I agree about the communication thing, but you can't force people to read the information. Far too many of the people complaining are guilty of willful ignorance. They'll still be making the same complaints.

To bad there isn't a Trial that they can run where being unslotted doesn't matter while they sell the drops to make inf. Maybe somewthing in the Sewers, and a way to toggle off exp so they don't have to worry about leveling while they reslot their builds.

Yeah, it's a shame there isn't a feature that let's them use a second build that they can slot regular DO's and SO's.

It's a shame there isn't a feature that let's them pull enhancements off of a build like a repec or enhancement unslotter.

Quite the contrary. It's seems to me that NCSoft is more than fair.


So what. Before September 2011, they couldn't play the game at all unless they had a subscription. As has been mentioned above just switch to your secondary build and you can continue playing the characters with regular enhancements.

I have over 100 alts and only a handful use IO's.

Actually if I recall it was more than one. It was reported that certain people would have to be, not working for the company anymore.

If you want to unlock something for a character that can only be obtained by switching to another faction then you want to be there in order to get it. Otherwise you do without it because you don't really want it.

Uhm, I hate to break the news to you, but the villain population already dropped like a stone during the first year after GR launched. The people there now are the ones that want to be there whether they're visiting or permanent.

Depends on how over the top your rage is.

Pfft. Why choose, make both. Altitis = Win.

That was a deliberate game design decision the devs made before the game launched. When the game was being developed Origins had a major impact on character design. The devs realized it was a bad idea and tore it out of the game, and instead made Origins a role-playing choice. The DO's and SO's all have the exact same modifiers regardless of Origin.

While Origin specific missions sounds cool in theory, why should players be penalized by preventing them from getting certain missions because they chose the wrong character concept.

While I agree with you, I mainly mentioned it in an attempt to cover all the pros and cons for consideration. Personally I have 3 SG's I've inherited that I'd love to change the names of whose original founders have been gone at least 3 years.

While a cool down period might discourage a group of players from abusing SG name changing, I don't think it would bother the SG thiefs. You know the ones that somehow get promoted to Super Leader and then take the SG for themselves.

Considering how many players have multiple accounts it wouldn't be hard for someone who gets the SL rank to invite an alt on a second account into an SG, promote it up to SL, kick everyone from the SG including his original character in order to maintain the illusion of innocence, and change the SG name so no one would ever recognise it.

What about the cooldown period? Well if it takes "x" number of days to go into effect the thief simply does not log onto the secondary account until after cooldown expires and the name change goes into effect.

CS has already made it crystal clear that they will not get involved with these "thefts" because as far as their concerned the Super Leader is the defacto owner of an SG and everything in it.

Yeah it's a shame you have to give up on completing all that level 20 to 50 Praetorian specific content.

Where in my post did I give you the idea I was in Atlas Park when that happened? If you must know where I was, it was in Peregrine Island, one of the warehouses near the docks.

If I had to guess, it's probably because I'm a popular person where people avoid you. Of course I only have the frequency with which I get tells and blind invites while using /hide to go by so my data is incomplete.



First off I don't know how you construe a funny anecdote as a complaint. Maybe you didn't find it funny but I and my SGmates found the twits antics funny as hell.

Second what difference does it make that I responded to your post after you responded to mine? That is usually how conversations work here on planet Earth.

Oh and what am I mistaken or being disingenuous about? Do you think I'm mistaken that people have other reasons than sociability for using /hide? Or is it that you don't think I'm sincere in my belief that most people using /hide do so for reasons other than being less sociable?

If it's the former then I'll need more evidence than just your statement before I'll believe otherwise. My opinions are based on nearly 8 years of interacting with the other players in the game. If it's the latter, well, I won't lose any sleep if you doubt my sincerity about why people use /hide.

I've been told that in game and my current response is, "You're absolutely right, but I'm not required to team with you. Welcome to my ignore list."

I've been told that too. I tell them that when they send in the petition to make sure they spell my global name right so the wrong person doesn't get "banned".

Well, in my defense I didn't say "everyone" used it to avoid jerks. I left some out because they might have different reasons.
