For those who doubt the i19

I sense good things on the way

Quote:That actually turned out quite well, because it led to the devs re-evaluating some of the older badges that had insane requirements for them too.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
Oh man, I'd totally forgotten about BADGEPOCALYPSE.
Lawlz. -

I think that Chris Jenkins is probably going to get some competition now

Quote:It'll be any time between tomorrow and December 2012.Originally Posted by DevochkaTomnota
Now, with that out of the way, what EXACTLY is that latest official news regarding the release? Is it still "sometime after the Thanksgiving holidays?"
-
I think locking the PL'ed avatars for the average time it takes to get to 50 would be a suitable reward - no one loses anything, but they don't profit from it either
-
Quote:The devs won't say what the limit for PLing is, because then people would PL just inside the limit - for example, if they said PLing to 50 in 6 hours was too fast, then people would PL to 50 in 6 hours and 5 minutes.Originally Posted by Amanita
The thing I wonder is- if people DO start getting hit with ban-hammers or other sanctions, then who is gonna get it?
The people who've been on a few farm missions on various characters just to get to SO-level, or to get past a troublesome spot in their levelling?*
Or the ones with accounts full of level1-50 AE babies, who do little else BUT powerlevel? -
Quote:Exactly - he's not issuing frenzied letters every week - it was a one-off thing for an exception eventOriginally Posted by Tank_Washington
How many formal letters released by the lead developer referring to punishment for vaguely outlined parameters of "game abuse" have we had......................oh, right. Only one.

Quote:He wasn't raging and screaming at anyone - he was just making it clear that the excessive PLing being done in the AE wouldn't be allowedOriginally Posted by MunkiLord
That may have been his intent. But a lot of people(if not most) perceived it as a pissed off rant. And how it is perceived is the only thing that matters. His intent isn't relevant in the least bit.

Quote:Actually, he just made it clear that extreme abuse of the AE would be punished - he's not really the sort to go beserkOriginally Posted by Tank_Washington
Positron went berserk over the gift to pl'ing his team handed players, and turned off a number of returning subscribers in the process.

Quote:It was a joke about people who play other MMOs instead of CoHOriginally Posted by William_Valence
I don't understand what you mean by this. Are you saying that you don't want to discuss a thought experiment concerning those with emotional and cognitive disabilities and issues, because it pertains to players of other MMO's?

Oh, sure, they can dress up and play pretend, but the thing is that at the end of the day, they'll just get kidnapped and have to be rescued by the real men.

Try from post 234 onwards

Quote:Then you've not been paying attentionOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
No, they didn't

Quote:Actually, they did - that's why we're having this discussion.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
No-one ever said that machines, as built by humans today or in the foreseeable future, will ever be human-like enough to matter.

Quote:Those are all about physics, not souls.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
your point of arguement is the exact same people would have used against planes and motorised flight, horseless carriages (cars) and...oh, y'know, the notion that the Earth isn't the centre of the Galaxy?

There will be deleted avatars - again

Quote:Are they in all the sky, or just the part in front of my eyes? Like will I have to turn in a full circle to see them all? And are they touching , or sepearte, or overlapping? And are they in a pattern, or just random?Originally Posted by RadDidIt
Actually, here's a quick limit test. Imagine a billion suns, individually, filling the sky. Imagination fail.

Quote:So which drug makes you fall in love, and have all the experiences that come from a relationship?Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Yes, they can. Mental illness, mind-altering drugs, delusions (case in point) and a fair few other methods can create experiences that are far more real than actual experiences to the person exposed to those stimuli. That has been proven in practice enough times. If you choose to disbelieve it, you're only fooling yourself.
The belief that robots could ever be the same as real people is the kind of embarrasingly childish fantasy that desperate, anti-social loners with poor people skills dream up in the empty hope that they could find friendship with a machine rather than having to interact with real people - it's the kind of thing that obesssive nerd cliches cling to in their mom's basement - as a goal, it's about as serious and realistic as trying to turn lead into gold, which was an obsession of the proto-nerds in the middle ages
The idea's fine for sci-fi stories, because they're just modern fantasy stories - believing in the possibility of a robot that was "human" is like believing that one day you'll meet a dragon - you can meet a dragon in a story, just like you can meet a "human" robot - but in the real wold, neither of them exist, or are even possible. -
Quote:I don't think the forums rules let us discuss the players of other MMOs.Originally Posted by William_Valence
All your talk of emotion, have you ever considered those that are incapable of expressing or feeling emotion the same way you are? Do you believe that people with emotional and behavioral disorders, or cognitive disabilities are less human? Do you have a similar ability to discout their existance because they function differently? How about harming them, do you get to harm people with lesser to no emotional function, in the same way you believe is acceptable to act toward technologically Created intelligence?
