Sorry, hope you realize I’m being sarcastic.

 

I did not.  Damn you, Poe' Laaaaaaaaw!  Gets me every time!

... I feel I should point out that, while it's not *popular* and it is rather segregated, they were talking about having PVP well before release. (Even at that point it was in arenas, though.)

They may have been "talking about it" as a goal, but the game wasn't built from the ground up *for* PvP, or it would've been in at launch in a big way.  If I want a polished, balanced, fun PvP experience, I want the game to be completely *built* around PvP.  In any other kind of game it's a side-show at best.

The Devs really missed an opportunity with PVP if you ask me.

 

Duels for a Name.  You want it, you must duel for it.  Forced PVP or give up the name.

 

Coming up next, PVP for right to have a SINGULAR costume piece, only one exists in the entire game at any given time.  

 

If only……

If it was good enough for the two Power Men (Power Mans?) then it's good enough for me.

“There is no such thing as a stupid question…” never survived modern humanity.

In the Navy we Chief's had a saying, "There is no such thing as a stupid question when it is asked the first time.  If becomes stupid when it has been answered then is asked again."

 

The exception was . . . its always stupid when asked by an Ensign.

As a former 2nd Lt, I represent that remark.  Though in my defense I had the good sense to enlist before deciding to get a commission.

as a former deck ape i can say the true joy is in asking stupid questions in a way that makes it seem like

1) you actually dont know

2) you care about the answer

 

this is very entertaining in between cleaning and hauling

And the best part is, most people feared the First Division guys so they never got called on it.

[BurtHutt]

So, do we need to update our client before tonight's name event?

 

The suspense...it is palatable...

You can punish a deck ape.  But what are you going to really do?  Make them do more work?  Deck apes are either getting in trouble or working…

[High_Beam]

I did not have to update client.  I logged on.  at 2130 and High Beam wasn't available.  at 2140 after fighting some carnies I tried again and got my High Beam back.  I am nowt 2 shots of tequila in after 9 minutes.

Had 5 toons on Indom that I didn’t want to transfer to Excel because their names weren’t available there. 
 

Got 3 of the 5 names now on Excel.

Excellent

[Greycat]

Entertainment for the moment:

Watching people pop in to Outbreak. Seeing if you can guess who it is after a few names. I'm picking up definite themes for some folks 😄

[Troo]

I'll post a list of what I got later. I had a list of 10 with two I really wished for.

[Snarky]

I had Snarky on every server but indom.  Much like High Beam after a few minutes I got it.  

[Glacier Peak]

Seems like it was a good decision after all. Congrats to the folks who finally got their namesakes and other sought after names. I haven't had any names I've wanted, so I'm not too interested. 

[Biff Pow]

I was checking some names just out of curiosity but didn't create a character. So keep trying in case I had it on hold for however long it waits. Definitely some great names available.

[dtjunkie]

Devourer? is now back to the original Devourer, who was my first villain on Live.

Lord Charming is now Prince Charming

Mama Lava is now Pele

And I can finally make Speedball and Brass Monkey.

 

Thanks Homecoming!

Heh.  I had some names on Everlasting I wanted to open up so I could transfer the charas from Excel.

[OEM61]

I started trying some things out as soon as the time came but nothing was happening for me, and then, as others have said, several minutes later after checking a name again it was suddenly available.

So I made myself a toon for that name (I had the names I wanted for all of my existing toons, so these were just a couple of concepts I had not made), checked another name that had been taken, saw that it was open as well, and made myself a second new toon.

So I was two-for-two.  Might try some more later.  I'll see.

[Magical]

extremely happy with the name release event. snagged 50+ names and counting, this should keep me busy for the next few yrs.

 

didn't get everything i wished for but the hits and lucky finds vastly outnumber the misses.

 

every time I snag a name I am certain would be long taken, I slap my thighs, lean back, point at the screen and cackle like a supervillain. this is the most fun coh has ever been for me, thanks hc devs ♥️
