  1. This is a sad time for a lot of long time fans of this game. While taking a break for a bit, and ready to dive back into this world with brought me several stories over the six years I have played, it to be suddenly shut down and beginning shut down mode, makes me sad.

    That is about the same I have seen in every other game that is F2P or those pesky hybrid based MMOs.

    Damn I am way too far behind already with actually getting into gear to play the trails. Although this does sound fun.

    Unless you're selling those file copies to other people, of course, then you're going to get noticed.
    Yes technically it is illegal in the states with their laws. Does that mean the cops are watching every keystroke you make to download stuff....no they are not, I think there are more important things to stop on the internets than piracy. For what companies do that is up to them to burn resource.

    I do not care if you d/l you stuff or not ... no about your morality on the subject. Do what you like support people on how you want to support them. Just expect what you get in the end and not be disillusioned.

    I do pirate, and buy tonnes of stuff I truly enjoy from movies to games to help support the people who work hard, I make sure my money (for music) goes right to bands and not to the record company execs.

    I think we are in the mid-span of changes more to digital with the trends that are coming out. Will it stop piracy fully? No, but it will give people the options to pay people directly or have it in any other format.

    Good example I have seen so far is Metallica, every bit of their live runs so far you can buy a digital download in .mp3 and .flac files, with all the stuff to make your own album. I went online bought it supported them more and enjoy the ride.

    8 month epic storyline only to reboot after another 8 month story sounds good to me.

    The Well of Furies is really a Powerthirst vending machine. It explains EVERYTHING!

    -Lord Recluse and Tyrant invented World Dominating and Mass Oppressing as sports in their respective worlds because they were TOO ENERGETIC FOR NORMAL SPORTS!

    -Statesman is always uptight because he's TOO ENERGETIC FOR NORMAL SPORTS but was unable to invent his own, thus he is constantly UNCOMFORTABLY ENERGETIC and his body has MORE -LYTES THAN IT HAS ROOM FOR!

    -The real reason Hamidon and Tyrant fought in Praetoria was because Tyrant was RUNNING ALL THE TIME! HE WAS SO FAST HAMIDON WAS LIKE "Sloooooooooooow dooooooown!" AND TYRANT WAS LIKE "@#$% YOU!" AND KICKED HIM IN THE FACE WITH HIS INCARNATE LEGS! (or as it will be known when it's released in the expanded judgement slots: "Radial Final Pedal Judgment")

    -If you consider all of the IDF as alts to Tyrant or Recluse, than they clearly began power rolling ALTS! 400 ALTS! Upon giving Shockolate to his alts, Tyrants alts began to level ABNORMALLY FAST! THEY LEVELED AS FAST AE BABIES!

    -Also, that wasn't an Enriche bottle Marauder drank from, it was Powerthirst IN A ROCKET CAN.
    It's crystal meth in a can! Also Drinkpowerthist...shoot the clouds.

    Well it was good for eye-candy.

    Also I do have a love for bad films (aka Elektra). For DD the Director's Cut of it is graded by me as Okay, or just a plain boring good. I did like the changes it made to improve it past bad/not bad territory.

    For a staring ratting it would be like a 5.5/10 just a pass
  13. Congrats Shard. Always great to hear news like this!

    And it gave us Elektra. Nuff said.
    Actually the Director's Cut for the film made it a good film to watch. It is not on my top ten, but when I got the chance to watch the buy it I did, cause the people did a good job on it.

    *EDIT*
    Ah hell I will add my Fav 10:

    1. The Dark Knight
    2. Iron Man
    3. Watchmen (Ultimate Cut)
    4. Superman
    5. Kick ***
    6. Hellboy II and the Golden Army
    7. X-Men 2
    8. Spider-man 2
    9. Thor
    10. The Incredibles

    Now most of these are throw ups, mainly from 4+ it is what ever the mood is for me. The top three in my books help me define or set a certain standard for Superhero films.

  17. Alright on light of the news today, CoX will be going F2P (no surprise really). They will be offering a new VIP only server (for us subscribers). So is this truly the end of Triumph? I have been here since I started the game ... and I am way to lazy to transfer everything.

    Although I might be able to get some friends to finally come join.

    EDIT

  18. Well I know I want the Canucks to win. If I were to every cheer for any Boston team, I will of had amnesia, or went insane. Also since B's took out the Habs this year I cannot touch that.

    Hockey: Habs
    Baseball: Yankees
    Football: Rams

    Yeah I do not like Boston

    Yes, I ask for these items every time gender equality in costuming comes up.

    And I will continue to do so for as long as I'm able to post to these forums.
    I am with BillZ on this, bring it on!

    I really cant see the problem with booster packs for what amounts to fluff. Its a tried and true model outside MMOs. The core game is just like the core books for an RPG you want the shiny stuff, you pay for it. Its the same with just about anything. There are base models and then there are the upgraded models, options cost.
    I am like Zandock also, if I can get it in the game, I rather work for it, or not worry about it than pay extra money for it, even if it is fluff. For the fact it generates income, my money I give them and the expansions I bought generate income, I'd rather spend my extra money on other things which give me some form of entertainment.

    Second if it is just fluff, make majority of it free then, it is a tried and tested system that works for a lot of people. Then if you do it correctly you can make it a carrot on a stick so people will keep paying the 15 bucks a month to get said rewards.

    Also for optional yes you may have to pay, or you could say, that is nice, but really not work the amount to spend on it. As you said D&D, sure I could go out and spend like mad and get all the extras, for a game...and never use them or only once. Or I can opt out of it, and take what I have and do cool things.

    Now to the topic on hand, since I did not run the beta, and hinted for people to voice their opinions in the beta.

    Auras, emblems, emotes should be free period. Once 20.5 comes out viola you got some new stuff to play with.

    Basic ascension armor (not the glowly armor) is unlocked with the Alpha slot. Which people could say, he this is cool, and there is another level to this. Where could use Astral or Emp merits to buy the armor.

    For this I would say 8 Astral per piece or 2 Emp per piece. So while you may have to run some trails, you can unlock them quickly, and non-grind like.

    How about this, I would not pay 10 bucks or spend time on something I do not like. Therefore all should be free.

I will always prefer to pay money for them than to grind to unlock them.

    So when's that Rularuu Pack coming out?
    If you have to buy them from a "costume pack" then they are gated via real money.

How about we just let people buy Inf as well? I mean really, those high priced recipies and IOs are gated because not everyone has the time to farm for all that Inf so they can afford it.

    Yes we were paying for aesthetic stuff for a while now. It was just plain fluff that did not circumvent any unlocking path in the game. People are bemoaning about the cost of fictional costs and asking to spend real money so they do not need to do any work for it. HellinCarnate is making a hyperbole/mock of this idea...since it is in BETA still, and the idea of throwing money on anything that is too tedious.

    I already left feedback about it.
    So I have to come with suggestions to have another options to unlock it, something the devs dont give us, just 2 trials to play to death. Great!
    Calling out on this, people are showing anger towards the cost. Also since this is in BETA none of the costs are set in stone. Also Positron was asking people for feedback on this issue, this means they know it is not set yet, they want to know what is properly balanced. Also the post in offense:
