  1. no the anger is that it was not posted in the game where 99% of the people could see it... go fanboi for EA on the SimCity forums - they need a TON of help...

     

    You mean posted in-game with a system that's currently broken where you can't even see the system message anyways even if they did do an announcement.

     

    Woo!

  2. You seem to be describing the endurance one at the shrine of healing, but said presence...

     

    Assuming you mean the endurance one at the shrine of healing, after you complete the quest, you have to click a cleansing or healing stone in a corner of the shrine (back left from entrance). You can't click the stone until you complete the quest, you can't get the cron until you touch the stone.

     

    He's describing the one in the nightmare lands by the lake which is indeed presence.

  3. I remember that well, sometimes 3 to 4 hours wait for a party, as a samurai. Re-rolled as a black mage and Ranger it breezed through, if you wanted to level quick, you had to be a paladin/red mage//Ranger/Black mage, the rest good luck.

     

    Or White Mage.

    I remember having to go perma /anon because people wouldn't leave me alone. And BLMs became SOL when Aht Urgan came around.

     

    Even then I remember times when even as a healer it still took hours to find a party because of the lack of tanks.

  4. This statement:

    "The second core rule is that subscribers should not experience any degradation of their gameplay experience. Those of you who are still paying a monthly fee should still get the same gameplay experience and you won’t find anything taken away from you and the gameplay that you currently enjoy. "

     

    Is contradicted by this statement:

    "Players with Preferred Status do not face the same limitations as a Free-to-Play player and will find that some restrictions are either removed or greatly reduced"

     

    As the above works down to:

    Players with Preferred Status ... will find that some restrictions ... are greatly reduced

     

    That "greatly reduced" phrase is equivalent to "taken away from you."

     

    What are these "greatly reduced" "restrictions"? And for "Players with Preferred Status", i.e. subscribers, why are there any, "some", restrictions at all?

     

    Or is that a typo that needs editorial correction?

     

     

    I'm rather sure you read that wrong. People with "Preferred Status" are people who have subscribed before (or have bought something at the web store for a minimum of $4.99) and have switched over to Free-to-Play. They are not recognised as a subscriber but as a previous subscriber and thus given a "Preferred Status" to recognise them as such.

  5. Actually when I told my bf that server transfers are available I forgot to tell him that there's a possibility of name change so when he transferred them he had to change both of his character's names.

    He got REALLY upset and threatened to not play anymore. I sweet-talked him out of that absurd idea and told him he could add certain characters and still keep his name.

     

    Off-topic:

    Funny story after that, he goofed and somehow named the wrong character and so I told him to send in a ticket to CS. They reset his names with no problems at all (thank you!) and was able to rename his characters properly. If they didn't reset his name he was really going to quit. So I'd like to thank Customer Service again for not letting my boyfriend rage-quit on me.

  6. It's just a jump to the left.

    And then a step to the right.

    You bring your knees in tight.

    But it's the pelvic thrust.

    They really drive you insane.

  7. I'm loving this. I'm a social person when it comes to MMO's and I can't help but to enter the general chat discussions. My RL friends don't get on as much as I do, but being able to talk with anyone at any time and start a random conversation by just saying "bacon" is amusing.

    I'm also making new friends quicker which is awesome so I don't have to rely on my other friends to get on. It's very nice to finally do every heroic at least once on each planet before leaving it.

    So far I'm loving my Pleasure Barge.

  8. They'd announce if 1.3 would be on the 19th like they did with 1.2.

    I suppose ever since the over-hype and super-high-positive reviews before the game was released and people lashing out in disappointment everyone's going the "everything Bioware does is all negative" now.

    IF this next maintenance was 1.3, maybe, just MAYBE, they're releasing it because they're ready for deployment.

    Nope, it's always some sort of scheming.

    Some people over-complicate things way too much.

  9. So the way I see it is:

    Even with having 3 level 50's (but my legacy level is not even yet 20) and having being a subscriber since the beginning I would still have to pay $40+ to advance my 3 level 50's...Unless I go and grind the crap out of my legacy level and/or play and max out my 5 other characters before I can advance the story of my original characters that I want to progress.

    I don't understand how that would be a good idea.

     

    Plus, no one said anything about a paid expansion or even expansion at all. The only words that have ever appeared were patches and updates. So, you're basically assuming a lot to get this idea.

  10. I would like to say a few things here.

     

    First off, I'd like to point out about server transfers. If my understanding is correct there will be multiple origin servers that will be chosen to transfer to one specific destination server. Example: Servers A/B/C will be given the choice to transfer to server X.

     

    Let's say there are Joe's on each of the servers A, B and C and all are still active subscribers since day one. However, the Joe on server X is unsubbed and hasn't returned at all since.

    Given this, Bioware decides to make the Joe on server X available.

    Now we have 3 Joe's about to hit the same server and they all want to be Joe's. Who will get the name Joe? Most likely the first Joe who transfers as with the first come first serve thing. But what if one of the two remaining Joe-wannabes felt it was unfair due to the fact that they were busy in real life ie. job, errands, etc.

     

    Just an example. Apologies if I made your head hurt from all of the Joe's and the ABC's.

    In my opinion it's more of a headache and will cause other problems and more issues that doesn't need to exist to make the name available again rather than leaving it as is.

     

    In the end, though, the other 2 Joe's will have to rename their character anyways. They won't know whether it was taken by an active subscriber or an inactive subscriber.

     

     

    My point is: leaving the inactive name as it is puts everyone in a more fair playing field.

  11. Kind of a silly topic.

     

    I mean, come on. No players = faster service. Of course everyone is going to be happy....

     

    Because well over a million players means there are no players.

     

    I concur with the thread. I had a good experience myself yesterday. The response was immediate and took no more than five minutes.

  12. I find the legacy perks to be more of a reward to me.

    Let's say they reduce the cost to 10% as someone suggested; or reduce them to 50k credits. 50k isn't a whole lot of credits. This game is just over four months old and a rather large patch was recently released (1.2) so we won't be getting another large patch like for at least a couple of months.

    If they reduced the cost as you would like to, getting all of the legacy perks wouldn't be a problem for anyone and you may get them all within a short amount of time. By then, most people would have that level 50 issue where they leveled to level 50 before February even came around and got nothing to do. You've already achieved what you wanted: your legacy perks. You may even already have a level 50. I don't know. But, my point is, by reducing said prices they're just making things much easier and faster to attain and thus you'll end up having much less to do and have to wait until the next big patch arrives.

    It's not smart in a business sense because once a player finds nothing else to do they have less reason to play. It's not good for a player because it'd make everything much too easy to attain and thus you may get bored sooner rather than later.

     

    That's just what I think, anyway.
