  1. What I'm saying is that you should just be able to add a new credit card to your account and be ready to roll. Either way you like it, welcome back.

    Burned Out

    I got one in, so I felt lucky.

    I figured it was the easiest way to do some damage on the last assist badge so I jumped on as many as I could. As of last night I was 45/50 on that last badge.

    But now I'm finding myself really burnt out - to the point where I was getting really frustrated during the runs.

    I know people sometimes do silly things, but when a team leader politely asks you -not- to do something, and then you do it anyways... ugh.

    Just venting x.x
    Don't even kid about taking a break. I need you right where you are.
  4. Oh I need to find something that makes money again.
  5. I don't know what you're talking about, but if you PM me your e-mail I can send you an "Invite Back" code.

    I've attempted that TF several times before. And I've never heard of any of these NPCs before, either.
  7. I don't give a rodent's posterior about the favicon being broken. The forums are coasting past their six month anniversary of craptacular broken-ness.

    Where does it say that? I've never seen that before. It's wrong, or you're looking at the wrong table. Isn't 2-3 shards the standard rate for Uncommon Salvage? Hero One DNA Sample is Common. 1:1.

    Apex SF sucks!

    I just want to know why the blue death patches don't draw on my computer. I can't avoid what I can't see.
  10. Is it still better to eat a bunch of blues, purples, and breakfrees and go into Rest?

    I broke down a 3 honoree blood samples and infinite tell and I only got 3 shards total.

    I've always agreed with the 50% camp, but as to the OP--did you not even bother reading the recipe? It SAYS it's only a 1:1 conversion. You got what you clicked.
  12. I don't think the forums could handle all the costume assets in the game.
  13. Who has two thumbs and answers your question? THIS THREAD!

    Good to know, the particle/item effects are a bit sketchy on my old machine. I guess that's one that I can't see. Cool!

    Let me clarify by saying that I'm fully aware that the web staff are completely unrelated and distinct from the WTF programmers, who are probably also completely unrelated and distinct from the folks who handle veterans rewards. And, that my statement could be analogous to, "He doesn't know the capitol of Vanuatu? Pfft! He probably can't even roll his tongue, or make a decent pot of chili."

    I'm just saying that, in the grand scheme of things, I imagine a bug like this is going to be considered de minimis.

How do I go about that?

    Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
    I had to turn mine on, on the mini-map. Do you have that option?

    Are you kidding, Loth? They can't even get their forums to work correctly.

    In any case, I'm still pleasantly looking forward to more WTFs and Incarnate stuff. I just wish I was equally afforded the opportunity to gain a few more Notices myself. Given that it's a bug, I guess we're all just as likely as the next person to receive it.
  18. Yay!


    So what's the most efficient way to farm these stupid things these days? In a few weeks, I should earn the ten million damage badge on my main and primary character who I've been playing since April of 2004. At this rate, it'll take another (9*7) sixty-three years.

Also, if you use super speed and run back and forth in front of the ATM machine, you will see money fly out. I hope the devs never take those out of the game. ( And the bowling alley next to the Atlas Hospital has authentic 'ball knocking down pin' noises too. The ouside cafe in Faultline has the sound of chattering people, music and clinking dishes.) I just wanted to add these things for new folks who didn't know about them.
    I've never seen money fall out of the ATMs. Is that like the cows?

    As part of the Due South reference to the Mountie in Faultline, you can hear his dog loudly barking inside his trailer. Also, the bathroom dev's dungeon in Grandville is another example of atomic flatulence in game.

    In the end, it shouldn't really be a big deal. Everybody else will just have it next week anyway. lol
    It shouldn't matter because gating content on a TIMER just sucks.

    If someone runs back-to-back TFs, all day long they deserve the rewards. The only reason I'm upset (and mildly so at that) is because time-gating stuff is just...yuck.

    Nobody is trying to game the system or get double rewards.

    Obviously the reason people are doing it before unlocking their alphas is because they want double rewards, right? Thats the reasoning behind all the snarky comments, implying that people are stupid or greedy or trying to cheat somehow?

    Not because it is TOTALLY and COMPLETELY unclear that running the weekly TF before you even CAN GET THE REWARD locks you out for the week from getting the reward when you can.

    I didn't say anything in reply to the same type of comments in my rant about this topic earlier, mainly because my purpose was to see if anyone else was as ticked off as I was about not being EXPLICITLY told that the MAIN REASON anyone is doing these TF's, the Notice drops, is unobtainable to anyone who has run the TF before they are even able to open their alpha's or have not yet opened their alpha's.

    In point of fact, I think its even more telling that the reply to my support rant to NCSoft about this very issue included a red-faced, "Yeah, we know that it was not clear at all to the players and this type of information is critical to people so they can maximize their time and efforts in-game."

    I'm willing to bet that very few, if any of the people spouting off about how people are trying to "game the system" or implying that people who didn't know this was the case are stupid didn't know about it as an issue until they either read a rant in the forums or heard it from someone who had it happen to them.

    I seriously doubt that anyone who had it happen to them are posting that anyone is trying to game the system in any way.

    Seriously, why do you think any of us did those SPECIFIC TF's during those SPECIFIC weeks, for the double merit rewards?
    I read the instructions. Though I'm beginning to think I was in the minority.
