    I'd love to see some binds or maybe some xpadder profiles. Maybe I'll make one.
    Then it would be AWESOME thread necromancy. Like a zombie thread that could fly and shoot eye lasers.
  2. So this is where my Elec/Invuln is atm.
    Lightning clap and Unstoppable are completely ditchable (it's a word) and changing my epic is also on the table.

    I'm basically looking for some streamlining. This build need to be survivable and deal lots of damage.

    So far, with my free points, and my 15 bucks a month (as in, my normal subscription fee) I've been able to buy everything i want out of the market.

    While farmers may help bring in supply to the in game market, they aren't the only driving force, and AE farming actually takes AWAY from the in game market, due to not providing any 'normal' salvage drops. You CANNOT get reliable uncommon salvage drops from tickets, and your not getting a lot of the 'junk' recipes from tickets either. AE was never meant for farming.

    Itrials on the other hand, provide both inf, normal salvage, normal recipes, and a means to progress your character, which AE doesn't provide.

    Oh, the lastly, downtime is required for a stable game environment. Obviously you were here for the beginning, where we had downtime almost DAILY, if you got more then 2 hours playtime over the weekend that wasn't flooded with lag, you were lucky. The game changes, things improve, and all of it requires taking the servers down. Get over it.
    If you have to put ANY money down to receive it then it's not free.

    You know and to add to this. Beam Rifle costs 800 points. Two times the 'free' points. You HAVE to buy something you would have gotten 'free' in ANY OTHER ISSUE EVER if you want to use it.

    People get upset when their expectations aren't met."

    If the server migration / hardware upgrade had been announced, say a week, in advance - and the majority of players knew about it - then there would be far less complaining.

    Those that would be complaining, would be the ones who were still expecting the servers to be up.
    Precisely.

    Well Paragon better get him his points quick before he gets caught in an infinite compensation loop and bankrupts Paragon. They're making those points out of real money, right?

    I'm not ranting. That you can label it such means that you simply aren't able to look at what I've said objectively.

    If it doesn't make any sense to you, again, it means you're not looking at it objectively.

    That you think what I've said here constitutes abuse reinforces it.

    I'd suggest taking a few nice, deep breaths, and coming back to this in a week or two. Then see how offensive it looks to you.

    Right now I have no further desire to attempt debate with someone who's hell-bent on ignoring anything I actually say in a frothing attempt to label me as "the bad guy" here.
    All I got out of this was 'cause I said so' and honestly I think you are.

    Also I don't think YOU understand what you've been saying or how it comes across not the other way around.

    I'm aware of that and I don't expect some form of compensation but from a customer service perspective, it sure would be nice for them to do so.

    At the end of the day, it depends on how each player feels about service that they are paying for. If they feel they aren't getting what they want or the treatment they deserve they will vote with their money.
    Brandishing the EULA in their face is simply counterproductive. People may grudgingly accept it but they may not be happy about how its handled.
    I'm sorry but you're evil and the EULA is the one true law. All hail it.
    That was sarcasm, just to be extra clear.

    No metaphor or analogy there.
    Bummer I gave you to much credit. I was impressed too.

    So, you're just going to continue on in this vein I'm assuming? With the increasingly weak sarcastic pseudo self mockery thing?

    And the whole "complain to make them give us something to go away" mentality is, for me at least, offensive.

    If PARAGON, however, feels THEY need to make recompense, fine.
    So explain to me, apart from having nothing to complain about atm, how this would hurt you? Be offended. Please. You don't make any sense and you're ranting is pointless bordering on abusive and doesn't fix anything not to mention, again, it would literally do NOTHING to you to try to make some of these people feel less tread on.

    So now there's no way to get the lawn mower IN the shed without some sort of ramp system or a very very sturdy piece of plywood.

    But there's also termites.

    Know what I'm saying?

    4. Profit.

    You messed up somewhere around step 3 where, instead of responding to people with verbose rants full of off the wall analogies and metaphors that really don't mean anything, you just started with the "blah blah blah" nonsense. That's like admitting troll-defeat.

    Keep training, kid, and one day you might make Nationals.
    Ah, I get it, I admitted no such thing I just stopped responding to those two who I personally felt had nothing to contribute, period. Then I went and watched Thor. Did you see it? It seemed kind of rushed and lackluster. And I maintain my analogies make perfect sense. 'Picked apart' or not.

    As a side note getting off on people feeling cheated is disgusting. Seriously.

    Implementing Carp Melee and Carp Armor would be acceptable.

    i know. Aside from not having a Great Glass Elevator i'm rather comfortable with that.
