1) That's been adressed by a Dev, I'll dig up the post after this. The idea was that A) Inspirations were immaterial, and that Heroes and Vilains don't often inspire each other and B) there will eventually be Hero- and Villain-only inspirations, which will be unbalanced if used by the opposite side.

[/ QUOTE ]

A) That's ridiculous, no matter what a red name says and B) If there are faction specific inspirations coming, they can make them untradeable, making the balancing issue moot.

2) There's a suggestion relating to this in the first few pages of the Suggestions and Ideas forum (Enemy List or something like that).

Just as this post belongs in the Suggestion forums.

No, no... she's tired and shagged out following a prolonged sqwauk!

Good lord that one is almost as bad...

Of course I did use this one on my wife on our first date (my best friend at the time dared me... I couldn't resist...)

Is your father a thief? Because he stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes!

Needless to say... I've been married to the woman for the last 10 years

Interesting typo

Even more interesting is what he asks right after that...

"Do you have any raisins? How about a date?"

Damn that is a corny line...

I was saddened to hear this was in Austin.
I was extra sad to hear of a similar location in New York, just a state away, but this location didn't have plans for a similar event.
Ah, well...

One thing at a time....

Chicago next! I wanna go...

If I lived near Austin I'd totally go and pretend I was someone else. Like Anti-Catwhoorg or LiquidX or something, (maybe that Puffyshirt guy I hear mentioned every once in a while).

How would anyone else know the difference? I'm tempted to go just to sew confusion and mayhem! Bwaahahahaaha!

Funny, I was thinking I'd go and pretend to be Craban or Friggin_Taser.

Wow... this may be an event worth attending! :P

You could always tell em you're Troy Hickman

Its not quite like that, Moon. In a real RPG, you're playing a role. You're basically acting. You're limited by your imagination and by what the character you're playing can conceptually do. Online RPGs, like any other computer RPG, single-player or not, are forced to limit your actions to what their game engine can support.

[/ QUOTE ]

But what is an RPG but a set of rules that you role play within? In this case, and because of technology, you are just more limited in what you can do. It is still possible to role play in this setting. A PnP just allows for more flexibility due to it's free roaming nature.

Online RPGs could more closely be represented as "limited RPGs", but they still are, in effect, RPGs.

I've been playing COH for a year now and reading the boards but haven't made too many posts. I'm wondering what people think of the MMO's if you look at them from the perspective of a popular culture phenomenon. I see a return in many ways to D&D type scenarios with COH/COV, in that people can communicate with one another. Unlike the console based RPG's like Final Fantasy, Zelda, etc on Nintendo, Playstation, and XBOx (the non-online versions). Is this a good thing or does it mean that the genre has been co-opted by mainstream tourists? What do you think?

[/ QUOTE ]

As some one that still role-plays regularly* I frequently see the Role-Play tag added to games but have yet to see anything that truely deserves the title.

The software developers have co-opted the title but now use it to mean something different.


* two, three times a year, thats regular. Right?

[/ QUOTE ]

I disagree. It's means the exact same thing as the rule books for those various "RPG" games everyone knows. D&D, GURPS, Shadowrun... they are all sets of rules that you can role play an adventure within, but you don't have too.

You as the player can decide for yourself whether you want to be a fighter fighting an orc saying" Taste my steel foul creature of darkness!" while seated around a table with your gaming buddies, or you can be in the same situation and say "I'm gonna fight that orc, what dice should I roll?"

Online RPG's work in the same way. Are you going to run up to a MOB and furiously mashing keys while making your avatar scream "Have at thee!" or are you going to be in group chat talking about the movie you saw last night?

There is not much of a diference. No, these games ARE RPG's, people just choose not to play them as such.

Don't blame the game... blame the players.

I don't. If they don't understand why I play an MMO, they never will. I don't bother wasting my time trying to win them over.

I am trying to find a bind that allows me to summon all my pets with only one button, is there such a thing? Thanks to all for any help in this

[/ QUOTE ]

I asked the same question elsewhere as was told no.

Besides... with MM minions you get a target so you can place them... having a combined summon function for them all would require a combined placing target as well.

This guide is GREAT!

I just loaded in the txt file version of this and it's working beautifully.

I do have a question that's kinda related...

I'm trying to make a macro for summoning, and I'm wondering... is there a command that will let you activate one power, then pause, then activate another power? I know how to get the powers to work, but I don't know the "pause" command if there is one. Can anyone help with this?

Judging by the siuations in this thread, it sounds to me like there are a bunch of stores, or in some cases, store chains, that are not following the launch instructions for this game, or misunderstood them.

Whatever the scenario is, NCSoft hasn't done anything wrong here. They offer the Beta access to preorders, allow those preorders early access, and launched the game a few days later.

IN THIS CASE, stop blaming NCSoft for this mess. Put the blame on the people who deserve it this time.
