    If by "exactly" you mean "vaguely", I agree.........

    "Personal attack power: Flaming whip"

    SOLD! ( I would request customization to at least make it a flaming chain whip, though. Would so totally fit one of my characters I'll have to reroll for the set anyway. )

    Funny thing is, they were already changed to give their number sooner once. Ages ago, it took a LOT longer to get that out of them...

    And "fun" in a totally different kind of annoying way, the "Hunt X Council" that's followed up by "Hunt Y Council" and then "Hunt Z Council". Bloody hell, just tell me how many I have to hunt up front and be done with it.
  6. Yeah, something's screwed up. You should be able to make both heroes and villains no matter what edition you buy these days.

    What's not to understand. It doesn't solve any problems, only delays them very slightly. Plus, it creates all kinds of new balance issues.

    Server populations are still doing just fine, thanks. Just more reason for people to be inside missions rather than street sweeping these days. As for the dots on the server list, that's server load, not population.

    Pretty much the way it is. When a game raises the level cap, people hit it within a couple weeks and start complaining about being bored again, anyway. The uberguilds power through the content so fast that the level cap raise was pretty much pointless. All it does is create a race to be able to claim you were the first to the new cap.

Any player that considers it rude to receive a tell when their team search is set to the default of "not seeking" is being overly sensitive.
    I didn't say "not seeking" was the same status as "do not accept invites". I had mentioned being on "not seeking" with a status comment making it clear that you didn't want to team, though...

    Here we go... This kind of attitude simply reinforces my opinion that some people go out of their way looking for something to be offended about so they can get all self-righteous over the perceived slight.

    "People like that" is not an insult. It is not derogatory.
    Never said it was. There goes that overactive imagination again...


    Quote:
    It was simply referring to other players that don't want to be bothered while solo or performing some other type of activity. I have been known to be one of those "people like that" myself. Which is why I use the hide function when I don't want to be bothered.
    Which is fine. However, that doesn't mean I shouldn't be irritated by lack of courtesy all the same if I don't place myself on hide. This isn't about how to hide under a rock from the lack of courtesy. It's about the lack of courtesy in itself.

    And, yet, people still send those on not accepting invites and/or who have "not looking for a team" status messages all the time.

    Finding something rude and annoying isn't "getting all worked up". Drop the hyperbole, it only damages your point.

    And "people like that"? People who want to be shown the simple common courtesy of others respecting their expressed wish to be left alone? How horrible for them.

    Raising the level cap won't do a thing to fix this. If you're bored with the game at 50, you'll be bored with it at 60. Level cap raises aren't even a band-aid fix.

    There is if the person is either set to "not accepting invites" or has a search comment that states clearly that they don't want to team. ( assuming they haven't been broadcasting for an invite or some such )

    No, we won't. The devs have said time and time again that this will not happen. A level cap raise doesn't solve any problems that can't be solved by simply adding more content for the existing levels.

    What other methods might those be? Randomly sending people tells or, worse, blind invites is more likely to land you on their ignore lists...

    Soloing actually "cuts it" very well in this game for most characters. Far better than in most MMOs. Still, best way to level is just to run missions. Either solo or advertise in broadcast for a group. Don't be in too much of a hurry to get to 50. The game's really more about the journey than the destination.

    The category that counts is further down the page where it lists the award level and when it was (or will be) awarded. If the date shown for your 12 month award is in the past then yes, you have reached it. If it's not, then you haven't earned the award yet and you got it through the bug I mentioned.
    All this is moot, though, because he's showing the badge in his badge window and can claim it on some of his characters, which means he has been awarded the 12 month vet reward...

    Other way around. Jump Pack is 10-14, Rocket Pack is 5-9.

    I felt the same way when an ex step-dad talked me into trying out Everquest back on 2000. I've been playing MMOs ever since. I've had good times, made some good friends, even met a ( now ex-) girlfriend through MMOs. No matter what the /b/ rejects spout, MMOs are just as valid a social gathering as any other.
  21. FYI, this is standard practice for MMOs ( The pay to play ones, at least ).

    Just name yourself something similar to "Psychotti" if you want to run into a lot of those.
  23. Most populated also means most likely to be laggy during "rushes".

    I have the trail verson I dont know if that has anything to do with it
    I don't quite follow what your problem is here...

    Every other level ( 2, 4, 6, etc ) you get a new power. The odd levels, you get slots for powers ( 2 per odd level ) to put enhancements into ( Which are items that improve certain aspects of the powers ). ( The pattern changes, but not until well after the trial level cap )

    When you're at a new power level and you choose a new power, the hotbutton for it will automatically go into your power tray. ( Unless it's an auto power, which is always on and, thus, doesn't have a hotbutton )

    No idea if any of that covered what you were looking for...
