And we think we have it bad. Imagine the servers going down at 10pm on a Friday night



Really NCSoft seem to adopted a "whatever suits us best" approach with little thought gone into how it affects non-US based accounts.

But thats slightly different. thats a demographic of players choosing to play on a server in a foreign country that operates in different time zones.

we are a demongraphic of players that chose to play on servers which were operated in our time zone.

Indeed. Except the MA server is cross-region. I really wouldn't like to see what happens to peoples in progress MA arcs if we could log on without the MA Server being active. At a guess I'd say it'd be "crossing the streams" bad.

It makes sense that if the MA server goes down so does the EU

It doesn't make sense that no-one from NCSoft (not even Techman) is capable of making a post saying "Oh the servers will be down today from 1pm BST"

[/ QUOTE ]


Ahhh but the market runs on a seperate server and is cross-server yet we were stil lable to have our seperate maintenance windows (when that wasnt involved)

presumuably, and its a big assumption, but to be cross-region MA must run on a similar seperate server to the market, you would hope it could be taken down for maintenance without affecting the main game.

But i think the point still stands that they should elect to have their maintenance window at a time suitable to players accross all regions if they have to affect everyone at once.

They mentioned the Cyborg Booster emotes on the store. Hmm. Hope they don't make a habbit of missing minor details out.

lets call it a happy suprise.

I kinda wish i15 would be a small issue with no major changes or some mindblowing new plot. Dont get me wrong, I love new stuff, but with the issue 14 bringing so much new content (at least for me), I wanna take my time to play and rewiew that content. I fear that if there would be a new zone or lvl cap rise, it would take players away from the AE. New booster pack, new SF for villains, thats what I would like to see in i15.

[/ QUOTE ]

That would be the worst thing to happen to the game ever.

"hello everyone that didnt really like the sound of MA back when we announced it for i13, and then had to loose an issue to it because everyone thought of some interesting new features. now to make up for it we give you...nothing!"

yeah, id be gone in a flash, as I imagine many others, given whats coming out shortly.

[ QUOTE ]
Actually, I think they're going to be playing I15 very close to their chests. After all, wouldn't want the competition stealing any (more) of your ideas, would you?

[/ QUOTE ]

imo, a bad idea.

Theres many people that think i14 is a waste of time and the issue holds nothing for them. Certainly since i12 theres been nothing brilliantly new to the game that I find exceedingly fun.

Powerset proliferation was brilliant, and not including any in i14 after stating it should come up atleast every other issue (cant find quote for that) is a bit of a pain.

Playing i15 close to the chest is all well and good, but revealing stuff early and making it look exciting is the only way people like me not in love with i14 are gonna keep interested in the game.

it just means you cant register 2 architect editions to your account,

i.e you cant register one, use the coupon to buy the cyborg pack, get a free months of play,

then register another AE-edition, use the coupon to by the magic pack and get another free months play.


This ofc only applys to the retail box which we wont get on EU anyway, and you can apply superbooster 2 to an account with superbooster 1 applied.

How did you fix said Be Broadband PMS, since ive been trying to log in for about an hour now...

my only hope is that as it was maestro i never got to my card authentication password, and cant see any codes showing up.

oh, should have checked in here first, just hit confirm for the 6th time hoping it would work...

because its phrased as a suggestion and not as a statement :P

looks good, i can only see one debuff and one damage to reciever, everything else is a positive, so should be fun to use. wonder what the recharge time is?

Every control set except Illusion has an AoE immob, ours is unique in that it doesnt actually immobolise foes ><

to Shannon: all well and good making it when you say a big item gfx, but while you see a car, others could see a lamp, as the gfx dont link, it just picks a random one for you to see, and everyone elses comps do the same.

I have to say that I expected more to be honest.

I don't think there's enough there to make me want to buy it. This would have been far better as part of i14 to offset the disappointment of those who aren't into MA.

Just an observation.

[/ QUOTE ]
Hi there.

[/ QUOTE ]

Me too

I'm going to buy this when it comes out and call it i14 ><

Jamie, I think we should make steamy love til the servers are back up. K?

They are showing all the star wars movies here in sweden in the correct(err...) order.

Hey Chatarsis!, .o/
Do you play piggyback Tauntaun Recon after watching Empire Strikes Back? - you know... out in the Swedish snow?

I bloomin well would!

[/ QUOTE ]
I do it on the bf. Snow or no snow his back is there to be used!

Jar Jar is my number 1 true love.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good!, I hope you ride him to within an inch of his life, whipping him with a riding crop, stopping at intervals to scan the horizon with an old pair of binoculars. I would ask if he smells worse on the inside but that clearly be inappropriate.

...not that I have a tauntaun fetish or anything





I'll pretend I didn't read the Jar-Jar comment.

[/ QUOTE ]


Mother!

the children of Paragon dont need to read that!

also, yey this is my first issue wait, shame its i14, tho ive finally realised that I can use architect to cover bored times so its not a complete waste of time.

[ QUOTE ]
For a time i looked at stats but i found that toons i created based on stats alone werent fun they lacked soul.

Im not sure what changed but i came across a post on the US boards about how poor elec was as a stalker set (which it is it horrid) and i had read posts on how great claws was as a scrapper set but it lacked burst dammage to be good as a stalker set add in a half formed ghost in the machine background that was lurking in my head and cybergeist was born he's proved great fun to play up thrue the lvls (now 45) and he'll be my first non brute 50.

[/ QUOTE ]

I hope that refered to /Elec on stalkers and not Elec Melee, as thats a very fun set for a stalker. Infact Elec/Nin stalker was fun from 1-50, so enjoyable I would do it again.

[ QUOTE ]
Doubt it will ever happen.
Tbh, thats what test server is FOR. Yeah, they happen to test the new issues on it. But you can also have infinite respecs (sort of) to try out powers, etc etc.
And Arena. Yeah, no infinite health, but hey.

[/ QUOTE ]


Actually, they test new issues on it, and they happen to let you use it as a "build respec test" server in the mean time.

iirc Castle doesnt really wanna port this amazing set, don't know a link, but im sure hes gone on to say that hed like some sets to remain on specific faction.

saying that, its my favourite melee set, but I cba to solo a brute like i did my stalker, so Id love to make an Elec/Shield scrapper or elec/stone tank.

i really hope i15 brings this, kind of annoyed actually theres no proliferation i14 for those of us not going all weak-kneed over the MA

Have you considered Plant/Kin for Spring, to aide with the growing concept, and Earth/Thermal will then be open with Thermal providing more of a thematic colour theme. (autum Leaves etc)

You can reset the mission if you exit without completing with more time than allocated.

So in otherwords do the mission fast, break stuff, build up time, exit and reset (think you may need to actually log out to reset, i know that definately works)

Well you'll still have the people with no real interest in MA creation playing, and maybe they'll play your missions to say they tried atleast a portion of MA.

of your you could accidentally inspire us to then make something ><

I would read "Not LFT" as not looking to begin, or looking to be part of one, and "solo" also as a desription of your intentions and wouldn't even send a tell

[/ QUOTE ]

I get what you mean. If it says "not LFT" in the search comment I interpret it just like you do. But the search status, not looking for team, the grey one, is the basic one which no one ever changes unless they really dont want to team.

[/ QUOTE ]

or people dont change, because they're not looking for a team, either way, all sides of the argument are making an assumption as to the usefulness of this specific setting.

Is it just me, or are the people who get offended when people don't reply to their tells the same people that have a broad interpretation of peoples comments.

I would read "Not LFT" as not looking to begin, or looking to be part of one, and "solo" also as a desription of your intentions and wouldn't even send a tell

Though admitedly the login and Greyed out search option would mean that i'd possibly send tells to people greyed but no search status.

To me it seems fairly *many bad things* to get annoyed someone hasnt replied to your tell, when your taking fairly broad, semantic leaps on the meaning of their search bar comment.

Personally I would never be annoyed even if someone was set to white, and their status said "please god invite me to anything im desperate" and they didnt reply to me, maybe i'm just too laid back about it?

its only a game :O

I play without sound mostly, and switch my tab to a tab without PMs in when im deep in conversation in a global, so sometime si miss team invite tells, but then usually my status is "not looking for team"" in these situations, so my answer could be presumed.

Sometimes I honestly just loose it in the background of tells coming from friends.

And other times I /sea and see someone too many levels below me and occasionally I'll ignore that, or if I check their global and its a global i've noted having bad experience with, I wont bother to reply.

All others atleast get the curtosy of yes no.


But also, I have found situaitons where a reply just isnt possible, mostly in active teams with my Empath.

[ QUOTE ]
When i first started playing, i had the idea that with TP i could pick a point on the map, and i would teleport there. Was kinda disappointed when i saw what it actually did.

But i think that would be a pretty nifty power!
Sort of like a mission teleporter but in-zone only.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was hastilly gathering /loc locations thinkking tp operated like that.

Imo Tp is a decent pool (though I like the OPs new 2nd option) all that i would change is the 4th Power to wha tthe OP said.

Thanks for the well wishes, everyone.

My position is 'potentially redundant' within the Brighton office, and at the current time I intend to accept voluntary redundancy. I'm not interested in living in the US.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hope you manage to get new work soon - although you're nuts for not wanting to move to America

[/ QUOTE ]


I'd hardly say "nuts" over such a big lifestyle change thrust at you to make over days.

Anyway, take care Alex, you did us as good as we could have wanted and although your tenure was short, I'd reckon you as loved as any that have departed prior.

I hope you find some work soon, especially the way the world is. and ofc my sentiments echo to all the unamed staff we can't say goodbye to.
