Rory stole the show with this episode, I think. He's been one of my favourite things of Eleven!Doctor Who.
This weekend just gone I took my lady to the Globe Theatre and we watched Arthur playing Mephistopheles in Doctor Faustus. He, and the rest of the cast, were bloody marvelous

Quote:No, the episode stated specific reasons why it was possible in this situation, why the normal rules of "having met the later version fixed it for your time line" didn't apply. Which was the massive numbers of time lines coexisting on top of each other and the fall out from the temporal engines.Originally Posted by PRAF68_EU
In this case, I think it's important. This episode suggests that the Doctor could rescue the infant Melody Pond and return her to her parents. However, if he did this River Song would never exist, and he wouldn't get his big romance. Thus, he is acting entirely selfishly. Which is, of course, part of the trap.

Your not part of continental Europe, but being only 21 miles away at the Straight(s) (can never remember if it's straight or straights) of Dover, the English are close enough for me to be included in the European community. No offense intended.

No caveats, no exclusions. If you have 100,000 inf, you don't generate any more from mobs. Earn it through drops and the market.

1-5 Star rating systems was never going to work very well, as anyone that remembers the days when we could star forum users. Over time a 3 star rating is the best anyone can expect. I was always surprised I managed to keep a 3 star rating
I would much rather see a pure "rep" system, like that used by some forum software. Where you only "rep" things positively and you cannot repeat rep the same author.
I would also like to be able to personally rate reviewers. This would mean all story reviews are public and you could potentially find reviewers with tastes that closely match your own.
Some rating systems use a system or individual "credit", these typically allow you to give something a negative rating but it impacts your own. Hopefully discouraging needless pointless negative comments and completely preventing people that exist just to 1 star. -
Quote:This^Originally Posted by Father Xmas
We didn't have an end game for over six years so excuse me for not thinking that denying it to Freemies and Preemies as a problem.
I look at Freem and see that I can do everything I did with my first 50 (some 600 hours) without spending a penny with the exception of some chat options (removed for sensible reasons). Everything else (bases, inventions etc etc) do not constitute the core game. You might feel differently if your first 50 was a controller though
I also think its good business sense to leave some things subscription only. Having subscribed long enough to have permanent Invention access and having bought more that one costume pack, if I got the Incarnate content as well then NCSoft might never get another penny from me So while I don't think a request for a one off purchase of Incarnate content is unreasonable I don't think it makes good business sense.

You don't get a third build "at level 50". You get a third build "after completing Mender Ramiel's arc" - which is locked behind Incarnate System access (and thus VIP only). So a person will either a) have to unlock the third build before Freedom launches (which means subbing for a month), or b) sub for a month after Freedom launches, to unlock the third build.
I didn't know that! I've done the arc too.

Quote:You are not forced to resub. I've played my heavily IO'd characters on Beta when they were locked out and they played fine. Just create another build if its that much of a problem.Originally Posted by Death_Badger
Because £10 spent on a sub is £10 that I would have spent on other stuff, be it costumes/power sets whatever. I would feel happier being able to return to the game and buy a powerset or some costume pieces rather than being forced to resub just to play my old characters.
But you are saying that this is "pushing you away" which I just don't get. If you carry on paying what you pay now you will get the same and more. If you pay nothing you will still get to play. You will have gained a lot. So it does sound like you are complaining that you won't get everything you've got today for free.Quote:Originally Posted by Death_Badger
I'm not complaining, simply stating that the way in which Freedom works will actively discourage some people from playing. People on these forums seem so happy to attack anyone that states they would rather play the game as a premium player. -
Quote:That makes no sense. Previously you would have had to resub, post-freedom you will have to resub to get certain features. No idea why you feel hard done by? *shrug*Originally Posted by Death_Badger
I'm one of those people that the premium system will probably push away for good. in the past I've subscribed for short bursts meaning I have 45 months veteran status on one account, 27 on the second, meaning I'll be short of what is needed for the invention system, which is the one thing that keeps me coming back. All of my 50s are IOed up. So in order to play them I'd need to resub each time which sort of defeats the whole point of premium.
Plus if you have reached tier 7 you get life time access to the Invention system as well and at 45 months I think you are on Tier 6, so not long for you to sub before that happens. What are you complaining about? -
*flippant comment about time loops in Oro*
I'd recommend ether petitioning a GM or just counting yourself as blessed and run it again
PS: Might be worth asking a MOD to move this out of the guides section and into Player Questions where more people will see it. -
Quote:There has always been a significant lag on prestige costs and sometimes it gets its knickers in a twist. I think logging usually solves the issue. Can be a real pain when you are trying to switch between configurations thoughOriginally Posted by Wanderer
So I'm starting to add rooms. After placing the Control Room, I have about 118000 Prestige remaining but when I go to place the 2x2 Teleport Room (cost: 100000 Prestige) for the Raid Telepad, the game tells me that I don't have enough infamy.
I'm on the Hero side. Infamy? WTF?

Quote:Unfortunately this is true.Originally Posted by Daemodand
People like to pretend they are protecting the game from a lawsuit by getting people genericed, but the above is the actual truth of the matter. It's a form of PvP, people destroying a character just because they can.
This is not true.Quote:Originally Posted by Daemodand
The lawsuit was settled a long time ago, there is no threat at all of a new lawsuit, and there is no need whatsoever for any player to report TM violations. Absolutely none. Except the above mentioned PvP.
If someone reports a character for violation I believe a GM takes a look before you get generic'd. However if you make a reasonable case you can get you character reinstated. I know of two cases, one called Ms Albion (who got reinstated) and one that had "Angel" in part of his name (but was nothing like the Marvel character in appearance or origin) that did not. The difference between the two cases (as far as I can see) was that one of the players was a lawyer
Good luck.
PS: I suspect that if you tried hard enough you could find a similar published character to almost any character! -
Nice ideas, particularly the buffable target.
I'm not expecting base updates any time soon though

Quote:BBC in the UK cannot show adverts, not even for their own DVDs.Originally Posted by DarkGob
Did the BBC also show an ad for Doctor Who toys, or was that just on BBC America?
I thought it was a decent episode, all pretty obvious but aimed for the younger viewer I think. Next weeks episode has me thinking of Sapphire and Steel. -
Quote:The 90s movie suit didn't have scales, the rubber bunched up when he moved and I kept getting distracted by his rubber ears. So I never thought the 90s suit was very faithful at all.Originally Posted by SuperOz
It wouldn't...until you saw it on screen. A scalemail vest with essentially just...clothes? No way will a modern audience raised on X-suits up through to Iron Man armors swallow that look, no matter how faithful. I refer you to the Matt Salinger 1990 movie that looks authentic yet absolutely horrendous at the same time.

Assuming developer resource was not a problem I would "balance" the market by making an off line version. I would make it a game in and of itself, called something like "Wentworths Day Trader." The conceit would be that you are a special broker hired by Wentworths to look after the interests of a number of clients from a variety of different dimensions i.e. all your characters. It would track how much money you have made for Wentworths*
The idea being that you could log into a browser, access all your characters' goodies, move them around and buy and sell on the market. It would also give improved visibility of selling prices and track them over time, like a proper financial web site.
It would probably mean the end of flipping but I am sure ebil marketeers would come up with other money making schemes.
It would also mean I could play the market over lunch time at work and not during my "game time" which would be a serious win for me.
*The Blackmarket too, but we all know Wentworths runs the BM right? -
Quote:Also, at some point over the last 2 years they "fixed" an apparent problem with 50s inf rates so they are earning more for the same task, twice as much I believe.Originally Posted by Fulmens
3. With the Incarnate system people are playing their 50's more and their under-50s less. Any 50 can make 2 million an hour by sneezing. Any 50 that can get on an ITF (ie not playing like midafternoon on Pinnacle) can make 5 or 10 million an hour. Any level 40 can make, like, 10% of that. So even MORE inf in the system.

Maybe if you ask some of the nice forum people like MTS they will make you a custom replacement for the map disc that will really stand out.
Personally I would not object if the Devs made a larger version an option, although it seems to be defeating the point of the things imo. And if they dis make it an option they better do it AFTER the make those stupid Mario Discs optional.
