Quote:I'm not sure how you find someone leaving 15 people to run the only game that is making the company money and taking everyone else to work on a game for a company that just sued them more believable then funding getting cut and having the head of the company scramble around to make any deal he could to keep his people employeed, even if that meant making a deal with a company that just sued him.Originally Posted by Durakken
And that's why he has done it twice more? I'd be willing to believe you if that wasn't the case but it is so what you're saying is not believable.
Also I think you are projecting the idea of moving people from one project to the next on him. If you go look at their forums they have the same yellow names there they always have. You do not see the yellow names from one game posting on the next game's forums. The devs are not interchangeable, and have been the same devs the entire time. The only people I see that are interchangeable are the community team.
Unless you are talking about QA people. I guess taking the majority of QA personal and having them focus on the new product in development over having them focus on the product that was already tested and is live could be considered dirtbaggery. -
Quote:At least I actually know the history I am talking about. The downgrade in devs was not because of shifting MUO, it was the other way around. CoV came out and barely added any subscribers (we all know this) so NCsoft cut the funding. Jack now had all these people who were working for him who he did not have any money for. The MUO deal happened BECAUSE NCsoft cut them and Jack didn't want to lay people off.Originally Posted by Durakken
Revisionist history much...
Cryptic's dev team was shifted from CoH to MUO. NCsoft had nothing to do with the dev team being reduced. NCsoft viewed this as a bad business, having 2 games that are in direct competition, which it was so NCsoft bought out Cryptic.
Once NCsoft bought out Cryptic they started hiring new people.
And yes, taking on MUO and moving all the dev resources to that game WAS Jack's call. The same way when CO was done they moved all resources to STO and now that STO is done they moved all the dev resources to the new title.
Jack is not the enemy here. Economy is. -
Jack is 100% correct in what he is saying. I think everyone who is dissenting is forgetting that after CoV we were knocked down to 15 devs. That wasn't Jack doing it, that was NCsoft saying "you don't make enough for us to pay you" and cut the funding.
CoH did not do well enough and it suffered for it. The whole point he is saying is that adding things does not do bring players in, and it has been proven by having their team being cut after they came out with an entire expansion.
Adding stuff makes the players who are already there happier, but it does not guarantee that more people will show up.
CoH survived in spite of NCsoft and probably due entirely to the tenacity of Jack and the other 15 devs. -
Poor Freedom. I have been to all the official events held on the west coast and nobody from freedom is ever there. It makes me sad
I usually hang out with Marcian in the back of the crowds and talk about how much cooler we are then everyone else who is there. -
You know I think I know what it is. I got my roommate to try out CoH for going rogue. He is a big wow player so I figured i'd show him a good game.
I figured he wouldn't be able to quit cold turkey so to help him along I made an orc to roll with him. *sigh* I shouldn't have done that. -
Whoa, I just tried virtue (ick) because it is yellow also, and I got the same error. Thats not good.

I'm tripping balls here.
I just created a new praetorian I skipped the tutorial, and then killed a guy to test out my new dual blades, and then I lost connect to mapserver.
I'm thinking "hey this is great, I can not exit witout waitin 30 seconds" when I try and log in I get lag, then that very error that is in the thread title.
Anyone else hit with this ... I'm a sad J-Man

*sigh*

I want the one handed rock chuck for hurl with shields to be a part of the animation choices.
That is call, carry on. -

You're really kind to help with this, J.
I feel you should probably talk to your therapist though, she will have pills for that. -
In RF 2010 we have a committee that is elected to deal with drama like this.
They are known as the Dramatical Elect, and we have 1 representative for every 15 players.
It is up to the assortment of 15 players to elect their Dramatical representative. The Dramatical Elect positions are on rotating 3 month terms. This means that everytime they earn a new veteran reward their position is up for reelection. We feel this will ensure the highest form in integrity.
Every Wednesday we hold meetings with the Drama leads to discuss the various drama issues that have arrived within that week. All issues are voted on and resolutions are passed with a 4/5 majority vote.
I am letting you know this because it is our secret as to how we run such a successful global channel. I feel that all global channels should form this sort of governing body. If you have any questions please post in this thread and I will assist you in forming your own Dramatical Election. -
This is why I subscribe to RF 2010.

Quote:Hey don't knock provoke. Its a PBAOE taunt and there is nothing wrong with that. I actually exclusively used provoke until they made taunt an auto hit. I actually some times miss the provoke animation because it is so much more manly and cool then tauntsOriginally Posted by newchemicals
Usually its "taunt" that brutes sometimes take not "provoke".

Their EULA/Terms of Service forbid players from revealing their login information, in whole or in part.
With the switch over to Battle.net accounts for login, your login is the email address connected to the account.
To connect to someone using RealID, you must give them the email address connected to the account.
Therefore, using RealID is a violation of the Terms of Service.
I checked the www.pipl.com and its kinda funny that you could find more information about me by searching legendaryjman then you can by searching my real name. -

I say NO because any toon can be a farmer it just has to be built right.
Everyone knows that fire/kins are the best farmers out there, anything else is inferior. Sure you COULD build other ATs to farm, but you also COULD kill using a slingshot to kill a man over a tommygun.
Its almost funny to me how wrong you are. -
I am very sad there will not be a hero con.
but I have always needed an excuse to go to the San Diego Comic Con -
They probably failed.
Everyone knows Team Group Fly can't win without its captain! -
BWA HA HAHA
That is some screwed up stuff. I will say Rona is still your strongest series. I would love to see Johnny one day. Though he probably can't live up to the hype of what he has been doing. I imagine him like a Pilot from Farscape.
I don't think you got many characters left to kill. Little does miss kitty kat assassin know, Kinetic Kitten LIKES dying. -
Ah, an origin story.
My criticism for you is that all of your characters talk like "gangstas" I recommend switching it up, not EVERYONE is a thug in your universe? right? ....
I do like how your origin story completely glossed over how a catgurl got super strength and ended up in paragon city
Thats funny to me. -
Wait ... you just kilt her.
I haven't read it yet, but I am curious. -
Update the second.
I got a response to my petition. The GM told me to start the game up in Safe Mode. I did that and i was able to shut down my contacts window.
Now I just gotta figure out why my game freezes when I open my contacts window. -
Ok as an update. I had a split second on my second character who was stuck in Indy port before the game froze and I used that to close the contact window. I can play for now I will have to test it on my other character.
-
I looked but I did not see anyone having this particular issue.
So far on two of my characters when I open the contact window the completely freezes. I can't even control + alt + delete. I have to turn my PC off to be able to get anything done.
Unfortunately these two characters that I did it with are now stuck because as soon as I load them on they freeze because the contact window is open.
My first character is stuck in grandville and I sent petition to a GM to move him because I thought it was some grandville lag bug. I did not realize it was a contact window until my second character who is a hero opened her contact window and completely froze the game.
I just re-verified my files and I am going to try to load them up again. Has anyone seen this issue before? Anyone know how to get around it? -
