see that is something I have been debateing. if I run tough, weave, combat jumping, and hotfeet at the same time i tend to burn end really fast like withing 10 to 15 seconds. I have stamina 3 slotted for end reduction with 25 lvl ios. I could pop some 30's int there but no sure its that big of a difference.

I would suggest not taking the fighting pool until you hit level 35 and get transference. After you get transference, respec into the fighting pool.

Life: STD with 100% fatality rate.

Once upon a Positron there was a bug. It's purple Mankey liked saving walruses deaths. Until a green shoe fell off a pretty cloud of root beer fluff cleaving off seven little toes while chewing Bubblegum. After seeing the drunk Pinnacle-ite puke chunky bits of magnets, it stumbled into a garbage carafe. Feeling pretty depressed, it died a Lonely death.

Elsewhere, there were some hungry hippos dancing on me for every time one slurps from the fountain of Wayne. In the early dawn, sirens wailed under a pale little moon made of nothing. People thought they saw Ghost Widow munching on Doritos with Valerie. But it wasn't Doritos, it was a magical corncob that sexy Jay designed with care.

This time, she wanted 12 umpa-loompas and 5 slimy Pterodactyls with Listerine. Suddenly the wizard Spanksalot grumbled with great big annoyance. Dirty scoundrels sacked small vermin left by evil midgets wearing pink Fedoras and speedos. However, Elvis wasn't having cheesecake; he stopped to adjust Stacy's corset that had melted rubber down its frog but sadly, he died.

Cheney shot the lawyer in the buttocks with spitballs made of recycled garbage with asparagus. After blowing the mayor, he loaded up 12 hundred bucks obtained illegally so he licked garbage which Statesman tossed overseas. I then drank sour kiwi Rum. Drunken Avenger then sang Imagine. Afterward, Lily Tomlin beheaded the Tele-tubby while it sat eating pickled beets.

Next, Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockheart, Vincent Valentine and Yuffie Kisaragi took Aeris Gainsborough out cold.

Considering everything that transpired, little foot sat on his behind waiting for apples. Eskimo kisses tickled my tootsies unmercifully. Eventually, they screamed bloody Sunday until one benevolent little prince started rubbing knobs

What you want is not a chest symbol

[/ QUOTE ]

Wrong. It is. Someone above suggested having it added as something that you would put on TOP of another symbol, but I never suggested any such thing. I want the NO Symbol as a symbol by itself. Nice attempt at putting words in my mouth though.

The first comment however may be applicable, but that's for the higher powers to decide.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why do you want a circle with a slash through it, but nothing under it? No breathing?

[ QUOTE ]
Th hating on this thread is ridiculous. He's asking for another chest symbol, for more costume options, and being polite and slightly humorous about it.

In the spirit of the OP, I'd personally like Jay to do whatever it takes so that the actual image used (with the thumbs up hand and all)can be added to my toons chest.

Say Yes to Yes to No!

Eco.

Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, he's the one who got me hooked on FF. This has nothing to do with it though, but I'll yield, and let higher powers decide.

but you may not create a ‘petition’ for others to sign. This is bumping in disguise and will not be allowed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nothing to sign here, no request to "bump" anything, hence no petition. Heck, if anything, the only bumping around here are you and me having this conversation, so thank you.

[/ QUOTE ]

According to that section, a petition is bumping in disguise.
Petition != Bumping, bumping is caused by posting a petition.

I've seen threads that campaign, or petition for a change, such as you've posted get locked .... Such as this or this.

The reason that rule is worded like that is because someone can come in here and post /sign. Bumping is the side effect of posting a petition.

There is already a precedent set for NCSoft using its own terms beyond the terms found in the dictionary:

I'm slightly amused now. Pray tell, what do you think their definition for petition is?

[ QUOTE ]
You probably shouldn't try to use outside definitions when the moderators have already created and explained their OWN definition. I'm pretty sure that they'll use their own definition over the one that you pull from another source.

Why so much hate against "No"? I don't get it...

Petition: [ QUOTE ]
1. A solemn supplication or request to a superior authority; an entreaty.
2. A formal written document requesting a right or benefit from a person or group in authority.

[ QUOTE ]

So, I am now beginning a campaign, the "Say 'YES' to NO!" Campaign!

We will ask, beg and plead for Sexy Jay to add the simple International No Symbol to the "City of" chest detail options.

If you would like to join our campaign, simply add this image to your signature as a link (tinyURL included for your convenience - http://tinyurl.com/yestono ), using for the text "Say YES to NO, Sexy Jay!". If you're not sure how much space you have left in your signature, you could always use FOE to determine it.

[ QUOTE ]

Do not create threads/posts to “petition” or “Lobby” for game features, additions, changes, or other issues. You may post suggestions and/or ideas to the boards, but you may not create a ‘petition’ for others to sign. This is bumping in disguise and will not be allowed. Lobbying is continually bringing up the same topic repeatedly in numerous different threads or as an off-topic post in official threads to get developer attention. This form of posting is not permitted.

They would not do this since MA was advertised as an alternate way to level a character from 1 to 50.

Technically, you still could level your toon from 1 to 50 in MA if you only used the dev choice arcs.

Ah its a video of an Andriod phone which has augmented reality.It calculates where you are at and what you are looking at and pops up information on the building depending on what is on the screen of the phone. So basically you get a rundown on the buildings around you distances to them and other info all in 3d on your phone.

If technology blesses up with contact lens computer screens which i think it will, this will be rather fun!

I'm sick to death of farmers ruining everyone's fun, but I think a couple of simple changes could solve the problem for everyone.


[/ QUOTE ]
Riiiight .... How exactly do farmers ruin your fun? By existing? To bad, so sad ... get over it.

[ QUOTE ]

I know, it sucks for those of us who play by the rules, but there's bound to be some way to figure out what the average XP is for a standard dev-created mission, and then set the bar at maybe 10% above that.


[/ QUOTE ]
Right, because the only thing farmers farm is XP right? How about taking all rewards out of MA? The only way to remove farmers from MA is to drop the reward rate so insanely low, that nobody would want to play it.

[ QUOTE ]

People may still farm because the "prey" is easier in AE, but it could sour the milk enough to get people back out into the sewers and Perez Park if all they want is massive mobs of enemies and XP/Inf.


[/ QUOTE ]
Farming for Inf is not the way to get Inf. Farming for drops is the way to get Inf. Reduce the inf drop rate to 0 and I wouldn't even notice. Reduce the XP in MA, and you'll only have level 50's playing MA. As it is, the xp is extremely low already, and I will never play an MA arc that isn't geared around giving XP. Quite frankly, I'm finding that the MA is clogged with garbage missions which don't give enough xp, and I actually posted a complaint the other day on an arc because of it. A 5 floor indoor map, and I gained half a level. I was level 11. Seriously, it was as large as the Frostfire mission and I gained half a level.

[ QUOTE ]

If players still feel gypped by the lowered XP/Inf, perhaps the excess can be converted towards tickets instead.


[/ QUOTE ]
That would make me very happy.

Step 3: More slots for veterans/money!
At this point, I desperately want to make more missions, and I'm willing to do almost anything short of buying a second account!!
The Hall of Fame and Dev's Choice are excellent ideas (if for no other reason than monitoring popular arcs is a good way to weed out farmers) but it shouldn't be too difficult to add one extra slot for every 6 months you've been subscribed to the game, or $9.95 for 3 additional slots with an upper limit of 15.


[/ QUOTE ]
So we can have more crappy missions to weed through that don't give any XP? No thanks.

[ QUOTE ]

More slots for people who want to be creative = more creative content in the game = the ratio of arcs that give no XP over farming missions which actually give XP goes up!

Fix't for what would really happen. And that would be a /no.

Economics is a hard subject to grasp. I wasn't to good at it in college, and I think I've actually learned more in just reading essays and articles on the internet for discussion on this forum than I did in college. Regardless of what people think, economics is as straight forward to grasp as math is, providing you can account for all the variables.

[/ QUOTE ]
I beg to differ. There's a reason why economics is called the dismal science. The problem in real life is that people are not always rational actors, and many of the simpler theories in economics rely on the fallacy of perfect information. So to make econ straightforward, all it requires is a simple combination of psychology, game theory, and traditional economic theory. Actually there's an emerging branch of economics called (I think) behavioral economics that sounds like it's attempting this very melding. I haven't read about it though, just heard a Fresh Air podcast on it a long time ago.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was refering to real world economics, and not game economics. If real world economics were so easy, people would have seen what was going to happen. The signs were there, but the variables weren't interpreted. The US screwed up, and should have left things alone. To big to fail is a bunch of bull ... Anyways, it's hard to talk about economics nowadays without hitting on politics too, so I'll stop there.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
It's a fine start, but I don't think you'll have any more luck than Stillhart did. If the goal is to educate people about basic economics, you might as well link to the wikipedia article about economics. It will be just as ineffective, and it will take a lot less of your time.

[/ QUOTE ]
Probably true. I kept thinking of topics, then discarding them as I realized that to take the assertions beyond the "just trust me" level would take too many paragraphs, leading to TL;DR syndrome. So as I was writing it I kept scaling back my goals. I wanted to try to get across the most basic concepts in a way that would ideally have maximum impact. Eventually I just declared victory and posted it.

Assuming I post it as a guide, I'll edit it at the end to link to your excellent multipart series of guides. Maybe mine can serve as an intro that'll pique a few players' interest.

So there you have it. If you guys want to be mad at someone, be mad at me. In my efforts to make the game fun and exciting in the long term. I sometimes have to make decisions that make players unhappy, and for that I apologize. We are working hard to avoid these kinds of situations in the future, and will work hard to avoid the kinds of situations that lead to badge removal in future releases. I also want to assure you that we will not be going back and removing badges introduced previous to I14. Some of those badges are truly an accomplishment to get, and we will not take away from those that have accomplished such a task nor will we remove the ability for future players to aspire to those same heights.
