Holy cow, I used to live in NW palm bay, off Palm Bay Rd.! Might end up back there someday, in Central NJ now.

Soylent Green is People, people!
PEOPLE!
Did you ever notice that people is one of those words that, if you look at it for a little while, it looks like gibberish? -

Hopefully they will treat it like a separate business venture, like Touchstone.
Edit: And Pixar. -
Quote:This idea, melikey.To rip one of the few good ideas from Champions Online, maybe Snipes should be changed into an attack that you charge up by holding down the hotkey, then release it to fire. Then the longer you charge it up, the more damage it does, perhaps up to maximum damage equal to a current snipe with BU+Aim. Oh and remove the interrupt from it.

Great job on this, Des. I was only able to participate in 4 or 5, but great job on the giant organizing and stamina test that this was. And now I am off to hoard more merits!

Hoarder! he eats puppies!
Opportunistic Market Manipulator! and baby seals!
Supply Constrainer! and kittens with gravy!
You are ruining the game for me! turkey gravy! I know! they're so much better with sausage gravy!
You are the reason for the market being broken! and deep fried baby chicks!
Give us all your purple enhancements! yeah for those he is smart enough to use sausage gravy. -
Yes, it would be worth it (to the players) to have a lifetime sub.
NO, it does not make econmic sense for the company to offer it.
NO, they do not need a quick infusion of cash.
This has been covered and explained in multiple other threads.
Have a great day. -
Aett and the others have covered it. "Balance" needs to be in context of both teams and solo play, but team play balance is the more important, imo. Anything more to say has been covered by the previous posters. I like the way it is now.

If theres room, please put me in for the Faathim and the ITF Sunday.
Thanks, Des! -
Put me down for the Lady Grey (Linarra). (If there's room.)
Thanks! -
Quote:ERm, I think the word you were looking for was "clique-y", which is probably not a word, so... Congratulations for evolving the English lingumuage![sic]I been reading and getting hints that Going Rogue may be Issue 17 due out later this year. With the coming of Champions Online and other superhero MMOs on the way it may be dangerous for NCsoft to have us all pay for this as well with lots of players leaving soon. I think it should be kept free to help keep people here. I know lots of players that will be going to Champions Online for good. The people on beta I know like what they see and with the clicky way teams are formed now for AE I have no reason to stay either. Where is the Issue 16 beta ???
[/e snoot ON... sic means I know there's a mistake there, it's there on purpose. (/e snoot OFF... nah, I'll leave it on, what the heck?)]
So back to the post, Um, No. LOL, the "lots of players" you know going to Champions 'for good'. I say, GLHF to them. We get SO much free stuff from this game, I can't believe anyone has the gall to ask to get a new expansion for free.
Would you mind coming over and mowing my lawn for $15, and then you can do my taxes and clean my bathrooms while you're at it, since I DID pay you those $15? SAME THING. -
And I continue to insist that this game needs...

I find myself starting to succumb to Commission Fever. Des mentioned it briefly a few weeks back.
I've got a fever, and I think I know what it needs... -
Quote:I recommend gettting a group of mid- to high-level friends and doing the big 3 TFs on blueside again: Lady Grey, Statesman, and Imperious. These are my favorite, I run them all the time (3x each weekly minimum), and since 2 of the 3 are coop, lots of characters to choose from.I will admit that I have been ignorant to Oro.
I will disagree with you on this though you soft tongued angel of beauty! I play on champion, Its a fairly casual/small server I think and the same people play the same events over and over again and that gets boring and tired. To make the repetitive/boring campaign even stronger, I am a main red-side layer...making my teaming objectives even more limited.
--TF/SF: On my first and only hero I did all the TF's and rarely did them again for the fact that I already have done them. For my dozen villains I have done out SF's so many times that I can prolly do them in my sleep.
Some of the earlier TFs heroside are a little tedious, but these 3 are great every time, I think. -
Yeah that is the worst. I mean, some people.
[please give me money.]
It hasn't happened to me very often, but it's kind of fun to mess with them when it does. I especially like when they threaten and insult you.
[please give me money.]
I heard about one guy who called himself "Homeless guy" or something and sat in Atlas with the 'begging' emote (the tin cup)
[please give me money.]
and made like some number of millions of inf (back in the day when that was something),
[please give me money.]
and I think he had a Costume contest or something, gave it all away.
[please give me money.]
Well, I'm off to earn some more inf on a TF!

Quote:OMGWTBBQ!1111!!eleventy!Discussing CO's impact on the in game market is a valid topic. Straying from that topic to discuss CO will get this thread moved to Comic Hero/Villain Culture. Comparing CO and CoH is not acceptable.
The rules are designed to contribute to a free and open exchange of ideas. Unfortunately threads which contain much direct comparison between the games devolve rather quickly into a free and open exchange of criticism and personal attack. Hence they are against the rules.
For the record, I'm not concerned with CO's release in regards to my market strategy. I'm going with a combination of buying recipes and crafting them (a.k.a. manual labor) and long term stocking for the next double xp weekend. My target goal is somewhere in the billion profit range, since I have a perma PA Ill/rad to finish and a soft capped nin stalker. These strategies are netting me a comfortable 100 million a week plus I am steadily filling up my reserves and setting up long term sales.
If I were concerned with CO causing any sort of market fluctuation or unpredictability, I would focus entirely on short term profit strategies and hold almost no inventory. Given what I'm seeing on the market this morning (I was away for the weekend, which seriously limited my profit) I'm guessing the majority of the ebil agree with my assessment because I'm seeing a lot of activity that indicates to me that others are doing some serious bulk purchasing or at least making significant market manuevers perhaps because of the increased price volatility since the last double xp.
EEEbil Mods! Eek! He is stealing all of our INF! Hide your moneys! The Game has gone to the Americans! Go. Hunt. KIL MOD08's! You are ruining the game for everyone! SRSLY!

Quote:Agreed!My brother is an accountant, notorious skinflint, and master planner.
My son was visiting him for awhile and remarked one day that my brother should invest in some chopsticks (we have an abundant supply at my house, and they're surprisingly useful in several contexts).

Welcome Back! (Since you will be back [they always come back], I wanted to be the first to greet you on your return.)

And yes, what Castle said sounds very cool.

(shameless plug)
Victory server has a weekly PvP Arena event (PvPEC). I'm not a hardcore PvPer, but I do participate 1-2 hours on some Monday nights, and not only is it fun, but profitable!
I have gotten 3 or 4 PVP recipes this way, which sold for good bux, I know just last Monday, at least 3 recipes dropped during the 2 hours of play. About 18 people showed up. Do the math - it seems a pretty good way to get some recipes.
So instead of whining, organize an event! -
Yeah, it's pretty crazy, but it's the only way to actually retire and not have to be broke. Of course there are risks.
If only the real world was like CoH. No one would ever actually use the 3 bathrooms in all the SG bases, traffic wouldn't really be a problem, and El Super Mexicano wouldn't give us all explosive... -
Quote:Erm, yes, "playing" the stock market is gambling.
Actually from his description, I'd guess he's NOT a stock broker. Playing the stock market is gambling, unless you're privvy to inside information. There are a lot of better ways to make guaranteed money.
"Investing" in the stock market is not really gambling, if you do it right. It's getting information that is publicly available (though sometimes not trivially easy to get), and analyzing it to make informed decisions about whether a company will succeed or fail.
There are undeterminable variables that might invalidate your research (like whether a certain country will shoot at another country across their boundaries, which both might happen to be near vast energy reserves), but that's really no more of a gamble than taking an airplane across the country.
Calling investing "gambling" foments fear in peple who are ignorant of basic money management of an unknowable magical technique to make money from thin air. There's no magic to it. It's hard work, combined with smart allocation of resources, defensive strategies, and a little bit of luck (as with any endeavor). This causes these 'ignorant' (non-perjorative) people to "invest" in things like cars, which are nearly always depreciating assets.
Fools 'play' the stock market. Smart people invest.
