Sounds like a very painstaking task. I only hope NCSoft learned a valuable lesson from this the next time a booster goes live on the store and not enough servers to handle the load.

I mean honestly...the Titanic on her maiden voyage had a better success rate.

Hmm, I want to buy the AE box, which comes with the free month AND the code for the Magic pack (or Cyborg, but I already have that). Am I missing where this is available? I'm completely dense and blind at times.

Or is the box not out yet? Online that is...or is it ONLY in stores?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's available in stores. I know for a fact that EB/Gamestop carry it, because I bought mine there. The quantities seem very limited though.

Buying the boxed set is actually a better value, since at $19.99, including a month of game-time, the booster pack costs you $5-$7 (depending on your local tax rate), instead of $9.99. Also, having a disc with all patches through I14 in it will make any future re-installs much quicker.

It also allowed me to bypass all the billing shennanigans mentioned here, and let me go straight to the code application process.

Would you deny us things This awesome?

Beautiful. Kudos to you.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OO!!!

Leave it please!

The layered cape effect is very cool, and even with the clipping that can occur, with the right cape combos, you can limit it or make that clipping effect look intentional and good.

The power is cool - much more useful than self destruct I would say hehe

Blasphemy!

The "BOOM" is the greatest power there is.

Sigh. I suspected that was the case, but just hoped I was overlooking something. Thanks for the reply.

I have mine reserved at the local EB. It soundeded like they migh have only gotten one copy in.

I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere, but my search-fu is weak, so please indulge me.

1) Can you rename a standard mob that you put in a custom group?
2) Can you re-skin a standard mob that you put in your custom group?
3) Can you use the model/skin of an existing mob you place in your custom group, but assign it new powers?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

The system I've been trying to stick to is this:

Everyone gets three stars by default. Story can swing that by 1 star. Fun factor can swing it by one. That gives it the full 1 to 5 range.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good system.

..... all this effort to make some really intricate and gorgeous magic costumes, and no sign of a simple Wizard Robe variation of the Trenchcoat? Comeon devs, people have been asking for a basic Wiz's Robe for ages!

[/ QUOTE ]

SexyJ has said that with the current engine, player robes are an impossibility, IIRC. Seems he's tried it several times, but could never get the to work.

[ QUOTE ]
Can we use tickets to unlock these costume pieces for level creation without buying the pack?

[/ QUOTE ]

Given that you can do this now for other, "premium" costume parts, I'd guess yes. I wonder if they'll have their own ticket cost, or get lumped in with another, existing package. My guess si the former.

Siphon more cash from the masses. How about some cool free stuff?

[/ QUOTE ]
Well there's this new thing out now, you might have heard of it, it's called "Freedom of Choice."*
Yes, new “Freedom of Choice” with “Askitol” allows you to ask questions about products to make informed decisions before you choose to buy.

But wait! There’s more! “With Freedom of Choice” You actually can choose to NOT buy!! That’s right, new “Freedom of Choice” puts the decision making power in YOUR hands! You can actually refuse to buy any product at your very own discretion!!

But wait! There’s still more…
With new “Freedom of Choice” you don’t need to stop at the purchasing of products, you can actually use “Freedom of Choice” with virtually any decision making process.

Use it for all these everyday applications:
- Boxers or briefs?
- Ginger or Mary Ann?
- Chinese or Italian?
- Umbrella or chance it?
- Making unnecessary posts that could possibly make you look like a butthead on game forums
- And more!!

And best of all, for those who are ever on the lookout for “some cool free stuff” new “Freedom of Choice” is absolutely FREE!!!... COOL!!

*Disclaimer:
Freedom of Choice has been reported to diminish in effectiveness under certain situations such as:
-Age of maturity
-law
-citizenship
-religion
-cultural expectation
-and predominatly, marriage
-other situations may or may not diminish Freedom of Choice

So will you be crediting our accounts for the extra loss of game time?

[/ QUOTE ]

Bwahahahahaa!

Seriously, assuming you missed the EULA, what's that going to amount to?

[/ QUOTE ]

Let's see. $14.99/month = $14.99/30 days (about) = $.50/day = $.50/24 hours = $.02/hour

Yep they should credit all our accounts for what, about 8 cents?

(edit to fix rounding error)

[/ QUOTE ]

Now divide that by the number of servers, since only one is down...

Cute.

Personally I was expecting Dennis Miller.

This.

[/ QUOTE ]

True dat, course that was my era.

Of the others that argued between Dan and Chevy... come on guys obviously the real pro there was Jane!

[/ QUOTE ]

No... Jane was an ignorant [WARNING EXPLICIT LYRICS].

Denis was my era, though I remember (and have since seen repeats of) the earlier Weekend Updates. IMO, he was the epitome of that segment. Certainly, nobody since has come even close (though I'm liking the current team better than any other in a long time).

Die Kuche von Barron (Barron's Kitchen)

[/ QUOTE ]

No.

1) There's an umlaut in there. Either use "u" with the 2 dots (which I have no idea how to reproduce here) or "Kueche"
2) This translates to "The Kitchen of Baron." While that might sound right, it's really an "all your base are belong to us" translation. "Barrons Kueche" (Barron's kitchen) or "Die Kueche des Barrons" (the kitchen of the Barron) would be better.

Thus endeth the pedantic section of our post.


Interesting take on the brat preparation. I usually soak them in beer, onion and garlic before grilling/broiling and then baste them just before they're done. Real pork brats are the best. Trader Joe's actually has some pretty good quality ones.
