Sorry Justice but the SCR always applies. That's what makes it so awesome.

More to the point, it's an individual store's individual insurance company's policy. A lot of outfits that insure retail establishments don't want to spend time talking to your lawyers because you rocked up to the drive-thru on foot and some coked-out d-bag in a Hummer ran you over, so they tell their policyholders, "Don't let people do that." -

Quote:That's more of an individual store policy. I've worked at places that flat out refuse to serve drive thru customers unless they were in/on (for motorcycles) a motor vehicle. They wouldn't even cut people on bicycles slack. One place even had a sign posted outside the window that said "No walk up service. Customers using the drive thru must be inside a motor vehicle."Originally Posted by Feycat
Actually, I've gone through the drive-through on rollerblades lots of times.
It's not really an applicable analogy to the discussion either way, but just sayin' -
Quote:Yeah some people are going at it like rabid ferrets that the incarnate stuff was released as a part of GR and they are being ripped off. Truly comical.Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
I am also well aware of the history and dates (that sounds snarky/feisty, but it is not meant that way in the slightest! Read it again with an agreeing, friendly voice!), but yeah... it is a matter of semantics.
Accessing any of the Incarnate content required Going Rogue. Going Rogue was not a momentary experience. It is a continuing, ongoing expansion and the incarnate system fell under its umbrella.
Again, under the new hybrid business model... there is zero wrong with dividing things up however they wish, but the incarnate system was indeed a part of Going Rogue. Just as the First Ward zone would likely be, if Going Rogue hadn't been added freely to any subscription (which is a nice thing).
EDIT: Just wanted to finish that off a bit better and a bit friendlier...
It's all good, as far as I am concerned and I certainly don't want to have any argument about it in this thread (I see now that it is a highly contested debate elsewhere, hehe).

So it's one of the bugs associated with the release of I21. All that can be done is notify CS and wait for the bugs to be straightened out.

Quote:No one has claimed that the Incarnate system isn't tied to the Going Rogue expansion which was launched August 17, 2010. Buying Going Rogue only bought players access to the Incarnate system once it was launched.Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
[/LIST]However, the system was absolutely tied to Going Rogue and no retcon and revisionist history is going to change that. Not sure why you worded it that way, but you had to have Going Rogue for that system and that was always the case.
The Incarnate system itself wasn't added to the game until Issue 19 which went live November 30, 2010. That's three months after the launch of Going Rogue. -
Quote:No one had to buy the AE edition to get access to the AE. It was free for everyone that had an active subscription.Originally Posted by CactusBrawler
AE on the other hand, that probably should be auto-unlocked if the player bought the AE edition release.
The AE edition was merely advertising for the new feature and it came with a free booster pack (Cyborg or Magic). -
My vet badges have always been awarded at the time I originally stared my account. So I didn't get them until the evening of my renewal date. In my case the 9th of each month.

Quote:And Incarnates weren't a part of a paid expansion either. It was added to the game several months after GR was put on the market.Originally Posted by Gemini_2099
IO's wasn't part of a paid expansion but was freely given out, and can be freely taken away.
-
Assuming this isn't just a bug that cropped up because of all the stuff being added with I21's release, any account inactivity could delay a vet badge from being awarded.
Do you recall if the account was inactive at any time within the past year? If so you'll have to wait a little longer to get the badge. If not, CS will have to look into it. -
Quote:Tough turnips. The devs have told us that it invalidates all the work they put into making the game alt friendly. So get used to rolling up new characters.Originally Posted by Screwed38
That really sucks as im disliking my MM who is now level 31, i would much prefer Robo but i dont want to start again, and they can make more money from it, i think they would think about it now because of the item mall release, they can put it up for say 600 points, one time use

Quote:If having pink forum names helps encourage them to upgrade their accounts I'm all for it.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
I do like the gold for Zombie Skin, nearly matches the default link color. Apprehensive about what colors Freemies and Preemies are going to be and if they will have a unique class to change them if they are terrible (I think I saw pink mentioned somewhere for freemies? ugh!?!? seriously?!?! -- please take with a grain of salt because I don't remember WHERE I saw it and WHO I read it from, and now cannot find)

Quote:For some reason I'm reminded of the time they painted the employee lounge at my one job. First off you have to imagine that all the furniture, carpet, and borders along the walls was a nice dark forest green.Originally Posted by Impish Kat
Well, the first gold color Z tried was omgmyeyestheybleed yellow, so I consider the mustard gold an improvement.
However.... I could see how a nice green would work.

Now try to picture everyones reaction the next day when they walked in to that room to see the green furniture in a room that was painted Pepto Bismol Pink.

Quote:Yes it was. They announced both ahead of time. That makes it scheduled.Originally Posted by Gemini_2099
Actually some napkin has shown the downtime has been roughly 2 days of game time, so it isn't far off honestly IMVHO.
This wasn't a scheduled downtime as it was an unforeseen circumstance when they had to do more hardware upgrades and physically move the servers when they did hardware upgrades last week.

Is it possible you are referring to Veteran Badges?

Quote:Anniversary badges are for the anniversary of the game launching not how long your account has been active. They are awarded to individual characters that log in during the month of May, starting April 28th. They are not account wide.Originally Posted by Tidbit
Is there anything describing a change, or does anyone know of a problem with the anniversary badges? My 6 year was Sept. 16, and I have yet to receive it. I have contacted support and they are researching it, but is this a known issue? Admittedly my searching of the forums was minimal . . .

Quote:It does look better on the red background but I'd still prefer a bright green.Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
I can't say it either look all that bad to me. The Hero one seems to have the saturation just a tad low, but, really, it's not that bad.
Give it a week, and I bet 90% of the people that don't like it would have forgotten that it used to be another color -
Quote:I know.Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
Which is why I said I won't argue if you say it FEELS like a beta.
I was just demonstrating that I can admit when I'm wrong, like calling the Headstart a Beta.
Edit: Not implying that you can't. Others have a hard time doing it. -
Quote:But they weren't wrong. People argued that players shouldn't be allowed to buy vet rewards under the old system. The devs never allowed that to happen. Instead they completely discarded the old system and created a new reward system.Originally Posted by Daemodand
The fact you were right and they were wrong should be reward enough.
As I recall people mainly argued that if the game were to go F2P it wouldn't be "in the next 6 months" like some kept claiming whenever they proclaimed doom. It took 7 1/2 years to happen.Quote:Just like my saying the game could and should go f2p,
I don't remember anyone saying it shouldn't be removed. I do remember people saying that if you lost something to the 60 day rule you had no one to blame but yourself for not logging in to reset the timer. The information on the rule was available to anyone that took the time to read the pop up window the market contact gave them. Willful ignorance is not a defense.Quote:and that the market shouldn't delete your stuff every 60 days (yes, there actually were people defending the idea of the 60 day deletion. I'm sure they'd happily admit they were very wrong on that one). -
Quote:You are correct that using the term beta is wrong on our part. It is not a "Beta". That doesn't change the fact that they are using the Headstart to make sure as much as possible is working before they launch the Free/Premium accounts so those players will hopefully endure as few problems as humanly possible.Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
Actually in the last UStream they specifically addressed that by saying, no, HEADSTART is NOT a beta test.
Take that for what you will.
From VK's notes today:
So all those people saying the devs never hid the fact that HEADSTART was a beta test . . . errr, absolutely incorrect.
Now if anyone wants to say it FEELS like one I won't argue.
But to say that the devs claimed it was a beta test or pretended like a beta test was headstart is just FALSE. -
