Global Channels have been around since around Issue 4.

Neither do I. However there's really no need to get into a multi page go around about it yet again. Let it sink, and it's over.

Anyone who has spent more than 5minutes on a costume. If it doesn't look like my limb, what's the point? Think long and hard on that, because even knowing BaB as little as I do, I know that's one of the first things he'd consider and one of the first reasons he'd have for not doing it.

If they can't do it right, they don't like doing it.

Long story short: We voted on powersets once. Stretching/Growing was one of the top choices. They know we want it. That doesn't mean they are going to do it until they can do it in a way that looks right to them.

Ummmm that's the badge/accolade I was talking about.

Carnies spawn at level 21? Since when? Oh, sure IF you have a high level run a farm and do the actual killing for you, then yeah you might be right. However I never look at that as a valid way to claim you can get the badge yourself.

And you've been this section's resident negative nelly lately. Don't sweat it, someone feels the need on a regular basis (hell I was even that guy for a while).

But I've been noticing lately that you've been very quick to disagree and argue no matter what the thread.

If you're really interested in good ideas for the game, arguing over the bad ones doesn't do anything for that. Bad threads float, good threads sink, when people get too hung up on being right.

Short version: Let it go, and focus on making ideas better.

And one of the highest requirement hero accolades (archmage) can be gotten in the mid teens for villains. Your point has no point.

Not really. Sounds like a halfway measure to me.

My thought is, you've lumped several quite common suggestions (and a couple uncommon ones) into one mass and tried to weakly tie it into a system we don't know anything about yet.

There's very little in your post that has anything to do with post50 advancement and a lot to do with revamping and expanding old or backburnered content.

That's pretty much a meaningless distinction, depending on the conversation you're having and when. I've seen the proposal under discussion referred to both ways, even though one is technically more correct.

The problems revolve around one main issue: Two systems in two places.

1) Do you physically move the servers to the US? How?
2) Do you virtually link what are now two Account and Login systems into one? How? (examine what they had to do in the forum merge with Names. Multiply a few hundred names by the thousands on both sides).
3) there are significant hurdles involved in launching a game in another country. Contracts with distributors, local laws, etc. Reversing that and at the same time going through the hurdles involved in authorizing a game to be run in another country while collecting fees from local citizens.

In the end, a merge of this type would quite likely mean the EU servers would have to go down and be inaccessible for days or even weeks while things were ironed out.

As for the OPs argument that the EUs should get this kind of perk because they somehow need it more, I don't buy that. The US is losing active members too, and in the grand scheme, probably more of them. If you define need based on percentages, the EU may win, but on raw numbers I'd wager the US is more "needy"

Even so I oppose this suggestion because I see not only the premise as flawed, but I see the idea proposed as unrealistic in the extreme. I've never ever ever seen a game company give away access to their brand new expansion at or near launch. Sure, WoW has done 10day free Lich King reactivations, but that happened quite a long time after launch.

By all means eventually let people get a taste of new stuff. No way should that happen until it's paid for itself. And a free reactivation happening that doesn't include the new areas, would be even worse. It would just annoy people to feel like they were being shafted.

Just to be absolutely clear:

Issue 17 is not Going Rogue. If you want Demon Summoning when it comes out along with I17, you have to prepurchase GR, because GR comes after I17.

You can also get -rep for passing on accurate info from the devs themselves, because people are dumb.

Just because they both come from the same source, doesn't mean they're part of the same drop pool. Purples have a much lower rate than Pool A, and as far as I know, it's a flat % unrelated to rank.

Very funny. Worth some +rep Would read again.

Correct. No rent until you actually make something inside it.

And I lose my main source of keeping things in one spot to die moar faster without it. I'll vote for more dead things any day. If that happens to mean a few extra Ice trollers get thrown under the bus too, so be it.

Why did you assume they're working on it? I mean, if that's where you saw it, go lookin. Because there's never been a listing of it as a feature.

There's an official thread on this in Archetypes and powers section.
