    I agree. In fact she's the only thing I really remember about that movie.

    That's another problem I've been having randomly over the past year or more.

    However, there's a new wrinkle involved since we have gone to micro transactions. It's possible that there's a financial benefit to allowing us to try out new stuff before we buy.
    So things aren't quite as simple as they used to be.
    Just noticed this after rereading the thread.

    No, MT's have not changed anything. The devs still don't have to let you check out microtransactions before they go live. You can wait until they're released like everyone else, and check them out on the test servers after they are in the store but before you make a purchase on the live servers.

    I can confirm this to be true.

    Shame he only got one series.
    Well I'll admit I could be wrong. I could be assuming she had it with her.

    I missed that scene.

    So what? No one so far has claimed that it would be easy to do. They just want more options. One of the greatest things about this game is the flexibility of the costume creator, and ours is almost 8 years old. It's time for a complete makeover.

    Personally I don't care how long it takes. 1, 2, 3 years whatever as long as it gets done. I think it's worth the investment of time and resources to do it right.

  9. /This. It can be applied to so many different things.

    Glasses and monocle's should be separate.
    Cigars andcigarettes should be separate.
    Tiara's and headbands should be separate.

    Adding more sections would give us so much more freedom in customization all over the body.

    Only problem there is that Rose's phone is in an alternate dimension and her Doctor is human and has no TARDIS.




    Of course it's possible that they got in touch with that dimensions Doctor and now are his companions.
  12. Not the old "Let me summon my own characters as NPC's" idea again. As others have said 1. it's way too complex. 2. We already have temp powers that summon powerful NPC's. and 3. Earning drops as if you were on a three man team but it all goes to one person? Are you nuts? You are playing SOLO. Drops should never be increased just because you are using a temp power to summon assistance. If anything they should be decreased because you need help to complete the missions.

    That's only partly true. That information was leaked to ParagonWiki by a band of time traveling dwarves that had stolen the map of time from the Supreme Being.

    I have it on good authority that it will start in the winter, some time in December.

    I used to try to discourage team invites on my MM by charging 5 mil in my search comments just to join a team but stopped because too many people were willing to pay it, even after I doubled the amount.

    Not only to themselves but time and paragon points to RMT customers. How hard would it be for them to create a Free account load it up with PL'd characters then use a stolen CC to buy points and a years sub and sell it to some dumb schmuck stupid enough to give them another credit card number.

    Then steal the account back, change the password, and sell it again.

    How many times do you think they could do this in a month starting with just one stolen card number before someone catches on and cancels the card.

    There are parts of the world where this kind of thing is so rampant NCSoft won't even accept any CC charges from and force customers to put everything thru third parties to make purchases.


    Oh an these thieves are smart enough not to use stolen CC numbers in the same game. They'll use CC numbers from WoW accounts to pay for stuff here and vice versa. Anything to make it more confusing to straighten out.

    Ooh. Sorry to hear that. Uhm Since I see paypal has been mentioned I'll toss another idea out there. Do they sell prepaid credit/gift cards where your at? As a gift they have the advantage of being able to be reloaded and if lost/stolen/ or used fraudulently your friend is insured and will get his money back. Also they can't be used to for identity theft.

    If he already has an account you can buy him a time card and he can use it to reactivate his account.

It could become a City of Heroes version of the neighborhood watch.
    What he's referring to is a group of players getting together to grief people. STO had that problem right in the beginning with this same report spammer feature. Now it was never confirmed or denied but some people believed it was a group of players from EVE that were doing the griefing and abusing the auto silence feature with phony petitions. It took GM intervention to stop the abuse.

    The Beta server didn't exist when Dual Blades hit. We only had the original Test server.

    I didnt see ANY big notice about doing proper testing and reporting back to the devs. There was no big handy in game survey to fill out. Maybe there is now, I dont know.
    It's the TEST SERVER. What part of that don't you understand?

    Quote:
    Beta is, and should be, a place where people can look at the current new stuff, fiddle with it a bit, then give some sort of feedback. It should not be somewhere we go, unpaid, unthanked, to TEST a product we pay (sort of) for.
    The Devs specifically created the Beta Server to Beta Test Going Rogue content before it launched, and they continue to use it to beta test new content before it launches. It is only their generosity that they allow us to use the Test and Beta servers between new issues. We are not entitled to it, nor have we ever been promised access to it.

    Every MMO uses Test and Beta severs to get stress testing of new content done and they always invite a group of players to try and break the content and find out where unexpected bugs and other problem are.
