  1. Dear City of whatever,

    please publish as many times as you see fit whenever you find huge problems that need addressing, I am patient, I have a better understanding of these things and I'm expecting things to go haywire especially with all of the big changes being made and new powersets being introduced. That's just how things are going to work. One minute things are fine the next you get all kinds of bug reports with all kinds of not-so-easy-to-fix things that nobody could have possibly foreseen...

    but anyway I'm in the minority here so eh...
  2. I plan to win not for the gametime but rather I would like the most messed up haircut in the history of...
  3. I guess I should warn you I found the keys to the bulldozer.

    be prepared for things to get locked up, locked down and locked out. Thats the price that's paid when you convert to a "buisness model"

    There's gonna be alot of butthurt going on when things that were previously footloose and fancy free now show up with a price tag.

    That's buisness. Thats to be expected. they will chop it up and sell it in little bitty pieces if it would generate that money honey. Might as well embrace this change because there is no going back now. That was part of that whole "in order to get good things" deal. You have to be prepared to make some sacrifices.

    my advice: stay focused on the payoff. Keep sub'd and wait for the team to get enough money to work on bases.


    Full steam ahead!

    If not, then I refute your assertion that there's any difference between "gaming the system" and "pissing your potential subscriber base off." There's no daylight between the two. It comes down to whether the devs feel the restriction is reasonable, because all restrictions reasonable or otherwise will piss off someone somewhere.

    Other than that, I would otherwise tend to agree that being able to pay base rent is a perfect candidate for a Paragon Rewards tier reward. Something not too severe: tier 3 or 4 perhaps.
    also consider this: When the team does get around to revamping bases, it will make it all the more desirable for freebies to go vip. That can only lead to bigger better improvements.

    Think of it more like "I'm staying sub'd because I want to see improvements made to the game...including bases"

    Which, y'know, is really quite bad actually.
    Surprised?

    I'm being screwed. This is a slap in the face. This is not the way to retain me as a customer. Other people became VIP through much less effort. The devs don't listen. Don't pee your yellow name down my back and tell me its raining. This should have been included in Going Rogue. This is just a naked attempt to squeeze more money out of me. Other MMOs would have made me a VIP by now. The community team should be ashamed. I deserve a refund. This is like buying a sink and then one day the sink needs a new drain stopper because the peel from the banana split you ate yesterday got stuck in the screen but now your cable company wants to charge you for ESPN 3 and you won't be able to watch Jamaican hockey because you spent all your money on a new drain stopper and its all Home Depot's fault.
    There is a spot reserved for you in the Twisted Burrow.

    You earned it.

    sorry nc, I can't defend you if these types of, uh, lets call them "oversights" are continuously made

    some vary from but the effectiveness I have found without posting numbers is the acc/rech in purp sets. even the three count<acc/rech/dam> just to boost...the acc/rech values further. Also woks well in non purp sets. Don't see any point in using them in anything else unless you really have that much money and don't know what to do with it.

    when in beta, i wanted to test this extensively, however; kept running out of paragon points to spend. so the most efficient use was enhancing acc/rech. note: when I say "some vary" I mean not all sets were acc/rech/dam, some were acc/rech/hold.
  11. might want to check both and see if anyone mistakenly was put on ignore.
  12. idea: what about a /basesalvageracks command? something that would allow you access to your salvage racks anywhere anytime? yes I know the /vault allows some access, but not many are going to have that command available <I don't>

    I like the ideas about changing the crafting table cooldown and the 10 feet/duration idea.

    I am insane and childish...

    Actually I don't know whats more "insane and childish"... appreciating what you have -or- receiving big changes in code and expecting things NOT...to...break...

    yeah, I'm insane and childish...

    People <not PPL> loves me for it.

    Base Bugs in I21

    Any eta of a fix to the logos? not that I'm in any rush...


    Edit: I guess minor tweaks just goes to show how schizophrenic the code of the editor really is. handle with care is an understatement. I wish the team had something better to work with.
  17. Last Monday I went out for some job hunting. not that I need a job, I just want a little extra cash for some projects I am working on. I encountered a homeless vet with no legs. As I crossed his palm with silver I knew his image would remain with me for the rest of my life.

    I bet he would love to have my problems. not just mine, I'm sure there's plenty of people he would kill to switch places with. He would love to be able to deal with the "stress" of not being able to temporarily play a video game.

    That day I was reminded of how blessed I really am to have what I do regardless of the so very minor inconveniences I deal with on a daily basis.

    Server downtime is temporary.

    No legs is not.


    All of you Shutup and count your blessings.

    oh yeah. Also if possible revamp the cooldown so I may be more productive in-game.

    can only use the table for 5 minutes? wait an hour? useful heh... but I'm sure I'd get alot more use out of it if I could...use... it... more...

    wow... I sound just...wow...
  19. Oh yes, that mega tsunami that going to hit the east coast? yeah. I wouldn't live there uninsured and without an escape plan.
  20. Tornadoes effectively scare me and you are talking to someone that doesn't scare easily.

    you would think they aren't all that bad until you are in one, or three...

    the bad thing about tornadoes is they are small, compact, seemingly random disasters...that can sneak up on you. this is where location comes into play. if you are in a very flat area, with no trees you could easily spot one on the ground and determine the threat level.

    if you live in a rather suburb type area, with trees crowding the sky, or at the worst a heavily wooded area, then yes, you will be scared. I don't care who you are how bad you think you are, or how sociopathic you may be, tornadoes will terrify you. Its not a matter of discussion it is a simple fact.

    that much moving cloud, that kinetic force, which you can feel, with that much debris, is terrifying. Especially up close.

    in the worst case scenario, a tornado can form, destroy your life, and dissipate in less than 5 minutes...

    I have a very large tree hanging over my bedroom. I don't sleep during storms.

    oh most definitely, in fact I wish the devs would revise the majority of sound effects or at least give the option on which sound effect to use per power. I love most of what every thing I see that has been changed, the thing is, there are some high cost decisions I want to look into, and in order to do that I would need more PPoints. I don't want to get into the game, make a major financial commitment and THEN find some horrible bug that shuts me down and locks me out of said commitment. I haven't seen or heard anyone testing it all the way through and I know better than to assume that someone has. So I'm not sorry if I can't let the subject rest.

    Yeah I love the new bologona slapping sounds, but I'd really like to see some type of Ppoint grant right now.
  22. Could use a points grant. Have much testing to do, already burned through the points that were given <which wasn't much if you know how to -really- test a thing> I'd also like it if the reps were a bit more cooperative in granting such requests without resorting to "go panhandle on the forums" type responses. Don't take my presence lightly. want me to test? Fine. I'll test. Don't want me to test? fine. just say so and I'll quit wasting my time. Spare me theses insults.

    Furious!

    when testing a few role play based things on live in regards to the hide and seek even I was preparing for... we discovered that yes the /ignore spammer feature can be used by alt accts and shut you down.

    go infinity.

    cant wait for sg transfers.
