Yes but it doesn't need to be the same group every time. And if it is to be the group why the hell should we pay the same money for this game that you do when we get less for it.


NCSoft is getting extra money from all the foreign susbscribers. Hell I've forked out almost $1,200 to them just me alone. Are you telling me it is not right for them to make some extra effort regarding us for that money? And who says it "has" to be done during US business hours. We pay for this service too you know. Do you think it right they take our money then just ignore our needs as customers too?

And anyway we're not even asking them to pay for overtime for this. Shifting the time around during the standard eight hour day would be plenty. Surely not a big ask?

Sorry but there is major flaw in that argument. We may be a smaller segment of their customer base but we are paying the exact same as you for this game so why should we have less consideration?

NCSoft are happy to take money from people in different time zones shouldn't that also mean they could use some of that extra income to do work out of hours so that we aren't the ones constantly being kicked off? And even if they didn't do it out of hours theres a six hour block during the workday that this work could be moved around in without paying any overtime. Either that or charge us less for the incovenience of it always being us that gets shafted.

I know you yanks think we are just winging but consider this. In the last three weeks 70% of the times my mates and I have tried to play we've been kicked off for a shutdown. There would be a meltdown if that happened to the main playerbase. Yet some of you have the temerity to come into these threads about it saying "thats the way it is deal with it". Our $15 a month gives us a right to voice our concerns to NCSoft just as yours does you.

All decent points Lemur. Which unfortunately don't mean a hell of a lot when for us down under 4 out of the last 5 times we've tried to play the server has shutdown right in the middle of our prime playing time.

When you also count the fact that for two of my mates and myself rearranged our lives to play together on the initial DXP weekend to find it suddenly moved to dates none of us could play at all it makes all the reasonable excuses under the sun very ineffective.

Yes thats normal. You are always charged influence whenever you make changes to your costumes in the tailor. You can of course use one of your tailor tokens instead.

Naive comments like this drive me wild. Not everyone wants to spend their entire time playing the game waiting for bids in WW to go off. When we get to the point where we want to set out our characters we may have over a hundred or so recipes to make enhancements to fill all our slots. And each one of those recipes may require 4 or 5 salvage purchases. Now as we only have a limited amount of slots to use in WW imagine how long it would take us to make all those recipes if we forced ourselves to wait for every piece of blasted salvage that way. People who play the game only a few hours each week don't want to spend half that time checking WW and putting in their next 20 bids. Not the mention the weeks or months it will take to set out a toon that way.

Marketeers make their billions by screwing over the casual player. And worse they even have the nerve the blame their victims for being impatient. The comeback "you don't have to pay these prices" does not absolve you from setting them so high in the first place.

The seller sets the price. Simple as that. He may not get any buyers but he still sets it. He may then reduce it till he gets buyers but he is still setting the price. If the buyer was then items would be selling for a lot less than they seem to end up being traded for.

It certainly used to be. Since Going Rogue though the number of Aussies playing on Justice has dropped dramatically. It's gotten to the point that a mate and I have taken advantage of the half price period and transferred our two main toons from there to Freedom.

This ^^^^^^

Why the hell do we have to agree to the terms and conditions EVERY time we play? You only need to agree to them once for crying out loud. It should not ask you again unless they have changed.

No other game or program I have ever played/used has forced you to agree to them every single time. There can't be any legal reason for this or they would all do it.

This confuses me. Since it takes more than 24 hours to get the second merit doesn't that mean that the first is invalid? Also wouldn't it have been nice for a message to pop up saying I only have XX hours to spend said merit? How else would I know about it?

Not even close to being true. On average I spend around the 300 mill mark to apply full sets to most powers. I will always buy recipes rather than crafted when available but it is certainly doable with that amount of money.

Now this of course doesn't mean you can't spend billions setting out a character but you certainly fill up a toon with decent sets for under 400M. No purples obviously or the odd really expensive unique but enough to make most toons able to waltz through missions.

Quoted for agreement...
