  2. Namely:

    Beam Rifle
    Street Justice
    Titan Weapons

    I did deactivate my VIP status, but that doesn't take effect till the 13th...but regardless, I already paid for these sets...

    and waiting on CS to get back to me *sigh*
  3. I do lag, rarely ever crash.

    Though...got a few new computer pieces, I'm able to run Ultra Mode now

    I am sure you will go places with that line of thinking. Some game is one day going to come along and make you feel like an idiot.
    and some day the Cubs will win the world series
  5. Step 1: Hire 100 developers/programmers to recreate the game w/ a upgraded engine and a system that will transfer CoX1.0 characters over to 2.0.
    Step 2: Fix the Lore
    Step 3: ???
    Step 4: PROFIT!!!

    See what you did Tyranny? You're making me agree w/ Golden Girl!

    ugh...I'd rather not, she's nothing but a annoyance.

This is really what it boils down to. Overpriced vanity pets, travel powers, emotes and yep, my personal favorite, full blown powersets. Things we used to get as soon as they were released we now have to sit around for and save up points or pay out of pocket on top of the subscription fee to just to utilize it asap. This is a big turn off for me and many others.

    I'm bummed out about that really. Was so awesome when a new powerset came out you just...well.... got it. Hell, it was worth buying the booster packs for the new costume items & emotes when those were all the rage. Seems like a distant memory already. Had to vent about this somewhere and this thread seemed like the perfect place. Yes, I'm bitter because I didn't have enough points to buy Titan Weapons after the big spending spree getting all the other new things since the last issue dropped. Seeing all these new items like the fireworks and the flying carpet now just adds to my frustration.

    My point to all this is, paying customers shouldn't have to buy powersets off the market. Emotes yes, vanity items yes, different costume/weapon pieces are fine (all be it at lower point prices). Not powersets though. I could see paying the current prices if you were a f2p account. Charging 600pts for a vanity dog.....800pts for a powerset....400pts for individual pieces of whatever the new items cost all while waiting each month to get just 400pts per month is frankly sad. lol, well you get the idea. We are loyal fans of the game but a good thing to keep in mind is not to bite the hand that feeds you.
    we've bought power sets on two different occasions, warranted they came w/ paid expansions, but we still bought them.

    I mean why do people just blindly buy this stuff?
    cry m0ar plz, kthnx bai

    on another note, while cool looking, won't waste points on it just so it can sit in my powers window like rocket board...

    would just like to point out that you've carried yourself much better than the previous "reviewer" that came to the boards around a year ago.
  12. DVR is the new VHS/VCR. We set it to record programs we don't have time to watch because of our life/work scheduling.

    As long as you are not distributing it, it is not illegal.
  13. or Zwill randomly pops in (he's done it before over the weekend)

    Not necessarily true, if you don't hold a true copyright, but are still able to prove you created it first, you'll win.

    Also, Mattel Inc lost it's case to MGA Entertainment over the Bratz doll line and was ordered to pay over $300 million for stealing trade secrets, among other things.

    I'm talking about watching it, not posting it up.
    my bad, missed that last bit, but it still goes to my original post, if you're not distributing, it's not a problem (at least not yet)
  17. Well Durr, you and PK/Westley can be equally insane, just you decided to take your ball and go home. It's nice to be able to have a conversation that doesn't inevitably takes a nose dive into a empty well at the bottom of a ravine in the Grand Canyon sometimes.

    I've caught flak too, but I have thicker skin than what anyone could ever say to me.

    TeamFourStar's content is actually legal, but whatever...
    hence my comment about unfair ruling used against them

    Quote:
    I'm talking about posting content from tv on places where it's "illegal" to post them. MMPR on Youtube is copyrighted material and watching it via stream from youtube is considered pirating, but the argument was that if it's not a permanent thing for the viewer then it's not pirating because it is completely different.
    Well if you're posting it online after taking it from tv, then it's permanent till it's taken down one way or another, because you're technically distributing licensed content as a unlicensed distributor w/ the only exception being the fair use act (parody's, etc).

    On another note, the guy who distributed XMEN Origins: Wolverine (the unfinished version), received a 1 year sentence in federal prison.

    YouTube has it's own rules and tries to enforce them, accounts are banned daily there, but there's only so many people and their preemptive system only catches so many. Though there are unfair rulings that have been made (TeamFourStar's account has been banned before, and many Botchamania accounts have been banned as well)

    Hulu, Netflix and the like are legal for obvious reasons.


    general rule of the internet: if you act like a idiot, you'll get called out on it somewhere.
