    This just in, Going Rogue's price has increased 28,000%. While I'm all for commercials for CoX, we don't have the stupidly disposable budget that WoW does.
  2. I have seen too many SGs torn apart because someone feels guilty telling someone else to grow up. Kick them, and make your SG a better place.
  3. What does she say to you now?

    Scroll down all your active and inactive contacts. Do any have small book icons next to them?

    If so, you'll have to clear those by completing the story arc. Following that, you should at the very least be able to complete a Safeguard Mission and select her as a contact.

    A merger of what?

    This is why I find conspiracy theories so laughable. Clinton couldn't hide an intern under his desk, and I'm supposed to believe that [insert religious group] lead by [insert political figure] collaborated with the [insert color] aliens and their secret agent [insert political figure] to assassinate [insert movie star] and take out the World Trade Center?

    A super hero, by their very nature, is somewhat attention-drawing. I don't think it would take very long for anyone who crossed from Youtube feature into mainstream celebrity to be outed/celebritized.

    I have characters with "block all e-mails" who still receive spam e-mail. They just can't check it anymore.

    Yes, Ted, that was the joke.

    To appropriately answer your question, I'd like it clarified. I recognize that this is just my opinion, but so is the entirety of this thread. I have several level 50's (and plenty of 40's, 30's, etc.), but only two are hardcore IOd. The remainder function quite well with basic SO/IO builds that cost well under 50 mill. or so. It seems to me that being able to completely SO/IO a level 50 character and still have some left over is "plenty rich." Since I consider myself a "hard core" player, I would assume that a preponderance of the game population have similar playstyles in scope to my "Diet SO/IO lite" stylings.

    If I missed your definition, please clarify it--and I'll be happy to clarify my answer for you superior amusement.

  13. Didn't mean to step on any toes, Bill, but I would qualify a few hundred million as being plenty "rich" enough to manage about 85% of what the game offers, even fancy IO sets. I frankenslotted IO'd my old villainous main completely out the wazoo for less than 50 million.

    If you want to achieve that last 15% of the game shenanigans, you're expected to expend at least a little effort. At least, I do.

    I was just thinking of you yesterday.





    Bet you're wondering what I was thinking of.

    I get by decently as a 30 month Vet with 10 50's and all 36 of my character slots filled on Virtue, but at times I struggle to even begin to slot a build the way I planned it. So imagine for a second what it would be like to be a new player looking at the market and seeing 100's of millions of influence for one thing and then their bankroll barely breaking a million. (If they are lucky)
    You failed right there. Honest to god, how can you play this game for two and a half years, have 10 level 50's, and not be rich beyond your wildest dreams? What are you doing with it?

There are always going to be farms, and people using exploits to gain certain advantages. It's part of any game. Live with it. Let them do as they will, stop it when you can, delete the farms as they appear, but stop messing with the game structure just to try and nerf them. It always seems to cause some sort of stability issue, and honestly in the end you end up with more players angry that you bugged their game than those angry that you nerfed their farm. Just some food for thought.
    Interesting read. Not that you asked, but I feel the complete opposite. A small group of people caused this, and it wasn't the devs.
  19. No, you aren't the only one. You may find some helpful tips in the other threads on this.

    This isn't a shaky foundation, this is a hole in a screen door. I used hyperbole in my post, yes...but to suggest that there is some quantity of innocence intervening on behalf of those who used the exploits because the Devs deserved it for making, in your words, something broken is just... Wow.

    Patch notes??

    This valuable time that would have normally been devoted to getting I17 and GR our to you for free and for minimal cost, respectively, was devoted to fixing a stupid loophole, and is proudly brought to you largely on the behalf of lame sploiters and noobs. Thanks gang, hope you enjoy!
  22. Mass bumping, request for personal redname address, and standard code rant. This thread just went solid gold.
