I can't recall where I saw it, but there was a redname post saying that i20 was going to ship with a freespec, and that a second would be given out sometime around the anniversary event.

Quote:No I didn't misunderstand I just forgot to put the "end" on "weekend." I think it's silly to cancel the run just because you JUST MIGHT happen to come up on the hunt mission at the same time that a zone event happens. It seems pretty unlikely to me. It's your run, so obviously you can do whatever you want, but I still think it's silly.Originally Posted by nytflyr
you have misunderstood what I said... I'm canceling tonight's run, cause I don't want to chance it, manticore is long enough without a 20 minute interruption.

Quote:Oh good grief, the zone invasions are not constant - like the new Red Name said (btw, hi new red name!) they last 20 minutes. They also tend to happen once every 2-6 hours or something like that. So yes, some unlucky people will get caught trying to do a hunt during a zone event, but it's not like this is going to prevent anyone from doing the WST at all this weekend.Originally Posted by nytflyr
guess we are canceling out weekly task force then with the SG... grumble grumble

Quote:I don't think there was ever anything to it. Manticore already did the side-switching thing as a ruse once (check out Mender Silos' arc/tf) and Ghost Widow can't really switch sides because she is forever linked to Arachnos.Originally Posted by Nalrok_AthZim
I'm sure you all remember seeing Manticore and Ghost Widow in the GR cinematic trailer. They were accompanied by text suggesting that "allegiances will change" and whatnot.
What I think most of us (if not all of us) gathered from that was, Manti and GW would be switching sides. I mean, we all know that Statesman is a giant jerkwad to Manticore on a regular basis, and we also know that GW really resents Recluse for all the crap he's put her through with her own spirit and Wretch.
Unfortunately, that's all that's ever happened regarding Manti, GW and Going Rogue. Was it just a temptation? Were they never really slated to switch sides? Was that a story line that got pushed to the side because of the Incarnate System? -
Quote:Same here. I don't subscribe to "respect is earned, not given." I subscribe to "respect is given. Disrespect is earned."Originally Posted by sleestack
Just wanted to say, Days, that I agree with your position on respect. When meeting someone for the first time, I treat them respectfully (i.e., politely, etc.), and how they respond thereafter influences either loss of respect, maintaining "default" level of respect or gaining more. Now this is an intuitive process; I don't have some explicit checklist 'o respect or anything. But basically my default setting is you get my respect, until you prove to me that you do not deserve it.
To people who say "I have no respect for you until you earn it" I say, "Thanks for letting me know that. I now have no interest in earning your oh-so-precious respect. Keep it, because you've just shown me that you don't deserve the respect I've already extended to you." -
Quote:Come back to Infinity.Originally Posted by Drexyl
I guess I only moved to Freedom because of the server population. I used to play on Infinity but had been there long enough to see the population dwindle. But Freedom is rather overcrowded with farmers and lowbies begging for farms
I like it there.

Quote:I fully expect to be reimbursed the 2 cents I paid for every extra hour that the servers are down. Never mind that I'm at work and wouldn't have been able to play anyway! I demand restitution!Originally Posted by Cloud_Surge
Clearly we need a double XP weekend to make up for the rollback.

Makes sense. I'm out of town all of next week and won't be able to play.

Quote:That's only true if we ignore other means besides market fees for removing inf from the system. The OP lists a bunch of them. For x Inf entering the system we could actually destroy it all without a single market transaction by converting it to prestige, deleting the toon, etc.Originally Posted by Shred_Monkey
Influence entering into the market economy from kills/mission compete, etc takes 10x that amount in transactions to be detroyed.
A more accurate statement would be that x Inf entering the economy takes at most 10x in market transactions to destroy. -
Quote:Or, whatever reason they like to publish on Tuesdays is also a good reason to flip the switch on a new WST on Tuesdays.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I think it's also interesting that they chose Tuesday as the day to start the WSTs rather than Monday - like it seems like they were trying to sync them with a Tuesday release date for I20 and the new TFs in it.

I think brophog02 just fulfilled the OP's request for nerdrage quite sufficiently. Good work.

Quote:Yeah I can't read. Sorry.Originally Posted by Camo_Fire
The one I mentioned in the second sentence of my post? Yeah =P
The problem with that is that it's on a Thursday, and while, yes, we have had what is it...2 Thursday releases for Issues? I still think we're more likely for a Tuesday. Also, haven't we had long maintenances before without it being an Issue release? Could be some kind of preparation, or something totally unrelated.
Zwill crushed my hopes and dreams anyway so I'm going to go with your original post and say the 19th, too. -
Quote:You realize there's a six hour server maintenance scheduled for tomorrow, right?Originally Posted by Camo_Fire
It's been in beta for some time now, and the release must be coming soon...so any speculation as to a date? I know some have guessed the maintenance coming tomorrow may be it, but this seems to soon to me, personally.
I'm going to guess April 19th. The Weekly Strike Target thread was recently updated with April targets, and ends at the 18th. Maybe they didn't want to tell us yet that the ones after that will be the new i20 TF/SF? -
Quote:Amusingly the first thing I thought of when reading this was a scene from an episode of Buffy where she is complaining about the lack of realism in the fighting depicted in a kung fu movie...Originally Posted by Antigonus
What can I say? I like my fighting women to actually [i]look[/] like they can fight and inflict real damage if necessary. And I never really cared for skinny women anyway.
It's something of a byproduct of my military and MMA training. I have taken real punches from people roughly her size, and I know that no matter how hard she might wind up for it, it's not gonna hurt much because she simply doesn't have the physical mass behind it. I have a really hard time with suspension of disbelief when it comes to things like that. I have a feeling that with the growing popularity of televised MMA, a lot of shows like this will have to be more realistic in their depiction of fighting if they want to get viewers on board. -
Do want.

* posts an item for sale on the marketplace (5% of post price)
* sells an item on the marketplace (10% of sales price minus 5% of post price)
* buys fixed price item from marketplace (marketplace transporter)
* buys TO/DO/SO from vendor
* crafting costs

Quote:I'm someone who has seen the movie and I disagree completely, and just because you agree doesn't mean that he understands anything except your opinion.Originally Posted by Lothic
As someone who HAS seen the movie I will vouch for everything TrueGentleman has said related to Sucker Punch as significant and germane to the conversation. Ironically enough TrueGentleman seems to understand the movie much better than others here who've actually seen it. Go figure...
Just for the sake of everyone in this thread who doesn't seem to already know this:
Some people like some things that other people don't like. Your liking or not liking it doesn't hold any more weight than someone else's liking or not liking it, so get over yourself.
And no, I don't care how much you've heard about a movie from other sources, I will never give your opinion of the thing any credit whatsoever if you haven't actually seen it. -
Quote:Still don't see how you're qualified to make that statement without having actually seen the movie.Originally Posted by TrueGentleman
Your interest in that discussion has been only an attempt to muddy it. Snyder's "inspiration" was obvious from the get-go and confirmed by people who have seen Sucker Punch and the director himself. Only once I learned about the ending and its blatant similarity to Brazil's - while missing its point - did I employ the term "rip-off" (I'm not the only one on a 'net forum to do so).
Although someone else can have the final word here, this is my summary: For Snyder's first original movie, Sucker Punch displays far too much debt to Brazil, from its visuals and themes to its finale, without showing he's fully understood his inspiration, a pattern in his career that has ripped off George Romero (and Dan O'Bannon) and knocked off Alan Moore. -
Quote:You're not. It's one of the items on the "big three" post I made a page or so back in the thread (and I know others have suggested it in the past, I'm not trying to take credit for it). I think it's an absolutely critical feature that must be on the roadmap for any significant improvements to the system.Originally Posted by Redlynne
I simply *can't* be the first person to wish it was possible to assign Base Edit access privileges on a Room by Room basis, using the exact same model as what we (now) have for Storage Racks.

Quote:I've been away from this thread for a while so I apologize for the delayed response to this - however I never said only a few people would benefit, I said only a (relatively) few people would use the feature.Originally Posted by Roughtrade
My point is we need to quit saying 'only a few people benefit' because then we are advertising a false premise. Every time someone who supports bases says "I know it will only benefit a few of us" they are reinforcing the idea that this is a niche community.
Again, you are not going to convince the people who control the development schedule that they should pour resources into something that only a handful of players use based on the argument that other players benefit from that, because it's not going to be much of a selling point to those who only benefit from it (especially when that benefit is dependent upon what the few using it actually do, not what they can do). It's only a selling point to those who will actually use it.
Which is why I feel the argument that needs to be made is to make the system available to be used by all players, not just a benefit to all players. -

Quote:That doesn't matter. The point Zombie Man was making is that you do not gain any hit points by gaining a level shift, and therefore you have not gained a level.Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
Also on the fact that the 50 won't be standing there allowing himself to be killed. Given enough time ANYTHING can do enough damage to kill a 50. So of all things that show you are still 50, doing enough damage to kill a 50 isn't all that impressive to use as an example.
