  1. Sorry Riff, me and you get on in game and teamed many a time, but I am one of those that never wanted this to happen.

    I have been affected by this none the less and like others have been left with a bad taste in my mouth. I say others Riff because last night when I was on there was quite a fair bit of american bashing going on by people who feel the same as I do and I even heard instances of people crossing over to american server just to create trouble. I do not condone these actions and therefore am taking a break from the game lest I be dragged into something that could end badly for me as I take things quite personally and when I argue I normally don't give a damn who I upset but later regret it.

    I feel this could have been handled a lot better with a lot more time and effort put into it, there was a summer time date put onto this, that would have given time to get a more appropriate method in, but for some reason they rushed it forward?

    For some they play the game for PvP or RP, new content, I solely played this game due to the fantastic community we had made on Defiant that now feels a shell of what it was, it is going be hard for those that stay with Defiant to rebuild what it once was, down to nicknames we used to give one another, to knowing who you want on your TF or the ones you usually avoid.

    I know loosing your global sucks especially after 75 months - wow impressive!

    What about replacing the L i Slazenger with a capital i. Noone can see the difference. Just an idea.
    Only problem with swapping the L for a capital I is that I wouldn't notice, me being me I am bound to forget and end up sending recipes and enhancements to someone else

    Taking a Break

    Hi all, just to let friends and SG's know that will be taking a break for the 1st time ever to calm myself down abit. Losing my global sucked big time after having it for 75mths and i'm a bit sour for it, so rather than offend anybody or get involved in pointless arguments I figure it's best just to walk away for time being.

    So see you all in a month or so, by then I should have calmed down enough to get down to business as usual.
  4. Have searched under User CP, but dosen't seem to have the option.
  5. Anyone know how to change my Forum Global, might as well give that to em as well (surprised they never got it when forums merged anyways)
  6. Any chance a red name can tell me why I had my Global at 08:00am this morning, and when I logged in a 18:00pm it had changed?

    Is there a chance now that I have renamed, that will also change at some point?

    Yes indeed, some with good reason
  8. Had my global this morning, but somehow it's gone now. So I am now known @The Real Slazenger.

    I didn't want the merge before yesterday, guess what I feel about it now?
  9. Um, checked this morning and still had my Global, have now just lost my Global WTF, 75 months I've had that name.

    Are names still being lost when people are logging on NA side?
  10. *Raises Hand* I survived, oh well guess I can delete my file with all my plots to hunt down the person who took my global and commit heinous acts of torture upon them. NCSOFT ruin everything
  11. Mind you we should all be used to it by now, they have been gradually shafting us for a while now in preperation for the major shafting.

    Heck if King Kong came and shafted me right now I wouldn't feel it
  12. We have been getting quite a few one-offs in primetime lately, I thought it would just be a one-off. silly me.

    (Yes, that was my being sarcastic. )
    Made me chuckle and snort coke outta my nose.
  14. maybe send a /pet asking them to be gentle with you, but really it's gonna be strap the leathers on, hold onto the hand rails and brace for impact. If you've not got the expensive oils I would strongly suggest investing in a extra padded stuffed with duck feathers cushion, at least then you can nurse the wounds back gently.

    Which lube you using, i've gone for the industrial strength super smooth oil and also went all out and got fragrance version. No harm in having a nice smell whilst they stick it to me.
  16. so we will not be able to check our globals till wednesday, but i thought this was going live tomorrow.
  17. Just checking downtime tomorrow, is that a mis-print or will we not beable to get on tomorrow apart from the morning?
  18. So the 10th aye, just out of interest how many people are actually looking forward to this now or are there people like me who are cringing behind the sofa and actually praying for a miracle.

    I actually will be marking the 10/05/11 as doomsday for the EU servers.

    Because I can tell you which one *I* would consider the better SG. (Hint: It doesn't involve farming)

    Just because a number on a list is higher than other numbers on a list does NOT mean the people with the the higher number are any better. Especially since you can BUY prestige. All an SG need to hit #1 is have a marketeer or a good farmer as a member who is willing to spend billions buying prestige for the SG.

    I see SGs who are up there in the rankings all the time. I've teamed with some of them. You'd be amazed at how many of them are incompetent morons because they got their SG rank by farming with teams of Fire/Kins and have no idea how to actually do anything else.

    I'll take the SG that is fun to team with over the SG that has a high prestige number any day of the week.
    And like I have said all along you have no way of knowing how a SG behaves until you join them, so you have to consider the no.1 SG by prestige until you know otherwise, anything else is hearsay.

    Right, so how do you determine who the no.1 SG is if you don't include prestige?

    Sure I can, If I started playing the game as of today and I wanted to join the best SG, the only way in game to tell who that it is, is to go to the SG guy in Atlas or Port O and bring up the top 100 SG's. If I wanted to join the best I would automatically join the No.1.
    Any otherway of supposidly joining the best SG is just hearsay with no hard facts.

    It's a measure of the prestige generated. That's it.
    Who created that?

    Cos when I go Atlas or Port Oakes and click on SG guy, the tab, show list top 100 sg/vg and the SG with the no.1 next to it normally means that it's no.1.
    And thats what I have to go by as there is no other way of showing the No.1 SG.

    What a great way to combat ingame inflation by making great use of an influence sink.
    I don't belong to an SG, I have my own personal one that isn't even in the top 100 SG's and I don't consider it to be an SG, just my own personal space.
    But I do know people in the top SG's on my server, they host events and include me in TF's everynow and then, these benefit me.

    As far as inf sinks go it dosen't benefit me in the slightest so don't include everyone in your list for who they benefit.

    That is your opinion, but any SG that has accrued prestige and been running for over 6 years and earned no.1 spot deserves it in my book, someone who can earn and burn inf in less than a month and take no.1 spot is meh to me at the best.

    Years ago I knew a boy at school that brought a sticker book, he was quite wealthy and managed to complete the book in a day, he also thought he was god because he had completed the sticker book 1st and the only reason he did was cos of his wealth. You know the best thing though all the other people who also brought the book had great fun taking there time and swapping stickers with one another, whilst Mr wealthy stood and looked on bored out of his tree.
