  • I nearly fell out my chair laughing at some of the comments here.  I especially found the ones about DDO having best combat system to be oh so damn funny.   Personally I would say it is a toss up between AoC and War.

    he didn't have to be there or be a freaking clairvoyent to know that what gfiz was talking about was not possible.  Those of us that have the CE box and those who have seen it know that the mini was in an individually wrapped blister package inside a recessed compartment in the center of a rather large reinforced display box.  Any damage to the mini would have had to of been delibrately done by the shipper or whoever.  The "Damage" and "Broken Arm" is probably the claw bit on the right arm that was cast as a seperate part so it would fit in the mold.

      Any one who has put together a Games workshop model (or any model for that matter) would know they come in parts and need to be assembled.  Most GW metal models are 3 or 4 parts and the plastic ones are 10 to 15 parts.  If you think your Mini is "Broken" take a picture of it and post it (pic or it didn't happen).  Then if it is actually broken I, or another skilled modeler, will walk you through repairing it or you can call Games Workshop ( the maker of the model) they are really good about compinsating people for damaged figure kits.  I'll even supply the phone numbers

    good luck

     

    Your post is a contradiction of itself.  Highlighted it to make it easier to point out.  Like I said, if you weren't there.  YOU have no way of know what condition it was in.  First you say it's not possible for it to be broken.  Then you turn around in next paragraph and say if it is broken.  So which is it?  If it wasn't possible for it to be broken.  The blue text wouldn't even be necessary.

    
     

    Well you are a regular sherlocke holmes aren't you?

    Why don't you re-read his post, because he said (highlighted in yellow) that Mythic's packaging made breakage impossible, but he then admitted it could have been broken in  the shipping process. Which would indicate the need to call Games Workshop for help.

    Never try to win an argument by taking things out of context, especially if the full text is in your face.

    Reading comprehension ftw.

     

    I think it's you that needs to read it again.  Did he ever say how it was broken? Not really.  The guy with the CE box merely stated that he opened it found figurine broken.  Followed by post from at least 3 people saying "BS" and "not possible".   Doesn't matter if it was broken before being boxed or even by the shipper.  Fact of the matter is the guy found his figurine broken.  What part of that don't you understand?

     not sure what you think the poster is lying about, but considering I collect Warhammer figurines, and I ordered two copies of the CE, I can verify BOTH figurines were broken.  Arm snapped right off in shipping.  About half my guildies had the same thing happen.  As far as the beta access goes...that's kind of how it happened.  Just like headstart as well. 

    I don't regret buying the CE though, the graphic novel was pretty awesome.

     

    How is that even possible though?

    The miniature is packaged, as well as sealed inside the box, in its own recessed space within. For that miniature to have been damaged during shipping your box would had to have looked like it had a close encounter with a wrecking ball, to say the least.

    The shipper would literally have had to kick the living piss out of my CE box to damage anything within.

    Sounds like bullshit to me.

     

    So you are saying you were there when he opened the boxed.  Therefore allowing you to know what condition it was in when it arrived?  Of course not, you and Getalife are just talking out your ass.  Neither one of you know what kind of condition his package arrived in.  Unless you are going to claim yourself to be some know it all medium, that can see things from great distances, or without even being there.

    OP you don't feel that a naked guild undermines the spirit of the game?  I admit it does sound like an interesting challenge.  Yet the whole point of the ability to loot corpses on death, is to penalize people for dying.  Though that might only be my understanding of why.  If/when Darkfall is released.  Someone should do a journal of day to day activities, documenting the trials of being a "Naked Clansmen".

    The "spirit of the game" is supposed to be the Freedom to play the game in any way that you like as long as it doesn't break the EULA. 

     

    Now if the Devs or a GM determines that CLAN Naked is indeed an exploit or some other "cheat"... then Yes... we may have to modify our intentions. 

    Until then... we are going to assume that playing naked is just as viable as any other strategy. 

     

    I wonder if people would target you more because you are easier to kill.  Or less because you have nothing rewarding them for kill (you know trophy hunters).  lol Please get someone with a PC fast enough to video it, and do journals to.

    I'll give Aventurine credit for their word play.  They do indeed leave alot up to ones own understanding.

    
     

    Ahh, but see.

    Some would question your inclusion of the Mid-December portion into the equation... there was no such mention of any "mid"... there was only beginning and early.

    So, since there was only mention of beggining and early... you can only use as counter-points End and Late.

    So that means the only viable way to split it up is:

     

    Early/Beggining of December = 1st to 15th

    Late/End of December = 16th to 31st

    That way they get an "extra" 5 days to work with.  No fair trying to cheat them out 5 days of wiggle room.  And yes... they know their word play. 

     

    Technically it wouldn't be a lie if you split it like that to.  Early being 1 to 15 would indeed be the beginning.  While 16 to 31 would be Late which would indeed be the ending.  i.e Beginning weeks/days of Decemember.   Very interesting, I wonder if it's a greek thing.  Because I know where I live.  For the most part people consider early or beginning of a month to be the first week (1st to 7th).  Even more curious to see where this goes now.
