Ah, bugs. Currently I keep randomly hearing voice clips from a quest I already completed and an NPC I already killed, and also my character periodically loses the ability to mine because "you are already casting." None of the suggested bugfixes for the latter have worked. :shepicide: Good thing I can apparently also mine by punching rocks repeatedly!

I like how Cyster is responsible for the one part of Wildstar that is almost universally liked by people who played the game, yet is Hitler on SA because ???

Be fair, most goons are only lightly teasing Cyster, as far as SA treatments go. I've only ever seen one or two people actually sperging out at her, and they generally got told to calm the gently caress down by the other posters. I think most people just feel bad for her that her employment is hinging on this particular game.

I made my house look like a giant tiki monster holding a hammer. The hammer was made out of a huge board and my bed. It had a headdress made out of a giant bonsai tree. It's hideous maw was made of the alligator rug.

Do we even know if she still works at Carbine? I have been hoping for a while now that she would find a better opportunity some place else. I liked her work a lot and thought she responded well to various criticism.

The answer to the first question is obvious. It makes a lot of money.

The second question is one that I am confused about as well. Because chances are that no, the eastern market is not overflowing with pedos that are throwing tons of money at MMOs. More than likely, the common MMO player over there does not view this type of content in the same way that Western players do. They don't look at it and immediately think "sexy children". Or something like that. I dunno. I don't care for it but I still really want to play B&S.

I think it's not that creeps are over flowing the market but that creeps are the ones spending the most money. See the dudes in Japan spending several thousands of dollars to buy CDs they never listen to for the chance to win a meet and greet ticket with the pop stars.

Eh...yeah those people exist but I highly doubt that they consist of the majority of spenders. These people are a minority. They are considered weird in Japan too by a lot of Japanese just like people who do this same stuff to western celebs are usually considered weird in the states and EU. They don't drive these design decisions.

Some do I am sure, but they pale in comparison to people who just want to wear anime wings. The truth is that SA makes a much bigger deal out of these sickos than they actually are. They are insignificant and that is a wonderful thing.

Yeah. This. If I had a mod wish, it'd be that we lay off the 'I saw so many posts and...' thing and switch to 'nobody gives a poo poo that you hate people that everybody already hates--you're not scoring any points or looking like you're highly moral or whatever. In fact, it's weird you feel the need to make a point out of it.'

I hate gnome, goblin, elin, fuzzball, kittensnarfs whatever, because for some reason, the people who play them seem to love ganking someone lower level, rolling need on poo poo they can't use, or beating you to resource nodes.

Some might say this is an unscientific observation subject to point of view.

They probably play gnomes.

I'm all for burning the witch but this is just retarded. You don't need to make poo poo up to make fun of him.

The real answer is "I'm going to make fun of pedophiles all I want because no one but morons is going to defend it." He's trying to add statistics or some stupid real world meaning to a highly emotionally charged slam dunk of an argument. Numbers don't matter, making fun of pedophiles does.

Oops yes, I dunno how I hosed that up sorry. Blade&Soul makes me ill in equal measure due to the come-gently caress-me 9 year olds and the weird gigantic buttocks everywhere, it's pretty much the ugliest ball of what the gently caress I've ever seen in a game. I.e. a worthy successor to Wildstar.
