Baby steps.

None of the things that explode are autohit, and archetypes whose playstyle forces them into close range are also well-equipped to take damage should the explosions hit. Having their endurance punched through the floor {especially if they depend on toggles for survival} for using that playstyle seems more like arbitrary punishment more than anything.

Furthermore, all of those things have a distinct appearance - the towering Warhulks, the gangly robotic Jump Bots, etc. How do you pick out a Super Stunner from the crowd once the shooting starts? Look for a slightly different shade of pants?

{yes, I use target_custom_next with reckless abandon, but the average player shouldn't have to}

Also /wdw_save_file and /wdw_load_file if you want to save to specific locations; you can also use /chat_save and /option_save variants for other stuff.

Here's a tip - you can now abandon and retake missions. Thus, if you want, you can mash the abandon and ask-about-missions button in a savescumming frenzy until it it places the mission door somewhere more acceptable. I use it liberally to "cluster" my missions in as few zones as possible so I don't have to constantly shuttle my team all over the place.

Actually, the olives in question would have had been put aside from a customer that was in the shop about three years ago and you put them aside in case he comes back sometime, anytime.

When it starts affecting paying customers.

They don't "have" it. The names are data, an alphanumerical string in possession of Paragon Studios, stored on Paragon Studios servers and they have been given the option of using that string as an identifier for another set of data. To compare it with ownership of a material or intellectual object is preposteriorus [sic].


And I reject your slippery slope argument. If gripes persist, then they should be treated on their own merit, not based on precedent.

{just to make it clear, I couldn't care less about previous name uprootings. I refuse to call it a "purge" because the term is wholly misleading.}

Hyperbole much? There's a difference between a handful of months and a handful of years. To call for that short a time of inactivity is idiotic, to actually implement it even moreso. Not on principle, but because it would piss off the customers who might have only taken a hiatus with intention to return - not the ones who have been absent for an order of magnitude longer.

Any number applied to a sociological situation is arbitrary, especially if it involves the word "should". What can be quantified are probabilities, and while I'm anything but a sociologist, I'm pret-ty sure that on average, uprooting inactive names would make paying customers more happy and willing to keep playing than the reverse.

Never had trouble savescumming timed missions. You can't autocomplete a timed mission, though.

Woohoo, win-win!!

Alright, thanks for the info.

Well, yes and no. I'd be in favor of enabling keyboard chords - god knows I always need more combos - but I can see how it might easily become more trouble than it's worth for customer support. If there's a way to detect specific types of bind commands, maybe pop up a message in the system channel saying something along the lines of "WARNING: This key combination may not work on your keyboard" and let each player figure out if the specific chord works for them or not.

The music would totally make up for it.
