    Good lord...

    English isn't my first language either but I find it amazing that someone would think that was the original meaning for that word. Maybe it's because of my years, I learned it with its original meaning rather than the stupid derogatory one.

    Or maybe I'm more innocent than you.

    On a side note, very good lore writing. May I have some more please?

    Ooooo so many ways to go:

    - What great shape?
    - Yeah, I can see the type of exercise you practice: lifting pints.
    - Oh yeah, round is a shape too!
    - Yes, well... those sheep don't chase themselves.
    - Ah yes, I see a shape. It's underneath the fat.

    I could go on, but I won't. Damzy is too nice to be roasted.

    Will PS just suddenly one day say, "TA-DA! CoH is F2P, sign up now!" and the VIP server will suddenly be open or will they announce a date certain in advance?

    How much notice do you think we will get? Or will they just "TA-DA!" one fine morning?
    We'll get a "The servers are going down for maintenance in 5 minutes. Have a good day." warning.

    First mission is a kill all with nothing but Legacy Chain. If you run 2 BoB with a team of 8 you'll probably get those two badges.

I wish that my experiences matched that.
    I play on Defiant only, so trust me, I know what a low pop server feels like. However, I don't see villain side as being slow, but YMMV.

    That being said, good thing more ways of getting that badge are being introduced.

    Were those a problem? Two runs of Binder of Beasts and you get that badge.

    NCsoft, just merge some servers or something please...
    All servers went down today for a new hardware update. Hardly surprising to find them down, is it? Unless you expect hardware to be replaced with the computers on. Which, you know, can't be done.

    Also, the coloured lights next to the servers have less to do with how many people are logged in than they have to do with how much of a load the server can handle. Considering this is the second hardware update the servers have been subjected to, I think it's safe to assume the servers won't be going yellow or red in the foreseeable future, all other things remaining equal.

    I'd copy/paste the post explaining why merging servers is not also bad, but dumb, but I can't be bothered to go look for it.

    sucks when we got a day off and game is down for all day maintenance lol, although i do appreciate the hardware upgrades
    So instead of paying attention to the subject matter being taught you came to a game forum? If you were my student you'd be flunked so fast your head wouldn't have time to spin!

    Also, all servers went down today for a new hardware update. Hardly surprising to find them down, is it?

    EDIT - OMG! I've just read your other post, that is one of the subjects I used to teach! You are in such trouble right now young man! I'll give you a monotone voice!

    Don't be a silly ninny... half the fun is finding them. They don't need to have neon signs pointing to them or the soon to be ubiquitous coins. Besides, if you're a Vet player you a) already a have their location memorized by heart or b) have Vidiotmaps installed.

    Your suggestion would deprive newbs of the exhilaration* of finding an exploration badge on their own. So, no.

    Being poked to death or being LASERed to death, still leads to you being dead.


    Sidenote: You're still here? Wow.
  19. We now have three builds available. I've only ever used two, one for solo and one for team.

I think it is because the game is "old" and people know what they are doing, but does that mean there shouldn't be any plan?

    I was leading a Katie the other day. I literally gave one instruction in the first 3 missions. On the 2nd mission lead out I asked the team to fight their way down while I, the tank, grabbed her and started leading her back. Two people just ignored me and when I called them on why they were following me on said, "I have done this a hundred times, I am good" (obviously I wasn't asking who could survive to katie, so that wasn't the point) and the other said, "you don't need to give orders, just kill." Grrr

    I have also had people block me because on Lambda I split people into acid and grenade teams. When they were in the wrong place, I told them (Hey Captain Whatever, you are supposed to be at acids). You'd think I called his mother bad names.

    Maybe I am overbearing, but I REALLY don't think so.

    OK done with rant.

    I'd sacrifice the PANCAKE out of that.
