So you would prefer to be able to log in but not be able to play (enjoyably)? Because unless I miss my guess, that is the implied alternative.

[/ QUOTE ]

Alternative uh alternative, server crashes under the load and is down for everyone. Equality of the lowest common denominator for the... win?

Naked.

What? Clothes restrict my gaming mojo.

I was thinking of it being removed as not being constructive, not high quality, abusive, and character assissination.

You can disagree very politely. Well, at least I've seen it done.

since my original post violated forum rules, and was removed, I will post again, in a nicer way.

You sir, are a fool.
This was one of the dumbest ideas Cryptic or NCSoft has ever come up with.
I hope it backfires upon you and I also hope you sleep well at night knowing you screwed the playerbase.

Wow. Way to post "nicer." Especially when utilizing the phrases 'dumbest idea...ever,' 'hope you sleep well at night,' and 'screwed the playerbase,' please don't speak for me. EVER.

[/ QUOTE ]

IMO the original that was based on was ban worthy and I certainly wouldn't have allowed the re-write even to stay up.

So we know at least that the MODS are much nicer people than me.

[/ QUOTE ]

I didnt read the original so cant comment on that, the rewrite however is perfectly acceptable and is a valid opinion. At least we know the Mods are not anal about only having Ra-Ra sqaud posts and allow the exchange of ideas and opinions, perhaps you would be more at home on the SOE boards, you will find them more to your liking.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes lack of frothing vitrol = ra ra. Here have a clue on me.

Player A1 puts up a Level 12 TO for 5,000,000 inf.
Player B1 puts up the same Level 12 TO for 1,000 inf.
Player A2 (trying to transfer funds) offers to buy that level 12 TO for 5,000,000 inf.
Since player B1 wants less, and is obviously trying to move his items faster, his "for sale" is processed first, so he ends up with 5,000,000 inf (minus fees).

[/ QUOTE ]

That, sir, is awesome.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed.

I do think no travel powers may make things a bit harder though, there is a HUGE difference between super speeding from one point to the next and walking it, time wise.

[/ QUOTE ]

Probably does but I already have characters who have no Travel Powers in BB because I decided to get the later.

So I'm already walking and it doesn't take that long (sure Super Speed would be quicker but it's still not bad).

It's called a rant. Dennis Miller made a lot of money from those.

[/ QUOTE ]

a) You're not Dennis Miller.
b) Even he can't rant on these boards.

Try to take a think before you post and your posts will stick around longer.

Civil disobedience is just an excuse for breaking a rule.

It in no way should suggest that the person doing so shouldn't face the full punishment.

If someone means to try to relate it to forum moderation then I say to them go ahead and break the rules if they feel they have to but then accept any deletions, locks, or bans that result as the fully expected consequence.

Because not following forum rules is JUST like being part of the Underground Railroad.

Do you often go off on these tangents?

Sorry, mate, but as some guy who can't even bare to see a conversation which has absolutely nothing to do with him going on simply because he doesn't agree with the subject matter? Yeah, yer a veritable flower.

[ QUOTE ]
That was sort of the point.

The one you missed.

Over there.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah you just proved the opposite of what you thought you did. Lack of self-awareness for the lose, eh?

Gonna keep trolling the thread? Can't stand it? Look, people kept talking about gaming EVEN AFTER you tried to put a stop to it!

What oh what will your delicate self do now?

[/ QUOTE ]

Ha. Besides one small comment on the first day of the thread which I felt to be appropriate I've been doing nothing but replying to people who reply to me.

Why people just like you. It's called having a conversation.

Troll? See your own posts if you want to see someone going over the line.

[/ QUOTE ]

I see that you were, indeed, too delicate. Shame.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, but not too serious.

You might want to head off to another thread that agrees more with your delicate sensibilities.

Ya, we pay for it and... well, I'm sorry It's still a game. I play for my monopoly board also

You don't pay anyone regularly to maintain Monopoly

[/ QUOTE ]

True but alot of games and hobbies require money either once or repeatedly. It doesn't change the nature of the thing.

If you were paying a golf membership and the club decided to make the worst hole...worse, I'm sure people would get upset.

[/ QUOTE ]



Ok I can see that. I'll just chalk it up to the wierd way I view the world.

I have lots of fun playing City of Heroes and have been playing since the three day head start and have characters with over 900 hours on them, trialblazer badges, etc.

But, maybe just for me, it's an entertaining way to pass some time no different than picking up a book or watching some cable TV.

I'm so un-invested in my time that if they announced CoX was shutting down all the server tommorow I'd probably say, 'Oh well, was fun while it lasted.'

This probably scews alot of my responses from what is likely to be the norm. Chalk it up to me being wierd but it also means I find myself rarely using the words dissapointed, outraged, or betrayed.

Apathy FTW!

I'll be keeping an eye on this to see if the change hampers the gameplay too severely.

[/ QUOTE ]

Castle, I'm afraid the blaster community has likely heard "we'll keep an eye on it" or "we're looking at it" with no subsequent action to take any such statements very seriously.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's a game. You shouldn't take anything about it seriously.

All in all, I'm very dissapointed in this, and I know its going to influence some folks in my SG to suspend their accounts.

Ya know... a features update would be ideal for this... hint hint.

Mmmm, did you imagine they wouldn't?

You just have to wait for the feature updates for issue 9 sometime next year to get more answers.

Meh. Don't hold your breath waiting you might hurt yourself.

I would greatly appreciate someone from NC updating us on this debacle; it's just as simple as someone making a call to marketing and asking what the frag is going on...

I too would love an official update from a Red Name on this issue ...

If I was them I wouldn't.

You'll get over it eventually.
