And I'm not saying this to make myself sound important or play the arbiter. I really DO appreciate the sentiment and I'd love to see us honour it.

And I am sure someone will call this post garish and give me bad rep for it...LOL

Also, I edited a lot of my post because the "hyperbole" comment was a bit much.



Was not me!

I posted it there because I wanted to respond and it was in that thread. I'm by far not the first person to post in a thread to say "Someone gave me rep for a two-week old post." After I answer this guy's question five or six times and he keeps re-asking it under the pretense that I was missing his point, I thought it was a bit dumb for someone to lecture me in my rep page about how I never answered his question.

Also, yelling = hyperbole.

I liked one person who accused me of yelling at invisible people (despite rep comments being quite visible) and other people who describe any attempt to respond to statements made in negative rep comments as "whining."

There's one guy, for example, who's had a personal drama blowout because I don't respond to rep in the way he dictates.

This isn't advising anyone to not post or respond to neg-rep, btw. It's just information.

But let me take a stab at your other issues.

Attacks: You are in a vehicle, so no attacks unless you dismount (for lack of a better word)

Defenses: You vehicle should have PFF level protection while travelling.

Other Travel powers: Suppressed while in a vehicle

Strafing: This is actually a cool problem to solve. Imagine what kinds of animations you could cook up for strafing. Motorcycle leans into a turn. Jet banking etc...

Clipping: Come on, dont these games all use collision calculation. You would just be BIGGER in a vehicle. Which means there are places you couldnt go. Motorcycles dont go up small stairwells or jets flying through small underpasses. Might seem like alot of issues, but the issues are not any different than real-world are they ?

Every time these Veteran's Rewards discussions come up, this is the point that is constantly ignored - many people (and the vast majority of those speaking against any change in the program) never had to wait for many of the benefits. They acquired them the day they were added to the game engine, or soon thereafter. They never had to wait a year and a half to get wings, or three years to get shorts. They received the benefits as soon as they were made available in the game, like free issues only for veterans.

"Just wait your turn" completely ignores the fact that most people telling me to wait my turn never had to wait for theirs. They got in on opening day.

And I am just talking about costumes (and base decorations) here. In a game whose biggest draw is customisation - and whose biggest direct competitor is trying to boast on having more customisation - cutting off large swaths of your potential customers from any aspects of that customisation is simply bad business.

Following it up with an expansion that has a lot less content is bound to disappoint people.

MMO kids these days.

What would you have done in the glory days of UO and EverQuest? Even Horizons..

There is however a bug with it last time I checked that messes with availability when exemped
