Now compare that to what we got 1 month after the game launched back in 2004.

Go ahead we'll wait.


What's the matter. You want to try to compare the amount of content we got over a period of seven and a half YEARS to what we've gotten during the past month since Freedom launched? Pardon our howls of derisive laughter at that idea.


Edit Or are you actually arguing that we should pay less because we get more for free? That's even more hilarious.

Fortunately that is not the logic nor the argument being made so there is no reason for the devs to let people start at level 50.

The logic and argument being made is that the devs now need to add a ton of low level content to replace the original content they ripped out of the beginning levels of the game.

Notice anything different?


Now no one is saying that they weren't tired of running the old content. Hell we've been running it for almost 8 years of course it's going to feel old. But it only took a week for us to get sick of Matthew Habashy and his new linear story arc players are forced to go thru.

One can only hope the devs plan on adding new missions to the old contacts to keep players interested because we've all seen how successful having to go thru the same linear storyline has been for Villains and Praetoria.

So cancel your subs and pay for everything extra you want instead of saving your points and getting it for free. You'll win because you can spend that $15 bucks in the store on points, the company wins because they'll still be getting your money, and we'll win because you won't be able to post anymore.

Everyones happy.

Yes it is entirely true, and the only difference between now and pre-Freedom is that when the devs used to release new boosters and Editions with new goodies people had to wait and save up real money to buy them instead of waiting to save up free points and getting them for nothing.

And if the devs are adding new stuff to the game faster than you can get it for free, Boo frelling Hoo. Patience is a virtue. Adding new stuff to the game is always a good thing.

This is the one I was shown and it was a real PITA to use. Always takes me 10-15 minutes to get thru the map and under PI.

No oops, My "yes" was responding to the names of the rooms you posted I merely edited out the one about the council because it wasn't in my post. I suppose I could have cut the part about the Matrix Room as well. I just didn't think you'd mind.

I did it as a hero. If it's a bug then I'm not complaining, I'm keeping it.

Yep. Pre-formed teams and leagues don't let outsiders join from the queue. The queue isn't broken, people are just choosing to block it.

VIP's can get everything for free by exercising patience. The only people that end up paying money are the ones that desire instant gratification.

Yes.

Okay that's much easier than the way I was shown originally and I'll have o try it someday soon.

I noticed at the end of one of a DfB that three people went back to Steel Canyon, Two went to Atlas Park, while I returned to Kings Row.

Fine with me but after the Nightmare kills the Spammer it should do a little dance over the corpse. Like this

Wearing nondescript clothing has more chance of innocent people being wrongfully identified by the criminal element as the person responsible for standing up to them and any revenge could easily fall on their heads as a result.

Dressing in a unique concealing outfit means you won't be confused with the do-gooder just because you had the misfortune to be born the same size and build and hasppened to be wearing the same color hoodie and sunglasses the next day when you went out shopping, jogging, whatever.


1. 2. In order to get a proper camera angle on the events in question so everything is caught on tape requires more people to be involved than just the good Samaritan.

3. Journalists like the camera crew know full well the risks they are taking when they accept dangerous assignments. That's part of the job and they know that they are responsible for their own safety.

Yeah wearing a costume to hide your identity is silly because criminals have never been known to seek revenge on the families of people that stand up to them. They've never driven by a house or a public street and do a drive by shooting.

And video taping your actions is another silly idea because we all know that once arrested the criminal always confesses to his crimes and never, ever lies or tries to blame someone else, like pretending they were the innocent victim.

Nope criminals are all just a bunch of misunderstood cuddle-wuddle bears, and anyone using common sense tactics to stand up to them and bring them to justice is only a money grubbing fame-*****.

Yes "all of us". Not you because you never paid your membership fees and don't count. You're one of them. "Them" being the ones that aren't one of us. If any of them have anything to say they can speak for themselves.

Belated congratulations.
