If you're going to do a vanity search, make it epic. Maybe you'll see yourself. Maybe someone you vaguely remember. Just keep in mind that I rule all. After all, you said so.
Furthermore, I fart in your general direction.
Shockingly, I'm not on your list of supporters.

Lecture someone abiut being inflammatory and how you dont like them but turn around, out of the blue, and do the same? If those are your standards there, I'm glad I dotn have your standards you can keep them.

I use Avast and just tried. Avast is blocking it also as a malware threat.

Quote:I don't think people are talking about the code, i.e. the 'engine'. They're talking about the intellectual property.Originally Posted by GadgetDon
So let's assume in 10 years someone gets the smart idea of saying "hey, let's try that superhero thing again that we totally failed to sell in our main market" and aren't shouted down. CoH was already an old code base now, 10 years from now it'll be ancient, like playing Adventure on an Atari 2600 - and that's assuming we'll still be gaming on desktops and laptops running a version of Windows.

Quote:All nonsense. Businesses have contractual obligations. Anything beyond that, additional things YOU think they should do, are optional.Originally Posted by TimTheEnchanter
Dumbest phrase ever created by humans, done for no other reason than to trick society into believing that being a business somehow mystically ascends you to a god-like status and makes you accountable to nobody. Everyone is just accustomed to it being that way. Doesn't make it right. It's a kind of free-reign that business never should've had.

Quote:You can choose to 'invest' time, money, etc in anything you want. That doesn't change the nature of whatever you're 'investing' in. It's still a monthly paid service, just like your cable TV or phone. No actions or decisions on your part change that.Originally Posted by TimTheEnchanter
One invests time, money, whatever, into many things, and hobbies have been being called investments since long before MMO's existed.

Quote:Right.Originally Posted by TimTheEnchanter
Your saying it's not an investment doesn't make it a non-investment.
The FACTS take care of that. -

What does this mean for us?
Really? Oh, wait, you said the LAST time. The most memorable time was when we were warned about the jerkhackers duping rares and that the game would shortly be gone to the Americans.Quote:Originally Posted by shadow35
The last time we had some weirdo with strange, only partially-comprehensible speech pretending to have insider information, it was MishiLoveWhomever and she was spreading complete b.s. about this and that continuing on....

Quote:Actually, age doesn't have any bearing on it. One of my favorite songs is 'Last Kiss' by J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers, which was released before I was born. I have very eclectic tastes in music.Originally Posted by GATE-keeper

Quote:Nonsense. Your saying it's an 'investment' doesn't make it one. It's a game. It's a monthly service. You CHOSE to play a game rather than going out and buying that car.Originally Posted by TimTheEnchanter
Sorry, no. Monthly fees for a service IS an investment. One could go out an buy themselves a fricking CAR for less money than some monthly gaming fees would cost them for the amount of time CoH has been running.

1. Looking back, considering everything, which was your favorite archetype in the game?
Hard to say. I had absolute swarms of both tanks and controllers. I guess tanks. Feeling 'not squishy' was always nice.
2. In possible contrast, when it comes to your favorite character, what kind was it? List AT and the two main sets.
Ironblade is a broadsword/regen scrapper. I picked that combo when I started the game as I thought it would be decent in combat and keep me alive while learning the game. I was not disappointed and he became my main character.
3. What AT did you evolve to enjoy over the years that you disliked initially?
err.. none? I never really liked masterminds and still don't. -
Quote:Don't do business with them. But if they don't even notice the loss of business, that means the majority of their customers aren't aligned with YOUR principles.Originally Posted by TimTheEnchanter
It sounds wonderful in theory, but seriously, what's the alternative?
How to you entice an ethical change in an entity that exists under the principle of maximizing profit by any legal means necessary? -
Quote:There is power on both sides. It's called 'voting with your wallet'. If you think that $15 a month gives you more rights than that, you're delusional. And "long-term investment"??? This is a GAME, not a bank. You weren't investing. You were paying a monthly fee for a service, just like your phone or cable TV.Originally Posted by TimTheEnchanter
But yes, there should be the power of give & take on both sides of the customer/business relationship, particularly when it comes to long-term investment.
Your position here is inherently ridiculous. Individual and company rights are quite broad and encompassing in regard to PROPERTY. NCSoft owns the game. Not even going to quibble (much) about your reference to "suddenly discontinue" when we got THREE MONTHS notice.Quote:Nobody should be allowed to suddenly discontinue a service such as this anymore than they have the right to nuke a city (that was still in the black, no less) on a "whim." -
Quote:That would be the Lady Grey TF.Originally Posted by Sin_Stalker
I think that is because some of the few online completed a specific TF/SF/Trial that triggered it.
You could get one started, then stand by to run to the zone that gets hit.

Quote:That's good. Because that a completely stupid comparison. People have formed their opinion of NCSoft based on what the company did to people. Now, if that woman in the short skirt walked up to me and punched me in the nose, yeah, then she would deserve to be assaulted. Except it would be called self-defense.Originally Posted by Evil_Legacy
So why is NCSoft the devil? And not other buisnesses? I dont see this as a person to person victim comparision. More of a buisness decision where there are no victims. So why is NCSoft the devil and anyone who doesnt say that NCSoft is the devil basicallly is saying that someone with a short skirt deserved what came to them? I dont think it's black and white like that.

Quote:Everyone has their own opinion on the matter. Some people think it's a great idea; others think it's terrible. Both groups are likely, in my opinion, to not be greatly concerned what other people think about them.Originally Posted by MajorPrankster
Which is, IMO, immature, vindictive and ultimately unwarranted.
Yes, that viewpoint makes me unpopular around these parts, so full of nerd-rage and irrational hyperbole, oh well, I'll live.
Goodness. What an immature and unwarranted thing to say.Quote:To me the 'true colors' of this 'community' have shown through like a beacon now.
You're tarring the entire community because a small number propose an action of which YOU PERSONALLY disapprove. Yeah, immature fits the bill there. -
Next up is the Imperious Task Force. Please remember the following:
1) This is a co-op TF so any alignment can join.
2) You must have access to the Midnighter Club to get to Cimerora.
NOTE - You no longer need to do a mission arc to get Midnighter Access. You can just go to Night Ward and walk into the Midnight Mansion.
Collecting the House Hunter exploration badge will also give you the badge to enter the Midnighter Club.

Quote:I'm pretty sure they have to originate in the same spawn. Creatures originating in one spawn are 'linked' to each other in their behavior. For example, if you have two Sky Raider Engineers in a spawn, only one will drop a FF Generator. Same goes for DE Sentries and Cairns.Originally Posted by Ironik
I thought I'd do the "Destroy the Titan Center" mission, so I was practicing on them in the wild and I can't get them to combine. I thought it was something along the lines of getting two of them in proximity down to half- or quarter-health and then they'll will combine, but I can't seem to manage it.
Can someone remind me what the trick is? -

Note to Angelica: this weekend the rest of us go back to standard time, which means we will be starting an hour later than normal for you (since you're in AZ which hasn't invented daylight savings time yet.)

Okay, now we're safe to do the Numina TF. I was on a Numina the other day that ended up taking 2-1/2 hours due to the Halloween event. TWICE, we had zone hunts stopped by back-to-back Zombie/Banner events. When I say 'back to back', I mean:
Zombies have disappeared from Brickstown.
Supernatural activity detected in Brickstown.
NOOOOO!!!!!!!
