  1. The powers. The gloriously overpowered powers.

    Since they have access to beta, can they transfer their locked toons there and then have access to the toon? Don't have any premium accounts to test this, but may be a workaround, even if it is a pita.

    Also, thanks Guy. You folks really are Titans.

  4. I would pay double, but would only keep one sub... However, if they allowed VIP status to a single alternate account that is attached to the main account(free/premium account status for any more after that.) I would probably keep 2 main accounts subbed.

    Made me giggle the 1st time i saw her for a few years and she did that
    Why would your parents leave your sister out in the pasture all the time?

    Back when I was an apprentice, my chef told me I should portion the fish so that it remains in the shape of a fish and therefore look more appealing on the plate. I asked him why we don't form the hamburgers into little tiny cows. He stopped making that request.

    Not Goodbye

    No biggie, but amusing to me at least. Have had it happen a couple times. If I try to talk to laventea in rwz while in tf mode(ae) she will remind me that I am in tf mode and to finish what I am doing. I drop the mish and try to talk to her again, she says something along the lines of "gee, this is awkward, I am an automatic contact and don't need to be introduced. The fact that you can see this makes me feel a little naked. Take care!"

    My favorite bug will always be the gauntlet hit a bazillion mobs with a single target attack. Seismic smash ftw. Also, tp was especially efficient at convincing the mobs to stack.
  8. Iguane. My first 50 and one of the first burn tanks. He went from being a pariah on teams because fire tanks were too squishy and couldnt hold thier own to being everyones best friend because they wanted a pl. He pled so many peeps it isn't funny, and not because I necessarily wanted to pl people, but just because I wanted bigger spawns. Course, then he went back to being a pariah because He and his ilk were ruining the game. Pretty much stopped playing him after the burn nerf, but has come back out and is played quite often these days.

    Didn't find another toon that could match up to him till Wyvurm, my spines/fire scrapper. He was squishy, but hell if he couldnt rip a spawn apart in seconds.

    Then came Atropos Moirea. Fire/traps corr. I never would have thought I could have so much fun with a "squishy". It's in quotes because squishy she is not. Opened my eyes to the benefits of playing debuff characters.

    Plasma Assault, my fire/shield scrapper... I wish I rolled this combo long ago. It will be a fun few months playing this toon.

    And probably my last 50, Clotho Moirea. A dark/sonic defender and my second of three fates. Came up with the idea while incarnates were in development, but didnt roll another of the sisters till a couple weeks ago. Clotho has exceeded all expectations. To the point that I used her while I led my first team in about 4 years destroying +3 Maria praetorian arc with a bring whatever 8 man pug. Ended up with no tanks, brutes or scrappers for alpha soak and she tanked just fine.

    I will save my last fate for when the servers pop back up.

    I just can't believe they aren't taking in enough to keep the game going possibly with fewer or no additional updates.
    I agree, but it wasn't at that point, and merging wouldn't have saved any money anyway. The game was doing fine. Great actually for how long we have been around. We weren't losing money at all. More and more players coming back, plus lots of new faces...
  10. What would consolidation have done besides drive some players away that lost their toon names?

    I mean as a cost issue as far as I know all the different servers are actually just partitions run off the same machine, so no cost difference there...

    Merging the servers wouldn't have done anything besides pissing off a bunch of people who lost their homes.

    It's called sucking it up, princess.
    And if it was you dying, and not your friend?

    Who knows what things will be like by the end of October. Maybe the dude wants to remember the game as it is now, thriving. Not on life support with a large portion of the player base moved on.

    I don't share the point of view, but I can understand it. I am hoping that something will work out, but I understand that not everyone is an optimist.
  13. My burn tank will be in the back of boomtown herding up lost and frying them up. Like he just dinged 18 again.

    Although I am sorely tempted to just fly around atlas, remembering the awe I felt when I first logged on in April 2004 and saw what felt like hundreds of heroes running, jumping and flying about on their way to becoming legends.

    Final Wishlist

    Kill the aggro cap
    Kill the target caps

    That is all.

    Dear NCSoft...

    While I probably won't play another mmo. If the rumors i am hearing are true, it's a licensing thing and I can't really hold ncsoft at fault. It explains why the red names haven't been too angry, just resigned to the inevitability of it all.
  16. Please. I called it when they nerfed cot portals.
  17. Something you didnt powerlevel in a quick rush to max it out.

    But if you are, go for something completely, ridiculously overpowered. Fire/sd scrapper is what I would go with if I didn't have one already.
  18. I don't think there will be anyone there to turn the switches on or off...

Sometimes it happens every time I try to use it, others its just occasionally, but it's bloody frustrating when you want to knock over everything in sight and you don't even move, and it's wasting build up. ¬_¬
    This is why I stopped running my stone tank on lambdas. I would get stuck in a spawn and couldn't tp anywhere in order to reposition myself. Pretty sure the geometry in there is just unfriendly to tp.
  20. Name a situation that a bots/traps mm can't handle. It really can, and does do it all. Often while asleep at the wheel.
  21. This is exactly what is wrong with the market. Way to drive the prices of salvage up. You should be ashamed of yourself.









    I kid of course.
  22. My favorites will most likely always be the lines from alien that the sky raiders spout off.
  23. My experience with an elec/dark brute was disappointing. It may have been different if I leveraged the mitigation aspect of the layered stuns. I didn't however and found myself consistently in the middle of a long animating attack when I needed to fire dark regen off.

    I assume that it was mostly user incompetence.
  24. Holy crap. I forgot about the one hour recharge. That's a slap in the face(take a drink).

    I amend my suggestion to include reducing the recharge time of the accolade granted power. Say to 10 to 15 mins. Might actually make it worth chasing after then. Well, besides for you crazy badge folks.
