Shinryu

I wish there were more to the patch, but if you look at it as a standard patch and not as some sort of coup de grace, it's not a bad patch at all. Nice to see the Vista fixes even if I'm not running Vista, but it's too bad a couple of the...

Cool hehe No fangs though?

Happy Birthday Hope you're having a good one.

See, now that's just not fair... basically seems the storyline was ending come the end of the year anyway, but it just sounds so epic even in point form like that Thanks for giving this to us, Rare, even if I'm even sadder now that we won'...

Live Event character masks would be very nice to have... as would some sort of storytelling tools.

While the signs have been there for some time now, this is still shocking news... it's the sort of thing you can see coming but keep backpeddling in some hope you can outrun it. Thank you for all of your time and effort, Rare. We certainly...

Hehe I remember this stuff... and it still looks great Look forward to seeing more.

Thanks for the help. I haven't had any luck pulling them one or two at a time seeing as how they aren't visible, but obviously it's possible since that's what so many seem to recommend. My issue wasn't one or two at a time, that's not bad...

It may or may not fit in this topic, but I figured I'd post it here anyway... Anyone have any particular tips for taking on the Lupines in Creston museum?

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/act...p;mode=previews Holy.. stuff, this looks awesome.. and sounds pretty good too. Be sure to watch the trailer featuring *gasp* actual gameplay for once.

White Area K? Well, it's not a white half duster exactly, but it looks pretty cool anyway. Black headgear? Meh... I guess I can see the appeal of the hat/mask combo, but it's never been anything I've been interested in. Maybe if the price...

Sounds like there's a specific NPC in the area that you need to talk to in order to make the inactive PC usable. As for which one it is, I have no idea. Missions like this are easily some of the most annoying ones in the game.. finding one...

Beautiful work

http://www.last.fm/user/ShinryuFM Cool stuff.. might definitely be something to spend some time with.

Good read, great player.

Skull's got some good points here. I don't agree with him 100%, but goodness knows I have my own issues with the game and the way it's being handled by SOE and by others. In any case, I think everyone has made their point. Let's just let t...

Sorry to hear things didn't work out for you. Hopefully you'll be back at some point.. not only because it will be good to have you back, but also because it will mean changes have come that I and others want to see happen.

I've posted a new topic on this in the Dev Roundtable section.. perhaps we can get to the root of this so it can be fixed: http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/..._id=36300027248

As was brought up in the Top 5 things MMOs should learn in the new year topic here: http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/..._id=36300027219 There seems to be some uncertainty over how mission locations in Westview are chosen once you've reac...

Too bad, but you do have your reasons and seem to have thought it through. I'll have to hit you up on Live sometime.

I really do need to get my order in one of these days.. they keep getting better and better, Dark.

That's my guess as well. In the past, hackers destroyed pretty much any NPC without much difficulty. Perhaps the pendulum has swung too far back in the other direction and hopefully it will balance out at some point. I think if you're look...
