Ironblade

I would contend that the purpose of the game, at any point in character development, is to have FUN. Certainly, for some people that means advancement of some sort. On the other hand, let's not forget what the first two letters of 'RPG' stand for.

Personally, regarding 'end game content', I *MIGHT* be interested with exactly *ONE* character. I have one character with a ton of badges, all arc clues, dozens and dozens of temp powers. For my other characters, I simply don't bother. Once a toon hits 50, they probably get played about 1/10th as much as before and I start a new one.

And do you speak for the game population in general, or is this YOUR personal experience.
Sweeping generalizations without factual support do not help your position.

Ah-hah! It's an RP group and they are RP'ing dissent in the ranks!

I call BS (and delicious irony).
Sorry, but *TONS* of people think that two people having the same name IS A PROBLEM. How convenient for you to simply hand-wave it away and deny it's an issue except for those who are "needlessly selfish". Oh wait, besides denying the problem exists, you're insulting people, too. Double irony!

Oh, run around and look for it? I don't know the coordinates and forget which side of the city it's on. It's JUST outside the wall - maybe 20, 25 feet from it. The pool isn't really big enough to swim in. It's just big enough to notice that you can submerge rather than swim at the surface. Some of the maps in Cimerora (which is co-op) also have it.

How important is the concept to you? I would say that hardly anyone takes EM because of the performance of the set.

Having said that, I have a lvl 50 inv/EM and if I had the ability to respec his secondary, I would not.

If you plan to solo a lot, it's not a good choice. Of course, neither is ice melee at low level and I soloed that through Flashbacks to unlock Karsis and Hess.

Is that a minus sign? A MINUS SIGN?!?
My dear sir, I must insist that you turn in your monocle.

Don't. Many people only play on one server.
Dual boxing does make a server transfer safer. It lets you have both the sending and receiving characters logged in simultaneously so you can WATCH the market continuously - there is no 'blind spot' while you switch toons.

Given that:
1) Base costs were made DRAMATICALLY cheaper across the board...
2) The market is a SOURCE of influence for many people...
3) I converted ONE BILLION influence to prestige because I had nothing better to do with it...

I honestly don't expect the exchange rate to be changed. Yes, it's an appalling rip-off, but I think we're stuck with it.

Can you cite a source for that? I've been following all the GR information and have not seen anything to that effect.

Well, we knew almost nothing about their world before. Anyway, didn't we find them? And then start nosing around? Sounds like we're the invading bad guys.


Say WHAT??? Morality non-existent in his mind.... wait, maybe I'm misinterpreting the sentence. Do you mean that Rorschach saw a lack of morals AROUND him? If so, I agree. If you saying he had no concept of morality, I'd say you're dreaming.


Because a lot of people flat-out don't like playing bad guys. If they were clearly bad guys, there would be less interest from the playerbase.

Insult to injury; evil pop-up bubbles.

They currently have the script to purge names on toons below level 6 on accounts that have been inactive 90+ days. Since trial accounts can go up to level 14, I think they should change the script to characters under level 15. The 'inactive 90 days' part sounds reasonable.

Oh, by the way, what "naming issue" are you talking about?

War Witch! While there may be software/game issues with having someone be both a contact and a trainer, there are TWO of her! One could be a TF contact and the other a trainer.

Unavoidable risk of posting in a public forum.

But your attitude stinks.

True. Of course, this explains a rep comment like the following:
.

Yes, just a period to satisfy the requirement that a -rep has SOME text.

To point out the obvious: the information we have available to us is contained right in the text YOU posted.

You've already got the full text of Positron's comments.
Why are you asking us?

Well, yes, I just don't like it, but I do have reasons. Mainly, it just doesn't seem heroic to me to have 2 or 5 or 20 heroes with the same name. It seems SILLY. And some might say, "But they chose to use that name." But did they all choose to use a name used by many others? Did they know? And shouldn't being first count for something?

Then there's the 'unique identifier' issue. Sure, there are 'workarounds' but it seems to me that whenever something is described as a 'workaround', it's a clumsy compromise rather than a clean and effective solution.

Also, I'm accustomed to it being the way it currently is. I'm not inherently averse to change, but (as I've noted) I think this would be a BAD change.


It's an idiomatic expression. Really, they do both depending on your position.
