White Hot Flash

How can the Beta be late when they never announced a start date? The only thing they said is if you're paid up between a couple of dates, you are considered a loyal customer and get let into Beta, after the F&F, the long-time vets, and the Con attendees. Nowhere in their initial announcement, nor anywhere else talking about this period, does it say that Beta will start the day after for anyone. They have to put an end date on it because there was also a badge involved and the badge on your account is what actual gets you in. It had to be rewarded sometime before Beta starts.

Your reasoning skills are flawed in this instance.

Auto sk to the highest level on the team in open zones would be annoying if you actually wanted to street hunt and had teammates that were too high for the zone. Your other ideas are fine, though.

That shouldn't happen in a mission. If you're just hunting that's the team leader's fault for being dumb.

I think his definition of English is different than yours.

I prefer to think of it as calling out stupidity wherever it lurks, and not letting the people who wield it be the lasting impression this server has.

I swear it's like he's got a note pinned to his shirt with this written down, so he doesn't forget who he is or why he got booted from BMT.




Champion can be whatever you want it to be, if you're willing to lead. There's folks that are into just about anything if you show some interest.

The sweetest word in the English language.

De-Fault! De-Fault!

Maybe they're staring cause they caught you doing THIS

>.< Casual games don't have to be easy all the time. Casual games don't have to have instantaneous rewards all the time. Casual games don't mean that players shouldn't be expected to have to work for a reward. Casual games don't imply that all possible rewards should be available to you. People that play casually don't care about the rewards as much as more hard-core folks (hence the use of casual). If they cared, they'd play more and earn the loot.

Why does everything in this game have to be accessible to everyone at every time? Why not reward someone for using their brains once in a while instead of their twitch skills, or their ability to click powers in the correct order to not die?

Something in the game that you might fail at once in a while that's not PvP? Oh, no! Heaven forbid we should have to be inadequate once or twice, and maybe try a different tactic the next time. If they're going to go this route, with puzzle-based content, it shouldn't all be optional, otherwise it will just be ignored by all but the diehards. See Gladiator matches for an example that's already in the game. It was a decent idea, but poorly implemented, and utterly optional once you collect the few badges associated with them, and no one does them.

Make content have a reward worth obtaining. The harder the task, the bigger the reward.

Why would they advertise on a show that hasn't been good since the first season? If anything, most of the people watching that show already play this game. It would be preaching to the choir.

Marketing isn't in the business of promoting things that may or may not make into the game. City Vault was an exception, but one they learned from, and hopefully won't be duplicating. Even if they told us today, the only one's that could play around with it are the Friends and Family wave, which isn't the vast majority of us. Stuff's gonna change between now and then. I'd rather wait till things are closer to being done to hear about them.

No, they're Hydra Heads, just like what you fight in the Sewer Trial (only easier to fight). They have the little mouths on the end and everything.

That would make no sense. How could NCSoft track them when they're using a different name each time they help someone?

Factor in that we've been getting better toys with the booster packs as well, and it's likely we may never see anything but these type of vet rewards from now on, which is fine. No one can complain when they can fork over ten bucks just like everyone else to obtain them.

All you did is post an announcement and ask people to send you a PM or tell in game. Lock the thread after you make it if you don't want responses. Is that so hard?

Mod 8 gives you a pass, but for different reasons, Elf. It might violate some sort of federal law to prevent you from speaking.


Plus it would deprive us of a laugh.

Win.

If you've done everything you've said was done, why start yet another thread about it? That's the whole point of my response, which apparantly missed you.

Beating a dead horse is bad, yo.

Punishing players would have been not granting a third weekend and just saying "sorry." I don't recall them ever saying we'd be guaranteed two per year, or that they'd be on some set schedule. They seem to just pick a weekend that has a need to draw folks to the game that might otherwise be doing something else, like when they introduce new gameplay features, or when another game comes out, or somesuch.

The last couple of 2xp weekends, I really didn't get much out of them, even though I logged in. I'm at the point where they're nice and all, but the lagfest it brings isn't worth it most times. I doubt I'll feel any different about the next one. I don't have a SG that demands prestige grinding, and I don't have 3 sets of purple IOs to buy anytime soon, so there's not a lot of need for it for me. All they do is screw up the market prices for a month.
