ROFLMAO!


Let me guess. You wanted to play on Freedom.

Here's some advice. Go play on another server.


He actually thinks that merging the servers and forcing more players onto the high pop servers is going to solve the overpopulation problem on a 2xp weekend.

Wow.

OP, I don't know where to begin to correct you.

At least I know where to begin posting on the new forums!

This is the sort of post that's best used for a drinking game.

- For every misspelling, take a drink.
- For every misuse of punctuation, take a drink.
- For every demonstrably incorrect assertion, take two drinks.
- Every time the OP demonstrates a complete ignorance of how a game mechanic works, take two drinks.
- If you're not even sure what a sentence is supposed to mean, finish the glass.

For best results, play with friends and combine with a dramatic reading of the post.

What.. I love... about people.. like this... is how they... can say such blunt... and pigheaded things... but use so many elipses... that it reads like... an emo boy... moments from ... getting out the razor... to make little scratches... where their parents can't ... see them...

Seriously, Fyre. One period is enough. You've used up your quota and I am afraid I have to take away your keyboard now.

There is no expectation of freedom of speech on a private forum- you're allowed to say what the mods and admins are comfortable with, nothing more.

*lol* I snorted laughing so hard at this.

*snicker* See I was a cutter, only I actually left real scars - the ones with the knitting needles left those. But see then later in life? I got tattoos. And they're full of awesome, and alleviate my need to be all self-deprecating and emo. Thank goodness.

Why is it people always gotta say CRYPTIC?

PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE!!!!

CRYPTIC GOT BOUGHT BY ATARI MONTHS AGO.
PRIOR TO THAT THEY SOLD CITY OF HEROES TO NCSOFT.

Now you are up to date, and when you want to whine about something you can simply say...

"Gosh is NC getting lazy"

and then I can say, Hmmm. No not really... Since they have taken over the game they have paid more attention to it than Cryptic ever did. Like they are giving us a Color customization, something people have been asking for forever... and they are giving us a new boxed expansion called Going Rogue, with new zones (yes plural), new power sets, and loads of new features...

So when YOU say, "Nc is being lazy..."

I just sit here and laugh at you, not with you.
Have a nice day, and UPGRADE your computer.

If it's an ISP issue, router issue (as in internet, not as in wireless thing you have in your house), or even backbone server issue (rare, but it does happen), then grousing at the NCsoft team is useless because the lag is not their fault.

Just something to consider.

When everyone on the server starts saying "I'm mapservering every two seconds" and it's happening to me, I'm pretty sure it's not ISP or internet. We're probably coming from very different route paths and have different ISPs.

However, I have reason to believe that there is a problem with the network at the co-loc facility where NCSoft has it's West Coast servers. I've suspected it for years and there's alot of data to support it. While I recognize they probably have limited control over that, as they can just call and grouse to their service provider, the ball is still quite firmly in their court.

I find it quite interesting that since the OP's post he hasnt come back to defend his allegations.

Well that's how true dev sloth starts - you stop to have a life away from development for a few hours 1 weekend and next you know you don't give a rat's...

Now if they can only rename Paragon Studios to Cryptic the OP begins to look so prophetic.

No.

Really it does.

my standard response to the question: "is someone lazy" is "probably" regardless of the person. I suppose I could check who/what the person, whoever that may be, is asking about, but I am in fact, too lazy to bother.


@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.
