    cant see the point in it, all it does is slow the traffic to a crawl, but it still happens regardless as there will still be flames somewhere. the ultimate purpose? not entirely sure. kinda hoping this is a temporary measure. usually posts between 5-20 posts within a few hours a day. it wont change that post count, but rather delay it.

    As of now, all FacePalms have had their damage increased by %500 (up from %0.2) to self

    Enemy Damage has been removed from this ability.

    Enemy confusion will now be reduced to 0.8 seconds (down from random timer var increment, seed numbers have been removed)

    Enemies will be given an immunity buff after the first facepalm is cast that lasts 1 hour
    (no abilities decrease this affect and cannot be removed by any abilities and persists through death)

    I LOL'd .

    Thanks 4 teh funny ! :)

    You sir are to FUNNY! i like what you did there :p



    awwww i was hoping to see the 500 dilithium that would have been incredibly great to screen shot

    I do wonder if cryptic realise the more they do stuff like this the more they hurt themselves in the end, or maybe i missed the point here of all this.
    How to show your Guilt, blame the community, lock the forums down, have another dil reward event just over a month after the last one finished.

    Really though please implement the dil to post thing that would just be to funny.

    because they can?
    no other logical excuse i can see other than that to be honest, if they cant take the heat then they really should not be posting stuff that is bound to get flamed.

    i am disappointed there is no 500 dil to post now option although we could go more grindy with the forums and put the dilithium asteroid mini game on every post that way we can level up our forum accounts too LOL

    What if getting people to make alt accounts was their strategy all along, to get to show their bosses that DR has drastically improved new account numbers

    All the forums have been lately is just rage, flame, insults, harassment and trying to jusitfy those actions. This doesn't surprise me. I've seen this done before on other game forums, and they've been around for a while.

    You realize parts of the ARC website still does not function properly from the issues they had 3 weeks ago. Plus PW is in the process of changing the website to no-longer need to transfer Zen between games. I have seen Cryptic/PW make too many stupid mistakes to assume anything around here is done intentionally. :)

    How are things on other PWE forums regarding post delays?

    I am one with it, and I can feel a post coming... something official... something bad.

    A lame excuse is coming.

    Yes, I've felt it too. It's as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror over 'Specgate', and were suddenly silenced, and put behind a 300 sec time-gate. :P

    At this point all I can do is laugh.

    Anyway, has anyone actually paid 500 dilithium to post now? Just wondering where the 500 dilithium comes off of and if it actually works.
    Retired. I'm now in search for that perfect space anomaly.

    As others have pointed out, the forum timers are a sub-optimal solution symptom that only serves to exacerbate the overall problem.

    As I was saying...

    Fuchsia is a very calming color, I suggest you change the forum's background to this particular color.

    It has the same chance of calming everyone down as your asinine timer does.

    I wonder if Cryptic can hear the mournful cries?

    Oh, I don't know, it's as about as well thought out as all their other time gates. :P

    I absolutely love the logic of "There will be less negative posts, if only we reduce the total number of posts!"

    Brilliant! Except not.
