If you *don't* like the concept, which you obviously don't, and don't agree with not min-maxing, which you obviously don't, why do you keep disrupting the thread other than to get attention like a five year old? Why do you insist on putting down the people who are interested with comments like the above? It's not "joking," it's not "cute" or "funny." If you don't like it, ignore the thread.

Also, don't assume people with access to khelds have access to the invention system. People can purchase the unlock early. We've had people who had khelds unlocked before keep them when going to premium but not have their inventions. (I've got a friend in this situation, came back to the game - they're on SOs, but their 'main' is their PB. All they work with are SOs and HOs.)

It doesn't matter if it's "easy to use," etc, if someone doesn't like dealing with that part of the game. If they don't like that part of the game, they're not going to want to deal with it. It's that simple. Talking down to someone because they don't like the things you do doesn't make anyone respect you or your opinion.

I mean, how many posts did you make putting people down in this thread before you - I have to say "grudgingly" finally made that last post that actually has some useful information in it?



Also, I'd like to thank Fireheart and everyone else actually helping out in here. This is more useful than you might think.

TL;DR : We WANT to give you money! Let us do so for cool stuff! (Well, more cool stuff.) Don't keep cool, otherwise available stuff away!

That's what I'm saying, really. I guess it didn't come out like I wanted.

If it's "Twitter first, three/six months later it'll show up in the store," hey, I'm cool with that. "Twitter only!" (or even "And we may show up on a server," which they do on occasion, or even a meet-and-greet,) then no, I am NOT fine with it. Not in the least.

It was bad enough with the costume overlays like the freak tank and such, but even THOSE, for the most part, you can get to play with for a while during the halloween event.

This?

Why, Paragon, do you not want to (a) make a loyal customer happy and (b) take more of my money? I mean, this annoyed me enough to break out of my "ignore the forums and just have fun" I've been doing lately!

Sounds more like you were looking for people to pat you on the back and tell you it's all right, that NC is a bunch of meanies picking on you while you cried in your beer.

If "this naming non-sense" (IE, "I can't keep ripping off other peoples names" - after all, you've said you have had not just one, but several genericed characters) is enough to make you leave, you're just looking for an excuse.

Don't. If you're that burned out or uninterested, just go. Why keep yourself somewhere you're not enjoying yourself?

Are you looking at the manufacturer's pics or one of the actual cases? Since the manufacturer pics of the CM690 don't show the loop. (I was looking before, and I doubt they have some with loops and some that are loopless)

Also, I've got another case (the ultra or something, cheap case) that has provision for it but doesn't have it installed - I don't remember right now if it was loose in the box or not. Some of the locks I see replace case screws, too (or have some other way in.)

http://www.tryten.com/categories/Sec...er-Case-Locks/ - a few varieties.
http://www.directron.com/1320380.html - replaces case screw. Doesn't tie to desk, though.

So don't worry too much about the case ITSELF not having a lock.

(I looked because of fairly big periods away on occasion, and the house isn't really zombie apocalypse proof.)

... of course, if you're a VIP you get to chat anyway. (I know it's obvious, I just find it kind of funny to have that on the list.)

100% pure Columbian lol.

Seriously. We've gone from "Pay or no play" to "Don't pay and get most of the game, or pay and get a few nice things on top of it." Premium doesn't need a boost.

Hmm. I kind of like that idea. The SG has to be active enough to make the prestige/salvage/etc to make the thing in the first place, it's convenient for everyone (I hate having to duck back to Atlas or Oakes to pay rent, honestly, even with the market teleporter) and it's something that's been asked for on and off for a long time.

/gives Agg cookies for great solution.

Hmmm. What color is my name on the board?

And what does that mean?

Yeah. Obviously I'm "portraying VIPs as bad guys." Because obviously all VIPs are in terror of having their status "diminished" ... except, of course, that I'm VIP and arguing in favor of this. Sheer genius. I think the squirrel needs to cut down on his drinking. He's messing with your mind.

My issue is with people who think opening things to other people - that they have to pay for separately - somehow "diminishes" them, and so they want to lock as much away behind their "special" status as possible and fight tooth and nail for every inch, no matter how it would be convenient for others *or* make Paragon Studios money to keep developing more stuff for the game.

I mean, c'mon, he's arguing that nobody but "special" people should be able to pay rent (no matter how that's controlled by the individual supergroups, so even the "special" VIPs may not be able to.) Does it really, *really* hurt him that someone else can - *gasp!* - click on the registrar to keep the base powered? That's SO detrimental to the game?

Honestly, if he were talking about editing vs not editing, I'd have a little more sympathy. It's more involved. It's the sort of thing that would be seen as a privilege. And I actually *could* see that getting stuck behind VIP as a perk (as it is, IIRC, a Premium with the right rights or level can edit still.) But *paying rent?* Really?

You've never seen this?



More visibility wouldn't be bad. I don't think I want something big hovering over them though.

Seriously, shut up with this already. You're not amusing. With this or anything else.
