  1. I play Pathfinder right now. My characters are: Level 5 Human Monk Level 4 Half-Elf Ranger (sword-and-shield combat mastery) Level 2 Gunslinger (musket master)
  2. I do love swindling alliances out of billions of ISK! On a serious note, Blizzard takes the same hands-off approach to guild bank theft. Their logic is they put the health of the guild bank in the hands of the GM and directors, and it is up to them to manage things. Unless you can prove the guy was a hacked account, BW will not do anything, nor should they.
  3. I would not pay for it. Then again, I think this game is a joke at this point.
  4. 1.) EvE Online 2.) World of Warcraft I can't list anything else. I can't put SWTOR on there, because this game is a joke. I literally play just to be with a few friends, not because this game captivates me in some way.
  5. 1.) Every game has been claiming "additional subscribers" for years. During "Monoclegate" for EvE Online, CCP claimed a "marked increase in subscriptions", when in reality there was the exact opposite (there was even a thread they locked two days later in which thousands of players said the exact opposite). No game says, "Yeah, we had a massive drop in subscriptions". You'll only hear something when there are positive numbers, and even then it doesn't mean much. You'll rarely see actual numbers being thrown about. 2.) People air grievances all the time, many not as a source of drama but more as a way to say, "Here's the reasons I'm leaving". I've done it before, and many times, the post contributes enough that the game changes (EvE Online, once again as my example, is changing and implementing many of the changes some of us *****ed and moaned for for years in order to keep us). 3.) Progression means something between "jack" and "****" when it comes to people quitting. I quit World of Warcraft during Wrath of the Lich King because I hated the way progression was set up. I didn't enjoy having dumbed-down raids for people to go through. I wanted a challenge, which Cataclysm gave me (thankfully!). 4.) In every "I'm leaving and here's why!" thread, I can count on bads like you to run in here and ***** about the OP, then flaunt your e-peen like it means something. I'd tell you to go get some sun, but considering you've probably been in mommy's basement for too long, you'd probably explode like a vampire.
  6. Posted on the DotA 2 forums: "Fake and gay, those pictures of dismembered people circulating on the web were shot in front of green screen long ago and people on them are actors not victims. Of course it just so happens like with every fake event that the same type of drill took place the same day http://www.naturalnews.com/039926_Bo...terrorism.html And the explosions were the first sign that this even was staged. Hollywood explosions are designed to LOOK like they are powerful, when realworld explosions DO NOT. For example: Hollywood you will see a fireball and smoke. REAL WORLD you do not. The force of a real world explosion is PERCUSSIVE meaning the explosion moves so rapidly that fire does not have a chance to burn anything an if there was fire would be blown out by the shock wave. Now depending on the type of explosive used there are different characteristics to look for. With a Fertilizer bomb you have TWO explosions. First is the detonator that is designed to atomize the fuel particles as the fuel, as it spreads then the second is times to ignite that cloud. THOSE TYPE OF BOMBS are very weak, but will produce a fire ball. In hollywood they will use propane to create the fire ball. But a Fert bomb is very difficult to pull off and takes a high level of skill to accomplish. A hydrogen bomb is a sharp crack sound (a high pitch like snap like sound) ANY hydrogen oxygen ignition is SOOOOO percussive that even the smallest one has potential to take your ear drums out or cause permanent damage. With a Hydrogen Oxy bomb you get NO flame because it burns in the infrared spectrum and is invisible to you. YOU WILL SEE A SHOCK WAVE that is very fast (on the par of 40,000ft/sec A massive force to be dealt with but fortunately the blast will tend to go upward and not along the ground. A TNT explosive is a loud thunder sound with low ground shaking vibrations. A good size destructive force with telltale signs of detonation and particular smell. Gunpowder not as good unless you detonate it in a container. BUT my point being that is you see fire and smoke coming out of the explosion (which we do in this case) you can rest assured that it is a Hollywood FX team behind it. AND the use of green screen protects the actors from having their ears damaged. IF THIS WERE REAL YOU WOULD HAVE MANY PEOPLE with permanent hearing loss if not completely deaf. Those who educate themselves, and practice critical thinking will always prevail in any of these BS made for TV events." I *********** give up on humanity.
  7. Don't thank me. I'm a United States Marine, and this is part of my job. Just think next time, you might need to make such a decision. Put someone else before yourself like the first responders do and do what you can to help.
  8. It's also Patriot's Day in Massachusetts. It's also the 100th birthday of Kim il-Sung. I was a block away from the finish line when the first explosion sounded. Like a good Marine, I ran TOWARDS the sound of chaos while every sane person around me ran away from it. An HM3 buddy of mine and I were helping people hurt while the BPD and MNG were working their way to us. We hopped the barricades ot get to them. We weren't waiting. As I've said in other areas, the amount of blood you see in pictures is only the tip of the iceberg. The body parts on the ground...
  9. So, anything on fixes, or is it a "Soon" thing?
  10. I normally wouldn't have either, and I understand if you don't take my anecdotal evidence seriously. I know it happened, that's what matters! Either way, the chat interface is horribly outdated; something simple such as coding in not to change recipients of a whisper should have been done long ago.
  11. Before we begin, I want you to take a look at the stickied topics in this subforum. Take a good look before continuing. I see stickies on a companion (Mako); I see one on additions to the Cartel Market, and about the launch of Rise of the Hutt Cartel 14 April. Most importantly, I see one on what "goodies" are coming to the game with the expansion. But there's a problem. See, additions are fine; in fact, a game cannot grow without adding to it. At the same time, a game cannot survive if what is broken is not fixed. For months there have been threads cropping up, decrying many of the broken mechanics of the game; classes don't see as much play because in a given setting they are far surpassed by another class (for instance, commandos in PvP). I have written my own complaint threads detailing what I have seen in my limited amount of time playing the game, and will generally include myself in the "vocal minority" when it comes to ************ about something that has been broken. However, I will also support my observations with evidence, and when applicable screenshot the offending area/problem as well. In many instances--and I will stipulate to this--the complaints are trolls. You will always have those on a forum, as companies such as Blizzard-Activision and CCP have come to realize and understand. However, those companies have also gone out of their way to fix problems in a timely manner (in this case, Blizzard is a lot faster, and the running joke when dealing with CCP is "the logs show nothing"), and there is rarely a complaint about glitches or broken programming. That is because their team of developers and GMs take their job seriously, and reports of broken mechanics or glitches are looked into in a timely manner. Hell, major problems are routinely mentioned on their forums as being repaired! So what is the problem here? You have an expansion coming out for a game that has had habitual problems with AI, with despawns/'evasion' glitches. You have a chat interface that is so obsolete, a friend of mine who is a GM at Blizzard has said the developers of WoW wanted to send you a copy of their chat interface coding in order to fix it. Blizzard's developers view your chat interface as an insult to their own games! I should not have my whispers changed because someone else whispers me mid-sentence or just before I send it. My channels should not change randomly (for instance, typing something in General chat should not show up in "say" instead, and that happens more often than not). This isn't an issue about the cache, either; this isn't because of our clients. I have said it before: the game cannot survive if the problems aren't repaired. If people feel like their money is not being used to support the game properly, then they will stop playing. CCP learned that the hard way eighteen months ago. They lost accounts by the hundreds, if not thousands. They fired their entire PR team for not painting their ideas in a prettier light and running interference between the players and the developers. Money was what mattered, but they realized very quickly that people were willing to bite along with the barking. The forums filled up fast, but not as fast as the amount of cancelled subscriptions. People want stuff fixed. If it's not fixed, you have no game. You have no money. EA has never understood that (look at Sim City; look at Crysis 2's multiplayer!). You, Bioware, have a chance to tell them to piss off. If you do not, then you will all be out of a job. You really do have more competition coming up--Elder Scrolls and Neverwinter, as well as the Pathfinder MMO are coming soon. It may not be Star Wars, but if you can't show you have ap olished game, then it won't matter.
  12. Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, and expecting different results each time. Reporting the players apparently does nothing, even when there six or more reports for the incident each time.
  13. Since joining the game a few months ago, one thing I've noticed is the constant harassment of roleplayers. In general, there seems to be no way to prevent this or get around it; in fact, Bioware seems to ignore such things. While we can be ignored, we cannot ignore those who continue to insult and degrade us because we want to roleplay on roleplaying servers. I'm on Begeren Colony. One Imperial-side guild is allegedly responsible for causing a roleplaying guild to break-up, unable to deal with the constant harassment of its members (once again, I'm going by what I've heard, not what I've seen). Even if that turns out not to be true, I can quote a guild leader on the Republic-side: "We are going to force the roleplayers off our server." And they're trying to. Roleplayers can't catch a break. We ignore them, but the standard emotes break through the ignore, allowing them to spam /dance, /slap, and other emotes. With other items available to them as well (such as the disco ball), they are able to annoy the roleplayers with impunity. Reporting them seems to do nothing: Bioware gives the usual canned responses promising to "look into it", but there is no relief. They are still there, doing everything they were reported for day after day. Public RP is damn-near impossible on the stations because of griefers. Roleplayers, in order to keep their on-server communities going need a way to be able to meet and have fun. This is a hobby, but it is one that is being denied to us many times by people who lack social etiquette. If we were to go into their raids and constantly mess up the pulls, or cause wipes, they have a remedy. They can kick us and ban us from raids. They can ban us from rated warzones, or from their premade parties. Ignore needs to be fixed. The overworld items need to be fixed, so that ignoring a person prevents their items from being used to harass people. World of Warcraft, Aion, and Rift--among others--have prevented griefers from being able to harass people ho have ignored them through emotes. The amount of items that are available for overworld griefing is negligible, but the amount on SWTOR exceeds it. If Bioware will not respond and help us, then what is left for us? Should we stop roleplaying altogether? I'd like to know if similar things are happening on other servers, or if it's just mine.
  14. I'm quite aware, and I thank you! But I'd like to see a bit more interest before the list goes up!
  15. I accept that this may be what it needed, and the argument is sound. As I said, I'm always open to suggestions, and people who are willing to partake in the fun!
