I am really not handling this well. I have real mental health problems and accepting change is not a thing I do well. I just... I just don't know what I'm going to do. I loved this game.
Oh, and Tutelary is a giant ********* for filling this thread with trollish "told you so" excrement. We really don't need such behavior on a sad day like this. -
Signed it.

My heart aches too much right now.

I made it a few months ago and since then I was kinda hoping people would stumble across it on chance, but it seems no one ever did. So, with the game coming to a close, perhaps I can ask everyone a favor and play it. Let me know what you think. It's a comedy based around the oldest in jokes this community had: "Kill Skuls" and UniqueDragon.

....I actually broke down and cried. This is the only MMORPG I've known, and being an OCD sufferer, I can't handle changes like this. Please let this be a late April Fool's. Please.

dang 2 hours late and missed em all hope they make it available in the store or send out more. I always miss out on the free stuff due to work. Guess no aura for me unless they make it available in the store.

I'm sure it's a very nice aura that I would happily buy from the store for $2-$5, but it isn't worth the irritating virtual carnival game to me.

All right, since we're all being helpful, the one I used earlier was: 34JJ-ARB7-HHAZ-2D8W-AJQW

Ha. Got one purely by selecting a random code.

Seriously, anyone who makes even a basic check of the list of people logged in on the forums will see the crazy times the red names are logged in - not just the writers, but all the devs and the community team - you'll even see them logged on at the weekend - because they care enough about the product to work way beyond their normal working hours, either at the office or from home.
Claiming that they "can't be bothered" or "don't care" is both insulting and ridiculous. -

Its bigger on the inside.
That being said, those police boxes go along with the theme of the...gah...what group in that area...not the watchers...but the lamplighters and such, the very Londonish looking police force and what have you. But the TARDIS is always the first thing I think of when I see one. -
It's just a Police Call Box, nothing to see here....

Hm, a pollution power set would be pretty neat.

Aw, dashing our dreams of Amish Man, champion of Mennonites.

I like the tech staff weapon.

Quote:Really? Interesting, considering that I actually like long stories. Any other absolutisms you want to throw at us?Originally Posted by Xzero45
It kind of is, actually. Dragging a story along for so long with little to no resolution is pretty lousy writing in and of itself. If a part of a story drags on for too long people grow bored and sick of it.
I've debated this numerous times before, so if you bother to search, you'll maybe find the various posts I've made that highlighted the clues. Needless to say, just because you didn't notice them didn't mean they weren't there. I had always thought of Calvin Scott as being a nut job because of such.Quote:And in a twist M. Night Shyamalan would be proud of, Calvin Scott isn't a vengeance driven leader that's had enough of Cole's tyranny and only cares about saving his wife no matter who dies in the process, but is instead a lunatic that made up his entire backstory and escaped from Mother Mayhem's hospital. Even though there are zero clues or hints that even attempt to allude to this massive bombshell at all throughout the Praetorian storyline. -
Quote:Again, your exhaustion over a piece of game lore is not a sign of "bad writing." I actually enjoyed the Dominatrix arc.Originally Posted by Xzero45
I probs should have been more clear. I liked DA, too. I didn't like the Praetorian elements of it. They were badly written and didn't belong in Dark Astoria. Also not seeing what Sam Tow's opinion has to do with anything, but okay.
As for Sam, he's one of the more vociferous critics of the game's writing, and while I do not ever agree with him on its present quality, not even he could hate Dark Astoria. -
Quote:Just because you're tired of an aspect of the game lore doesn't mean the quality of writing was bad. You list Dark Astoria as an example, and yet even Samuel Tow admitted that the writing there was awesome.Originally Posted by Xzero45
Purely talking IMO here, but GR was great. Awesome storylines, very well written, overall just good writing. But then we kept getting storylines that decreased in quality drastically (The new Well of Furies, Apex/Tin Mage having Cole use his Super Saiyan swagger to weaken everyone just to explain the Alpha slot restriction, First Ward shoehorning everyone into being Resistance Warden while killing off an NPC every other arc just for teh drama, Night Ward ('nuff said), the SSA1's horribly killing off of States and Psyche by some loser in a trench coat just to put Yin in as the new FP psychic). Then we get Dark Astoria, which had Praetoria's elements thrown into nearly all it's arcs (Talons of Vengeance, Dominatrix, Daibolique). And I24's gonna give us Marauder the Good Guy while still managing to drag out the Praetorian storyline even longer.
[...]
But instead we got two years of storylines focusing on nothing but a zone doomed to die, while the overall quality of it's stories plummeted. -
Quote:Apparently some people seem to think that the Synapse TF is the greatest storytelling ever.Originally Posted by Arilou
Huh, to me the quality of the writing has more or less steadily risen. (with some dips here and there) the pinnacle of writing in this game being Praetoria. (which was badly mishandled in the post-praetoria itself content, but that's a different matter)

Quote:How many power sets on average were we getting back then?Originally Posted by Thirty-Seven
So... by that logic the folks who created all of the weapon customizations when i11 launched worked for free since there was no purchasable pack for it?
-
Then again, you must remember weapon skins come above and beyond all the animations and mechanics for the power sets. They don't just press a button and the weapon self-renders. Someone has to make those like someone has to make the powers, and those people need to get paid for that work.
But "CAPITALIST PIGDOGS!" anyway, right? -
YEAH! How dare they try to make money! It's almost like they're trying to be some kind of business or something! EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FREE!!!
