I understand what you’re saying. I would hate to be hounded for a name, or lose a name. However, no one owns the names.

You are looking at it wrong IMO Youre focusing on people who play the game and forgetting about those that created an account 3 years ago, and have not been back. No where does it say that if you don’t play for a week, you lose the name.

It was a joke. Please don’t add me to ignore. Pleeeaaaase. I sorry.

Now I understand why Lumi thinks the player base is shrinking. It’s actually not, he just ignores faster than new players can join 🙂

Guess I just take what people say at face value.

I’ve suggested this somewhere before - make AE it’s own instance. In other words, when inside, your chat (regardless of channel) is only visible inside AE. Also, make it so you can only invite players already inside AE. I think if people saw less “sitter looking for farm”, they would eventually forget all about farmers. Oit of curiosity, why are people suddenly throwing around the “inner circle” conspiracy? I’ve seen it brought up in a few different threads. Is that the only explanation people can come up with for differing opinions, or is there actual evidence of this?

It would be a flawed experiment. You would need an intense hatred of farming/AE to change servers. People hate it, but not that much. The test is like to see would be locking in a choice for 1 week of game time. You can either AE/Farm or run TFs/missions only - no rewards, regardless of choice. Just to be curious what everyone would choose if there was no incentive either way.

If it’s not owned, nor is it being used - how is it stealing?

It is impossible to make every last person happy whenever there is a change. The potential benefit may be small to you, but it may be huge to someone else.

You click on them, and the click “add note”. Their global will show up. If the say something in chat, you can click their name and an option for “get global name” will appear.

Gotcha - thanks for passing that bit of info on.

I can PL you to 2 in AE if you like 🙂

There is no way to make every last person happy with any change. If the only people who have a legit gripe are the RPers who keep their toons under 5 - the question has to be asked. How many are there? If they make up a tiny percentage of the playing population, well all I can really say is sorry, but it is what it is. Do we really want to hold up something good to appease an insignificant number of players? As has been stated earlier - Simply attempting to rename a character will reset the timer. I did this on all 40 of my toons and it took less than 5 minutes. Worst case scenarios, it will take someone with 400 toons around an hour in total.

Your inference is that players with empathy are bad players. Tell me, how do you differentiate just by looking at powers that were chosen. How do you tell good from bad?

Sorry, struggling to get past the part where you call people “bad players” because of the power they choose. Gotta wonder who the real “bad player” around here is

The mods must be asleep

Just seems like strange reasoning (to me) First off, I agree that it seems like the new challenging content may not be a huge success. I think that may be that they went to far in what they were trying to do, and sounds like they made it too much of a grind. But just because the first attempt didn't work, why give up and go the other direction? Like I said in an earlier post, how long will this change make someone like you happy? How long before you want other power tiers opened sooner? When will it end? I think you will always be searching for changes, until you realize that no change will make you completely satisficed with he game. Then you will move on. There's nothing wrong with that. It happens. Finally, I would think that pushing for new powersets or ATs would bring much more enjoyment for you, and last much longer that this. Why not go that route? At the end of the day, maybe the devs agree with you. Maybe they don't. No one is wrong. We all just have a different way of looking at this game, and want different things form it.

No offense, but I’m personally struggling to see how it wouldn’t make things easier. Even if only to a small degree, is that really what an already easy game needs? Shouldn’t we be trying to find subtle ways to add a little challenge to it?

So if it’s easy, why make it even easier?

Make the game easier, less challenging - there will be less incentive to stick around. Bill and Rudra are right. Ask to pick whichever pool power you want now, next you’ll ask to pick whichever t2-t9 with no regards for what comes before it. Then what? Incarnates at lvl2? You may say “that’s ridiculous”. But it’s not. The ask never ends. People always want what they want until they get it. Then they complain it’s too easy.

I mean, I’m not even sure why I asked. After all, everyone knows that REAL vampires sparkle and play baseball.

Anything about you sparkling in the sunlight?

Yeah, something is off on your card settings. Not sure why though. The default should have worked just fine

I am curious about this. I’ve yet to run it, but want to know if I’ll actually enjoy it when I do
