It's not melodrama. It's a fact that without any access to my own base that I've earned huge amounts of prestige for then there is zero point me being premium. And as i'll be in a galaxy far far away I can't justify having a sub that I will very rarely use.
And for your information I've already started donating my stuff to various causes. So try being snarky to someone else.

Freitag just updated the announcement. Something came up during maintenance and it is taking longer than expected. Thank you for your patience, etc.

Heh. Well, I can count it as too early (which, really, it is) or just call it a continuation from last night.
Malibu + OJ = good.
Malibu + Cranberry juice = good.
Malibu +OJ + Cranberry juice = not so much.
This has been a pub service announcement. Not for use as a flotation device. -

OK, maybe less secret messages than just drunk ramblings. But I'm from Pinnacle originally, so drunk ramblings are nothing new.
our base has a bar in it. -
Quote:They really need to do better on their estimates and start overestimating the time it will take because being off in the other direction almost every time is guaranteed to frustrate people.Originally Posted by Rainbow Avenger
I don't usually fuss over maintenance. I can even live with the inevitability of downtime ALWAYS being on my day off because I have long since convinced myself that my supervisor faxes a copy of my schedule to Paragon Studios once a week. But I do get testy when maintenance starts to run two or three hours over. If this continues I will have no choice but to go and wash those dishes in the sink. DON'T MAKE ME.

Call them secret messages or something. -
Quote:I was on at 7:30 CDT and the announcement came that the server was going down in 30 minutes which would be 8am CDT.Originally Posted by GhostLotus
The irony was it was about what, 7 CDT they said they were going down, the announcement says 6AM PDT, that is 8AM my time, so hmm, someone got their information incorrect..
Heh I vividly remember someone I was in the "From Below" trial with saying "oh daily maint is a normal thing and rarely takes more than 30 minutes", and me, being gone for a year, clearly said "You're kidding right, no really, WHEN have they EVER had a 30 minute maint, at the very least it's going to be two hours".
I win by default really, though for me it's been over two hours since then, I've watched four tv episodes, should have bet her something... -
Quote:I'm too lazy but I am pretty sure last year when Going Rogue came out I posted how much downtime we could expect for patches based on past large releases. I think it was 19 days like this. So we have quite a few more to go over the next 2 weeks.Originally Posted by Frost Warden
Hey, these threads only come up on days ending in "day"....
As for the OP....
Yes, downtime sucks. However, making ridiculous claims that the game is down more than up IS hyperbolic. 2 hours is not greater than 22 hours, at least not in this corner of the universe. While I can understand if this is your prime playing time (it is for me, here in the USA), ranting about it will not change anything. As explained earlier, the devs are more than sure to be taking this seriously; their livelihoods depend on keeping the game running smoothly as much as humanly possible.
A word of warning: We can probably expect a few days of maintenance next week as well; anyone who feels the need may want to prepare their rage-filled threads now. -
Quote:I honestly have no idea what you are saying.Originally Posted by quickfire
Nope, we don't. Instead we need folks that defend a game blindly to tell us what we know and don't know. After all, who knows us better than a forum cheerleader, eh?
You guys have done SUCH a great job over the last 7 years guiding this game to it's resounding success.
Always someone trying to iceskate uphill.
We all know it is down but the blind defenders are responding to the self entitled blind whiners.
The game is a success so that is puzzling comment.
So who do you have doing this uphill iceskating? The successful game defenders or the complainers? -

Quote:Our ignore lists are only 100 or 200 names deep so whether you /ignore or /ignorespammer they add to the top of the list but if you are at the limit the one you ignored longest ago is now no longer ignored.Originally Posted by Blue Rabbit
I'm sure what you typed made a lot of sense to you oh berry what is dumply, but I'll be baffled if that didn't make me more baffled than I already am?
What list? Back to what rotation? What?
so say you ignored me in game because I annoyed you, now many RMTers later I go off your list and am no longer ignored by you and you have to put up with my nonsense until you ignore me again. Which then unignores yet another long ignored player. -
Quote:Usually there is multiples. And they deliver amusement (for me). This is a very slow day for them.Originally Posted by Clouded
Absolutely. Just like we need a post about the downtime every single time.
I do agree that the downtime frequency has been dissappointing at the least and frustrating at the worst.

Quote:$100 => 9600 points => 8 tokens plus the first time bonus 1 for 9 total.Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
The fastest way? Buy a crap load of Paragon Points on the Paragon market. You get 1 token for your first purchase of points, and a further token for every 1,200 points bought. It won't be cheap.
(I doubt the preorder boxes can be found at all easily anymore)
Not that I am admitting to doing that... -
Well the fastest way is to buy a lot of Paragon points and earn tokens.

Clearly -something's- not working as they intended. Maybe the new email system messed up the old token delivery script.

Now kick him off your account and tell him to play free too. -
Quote:The answer is our characters becoming Incarnates is to beat back Tyrant and the Praetorians and therefore storywise it is tied to Going Rogue as part of the story.Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
So expansions do not change over time nor get things added?
And they are not loaded questions, lol.
When the content came out... it required the purchase of an expansion.
Why make the distinction that it is not part of that expansion? -
Quote:You still do need to subscribe to do incarnates so that hasn't changed from before.Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
Yes, you'll need all of that to play City Of Heroes, before, after, with or without Going Rogue and/or the Incarnate System.
The fact that you fail to recognize this before making such a post is exactly the reason why you can't understand the validity of what I am saying. -
Quote:maybe it might make more sense to list what Going Rogue came with?Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
No, I saw what you were trying to say, but it does not say that.
Honestly, think about this.
What else did you have to buy in order to access something that was not a part of that something that you had to buy in order to access it?
Praetorian zones
The ability to make praetorian characters
alignment merits
the ability to switch alignments via only those particular missions. They were clear that tips were not part of Going Rogue
it didn't come with any incarnate stuff IIRC but when Incarnates came out they said we had to have bought GR to use them
Is that all correct? -
Quote:No kidding. There's a long list of such things.Originally Posted by Smersh
There's no reason why men shouldn't have clock belts; there's no reason why females shouldn't have the baron boots.

Quote:It all depends on my powers but a secret identity is a pain. I don't have to work 24x7 even if I don't have one.Originally Posted by EU_Damz
Lets imagine a world in which superpowers do actually exist [no jonny depp isnt a superhero, he's just a good pirate!], what kind of role would you have within that world?
Would you be the type who is known to the public as a superhero 24/7? Maybe the type who throws on his/her superhero costume when danger is near thus having a secret identity?
Each one does have its own pros and cons but im just curious as to which one you [as a person] would have?
Myself? I would go for the secret identity. I'ld much rather have a bit of peace and quiet to myself and enjoy my own life as well. -
Quote:What about my Incarnated purpled out warshade? With Miracle and Numina's and Luck of the Gamblers oh my!Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
The Incarnate powers will just be disabled when you drop down to Preem (just like how IOs would operate).
Damn casual players and their purpled out warshades!
