    Roleplay. "Enroll in the legion to combat the living darkness from beyond outer space" translates to "login, LFT, go, hunt, kill Skuls."

    It raised all new forms of hell on the forums, Facebook, etc. Zwillinger pulled the discussions and is now trying to retcon the idea with the Devs. The goal was to use a badge to lure off-server players to a populated server in order to do a high load test, under real world conditions, during an event. The public response was less than enthusiastic.

    Keep your eyes open today for additional news on this.

  3. I'm somewhat sure I can attend; I think I might have a party earlier that evening, so I'll followup to confirm.
  4. Yo, E:

    I'm late shifting tonight, and I have some items to attend to post-work before I can sit down for gaming. If I'm not there by 1030 sharp, assume I'm Turging out. :P

    I need to quit my job. Srsly.

    Reading Slash's comments...well, I'm amused. He/She says many of the same things that the most successful leaders of our history have said.

    The Populous needs to be guided. The working class needs their boundaries.



    --I had typed something really, really mean right here, but I've changed my mind. It's not worth it.--

    Where the heck did this crap come from that activating your Destiny power is contributing to the lag? I can't even begin to tell you how flawed that thinking is. Might as well tell people that a fire blaster's Rain of Fire or a defender's Shadow Fall causes lag. Maybe we just all take down Hami with the Rocks that are dropped during special events.

    I think what really burns me is that you are accusing Lieran of trying to grief the Hami raid. Here's some things we need to get out of the way first...
    • Lieran is my friend and I will fiercely defend her against all comers.
    • Lieran is one of the most contributing members of the Freedom server that I have ever encountered.
    • Lieran is one of the most friendliest and easy-going members of the Freedom server

    Now on to what I've got to say. Who in the world are you to threaten to "blackball" anyone from future Hami raids? What divine authority has invested you with the mantle of leadership? I certainly missed that announcement from the Devs.

    I've been on this server for over six years now and I've seen all kinds of "griefing" happen during a Hami raid (Section's post has the most beautiful method I've ever been witness to). Monsters spawning, stealth blaster's spamming Confront in a crowd full of squishes, worthless pet spawning...you name it, I've seen it.

    I have no idea what your global is or what toons you have on Freedom...frankly, I don't care. All I know is that when players like you start to shout out orders backed up by threats, it brings out the creative in me. I'll do everything in my power to force that wrench between the rusty gears that you call a team.

    Sorry if my thoughts seem distracted, I'm doing something more important right now like watching the hockey playoffs. I have no idea what the heck the Caps are doing going down three in the series against Tampa but they need to start playing like the #1 Eastern Conference seed. My Blues never made it so I've got to cheer for someone...I've finished cheering for Boston as they have already eliminated the Habs and I've been feeling patriotic this week.

    Man, Tundy must be going nuts right now.

    Oh, yeah...I forgot about un-important you. I'm standing by my friend, who I know and trust. You managed to come off as some self-important hack who desires nothing more than to establish your own little "virtual empire" by threat of ostracism.
    My takeaway from this thread is that piccie. Great find, Customs.
  6. Huh, just realized there was a "don't wanna hunt grays" stipulation. If that's the case, hire some mercs to go, hunt, kill Nems.
  7. I still have great luck just leisurely circling the lower portion of PI. YMMV, but if I had to do it, that's where I'd start: Pegging targets of convenience, as I pick off other targets (Zeus Titans, Master Illusionists, etc).

    I live to serve. Glad you enjoyed.
  9. Thanks for the signup. I THINK I'll be there, but I'm late shifting that night, so if I end up being late, just roll on w/o me. See you Wednesday!

    I'm of the opinion that this would be an understated value for him as well.

    Unless it's pertinent to your request. I think the topic applicability earns him a pass, DG.

    This, really. It's not too hard to get the mish, although you're still waiting on the tip drop through mob killing. If you're impatient, whack lowbies 20+ in bulk. If you want something more profitable, do missions at your skill level (at lvl 50, you'll get your chance drops at purple recipes, incarnate shards, etc).

    I've seen your teams, Res. I don't think Kate's looking for the WTF badge quite so early in her reintroduction to the game.

    (And no, I didn't mean "Weekly Task Force".)

    BTW, OP: Regarding leveling up, it's a common request to "power level" to 50. If this would be your first time, I'd recommend against it. Leveling occurs quite speedily these days, so "regular" teaming will get you to the high 40s within the month. For a player reacquainting themselves with the game, I'd go natural the first time out: Get the feel of the game dynamics, the various AT roles, your powersets, time to ask questions as you go, etc, especially if your highest toon was only lvl 10.

    You might want to include your global here, or in your signature, to let others know how to find you too. That's the best way to reach people in-game, since you can chat with them no matter what toon they're on, good OR evil.

    Cheers!

    -T.
  15. Seconded. Same team, same zone, same OMG WANNA KILL A PUPPY.

    Heya:

    Was the source of this slot loss/gain ever tracked down? I'm having some confusion with NCSoft support on this matter, where I'm waiting for an annual anniversary slot to be awarded (I'm well past my anniversary now), but they state that I received it earlier this month.

    Was the bug earlier this month related to the vet reward status being triggered earlier than it should have been? Or was it related to something on the Store side? If the latter, then I should still have a vet reward slot waiting to be awarded, right?

    Hello

    Welcome back, Kate. You're coming back at a good time; starting Tuesday (officially, but it may be delayed if there's a problem), they're combining the server lists for NA and EU, so you'll have a total of 15 servers to choose from, including the UK servers. You can hit either side of the Atlantic now, depending on your time zone and friend availabilities.

    If you need something, don't be afraid to ask. Welcome (back) to Freedom!
  18. I think I can slip in here tonight. Just got home, napped half the drive (when I wasn't driving of course), so I might be wired tonight. If I do come, it'll be with Supreme Soviet.

    Or, what is the earliest date someone should be receiving this?

    According to my account, I should receive on the 29th.
    Officially, the 28th; but there are a batch of us who "drifted" in either direction over the years. Before the big correction last year, I'd drifted all the way to around the 4th of the month, getting it 3 weeks ahead of schedule. They've "fixed" everyone for the most part, but I'm getting it about a week ahead of schedule still.

    I haven't heard of people drifting backwards (getting the reward later) since their big correction though.

    THAT's what I was thinking of, thanks Chad. So... I wonder if I should /bug the non-award?... or is that me being greedy?... I could answer "yes" to both...
  22. Excellent suggestions, ZM. Floatbooks might be the one to go with for me...

    You think there's suppose to be a unique new emote for this Vet power? That's the first I heard about that. Sure it would be cool but I'm not exactly sure that's going to happen. I suppose we'll see - maybe it's buried in the upcoming patch as an "undocumented" feature.
    1. Yeah, I got a slot gift around the beginning of the month. I seem to recall others got something similar though, so I didn't make the mental connection with that bug and the 7 year slot gift until today. Wasn't there something screwy with the NC Store this month?...

    2. I said "yet" by way of optimism, I just want to be clear. Try not to read too much into my childlike hope.

    Oh, I make no suggestions, I just figured this is too good a thing to NOT make an emote for.

    I like the idea of comboing it with the AE Tablet too. Hmm. /e laptop would work just as well too...

    New thread: Good emote to use for /auctionhouse?
