Slow learner? You'd think after 10 years he'd have learned he was half way home. Retirement bemmies sure did sound nice. I couldn't make the full 20. But who am I to judge? I only made it 5 yrs.

Yeah, that's a golden ticket worth having. I knew a guy when I was in Kuwait that was about two years away from hitting 20 years in the Army (he was a Captain). AND, he was also like 14 years with the police force in his home town. So basically, by age ~50 he was gonna be a 20 year military vet and a 20 year police vet.
Thanks for checking us out people. I've been with this bunch of dirty hippies for a couple years now and we are pretty excited to kick some **** in CO.
well, they aren't really dirty... and not too many hippies... except for that Boro guy:D
Except Nyx. She can rescue me any day, baby. Plus, she's from New Jersey, so you know she's pretty much down for anything, and has no standards. That's my kinda gal!
I'll take Pepsi-man, sure he hasn't donated squat to save the West-migrating indigenious baphelope, but I'll take a glass of nice cool pepsi over the damned baphelope anyday.
By the way, I don't suppose we can talk going evil can we? I'm all about a good spot of villainy here and there.
Awesome. The private messages link currently isn't working. Very timely on them to screw that up now.
Alright, I'll try again tomorrow morning before beta starts. If you posted in this thread with an interest in running with us, I'll try to get in touch with you regarding our vent server info and such. Right now, I'm going to keep it simple for the beta - all members can recruit, so anyone wearing our tag can get people invited. (That's also how it'll work at release. Life is uncomplicated, eh?)
We'll get it all sorted out tomorrow. FYI - the character I'm going to be using for our guild leader is "Tell", so if you shoot "Tell@Dao_Jones" a note in-game when I'm on we'll get you squared away. Otherwise, I'll catch you here, in game, or through www.unrepentantgaming.org, if you've signed up there.
Looking forward to getting sexy with y'all. And I mean that in the most unsavory way imaginable.
Man, I wish we could still drink at work. Nothing like being blitzed outta your mind and operating heavy machinery... Oh wait, this is just a bump, isn't it. Nevermind.
We actually have a pretty good contingent of former and current military to commiserate with.
Yeah I am slow. I still walked away with a monthly payment from Unka Sammy though.
Everyone in my family has been Military. Most of them did 20+. I'm the one that walked out early with a fat check and life long payments and I'm halfway through to another retirement
I'm at work now... but as soon as I get home it is BETA time again. I don't know why I'm so excited, I already had my closed characters wiped and these new open characters will be wiped in a week. .... But, I'm still excited and will be again at realease I suppose.
At the rate this patch is going, I won't be able to finish before I have to leave for the office. So the 'Cards may have to wait until this afternoon to get formed.
I'll see if I can get someone else in the guild to form it up if they can get five of us together before I get home.
Since the messaging system here is STILL broken (epic failure this close to launch), the best way for you guys to get in touch with us is via the in-game search feature, or to register at our website (www.unrepentantgaming.org).
I still have 2 hours and 6 minutes before I get off from work... and that is if no emergencies happen. Then a 20 minute drive home. Then check my patching % as I strip down to get ready to play and collect my snacks.
So the patch keeps disconnecting me from the download server so I keep having to redo it. I hope they fix this problem. I was at 25% then it froze.
So how was age of Conan? That game was hyped to no end
I got back from work to see that my patch crashed at 25%. Which was about 6% past where it was when I left. I restarted it. It froze around 7%. I retarded it again, and it downloaded 32% of the remaining patch in about a minute (around 800mb), but now it's trickling again. I think I'm just going to start and stop it repeatedly until it downloads everything.
Age of Conan was fun for the first twenty levels (the starter zone). After that, it went sharply downhill.
For people stuck patching 3.6 gigs at 0.1mb per hour, here's a way to cut that patch down to ~950mb, if you haven't already found this solution elsewhere:
It's important to say that cryptics instructions on the 'workaround' were wrong.
They said you should put all the .hogg files at /live/prepatch/piggs. That's WRONG. you actually gotta put them in the /live/piggs folder. It worked here. 'just' 952MB to go.
Yeah, I think the solution is to just start the updater, walk away and come back on 01 Sep. Just to start it all over again!
At least with the game not working, I can accually work on my radio certs for work. Stupid certifications required to fix stuff!?:mad: What ever happened to sending a man a tech manual and letting him dick around with your equipment?
Yeah. Only problem now is I work at an FAA certified repair station. So there's like laws and stuff that have to be followed. Something about people flying with the crap we fix, and putting peoples lives at risk. All I know is, if the plane crashes, I didn't fix anything on it, honest. Don't mind that paper trail thingy...
On the bright side if the plane does go down, the paper trail goes up in smoke with the plane and charred remains of all the people blindly putting their faith in an unholy mechanical bird that carries people from point a to b in its stomach O.o blasphemers the lot of them

HAH! :eek: Don't they know only the gace of our Lord and savior can carrier them from point A to point B?
Anywho. Rasslin'? Really? Maybe you should take a ride in one of the unholy mechanical birds that I had a hand in repairing. I mean come on.
Well the loader is down so thats a good thing. they prob fixing it, and the patch size is dieing down on its own, I still wish that we knew more about the powersets. and a toon at endgame should have 14 powers(including your endurance generator, but excluding the 2 movement powers you get at levels 5 and 35, It would be nice to get a heads up as to see all the powers. I think thats why the open beta is so important, seeing all the powers and figuring out what combo works well for you. damn patch

Hah! I wish I could put stuff like that in my teardown reports!. Those crazy A&P guys crack me up. No, I get to word responses like that with more care and pinache. Throw in some tech gargin and call them a tard and they won't even know it.
My only regret is that I didn't make my login name shorter, totally random, but seriously, the way to sort out ppl with the sametoon name is ridiculous, mines are gonna be a ***** for someone to add me

Is it the same as your forum name? Because CerberusCraven doesn't seem like it would be too bad. Unless the person trying to add you can't type....or spell....or read....or misunderstood what you said in vent...
Okay, so it COULD be bad, but most of the problems listed above would make entering names difficult no matter HOW long they were.
I picked up this sweet game today. It's called Launcher Wars
You get the main download from Fileplanet and then the "Launcher" comes up and apparently the goal is to keep track of the "percentage received" and if it stops you reload the launcher. Supposedly if you get it too 100% there's some pretty good endgame, but I don't think anyone has ever actually gotten that far yet.
Whatever the excuses and mitigations, this is pretty amateur work for a well established MMO studio. But since I have a real life and some very real homework to do I can't say I'm too disappointed. I was just hoping to get a feel for what toons I want to bring into launch and I think I'll still have plenty of time for that.
Also, let me know if you figure out any more about doing an alliance; like if it can be done in an organized fashion like in CoH, and we'll get that up and running too... if we ever get into the damn game.
This sounds like the kind of group I would like to be in as a casual gamer too. I may not even be around for a while after the beta, but I will be back, and I am a casual gamer. I do have two of my character in SG's already, though I haven't really talked with those guys in months, and they probably wouldn't be as casual as I need to be anyway.
Okay! The guild is up, and all members have invite permissions. Run with us in beta if you'd like, and if you like us and we like you then we can make some magic happen at launch.
My character is Bestial Wrath@Fryu, the game is split up on servers so i'm not quite sure how I'm gonna find you guys to join the guild (or vice versa). I'll check these forums tomorrow tho, right now i'm getting off for awhile been playing for about 6-7 hours straight.
Anyways I'm level 9 now but getting bored of soloing, would rather group level if possible >.>

That's some pretty sweet retirement cheddar.
well, they aren't really dirty... and not too many hippies... except for that Boro guy:D
anyway, thanks for taking a look.
Also, I know I'm going to be a badass hero, but I don't think anyone can measure up to this guy.

nah... but my 6 year old's fingers getting pretty tired clicking "Check Now" over and over.
Unfortunately the message from Cryptic is pretty specific:
That's what he's there for! He's old enough to start earning his keep.
FYI - no one is as awesome as these folks: http://www.reallifesuperheroes.org/. Seriously. Every link is like a new failblog page.

Sorry for the mess - I blame everyone but me.
In fact, I joined this board while I was waiting to playtest closed beta for Age of Conan. What a massive disappointment THAT game turned out to be.
18.2% now. At least it'll finish patching before I get home... unless it stalls.
Then..... I'm there!
I can count to twelve...if I take my pants off...
...and as long as you have no problem with my pantless lifestyle, I will join your merry band.
So how was age of Conan? That game was hyped to no end

For people stuck patching 3.6 gigs at 0.1mb per hour, here's a way to cut that patch down to ~950mb, if you haven't already found this solution elsewhere:
Hope that helps some of y'all.
Patched 1193 MB/2768 mb
Recieved 141.9 mb-43%
and as far as that walk around thing. im treading the thread and ppl are complaining that its not working regardless
At least with the game not working, I can accually work on my radio certs for work. Stupid certifications required to fix stuff!?:mad: What ever happened to sending a man a tech manual and letting him dick around with your equipment?

Which one is your handiwork?
And I'm having the EXACT same problem with the gameclient.exe file again.
I'mma go get some eats and some beer. Maybe some tequila.
[edit] LOL! It didn't stick at 93.4%, but now it's stuck at 99.3%! That's progress! Cruel, black-hearted progress, but progress of a sort.

Add "Tell@Dao_Jones", and shoot me a note to let me know who you are.

Later, homeslice.
hmm must take a few min for the signature to show up
-too bad im 50 miles away at work. Every MMO should have remote desktop compatibility, even if it is seriously gimped.
hmm.. I think you are mistaken:D
Anyways I'm level 9 now but getting bored of soloing, would rather group level if possible >.>
