    Please name the specific missions you had this happen in. The only regular content mission I remember where you had to click two objects at the same time was one of the Hollows missions and that was changed years ago so it could be soloed.

    Or is that click two objects at the same time something they can do in AE missions?

Love him or hate him how many other people can say that on their resumes? For a supposedly failed career he's produced far more in Hollywood and in comics than most people could ever dream of.
    Lothic we're talking about GG here. Reality has never had any bearing on what she believes or tries to argue.

    Yes an they have to go all the way to the beach where their workstations are set up so they can figure out how to untangle the base code while sipping frosty island beverages.

    Well there's always the option of putting money on a paypal account that he can use to spend on his CoH account.

    I think that still works.
  5. You do realize that the devs are in a different time zone where they are probably just getting up and getting ready to go to work.

    I've worked at more than one call center that didn't care what you were doing on the computer between calls as long as it wasn't NSFW crap.
  7. Unexpected downtimes are by definition unexpected by everyone including the devs and as such cannot be announced ahead of time.

    That's also why he's so low to the ground. He doesn't have the Oomph to get any higher.

    It isn't the least bit odd. Say someone "hacks" your Master Account, which NCSoft has already had a problem with just a couple years ago, they could then up your monthly charge limit and use your credit card to "buy" time and other things for other peoples accounts while charging them less than the company charges.

    No it's much safer for everyone not to allow it at all.


    Instead what they should do is sell Paragon Point/game time cards that way you can buy the card and the player can use it for points or game time.
  10. I think one of the things that makes Doctor Who so great and long lasting is the fact that no actor/actress is critical to the show. They all frequently change.

    I do it when I want to copy a character to Test/Beta because there are times when I want to explore the possibilities of a concept for new base design. That way I can plan out/design what I want in advance and refer back to it as I build the base on the live server.

    Other than that I spread it out like everyone else.

    This has been my experience as well. Don't know if it's been changed. It would be nice if it has.

    Oh please don't try blaming Whedon for that. With the exception of soap operas main characters rarely if ever get killed off. It is always the likable second stringers.

    That has been going on since the beginning of T.V. drama. Get over it.

    Oh and just an FYI. The forums have a setting that blocks all PM's/"Tells" so a person that has no interest receiving private messages would never get any requests to free up names via forum PM.

    Uhm with all due respect Hyper that isn't what is being asked. There's no argument that we can store tons of stuff using different characters.


    The topic is about a form of storage that would be easier to use than our current system.


    So I ask you would you object if the devs designed an gave/sold us a form of storage that allowed us to organise and keep our items without having to go thru time consuming effort of logging in and out, over and over thru tens or even hundreds of characters. Or being forced to keep and update a spreadsheet.

    Something easier to use certainly wouldn't bother me.

    Personally I think Lothic spelled the [pancakes] name wrong on purpose which is why I ran with it in my joking response to her post.

    Activity on the forum isn't an indicator of in game activity. We frequently see players with etremely low forum post counts who are 6, 7, 8 year veterans. They simply don't use the forums often, an there are thousands of players that have never used the forums at all.

Though it wasn't just the (lack of) sarcasm, plenty of other instances were still baffling even in hindsight.
    I just remembered one that bugged the hell out of me. Two student were secretly in love and you were sent to spy on them. You had the choice of turning them in or keeping their secret, but if you chose to keep quiet the voice acting automatically turned you into a blackmailer demanding payment to keep silent.
  21. Another huge (to me) irritation was no travel powers until level 24 or 25, and then you could only use the power if you could afford to buy the vehicle. Not being a farmer or a marketeer I never had enough credits.

    No the amount of money people would have to spend to save their precious enhancements is what makes it a bad idea.

    The amount of time and resources the devs have determined would need to be invested developing it and the huge amount of money they'd have to charge to break even let alone show a profit makes it a bad idea.

    And as far as the devs have said they are concerned, the fact that it undermines EVERYTHING they have done for the past 8 years to make this game alt friendly makes it (to them) a bad idea.

    And the devs opinions are the only ones that matter, since they are the ones that consistantly shoot this idea down, and refuse to consider it for development.

    What do you have against the pron industry that you would wish Morgan Fox on them.

    The issue isn't about if we the players like this idea. The devs have flat out told us over and over, each time it gets brought up to them that they aren't going to do it because

    a. It isn't worth the huge amount of time and effort it would take to develop, and

    b. It would undermine all the effort they have spent the past 8 years in developing an alt friendly game.

    So unless there are drastic changes to both the game engine and dev attitude this isn't going to ever be added to the game.
