    And I didnt see any link on the product page showing what all it came with...only written descriptions and they were vague.

    There are four screenshots that depict the pieces....

    I really think we're on the verge* of some changes, and hopefully longer skirts is one of them. Moving tails too!

    *poster makes no attempt to claim "verge" being any faster than "Soon™"

    I17 and GR

    I'm in the "expansion = expansion goodies" camp. I fully expect that the DP/DS powersets will either be greyed out, or gone entirely (much like epics do not show up until they are unlocked) unless you have purchased Going Rogue, and I don't think it's unreasonable to believe this.

    AFK travel and being able to talk and travel at the same time.

    I would think that the numpadminus would be better. Or maybe they're the same.
    They're not the same, and you can certainly remap it

    No no, you're supposed to ASK in those forums, depending on which AT you're looking for.

    Not sure if a mention of the CoP was literally on the CoV box, but I'm pretty sure the mention of "base raiding PvP" was, and based on the original intentions the CoP was a key part of that collasped house of cards.
    I know it's not specifically mentioned on the CoV collectors box, but it is in the manual, for what that's worth.

    So if I wanted to use a third party retailer, would I be able to buy the Booster Packs from them? I know I can get copies of CoX from external sources but I didn't think the packs could be bought anywhere else other than the NCSoft online store. I should state I'm an EU player as well.

    It'd be a bit of a shame if they can't be as I was counting on them to make a good gift for a few friends this Yule.
    Maybe you could get some preloaded Visa cards so they could get their own?

    One trick I do from time to time is add a title(Mister, missus, Ms, Doctor). They can be abbreviated, and "Mr" and "Ms" can be used with or without a period(a period denoting married status).
    Whaaaaaat????

    With zero indication of low long "a certain timeframe" might be. sheesh.
    Probably so those fraudulent users don't know how long they have to wait to use a stolen card again

    None. You're just going to have to be a little patient and wait for a day or three to get the other pack.

    The idea of using ESDF is really appealing to me but I'm not sure if I could do it. Old dog, new trick and all that.
  16. Tells already have sound, but there isn't something for SG - probably because some SGs are so busy it would be going off constantly

    I felt it appropriate to insert one of my favorite EverQuest stories here. Although this didn't happen on my server, it still went around the guide community and was a source of great amusement. For those who don't know, here is Xegony.


    Quote:
    You petition, 'Xegony is attempting to take advantage of Hackhuis's intoxication by jiggling her ample bosom in an overly suggestive manner. This "Boobie Taunt" frequently causes Hackhuis to forget his duties e.g. hitting attack and standing still for 40 minutes. We feel this is unbalancing to game mechanics and should be remedied posthaste.'

    ...


    You say to your guild, 'I'm still waiting for a reply to my Boobie Taunt petition.'

    ...

    Feness tells you, 'Greetings! Guide Feness at your service. How can I help you tonight'

    Players in EverQuest:
    ---------------------------

    * Guide * Feness (Wood Elf) ZONE: cshome

    You say to your guild, 'HAHAHA they answered!!!!

    Styxus tells the guild, 'lol no way'

    You told Feness, 'Well, my petition was concerning Xegony's propensity for wiggling her ample bosom in a suggestive manner, it's causing our tank to forget his duties, e.g. standing still with attack on and pressing taunt'

    Feness tells you, 'May I just say.. HAHAHA HA

    You told Feness, 'We have dubbed this the "Boobie Taunt" and we feel it is unbalancing.

    Feness tells you, 'I am sorry i dont mean to laugh but that was the best thing I have heard all night long'

    Feness tells you, 'what do you suggest I do about this?

    Feness tells you, 'should I tell Hackhuis to please ignore the boobie taunt and remember he is a warrior and should be above temptations of the flesh especially from a hussy such as xegony? '

    You told Feness, 'Well, I've heard of certain powerful magic users discovering a mystical "Diminuitive Mammary" enchantment that may reduce the Queen of Air's formidable assets to a more workable level'

    You told Feness, 'I suggest implementing said enchantment

    Feness tells you, 'for that you would have to talk to the developers via /feedback and let them know that they need to give Xegnoy a breast reduction so the tanks will not be so mezmerzied by her "boobie taunt". '

    Feness tells you, 'in the meantime I suggest using a female warrior that might not be so easily charmed by her "assets" so to speak.

    You told Feness, 'Strategic measures we did not take into consideration. Thank you for your assistance.'

    Feness tells you, 'i have sent Hackhuis a tell instructing him to perhaps ignore the boobie taunt and try to kill her instead of drooling all over her. '

    Hackhuis tells the guild, 'lol guide harrassing me about boobies now'

    You told Feness, 'Thanks for answering by the way =P'

    Feness tells you, 'no problem.. thank you for the laugh. what a good way to end my shift tonight'

    I don't have the album so I can't check the liner notes. And the bands official site doesn't have the lyrics. The word 'touche' is clearly wrong, based on the definition, but it wouldn't be the first time song lyrics deliberately had words wrong. Anyone have the album?
    All those lyrics sites are incestuous anyway. They all steal from each other, as evident by the repeated identical errors.

    The word is "tush".

    Awesome! But is this canon? I mean, it's obviously a nice gesture on the part of players, but how do we know what ethnicity everyone was?

    On a side note.. I've had costume compliments while at either of those places on more than one occasion as well. Maybe you just don't catch anybody's eye?
    Yeah, no, that's not the case, trust me.

    I can't think of a single time I've gotten a tell from someone while I was at the tailor, when they were also at the tailor. They're always from someone on my global friends list or some random invite from search.

Let me first say I've tried to say at least a billion times how bad I sucked (and maybe still suck, comparatively) with movement and "controlling" my char. However, my girlfriend has the prob of not wanting to use "both hands" (can't seem to avoid sex metaphors) when controlling her char. She moves using one hand and attacks using the same hand. I have also told her how I used to do the same thing and she needs to try to use both hands but doesn't seem to be working. I guess I need to be patient on this one. The understanding might be the tough one. I mean the understanding of the game. I've told her about the abundant resources for the game (online resources), but I think she'd rather rely on me for info. This one might be a suck it up and deal with it, which I'm prepared to do, just thought I'd throw it out there.
    ... I move using my left hand WASD and then attack with the same hand, 1,2,3, etc...

    You gotta let her find what works for her. One of my kids loves WASD, my other one is set on the arrow keys to get around. They can both move, so it doesn't matter who is using what.

    Understanding the game takes time and practice, that's all. You can't expect a beginner to absorb all the info in a week, even with the resources available. I'm still learning new things and I've been playing this game for years.

    The only thing you can do is to take the screenshot with your graphics up as high as they can go, especially FSAA. Take the shot in a bright area and then edit out as much of the extra stuff that you can. Using a program like Photoshop will help with that. You're still limited by the resolution though. You can't make a picture -better- than it was originally without heavy editing. Just like once an image is compressed and saved, you can't put it back the way it was.

    A great alternative is to commission a picture of your character specifically. Personally, I'd go that route, because there are some really fantastic artists out there that do awesome work. Again, deviantart is a great place for that.
