  1. Hey Everyone - nothing to speculate about here. All of our Devs are hunkered down working towards stiff deadlines, so please be aware and sensitive to that.

    Thanks,
  2. In every walk of life you'll encounter people who fail to perform to your expectations. The best way of dealing with this, if it reaches the point where you find yourself completely distracted from what you were attempting, is to give detailed feedback to those who have the ability to make positive changes. You'd be surprised at how much people who do any form of customer service actually care about their customers (except forum mods, those guys suck).

    I've had good experiences with GM's, and not so good experience. In this and many other games. In CoH I'm able to give incredibly precise directions because I'm much more familiar with our current live bugs and our internal lingo than the vast majority of players. I've even directed gm's to note that their incident report should be sent to a specific developer for bug fix. Most get it, just like in everything else though some don't and I make sure to mention that in my feedback survey.
  3. Another good person to talk to would be the user Leandro, as I believe he has some experience with playing from Argentina.

    Welcome to the community!
  4. Different people find different things fun. Even the same people find different things fun.

    Sometimes I want to IO a character out and squeeze out every last spec of performance from them. Sometimes I want to play them to 50 without any IO's and just enjoy them the way they are. Sometimes I just want to laugh at their costume and name, and could care less about what level they are or even what abilities they have.

    I get a lot of flack because I love fly, and some people don't like that power very much. Honestly it doesn't bother me.

    On a message forum, even if you are very specific in what you request you will get a number of answers that aren't relevant to you. Try not to take offense to them.

    I am a member of both channels on Mod08. I have no issue with how either channel is moderated. Pick which one you like (or both if that is your pleasure). Just don't use personal insults here.
  6. This thread is non productive, and as such is locked. However, for those of you concerned with issues such as these (including the original poster) I heartily recommend you pm me privately so we can have a discussion about some of the points you raise.

    5. Non-Constructive posts are prohibited.

    Below is a non-exhaustive list of examples of non-constructive posts. As a rule, non-constructive posting is not permitted:
    • Spam - this is considered to be repetitive posting of the same topic or text or nonsensical posts that have no substance and are often designed to annoy other forum users.
    • Bumping posts in order to keep them near the top of the list is also prohibited. Likewise, the use of "/signed" posts are discouraged in that it doesn’t engender constructive discussion.
    • Do not create threads/posts to “petition” or “lobby” for game features, additions, changes, or other issues. You may post suggestions and/or ideas to the boards, but you may not create a ‘petition’ for others to sign. This is bumping in disguise and will not be allowed. Lobbying is continually bringing up the same topic repeatedly in numerous different threads or as an off-topic post in official threads to get developer attention. This form of posting is not permitted.
    • Pyramid quoting - this is a response to a forum thread which contains the quotes of four or more previous posters, sometimes with additional spaces added unnecessarily.
    • Cross posting - As a courtesy to others before beginning a new thread, please look to see if an active thread on that topic has already been established using the Search feature. If so, place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forum needlessly and many good ideas may be lost. Use the Search link to keep discussions about one topic to one thread only.
    • Negative feedback can be very useful, provided that it is presented in a civil, factual manner. Tell us what you don't like and why and how you feel it could be improved. Posts that are insulting and rude may be deleted, no matter how valid the ideas behind them may be.
    • A rant is a post which is long-winded, redundant and filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.
    • "NERF X!" threads are removed for much the same reason as "I'm leaving" threads. They can turn into threads with little or no constructive information.
    • Thread necromancy - Necro-posting is responding to an old discussion thread and is a form of thread ‘bumping’. If you wish to discuss a considerably older topic, create a new post and link to the older discussion.
    • False obituary threads are considered highly improper, and knowingly posting false news of a player’s real-life death may result in a ban of both your forum account and your game account.
    • Threads that make threats or use other combative language are not allowed. If you ask a question on the board, be aware that questions on our boards are most commonly answered by the community. Demands for answers from NCsoft are not permitted, however we may often address some questions and concerns with an official topic. In the event of legitimate emergencies, or other unprecedented scenarios, we will endeavor to provide comments, even if it is only to state that there is no officially available information.
    Thanks,
  7. Redside someone has been playing this game for about a month now fairly consistently. I assume they are making good profit off buy it nao'ers like me. Demonic blood samples were the first that I noticed (let's just say it made getting field crafter a bit more expensive). Lately I haven't seen it as much but I've settled more deeply into my comfortable niches so I might be missing where they are moving.

    Dear Mr. Ocho...

    Cute.

    No I occasionally read the boards on the weekend to avoid getting any hope... it's the long fall that gets you.

    That being said, I actually enjoy the forums and some of the more colorful personalities. It doesn't stop me from doing my job, since rules are rules and need to be followed, but I do occasionally smile as I have to delete someone's post.

    Be good and do good works,
  9. I'd just like to let it be known that it would be very easy to construe any post that is a reply with just lolrp as trolling similarly to replying to a post with just the phrase /jranger.

    Lets cut this behavior out, if that is the summary of your feelings about role play you don't have anything constructive to offer the thread (see Rule #5)

    Dear Devs,

    This one has been covered recently. Give it some more time.

    the other question is would a corrupter be the redside equivalent?
    Accelerate Metabolism stacked 8 times renders all problems obsolete. + damage + rech + end.

    If you can hit, you can kill.
  12. Just to confirm, Dr. Aeon did play through all the arcs, and did not leave individual feedback on each arc (or a rating necessarily).We want to have more of these types of challenges, increasing the amount of work for each challenge is counter productive to that strategy.

    I sympathize with those who have doubts and frustrations, but making sure all entries are judged fairly is very important to us and we wouldn't skip arcs that have been entered.

    Can this really happen? Or does every name that get's removed for being offensive get put on a Master block list? I should think if that hasn't been done already, the engineers should really work on a GM tool for it. Seems like it could end up saving a lot of time and prevent a lot of GM So n So yanks a name but a year later GM what and who thinks it's fine.
    Don't believe everything you hear. Apocryphal stories are Apocryphal.
  14. My advice to all those trying to evade the naming policy and "get away with something" is don't.

    The gm's deal with this every day. You may have come up with something new, but after 7 years it or something similar has probably already been attempted. Just follow the rules.
  15. Forum PvP doesn't give drops. Just so all of you who participated in this thread are aware.

    So, about a new and separate forum for GR now that we have a dozen active GR threads....?
    We'll wait for new forums till we have a bit more information.

    We definitely considered the effects on the PvP community when we talked about doing this. Enjoy and use it to the fullest.

    The transfer tool was down in order to make this possible. This is in fact a Holiday gift from us to you all. Enjoy!

    Oh wait, the Devs are giving us Holiday Gifts?!?!?! DoooOOOOoooOOOooom!

    You've got that backwards. Marketing loves villains. We're not self loathing!

    Creepy.

    As to the question, the answer is (of course) soon.

  22. So I thought about going through this thread, deleting everything that was a violation of rules #2 and #5 (Trolling and Personal Attacks, and Non-Constructive Posting respectively), but decided instead to just lock it (mostly because I don't want to be forced to give anyone a time out today).

    Sucks that the event didn't go off, hopefully people can take lessons from how this turned out.

    Let's not all do this again, it wasn't much fun this time no matter what Ashcraft says.
  23. Welcome back to the game. Not much further to be gained here, since this is still a hot button topic for people on both sides, but power-leveling is not inherently an exploit.
  24. I'd personally like to see more functionality added to bases. That being said, there is a fair amount of functionality already there.

    This Marklar is not marklar. You need to include more marklar, or marklar will marklar it to me.
