  1. Same here. That's been a chuckler for years.

  3. Ah, thanks. I had an SG-mate that was asking about this this morning. I'll pass it on (if he hasn't already seen it, because he does frequent the boards).
  4. Just an example. I ran a level 15 controller through an 8 man Posi (both halves) at the default settings a week or two ago. Came out two hours later as a level 20. Really, it's like the rails have been greased.
  5. Covering bases is good. I'm pretty sure you'll get a "thumbs up" confirmation.

    That's a good point, but the main problem there for me is that the declining server population makes it hard for me to find a team to do anything, really. Much less find TF teams to farm merits.
    What Panzer said. Standing in a zone saying "lft" in Broadcast is probably the least efficient way to team in this game. Join a good SG or use the server's global channel. It's the more efficient way.

    TheJazMan paints with a wide brush:

    Also, for TFs and SFs in general, how fun can they be when people do not go on them unless they can stealth all of the stealth-able missions?
    Many do do them without stealthing all the missions. Not everyone's a speed runner.

    Biospark notes:

    However, my feeling that just about every character I make that is role-play focused has to make "concessions" because the whole system is inherently "limited". Every MMO, in fact cannot hold a candle to the imaginations of the player base, so making any character will involve cutting corners.
    Right. So let's not add more corners to have to cut.

    Origin means nothing, that's WAI, let's leave it that way.

    I don't need pigeon-holing.

    Exactly, thank you Clebstein. I think they should have waited to make an appropriate change to solve whatever problem they had instead of destroying rewards across the board and then saying, "Too bad, dismantle your arc."
    Except they didn't say "dismantle your arc". That's YOUR choice, and a pretty poor one if the only difference is some xp.

    RedSwitchblade is number 30 with a bullet:

    Signed, but I'm waiting for the show-stopping poster with the 30-item bullet list as to why the devs will never implement it, complete with quotes
    You'd only see that if...:

    A. This didn't eat a respec.

    2. You wanted to keep more than 10 enhancements in your tray.

    Otherwise, I don't think anyone's got that list.
  12. Exactly. When going "over the top", it's usually best to go WAY WAY over the top. Half measures get lost.
  13. Right. You'll note I said they weren't particularly well staffed, not that they had less, on the weekend.

    Samuel_Tow wants reality:

    This is one of those lapses in canon that straight up boggles my mind. Just like Malta would never give a newspaper interview challenging a villain to a fight, so heroes would never be allowed to casually raid Crey property. What many writers forget (and this is something I brought up with an Architect author once), is that up until Countess Crey is arrested, Crey is still a legitimate business, and even AFTER she is arrested, her corporation still exist and continues to exist as a legitimate business, presumably run by a board of directors.

    Heroes very much CAN raid Crey property just in the same way as police can raid private property... If they are given a warrant to do so and official clearance from authorities permitted to do that. This used to be true in the old content, as most of the time when you enter Crey facilities it's either to protect them from other villains or to investigate, not to fight. And even when you go after arrests or seizures, that's usually done because there's a warrant issued to that effect.

    Crey ARE NOT a criminal organisation. Not in the same way as, say, the Council are. If they were, they'd have been shut down by the military and taken apart, not allowed to continue marketing products. Unless you have clear evidence of their wrongdoing, you can't just raid their facilities any more so than you can raid a Portal Corp facility because you needed to travel to Upsilon Beta 5 on the cheap.
    It's not a "lapse in canon", it's an homage. Breaking into the EEEEEEVIL corporation is a comic book standard.

    It's really a pretty cool idea except for what Bill said about the devs saying no MM-type controlling. That's what kills it.
  17. People who play with online virtual dolls don't get to make fun of what kind of online virtual dolls others play with.
  18. Oh, yeah, it's not always change for change's sake, but there have been things before that've made me scratch my head and say "Why?"

    Samuel_Tow has similar irritants:

    If I'd change anything, it would be to make the Seller and Buyer information available when you expand an item's info box. Right now it lists 0 and 0, forcing me to find the item in the Market if I want to see if anyone's bidding on it. I'd also like to have the ability to re-minimise the info of a piece that I've expanded. It makes it really annoying to scroll through the list otherwise.
    Man, /signed on both. They're not huge deals, but they are annoying.
  20. I hate the DSM. Sometimes I think they change the names of things to justify putting out another revised edition.
  21. Yeah, those driver dates are 2009 years old.
  22. I would assume that theoretically they'd be the same, but there'd be a lot of variation as to what KIND of damage.
  23. First off, it wouldn't be the devs getting back to you, it'd be the GMs. And when did it go? I don't think they're particularly well staffed on the weekends. You might have to wait until at least Monday to hear anything back.
  24. You MIGHT get some help here, but you'll have a better chance over on the Technical Issues and Bugs board.
