Now I believe that was mentioned by Synapse here on the forums (somewhere). The 'plan' (obviously subject to change) is that SP2 *WILL* be purchasable with Reward Tokens, but *NOT* when initially released.

If by "all who were like me", you mean players who are only marginally happy with the game, then yeah, I guess most of them have left. However, there are plenty of players like me, who think the game is great, is going in a good direction and who are happy enough with it to have more than one VIP account *AND* buy extra points.


It is. I make this statement with 100% certainty. You see, "worth it" is purely a VALUE JUDGEMENT. It's worth it to me, so I can make a definitive statement. It may, or may not, be worth it to you or someone else. Everyone has their own take on the matter.

Sorry, but you are wrong. I say that as a factual statement. You are wrong, because you are trying to pass your OPINION off as fact. That makes you wrong automatically.

MY OPINION is that VIP is a great deal and I am being well-rewarded for my loyalty. You know, by little things like a bunch of extra character slots for being a long-term subscriber - things I would have had to pay for.

Well, that's because most people today have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement. What else could explain a bitter taste from the simple fact that people who pay more get more?


And this is what someone without a clue sounds like. Seriously? You think they don't want people who pay every month, sometimes signing up for a year at a time (which I do) and then ALSO buy Paragon Points because they want more? These are the players they want the most. I would think this is blatantly obvious, but I guess not to some.


Unsurprisingly, NCSoft has no specific loyalty to any one player or any category of players. It's a business. Subscribers are better than non-subscribers and long-term subscribers are better than month-to-month subscribers. (Predictability of income is a big deal.)

As for "bleeding people", that's a given. That will always be happening, in every game, business, whatever. So the fact that some long-term subscribers will leave is assumed.

Sorry, I left it in the flying car.

Gladly. If you wanted to use Dual Pistols, Electric Control, Kinetic Melee or Demon Summoning, you had to *BUY* the Going Rogue expansion. So, even then, some sets were free and some had to be bought.

But now, those four sets I listed are FREE TO VIP's! So you're getting some free that you used to have to pay for on top of your subscription. And you don't feel VIP?


Now you're playing word games, I guess. As a VIP, you get FREE POINTS every month. But you want a discount? Gee, how about buying the new powersets with the points that you got for being VIP. That sure sounds like a discount IN PRACTICE.

So, since that statement was pure BS, not gonna bother with the rest of the post. This is a classic 'entitlement' thread.

To be fair, on Infinity, the Taxibots were one of THREE supergroups that did that.

Yes and yes.
BUT.... if you have made changes to both copies and then overwrite one copy with the other, you will lose the changes you made in the copy being overwritten.

Let me explain. We understand it just fine. But we DISAGREE with you. We understand your point, we read your reasons and we STILL think it's a bad idea. It's that simple. Intelligent people with similar experiences (i.e. years of playing this game) can have different opinions on how things should be done.

umm......

No, it does NOT say that. You're still getting it wrong. The conversion rate is 500 to 1. 200 million inf would give you 400,000 prestige.

I was alive, but I didn't watch it then.

Actually, I think I 'got' the same thing as Forbin did......
'Back in the day', if you weren't subscribed, you got NOTHING. *THAT* is the starting point for comparison.

Try to guess why. I didn't even log in on the night that it came to Infinity.

I think that phrase was intended to refer to loss of life on such a scale that it affected civilization, ya know, like the Black Death that killed about half of all the people in Europe.

OMG! I love that movie. I have it on tape. And now....
"Coming to Blu-ray and DVD combo pack September 4th 2012!"
Woo hoo!

They had a one-time bonus grant of prestige - 20,000 prestige for every character in the SG. So..... fill the SG with throw-away characters to get 150 members and BAM! 3 million prestige overnight.

They then had some type of glitch, and the prestige awarding script was run again like 2 days later. DOUBLE BAM!


Yep. Additionally, since Praetorians can not have supergroups, once they leave Praetoria the first group they join gets a 100K bonus. This is a one-time thing and that prestige does NOT leave the group if the character leaves or is deleted.

To be fair, many powersets have shortcomings intentionally built in.
Also, there are a number of enemies that can devastate a number of builds (dark ring mistresses, sappers, etc).

Yes..... I seem to recall one of the columnists in the NY Times Sunday paper had a column where he talked about language. He envisioned an enforcement agency to deal with redundancy in speech. He called it the Squad Squad. It might have been William Safire.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.
I started running task forces around lunchtime on Friday and managed 12 of them before 2XP was over. This isn't counting the DFB's to get into Posi range.

And that's the point where the post ventures into TMI territory.


I am reminded of the Mary Tyler Moore show where Lou Grant has to have surgery to remove a piece of shrapnel lodged in his butt since WW2. When Ted Baxter says he heard Lou was injured in France and asks where he was hit, Lou replies, "The south."

Question: If it's a 'onesie', isn't it, by definition, one piece?
