I will actually be celebrating a friends b-day on Tues, so I'll be passing this week.

Hmm, running late enough that I might actually get to test this this time around.

I find it funny how some of you have this oh-so-superior attitude about this topic. Saying things like they shouldn't do a name scrub because people aren't creative enough. Who died and made all of you judge, jury, and executioner on this topic?
So what if some people aren't being "creative enough". That's YOUR guy's opinion on the matter and nothing else. The fact of the matter is that there are lots of great names tied up on accounts who don't pay to play this game and likely never will again. Those people shouldn't be entitled to those names because they're not paying customers.
And besides, not everyone who plays this game is an adult. What do you say to the kids who aren't savvy enough to pull out a thesaurus, foreign language dictionary, etc. to find a name they like? Too bad? I don't think so.
Stop having such an Elitist attitude about the matter. What does it matter to you guys whether or not a scrub is performed? If you don't like it, then fine but don't try stone-walling all of those who do. That just seems petty on your guy's part.
As far as I know, and I've followed this entire thread, no one who has posted here is against the name purge. -

um, are you being serious or are you being silly on purpose?
What they mean, is that the vet players got to the 'good names' first, used them, and retained them. For example, I once set up a time to play with a RL friend who I had not previously teamed with in CoH. He showed up with a dark/dark scrapper named Midnight. I asked him how early he made that toon, to get it with the correct spelling and no punctuation. He said he was in the original beta. THAT is what people are referring to.
Having explained what they mean, I think they should take a hike. I think the name system is just fine and there are plenty of 'good' names still out there. I made a technology tanker, a guy in a suit of powered armor. I figured the name Alloy would be taken. Surprise! It was available.
I forgot to put the /endsarcasm in there didn't I.
Gratz on 'Alloy' that's a great name, but it kinda blows peoples "all the good names are taken" argument out of the water.
I rolled up a Tech-based Fire/Fire Scrapper a little while back, and I think it took all of three tries to get his name. Couldn't even tell you what the first two attempts were, because the third one was 'Thermocouple'. -

"The helmet's really good, super game, City of Heroes" (as in they think the game is super/great, they're not just restating that it's a superhero game) basically.
"Thanks, and David appreciates the comment too! I love City of Heroes as well."
Much appreciated.

I never understood the whole 'Vet Player' vs 'New player' naming disparity. When anyone creates a new character, all players are on equal footing as far as getting a name is concerned. It's not like the Veteran players have access to some special character name directory.
"You, good Sir/Miss have no worries for your statues within the games grants you access to a lexicon of names to choose from."
"While you, peon, have this list on 500. Oh and just to let you know, most of them are already take, so we shall be replacing the L's and I's with 1's, o's with 0's, T's with 7's and spaces with -'s. Guess you should have been here sooner."
Do I think everyone should have a dictionary/thesaurus/reference book to play this game? No. I think those books should be on any desk regardless. -

By the way David, I got this comment on my DA page for the Angel Red bust you did.

It's before my time, my all-time favourite movie is
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
As for my favourite when I was a kid...
The Incredible Mr. Limpet Still a little bit before my time but watched it every chance I got (and still do.)

Favourite rant in a movie?
Edgar Friendly: "You see, according to Cocteau's plan I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener".

We just adopted a 5 year old beagle from a rescue foundation so she's taking a bit of my time right now.

That I'm not entirely sure of, since I think it's disruptive about 1% of the time, and how disruptive it actually is heavily depends on what's at stake - Soul Drain isn't nearly as important as Dark Regen, after all.
At his age, he doesn't remember what I told him the last time we teamed. As I have to remind him every time... "Dude, you don't get a +ToHit by trying to shoot them point blank in the face." I find that TP Teammate allows me to position him where he will be the most effective and least disruptive.
He takes it all in good stride, and I really don't get frustrated with him (much)as when it comes down to it we're all here to have fun, maybe blow off some steam, and in some cases blow &^%$ up and not have to think about it.
I think Luquid said it, and I agree with the sentiment, the use of my powers don't trump the fun/effectiveness of the team as a whole. I will hold off on my KB powers until I have positioned myself to where it will benefit the team the most.
I get a great deal of satisfaction when I can pop off Explosive Arrow on stragglers/runners and plop their butt at the tanks/scrappers feet. -
Quote:Actually, because you now have to hunt down your own posts and check each and every one of them for rep comments, I fully expect the -rep comments to get even worse. Most people are not going to go through the trouble of navigating that maze.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
Additionally, there are many, many reports of comments being made by people that are downright horrific. It's fine to be controversial, it's fine to voice your dissenting opinion, and it's fine to negative rep someone. It is not okay to treat the person you are negging like trash.
The abusive comments were probably far more likely the reason they disabled User CP comments. Not that people were complaining about them, but because people were making them.
Granted, there is also the flip side of that, because we cannot view those comments easily and may never see them, -rep'ers wont get any satisfaction out of their griefing. -
Did we really need yet another "Is there any QA?" thread?
