re: LoA Dragon Armor - 10% Fire Resistance
I'd rather have dep/ken as mirrors of the "real game" in korea. I don't want to play on a wimpy noob server like loa.
I mean hell, if i make it big, I want it to be worthwhile once i'm there, I'd rather not have it easy at all.

C'mon, I bet we could be good friends. You seem like a nice guy. Stop trying to act mean =P
#244 - Eantax
Mm let's see...yes, it certainly was beta, and had been forever, since they always delayed going gold. Ok, fine, so they made a few mistakes there. Then they have to publish those things on their site that certain gamers (called Heralds) write about stuff ingame, which, in the eyes of some beta testers, were deliberately misleading on the quality of the game, and they thought it unfair that due to the NDA they could not correct them. There was some fuss because UP found out that the Heralds may be getting paid (which could certainly make their writing biased towards making SB look good)...people at SB said they were getting paid, they weren't getting paid, they would never get paid, they weren't getting paid now but might get paid in the future...I was like WTF? (http://www.unknownplayer.com/news.php?id=988 ...UP doesn't always get the little details right but you can get some info here.) At one point they were having a contest on who could go on messageboards (including those specifically for competing games such as EQ and UO) and make the "most and best" posts about Shadowbane. Winners would be eligible to win Ubi Soft Prize Packs. IMO you shouldn't bribe people to advertise your game on other forums; if the players think it's a good game so they talk about it on their own, that's fine, but bribery? (http://www.unknownplayer.com/news.php?id=1107 ...there are screen shots of the contest there.) Hmm...and I can't remember exactly, but I thought the restricted races were originally supposed to be a quest reward or some such, but then they gave them out only to people who pre-ordered -.-;; One person used to be a big SB fan, but they (can't remember gender, don't sue me for bad grammar, "s/he" is a pain to type out) lost faith in Ubi/WP. So to show how they felt, they made a "Ubi/WP Faith-O-Meter" or something like that to be their signature on the official boards. It gradually went down as they saw Ubi/WP screw up. At something like 17%, a mod took it on himself to bully them. Then, IIRC, they got banned for the sig. I can't remember the other stuff the SB people did, but I remember listing them at the time for someone else who was interested in SB, and the list was longer than that =P
So NC Austin aren't the only idiots around who run games. BTW, NC (Korea) are somewhat idiots, but generally they're fair and not total morons like NCI/NC Austin...don't lump all of NC together :D

Perhaps they did shape up. I might check 'em out too.
#251 - BigPope
Do you pay ANY attention to what other people post (apart from the NC Austin idiots)? In about an hour, Whitehand's got 400k. 400k! There is a tax cap!
If they don't matter, why do you keep saying stuff like "They must've made <insert absurd amount here like 500 million>! That totally destroys the economy! You want the economy to be destroyed??"
Great, all of what I directed to you was meant for you, so why don't YOU answer?
#256 - Drathen
Heaven forbid they actually have GMs to HELP the players instead of going to the mall all day, coming home, and spending 2 minutes banning people for not cheating or letting their younger brother play...

re: LoA Dragon Armor - 10% Fire Resistance
well, not to say that it is fake, but that its possible that it could be fake. could have taken a screen shot with kg ring on when it did give 10% resistance, and now that you have red dsm ( or even if you had it earlier ) you could say that dsm gives you 10% resistance. there's no purpose in trying to trick someone about something like that so i would take it as true.
pretty good idea - to make dsm give elemental resistance finally, but the armor is so hard to make, it should give more resistance than 10%. oh well, something is better than nothing i guess.

re: Q&A Posted: Amer
It doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of LoA specific content. And even the little bit there is should be quick to add to the site.
Mentioning the Best Of Linweb hurt me. I really, really loved that feature when it was here, and it gave me more of a reason to play. You're damned if you do, and damned if you don't. NCSoft won't let you maintain the Best of Linweb, and yet they themselves won't make something to replace it. It just sucks. it's such a good idea, since ladders make people more motivated to play.
I think NCSoft should make changes to the Arena Deathmatch and the Dog/Slime Races. For the Arena Deathmatch, they should only give drops after the boss(es) are killed (Not in between rounds, it distracts contestants), and the boss monsters should drop like normal bosses. This would give players an incentive to beat the Deathmatch continuously, seeing as they've really died down. It's unfortunate seeing all the great options in the Deathmatch rules, but none of them ever used. Mae/female only, Class Specific, No potions etc. And how about making the Animal Tournaments active again?

re: Public Service Announcement
NCSoft's biggest problem with their customer service is that they don't have Monitors in the game to help with problems. Would it really be so much to ask to have one or two Monitors on each server (Whisper on) 24/7 to solves things through the game? The majority of players don't want to leave the game and go use the website to solve their problems. Some players want their problems solved quickly, and that, E-Mail is not. There's nothing more annoying than sending an informative E-Mail to NCSoft, only to have them send you one back that says one of two things. A. We're looking into it (We'll answer you in an indefinite period of time). B. Ask a stupid question like, "What server do you play on?" Even if it was already stated in the E-Mail you sent. To actually get anything done through the support website, you have to spend a good amount of time responding to E-Mail. And I for one, can't stand E-Mail.
They need IN-GAME support. They could make a schedule of which monitors will be on at which hours, etc. It's as simple as that.

re: Public Service Announcement
The fact still remains Amer, that if you make counterfeit currency, you won't be sentenced to death, or given life in prison, unless you murder a few people, and no murders occurred here.
#134 That's very arguable. A lot of people enjoy cheating when they play games. That's why there's hardware like the Game Shark out there. Whether cheating is fun for the player or not is all a matter of opinion. You play legitimately, and you have fun. Some cheat, and they have fun.
#135 Maybe since we lost Whitehand, you can come back, and continue where you left off?
I believe some people (On the Lineage.com forums), including Amer, were figuring out how much Adena you'd be able to make in a day with this "exploit". And it only came out to something like, 6m Adena per 8 hours. That's not so bad. Unless these people were doing this for weeks, I can't see how it could've been so bad to deserve a permenant ban.
