If you really are French that means you have a decent grasp of at least 2 languages, so you aren't stupid.

As a matter of fact even tho your grammar and spelling are a little off, (which is understandable since english isn't your first language) you are communicating better than some forum members that were born and raised in America.

I was thinking about your idea of linking worktables to salvage bins and I had an idea that may allow the auxillary device to work the way you want and not mess with the current way bins are set up.

Lets say the device can only draw salvage from bins in the same room as it is in. Or it can have (say 4) bins attached to it that it can draw from.

This would let people use the worktable without sorting thru the attached bins, and other bins could still be used for personal storage in other locations.

It was not my intention to start another Farming Flame War, but that seems to happen whenever someone uses the word Farm.

[/ QUOTE ]

Incorrect again. The argument starts whenever someone tries to claim the devs are against farming when they have clearly stated that they are only after the people that took advantage of exploits.

Players that have abused the reward system egregiously may lose benefits they have gained - leading up to and perhaps including losing access to the characters power-leveled in this fashion.






Players who knowingly use an exploit when creating an arc, run the risk of having access to MA suspended, or worse- depending on the severity of the action, their account banned.

Here we go again.

Get over it. Mistakes happen. Whining about it in every thread you stick your head into just makes you look like a child having a temper tantrum. You're already quitting, so why bother with this tirade of yours? Are you trying to get others to quit with you or something?

Actually, don't respond. We don't need another thread locked/deleted because you can't stop being a baby.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think i will reply ty, and if you really want i can get alot more threads locked and deleted i have a whole other account to use after this one gets banned. The mods maybe able to shut me up but you can't And i didn't get a ban nor a toon deleted so really not whining more sort of noticing the way it was handled, and expressing my opinion. Too [censored] bad if that bothers you you don't have to read it and you don't have to reply. Since you did it just seems to be to start something and hey i haven't backed down to the mods think i will to you?

[/ QUOTE ]

Sadly for you the only thing you accomplish by getting both your accounts banned is give us another Shiverwraith to laugh at. The only person that ends up upset and frustrated is the person that gets banned.

[ QUOTE ]
I'd hazard a guess that they are going to lose another 10K accounts given the current status of the things going on in game and on the boards. I know they are losing 6 when my husband and I leave and that will happen shortly. The nerfs and censorship is more than we can take.

You'd think given the fact that there is another Hero MMO about to launch they would think twice about upsetting the player base like they have.

[/ QUOTE ]

Your deluding yourself if you think a handful of whiners leaving over the MA exploits getting fixed is upsetting the playerbase. ED was a bigger deal than this.

As for leaving for the other game, once you (generic you) see how crappy it is you'll all be back. The only way you'll get people to consider you're serious about not returning is if you delete all your characters. Leaving the characters on the account tells me that the quitters want to keep their options open so they don't have to start over from scratch when they return.

Welcome back, I hope you don't have too much difficulty getting this straightened out. Weekends however can make it harder as most people are gone til monday.

Hmmm so Tabula Rasa was around 70,000 subs (at first view) when it went under.

Say we were around 125,000 subs around the end of 2008.
Let's be generous and say we lost 1,000 accounts from PvP and lose another 3,000 to the recent events. That would put us around 110,000 or at worst 100,000 subs.

Still not enough to shut down any servers, I'd think.

[/ QUOTE ]

Your not taking into consideration that subscriber increase when I14 came out. I see a lot more people in the game since I14 went live and I believe that number more than compensates for the few people that left. So I think the number of subs is up from 125,000.

[ QUOTE ]
I've been trying to figure out ways to "update" an office-type room in one of my bases, and I wanted white walls. I found a good workaround (finally) and will post pics once I'm done if anyone's interested.

And since I noticed a lot of people talking about wanting a stucco option for "office" walls...

Even though it takes a really long time, you can use the Modern Art Frame object (the plain white picture) to simulate white walls by placing them next to each other/slightly overlapping...probably not a good solution for a whole base, but it's pretty good for just a room, like a small medbay or office.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the white wall cabinets work nicely myself.

[ QUOTE ]
This thread is flame bait at this point.

[/ QUOTE ]

It was flame bait when the OP made his first post. The OP's problem is he wants to spend more money than he earns. As adults we all learn to live within our means. If there is something we want that's outside our means we adapt. We give up something in order to get something, or we do without. Throwing a hissy-fit never works, and calling people names when they point out the obvious flaws in his argument just confirms his immaturity.

[ QUOTE ]
After all the Flame Wars that have gone on concerning Mission Architect and Farming, it is clear that the player base is devided concerning Farming.

I am a casual Farmer, myself. I get bored easy, so I can't Farm effectively. After about 3 runs of the same Mish I got to go do something else, lol.

The Devs have made alot of changes to the MA concerning Farming.

I would like to give them a suggestion to Kill Farming In-Game. Here it is;

Set a time limit on how long a Mission can remain in a players Mission Tray.

This will work for the G-Ville TV Missions, and Most every other Farm Mission in the game.

Now, before someone says this wont work in AE, I will remind you that I said Kill Farming In-Game, not AE which they are already addressing.

Devs, you should realize that if you read this and do it you will chase off a big portion of your income. The percentage of your playerbase that are active Farmers.

But this would Kill Farming.

[/ QUOTE ]

The devs are not against farming, they are against people taking advantage of exploits. Please don't try to put words into their mouths.

Oh and /unsigned to the idea.

Bite me. I'm a disabled veteran, with no job, living on $700 a month and I support my elderly parents. I have no dental insurance, and just incurred a $3,000 dollar dental bill, and owe another three grand owed to the credit card company.

Your problem isn't that CoH is too expensive, Your problem is that you can't budget. You whine and tell us you have expenses like

[ QUOTE ]
along with about 200 to 300 on groceries/alcohol/restaurants per month, 279 for rent each month. 40/mo to my brother for doing the dishes, and cleaning the apartment. 20 for adult entertainment. 50 for car insurance. 25 for renters insurance. 10 for life insurance. 30+ for gas. i'm gonna have to pay for dental insurance soon. also money for furniture, new bed, bedding stuff, electronics, soon a new $1200 computer. also other games i buy such as sf4, fightpad controller, defense grid, castle crashers, ssf2thdr and other games, video rentals. and medical expenses i just paid 735 for a hospitol bill, credit report 25. gambling, movie theateres, postal stamps, luckily no credit cards currently. and i get about $900/month from disability, and i live in north county san diego, ca. i'm not working right now. soon i'll go back to work after i have a cataract in my eye removed. then i go back to pizza delivery for round table while getting disability.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well here's a newsflash.

1. You don't have to buy new furniture, bed, bedding, and electronics every month. You said you don't have credit so you're not even making monthly payments on that stuff either.

2. You can choose to cut out or reduce what you spend on the adult entertainment, gambling, movie theaters, and other video games.

3. who pays for a credit report each month?

You seem to be sitting pretty with money to burn on several frivolous expenses, so don't try crying "I'm on disability" to me. I've gone out many times and sold my blood plasma to keep both my accounts active.

Edit: I apologise to the mods and fellow forum members If I sound harsh.

It seemed that a lot of the guides in that section were for sertin character configs. I was hoping that there are some general guides out there. Thanks

[/ QUOTE ]

Just give our fellow forumites a little time to read your post here and I'm certain you'll have several links to check out. Some of them have guides you can go to in their signatures.

Oh here is a helpful cut and paste from Memphis Bill that explains the tricks to using our search feature. I'd save it to your notepad that way you can refer to it if you ever want to try searching for any particular subject in the future.


[ QUOTE ]
a tip on searching.
1. Click on "Search" up at the top of the forum.
2. On the left, under "Forum(s) to search," select "Suggestions and ideas."
3. On the right, Keyword Search Terms. Try the following, exactly as typed:

+vehicle -"re: "

This will search for anything with the string "vehicle" in the title.The -re: portion of it removes replies, so you'll see the root of every thread that comes up, letting you see just how many threads there are on this. (The last helps for other subjects, as well.)

Be sure to put the space between the colon and last quote.

4. Click the "In subject" radio button. This is a search, not a cute blonde in a bikini. Here, you want to ignore the body.

5. Leave Username Search blank.

6. Date range, Newer Than, change the 1 to a 3, and the time to Months.

7. Result format doesn't matter. Click on "Submit."

[/ QUOTE ]

I recommend checking out the Player Guides section just a few forums down from this one.

I'm also certain some other posters will gladly provide you with some links to some good guides when they read this.

I'm sorry but I don't have any saved myself.

Oh and welcome to the game.

[ QUOTE ]
I like the basis of the idea but don't think it's really feasible. As with most player or user committees, it turns into a popularity contest and rarely does anything worthwhile get looked at or done. And believe me, having lived through this kind of drama repeatedly over the years at various websites, games, etc., I really don't want to bring that here.

EDIT: And a comment on the previous list of names: There is no way in ########### I would ever accept a user committee with P_P and B_I on it.

[/ QUOTE ]

In my defense I again state I was only trying to objective and suggest a group that represented all types of players regardless of my personal feelings.

I tried to cover all bases. Male, female, old, young, intellectual, idiot, PvPer, PvEer, farmer, PLer, basebuilder, Artist, RPer, powergamer, prodev, antidev, All servers.

Also I didn't expect my list to be taken this seriously. So I offer my sincerest apologies if it was taken the wrong way.

Unfortunately, I think I'm unpopular enough here that any decision I was part of would be contested on general principle.

Wow. Talk about an inability to learn from ones mistakes. Are you trying to get yourself banned Havoc_X? Rephrasing your offensive comments in a second post after the first was deleted is just asking for a modsmack. Keep it up and you will lose your forum privleges. You don't have any constitutional rights to free speech here. You have to abide by the companies rules.

Well, I wasn't really thinking of putting together a list of possible nominees, but thanks for that. Maybe Arcanaville would be another good pick. I'd probably warn about having it just be about post count, though. I'd want it to reflect a decent variety of posters to try to get a wide basis for 'judgments.'


Was more just looking at this as a theory of how an alternate CS system might work.

[/ QUOTE ]

There's no way I could remember everyone that should be considered so I just made a short list. Feel free to add anyone I missed.

Wasn't basing it on post count. The "Forum Cartel" remark was made because any group would be accused of being such by B_I regardless of who was selected.

I was trying to pick individuals that I have seen post across all the various forums we have as well as people that don't always agree with eachother (Hence B_I's nomination. Someone has to represent the raving lunatic fringe). A group of yes men would hardly get objective results.

near-total lack of end-game content after 5 years is a perfectly legitimate gripe to make.

It might help if he tried playing CoX.

Your not wanting to make use of the tools available to you to narrow your searches is not justification for the devs to change the current system.

Try searching by the name of the enhancement you want to buy/sell.
Try searching by the level you want to buy/sell.
Try searching by category. SO's, DO's, Crafted, etc.

this game should lower its monthly fee to $9.99 instead of 14.99 imo. its getting old. its 5yrs old now. any game this old should not be going for 14.99/month still. if the rate wasn't so high i would keep my subscription going for a longer time. since its so high i will only subscribe for one more month before quiting.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bye.

Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.

Find a game that doesn't suck that's subscription fee is cheaper. Pretty much ALL MMO's have a fee that is right around $15 a month. I have never heard of one that is lower.

This is a pretty lame "I'm quitting!" post. You knew what the subscription fee was before you opened your account. I can understand quitting because you're dissatisfied with the game, or quitting because you're bored with it. But quitting because the game costs $5 a month more than you want to pay? Okay, sure, it's your call, but posting on the forums to tell us all about it screams "pay attention to me!"

I'm going to wager a guess here, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. You started playing while the broken AE PL farms were in full swing and got to 50 ridiculously fast. Now that you have 1 or more 50's you're under the impression that there isn't anything to do because you skipped over the majority of the game. Since you don't think there's anything to do you feel the subscription fee is too high.

Am I close?
