I myself, and I am sure a lot of others would like to see an answer from those in red regarding the question of Fixskills being available because of this being such a game altering "improvement". The curious silence is probably more frustrating than the change itself.

Likely answer: No, fixskills are given on may 20th. It is your choice to use it or save it until you may need it. If you no longer have your one yearly fix skills, then you will have to wait. In the future you may use your one a year fix skills more wisely.


don't expect one to be out this year, infact don't expect one until at least the seventh when it goes live for everyone above level 5.

Uh oh, now you've done it. You've committed one of the 3 classic blunders....

The first - Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
The second - Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
The third - Never, ever, ever use the terms AD and update in the same sentence...

Heh, love that movie.

Still think the new moc changes need fixing.

Good job getting forging out! I mean, its not like it took a year or anything. Who runs the schedule over there?

Heh, let me share some quotes from teh Hero Journey FAQ, because, in light of the changes for GS, they are...priceless...

Q. Once I subscribe, should I expect new content to be added to the game?
A. Simutronics is a company that prides itself on its ability to frequently and dynamically upgrade its games. The tradition of regular updates that we started 15 years ago will be alive and well in Hero's Journey. ...

Q. How will HJ differ from other MMORPGs? *
A. Simutronics' design motto is "More Fun. Less Tedium." ...

I see Jade's player and I are thinking about the same thing, I should have figured at least one other player would be pondering the need to use a fixskill they don't have to counter these changes.

I've already seen this posted twice and it still cracks me up. Someone needs to start a Heros Journey account and post warnings for these poor MMORPG playing people who expect to get what they pay for out of simu. More fun, less tedium... It's certainly not the motto in any other simu game I've ever played.

You know whats fun? Read Blizzard, NCsoft's or Sony Interactive's forums sometimes. Take a gander at the kind of vitriol people spew towards SWG, COH, D2 or EQ (id say WOW too but I havent read Blizz's since I got done with D2).

There wont be any need for you to sit around poison penning HJ for people. The MMO community is more than capable of it all by themselves.

Just want those incoming and still on their free accounts to get a good idea from someone who's played simu games for years. It'll be good for them to know what they're getting into.

After reading quite a few of your posts, I would imagine they will think the same thing that I do. You babble and complain a lot, but offer nothing constructive.

Oh, they'll just dump all us text-based phreaks once grafix come online.

I offered constructive ideas and have been ignored time and again. I e-mailed Warden, Melissas, Kitriana and feedback in an attempt to get some sort of poll offered to the player base about the FoF issue offering us a few alternatives so they might see what their players wanted. I was ignored by all but Kitriana who honestly just got the e-mail in case she could think of someone better to forward it to (No offense you just don't have much pull hun). I sad through HSN last year, HSN this year and RSN this year with no addition to the profession I play primarily AFTER Melissa apologized for the blunder in the first HSN. You're right at this point I'm just complaining. I'm just offering my personal disatisfaction with the way simu does business and how they treat their customers.

To the next few people who are going to tell me "Well if you aren't happy with how simu does things just quit." I enjoy this game but my enjoyment has been steadily declining over the last couple years. I'm sure eventually they'll make things tedious enough that I will quit if they continue down the path they are on. Honestly I'm not sure who to blame for this trend but I'm willing to point the finger at the people in charge. My first poll request was ignored, I've got another. I'd like to a poll to see if players feel Warden should be replaced. Since he's taken his position his constant strive towards realism and aweful vision for how the game should be has made it less fun to play. He's had his chance. I'd like to see someone in charge who puts realism after FUN. I know which one of the two I'm supposed to be paying for.

As opposed to what your doing? Complaining about him complaining? Hah.... Babble is right. Constructive is a matter of opinion. Just because it is a complaint does not mean it is not constructive. He is voice his dislike of a system, and wanting it changed. THAT IS CONSTRUCTIVE.

Just say F blah blah blah blah blah. Isn't. But posting what you don't like exactly is.

Kithus,
You pay for a service. If you do not feel that you are being given that service,or, are upset because the quality of that service has declined rapidly over the past few years... you have the right to gripe about it.

Gripe. Make suggestions. Whatever, your cash is no better or worse. Keep in mind, thats all you are..$ $. And you're fooling yourself if you think otherwise.
