I always make sure my pinkies are fully extended as a form of proper base building etiquette.

Article in Forbes.
Personally I'm in favor of the latter. I think the world would be better off under the rule of a smart sexy redhead. -

Frankly the more any Planet of the Apes movie disassociates itself from the 2001 remake the better.
Strictly speaking Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) wasn't even really a clear-cut prequel to the original Planet of the Apes (1968). In the original Planet of the Apes the human race had nuked itself out of existance allowing the apes to evolve unopposed. But in Conquest of the Planet of the Apes humans had created a race of apes that were being used as slave labor. The slave apes eventually revolted and supposedly went on to destroy human society in open warfare.
Basically every Planet of the Apes movie seems to tweak the overall story a bit to suit its purposes.
Cornelius and Zira were using one of the crashed ships when the Alpha/Omega Bomb exploded in BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES which sent them back in time. While there Zira had a child who was hidden in a traveling circus. That child grew up to be Caesar who led the now domesticated apes in revolt and out of the cities into the abandoned countryside. I thought the nuclear holocaust occurred after that revolt. -
Quote:Meh remake, reboot, prequel I don't care what they call it. It's still not an original idea.Originally Posted by Furio
I thought it was more of a pre-quel, than a remake, but I lost track of the original series after the second or so...was there one where they showed how the apes took over, like this one does?

Quote:To be honest I've been inviting my newly created alts into my personal SG's while they are still in the tutorial for so long I can't remember if you see the SG name or not on the invites.Originally Posted by Ironblade
Correct me if I'm wrong, though, the invite only tells you the name of the nimrod inviting character and not the name of the dipstick SG.

Eh, teleport initially was a shiny I couldn't look away from and then later I just found it to be a pain and ended up grabbing fire flight instead.

Only old timers who got their education back in the 70's, or 80's, or earlier are seriously ignorant enough to think the world revolves around Europe.

Actually, look again. My guild is pre-registered, and if you look at the pre-registered guilds, the scale is far FAR weighted toward darkness.
Edit: I'm assuming your talking about TOR's pre reg guilds. -
Quote:Nothing drives people away from a game faster than constantly getting team invites and then being spammed by RMT advertising.Originally Posted by Djeannie
Really. Not allowing free accounts to start groups is a poor move.
Not letting free accounts start groups is a great idea. -
Quote:I'm with you 110% on the whole getting stuck issue. I was referring to how they stop when you get out of range of them. Like how they occasionally just stop in the middle of an empty hallway.Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
??? do you mean the AI? My issue is that the AI OFTEN gets stuck on walls, on areas where it WILL. NOT. MOVE. etc.
Has NOTHING to do with whether we are super heroes or not all to do with the TERRIBLE pathing and AI this game's engine still has to this day. -
<sigh> I wish they'd say something now cuz I have to save up for several months if they're doing it.

When TOR launches, I'm going to be Darth Bob. My backstory will be that I saw a late night television ad for a Galactic trade school, and it was either blaster repair or Sithing.

I really don't understand the problem some people are having over this. We are SUPER HEROES. We are supposed to be better, stronger, and faster than civilians/NPC's. If they were Super Civilians they wouldn't need us to rescue them.
So what if you have to stop frequently so they can keep up. That's called realism. The hostages are exhausted mentally and physically from being captured, beaten, and terrorized.
If your redside then the people your kidnapping don't want to go with you. Duh! You have to force them.
I guess I get too immersed in the game for this to bother me. -
Quote:Yeah Andy's performance is probably my only real interest in this flick. He was amazing as Gollem but still not enough to get me to pay theatre prices for a remake.Originally Posted by Lothic
About the only thing that has me interested in seeing this one is that Caesar in this movie is "CGI acted" by Andy Serkis who of course did such a great job as Gollem in LotR. The remake of Planet of the Apes a few years ago was such a disappointment that I'm naturally leery of this new one, but we might eventually end up going to see a cheap matinee of it sometime.

Another in a long line of Hollywood remakes because they can't find anything original to do. Thanks but I'll wait for it to be tossed in a super market bargain bin. I don't care how good it is.

Thanks for the info.
Really irks me when someone gives an invite - I've never met the person, grouped with them or anything. Yet somehow they want me in their SG.
We understand but on the plus side that "style" of recruiting is a damn good warning of which SG's to avoid. -

Quote:I don't know why you're assuming that the devs would change builds so they were linked to the primary power set/AT choice.Originally Posted by Cheetatron
I don't know why your assuming a powerset respec would work in the same multiple builds way as our current respecs
But it doesn't matter because the devs have given us their official response via Ustream which is they aren't doing it. -
Quote:Yeah they just go down the list and spam invites hoping someone is stupid enough to accept.Originally Posted by Ironblade
No. Unless someone is in range, or on a team/league and anywhere in the same zone, they can not see:
- if you are in an SG.
- your picture, bio, badges, etc.
So, people are probably just spamming invites based on the search window. If you're already in an SG, they get an error message. -
Quote:GW's problem was having was with their Master Accounts. It was discovered that you could type in your own login and password and you were occasionally given access to another players account instead of your own. So hackers just sat back and repeatedly logged into and out of their accounts until they got access to someone elses account.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
This is just from getting newsletters.
Aion was affected by a bug a while back on their forums, though, where people could post something, hit "send," then find themselves in a totally different part of the forums, sometimes under someone else's account. (And they could get the info from it/alter it, if they wanted... and if it didn't kick them back out.) I don't actually recall any problems from this (other than a week, possibly more, of saying "Hey, this would PROBABLY be a good idea to FIX, ya think?") though.
But that's been a good while ago. I'm fairly sure the account issue was GW. -
Quote:That's cool but the important thing to remember is that players won't be buying items directly from the store when Freedom launches. We will buy Paragon Points instead. (or use the points given for having an active sub)Originally Posted by Aggelakis
I'm pretty sure they're not getting rid of them entirely. I don't remember who said it, or where it was said, but a redname confirmed it. You'll be able to purchase what you want piecemeal from a certain booster, and you'll be able to purchase the whole booster at once (this part is speculation: and it will likely cost 800 PP to do that, aka $10, a penny more than they cost now).
