That doesn't concern me, but I am rather confused by how ambiguously I meet or do not meet the requirements.
    If the 60 month vet badge has been awarded to you in-game, then you'll be available for the Dual Pistol closed beta - but you might not get an e-mail telling you about it.
    If the closed beta is the same as the I14 one, then clicking on the forum main page - not the English one - will show you the closed beta section right at the top of the page.

    If you did one or more of these three things, and you're still not in the Dual Pistol closed, beta, then you should contact one of the mods.
  4. I'm pretty sure they mean live servers - they've already announced that Dual Pistols started their closed beta yesterday, so saying people could beta test them again next month isn't really such a big thing - but saying people can get them on the live servers a couple of months before GR goes live is a pretty big hook, I think.

I have no problem explaining the game to a new player on a low level (below 30) toon, but if you are lvl 50, you should know you way out of AP. Call me an elitist if you want, but really, AP?

    So what they did was leave the AE, and then started to screw things up for others who were playing the game, and not sitting at the end of a map while some one else played for them. I am not saying everyone who did the AE thing was like this, but there were enough to give the AE a bad name.

    Just my take on it.
    If someone's polite, then you should help them, no matter how basic their question might be, or how high their level is.

    The freedom of not having any superpowered loved ones disappear would be quite nice

    I'm assuming that's the basic Resistance storyline for GR

    I won't be killing anyone, and none of my powers set things on fire - the "theft" part is possible though - I'm sure Tyrant has plenty of secrets he doesn't want people to get hold of

    That doesn't make the good side wrong

    Remember, in all this we are still fighting Statesman, just one that decided that Freedom was too much of a risk against peace. And come July, we'll be on our way to prove his case.
    Well, I'll certainly be on his case in July

    Or do you believe we should back the people that routinely break the laws that keep the peace, damage or destroy public property and threaten the lives of the innocent?
    When those laws are made by a tyrant, then yes
    And the 90% of superpowered people who "disappear" are quite probably pretty innocent too
  14. Wasn't the last non-co-op zone they added a red side one?

    Well, badges are supposed to reflect most of the in-game activities - and teaming is one of them

    -The heroes a'comin' even after beating you down.

    And that's just some of the stuff that makes the mission harder. Villains also get to blow up cars and stuff which never gets old.
    Well, if you're going to break the law, you can't really complain when it makes life tougher for you

    No - because Tyrant's evil

    But raising the level cap is worse than an endgame system in a paid-for expansion - if someone doesn't want to try the endgame system, then they don't need to buy the expansion - but if they want to continue to level, then they have to buy the expansion - and as there seems to be a noticable lack of rage whenever an MMO invites people to pay for anew level cap, then I really don't think that an optional endgame system being paid-for content is going to upset too many people.

    Well, it's not our fault that Elite Bosses know that they'll stand more of a chance against Villains, so more of them like to have their lairs in the Rogue isles

    It will be for NCSoft

    But slightly more seriously, I'm pretty sure that GR will end up being bought by a very large section of the playerbase - if paid-for expansions didn't sell well, MMOs wouldn't bother releasing them.

    Or we're simply more poweful and skillful, so the blue side content just seems to be easier when compared to the way the weaker, more inept Villains struggle through their missions?

    It's for the DP beta too - so is the loyalty program.
