    Found the post on horns no more offensive than the everyday World Chat. Only difference was it was some folks I never heard of. I do find it funny that the the very same people that hog World Chat with useless dribble are upset someone else can for one day come and play in their private sandbox.

    I also saw many (NOT ALL) post that were from people saying hello to other players or family members. Everything free will be abused, by immature and social dysfunctional twits.

    As for the server crashing, you fail to see the good side (AND MORE THAN LIKELY THE MAIN REASON MOST ARE QQ'ING HERE) was it removed those ever annoying cat shops from west ARCH. That alone made any DC I had worth it. I am sure the lower level players that actually play and don't hyper appreciated the ability to do the many quest that are in West Arch that these cat shops make a pain to even think about. Talk about selfish uncaring pains in the **** people.

    Is there no way to turn this off?

    I *just* logged on again this morning, to be greeted by the messages "Hitler wasn't so bad! After all he did kill Hitler!" "YOLO" and "U JELLY???" complete with random smilie faces. And these messages were LARGER THAN MY CHARACTER ON THE SCREEN because of the font, bold, and color choices. The horn window is larger than the character I'm controlling for game play.

    All I want to do is log onto the game and smash things. And I can't see half my screen now.

    I'm all for letting people in game play have fun, and if they're here to yell through the World chat or whatever, peachy. But if you're going to create a perk for some people that will create an additional pop up for EVERYONE on the server, much to the OTHER PLAYER'S discontent, you need to code in an option so that we who don't care about this perk can turn it off.

    Annoying as horns are they do provide a valuable service -- they identify players with whom you never want to squad.

    Thank you PWI.

    Horns bring out the "dumb" in people on both sides! Those that wrote them, and those that nag about spammage.
    b:laugh And I love to notice that! It makes me feel even more superior b:cool
    I mean, come on!! Did you see how lame those msgs are?! I've heard of people scraping their dog's poops with more imagination then most of those horned shouts. Seriously, if you honestly think we all must read your idea, make us brake a laugh, or w/e just make it count. b:beg "Getting rid of this thing" is... is... jeez.!. Makes me wonder, if there is any IQ out there at all?!
    And to yall crybabies who already have burned yours and came here now to QQ - As far as I'm concerned nobody's flame against spammage is legit until I see pix/vids of you NPCing yours! b:laughb:laugh

    One more thing to point out!
    Giving us the option to block/hide/not see the what's horning out there, makes horns = teles. (OK there are special emos - but still..)
    Asking GMs to give us that option isn't the brighest idea some of yall had. You might wanna put some effort and use your thinkers while whining. Reffering to times we had no way of getting horns, is prolly the best example of making a valid suggestion.
    No offense meant, ofc. I'm just sayin' .. ... . b:kiss

    People keep asking devs/GMs for an option to hide Horn-msgs. Guessing, like we can hide certain channels, so they don't show in our chat log. But if we had that option it would make Horns equal to Teleacoustics.
    Others however, suggest simply stop giving them as reward while programing/deisgning/ adding new features or events in game.

    Now, which one makes more sense? b:thanks

    Making them equal to teles? That's sort of our point. I don't think most of us mind people having additional smilies, colors etc. to play with. We resent having no control over a window that pops up over other windows, and a chat method that intrudes into channels like faction and squad, where we are - oops, I mean should be! - able to decide exactly what we want interrupting faction and squad chat (like I let whispers come into those two, and normal in case mobs say something I need to react to). I have WC and Trade filtered out of those chats, and I have it set up that way for a reason - I don't want them interrupting.

    I don't follow why the most valid suggestion is to make them unavailable again. I don't want to ruin other people's fun by taking away horns. I want to be able to control what shows up from other players on my screen.

    **Granted, just making them unavailable may be the quickest way with the least effort, but those two reasons don't necessarily mean that way is more valid or sensible.

    Ms_Mystic - Heavens Tear Keeping the horns destroys the game's fun for the rest of us. We now have to keep having crude, rude, and downright pornographic text flashing before our eyes with no way to stop it. This shows what type of people this game wants as clients and the rest of us do not fit. It looks like it is time to find a decent game that actually cares about it's customers.
    I totally agree with you this game isn't for everyone big yellow text!

    I dont' really mind that they interrupt squad chat because its pretty few and far between. It's annoying that they have their own window what moves around even if you hide it away and pops up over everything else. If it was just a different colored text with some additional smileys that came through over fac chat every once in a while I would not care.

    How is it like making horns equal to tele's? The point is people want an option that turns horns off 100%. If people want to use horns to get in game attention that they can't get IRL so be it. But at least we should be able to decide if we want to see it or not.

    The entire point of horns is that they can't be turned off. I can see why people who like them don't want the entire point in getting them (and the only permanent way to get them is to spend 5 gold and level an alt to 50) to be taken away from them. The main reason that they are annoying is that obnoxious text box that pops onto of everything else and blocks it from view. I think a reasonable compromise would be to disable large text and that window and have it appear in small custom text the same way a duke shout would look like.

    I think that horns are great, a good way to catch ur attention. BUT I believe that since there are no control of what u can write in any of the PWI chats, they are used badly and in offensive ways, which lead to ppl hate the horns. (Nobody wants a big blinking texxt over ur screen with stupid and nasty things on it).

    So Instead of asking pwi to ask the game developers to remove an item just because the players make a bad usage of it lets ask PWI to endure the ethics in the game regulating what can be found offensive for everyone in any chat and ban those creppy players for life.

    I found asking to remove horns from the game like asking the goverment to remove the kniives from the kitchen because they can be use to kill ppl.

    Regards,
    b:bye

    It's more like asking the government to stop other people from throwing knives through your window to get attention. I don't really care if a topless chick is on that knife, or a peaceful poem to teach me about life and love. I just want to know whose gonna fix my window. Now if this is some kind of theoretical knife they have a right to get my attention with no matter what i'm doing. I ask that they make it so its less obtrusive. Turn that knife through the window to a loud speaker played at avoulme that's audible to everyone but doesn't hurt anyone's ears or ruin their daytime television.

    200 quests is easily achievable at 35. The problem is that not only it's becoming widespread, but you can't block them.

    I understand the purpose of the horn; it was created so that it wouldn't be blocked, but that's the core of the problem. They show up in a separate window (I moved that one), but they still bleed throughout every chat setting, like system settings...

    And remember that this is the internet. If people are given the tools to remain anonymous and be jerks, they will.

    Not only they've been given the tool, but you can't block them.

    It's only a couple days though, so I can live with that. x.x

    What I would like to know is how long this npc is going to be around. I want to wait to pick up the last quest on three of my characters til I play them so I can actually enjoy the temporary dress for the time I have it. I don't want to just grab it and have it time out, but I also don't want to let it slip by and miss out when the npc is removed.

    On a side note.. I've npc'd something like.. 6 horns. You're welcome Dreamweaver, 6 horns were never used for evil. b:shutup

    Yeah, I'd say The Spam from Horns out there, is just a bit Annoying.....




    I just finally bothered to go through the {Perfect Questmasters} '6~Stage' Quests (For each of my '13~Characters' (Dear God! I hated those Tedious {2.6~hours} of time (Even if it was for 'free XP and temp Fash! & Yes! Free Horns?!'))) b:sad


    But needless to say! Outta the {3 servers} I play, it Averaged about {31 seconds?!) Between Horns!? !?!? !!!!??!!!b:surrender


    So I'd say its just a Tad bit of 'Spam Ridden HoRnEd OvErKiLL!' Out there right now....b:sweat



    So lets hope they either drop the (Horns) all together from the (Awards List), or do something that they shoulda done! A long time ago & Finally Allow a {Lockout function} for 'Chat Windows' that everyone can choose to use, for the sakes of their own Sanitys !! !!!b:faint


    I may occasionally use Horns myself, but atleast I use them only Sparingly! And only on rare occasion.... So even I can see what everyones talking about out there.....

    It is just a 'Tad Bit AnNoYiNg' out there when you see that much Horned SpAmMmm!!!!!!b:spit

    You know what I did? I took all 6 quests, but the 6th, with the fashion, stayed in my log and I didn't get the reward because I had filled my inventory and let only 8 slots free (you need 9 slots free to get it). So when I want the fash, I'll just empty my inventory and get it b:cute

    Glad to help! You better double-check the number of slots needed though, I am almost sure it was 9, but it might have been 8 also, so it's best to fill the inventory a bit more.

    <_< I hate to say it but...the horns don't bother me. At all, really. The little chat thing that pops up (on my screen at least) is miniscule and uninvasive. And usually I'm too busy having guildie chat to really pay the horns much mind. They blink a couple times, then the text is gone way up in my scroll bar. I've never used one before, so I'm saving mine for a guild event. =)

    And the emotes are BLUE! <3

    I don't really care about the horns because everyone's getting just one and they'll finish their spam in a few days, hopefully, but it does bother me that the horn spam is messing up my PM's. I usually come back from afk and check to see if I have any messages, but I can't see them because all of the horn spam keeps refreshing my private message window, so to speak. That's frustrating as hell.

    There should be an option to turn horns off period! I don't care if they are designed to not be ignored, it was simply an ignorant idea to begin with! Why should the rest of us care what someone else has to say? And why should it be forced on us? Duke Blacke is bad enough and we have world chat if we're looking for a squad or want to sell/buy an item. Sure this may be temporary but we still have to tolerate horns after the fact...others shouldn't have fun at someone else's expense..what some deem as fun others do not! b:angryb:angry

    Npc'd all mine too.

    What I could never get is why people who say they need the space in their inventory through the horn they're using just can't go to the closet npc and sell it.
