  1. Unless you like having ad blurbs interjected into your forum threads - but personally I don't.

    And I hate the ones for shoes. They are never big enough offerings for my feet anyway...

    I don't see why they restrict them anyway. The only ones that should be restricted are a few select special forums for VIPs only or company interaction with the customers.

    Really, if a forum exists then it likely does because many players, no matter how much they pay, have a use for it.
    The only forum that should be VIP restricted probably should have nothing but "VIP only content" in it, like an "incarnate forum" where only incarnate stuff can be talked about.



    But anyway, this is all because the NCSoft people were afraid of the possibility of letting in any old forum troll despite the fact that this game isn't really big enough to attract that many of them and you can always ban them, even such things as IP bans to threaten, or even use, to keep the peace.
    Not forum trolls, so much as forum spammers. Limiting the ones Free Plays have access to limits the forums that need constant or extra-frequent mod monitoring.

    I already said why.

    And yes, a T4 IS supposed to take some time. that's how endgame content works.

    And the term you want is "breakdown" - unless you truly want to be able to simply swap one T4 for another - which I doubly don't see happening.
  5. The fee for unlocking additional characters is the character slot item (available in 1, 2, and 5 packs IIRC).

    As for the VIP to Premium drop - it will unassigned all your server slots. None of the server slots will revert to being global slots, but you will be able to pick different characters (even blank slots to make new characters) with the unassigned server slots.

    (So a slot on justice will remain on justice but if you had Hero A unlocked before, you can choose a different character or even a new/create a character slot).
  6. Win8 seems to me that Microsoft is trying to unify their platforms like Apple has been, without Apple's though of keeping the Desktop a Desktop.
  7. The support ticket thing is one of the bigger "no nos" - but that's not much even so. Basically, any private communication shouldn't be brought out into the forums without permission. At most a general mention could be made.

    Customers are both harder and easier to deal with.

    It doesn't take 18+ years to kick a customer out :P

    On the other hand, (even if it's not what you want them to) kids learn.

    You do realize that even if they did not release a vanity pet, they wouldn't (necessarily) release staff instead? That Vanity pets do not take away from powersets?

    But Beast Mastery and Staff Melee are two entirely different playstyles.
    If staff had Staff mastery for stalkers, I'd be after both powersets.

    Different playstyles does not mean they cannot appeal to the same people.

    This, I'll agree with.

    Second time I called, they were definitely all "whoa, whoa, whoa... it wants WHAT?... No, that's not right. You need to check the computer..."

    Took me a while... and I wound up formattin' the drive and startin' over. Nuke from orbit, only way to be sure, after all.

    AND I changed all my info about, so they couldn't get in. Thankfully, nothing happened, so I guess I caught it in time...

    Just sayin'. Sounded similar. In case it matters.
    Sounds about right to me. maybe he should contact NCSoft, but if his ISP rotates his IP address through a wide enough range, I could see this happening.

    Don't forget, this is the company whose web staff determined that it's a safety risk to

    or


    Have a change of IP address. In an age of mobile devices. Yeah, thanks for punishing me for having an interest in your site because I may have passed through a Wifi zone and forcing me to relog on the horrible for mobile devices skin.

    I mean, these people have more stringent security than my bank, and my banks security is just fine.

    They stack, because they do different things/are different things.

    We pointed out to the devs they really missed on not having a "christmas/holiday/festival" tree option considering when they released Titan Weapons.

    I'd like an axe without jets. At this point, preferably unique, but even if they just take them off the Minotaur ax I'd be happy.

    Yup, the safety word is silence which will be easier said (or not said) than done, if you get my drift

    I thought it was just discouraged/not recommended. I do know they are not allowed to post on the forums using anything but a REDNAME™ account.

    Well, you post a lot. The sudden silence (especially if no beta was going on) would be quite loud.

    Out of curiosity - will Paragon be adding to the help window in game, giving it the ability to swap between Eng/French/German files? Even If they want to add a pop up that they might be out of date, being able to look up that info in French/German in game might help.
