  1. Oddly, when they were talking about Long John Silvers - I was eating Long John Silvers.

    Nah, it wasn't that - I did it about a dozen times before I ever posted about it. ;-) Looks fixed now, thanks for the reply. Really just posting now in case anyone else has the same problem, so they can see how I fixed it.
  3. Removed that file, ran another consistency check. The program downloaded that file again, try to play, it verifies the files again - and it runs. I had a corrupt PIGG file.

    Problem solved. Yay me.
  4. Verifying files seems to hang at piggs/stage1c.pigg
  5. "We have detected missing or corrupt game files, please run the "Repair" option in NCsoft Launcher to fix this. The game will now exit."

    The Repair option seems to run, but then I just keep getting the same error when trying to play.

    Anyone seen this before? Any advice?
  6. Then I guess its a good thing I leave my Launcher running all the time? :-)

    People truly astonish me sometimes.
    Someone already said what I was going to say. There must be some way I can express this.

    To say the least I got totally POUNCED and FLAMED, maybe even Nuked from orbit.

    So now that this has actually come to pass, where is the outrage. So it is heresy for a guy to suggest something like this, but when it is actually implemented everyone is all alright with it? Where is the hate threads?

    I find it particularly hilarious when people like you go so overboard when describing people disagreeing with you.
  9. I just thought I would have more points than I did .. a little let down, but I guess I'll get over it.
  10. I only have one character that I 'officially' retired. Tiny, on Freedom server. He's a part human, part unknown metahuman clone (yes, I know they did that with Superboy, but Tiny came first :-) )

    He started as a small, childlike, indestructable engine of trouble, who eventually had to grow up and save the world.

    I've been gone from the game for over a year cause at the time it was feeling stale. but this new system looks like it'll breath some fresh life into the game. SO I'll be starting over from scratch on Exalted as a new home.


    Anyone plan on doing the same?
    I'll make 3-4 new characters there, and transferring a few retirees. That's all I plan so far.

    Want.
  13. I wish they could do something like they did at release, when the top character slot we had on the beta was name reserved for us automatically there ... but I think there are too many people and too many characters out there for that to be an option.

    Would be NICE if our names that are in the top slot of a server are reserved for us on the new VIP servers, but it's not going to happen. :-)

    Or pay by the year, like I do. Even LESS :-)

    I'll keep paying them for it until they MAKE me leave.

If you see anyone with a forum reg date of 2004-2006 or thereabout, I can pretty much promise you that nothing you say will change their mind regarding "blind invites."

    I mean, you've been around long enough to have seen most of these threads. Do you honestly feel there was ever anything to be gained by arguing in them?
    I am not "arguing", nor am I trying to change anyone's mind. I was merely Reminding them that while their opinion is perfectly valid, it extends no further than their own game play, and voicing it as some sweeping "unwritten game play Law" was misleading.

    And before I get any more sassy replies or insulting PM's - when I make teams I send tells. I just don't insist that people send me tells. I just want to team with people. I send tells first because a lot of people get in Really Bad Moods if i don't, not because I want or expect them myself.

    Other people have opinions that are not yours. Deal with it.

    Hey, if you don't like my opinion, that's just too darn bad. I'm not saying that your preference is 'wrong, just that it's NOT automatically everyone's default opinion.

    Don't like blind invites? Don't accept them. Just don't make it your life's goal to hunt those people down and ruin their lives for the horrible insult, or anything similar.

    I was just disagreeing with the general notion that ALL players feel that way.

    Some of you people really need to stop acting like you speak for everyone. I've never really cared if an invite was 'blind' or not. Some people just like teaming. I accept invites I get, talk for a minute, then decide if i want to stay or not. Your preferences are NOT automatically everyone else's.

    So tell me, are there any pieces you can't stop using? Perhaps you're even addicted to them?

    Why yes, you might have seen this topic.. About a year and a half ago actually.
    It is the spiritual successor to this one
    Fishnet stockings.

    What can I say? They look great :-)
  20. It would be great if they did something similar to when the game left Beta, and they took the top name from the test server and reserved it for you. They could even reserve the name that is in the top slot of every server, so the "VIP's" could have several names reserved.

    Will they do this? No. But it sure is fun to talk about :-)
  21. Host of Plasmodus - Fire/Kinetic Melee Tank - lvl 41 to lvl 44.

    That's all. I either couldn't get on, or couldn't find a team (and didn't feel like soloing).

    Well, that takes care of MY reply.
  23. The /Vault power can be useful - it can be a real pain shuffling salvage around when I'm trying to craft things. But, combined with /auctionhouse, I have a lot more space to move things around.

    I was wondering if we'll see a 90 month reward before Freedom comes out. :-)

    That was just what I needed. Thanks a Heap. You gain +1 Internets.
  25. Anyone know how to set up macros for /Auctionhouse and /Vault? I tried my Basic Macroing Skills, and it just says "Unknown Command" for each one.

    I tried /macro WW "/auctionhouse" and /macro V "/vault" - no luck with either.
