Nothings stopping you from moving your characters to other servers other than your unwillingness to buy some transfers. -

Losing EU global names and now no incentive to try out EU/NA servers? Wow, this list merger just keeps getting better and better.
Oooh-kaaay . . .

Quote:That happens all the time. Villains spent years getting no content. PvP spent years getting no content. Players that don't do incarnate stuff got no content.Originally Posted by ThePill
But then, that ends up meaning that there's no new content for some existing players/characters/toons to take part in.
It doesn't matter what the MMO is about there will always be people that won't use the new stuff being added to any game. -
Quote:What?!? Form their own league? Are you nuts? What kind of crackpot talk is that? Players have better things to do with their time than stand around getting people together to do a raid.Originally Posted by Kiken
And those terms, like those of every other team in the game, include being able to be kicked by the leader. For whatever reason they have. The ability to lock a league would save a whole lot of unnecessary aggravation all around. And if it turns out that every single league is getting locked (which is unlikely), why then there will be plenty of people in the LFG queue won't there?

Okay guys. Feel free to keep responding. I should have been in bed about 2 hours ago. Going there now. Will pick this up tomorrow if the mods haven't carpet-nuked the thread from orbit.

When and where is your next birthday party? You can't refuse to answer, either.
I'm coming. Have beer for me.
And, you're a jerk if you say no and throw me out.

Quote:Exactly. And you wouldn't be griefing him if you did it. That's what the notes feature is for. A tool that let's you screen the people you meet in the game so you can play with people you like and avoid the people you don't like.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
Sure they do. Just like I have the right to one star them for being a jerk to someone who did nothing wrong.
And if you are doing a raid and the queue teams you up with someone you one starred you can kick him from the team with a polite explanation that the team is private league and you don't need his assistance. -
Quote:I think he's right as well which is why I didn't disagree with him.Originally Posted by Lothic
Well whether the "10 at a time" scheme was a godsend years ago or not I think Sailboat hit the nail on the head - the Devs really have no fundamental incentive to make this aspect of the game any easier for us regardless.

I was hoping this discussion would come much sooner. In beta, I presented the fact that being able to kick people from a trial would lead to asshattery like this.

"Because that's the way it works" is not a reasonable argument. We're asking why it works that way. Now obviously you can't know the reasons that the devs made the decision but from what I can see this is a design decision with several potential downsides (of a primarily social nature) and no real upsides.
So I'll ask you this. What advantage is there to the player base as a whole in not allowing leagues to "lock" themselves given that:
1. Leagues can queue as a full size league to get around the lack of a lock
2. The league leader can kick extra members if they desire providing another way around the lock
If a group of people want to play as a private league they can already do so either by forming a full 16/24 man league or by forming a short league and kicking any adds. However, kicking adds is rather rude to the person being added so why not provide a way to allow the league not to need to do it?
Hamidon and MS Raids are a different situation. There is no zone control at all so a league does not have the option of removing unwanted members. -
Quote:I agree with you. Just because a few people want to be selective about who they team with doesn't mean that everyone will form private leagues. It takes a very harsh person to assume that everyone will do that.Originally Posted by Bright
Some of you guys are harsh. o_0

Quote:Yes they do.Originally Posted by The_Coming_Storm
They have no right to kick an innocent bystander.

Quote:Okay this is different than what I thought it would be. The OP has actually given a reasonable reason for asking other than the usual "I don't want to pay for a transfer" or "I missed the previous free transfers and that isn't fair".Originally Posted by DeviousMe
So now that the server list merge has been pushed back, is there any chance we might get another few transfer tokens when it comes out, like we did with Going Rogue?
So while I won't be surprised if we don't get any I think this would be a great way to encourage mutual migration between the EU and NA communities. -
Quote:The team leader wasn't griefing. No one should be forced to team with someone they didn't invite. In fact the devs have gone to great lengths to give players the tools to screen their potential teammates. Or have you forgotten about the Notes feature and the ability to one star players you don't want to associate with?Originally Posted by The_Coming_Storm
Report the league leader for griefing.
So if a group of players want to form a private league for their SG members, Coalition members, private global channel members, Furry group, RP group, PvP group, whatever then that's none of our damn business and we have no right to tell them they can't.
Edit: I'm sorry to find that I am disagreeing with Arcanaville on this. I hope we are cool about having different opinions. -
Heck I want to be able to name all my vet-pets.

There's a whole lot of stuff they could have salvaged from the other Destiny if the writers hadn't insisted on having the ship falling into the sun while they rushed to grab whatever they could carry.

We don't know if it polarizes in high intensity situations or has some sort of advanced filtering tech. I'd have to go back and rewatch the series to see if there's any depictions of it thus.

The best thing, IMO, is to keep your identity a secret and seek out extreme cases to fix mixed with a lot of visits to 3rd world places and providing guidance while subtly touching the hurt/sick, healing them without them knowing it was you.
The last thing you want is to begin conflict to decide who 'obtains' you for their side or zealots trying to assassinate you as an opponent of their religion.
This is why I want omnipotence. I can just (figuratively) snap my fingers and illness, disease, genetic defects are gone with just because I wish it so and no one is the wiser. Global Warming? Gone. Animals on the verge of extinction? Not any more, be fruitful and multiply. Clean energy sources that aren't harmful to the enviroment? Done. Asteroids/Comets heading towards the Earth? Not anymore. Terrorists? Go play on the Sun. Understanding how women think? Hey, there's some things even omnipotence can't fix.

Quote:Very possible explanations but they don't address the other part of my response where the person with the power may be killed by people wanting to keep the power from being used against them. If the person with the power is seen as a big enough threat it's very possible some may rationalize that destroying an entire city is acceptable collateral damage to eliminate him.Originally Posted by starphoenix
Depends on how the power worked. If it is based on desire or intent, then lobotomizing you would destroy the power. In fact, any brain surgery could destroy any power that requires concentration if not done correctly. The power has to be studied carefully to figure out which parts of the brain are safe to cut and which aren't. Can't put an implant in the brain or perform a lobotomy if it is located in the area of the brain controlling the power. Controlling the patient with an implant that causes severe pain would be far less risky. Although, the patient might be able to teleport himself and not the implant. Why take a risk in destroying the power, when there are far more effective methods to controlling a person like greed or national pride. Also, the patient has to be completely drugged through the entire procedure or they would escape.

Quote:Hi Beast. Just out of curiosity is there any reason why you guys can't do the name changes like I asked below? It's okay if you don't have an answer tho.Originally Posted by Beastyle
I do apologize; however, trial account names will not be changed. I realize this may cause some conflict with EU accounts that share the same name, and again I apologize, however the trial account login names will remain the same.
However, trial account global names will be changed to "trial####," preventing any conflicts with EU global handles.
Sorry for any inconvenience the account name changes may cause.
Quote:Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
If they are freeing up the names on trial accounts can't they do the same with inactive accounts so that the first account to login get's the name in question?
That way if Floating Fat Man has an EU and an NA account and he logs into his EU account first he would get to keep the name on his EU account.
Oh nevermind probably a dumb idea. -

They're doing the reactivation AT THE SAME TIME, so your EU global is going to get changed no matter what.

Well you have to keep in mind that the current respec system was designed long before things like set IOs even existed. Basically in a world without IOs, markets or in-game mail there was barely any need to worry about striping one character of enhancements and moving them to another. Being able to do "10 at a time" was probably far beyond what they expected anyone would ever need originally.
I agree it would be nice if respecs were updated to reflect the realities of the evolved game we are now playing. But for the time being I'm going to be assuming that's not going to happen.
I remember how prior to IO's how respecs could leave a character broke with powers unslotted until they managed to earn enough inf to fill the gaps. So back then being able to pull 10 enhancements off of a character you were deleting and reuse them elsewhere was a godsend. Now that we can make inf hand over fist at any level (I have yet to have a character that didn't have 1 million inf by level 10 just from selling drops, and many times they get 500k just from selling the Insp they get in the tutorial at level 1), and we have several different ways to get the enhancements we want (Drops, Market, Merits, AE tickets) I don't see the devs changing their minds.
