Quote:Then simply bow out of the argument if you're not concerned about it. No one is claiming they are entitled to every badge - but they do want a CHANCE at it. I agree that having a badge available for only 3 hours is a genuinely stupid idea that may alienate some players. Furthermore, I think that people can use whatever justification they like in their arguments. We, as the readers, will valuate each argument according to our own opinions.Originally Posted by StratoNexus
I just have little sympathy with people who feel they have a right to have every badge. I don't have a problem with completists desire, except when it is used as a reason to argue the devs should limit their design of badges based on that desire. -
Quote:I made this exact point in another thread and someone told me there's no excuse for laziness. Anyone who doesn't read the forums is apparently a lazy slob.Originally Posted by Airhammer
1) The notification of the free transfers were terrible. The email system is busted and rare;y updates you about everything in the game. Also the devs have to realize that there is a populace of the game which doesnt read the forums or doesnt look at the login page.

Quote:And bulldookey to you. The majority of players CHOOSE not to read the forums. To label them as lazy is sloppy thinking.... at best.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Bulldookey.
The fact that the majority of players are too lazy to get off their butts and check the announcements on the forums, or the main website to keep informed on what's going on in the game only means that they have no one to blame but themselves when they miss out on sales and events.
Willful ignorance is not an excuse. -
Quote:I see one small problem. "Best" is a value judgment and the prestige ranking does not attempt or claim to measure that. Furthermore, it won't even tell you the largest or most active group. All it tells you is that the group focuses on prestige. In some cases, that's actually a bad sign.Originally Posted by Slazenger
Sure I can, If I started playing the game as of today and I wanted to join the best SG, the only way in game to tell who that it is, is to go to the SG guy in Atlas or Port O and bring up the top 100 SG's. If I wanted to join the best I would automatically join the No.1.
Any otherway of supposidly joining the best SG is just hearsay with no hard facts.
If you want to find the best company to work at, do you just pick the one that's the biggest? -
Quote:No one is terrified about anything. We're just discussing, with distaste at worst, a really bad idea. Fortunately, the devs have made it clear they aren't dumb enough to be considering an increase in the level cap.Originally Posted by EvilRyu
No you just sound like all the other players who are terrified their enhancements are going to turn red but forgot that they are using IOs.

Quote:But the LEAGUE is NOT. This is demonstrated beyond any doubt by the leader having the unilateral ability to kick anyone they choose.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
You are confusing a public venue with a private venue. The LFG queue is a public venue.

Referring to each of your points.....
1) Raids typically use the Request channel (which shows up in a nice distinctive color) and ask everyone other than the leader to stay off that channel.
2) League max size is 48 people. Regarding the pylons, typically the raid leader will identify by number which one is next and entire raid party will attack it together.
3) Yep, having someone below 50 as a team leader is very bad. As for team balance, it really doesn't matter. You're moving and attacking as a huge mob. It doesn't matter much what AT's are on each team. It definitely helps if the raid as a whole has a few AoE defensive buffs like the big bubbles from the Force Field and Sonic sets.
That's my 2 cents, based on having led several raids and attended many dozens more. -
I'd probably drop a channel with over-eager mods like that. I've only seen that kind of nonsense happen once and there was such an immediate backlash from the channel members that the mod backed off and the channel has lived happily ever after.

Quote:They didn't do anywhere near enough. I think we're all in agreement that the majority of players do NOT read the forums. And, though this is anecdotal, most (more than half) of their email announcements do not reach me.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Oh I'm not saying the email system isn't pathetic. Merely pointing out that the company made 4 attempts to make everyone aware of the sale.
2 threads
1 announcement on the main website
1 email posting
I'm not sure if the sale was mentioned on the game updater. If they did then it's 5 attempts to let us know.
The company can only do so much to make the info available then it's up to us to read it.
They need to fix their crummy email system and make sure to always post on the launcher. -
I'm not familiar with any "Four Stack limit" for debuffs. Is that something specific to the Incarnate debuffs?

Is Wendy still responding to me? If she is I don't know why she is bothering.
By the way, does your post serve ANY purpose aside from drama? If you've put someone on ignore, at least don't be a tool about it by announcing and dramatizing it. -
Quote:Not following you here. The PSU should be venting out the back of the case. The only cable within 6" of my PSU fan is the power cord which is TO THE SIDE of the fan and therefore not blocking it in any way.Originally Posted by Dark One
Besides, I'd rather the PSU fan be venting to open air than having it vent under all the cabling and such.
Seriously, having the power supply at the bottom of the case is a better design. That's why it's steadily becoming more common. -
Not to mention that the computer is grounded by being plugged in. Static electricity is a danger when handling components which are not installed.

Quote:It could always be worse. I know someone who gave away all his stuff before quitting. Then decided to come back. Then he did the exact same thing AGAIN! And he's back again.Originally Posted by MunkiLord
I agree. There has been multiple occasions where I've canceled my sub for the final time, not out of anger or anything, but just because it is time to move on after playing the same game for so many years. But then something comes out and I just gotta try it, and I usually end up really liking it. So I keep giving them my money. It's wrong!

Quote:Ditch the queue. Most people don't use the queue at all, which is why the average listed time is.... misleading? No, let's call it "worthless". When a full league enters the queue to do a trial, they are calculated into the average.Originally Posted by Dominemesis
Here is my experience without hyperbole or anything, just where I am at. I am bouncing between CoH and WoW atm, and the problem I am having with both, and why I won't likely be subscribed to either soon, is that most of my play time is expended sitting in a LFG queue. In WoW, its LFG queues for heroics dungeons and the new ZA/ZG, and I am looking at 45-1hr since I am neither a healer nor a tank.
Here, in COH, on Guardian server, I am looking at 30mins on average (despite that the queue says the average wait time is 4-5mins, it isn't), -
Quote:Their email system is pathetic. I get their announcements about half the time (I didn't get this one) and anything flagged as spam goes into a specific folder that I always check before emptying. Either the internet is so unreliable that half of their emails go missing (and my experience at work and with family belies this) or their email system is a sad and pathetic joke.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
And then there's the Email they sent out
BTW, when I purchase something from the NCSoft store, I ALWAYS get the emails. -
Quote:Naive comments like this drive me wild. Well, maybe more misinformed that naive. Marketeers don't screw anyone over. Certainly, some people mess with the market, fix prices, attempt to corner items, etc. Those are not marketeers. They are manipulators.Originally Posted by ricktu
Marketeers make their billions by screwing over the casual player. And worse they even have the nerve the blame their victims for being impatient. The comeback "you don't have to pay these prices" does not absolve you from setting them so high in the first place.
If you prefer this course and enjoy it, bravo. As many have said, using the market is not required.Quote:Originally Posted by EvilRyu
This is why I been boycotting the market and have been since about issue 11 or so. Its just not worth feeding their market greed. I suggest those who are tired of it to do the same. I can guarantee you can get the stuff just farming it yourself via flashback or tickets than you will waiting overnight for those bids to fill in. What I been doing lately is making lowbie alts and leveling them mostly in the AE and doing tfs and tip missions. Doing all the 3 of these means I do not have to look for the market for a single thing. All of them will have the uniques they need at the earliest possible levels and I am not hurting for salvage either. Once they hit 50 I cash in the a-merits for IOing out the builds they need.
However, this line "Its just not worth feeding their market greed." suggests your goal is to 'stick it to the man'. If so, that's foolish. Trust me, the 'greedy marketeers' are not hurt by (or noticing) your absence from the market. -
Quote:Stopping at 50 has nothing to do with laziness. This game is designed differently from other MMO's. Frankly, the idea of increasing the level cap in this game well and truly BLOWS. Seriously, the idea is so bad and so stupid that it doesn't even merit consideration.Originally Posted by EvilRyu
so the short answer is the devs are just lazy? I am not buying that. If every other MMO under the sun can do this I dont see what is holding back the devs.
It would require a revamp of most game systems and most enemy groups and - here's the important part - IT WOULD GIVE NO BENEFIT. Raising the level cap serves no inherent purpose. Raise it to 60, people rush to 60 and start complaining again. Raise it to 70 and the same happens. Much better to stop at a specific number, never raise it, and head off all that stupidity. -
Quote:Yeah.... I have an Antec 900. It has 9 blue LED's (3 per fan on the 120MM fans only). Since it's in my bedroom, I cut the leads on the LED's until it wasn't annoyingly bright. I have only 2 of them left.Originally Posted by Dark One
I'm also looking at cases. I want something that looks neat. LEDs, lotsa fans, the whole bit.
Coolest feature (in my opinion) is the 220MM fan in the roof of the case.
My comp sits on the floor also and has the power supply on the bottom. This is not a concern unless you have a shag carpet or something that is going to block the fans or generate a lot of dust or fibers. The heat is going out a 5" diameter hole with a fan. It could be sitting on wood, a rug, concrete, whatever. You're not removing heat via conduction into the floor. Well, technically you could be, but it's not meaningful compared to how much heat is dispersed by air flow.Quote:The only requirement, really, is that it have a top-mounted power supply, since my comp sits on the floor and don't want the heat to build up there. -

Firstly, I'm surprised to hear that since:
1) Moonfire is the WST this week.
2) Someone on my global list was recruiting for Moonfire on global channels last night and had a full team very quickly. I did not join because I was going to be logging off soon.
To answer the question in your title, yes. I play in a regularly scheduled villain group every Tuesday evening. The same SG does heroes on Thursday evenings, which I sometimes join. I run a task force for my SG every Friday evening. Two weeks ago we did run Incarnate trials, but 90% of the time it's non-50 content.
We don't need new global channels for non-trial teams. We have multiple such channels already. Are you using them? I would recommend (and am on):
Inf Badge Seeker
Infinity Hamidon (I'm on op here)
Infinity Badges 2.0
AE Anonymous -
Quote:I never said it was hard. I said that one way was "easier". I would think that is self-evident based on the fact that you often have more time remaining than you started with.Originally Posted by Beef_Cake
Sorry to say this but each time I ran the requirements for these badges, when the league entered only one side or the other, we had well over a minute left on the timer when we collected all 10 temps, so yeah it's not hard at all when you have 2 teams rushing the objectives.
