So SGU is about to start. I wonder if they'll even bother to give a reason why they don't put everyone but 2 people into stasis so the ship can conserve energy and they can conserve supplies and make an attempt to go as far as possible in FTL to outrun the drones.

Quote:Not only that but the EU player will finally be getting the same bang for their buck. I always felt they were getting shafted with only 4 servers to our 11.Kind of unrelated, but this thread jogged an idea into my little head. The server merge probably won't impact the number of subscriptions in the US, but it very well could entice more Europeans and non-NA folks to play since there will be more 'kids in the sandbox'.

Well I'm sure someone will pop into the thread eventually and post some homemade graph of some sort and proclaim it is proof the game is doomed.

Quote:You can even ask if they have a website that you can check out what they are all about.Nonsense. Ask people for opinions and recommendations. This will give you a decent chance of finding a good SG *BEFORE* you start joining random ones. You will have better odds of finding one that suits you - particularly since everyone's definition of "best" will vary. Do you want an SG that does a lot of task forces? One that role-plays? One with regularly scheduled events? One that makes a point of mentoring new members? The SG ranking tells you about NONE of those things.

Quote:No I'm putting personal responsibility on the customer. If a company establishes methods to keep its customers informed and they make the choice not to use them they can't blame the company when they miss something.You keep putting the failure on the customer. This is wrong. When a company runs specials, promotions, sales, etc, their GOAL is to ATTRACT ATTENTION. If they are not doing that, then they have FAILED.
If you're running a special and try to get word out to your customers, and most of them don't hear about it, then YOU HAVE FAILED. Call the customers lazy if you like but the COMPANY has FAILED in their goal. Rationalize it all you want, but the bottom line is that the sales/marketing department blew it.
If they choose to put blinders on they have to live with the consequences. -
Quote:They are aware that the forums and the main website exist when they create their accounts and choose not to use them. Same goes for choosing not to set up email, twitter, or facebook accounts.Yet you have no trouble suggesting motivation ("willful" does imply actively attempting to remain ignorant, yes?) with no knowledge of anything that would suggest such.
The irony is, I most likely wouldn't have bought transfers had I known about them. My statement that the communication relating to the sale could have been better is one that I'm more than willing to stand behind, given the amount of time I spend on the forums and the fact that I still managed to miss mention of it.
You can feel free to paste together as many long, link-laden, graphically-enhanced responses as you like, if doing so makes you feel good about yourself. I don't find the tone or attitude conveyed all that constructive, but I'm guessing that wasn't your goal.
(And Ironblade can attest that I have agreed with him that their email system sucks for the players that do choose to use it.)
Not using them is a personal choice and the result is that they are willfully ignorant of current events affecting the game. So when they miss out they have no one to blame but themsleves. Being responsible for your own choices is a wonderful thing, but if it makes you feel better to paint me as the bad guy for telling it like it is, be my guest. It won't stop me from enjoying the game and taking advantage of any ongoing and future sales and events. -
And the motion is carried. Now get out there young hero and start earning those badges!

Quote:Bill and the others are right. The I20 Incarnate stuff is less than a month old and the "new" hasn't worn off it yet so almost everybody with 50's is grinding the hell out of them.What level range? Quite a few folks are going to be on 50s doing incarnate trials. Makes the pickings a bit sparse for anything else at times. (Try soloing a zombie invasion on a mid-teens controller.)
Global channels are a great way to meet people online and get teams. One that tries to help people on all servers is the Mentor Project. -
Yes he does. How many times have we encountered SG's proclaiming themselves to be and have the best everything only to find out that they are nothing but prestige puppymills and when new members join they are given threats that they are required to contribute "x" prestige each week by any means necessary or they will be blacklisted by the "SG" community and other BS.

I thought the players estimates were hovering around 60-70k after the most recent release of financial information from NCSoft.

Ironblade I stand by what I said that willful ignorance is no excuse and in my opinion lazy in the other thread but please don't post lies. I never said anything derogatory about their personal hygene. You are a better person than that.

And players can simply click on the little button at the top of their updater that says "News" and they'll be taken right to the main website where they announced the sale on May 3rd.
But I will say that I'm glad to hear that the OP is privy to NCSofts confidential marketing decisions and can say without a doubt that he knows for certain that marketing has no special plans to go along with the merging of the server list, and they just aren't keeping it for a surprise. -
I'm going to assume that this is in response to which vet reward it will be because there will be people that don't like the idea of waiting for 84+ months to get it.
However it makes a perfect vet reward as it has absolutely no effect on gameplay. -
Quote:Call it sloppy if you like but that's my opinion of anyone that complains about missing a sale or event when they can't be bothered to check the sites provided them to keep them informed.And bulldookey to you. The majority of players CHOOSE not to read the forums. To label them as lazy is sloppy thinking.... at best.
Oh and "lazy" is me being polite. After 15 years of customer service my actual opinion of them is much more colorful than our forum rules would allow posting. -
Thanks for running those tests Wendy.

Keep dancing Snow it's very entertaining.

Quote:I agree with you that they need to fix their email system.They need to fix their crummy email system and make sure to always post on the launcher.
Quote:They didn't do anywhere near enough. I think we're all in agreement that the majority of players do NOT read the forums. And, though this is anecdotal, most (more than half) of their email announcements do not reach me.
The fact that the majority of players are too lazy to get off their butts and check the announcements on the forums, or the main website to keep informed on what's going on in the game only means that they have no one to blame but themselves when they miss out on sales and events.
Willful ignorance is not an excuse. -

No it isn't.
Quote:A private function at -my- residence isn't a public function. On the other hand if I had a party at a restaurant, I couldn't stop anyone from going to said restaurant unless I made previsions with the management to book (fill) the entire restaurant's seating. The management still has the right to let other people in if the reservation is less than the available seating, at -their- discretion, not the people booking a less than full group.
The same thing applies to the LFG queue. A full league books the entire reservation for the trial, a partial league is open to other people joining.
Just because an event is being held online doesn't invalidate it's privacy, and your dancing around, and desperate attempts to come up with excuses and justifications only proves you know your argument is flawed and you don't really believe in it. -
Quote:You forgot paying rent but since rent is so low it's laughable to be concerned about it.I don't really see how having more prestige makes an SG the "best". I mean, yes, it means they probably have a fully stocked base, but it really doesn't take THAT much prestige to get there. All the groups on the top 100 probably have that. And beyond that point, Prestige is just a silly, meaningless number. Because all it's good for is buying stuff in the base.
I'm surprised he isn't foaming at the mouth about Praetorian characters and how the first SG they join gets a 100,000 prestige bonus.
Damn Praetorians are screwing up the prestige ranks by joining SG's!Rabble Rabble Rabble!
Dey took ar jobs!

You can believe whatever you want it doesn't change the fact that inf sinks benefit everyone. The only way they stop benefitting you is if you cancel your sub.

Quote:You might want to check the forum rules & guidelines:
Asking for that information might be considered trolling.
Snow we all see what your doing. You are trying to use the forum rules as a smokescreen rather than admit that you don't believe what you've been arguing applies to you.
Everyone including the mods knows Comics wasn't asking or expecting you to actually post personal info on the forums. -
