    Why do night goggles and floating torch make the daylight too bright while not doing much at all for specific parts of Broken Shores and missions, what is there a solar eclipse over just me?
    Wow. You still look at the scenery? :P On a side note, maybe my graphics card sucks, but the floating torch doesn't really help at all and provides about this ---> <--- much light. NVGs work fine for me, and I don't understand why people complain about headaches and whatnot. :P (Note: I haven't bothered with a light or nvgs since level 30ish. Don't really need to see the scenery anyways. ) Nother note, if you're not playing AO in 32 bit, then everything is darker. Or at least for me it is. What I hate are those all white rooms that I run into late at night when my eyes are already straining. Makes me want to just close my eyes and go to sleep.....

    The whole mob thing is because that dumb mob isn't really where your client is showing it. I assume it's server-client sync issues. That damn yoyoing is like 9 gazzilion times worse after 14.4...or at least it seems that way to me.

    BS has a gazillion storms, as well as many people in the zone. Add all that green ambient lighting, zillions of buildings etc, can you expect it not to be 'laggy'. Anyways, lag is such an overused word in this game. 98% of 'lag' is just your computer working at 312% trying to render everything and keep it scrolling smoothly. (I know people who don't 'lag' at all in BS :P ) I myself 'lag' horribly for the initial minute or so, then am pretty much fine until I zone out and zone back in.

    As for the rest, it's because they were too busy implementing different looking chests. Because that is super uber and a must have fix to balance the game.

    Why would you put someone on ignore for asking you for mochams? IF someone asks for a buff and I have it I give it to them. For free. Like it should be in my opinion.

    I guess I really understood the usefulness of the floating torch when I had to give up my NVG for my... err... special NCU interface. Now I really do understand the pain. Really.

    why do i have a beard?
    Why cant i cut it as i want to?
    Why can't i color it yellowish if i want to?
    why won't anyone give a poor NT a Mocham?

    Why do i write this in red?
    Why don't i write this in red?
    Why CAN i write this in red?

    And why does Emiko have a larger postcount than me?
    Nerf Emikos postcount, i smell an exploit, she can cheat her way through the 60 sec delay. just because she's a forum-whore, and i'm not, doesent mean she just can HAVE 800 posts. It's unfair, i want a 90 sec delay on her, just because she's better than me.




    (oh, those last lines was a ironic comment to all whiners who can't accept enforcers and soldiers actually SHOULD be better fighters than traders, fixers, aso.
    Think if columbus (he's prob what i call an adventurer) meet Conan ( i know, closest to an enforcer i came up with) in a fight, who would win? )



    hehe i'll stop now, silly me

    First off, I do cast mochams on some people. When I feel like it. However, since I can't even enter NLC (well, just about any populated zone really), without being SPAMMED TO ALL HELLS with a gazillion tells, I'd probably be casting buffs nonstop till I grew old and died. Then you have the 83% of requestors who send their request like this, 'Give me MC TS mochies'. Excuse me, I'm not your slave. If you can't even ask nicely, you're auto ignored. Then you get the ones that start of with 'hi' then 'can you cast mochams' then 'will you cast mochams on me' then 'ts mc'. Don't take 9 gazillion tells to ask me for something. Ha. Then there's the ones who after you cast mochams on just once, seemed to have added you to their friend's list. Then they seem to send you a tell every fwaken hour asking you to come and refresh their mochams. My buffs are for me. When I'm feeling nice they're for you. I don't play this game to be a buffing machine. And no offense emiko, you're an adventurer. I will bet my life and the lives of any future children I have that I get at least 20 times the requests for buffs then you. *shrug*

    I agree with you , I did not understand because I dont know get requests for buffs ever, unless it's in a team mission then I regularly get asked for Grinning Hunter, Gaurd of the Grizzly, and Superior Wilderness pRotection.

    Every quote except for the one about camping was a direct quote from the agent or crat professional report replies

    After reading every single one of the professional reports, I started to see a bit of "ctrl-v syndrome" going on...

    think the crat replys are bad read the engi replys. ack. we got.

    Oh your not broken your suppose to suck.

    Oh your bot is supposed to get stuck everywhere. we here in the office don't have this problem.

    Oh yea engineers are very desirable profession. why some peope are reporting not being able to get into groups is being looked into.

    hey your bot has the most health of anything in the game so what if the mobs will target you because you do more damage this is intended.

    << hidareign walks into the funcom office type /pet hunt. watches as Big SpaZ gets stuck in the entrance way. >> BAH
