Well, yes, I'm confused why you found it necessarily to lie. As I linked, in one thread you repeatedly state that you are posting from the viewpoint of a new player. In another thread, you posted that you are a RETURNING player and, furthermore, implied that you had left and returned more than once.

Since those statements are directly contradictory, one of them must be a lie.

That is prohibited. If you get caught, your account will be permanently banned.

It usually does. If it doesn't, the next step is to have EVERYONE log out and back in. I have never seen that fail to fix the issue.

You mean, just like it was before when if you wanted the Wedding pack, Party pack, Mutant pack, Cyborg pack, etc, etc you had to buy them with real money? If you wanted to play a villain when CoV came out, you had to buy it. If you wanted to change alignments when Going Rogue came out, you had to buy it.

So.. um... business as usual, I guess.

I can't stand it when people make stupid comments about post counts. Do you believe that people suddenly become brainless if their count exceeds 1,000? Sure, his comment served no purpose. However, I've seen plenty of pointless posts from people with 500 posts and people with 5,000 posts.

Is that a global name? I could have sworn I saw that name on one of the badge channels last night and thought it seemed familiar.

I knew that. I saw you in Ouroboros last night with Slax.

Wait, where is this from? WHAT people list crafting as a reason to avoid this title or the reason they quit? Where is this from?


Wow, you're really beating that 'new player' drum pretty hard. And yet, in another thread, you said:
Okay, wait, so are you a new player or a returning player? And "Last time I left"? You've left more than once?

Actually, I would say that is demonstrably false. This game is still around after 7 years. Most games don't accomplish that. This game has done better than most games.

Now, we can quibble about what qualifies as doing "well". I think 'more successful than most games' would qualify.

It can. But it could also go towards other stuff. That's not really relevant to this.

Please note, I'm not saying we're not getting good value for our money. I think VIP's will be getting a better deal under the new system than current subscribers. I'm just saying that buying the booster packs in the new store will cost more than in the old store.

They are NOW.
They used to be in three separate locations - East Coast, West Coast and EU (in Germany, I think).

So you want more advance notice when an unexpected problem occurs???


And you want to be able to vote on what day the unexpected emergencies occur???


Yeah.....

The following week will be Silver Mantis; level 20+.

I'm confused. You're creating a post on this subject that doesn't start by nerdraging your agenda? Intriguing.

Anyway, I think the system - as it currently stands - is basically sound. The only place I think it falls short is in the communication allowed to Freeloaders (Sponges? Freepers? Is there an official word?)

I recognize (and agree) that the restrictions have to be a bit draconian to neuter spammers, but I think a key element would be the ability to REPLY to tells from other players. That could do so much to enhance their experience of the game.

I would say yes, because it will make the tank more fun (significantly) and even tougher (slightly).

Having sucky runspeed and recharge, to me, is not fun. My stone/stone has 5 Luck of the Gamber +recharge and 5 Gift of the Ancients +runspeed (plus additional set bonuses for each). And Hasten, of course. As a result, in situations where he doesn't need Granite, he's dashing all over the battlefield laying a serious smackdown due to all that recharge. To support that attack rate, he's got almost +40% recovery (not counting Stamina or the Perf Shifter +END proc).

To make him a little tougher, after getting the stuff above, I also added in about +140% regen. Sure, that's not really a lot but when you have 89% resist to EVERYTHING BUT PSI, a little extra regen goes a long way. That 89% resist is a situation of ridiculous inf expenditure and effort for a small improvement. I have the PvP +resist IO slotted and Cardiac Alpha (end reduction and resistance) at Tier 4.

There's definitely a middle ground here, though. At this point, he's less fun than some of my other tanks since everything is too easy. Still, when I want to show off, or tank a Master run, he's available.

Yes, but not because I think it will be amazing. I've already taken every armor set to 50 (invuln twice), plus a PB and WS played as tanks. I'm dying for a new tank primary.

Why is that sad? Why does it matter what other people have? You have a lot more inf than me, but I don't care. I have more than I need and the quantity keeps increasing. I track it in a spreadsheet so that I know who has room to hold more when one of my inf-generating-toons has too much. Currently sitting at 35.4 billion with no one to spend it on until Issue 21 hits and I make two new toons.

On a side note, the reason for that is that I find IO'ing a character to be rather tedious. I do it ONCE at around level 35. Only 3 of my characters have any purples because it's too much trouble to re-do the build after hitting 50 - unless I expect to keep playing the toon a lot.

Edit: I couldn't tell you how much I have in crafted IO's. When my toons get to around 35, I blow all their merits on random rolls and keep most of the good stuff. I also never sell purples that drop, since I don't need the inf.

Price increase. Positron told us flat-out that, if you actually want all the items in a booster pack, buy it before the store goes away. Buying every item in the pack WILL cost MORE than it did before. There will be no 'package deal' to get everything in the pack.

Now, if you DON'T want every item from a booster pack, yes it will be cheaper in the new store since you can pick and choose.

Sure, but you're not taking it far enough. Just who is the expert in modifying memories? Praetor Tilman. She's the one who is REALLY in charge. Think about it. In the BAF Trial, doesn't she say something along the lines of, "If I'm happy, you know our dear Emperor is happy."

If she saw herself as subordinate to Cole, she would have phrased it the other way around, that if Cole was happy, then she would be happy. But no, her happiness is paramount, even over Cole's. If she's happy, Cole can be happy. But if she's not happy, everyone will suffer.

So, when you said yesterday that the Head Start would be announced today, it was from a perspective where you weren't wrong? Maybe because it's not tomorrow yet? If yesterday's tomorrow is today and ... um ... never mind.

Well, let's look at it this way. The way it actually turned out was bad. Who was responsible for it turning out this way? It's not like Hurricane Irene caused it and it was beyond anyone's control.
