    .... will making the game F2P keep the fun?
    I think there will still be Fun to be had…

    Quote:
    I worry that if I play on the F2P servers, I will (A) get trashed by rude people, (B) play with people who aren't very experienced or that interested in the game, or (C) only play with people who have a minimal commitment and will log out after the first team wipe: "this game sux kthnxby"
    There is a level of all of that now. You will still have the tools to /Ignore them in addition to not being able to receive /tells from them. With F2P having limited access to chat, create a Key Bind for a /ignore $Target... to save you some keystrokes if it gets too bad.

    On the other hand, on the VIP server, I worry that (A) teammates will not tolerate any casual attitudes or gameplay errors: after all, they are paying to be there, and/or (B) the only teams will be level 50s grinding out the latest and greatest Trials for the Incarnate powers.
    Don’t get your expectations on too high of a horse… There has been comments from players saying that they will Create a new Character “IF” they go to the VIP server Just to be able to make new friends. But still there are many things that F2P will not have access to so they won’t be that much of a bother in many areas…

    My wife only plays intermittently now, so I bet she will want to go to F2P status. But I know that if she logs in 4 months from now to find out she can only play 2 of her characters, she will not be happy. If she finds out she can't play with me because all my "good" characters are on the VIP server, that will be bad too.
    Maybe it could be bad for you… but if you keep the sub up, things may just work out… for you.

    Are these legitimate concerns?
    Only if you allow your expectations to overshadow your fun factor.

    New "VIP" Server

    Would it be a bad thing to ask for the "VIP" server to be brought online prior to i21?

    I'm rather hoping that a new server would warrant new hardware with with mega buffs, maxed memory, OS and whatever other bells and whistles that can be added.

    But in general... Bringing the new server online would allow everyone time to build up a new server community, make new friends and get the general boost that many seem to need whenever changes are on the horizon. It would go a long way prior to the i21/F2P changes.

  5. Woouh-Woouh... Who are those cats in the screen shoot...?!!!?

    New Smash Puppies....? The little screen shoots coming out about i21 are keeping me very interested....

    But as for the ability to get into the game to some extent is not too bad of a deal... if your box can multitask that load...
  6. I really have nothing... to add
  7. Simple... More Revenue!

    Make more money so they can hire more people to add more Stuff.... and even give a couple of raises to people.

  9. It can be done....and be fun but in the arena may be better... imo

    We ran a low lvl PVP in the arena pre13 with lvl10's (I think) all new Characters, with a Skulls or Hellion theme... it was very fun and worked well, while being really balanced.
  10. Excuse my ignorance... but other then the AV running out of the front gate into the street how else can you fail the Lambda?

    @Kittah
    You didn't mention which door... so if you don't mind be a lil more specific... like leave the suitcase of play-money and the goodies @Uncle Low door send tell for address.

    I would also have to disagree... because after adding that option to the screen the next post would be: 'I accidentally dragged my Rare salvage there when trying to e-mail it to someone.' followed by petitions wanted it back.

    Had I an EM/EA brute I'd build with IOs - should be fairly cheap to softcap to S/L
    Farming is not really my thing.. so that's cool... while running the ITF there was an KM/ brute running along side and I felt he was able to tackle an entire group, while I on the other hand, had to pause mid way and recharge (Energy Drain) to get thru, but by time I took out 3 he had wiped most of the Mob, I'm just not sure if that was me with rust or something else. (I'm hoping rust)

    I appricate the build you posted... which gives me a little insite.
  18. Is this a pre-curser to the last Curser of the last game?
  19. Yellow's are included to skip the Fluff and get straight to the questions….

    I’m curious… Last night I pulled my leaf blower out and dusted off my lvl50 EM/EA Brute (still on an SO build) and decided to start him down the iTrack. Black Sheep was retired soon after CoV release. So last night, I opened up his Alpha slot, completed the RWZ opening arc, ran him through the Midnighters Arc, completed a pain staking MS Raid and an ITF. I can’t help but feel there is something different about my poor favorite brute… (On with the curiosity part) I know it's a long period of time but, What has changed with Energy Melee set, from CoV release? It seems that my endurance is being sucked out faster then I can chomp blues… Has the endurance cost for attacks increased in some way? Is it me or does the animation for all attacks been extended? I recall being able to cycle through my entire attack chain finishing with ET at about the same time my first attack had recycled… (Now my mind could be a bit rusty as he has been shelved for about 4 years).

    I figured I would come to the community that knows the set best and ask a few questions.

    What’s your take on EM/EA?
    What should be done to the set to improve it’s usability?
  20. Disturbing yet mildly interesting,


    I like it...

  24. Oh Great and Mighty Z (yeah I'm laying it on pretty thick)

    Can you pass it along or whatever it takes to get the ball rolling on the NC Soft store getting an upgrade...? During my recent purchases I found no way to select multiple items. To purchase 2 packs I had to complete two separate transactions.... kind of a drag but the store could use a little attention to make purchases a little more simpler...
