the French community on NA servers, grouped to a channel, always evolved around 40 people.
Now seriously decreasing since CO. -
Co's impact on the market is a valid topic.
What impact would it do the market if the the big players were leaving, and maybe so, putting their shinies back in WW, and/or give them to friends to keep/sell back?
unless i m kept atracted, as a 'big' player, i will move from cox, so here:
I have about 250 shinies, i ll give them to ppl to sell or keep.
(i mean purps, rares, uniques, etc)...
now, say there are 10 of us....(2500 shinies bk on the market)
what would be the impact?
The prices would drop down right away, since both the buyers and sellers would eventually leave.
So, WW could end up with a crafted apocalypse for 40 mill, or less.
That would mean, just in my opinion, the end of the golden age. -
Now, back to the OP:
I believe games are part of life, at least our lives.
Life as politics, socialties, wars, peace, etc...
So, if one's beliefs is that games are a part of life, they should be under the same contingencies as life in a random acceptation of the word.
I do believe it is appropriate to rate, observe, and eventually ban games,
the same way games ban gamers.
In other words, people here can red one's rep, because they are saying stupid things, in the readers eye. They certainly believe its "appropriate".
Even thouth, its NOT democratic.
Now, why a democraticaly elected governement wouldnt not apply the sorta same 'appropriate' measures?
In other words, do we want chaos?
I dont have any answer to that.
I will doubt those who have answers. -

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a 2x merits weekend instead of a 2x XP weekend,it would get a lot of players out of MA missions, and I can see a LOT of TF/SF being run,some of the TF would be a bit outragious,Dr. Q 244 Merits(based on new I16 numbers)
I would runa lot of ITFs/lady grey on both my heros and villians, so i would get a lot of inf/prestiage anyway.
Maybe we could by a lot of posters, get the DEVs to think about it? -
Basically, the mistake, if any, is :
AE release, THEN I16...
should have been:
I16, THEN AE release.
(I read everywere they had both in mind for ages)
This is not the devs, i presume, but the NC marketeers.... -

Hey, do you have a problem with EU-players ? You're posting everywhere to say "Look, you're less important than US-players for the devs". We know that for years, it's not your post that will change our mind on this fabulous game.
Especially since we had a all double-xp week that you hadn't. It's not a single weekend that will upset us not to be in the US.
And the poster above the poster above me...we share some views.
I am all french.
I love this game.
I happen to play on US servers.
I happened to be there on last double XP.
I happened to notice that the lag, rubberband, and so forth, were not worse than in the previous X2XP WE.
I happen to stick with the position who says (obove, somewere) that this 'gift' of XPX2' is another incentive for the gamers to stay playin' CoX.
I maybe made a mistake trying to help the Euro community, sayin' 'you guys are the fan base too, so, please...' claim your xpx2 too.
maybe we/you, the french, are the cowards they depict on ABC all day...
I still believe this game is getting outdated with those separed servers/chats/events.
I m into progress. one world. i mean equity, if any...
Now, if im the natural born troller, fair enough.
Since someone is a troll because he holds his ground, im the troller's king.
As much for the scared populace: 'living in fear wont avoid death'.
Im red carted allready, pinch me off.
I ll go own on CO.
PS: if i do, it wont be the devs, nor the content, nor the AE, and so forth....
it will be the players, the forumites, the hatred, the misunderstanding.
Now, you can burn me. yall owe me this: im meat for the carnage.
But do you have teeth? -

If I understood what I read about a value added tax (and I may very well not) it creates a deadweight loss without a shift in supply/demand, making me think it would be just a big influence sink in CoX.
im not an economist, but i got that pretty well, game mechanics create incidendal losses for the gamer to play longer.
basics. only degree i have is in intercourses -
maybe use that thing under your hair, behind your forehead, upon your nose... i cant recall the name of it... its grey. Besides, its prolly copyrighted.

Even though i play on US servers, im still EU, and i highly doubt this double XP thingy is anything but propaganda vs CO.
EU ppl play cox, play games in general, create games, and or distribute games... (EU companies such as Ubi soft, are about to launch Aion and more...)
And they (EU dudes) wont get the XP x2 event....
I dont know if the word 'derail' exist in english, still,
I believe that not being truthfully devoted to a (monthly paying) fanbase is a mistake, in any cases.
This is just my opinion. -
here is an example :

Due to the stability issues that occurred with the North American servers this past Double XP Weekend, we plan to offer another Double XP Weekend in North America after Issue 16 launches.
We would like to take this opportunity to apologize to those of you who were unable to enjoy the event as a result of this, and would like to thank you for your patience as we work to resolve these types of issues in the future.
We appreciate your continued support.

I do not think NC will need any laws to shut EU servers.
They will shut them when it wont be profitable anymore.
And i believe that its sooner than later.
So don't hide behind ur shadows, 'hommies'. -
To the OP: everyone here is a farmer, so, mind be more precise?
Badge farms, XP farms, tickets farms, forums farms, pvp farms, Tf farms?

Double XP at I16 launch
Only apply to US servers....

1) Unbalanced how? If you're talking about classes, it's up to the team leader to make that balance. If they can't do it when i16 hits, they can't do it now. With MORE people to pick from, if anything it'll be MORE balanced. I don't have to pick people just in the 30-32 range. I can reasonably pick people at any level. That doesn't mean I'm FORCED to bring along level 1s and make the experience awful for everyone. It means I can take someone who's 25, or 35, and not have to settle for what's available in my range. If I need a Controller, I can broaden my range, instead of having to wait for one to log on.
2) How? At worst people will just be SKed to -1 the leader. We can already do this.
3) This already happens, so nothing will be changing. Level 1s will still go try to get easy levels in PI, and be ignored. Meanwhile, the rest of us will enjoy the ease and freedom of a larger pool to pick up teammates from.
4) How will this make it take LONGER? I will much more easily be able to form a team out of the classes I need. And again, I'm not FORCED to bring people that are so low that they can't help. If the team leader is running a 40ish team and invites level 5s, that's their fault, not the system. It will only slow teams down if they're poorly-built, which is the LEADER'S fault.
5) Nothing will ever remove farming. But nobody ever claimed the SSK would eliminate farming.
Oops, one major point you made: we can broaden the team range...
And can have black imps on top...
Sorry, but this is just my opinion, and i still believe its not a serious new Issue. -

Another, albeit very minor, problem is that given the information I've read once you join a team you'll automatically be SK'd to the appropriate level. That means that if you're out of range so the team leader can't select you, you could be level two and when that "35+ only" message comes across broadcast you could send your tell saying "level 35 Defender!". Once you're invited the only way the leader has of verifying your level is checking your info (takes a while during a fight) or waiting to watch how you play. In either case it might be too late and your inability to pull your weight could already have cost someone some debt.
Without SSKing, you get on the team, you're selected and automatically shown to be a lvl 2. You're then kicked.
Like I said, very minor problem. Still, it will happen and it will be annoying for team leaders on raids.
The other obvious scenario is when the level 2 (or 10 or 20 or whatever you think is too low) comes up and sees there's a raid in progress and does their "Level 40 Tank, LF Raid Team!" Someone already in the middle of the fight could really be counting on that tank to be level 40, invites them without having time to verify 'cuz they're already in a huge fight, and the next thing you know the fake level 40 tank wipes and takes the rest of the team with him.
Not likely to be common, but it will happen. Just sayin'.
Robin
(Oh, and for full disclosure: I think the whole side kick/exemp change idea is awesome and I couldn't be happier with it.)
1/ Teams will be totally unbalanced,
2/ The SSK'ing system will bring PL all over the place, in every mission, every zone, every streethunt team.
3/the broadcast will soon be filled with "lvl 1 is LFT", even in Talos,PI...
4/it will be time consuming for team leaders, the lobies will still die 1st, and numerously, this will slow everyone's pace.
5/It wont remove farming, as in : 'farming for purps, drops, badges,and lvls'.
So yeah, nice idea, PL all over, not just in Atlas anymore.
I don't like I16, i want content, i get none.
