Myopic Aardvark

[ QUOTE ]
Ok, just used my respec and tidied up my primary build and then visited a trainer to tweak my second build for PvP and took the slow step-by-step power by power slot by slot approach to level fifty and recreated my build albeit with the forementioned PvP-tweakage and my current set bonuses in mind - clicked on done and expected to be greeted with duplicates of my enhancements (disabled for selling or reimbursement at the end)....

What I actually got was an entirely unslotted build.
I thought (obviously wrongly,apparently) that a duplicate build would be used as (to speak personally) all I wish to change on my build which takes into account set-bonuses is...

#One-slot off of TK-Blast
#Said slot added to an Epic powers change.

Thats it, thats all I needed to do.
There is no way on Earth I am going to spend 3 more years grinding a Billion Inf for a duplicate build so wonder...

How are Dual-Builds going to be encouraged on veterans? - Anyone?.


Yours slightly peeved off, at a now-defunct feature that I was actually looking forward too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Doing it the way you expected it to happen could just lead to a free set of very, very expensive enhancements being available and "farmed" out to other characters - you could respec after doing the dual build, after all.

Bad move.

Sorry it wasn't what you were expecting, but that's not really a practical solution.

NCSoft... feel free to bill my Credit Card for this.

What? I'm a sucker for anything shiny in this game. (That explains the drool every time I get to level 30!)

Right that's all my characters created, ready to play when there are less /Shield characters running around.

Streets of Rage style CoH

Streets Of Heroes!

That would actually be fun. Not too different from playing a melee character at the moment, but still fun

Many Happy Returns. Hope you have a great day (and cake, of course).

[ QUOTE ]
Oh wait, yeah. Teacher; forgot about that...

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. My heart bleeds for Mister "I get over 12 weeks holiday a year"

[ QUOTE ]
Is it just me, or if you actually try taking holiday before the end of the year, do your managers then conveniently forget and start ringing up in screaming panic anyway?

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh yes. Shame about that paperwork being printed and laminated, along with screenshots of the holiday database or they might have got away with it too.

[ QUOTE ]
am i the only one thinking I13 tomorrow?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. Issues have been released on Tuesdays since I5.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Right.

Hmmm... do you think they'll start taxing Monopoly games?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, because that would require someone with rational thought implementing the plan.

[ QUOTE ]
That has to be the dumbest, most ill-thought-out article I've seen on the subject.



[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

That's the BBC for you these days though. Read it earlier and burst out laughing, then tried to explain what was so funny to my non games playing colleagues (who, just to make things worse, completely agreed with the article - "We should tax those saddos playing games" etc. etc.)

So it was probably tailored well for its intended audience then

Did we get a free month i dont remember that

[/ QUOTE ]

I have no memory of this happening either?

[/ QUOTE ]

No me neither. There would have been plenty of Doom threads if they started giving away free months and there are ZERO announcements about it.

Are you sure it wasn't just an account add on (GvE, COV Collectors) that put your monthly billing back a month?

Because we definitely DID NOT get a free month for Xmas.

Too much cake in the way, huh?

Hell yeah... hang on.....

bushbaby says thanks (she can't get near a PC at the moment)

Happy birthday, honey.

The guy above me knows how to kill his friends and will not hesitate to do so. That's awesome

Two men throw a rock into a hole to see how deep it goes. It echoes for a few seconds and then a goat runs past them and, with a startled expression, jumps into the hole. A farmer appears and asks after his goat. The men explain what happened. The farmer responds that it couldn't be his goat, as he'd tied it to a rock.

Its really funny that when people say about other games being competition, like WoW, people say "oh no, different type of game, not competition", but when it suits, suddenly it is

[/ QUOTE ]

Competition is so relative though - I wouldn't say Left 4 Dead is in direct competition with this game, but it's been consuming an awful lot of my time this past week.

[/ QUOTE ]

All other games are "competition" in that they consume time that could otherwise be put towards playing CoX. I have approximately 45 hours a week when I'm not eating, sleeping or at work and that time has to be divided up amongst the leisure activities I want to do.

[/ QUOTE ]

True. I'm in one of my "leave COH alone for a bit so that it seems better when I come back", so right now, this game is getting trounced competition wise by Peggle Nights (or the other games I have on Steam. And after Tuesday, it's going to be L4D all the time; at least until Friday, when MK vs DC comes out and then a couple of weeks later when Prince Of Persia comes out....)

But then, at some point, I'll be back in game, soloing, duoing and trioing once more.

I'll keep funding the game though (my next 6 monthly payment being due 1 December).

I don't contact people who ask not to be, but the search coments do pss me off.


[/ QUOTE ]

Then that's your issue, not theirs.

[ QUOTE ]
If this is the case you are in the wrong game, and I hope you never need help because your attitude makes me think that you don't deserve it.

[/ QUOTE ]

What attitude? Why is soloing bad? Am I bad when I'm duoing or trioing? Or when I join a random group because I'm in the mood for it?

And if I need help, I'll ask for it from someone on the Global channels I'm part of. But I won't go "Even though you have asked me not to, I DEMAND THAT YOU MUST DO WHAT I WANT."

Oh, and I've been in the wrong game for over 4 years now, so I think I've invested enough money in this game now to have a say in how I want to play it.

Like I said, opposing viewpoints, with neither side willing to give.

[ QUOTE ]
From FFM: I get plenty of fill requests, despite my search comment AND being in a mission. I even get people telling me to drop my mission and fill for them!

[/ QUOTE ]

Ditto. Also, when I'm travelling to missions, I get fill requests and team invites (assuming I've forgotten to /hide.)

[ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
No matter how polite I'm asked to fill. I wont. Simple dimple (as my sister always says). I pay my subs, you pay your subs. We both play the game how we like so why change others play stile just to please yourself?
Unless the person who wants me to fill offers to pay for my sub, it will always be no.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's the sort of selfish morals that wind me up.

[/ QUOTE ]

So it's your way alone or someone is selfish...? Erm... right.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, I mean that if someone refuses to help another person in game no matter how nicely they ask ever, then it's very selfish.

If I was asked for help with anything from another player, i'd like to think if I could do so I would.... and i'm damn sure anything that is asked of me would be harder than accepting an invite for 2 mins.

[/ QUOTE ]

Despite someone requesting not to be asked to be contacted in those situations, it's okay for you to ignore that request and ask and then get upset at the other person for either not responding or telling you to look at their search message, which you've already ignored?

I know what I personally consider the ruder of the two things.

And even if I personally am soloing, I'm playing this game. Not a console game. Not another game. I'm playing this game. The way I choose to. There's nothing in the EULA to say "YOU MUST TEAM OR ELSE."

This debate crops up here every year or so (at least). And there's always two diametrically opposing points of view who can't understand the other.

I'm still fairly disappointed (for whatever reasons) that the EU game doesn't offer Annual subscriptions. The US game does (or at least did).

I'd pay annual or lifetime on any MMO that offered it (that I enjoy of course).
