    Except the game already has microtransactions. Booster packs are costume pieces, emotes and powers unlocked by real money. Adding more changes nothing negatively.

    I would also love to see more on the NCstore. How is more money to the developers and more stuff to us a bad thing?

    Edit: Techbot doesn't get it. He misinterpreted your request as wanting to remove existing features as pay-to-access only. Techbot, the OP was asking for MORE stuff, not less.

    Also, some powers that require you to be on the ground CAN be used while hovering at ground level. Trip Mine and Gun Drone in /Devices, for example.

    Edit: meant doesn't not does say
    Hmm. Are there any tank/brute powers that allow hovering at ground level?

    I would help my friends more with their builds. Already tricked one friend out.

    Any chance of adding Sands of Mu to that? Is it game-breaking? Is it tide-turning?

    Just watched this episode and it was one of the most fun yet.

    It's not the cutscenes I dislike... it's the crotch shots.

    LGTF's Rikti crotch shot: Not funny. BAF's Nightstar crotch shot: Even less funny.

    I was talking about League chat. You can't alter that, or Supergroup chat, or Team chat, or... you ought to get the picture by now.

    If you want to talk about customizing global chat channels, okay, that's not related to what I originally said. And thanks for keeping the thread free of condescension.

    I've run both trials many times a day since i20 came out, and never gotten the Very Rare. I play a tanker and I am constantly attacking either bosses or their adds. I would always say "random is random", but not now. I'm pretty sure this is broken.

    No other MMO, that I'm aware of, allows you to queu for one instance, while inside of another instance.
    Unfortunately, YOU are wrong here. In WoW, after you kill the end boss in an instance, you are permitted to queue for another without leaving that instance.

    It seems that from what I hear on the US servers, they too are utilizing 80% pre-mades as well so.

    It appears this fact of gathering and using premades surprised even the devs, I guess they all assumed everyone would just use the LFG tool to randomly join raids
    I tried the LFG tool many times. It consistently places me in 8-man Lambdas with bizarre group make-up, and never increases the team size above 8 people. None of those have been successful.

    I don't use the LFG tool anymore.

    I wish I could turn the colours off. What baffles me is the choice of colour for League chat. Instead of using a hue similar to Team chat, such as a Darker Green, they went with a confusing hue that is very similiar to Supergroup Chat. The hue is so difficult to differentiate from chat noise that I have had to make an exception in my screen layout and waste space just for a separate league chat tab. It's an eyesore.

    Be careful what you wish for. The person who ruined the Classic Team window is probably who will redesign the power tray.

    You've never used the same account on two or more computers with different screen resolution? Your UI gets crushed, shuffled and laughed at.

    For whatever strange reason, that's stored server-side. Play the game on your tiny laptop screen and the whole UI gets changed. Return to your big desktop, it's now using your screwy laptop arrangement.

If I do the chug and buy then just wait I have less time on the inspirations after exiting the hospital.
    I think his point was to not have it locked AT ALL, not to do away with the warnings.

    Another irritation: The league window is closed when your League preform queues up. If I have it opened, it should stay opened.

    I'm not sure why you felt the need to descend upon the thread with insulting commentary, but your reading comprehension needs improvement.

    Her proposed change would interfere with the intended use of the feature: Casual, user-regulated community help on a mass scale, requiring no additional NCsoft staff.

    The problem you perceive will resolve itself. A mean person set as "Helper" or "Help Me!" will quickly tire of requests or offers for help and turn the corresponding tag off.

    Sometimes I feel like helping people, and sometimes I don't. I can easily toggle it depending on my mood. Your request would ruin that.

    And yet... Sands of Mu is disabled, but Dimensional Grounding Ray is not. Jetpack is disabled, but Secondary Mutation is not.

    Is there some gamebreaking need to disable Sands of Mu?

    Note: You have a strange definition of success.

    I have no idea what to say to that. At least it's quoted for posterity.
