Quote:And some (like you, me, and many others) seem to think way to much of their own postings. I personally find it funny that the more posts a person has, the more seriously they tend to take themselves.Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
EDIT: Some of the people on these forums are acting like this is their first time reading or posting on these forums. Sheesh. -

Question: what makes you so sure that NCSoft Marketing didn't provide the Post with questions that NCSoft / Paragon Studios wanted to answer or wanted to address?

Quote:Fat chance of that. GG likes to make broad statements that can be interpreted several ways on any given occasion but, she almost never seems to back them up. I will give her a little bit of credit, she is correct more often than simple luck would indicate, but such vague statements are generally pretty easy to interpret any way you want to make them true.Originally Posted by Noxilicious
And can you give us a link that actually shows what you just said and it isn't just conjecture based on the single fact that a BAF raid will come out?
Still though, this one is a little more specific than most, so it might be a leak from the last M&G. Either way, she won't be able to back it up and I'll wait and see what happens. -
You might be right truegentleman and Knightward, but if we suddenly don't hear anything out of Posi for six months we will know why, just like with BABs.
-
Not sure a TF involving breaking out or breaking someone else out of the BAF is really epic material. It's already pretty easy to get in and out of the island facility as is. Besides, it really is a little too similar to LR breaking the villains out of the Zig to feel original.

Is it me or does she say the same thing for each answer but in a different way?
I was wondering if I was the only one that read that into it too. Guess not.Quote:Originally Posted by MrHassenpheffer
So we won't be getting the whole alpha up front.
Its a good thing as she says because the whole alpha would be overwhelming.
A lot of it will require digestion.
No nerd rage please. -
Decent article overall. Pretty well written and informative on the background, without really telling us anything new.

Quote:Fair enough. I was just trying to say that the genre is more important than you were giving it credit for. I have one particular game, that was given to me, that for ease of play and general scope can be fun. Only problem is I do not like the overall genre and play it maybe once every other year or so IF I can't find something else I want to play OR find a decent book to read. I will also admit though, that the genre WILL NOT keep me playing a game if it is not fun to play either though.Originally Posted by Carnifax_NA
Well obviously the genre had some appeal, it's not like I said "Hey, I despise superheroes and everything they stand for but I'll try this anyway". But there was plenty of other MMOs (and games) from genres I also like around. The fact it's a superhero MMO isn't that much of a clincher for me (which is what Lascher is saying)
What drew me to the game chiefly was the fact my now-wife was going around the world for 6 months and I needed something to occupy myself and a friend was playing this. If he'd been playing [something-else-which-cannot-be-mentioned] I'd have tried that instead.
What's kept me playing mostly is the same sort of thing that made me throw 100s of hours into single player RPGs like [Name withheld to protect the innocent] and [Name withheld to protect the innocent], lots and lots of builds and power combos to mess with. -
Quote:I am neither here nor there on this argument, but let's be honest. For most people the "genre" is what drew them to this game in the first place. You probably would not even know how enjoyable it was to play this game if the genre had no appeal for you.Originally Posted by Carnifax_NA
Some of us don't particularly give a fig about "genre" and play the game simply because it's an enjoyable game to play.

Quote:Good review and dead-on in my opinion.Originally Posted by Battlerock_X
It's a little late, but this is my review of this feature.

Summary: looks nice, but I think it's still not worth the $9.95 price tag. -
Quote:I'm more than a little confused by that post myselfOriginally Posted by retched
I just reread this and I'm still scratching my head on this one.... and I just respec'd my L50 just a moment ago in-game
You don't lose any "bonus" by respec'ing a L50 using L47's. If I'm not mistakened, the bonuses stay the same. You're not changing your level under any circumstance. Unless you're referring to the "Show More Detailed Info" button showing your information incorrectly. -
Quote:You MunkiLord, will get an apology from me when you follow LISAR's rather disgusting suggestion. Of course, then I would have to have you arrested for SA.Originally Posted by MunkiLord
Nothing is wrong with that expectation. But coming across as whiny is really lame. So you owe me an apology for being lame. I guess you can apologize to Lisar too, but I deserve it more.
-
Quote:Tell me LISAR, what exactly is wrong with expecting people to say "I am sorry" when they admit to a mistake? I would argue that the real wrong is accepting half of an apology when it could be a full and appropriate apology by adding that statement. Didn't your parents teach you to do just that, say "I am sorry" when you were wrong? I know mine did and I teach the same to my own children, it is only right after all.Originally Posted by LISAR
Do you want him to wash your car and wipe your butt as well?
-
Quote:Thank you Posi. That was what I was waiting for actually. Of course giving us the common courtesy of saying "I am sorry, but I was wrong" might have been better. At least, that is how I (and most parents I believe) teach my children to do it.Originally Posted by Positron
Positron was wrong.
-
Quote:That wasn't a complaint, but an example of a certain persons ability to "misrepresent", whether intentional or not. Personally I could care less about dance emotes. I think they are lame in general. I do care about someone saying we would get something in a paid expansion, which I bought, and it mysteriously ending up to be part of a separate paid pack instead.Originally Posted by DarkGob
Are you still going to be complaining about this ridiculously minor detail a year from now?
Oh and first after a Posi Post!!!!!! -
Quote:Positron also said that we were getting dance emotes with GR.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Positron said just before the launch of GR that the Incarnate slots wil be given out in ones or sometimes twos in each Issue.
-
Only one thing worries me about this update and it is this quote from the GR homepage:
"Every major content update will reveal new Incarnate abilities."
Does this mean every Issue will have a new Incarnate slot OR only large Issues will have a new Incarnate slot? Not to be too picky but if we only get one or two slots a year for the next few years, then I will be disappointed.
Other than that though, this stuff looks amazing. -
Quote:He did say in his next post though, that he was interested in two auras and one cape, which like me, changes his perception of the price point of this pack from a less than a buck per item to more than three bucks per item. I will go on to say that there is no way I would add at least one of these items to every one of my toons (or even most of my toons), so that lowers my perception of the value of this Pack even more. Fair or not, that's just the way it is for me.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
I'm saying his perception doesn't carry much weight as he admits auras and capes aren't his thing.
With the Party Pack there was legitimacy to the griping about the price point.
With this one, I'm not seeing it.
A buck an effect for some REALLY NICE effects? C'mon now. -
Quote:Your trying to argue perception Nether and you can never win that argument with someone. Fact is he doesn't feel it is worth the money without more added too it. I can see his point personally because I was only really interested in 1 cape and 2 auras, which for me would raise the price of that pack to $3.00 per item. I don't perceive those three items being worth that much. You can try to argue that point with me if you want but you would only be blowing a lot of hot air around since you will not change my perception of this pack.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
in which case you're not the audience for this pack.
which seriously erodes the value of your opinions as to its relative worth. -
Quote:I have actually seen several people that "claim" to have done this. I admit to a little bit of skepticism since I did not witness it myself but, apparently it can happen.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
The Dropships should be able to be brought down
-
Quote:While I partially agree with you here Nether, I have to say that buying a set of capes that do not support both long and short versions is a little surprising. Especially since the standard seems to be all the capes having both versions. I am actually pretty happy that I did not buy the pack now since short capes are the only ones I ever use and I was only interested in two auras.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
it was available to check out on test for a good bit before it went on sale.
caveat emptor, and all that. -
Quote:My personal thought on this was that one the extra power that "City Traveler" allows you to get is very seldom a Game Changer(tm). It does help, but often not to the degree that most people think. I think the only place it may be even slightly overpowering is in the realm of PvP and I am not sure how much that really help. After all, most PvPers are all IO'd out anyways and their power is so far above an average toon it is just silly.Originally Posted by Hallowed
Interestingly, I too thought the City raveler bonus would be a game-changer for may of my characters, but it has not really worked out that way. Very few of my characters actually end up taking advantage of the ability, because a) There's almost always something "better" to pick at levels 6-12, b) with all the other things that make travel simpler (bases/base tp'ers, Pocket D, jetpacks etc) I usually don't take travle powers until later in the game and c) I like many of the pre-reqs to the travel powers.
This trend is mirrored by those in my SG with City Traveler unlocked. I think it's a case of "sounds better than it actually ends up being." -
I was getting on to see if there was any new info about Issue 19 and was kinda disappointed by the main website. Then I came into the forums and saw this thread. Not quite so disappointed then.
On top of that when I logged out the other day a huge download started up. Put that together with a friend, that attended the M&G, telling me they are aiming for a Nov 16th drop of Issue 19 and now I am happy. Altogether that aim *seems* to be pretty good. Really hoping it works out. -
Quote:Didn't you say you were going to do that back in June? To be honest I am sympathetic with you, but they will only listen AFTER you take the money away and then complain via customer support.Originally Posted by Scream_Lady
Do you guys at NCsoft know that Brazilian costumers can´t buy going rogue? or any boosters?
Did u know that the brazilian community on the game is over?
When did you plan to do something, remove Level up games as your retailer or you gonna keep losing more money.
The number of friends i introduced to COH that left the game is over 12, just because u can´t buy adds.
I am tired of complaining to NCsoft support or level up games support they all say, that its all being take cared, since 2008 and nothing.
I think ill have to cancel the game as well, move to another -
Probably because no matter how far off topic YOU think it is, the fact is it is still discussing the topic, which is the Halloween Event and the badges we can get from it.
