Quote:Actually, I do own the software. The part you're thinking of that we don't own is the online service that the software relies on. We don't own the servers, the game's online communication or the method in which the software interacts with the servers themselves. That's the thing that's covered so extensively in the EULA. We paid for the software in full; we're renting the ability to play it online.Originally Posted by MajorPrankster
You do not own the software, you never did. -

No clue what that is referencing. I am not going to link to the thread though. It was in the pvp section and it was nudes posted of a MALE player. They were then spread all over this forum as well as another CoH forum ridiculing him etc.
You say the forums are terrible and cite as your evidence the worst part of the forums? That's kind of bad logic, man. Seattle is beautiful, utterly beautiful, but if I looked at its few bad parts and said the entire city was a slum, I'd be wrong and/or misinformed. You can't tell me that the entire forums aren't great and then say it's because of Area X only.
TL;DR:
Saying the forums are bad by pointing out the PvP section is like saying "She's an attractive woman, but her buttcrack smells." It marginalizes the majority by judging the minority. -

And before you try to paint CoH forums as pleasant...remember the forums encompass ALL sections. Ever been to our pvp forums? There was one thread where someone posted nude pics of a player and people berated that player left and right - you are right such a pleasant community
EVERY community has it's unicorns...CoH is no different.
C'mon now. -
Quote:I'll assume, then, that you were never a part of the Aion or WoW forums. You think people get away with stuff here? Go take a look at the sh*t Aion players post. There's an entire thread dedicated to making fun of Brazilians and it's not a joke thread either. Hell, try asking for anything on the WoW forums and getting something other than "l2p nub".Originally Posted by I Burnt The Toast
And my experience on other MMO forums is the exact same as these... -

So much for the "perfect" community. I aint the only one that noticed. And yeah I know many people in game that refused to bother with forum ever again after trying it just for the reason mentioned above there, Toast.Both of you have had some pretty inflamed posts in the past, more often than not. So have I. I've found that if you're a jerk, people are jerks back. What I find hilarious is when people who speak out in unfavorable ways get butthurt and yell at those who call them on being unfavorable and/or belittle the community because they can't take what they dish out.Quote:Originally Posted by I Burnt The Toast
Ask yourself this: If the "community" here on the boards was so frickin welcoming - why is it that 90% of an ONLINE game's community never bothered to register and/or post here? I can answer that for you if you would like... The forums are basically a form of pvp that many people could not stomach. I have visited other forums and they are just as rude as these, they also have a community, they have their romances, they have their children with needs who have been helped by the game, and they have their unicorns assuming people are kids and shelling out unsolicited profiling by ill equipped wanna bes. CoH is not special in it's playerbase or in it's community - it has some helpful people, some morons, and everything in between. It is just another game community.

I'd need a game that had no such thing as a "bad build."
Any build, any playstyle, any set, all viable. -
I love you guys.

The wing commander similarity should be familiar to you since he worked on development of the game.
OH.
Well then, where's my wallet... -
Quote:Yeah, except CoH had nothing to do with NC's losses. You can seat that blame on Aion being a total piece of crap and making up a good chunk of their downturn. It's no surprise either-- the game (like Blade & Soul will be) is a Korean anime-fantasy fanservice grindfest with no story or endgame and terrible PvP that's at least 2 content patches behind the version overseas.Originally Posted by shadow35
Wow! Amazing!
Tim's, Voodoo's, yours, they're all so different and yet so poignant. By 1:27 I was already tearing up here.
Every time NCSoft has another bad quarter, we should send them all these links to remind of them why they'll never do so well again. -
It's interesting-- a few of their pictures look startlingly similar to pictures from Wing Commander and Escape Velocity.

So how hard am I gonna cry when I get home and watch this? On a scale of one to ten, one being "They Canceled the Last Twilight Movie" and ten being "The Day We Found Out the Game was Being Closed Down"?

in COX in instances, I keep getting the "no signal" message when trying to call in a mish while still inside one. Is this a bug that I thought up to now was normal?
I mean, there'd be better coverage in Paragon if the damn Clockwork would stop using all the cell towers to build Paladin. -
I still laugh at the fact that the reference list doesn't have Mr. G as the G-Man. How could you possibly miss that?

If you use SOCRATES, the "crime computer," you can get missions from contacts anywhere, even other other zones. When you open the crime computer window select Search for Emergencies. You'll get a Remote Contacts window. Scroll through this to find the contact you want. Then it's just like you're talking to them directly. When you finish a mission use the same interface to call it in.
Are you f*cking kidding me? -

In that PDF file, it says:
And what he said during the appeals case supports this as well. In fact, it clarifies his side a bit more.
Thankfully, I have now gained *another* link that I was originally looking for. -

MOBA FPS where the characters dress like DC cosplayers? I don't see the connection. I don't know for a fact whether Gotham City Impostors is a good game, I just know I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole being held by somebody else. I lost both my taste and my patience for FPS arena games shortly after Quake 3 Arena.
THREE FRAGS LEFT -
I don't care what servers the game has, as long as I have the game.

Actually, you know what? I'll pay for it-- on one condition: My money goes towards the SaveCoH or Real World Hero efforts.

Quote:At no point did I do that. And truth told you weren't the sole target of what I said. Again: We're better than that. The political discussions get us nowhere. The left vs. right arguments, while easy to start, are fruitless. This isn't the place for them. "Follow the rules or don't." I can get behind that. I think we'd benefit from following them. Not one of us on these forums can seriously believe political arguments are good for us. If you do, you're either paid to argue or you really enjoy high blood pressure.Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
o.o Thanks. I'm not really sure what you're getting at here. Again, you're the one who decided to pin a star to their own chest.
If you think I'm trying to be a self-made Moderator, okay. I can live with that if it somehow deters everyone from sparking up the endless, useless, fruitless, pointless political arguments. -
Quote:What an interesting thing for you to say.Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
Point being: We either follow the rules or we don't. You don't get to pick and choose which ones we follow.

But violating the forum rules (number 7) is somehow respectful of the moderators?
Quote:Trolling is defined as deliberately posting derogatory or inflammatory comments/threads in order to provoke other users into negatively responding. Trolling or accusing someone of being a troll is also a form of trolling and is not permitted. -

That's the technique they employ to make the graphics look more "illustrated", however, and the rest of it is not so much.

It wasn't even a debate? I obviously misunderstood Bill's views and asked him to clarify. And how long have you been on these forums...? Do you really think that even before the announcement, all conversations remained relevant to the OP? Because to me it sounds like you're new here.
It's simple enough. Don't call someone a troll for trying to get you to stop talking about something completely pointless and totally unrelated to the thread. What bearing do your political views have on the thread topic? Why react negatively when someone tries to get you to stop going down a road you know will get moderated?
C'mon son. You're better than this, we all are.
