  1. Reppu you did say some things ...a lot of things in the BM thread about performance. As I recall a red letter even said yes it is in fact under performing we see this etc....

    How is it then the fault of your fellow players that the devs decided not to change things when they knew they were off? The same goes for where the power for staff fighting is now as an average ST set and a average to good AOE set?

    I am saying people did tell the devs in PM's and here about the performance and they the "devs" decided not to make the changes.

    Stop blaming the players for the things the devs have control over and decided not to change please.

    Also, you know better than to post in dead threads.
    I am suggesting it become a new standard because of how effective it can be. There is nothing wrong with the devs improving communication.

    This thread was far from dead and if it was take you own advice.
  3. As Henry would have said, this has not been well handled.

    Baffling.

    Name-calling people who don't see a problem with the PS policies is no better than name-calling people who do. It's still uncivil and unnecessary.

    You are definitely baffled or looking for trouble if you took anything I said in the post here today as any kind of criticism. Saying there is a difference and pointing out something handled differently is not a criticism, just a statement of fact.

    The mouth piece deal must have seemed personal I am sorry not intended.

That necessitates their behavior.
    In the two "E" space game I have "NEVER"paid real life money to play the game in three years and that is on three accounts. Not a dime.

    There is no real money lost profit in that game because you cannot take the money out of the game you can just convert it and it is not viewed the same once converted and in the game. If you could convert the money back like in some games you would have a point, but you cannot.

    What "necessitates" their behavior is "a difference in philosophy" further evidenced by the players council and the other ways they interface with the community.

    Not really sure what plexes have to do with what I said since those are paid by people as a sub and then converted in game.

    That really has nothing to do with it, this is just a different philosophy in customer relations..

    The devs did a full pass on Psi Assault when they nerfed Psi Shockwave to heck and back, so not really sure where this nerf call for Drain Psyche is coming from.

    Totally as it is WAI.
  12. Each company has it's own way of dealing with the issue, to date for Paragon it's a non-issue and they are more than happy to see their mouth pieces trot out the EULA.

    The company that make the ruthless space game with two E's in it's name handle's it quite differently. They have on occasion provided free in game items for really bad overtime downtime's regardless of the reasons. The again if their downtime goes over by as much as five minutes they start apologizing and giving regular update's every 15 mins to an hour and the expected return time and tell you why they are down.

    They don't have to do any of that according to their EULA, they just have a VERY different philosophy regarding company and community interaction.

    But then when I get on my bots/traps I say the same thing.
    Thugs/Time and Bots/Traps are supreme AV killers.

    They were posted by one of the art guys from Paragon Studios here in a WIP type thread like Dinks. For some reason Z came by and nuked the thread saying they were not ready for prime time and they were removed.

    IDK, since they were WIP I have no idea why they were taken down they looked fine. Someone did suggest they may be holding them for some sort of contractual marketing release but IDK.

    Players were/are hyped up. I see "hype" as advertisements directly related to the marketing of the soon to be released product by the company.

    Just curious, have you run the new Energy Armor to 50 yet?

    Much anticipated by players you bet, hyped by devs no way Jose.

    The deal that started this line was really the fact that you have not tried the set yet you are incorrectly convinced it's the same mechanic. I thought that too before I tired it and once I did I realized the differences. DB plays on an specific chain as the devs said on coffee talk, but Street Justice does not. They may seem similar but they really are very different. Same with staff.

    Not trying to convince you to buy it, just that your assumptions like most are incorrect.

    Ok so that explains why Faultline is mounting Statesman.
