je_saist is good at rooting out drivers for nVidia, perhaps she will poke her head in here, or you can try PM'ing her.

I've used the two or three moves I intend to, but this will definitely be handy for people coming back for 2XP Weekend.

Yeah, Alt...I don't think you read that post correctly. In any case, bad form Paragon Studios on sending the advertising e-mail out for purchasing GR...when you can't actually buy it right now.

This is what I imagine will be the case.
Make sure you type the right now. Or if you do make a mistake, hoep the other person on the other side is nice enough to return the item.
I don't know how many times I've gone to my global list, or rt-clicked on someone ingame, expecting to see an email option. -

So last night in Atlas (on Freedom), I stumbled across an uber-newb and his g/f, both on Trial Accounts.
They were long-time WoW players, coming to CoH because, in his words, he "heard the players were really nice", and the Costume Creator was "awesome".
Invited them both to join me, gave them each some start-up Inf, and ran a few of their early missions with them, explaining various concepts, mechanics, tips, etc. as needed. Was also able to keep them SB'd for travelling.
It was a very rewarding experience, and I intend to try to find some more uber-newbs to help out again tonight, if possible.
I know some, perhaps *many* players already do the same kind of thing, I just want to encourage them, and suggest it as an alternative activity in general if you're feeling bored with whatever you're up to in-game.
And not just for the benefits of building the player base. For me, the time spent with the newbs passed very quickly (2.5 hours in the blink of an eye), and it was really fun seeing it all through their eyes again (after many years of play). It also left me with a nice warm-fuzzy feeling, and reminded me of the first player to take me under their wing as an uber-newb back in the day (Thanks Orion Arms!).
[Of course, 5 minutes after leaving those two newbs, a lowbie called me "another selfish, self-serving hero" for not agreeing to PL him in the AE (as I was about to log off).]
So if you're feeling like you've "hit the wall" on content or TFs or Badging or whatever, let me recommend taking a break, finding some true newbs, and offering your assistance... it is, as I said, very rewarding in many ways.
I'll do that myself on occasion.
I highly recommend checking out the Mentor Project in my sig. -

Probably easier to do 45 degree increments, though.The "instead of" is what threw me.Quote:Originally Posted by Aggelakis
I didn't say that they would have to get rid of the "right click X degree turn" option. -

Thanks for the links, Johnny.

Quote:I quoted you, Johnny but there have been quite a few posters in this thread that have made the "keep a unique name=selfishness" while "must have someone else's name≠selfishness" claim. While some have omitted the second part, their statement that "keep a unique name=selfishness" paint them in the "I want your name, but I'm not selfish" camp as far as I'm concerned.Originally Posted by Johnny_Velocity
To answer your first question: I was responding specifically to the POV of Samuel Tow, who appears to not only agree that his is a selfish desire, but actually embraces the notion.
I've made no claims that my POV isn't selfish, but since Sam took the point of view that he does not want global names since, essentially, there was nothing it it for him, I attempted to show that there was in fact something in it for him - making the game more accessible may prolong the game's life via more subscribers. (To which he responded, in essence, (1) that he didn't think that would be the result and (2) even if it were so, he'd rather find a different way to draw subscribers that did not impact him.)
Okay, I laughed at that.Quote:But I can assure you my motivation is not covetousness - I have no desire to have any specific person's specific name.
As for the rest, we'll simply count you as another vote in favour of Going Rogue: Thesaurus Edition.
Oh, and by the way, where did you get your revenue information? Because NCsoft recorded record sales. -
Quote:I'm sorry but how does wanting to keep a unique name= selfishness, but must have someone else's name≠selfishness?Originally Posted by Johnny_Velocity
Thank you, THANK YOU, for the admission that, at the end of the day, it comes down to selfishness.
And for the vocal vets who always chime in against this idea, I strongly suspect the same motivation.
It is my firm belief that global naming would make the game more accessible to new players. (In PnP terms, who would join a campaign if the GM only allowed your name choice if you roll a 1 on a d20?)
In a game whose revenues fell 25% this past quarter (now an estimated 75K subscribers), perhaps you should consider that making the game more accessible to newcomers might be in your best interest.
What would make the game more accessible to new players is a name generator at the ID screen. We were all new players once. I do not consider myself a veteran player. When I create a new character, I'm in the same boat as someone on a trial account as far as naming is concerned.
It took me a month to find these forums, I didn't come on here complaining that the name I wanted was "In use" or "Unavailable." Why? Because there are countless tools out there to help anyone find a unique name. I just so happen to have about five or six sitting on my desk, plus bookmarked websites none of which are name generators.
If people are dead set on having that name and only that one name, then what do they do with the next character they create? You know, because that mythical 'best name' has already been taken.
If me wanting to keep my names to myself is selfish, then so be it. But don't come on here claiming that your POV is any less selfish.
Oh, and another reason I like having unique names? If even one other person has that name on the same server, then it's too common for me, I don't want it. -
