  1. As I've said before. I'm here until they shut off the servers.

    And even then, they're going to have to dislodge me from the server cabinets with high explosives...

    Think of it this way:

    NORMAL LOG:
    "Launcher starts"
    "Game starts"
    "Launcher closes"


    ADVANCED LOG:
    "Launcher starts"
    "Dump system info into logfile"
    "DLL A loaded"
    "DLL B loaded"
    "DLL C failed to load"
    "App crash due to failure to load DLL C"

    Not saying it works EXACTLY that way but...

    Update: Strange. When I went to http://www.badge-hunter.com/ first, then use the dropdown menu to Vidiotmaps (which goes to the same thing as my bookmark http://www.badge-hunter.com/index.php?/page/maps.php which was blocked a few minutes ago) I can browse fine.
    AVG is now fighting with Badge-hunter.com too


    This is what I'm getting.

    If B-H is using a hidden iframe, even for a legit purpose, that's probably what is causing the issue.

    It's been a great 8.5 years and I wish everyone well. Good luck with whatever you find yourselves doing next...

    Actually. 80 million. And that may or may not have included the customer list.

    Just got off a Skype with TonyV.

    His boss kinda "oversold" him at work. So he's been chained to a desk, nose-to-the-grindstone for the last couple weeks.

    When I asked about it, he said he'd drop an update on us in the next day or two.

    Inv/SS Tanker

    I've got like three of them. Plus an SS/Inv Brute.


    Again, followed closely by Fire/Rad controllers (again, two or three of 'em).

    Quote:
    3. What AT did you evolve to enjoy over the years that you disliked initially?
    Peacebringer.

    Some of my early experience turned me off of them. I went and created another later on, had more fun through some of the lower levels, causing me to go back to my original PB, respec him a bit and kick him to 50. He's been a MUCH more fun character since.

    I'm sorry that you don't want to hear this, but that is ALL it is.
    If this is all you've made of the game, you have my condolences.

    I'm not saying the game was a religion or the cure for cancer or a job or someone's kid. Treating it that way is irrational.

    However, to some people, the passtime engendered an investment (not a monetary one) that significantly exceeded that of "just a game".

    Quote:
    What some have you have made it or want it to be you should be able to transfer that to OTHER GAMES.
    Uh yeah. As someone's who's DONE community building, it just DOESN'T work that way.

    Can some of the community transfer to other games and keep said community? Sure. But, over time, the community tends to assume more and more of the characteristics of the new game's community. Or it stagnates into a clique.

    Quote:
    If the community of City of Heroes is as incredible as you claim, then that community aspect should be able to transfer to OTHER GAMES as well. If it can't, then maybe it wasn't so great in the first place.
    Again, the community can transplant. But it's holding an artificial barrier between itself and the greater game community of the new game.

    So you're not really correct here. To your credit, you did try to keep your post somewhat civil. For that, thank you.

    Le sigh...

  17. FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

    Oh. Wait. Wrong game...

    My bad!

    It's kinda funny, but most of the arguments I see coming from folks like you can be boiled down to a series of asterisks. Really shows the quality of your arguments, and their origins. Pure, raw emotion straight from the "anger" side of the five stages of grief.

    Your main mistake is your assumption that I'm actually arguing with you.

    I'm not.

    I'm simply making a statement that your PARTICULAR presentation of your perception of "fact" is openly hostile and unproductive.

    Even then, I'm not asking you to shut up. I'm simply saying your expression of confusion over having your own hostility being met with more hostility is disingenuous. You KNOW what sort of reaction you're going to get by saying things the way you're saying them. And, because it makes you the center of attention, you're going to continue to do so. Regardless of what anyone says. No matter how reasonable. This is what makes you an *******.

    Sorry if the truth hurts. And I'm sorry if you're offended by what the asterisks imply to you. If you're hell-bent on being as rude and nasty as you possibly can be, what right do you have to expect anything else in return?

    Now go back to entertaining yourself with your predictions of doom and destruction and telling people to grow up and do something else.

    I don't mean to nitpick, but I'm technically not a dev, but I am a member of Paragon Studios. Devs are the folks like Matt and Tim who do the real work, I just make them look good on a shoestring budget.

    Though many would say that I'm a backseat wanna-be designer at heart....

    Did you contribute to CoH in any way, shape or form?

    If the answer is "yes" then SHADDAP! YER A DEV!

  20. The problem is. You're NOT bringing "reality" to the situation.

    You're just being an ******.

    End of story.

  22. Bingo!

    Some may look at it as being "too fussy". Pfft. I played this game for very specific reasons, and it retained me for very specific reasons.

    Simply because other games are mechanically similar/identical doesn't mean I want to play them.

    It's like replacing an Audi A8 with a Volkswagen Beetle.
  23. The Freedom Fire/Rads may be there as well.

    There should be three of us. If there's more, we can pull in another team.
