The 5th Column are not Nazis.

They also said to ignore both the man behind the curtain and that dude Heston, who is spouting nonsense.

Inbetween the occasional team-up missions you could also have redside-focused arcs where you work with the Red Caps and Tuatha to spread mayhem. It wouldn't be the same sort of "everyone just works together and does good stuff okay" type of co-op stuff that we've been getting. You'd have heroic, villainous, and co-operative missions all in one area.

Though we're getting off topic.

In the end the answer may be that we can't accommodate other options, but we would be remiss in not exploring them.

If we decided to introduce any new account service, it would be something which would be announced well in advance and would go through a lot of internal testing.

When it comes to account services we want to deliver the best possible service we can to our community, and as such your feedback and requests, specifically in this thread, are been forwarded along to the ops team.

And now for something completely different...

I've spoken to production regarding the Global Channel collisions, and I do have an answer for you all, however it's not one that the Community Team feels best represents the interests of the players. We're working with production on potential solutions and will come to you once we have that information.

Thanks all for the continued dialog.

My understanding is that she has been arraigned on felony charges.

People think they can behave like wild animals and do whatever they want these days. While I did make a joke regarding what armor and melee-sets the BK-berserker was sporting, really.... our society is headed for some scary places.

I'm sure many of us have heard the topic phrase, "It's the journey, not the destination." It's used most often in opposition to folks who seek levels over playing the content within those levels. The considerable consternation over Issue 20 (and Issue 19) has me wondering:

Do you subscribe to the belief that the game should be about the journey, not the destination?

To answer for myself. I enjoy the chase of something in many ways more than the acquisition. I love filling out a character's IO build. I've done it three or four times with my BS/Regen. At times I've just plain erased millions of inf in enhancers just to start over. I actually get more bored with a character when I successfully complete that character's build. By the same token, I greatly look forward to Issue 20's trials and beyond. Since I'm not particularly concerned about actually getting the powers in any given time frame, I have no concern about how difficult they are to achieve.

I don't care about shard -> thread conversion rates, don't mind random reward tables, and don't mind inf costs. For me, the goal is the chase not the end. The journey not the destination. I'll be honest in saying that I've felt almost alone in that belief over the last few weeks. It seems that everyone is hyper-focused on the new powers and angry that they will be forced to grind the trials over and over. That concept that you will be forced to do something that you find distasteful is so strange to me. Most of these Incarnate powers didn't exist except in the devs design meetings a year ago. We've all gotten along just fine without them this long. I understand and agree that progressing your character is a legitimate goal in a MMORPG. Of course it is. But what's the rush?

Isn't it about the journey? What do you think?
