Energy Melee is TOTALLY AWESOME! I have all of my sets slotted w/ KnockBack and fling them around like rag dolls. Single targets go down FAST.

I don't PVP much at all. In fact I hate it. But this toon is the only one I go into PVP zones safely with. He's a beast. Often heroes are like, "Why can't I hit you?" and I'm all "Stun Stun Stun Knockback" and lol'ing. It honestly takes 2+ Heroes to take me down, and 1vs1 he's just wrong.

PS- What are the changes you're talking about? I cannot find them.

I've already said I could easily see them giving us some PP as a means to apologize. I just think this idea that the company could or should cough up real money for this is overreaching on your part by leaps and bounds.

You can laugh at Pumice all you want but it keeps my hands soft and clean.

Just don't get it in your eyes.

Oh they could have some high level SS/RAD uranium servents of Igneous too.

Iron tanker ones?

As for the lost, not giving them Beam rifle is just bad.

Who said I'm upset, I'd just like to see that Paragon has any form of loyality to their subscribers. If boohiss Activ-Blizzard can do it, surely Paragon who aren't apparantly all evil scumbags, who feast on the tears of the frustrated, can do it to?

And if your bosses want to give away their product, that's cool. It's up to them. Willing to bet they're dealing with relatively low-value items (i.e. they're not a Ferrari dealership).

• For the people that mention the server list merge, that was a HUGE positive for the EU players as a whole. A large majority of us have made more friends and speaking on behalf of union, the server population did increase.
• For mentioning those costume competitions at early hours. Since there was only 3 costume competitions, either the EU or the NA would have to lose out on one and so i aint fussed that EU only got "1" costume competition in our primetime. Costume competition is a costume competition.
• For the posters telling EU players complaining to stop, no. As is said in many threads, we pay our subscription just the same as you and if we feel that we are being short changed in any shape or form then as a paying customer we have every right to voice our concerns/complaints.
• For the posters saying EU should just accept it, no. A lot of the posters who are telling the EU to be quiet are quite well respected people on these forums and i am quite shocked and dissapointed in those players who usually seem quite sensible. Yes we do complain a lot but we are a large portion of the community.
• In regard to people saying [including myself] that for once we'ld like to see NA downtime, there is a genuine reason for this. Its not something as petty as "punish" them and not us, no. The reason is we'ld like to proove to you doubters that these forums would explode [if they let you log in] from the NA players ranting about their playtime being gone. I do remember the one time not so long ago servers were down for you players and there WAS a lot of multiple threads full of rage and "omg!??!".
• Is it overreacting people asking for a days worth of free time added to their account? Not in the slightest. Asking for the money back would be childish, asking for the amount of lost time the EU has lost in the last few weeks is acceptable by a lot of paying customers.
• Finally a small story. My younger brother and friend both started playing this game about 2 weeks before i21. Both have quit now, their reason? They loved the game but didnt want to pay to play a game which is mostly down during their playtime.

Thursday 22sept: 9 hours downtime
Tuesday 20th sept: 3 hours downtime
Saturday 17th sept: 4 hours downtime
Thursday 15th sept: 4 hours downtime
Wednesday 14th sept: 2 hours downtime
Tuesday 13th sept: 12+ hours downtime [i21 we'll forgive!]

So since i21 launch there has been [note that they are the scheduled downtime, there was infact a lot more] 30+ hours downtime nearly all during EU primetime.

At some point, the merchant STILL has to put a foot down and make a decision between retaining a possibly impossible customer and letting that person go and focusing on other customers who are easier to satisfy.
