Wow... thanks for putting the nail in coffin for Asheron's call... Darktide's population is already down by well over 100. When I logged in, I think there were 260 clients online... its normally just over 400 at this time. Once the word gets out, you'll probably see many more bow out.... Age of Conan and Warhammer can't arrive fast enough now.


I think Turbine would rather have my $60+ a month of quality UCM action than $0 from unsubbed accounts.


Hey Turbine, make sure you mail out a thank you letter to these two clowns before you turn out the lights and lock the door on the Asheron's Call division.

I don't guess it would help any if I said it was a joint decision between both of us, and that none of my accounts have any level 275's? Not even close?


I mean, Para's been playing a heckuva lot longer time than I have. My first account was made in Nov '02.


*shrug*

I tried.

If he didn't UCM, his vassals did. If those UCMers contributed to him being 275 I'd still call him a hypocrite.


I'd like him to reroll level 1 and level up to 275 again with no UCM..we'll see how much fun he has.

Do you honestly believe this change was made to keep other people from getting to 275? That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard.


Blood hiding, leveling, and leaving was a classic DT strategy. I find your analogy poor! People are allowed to use different things according to their needs, and they have no right to expect those things to be provided by other people.


He hasn't even done anything to stop UCMing at all with these moves. On white worlds, you get 5 vit and sit at your lifestone. Big deal. On DT you get 5 vit, then sit at the ls until you detect a PK, and logoff. The only even marginal change is the components issue, and with the absurd amount of burden characters can handle, this will come up about once every 16 hours? If you aren't even checking in that often, it is still only 5 vit and a body you can run and grab when you get back. 5 vitae instead of just logging off in no way ruins the game.

His intention is to prevent UCM'ing, I wouldn't be surprised if they concoct some more pathetic ideas in the next update.


Will you be on his side then?

Thanks for the response Paraduck.

Why do you feel he has a responsibility to allow everyone else to UCM? Because you think he did? Sure, for the sake of argument I'll assume he macroed his ass off. In fact, I'll even give you the hypothetical concession that he is UCMing a dozen accounts as we speak. So what? Because he isn't helping you to do the same he is somehow in the wrong? It is that sense of entitlement that I have a problem with.


They can put any limitations they want onto their programs, to the point of, and beyond, making UCMing with it impossible, and I won't have any problems with it, or consider them hypocrites for it. So I doubt that will shift my viewpoint.

Would it help to say we're discussing ways to modify some of these changes to try to find a middle-ground here? I mean, nothing we do here is set in stone.


Though, the flying accusations and personal attacks are getting old and isn't really helping to turn our discussion around either.

This game died 3 years ago, and they're just now making an attempt to deter UCM. yeah, I don't think so... just a little too late.


Don't even try to pull the "better late, than never." because that isn't the case at all.


Anyways, I'm done arguing..fair, you of all people should not even be defending these morons, you have UCM'd plenty of characters yourself..hell I bet you are right now.


This. Is. A. Game


All these rules, all these stupid little "moves" to ban UCM need to stop.

Don't you wish you could take back the update, and ask the community for input rather than making such a terrible decision so quickly?
