This part we can answer.
Anything stored in the SG bins *IS NOT YOURS* any more. The prestige IS NOT YOURS. The items are in *SG STORAGE* and will stay there. The prestige belongs to the SG and it will stay there. Even if you are the only person in the SG, the items are considered as belonging to the SG and not to you (or any one character). If you were to switch servers, the items in storage would stay behind.

Items carried on your character will go with you. It sounds like you have way more stuff stored than you can possibly carry. You'll have to deal with that.

As an aside, the inspirations will not be an issue. We have been told that cross-faction inspiration trading is definitely on the way. The ability to trade anything else is unknown. Personally, I would not expect it. If the markets are not being merged, I don't think they will allow trading of recipes or enhancements.

Roleplaying.
I need my Shivan to be able to do emotes.

How can we bear the crushing burden of having to live with this terrible injustice?

By the way, that is a TERRIBLE example. Does your rent adjust for shorter months? Does your phone bill? Does your cable bill? Billing on a fixed date is *STANDARD* across many industries. Therefore, yes, you do end up paying more per day in short months.

Then chalk it up to the general wonkiness of the vet rewards. Mine have not 'crept up' and are hitting the dates based on calendar months.

Well, to be fair, it's on a separate tab so if you're displaying the global tab, you're not seeing Help chat.


Oh, I think we're getting new players. I've started spending time in the Hollows again and have been meeting plenty of new players - some on trials, but mostly on full accounts with zero vet badges.


I think all of this is spot-on, except the final sentence. Any community, SG, groups of friends, etc is basically an organic system. There is no stasis in nature. If it's not growing, then it's dying. Any community that seals itself off and becomes totally insular will die off. If you're not constantly making new friends, you'll eventually be alone.

But don't you see that most of this is the same sort of made-up/convenient arguments that Walk got hit with?

"Walk does not affect game balance." Gee, I guess vehicles will be introduced in a manner that doesn't affect game balance.

"It doesn't interfere with others playing the game." Not seeing this point at all. When I move through a public area, I affect other players. Whether I'm superspeeding, walking or using a vehicle is secondary.

People grasped at all kinds of reasons why walking was impossible while I insisted that it could have drastic restrictions and still be great. The example I used was the flypose emotes. They don't have strafing and are incompatible with power animations and it doesn't matter.

I'm not saying that vehicles are as simple as walking, but I am saying that I can't understand why people seem almost desperate to grasp at any possible explanation of why it will never happen.

It would be cool. It may happen, or it may not.


I do think that would be useful, but I can see how that would be a lot of work. Every object that it's possible to sit on would need additional information encoded for it, like: what direction you need to face when sitting on it, whether it has a backrest or wall behind it, how far from the edge to the back, etc.

Except they don't calculate it that way. If they did, my vet rewards would be showing up 5 days earlier every year and they don't.

(shrug) Probably because you're asking how to do something that can be annoying to other players. Setting it up as a macro suggests you plan to use it a lot. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to set up a macro to auto-fire my healing aura every time I go into Wentworth's......

hm, you expect a 'knuckle-rapping' for taking the position that anyone who doesn't agree with you is, what? Deluded, stupid or lying?

An intelligent person can observe the game and say it's obvious the population has declined, while another intelligent person can make the same observations and conclude it hasn't dropped at all. Without access to actual numbers, any method of observation is suspect - particularly since new game elements alter the dynamics of the population (shifting into missions, out of missions, to specific zones, etc).

Well there's your answer! We're all lurking on the forums instead of playing.

Ah yes, one of the EXACT arguments against our ever having a Walk power. It's not worth the effort for what is basically an RP tool.

Deja vu. Some of the exact same reasons why we will never have a Walk power. Oh, wait, we have that now.

Just like with the walk power, give us vehicles with draconian restrictions and we'll be thrilled.

At the very least, let us land on the blimp in Atlas Park.

And, as I said, I strongly disagree. I think they are worth buying - accuracy only.

umm...

Five would be better. I did the STF once with five illusion controllers on the team. Quite the mob scene.

So you're bored with the game, but news about something being released in 4-6 months is going to get you to log in and play now?

They aren't all like that.
Like what? It doesn't matter like what. That's the point. There is a tremendous variety out there.

It's pretty efficient if you have a group of people, each with multiple toons they can cycle through. I have not done this for recipes, but I (and a lot of other people) did it to get 400 rep for the badges back before the recipes existed.

A rep-valid kill per minute is certainly doable if people are paying attention. And this was when it had a 10 minute timer. With a 5 minute timer, it's not as finicky a process.

A) Don't make lists.
B) When you make lists, use numbers and not letters.

Well, if I come into town and the guy shoveling out the stable is named Tom, I wouldn't even blink. If the guy knee-deep in feces is named Aurigus Demonslayer, that would seem odd.

Strongly disagree with this. Apparently, so do many other people in this thread - all the ones specifically recommending slotting ACCURACY at low levels.
