Quote:Zortel did not say "Brutes cannot tank".Uhhh...Brutes can tank, very well actually. Where is there a consensus that Brutes are not a Tanker-type AT?
And again, the point is CONSOLIDATION. If you have ATs appearing in multiple different sub-forums, people aren't necessarily going to know where to go to find information about their particular AT or power-combo.
Zortel said "Brutes are not Tankers"
There is a dfference. Brutes are Melee/armor, Tankers Armor/Melee.
He also could of said "Dominators are not Controllers" or "Corruptors are not Defenders" - they may able to share roles but they play different.
That was Zortel's point.
And I believe the intent other's had about the Forums by Role was :
Under "Melee DPS" there would be brutes (linking to forum "78" or whatever number it has)
Under Tanking would be Brutes, also linking to forum "78" - basically bringing in how the new character creator is set up.
I agree, leaving the AT forum as is (maybe getting rid of general). -
Quote:Yes. The points are money, and are not a VIP feature (the VIP feature is them auto-magically giving you the 400/550 every month :P)Can I assume that all my Paragon Points already accumulated would be retained?
As far as what you would keep vs. lose as a VIP - if it's in the market see the descripton. if it states "VIP Content" then it's something you get for free, but would need to pay for to use as a Premium. Such as Time Manipulation. And yes, if you don't buy it, and drop to prem, you do have characters with it locked out.
Quote:You will keep access to everything in Going Rogue (sans Incarnates because it requires GR+sub)
Quote:What's the difference between people who boughed GR with money and people who get GR when becoming VIP?
edit. and VIP person who drops to premium and boughed GR vs getting GR with new system?
Quote:You have to do one of the villain patron arcs to unlock the villain epic/ancillary pools. Once you unlock one, though, they are all unlocked for respecing. The hero pools should show up automatically.
PPP - Patron Power Pools - Must unlock via a patron story arc. Patrons are regular villain contacts, as such must be a Villain or Rogue to talk to them. Once unlocked, your's to keep even if you go Blue.
APP - Ancillary Power Pools - The "hero" epic power pools. No need to unlock, everyone gets them at 35+ regardless of Alignment. Even Loyalist and Resistance
Still hoping for some kind of balance to give heroic PPPs. Maybe some kind of Guild/Society/Group PP? :P -
Quote:Only need a respec to claim it on old characters if they had already started the fitness pool.And if you hadn't notice or depending on when you left, new characters get the fitness pool for free (you will need to respec old characters to get it).
And rocketboard is actually level 1 or 2. -
As long as you don't exemplar below their level by more than 3, anyway (since they are globals)
-
T9 is T9, the VIP part is only because that section of T9 is restricted to VIPs. You do not have to get any of the consumable/repeatable T9 rewards if you don't want to, and still be able to get the stuff in the VIP section.

I've never even started the free trial for Hulu+. Every show I've watched on Hulu has "not available in Hulu+" - and mobile watching is the only reason I'd get Hulu+

Emberly - Part of why player guides is it's own forum is autopurge. That forum is skipped over automatically when the pruning is run.
Quote:I think part of the issue is how they have it tied into the game account system.Odd. I post on other vBulletin forums that don't have that problem at all. I have one forum that I haven't had to log into since back around the beginning of Spring 2011 or so.
I think someone posted something in the humongous thread over in Gameplay / Technical Issues & Bugs about the problems and what seems to be the solution from the Admin side.
EDIT: Coolio posted it, found the post.
Anyway:
1) Either move Tech issues to player help, OR post a link/announcement (not a sticky post, one like the link to current board policy) at the top of Player help or questions.
2) In pt. 3 of the revised TOS, it doesn't mention character names and it should. Maybe include a note that posting your own is okay (unless legal wants to get tightwad about that bizarrely reading clause in the fame EULA).
3) Pt 4 makes it sound likenits against the rulese to discuss a voluntary/purchased name change.
4) pt 5 - Pyramids - maybe add in your referring to nested quotes? Otherwise the way it reads I could be in trouble for my use of the multiquote feature.
5) Pt 5 - The last bit about asking questions on the board - maybe add a link a d a not to drop a line by the support page if an (immediate) official answer is required/desired -
Quote:If you paid for going rogue you will always have access to :Oh what about the premium accounts who bought the going rogue expansion shouldn't they have access to sets as well as incarnates cause I have neither
The alignment/sideswitching system
The six basic Praetorian zones (Nova, Imperial, Nuetropolis, and their corresponding undergrounds)
The four powersets unlocked. Note, this does not unlock the mastermind or controller archetypes for free to play, but you would have these power sets when you unlock them (Paragon Rewards t5 or inshore onetime unlock purchase)
The two bonus slots if applied prior to freedom
GR, while required to access incarnates prior to freedom, did not include the incarnate system. -
Quote:Your playing with all limbs whole and hale. Just don't have your fancy orthopedic shoes and super comfy tendonititis gloves right now.Thanks for the clarification although this kinda sucks but at least u can play, if you call playing with 1 arm and 1 leg playing!
SOs are still perfectly valid for play all the way up to 50.
Also, check out the list at www.Paragonwiki.com/wiki/Paragon_Reward - it will list how many tokens you need to unlock/fill T7 for the lifetime liscense, and if you check your rewards screen it will show how many tokens you have total. -
Quote:I like this one the best.* "They laughed at me because I'd never seen Ghost Busters... so I watched it... right? I mean... what the heck? But it was GOOD... I mean... it was REALLY good... so... well.. I started downloading more and more 80's movies... I couldn't seem to stop myself... and well... they all wouldn't fit on MY hardrive... so... I had an idea..."

The only way to make it immune to it's own recharge would for it to ignore all external recharge buffs.
Which it doesn't -
It could be that 4 hours IS what the techies told Z and co. Z mentioned for the "12 hour downtime" that the OCR does not give US the techie's ETA, but adds time to it.
-
We need to nail Z with the question "Why is there no "banner" at the top of Player Questions to say "For Tech issues go here!" in a Ustream
-
You mean something like auth.city.com?
Heh, reminds me of a funny EQ moment... Apparently the game servers all used a DNS server to point to "Feydark" or "Plane of Knowledge"... and it's gone down before. So if you zoned, you d/c'd -
The only instances of double-buying I've heard of involve previously bought boosters.
Which most of us will have at the moment :/
As for the roman stuff? Currently, at least, the vanguard stuff is there already because they already had a "pack" set up (from the loyalty anniversary gift). Either try catching a U-Stream or PM Posi or Z, and they might be able to get you an answer to if they would put up a roman pack sometime soon. -
Quote:I deliver to a place called "DEB" - girls clothing store.For some reason I'm reminded of the time they painted the employee lounge at my one job. First off you have to imagine that all the furniture, carpet, and borders along the walls was a nice dark forest green.
Now try to picture everyones reaction the next day when they walked in to that room to see the green furniture in a room that was painted Pepto Bismol Pink.
Where it doesn't look like someone threw up pepto, it's neon green. :/ I think the only reason that store doesn't have a high, uh, "employee attrition" rate is they are in a mall so one wall is glass looking into a non-pink world.
Even the ceiling tiles are pink. -
Haven't checked windfall, but if you click on an item, it brings up a moderately detailed window and explains what it does.
And as far as I know, yes, gotta use the tailor to preview costume items (that and check the pages on paragonwiki.com) -
1) Real nerds celebrate Wintereenmas.
2) You guys do know that the only thing Ironic about "Ironic" is itself? That it's title is the only real irony it has>? -

Quote:Could be worse. For some reason, I just cannot recall my Ustream passwords, and I thought I wrote the last one down somewhere but apparently not.Ustream chat I guess, it took me 4 tries to have my question go through. Each time I pressed enter to send it to the Ustream chat I would get a screen that popped up over the chat display forcing me to sign back in. Rather annoying.
And to reset my password requires human interaction, as my name there is not "valid" according to the password reset system (It contains an underscore...) -
Quote:No no no no no. She needs you to send her money so she can come visit you.Next you'll tell me you're a lady from a foreign country who saw my avatar and read my profile, and now you've become enamored with me and can't wait until you can finally meet me so we can begin our lives together. Oh, and you also need my bank account information for reasons that aren't entirely clear.
Quote:According to the to-hit numbers that I looked at after that rumor got started, Praetorian Clock work do have an accuracy bonus to their attacks.
Other than getting a mod to lock it down, you're out of luck. Purposeful attempts to invoke godwin generally fail.
Quote:Still holds, however.
If you sign a document that says "I hereby give permission for Joey Anyman to hit my left hand with a tack hammer one (1) time without any legal, physical or financial repercussions" and sign it (the agreement), Joey can hit your hand with a hammer and if you decide to take him to court he can present the document. The judge would laugh at you.
But that's because there are laws against taking advantage of the mentally disadvantaged, especially when it comes to contract signings and whether or not they can be considered capable of entering into contracts.
Quote:You're forgeting this isn't a random hurricane knocking over a powerline, this is schedulded, planend maintance or the results of poorly executed previous maintance.
It's also to prepare to for future customers, refunding the players the lost time, what does it cost them? It means instead of some one paying them on the 20th they pay on the 21st or the 22nd.
To use your IP example, this is them cutting service to you several times over a two week period, so that they can offer service to a new housing estate. If that happened, I'm pretty sure they would give you the extra time before your next bill.
Telling the players to go **** themselves and hiding behind the EULA? What will that cost them? Well players and word of mouth back lash for one. -

Quote:Examples please?I'd like my account credited the lost time, so that if my subscription were to end on the 13th it would now end on the 14th. Other MMO's do it.
Quote:WoW gives players back subscription time, should the game become unplayable for less time than Paragon has been down inthe last two weeks.

Quote:Something is seriously out of whack here.
I agree completely with everything Sam said in one of his posts.
I don't?
I have no landline. If there is an emergency, it is how I contact emergency services.
If a relative ends up in the hospital, it is how I am contacted.
If something happens at work, it is how they contact me.
If I have trouble with a delivery at work, it's how I contact either my employer or my customer, depending on the situation.
My cellphone is not a *convenience* any more than the traditional one land line in a house is. And the fact that when we DID have a land line, we were able to get them to speed up service quoting FCC regulations (line went out, they blamed us and told us they couldn't get to us for a week. Turns out it was THEIR end :/ ).
On the flip side, I understand that things like dropped calls can happen. But extended non-functionality in areas that are covered? Yes, I'd go after AT&T.
Location really doesn't matter. When I worked swing, my prime playtime was when all the downtime has been going on. Anyone assuming that because we are in North America and thus are not inconvenienced is in error. -
Quote:They have never lowered, that I recall, the SO droprate. Any changes to enhancement drop rates were to TOs and DOs, and only once you were well into the DO and SO drop ranges, respectively, as even pre-inventions many considered the TOs and DOs trash at those points.I wonder if the devs are going to do something about SO droprates since they lowered those due to all the recipe/salvage drops. Players who don't get recipe drops are really gonna feel it.
Correct -
Quote:And before anyone tries to use SoE's mess to bolster a "Give me a refund" stance :While I sympathize- theres no way in hell you'll get it. No MMO is going to open that pandora's box, nor should they. Is it inconvient? Hell yes. But at the end of the day, it's a game. It's not a staple necessary for living. Do you play EVERY day of that 30 month sub? Most don't. You pay for access to the game. However, these are physical mechanical devices and sometimes they need off time for repair/maintenance/upgrades etc. It happens, it's not the norm, so enough already.
They were down for weeks solid, and they let themselves get hacked in a way as to expose plenty of people's info to the hackers!
