    Ahem... Pocket D on Freedom is easily the 2nd most populated zone... year round.

    Freedomites use Pocket D as their meeting place for:
    Incarnate Trials
    PVP

    It is not uncommon to see multiple instances of PD on Freedom; especially during peak times/days.

    So while PD may be an abandoned "zone" on your server it is far from abandoned on Freedom.

    Nether....your suggestion has no merit as it will not 1. supply any amount of inf sink to this game and 2. Discredits a much loved/earned veteran power. the PURPOSE of WW/BM is not a social hub it is to complete transactions either on the market or with the merit vendor. The PURPOSE of Pocket D... oh wait.. yeah it is.. a dance club...you know a SOCIAL place.

    I don't go to my bank to get all chit chatty and social with strangers....I do however go to a club to get my groove on and have fun....

    Except for the fact that...you know.. I do use chat... just because I am not RPing does not mean the conversations I am having are not game related and/or important to myself as well as others (league).

    RP is not the only form of communication which requires people to pay attention. And no...throughout the invasions etc...I did not find it difficult to convey my messages in league or global chan messages.

    Maybe you should have... RPed the event into your conversation.... The trial I was on...did...and it was quite funny. Am I the only who thinks it is a tad hypocritical you are upset over a RP conversation in the admin chan...because it interferes with your RP? If anything the messages when I was on brought players together..you know..community. We all laughed and joked about poor Nemesis and how he was gonna get his butt handed to him etc etc...light RP if you may.

    NOTE: This is what I and other players want in the game! not that they are REALLY going in the game, but we can hope!

    This is a list of mine that me and friends came up with to change in the game to better suit the player. Most of these are "ADD TO GAME" but there are some for Changes.

    Here is the list, also i will be adding any thing we come up with to this list, also others can add things to this list as well, just post below.

    1. REMOVE - Remove Player Bounding Box (We don't like getting pushed around all the time by random people.)
    2. ADD - Add more unique dances.
    3. ADD - Decline-Buffs/Powers Options. (resetting current emotes when buffed.)
    4. ADD - Spammer global Ignore list. (The ignore list is to short, and there are lots of spammers out there.)
    5. COSTUME: Trench Coat - more skins for the trench coat, Leather is not enough.
    6. ADD - More colors! the color lists are great, but it would be nice if we could get LOTS of colors. much like the Chat bubble system.
    7. ADD - Customizable Mastermind Pets (choose from a list of skins for each pet of type)
    8. ADD - Animation Proliferation Across the board
    9. ADD/CHANGE - Someone selling inspirations in DA.
    10. COSTUME: Leg Details (Much like Chest Details, something like Gun/ammo Holsters or pads)
    11. CHANGE - Male + Female = same armor (No limit to either sex.)
    12. ADD - More Monstrous Leg Options (Also Leg Details *See #10*)

    ok sure why not. Granted most of these have already been asked for numerous times.

    RPing.. none...tried it years ago...didn't like it.
    Trials...I do roughly 7-10 a day and have not had this interfere one bit.
    Other situation...hasn't bothered me in the slightest.

AND HERE'S ANOTHER FAMILY FOR A PIE!" etc, etc, etc for the course of the entire sale. Oh, AND SHOUTED AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS SO IT DROWNS OUT EVERYONE ELSE AND YOU CAN'T JUST TUNE IT OUT.
    Really?? Wow... cuz uhmm I have no problem tuning it out.
    See big red announcement...read it ..make sure it's not like "servers are going down..." and continue to play.

    If it was customizable I would buy it....otherwise ..meh.

    The only "travel" power worth purchasing imo is the team transport. I am not a fan of the one's that detoggle everything etc....

    I MIGHT be inclined to purchase one if they had a bird/bat transformation power.

    It would be nice if they'd make another channel for the GMs/Devs to use during live events rather than spamming the admin channel which is unfilterable and scrolls EVERY DAMN WINDOW. I'm not against them running live events. Quite the opposite, actually. But, if I'm not interested at the time, I'd like to be able to carry on chatting/RPing/etc without BIG BOLD RED TEXT scrolling all of my windows constantly.

    Frietag's response was they want everyone to know what's going on so they can get involved, but, really, the comparison I used is it's like being at Denny's with your friends talking about a movie and suddenly the manager pops up and starts shouting about football.

    Sure, announce the event in the admin channel when it starts and maybe a line now and then during to let people know, but using they go WAAAAAY overboard with the spam. It's obnoxiously disruptive. And being told basically "We know it's annoying but tough @#$%, it's for your own good" is extremely off-putting.
    Except your analogy would be better if you stated the Manager of Denny's came into the main room and yelled "Apple Pie will be going on sale in 10 minutes!" The admin channel is used to announce ya know.. game stuff not totally random stuff like "woohoo my team just won the superbowl!"

    Concur with people who say - lighten up

    1. You mean premium and free?

    2. What is the proper way?? Because I used to do sewers from 2-6/7...kinda like how I do DFB from 2-7 now.

    3. Huh?? Is my main server the server I initially started on (Guardian)?? I left that server back in like June/July 2005. Or is my main server Freedom because that's where 90% of my characters are?

    QFT - there realllly is no need to start a new thread on the exact same subject - saying the exact same thing every month. It doesn't get your point across any more than it did before...just saying

    So...

    What's the deal with Exalted???

    Just from reading the forums one would think it is full of drama and egos....

    Some friends and I were considering transferring toons there for a change of pace, but from what little activity is posted here on the forums... has me thinking otherwise.

    Hmm.... maybe I will create an alt and see what's what before deciding.
  16. I Burnt The Toast
    Alright... Here is my more in depth explanation:

    If I go into DA at level 50 with no incarnates slotted...and my rep is at +4x8 the baddies would be 54.

    Now DA recognizes incarnate shifts...as a combat level.

    So let's say I get to 50+2... I would want the baddies...still at the setting of +4x8 to be:
    54+2.

    This does not affect people playing the DA content who are 50 and wanna run it at 50.... because +0 would still make them 50. I just think the incarnate shifts should play into the equation.

    I like running the DA arcs on my toons, but I usually do it when not a lot of friends are on or I am bored. With the current settings...even at +4 it is not much of a challenge for my toons....just want the fight to feel like a fight

    ...Just saying.
    Never said I was 53 I specifically said: 50+3

    But just like in the trials the baddies could be:
    54+2 etc

    I love the invasions and don't really have lag issues (And no I do not have some uber computer hehe) - I just run things on performance setting.

    With the Nem invasion it has been nice to get the unveiler badge easily - aside from that and the boss badge though I don't run it unless friends ask.
  19. I Burnt The Toast
    Can't find a team?? Easiest thing I found is to lead a team.

    Until the LFG tab is here... I suggest announcing in Broadcast and Help.

    Make some global friends - teamed with someone who is good/entertaining/etc...ask them to be global friends

    Join a VG/SG - If you don't wanna be a lackey in someone's SG/VG - create your own

    Going Rogue also opens up both sides for you which will give you the full spectrum of available players.
  20. I Burnt The Toast
    I just wish the difficulty slider worked in DA. If I am 50+3 and my slider is set to +4.... just saying.
  21. I Burnt The Toast
    You can also use the merit vendor to get random large insps for 1 merit....
  22. I Burnt The Toast
    No opinion really on the matter; since I just use 2 transfers to accomplish this.

    As far as the excuses on why transfer to rename is "meh" - deal with it.. at least you have SOME .. FREE... option of achieving this.

    And I second the: lolprestige comment. Prestige is meaningless since your/the SG does not LOSE the prestige you earned -- so to me it's all about bragging rights on the roster page. These mega SGs that require prestige make me literally "lol" almost as much as the players who go along with it. Once a SG has x amount of prestige the rest just sits there...and does nothing. Prestige requirements is one of the many reasons I just have my own SG.....

    Fixing PvP?

    It isn't the only reason.

    You are ignoring common complaints like: Powers working differently, being defeated before you can react, Arena simply not working, steep learning curve, no real rewards.

    The developers of this game create content (sometimes they allow us create content). If the content isn't fun or doesn't work then most folks are going to avoid it. Anyone who has played this game for a significant amount of time can list missions, TFs, or powersets that they have avoided because of broken or stupid mechanics. PvP in CoX failed, in part, because the content sucked.

    To state that PvP in Cox failed *only* because a vocal minority of people were mean is to imply that folks would have had no problem putting up with stupid/broken PvP mechanics. Again, random crashes, steep learning curve, powers working differently, being defeated before you can react, exploits/bugs (and the speed at which they were addressed), no rewards....

    I don't want to muck up the OP's thread anymore than I already have. Feel free to PM me man if you want to discuss this further.
    NO ONE said the pancakes in the pvp zones are the ONLY reason pvp is in the dismal state that it is....

    People have said it is ONE of the main reasons though.... FYI the things you listed are quite low on my reasons why I no longer pvp...

    I adapted to the i13 mechanics; which is unfortunately one of the MAIN reasons pvpers say no one is pvping. If you like to do something you will find a way to enjoy it even if it changes somewhat...and fyi pre i13 pvp sucked just as bad.

    I however did quit pvp after years of pancakes getting worse and worse. I tried over and over to bring friends into pvp, but their reasons for abandoning it were:
    pancakes
    crappy rewards
    uber builds

    So now the friends that I brought into the game...we pvp in arena every now and then for fun - cuz ya know that's what the game is supposed to be about - fun.

    Unfortunately for SOME pvpers...their idea of fun (whirling obscenities etc) drove/drives away MANY players.

    No

    I have one of every main AT (no HEATs/VEATs)... My brute is basically my second string tank who can also shell out damage. If a team truly "needs" a tank I will switch to my tanker though.
