Infurnus_EU

I know you've all heard this rant many times before, but i'm really considering leaving the game for good now...

Been playing 4 years last Feb, started on EU release date, and im finally fed up with everything, the way the games evolving and things like that..

what im basically on this post for is to let everyone know and if anyone knows of any good MMOs thats worth a try..

Currently checking out EVE Online but doesnt seem to have any actual content to it.

OK, i know im not the only person out there actually making proper arc's even with all the hoohar of MA farming, and ive been hoping my newest MA arc (125789) would reach the Hall of Fame status at some point, but unfortunately the MA system lets people rate woteva they want without the need to leave feedback...

i come to this conclusion every time i see that i lose a rating star on an arc: "If it didnt recieve 5 stars, what the hell needs to be improved on it?" without the actual information given from the player to help me improve it. To be honest it does my head in.

If im not told what needs to be improved on it, how can i change it? but if its difficulty related (as it is a hard arc) then they can bugger off not lowering the difficulty for it and to be completely honest, i dont they should lower the rating cause they found it a little hard, though that may not be the case.

anyway in summary, they need to make comments compulsary for anthing lower that 5 stars. have your say on it here.

This is the 5 year anniversary isn't it? The one we expected would reveal the future plans that the triple sized team have been working on?
Surely that's what they've been doing cause I haven't actually seen much of a difference between the triple sized team and the 15 staff

I have! Less issues/content over longer periods of time!

I was told it was due on i14 release, the i was told it would be a week after on the tuesday (tomorrow now) can i get a redname confirmation on when it'll be out or an ETA?

tried this twice now and it keeps crashing when i goto the page of the global channel in question, clicking invite then the option to invite all global friends

using vista.

count yourselves lucky.....still waiting

dont bother using Logan or Wolverine or any type of "1337" offspring

all depends on the type of character youve made, robotic? pirate? ninja? ninja pirate? pirate ninja? robotic pirate ninja? or nething else u can think of, or even go as crazy as robitic ninja pirate!

Step up NCWest.

See nows about the time you post both here and in the Valentines Event thread (discussing the lay-offs) to reassure as all. The silence is not really all that comforting.

you broke da servas!

loved last years Omega Sektor, it was originally planned to hold it again this year during easter weekend of 10-14th of april until OS went into admission/submission (whichever u prefere to use ) unfortunatly the 20hours of footage recorded suddenly went Stalker on us and placated us

really hoping for an event this year too, but with the sudden rumours of staff drops and the recession and all that pants i wouldnt put my money on it

just hoping nothing bads going down within the ranks of NC, wishing u all luck for the future!

I've got a similar problem my dates shifted 11 days and while my account was inactive for a few days it certainly wasn't 11 days so I've raised a ticket with support just waiting to here back

[/ QUOTE ]

exact same problem, joined feb 4th 2005, canceled for 7 days im now on 17th feb 2009 for next reward

They already have a system of choice when coming to ingame improvements, such as Respecs, you can earn them, recieve them free, buy/find them as recipes or buy them from the store, i see where youre coming from in terms of overpowering builds, but hey, they could always use the same system so as everyone has the same opportunity...

1 free slot when respecs are given free
1 slot recipe
1 slot in shop for 99p
1 slot from a trial of some sort equalling difficulty to a mix between States/Recluse TF/SF and ITF with a bit of SSTF1-4 thrown in for good meassure.

Not sure about everyone else, but id love the ability to buy enhancement slots from the plaync store in a similar way you can buy respecs and character slots.

Mainly comes from the fact a few of my characters just simply dont have enough slots for the full build id like. Now i reckon some of you would be like "zomfg D0000M! he iz crazy yeyeye" and all that gibberish, but in my honest opinion, this could be a way for them to make even more money and for us to actually be able to get the builds we so desire...

if i were to put an estimated price tag on them right now, id say 99p a slot would be reasonable...

i await your feedback, good or bad...

Claws eviscerate, now its not a cone, makes no sense =/ They should make it more like the traditional 'two slash' attack, blades slashing at neck hieght in oposite directions. Classical 'finishing move'

[/ QUOTE ]

Huh? It is a cone, a short ranged one anyway. At least my Claws scrappers is, I just got it. It's the same sort of cone as Sands of Mu / Shadow Maul, you can get 2-3 people in it.

Did it used to be BIGGER?

[/ QUOTE ]

You'lll find its the same as it was before "except the range increased from 5' to 7' at some point along the line

the difference being the STALKER version was changed to single target, due to stalkers being very much single target based in order to hit criticals properly when hidden, AoE type powers on a stalker have a "chance to crit" when hidden

and the lag will go away.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can we quote you on that?

ah, on a sidenote, ive discovered something potentially good for this problem, i usually crash about 1 minute after i load a new zone by this error, but ive stumbled onto a temporary fix!

tadaa!

i give to u all:

/unloadgfx

short, sweet and easy to do, i found macroing it to my powertray for easy use and doing it after i load a new zone has stopped my crashing! hope this helps the devs make a quickfix for it or something

ooookay, dxdiag file was bigger than previously thaught. ne1 who could take a look at it for me plze add a reply and ill mail it to u, thnx in advance..

same goes for GMs :P

all current drivers up-to-date, when i get a better chance ill run a dxdiag and post it

applied both hotfixes, didnt do a thing ¬.¬ anything else i can do?

GM rewards were reduced cause they were farmed....ah the good old days of 1-30 from luska........ myeh anyway, granted i think they took them down too far, worth less than an AV (or about the same) and ive not seen the 'boss' in faultline as of yet or heard anything different.

but as of my original post something new, sort of like a mix between the Hydra and the Hamidon with a touch of Luska.


Big sludge with spawned tenticles...

speaking of GM rewards, i was highly disappointed with the fact Luska pretty much requires you to take down the 8 tenticles before assaulting the head, yet still only offers 2 merits for the whole thing, rather than 2 per appendage.

I though i remember there being rumours of a GM in the new Faultline something like "Theres something created in the water by the oil spill"

got me thinking, how about a giant sludge type GM with toxic damage that rises from the water after killing say 200 Vaz from morning to night, kinda like caleb...

feedback awaited

ok, ive been playing for a while on my new pc and its really starting to annoy me. the application crashes atleast 15 times a day when putting in a good 6 hour playtime or more.

im running a Geforce 9600GS 768mb card on vista with the latest driver. is this a known issue or is there some sort of fix i need to add?

that being said, i think the AI for bruisers at least has reverted back to stone-age caveman in IQ, aswell as my Grave Knights on another MM, both have the IQ of a carrot, neither will run in willingly while they have ranged attacks, such as my grave knights like to think themselves as blasters unless something actually comes to them...

as for the ai rewrite, i can imagine it being a complete overhaul on the layout ubt it shouldnt be too difficult as its just a matter of really adding a few lines for a "check if its ticked on or off" statement, if off, ignore and move on

annoying, arent they? they last 1-2 minutes, depending on which buff you use...

in my opinion they should either be changed so they last longer but cost more end, or if possible to have a slider to allow its customisation, 1 end of the bar makes duration lower, end cost lower and its effect greater, while the other end makes the duration longer, end cost higher and its effect slightly lower

my reasoning behind this is powers like Clear Mind, Speed Boost are generally wanted but always go forgotten because they only last a minute or so, its annoying for a buffer to keep a whole team topepd up every battle on a map...

No, it doesn't. What's wrong with it?

[/ QUOTE ]
It's over-long, not at all exciting and very hard with a large, inexperienced team - all in all not a very good introduction to TFs for people new to the game.

Red names have admitted it could use a look at (it's actually two TFs they welded together when they found the early game's mission system couldn't support follow-on TFs), but as with many things it's a question of finding the time.

[/ QUOTE ]

I spoke to a member of the NC team in Omega from March 08, and they said they devs are planning/working on a revamped posi, whether this is still going ahead or not is another question, but if it is id have a guess at a live update for it around i15 possibly i16 - dont quote me on that though

[/ QUOTE ]

I will not wait that long.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm curious as to what you'll do which will actually have an impact, other than registering your displeasure?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's a bit hard to understand your message tbh...but "registering your displeasure"? Yes I am. And is there anything wrong with that? I am asking for these systems to be fixed/redesigned, just like any suggestion.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, unfortunatly for you, these things, like everything of good quality, take time...

on the other hand if you decide that the waiting isnt worth while theres several other things you COULD do in the meantime, such as;

-take up a new hobby
-do different TF's/story arcs you havent done before (im sure theres one, there always is)
-possibly if none of the above suit you, you could always just cancel your sub and sulk in a corner until the devs have succumbed to you wants and needs....

have some time to think about it...

same as every other tf i hold, slow and steady, defeat all we come accross, all who opose me recieve no mercy!

*ahem*

ye, was good
