    Trying to Adapt

    I am just leveling up lowbies in AE to get tickets and then I roll Bronzes until I get a valuable one and I sell it for mega bucks. I turned off xp at level 10 on the first one and 15 on another and am working on my one I will freeze at 20.

    I actually did it for one post, and found it was fun to type, and that people found it amusing. Sure, some people -rep me for it (anonymously, as normal) but I find that more people get a smirk out of it then go 'OMG lrn 3 speek!!1'
    I thought it was funny but I am not surprised you got -rep for it. Too many -reppers don't have a sense of humor or any ability to think. Some of the ones I have gotten have made no sense at all.

    Why don't they just close the 2 highest member servers and spread them around the others?

    Just sayin'.

    Which should I believe? Hint, it doesn't start with a "P."
    I think it is possible Freedom has lost some of its active playerbase as people fed up with MA farming (remember all the threads hating on it and how often it was always Freedom?).

    Some people may have relocated to other servers to play.

    shhhh...

    It's funny when people think Rags' suggestion is to help the casual players.
  8. They just need to get rid of reputation already or force the name of the reppers to display.

I don't even know what B_I did to rile up the authors of Forum Public Opinion, but hey when I'm told to come here and uphold the status quo, I follow orders.

    But seeing your disingenuous disavowal of the existence of the official Forum Public Opinion sickens me. It's as if scales have fallen off my eyes. I was blind, but now I see. I can have my own opinion! I don't have to blindly mouth the empty propaganda of Forum Public Opinion!

    All I can say is: thank you, Bad Influence. I'm not sure I ever would have broken free of the Cartel's grip on my lemming-like forum posts if you hadn't been brave enough to speak truth to power.

    I'm sure that Lady Sadako will now turn the vast resources of the Cartel against me, but I am not afraid.
    Well if you don't you will certainly get neg repped anonymously by the brave.

Uninitialized variables can be anything, but often have tendency to be zero, which would not cause a problem (actually any positive value would not matter).

    This bug as been in since Issue 9 and was not caused by specifically by anything related to I16 (Whenever code is changed the tendencies of uninitialized variables can change). I suspect the changes made with I16 caused drop rates to be closely scrutinized.
    I liked BAB's explanation better. I can't make anything funny from yours.

    If you have DJ Zero unlocked from Valentines' event you can do it today. Or find someone who does.

    Or login to your NCSoft account and select your City account and there will be a link for you there.
  16. Monkeys have spawned for a while but it does tend to be a luck of the draw random thing.

    I wish people could take a pill to get a sense of humor. It would solve alot of issues in this world.
    Well since those people can't take a pill to get a sense of humor, perhaps they could take a different kind of pill...

    I had a sub for a long time but I believe it was 10-12 years ago I stopped it. I don't know if it is horrible now or it was just so great when it first started and it couldn't maintain that level.

    I still remember being so excited with each issue back then.
  21. I feel like Veruca Salt now. "I want a humming weasel, daddy!"
  22. I always get knockback protection, preferably a level 10 Steadfast for Absorption. If I still felt like I was getting knocked around I would toss in a Karma KB Prot into Shadow Cloak.

    I always add Performance Shifter +end to Nova and Dwarf as low a level as possible plus an End Mod from it to get 5% movement increase from each.

    I like to toss Devastation Chance to Hold in my ranged attacks.

    I've been putting in at least 2 LotG Recharges, though I could probably work in 4 easily.

    I get Lockdown Chance for +2 Mag Hold for Gravity Well.

    I 4 slot Impervium Armor as much as possible to get the extra endurance, recovery and Psionic defense and by using the IA: Psionic Resistance I don't let Carnies get me down.

    Apart from those I look for ways to boost my health and my damage through set bonuses.

    But I tend to be in the forms and pop to human to mire and gravity well and stygian circle so I focus my form attacks on actually doing damage.

    Also I would add I think Ragnarok Chance for Knockdown is relatively cheap and nice for either of the Nova AoE attacks.

    To be fair. the game 'starts' at two points, level 20 and level 35. At level 35 you get your Vanguard Merits and you can participate in ITF. Those are both great zones.

    Villainside, stuff starts getting fun in the mid-20s.

    The author does repeat a common lament of people I introduce the game to:

    "What is there to do? It's just going in doors all the time and so on. Where are the interesting wilderness quests?"

    I had to ponder what you wrote here to think what a wilderness quest would even be then I remembered my month in WoW and my years in EQ.

    I think we could use some outdoor missions that aren't defeat X of group.

    But if it can provide amusement to the person is it useless?

    I wouldn't bother with the debate but it did occur to me some people might enjoy doing so.
  25. What if the reduction was because a certain type of recipe drops were being blocked from dropping by rarity or sets vs commons?
