I have to agree here. I do not believe anyone would honestly be genuinely offended to me saying "I feel liked I have been gypped." OR "They gypped me!". I can see a whole lot of people who seem to feel they need to be "Politically Correct" and therefore CHOOSING to be be offended. Kinda like some people were choosing to be offended over a certain Halloween Badge. Anyways, I think I will start using to term more often now just to annoy people that purposely try to find reasons to be offended.

I had a similar problem getting booted from the game multiple times while trying to do the arc co-operatively with one of my toons, while my other toon had no problem what so ever. It was even on a small team (3 members) and at a WAY OFF PEAK time.

I noticed some animation bugs dealing with various "portals" and was wondering if anyone else has seen them. First is the door on the ship for Striga/Talos/IP, click on it and the door opens, but takes a LONG time for anything else to happen. My last count was 15 seconds before I clicked on the door again and finally went through. Second is SG Base Portal. When you click on it instead of the energy aura and then zoning, you start walking and fade away. Lastly, is the man-holes/pits. Click on them and instead of jumping in, you start walking and fade away just like the Base Portals.
I know, these are all minor and all, just wondering if anyone is seeing them too. -
Actually ChainedBulldog, I think you will find that most of the posters here agree with you. Paragon Studios/NCsoft needs to do something about their jacked up store. They have needed to do this for a while and seem to keep ignoring it instead.

Quote:And so your not happy because they are giving you a FREE respec in the first place? Dude, its FREE to begin with, deal with it. It is not the companies fault that you never used it before.I believe that there is a major problem with the respec token process: it will rob everyonein the game who allready has a free respec token available to them.
Let me explain:
I allready have a free respec available on just about every toon I own. I like to keep one available in case of emergencies.
i19 comes out with a free respec, but I allready have one, so it will not stack. I will need to respec all of my toons, not once, but twice!
I know that we are getting a second free respec one week later, but I will stil need to use it for my second build!
Where will be my "in case of emergency" respec after I respec all of my toons because of i19 ? -
Quote:I second this idea. Talk about really getting people involved in the game then!Ok, first a question
Can we make moving advertisments with after effects? *grins*
Second, a suggestion! How about giving the top winner a prize of claiming a building in the game and put in a badge.
So, if they do an ad that wins for a coffee shop...you put up a sign for the coffee shop somewhere and let people enter into a small loby with a badge in it (or if the ad is a business, you put in a door on a skyscrapper that does the same thing with a loby and a badge for the business / corporation).
I think a lot of people would really go after that! -
Personally I am hoping that this is Issue 19 finally going live. That said, I am so going to laugh my butt off at all the pissed off people if it isn't. It really wouldn't be all that surprising if it was nothing more than fixing the monkey farm exploit in the AE.
Still, I will continue to hope it is Issue 19 while keeping a very tight reign on my enthusiasm. -
Strange, I logged in at 5AM local time (Hawaii) to see if there were any deals not listed and they all showed up just fine for me. That would make it 10AM Eastern so you should have been able to see the deals by the time you posted this.
-
Good luck to anyone that enters. It will be interesting to see the results.

Quote:I've made up to three in a single day, but I have had friends that were stopped at one and two on different occassions. I'm guessing it's some sort of glitch.If you use PayPal, you can buy multiple things from the NCSoft store per day. At least I can, anyway... I think I bought 5 Boosters/Packs for my secondary account in one day when my girlfriend at the time said she wanted to start playing CoH with me.
I've found that if I use my credit card for a single purchase on the NCSoft store, though, I'm locked out any further purchases for 24 hours. -
Personally I think this is a big problem with Paragon Studios. I understand hype. It is necessary to get people excited and keep them excited about a game or pretty much anything you are trying to sell really. There is a fine line between too little hype and too much hype. Too little and you don't excite people, too much and you can't live up to it so you end up disappointing people. Personally, I think Paragon Studios errs on the side of too much hype.

Quote:Not only did they miss the date, but the "apology" post from WW was put out a day AFTER the tentative live date. At least when they (Positron if I remember right) announced that the Alpha Slot would not go into GR as previously promised they said something a good LONG time before hand, not the day after it was supposed to go live.Point of order, lol?
OK, your honor, the devs clearly indicated the alpha slot would be in GR. It wasn't. Now it's in i19 (whenever that releases), and late. They said they were shooting for the 16th. They missed that date, now it's later still. So, yeah, they absolutely can be 'late' on stuff they tell us they are releasing, and they are most certainly late in getting out the first incarnate slot.
Is it the end of the world? Of course not. But to claim they're not late on something when in fact they clearly are, is nothing less than fantasy.
To be honest I am still OK with them holding this until they get it fixed, I am just not so happy about the history of tardiness this company has. -
I'm wondering if the"store" will work better for this than it does when new packs get released. I watched and saw people were having a heck of a time getting the new Origins Pack for quite a while after it was released. Can any Red Names comment on whether the store has been fixed yet? It really would be disappointing if people missed out on this AND the one day "Cyber-Sale" because you didn't do something.
-
No, the store allows for 3 purchases per day, when it is working right. Unfortunately only one at a time though and each time you have to re-input your card info since the store will not save the data for some reason.

Quote:OMG! I LMFAO! Very good point.Man, I wish ncsoft was as forgiving about our end of the deal as you are with theirs. Call them up and tell them that you really wanted to send in your game fees on the due date, but due to technical difficulties you have to delay.
NCSoft: "Thats OK electric knight, we LOVE our players and really appreciate the fact you've supported our game over the years, so don't worry about this months bill, send it in whenever you want! We know you agreed to send it in on the (insert date here), but it's ok if you just guess or make up dates then just send it in whenever you want. Heck, if you do send it in, to us it's just 'extra'! Thanks again for being a super-duper customer. We're gonna send you a free code for the party pack just for the heck of it. Is your address still 34 gumdrop lane in candyland?" -
Quote:I haven't purchased any of the booster packs, but I'd be the most interested in the Martial Arts pack. I'll check on the 29th to see if they happen to put it on sale too. If they do, I'll probably buy it.Quote:Same here. Ever since they buffed Sprint, Ninja Run + Sprint allows you to travel fast enough to be on the same level as the other travel powers. That is just too good for me to ignore. It's like you can buy a travel power now. I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

It's too bad the Origins Pack is not on the list of sale items, I would actually buy it then, HAPPILY so too. As for the Party Pack, I wouldn't even buy that one at 75% off.

Quote:I could be wrong in reading the posts on the Dom/Kheld problem, but it seems to be that any toons on the test server before a certain Issue 19 patch there could not properly respec the toons while toons brought in after that patch didn't have a problem. Now I am not computer expert, but if this is the case, what happens to every Dom/Kheld toon on the live servers once this patch goes out to Live? We may suddenly not be able to "fix" ANY of those toons and would have to instead remake them. I can only imagine the problems this would cause with the player base. I don't think there would be a lot of people that quit the game over it, but there would be some, as well as a lot of ill will toward the company in general. In all better to wait and get the fix in place BEFORE it goes live.The problem, regardless of when it was discovered, was that it only affects SOME players. Several of my buddies have had zero problems respec-ing and not having powers stop working.
On the other hand, I've seen several threads discussing the bug.
So its clearly happening for some folks and not for others. Which makes it all sorts of fun for the developers. -
No thanks, I have at least 5 on every single toon of mine and up to 8 or 9 on some. The talk about the Respec Tokens just got me thinking about the Recipes and how I had never gotten one. I wouldn't be surprised if I was a casual gamer, but I am not (most of the time) and I do a lot of TFs / SFs as well. So I wasn't sure if they were still a legitimate reward.
-
Thank you for the information WW. I really do appreciate it. I just have one question, is there any way to test this Issue out so that it isn't super LAG for two weeks after it goes live? I'm not talking the lag created by the peak times play either, just the lag that seems to come out with every new Issue.

Quote:But much more devious GG, much more devious.The map is from one of the Ouroboros TFs.
EDIT: I'm still not toally sure what fingercuffs are - I'm assuming they're like handcuffs, only smaller?
I decided to blow some time and check out the mission. In all better than I expected and worse than I had hoped for. I did like the map choice, but for something that might be considered a "canon" comedy, the location was wrong. It seems like a salute to the show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" and so I gave it a point for that. Unfortunately it was just lack-luster and with spelling errors in the enemy chat it just did not come off that well.
In the end I gave it a 3 out of 5 and was probably being pretty generous. -
I have to completely agree with you there.

So you teach your children to be seen and not heard. Gotcha. I teach mine to actually be a part of society and not just watching it from the outside.
