I've never encountered this until tonight. I'm attempting my Patron Story Arcs and the npcs both mobs and escorts keep ziggzagging in mid air instead of attacking/following. Earlier tonight the server crashed so that may be part of the problem. I've reset the mission 3 times so far and it keeps happening. Is anyone else getting this anywhere tonight?

HanbitSoft had a large part to do with it though.

After what happened, I'm sure any US company will think twice before partnering with them again.

Please show me even one MMO that offers a Lifetime Subscription option.

LOTRO

[/ QUOTE ]We are done with that now...here try this Ouroboros portal.

LOL you never stop do you ... You and ZI both have that knack and I just can't put my finger on what it is.

yep I did read that, but it left it open to interpretation. It sounded like it could be dom like. I do like the dom mechanic where you power up a skill and unleash its hellbent wake. Maybe I'm just odd but it adds that feeling of... 'release the awesome' (10 points if you can name the movie reference without googling)

I guess I get irritated over these kinds of questions having played MMOs for so long and always seeing people make complaints about the fee.

[/ QUOTE ]

One reason I *choose* (being the operative word) to play MMOs and pay for the fee is the promise of server security. Now, if an MMO charges a fee and doesn't secure against hacks and bots and other exploits like some other MMOs (mostly item mall economy) then I refuse to play them.

If people don't want to pay the fee then thats their choice but they shouldn't have the right to bash a game or spread anti-game sentiments based on a choice of their own making.

So I guess in essence I agree with you.

That depends on how power boost works. If it works similarly to a dom where you power it up then cast it and it buffs you for a short time sure. But if its just a cast it whenever you want and it has a static cooldown, I'm not sure I'd use it that much when my bots are waylaying everything anyway.

It might be useful for tough fights where theres 5+ guys comeing from everywhere and you need everything immobilized, but how often does one get more than 5 guys? I typically get around 5 at a time. The only times I've ran into more than 5 are those pesky Rikti Comm officers. I've been in fights where I have 5 on me and 5 more run out of that dang portal and never seem to stop coming.

Since you've used it you'd have more insight into its usefulness than I have.

Only one thing...

After Hellgate London fiasco... I will NEVER pay for a lifetime sub again...

[/ QUOTE ]

Same goes for Tabula Rasa...They refunded people but still... To know you forked out that kind of money and could end up without what you paid for is disheartening.

I understand that, I just don't want to waste a respec because I plan on respeccing for the purpose of getting patron power pools and streamlining my current choices a tad more.

It's also the model used by some of the bigger games, because while some of those do offer lifetime subscriptions, I know two of those limit them only to people that went from Beta to Launch or bought the Collector's edition, and put everyone else on a monthly subscription.

[/ QUOTE ]
In the case of LOTRO, the "Founders" plan allowed people to get the lifetime subscription for $200. Anyone can get it now for $300.

By way of anecdote, I don't know *anyone* who would pay $300 all at once to play an MMO, even if they knew they'd save money in the long run.

[/ QUOTE ] Thats nearly two years of subscribing to get the value you put into it. Theres very few MMOs I play longer than a year at a time.... No way I'd do that. In the case of LOTRO I didn't last 4 months before calling it quits. That would have been money wasted.

Soon I'm going to be 40 and I've been toiling over the patron power pool decision for which arc I want to obtain.

At first I was going to go with Mu Mastery, because the electricity fits with his Technology/Android hybrid origins. However Most everything is Cone/Foe. I'm leaning heavily on Mace Mastery after some deliberating on the skills. The immobilize is AOE (area target) which is fine, and the skills have -fly, and the self buff has the same defense bonuses as MU + toxic resistance.

Basically for my playstyle I'm a Mastermind who is always bodyguarding. I use Forcefields to reduce the incoming damage even further. I also use a couple diff tactics <ul type="square">[*]I'll knockdown the enemy, send my bots in to attack; just before I take damage I hit the defense/follow macro[*]use Presence to maintain melee aggro and let the bots go to town.[*]hide bots around the corner with stay/passive to pull the mob into a more strategic location and then unleash the mayhem (ambush per se)[/list]Without having experience with just looking at them on paper, I'm wary of getting stuck with something I don't like. Given my playstyle, which ones would you choose and why? It doesn't have to be MU or Mace specifically those are just the two I'm currently leaning towards.

I've seen a variety of them scattered in the RWZ, black green, black red, silver purple, blue purple.... I don't think there is a standard color archetype for them. I've just been coloring my vanguard pieces along with my current primary costume colors. I'm also not going to get the entire costume. I have the chest unlocked but decided not to use it. I won't unlock the shoulders or the legs but may unlock the boots. I am working on the belt currently.

I had a similar idea for a character but when I went to look for the Skull Mask (yes, I checked Detail 1 up and down) it wasn't there.

I don't think females have access to the Skull Mask, a little trade off for having access to that kool Bolero with fur which Male and Huge models don't get.

As I don't own the magic pack I can only go off what people report on the forums. Unfortunately that leaves a huge loophole for corrections...

Which leads to another great idea: friend-only filtering for email. Please oh please.

~V~

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think friend filtering is the key. I think allowing players to edit their own email filter; word patterns using wild cards for subject and title and/or sender would work fine for my taste.

Sorry Player, it was a misunderstanding. No harm bud.

The Win Game Now Button has been suggested MANY times by people, including myself. I, personally, think it would be a brilliant idea, but it will never happen. It just won't.

[/ QUOTE ]

I never had you pegged as the sort. Odd what you find out about people.

[ QUOTE ]
No, the point of a quote is to see the quote you're quoting. Unless I move closer to the monitor or squint my eyes or highlight the text, I can't read it. So, in effect, I have no idea what you're quoting making actually quoting something a waste of everyone's time.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wasn't quoting anything, I edited my own post. You quoted mine... I only quoted you quoting mine. The edit is what you quoted.

I greyed out an original post, and put the corrected edit under it so that people wouldn't get confused.

Unfortunately there is no Strikethrough or I would have used that instead.

that macro will post the text Channel Name followed by the character name to the current default channel that you're in at the time by pressing 9.

I misread the macro. 9 will send whatever text to the 'channel name' followed by your name.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sorry, I missed that first part, could you speak up please?

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats the whole point for the edit. Not to delete it but also not to confuse it with the correction...

for more info for those not in the know:

I'm linking this cuz I had no clue what you were referring to and this may help people understand what it is in regards to.

You watch too much Bladerunner.

I've ran a board before, and it really isn't difficult to add custom smileys without upgrading the entire forum software. Its simply adding the smilies to the correct folder and then adding the smiley codes to the appropriate section either in the board files or the database.

I wonder if it works for Moderator_08

The only times I've grouped so far is to teach a new player some mechanic of the game by malefactor. Otherwise I'm solo.

Now if only 'I' could get party credit for 'me' and 'myself' as well, I'd be even happier.

For the record, I first thought the thread title was referred to the things I said to a returning player today that you shouldn't say on the forums:

-Healer
-Meow farm
-Jack Emmert

That is exactly the same as telling a judge in traffic court: "I pay my taxes, traffic laws shouldn't apply to me."

[/ QUOTE ]
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people actually do this. And then there's the ones that think they shouldn't pay taxes and traffic laws shouldn't apply to them...

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't pay taxes and I know for a fact traffic laws don't apply to me. My mommy told me so.
