And I think this song applies you and your posts. Well... 'cept the "world on its knees" part.
As a bonus, have another one applicable to you..
Exactly UV.
It's not about being elite or not. It's about finding something in the game that could represent you as a character or as a person. I feel like because people look so much for fairness we've lost all of the uniquness.
Being unique is not always fair.
Being fair is not always unique.
I really think people would enjoy the game more if we could find something to identify yourself with. I mean why else does people spend so much on accessories, gear, and what not? It's because they build the things that they wish to represent them. We've lost that in the game. People have lost that in general,but that's a whole other issue.
I can't believe this argument is still continuing; nothing new is even being said anymore other than an increasing number of attacks on those who oppose them being upgradable/tradable.
As for "it's none of my business what they get/it doesn't affect me"; well, frankly it does. If I start running around Haven and seeing everyone with the 5* Honour it utterly devalues mine. It's not that I want to be better than everyone else or anything, but I got it for a reason, I got it because I complete the content of the game. Others didn't, they don't get it.
LD is an exact analogy; If absolutely everyone had bombheads, wouldn't it just defeat the point? You need to play LD to get them. If you don't, you don't get them. Give them away free to everyone and it steals the personal value from those who earnt them the legit way.
Forgive me, but I got my reward for a reason, I don't want people just being given it for nothing. It will affect me.
Brilliant.

I tried to be polite, rly, but now I don't.
I've not been talking to you at all until now, Nem, so why do you insist on attacking me every time you post? I'm not even referencing you in my posts. Or is it just annoying you that I'm no longer giving you attention?
I tried to be polite, rly, but now I don't.
You've said this a few times now and I've been mainly laughing it off as absurd, but I'm willing to hear you out.
Do me a favour and go through the past couple of threads that you've been flaming, trolling and rule-breaking, and find me a few post-links (right-click the post # (in the corner) and select "copy link location") and link me to these "polite" posts that you're repeatedly claiming to have made.
I'm serious; I cannot recall a single polite or well-mannered post from you, but I'm willing to accept I may be wrong.
I do speak the truth. No one has anything but opinions on any of this. Differing opinions at that. I agree that your attitude and words are deplorable. Taking this "no more mister nice guy" approach has gotten you nothing more than being civil did, or would have. Either way you cannot force a conclusion and are unlikely to sway others to your side. Thats how internet arguments go.
But by taking this approach one only serves to make themselves appear foolish, it detracts from any valid points one has to make, as it ruins any and all credibility of the messenger. While our point of view on the matter may overlap, you've done nothing to further it, nor its acceptance.
A perfect example, you need not look further than forum-brady above me. He and I have had very few agreements over the last two days, and differing opinions on many things. We've had civil back and forth without swaying eachother's opinions much. Yet, no where have we resorted to name-calling, chest-pounding, internet tough guy rhetoric, poorly spoken and grammatically flawed text, and personal attacks at one another. While I don't agree with many of his opinions I respect them all. Why? Because he conducts himself like an adult, gives his thoughts and exhibits that there is a reasoning behind them--even if i don't agree with his ideas, i see the logic that brought him there. And most importantly, he treats others with the same respect that he'd wish to be treated with, until they deny him likewise.
Its possible to disagree on the internet. Its possible to be civil on the internet. Its impossible to accomplish anything or sway any opinions with venom, bile, vitriol, and personal attacks. You merely end up exposing yourself as the things you are calling others.

Try prove her wrong, baka. Call her coward as much as you want, it doesn't change the fact that she's right.
"I tried to be polite, rly, but now I don't."
No, you didn't. I don't even have to quote you to prove it. it's all over your thread just about everyone here has read.

You see only the tip of the iceberg. Do you think you can make right conclusions?
I stoped taking this serious after I realise that I have been talking to children who want to look like adults, or how "smart" they are.
So now I just having fun.
At least it's not so disappointing to recieve stupid, shortsighted answers, just like your's now.

I can't help but noticed you conveniently ignored my post. Although, forgive me if you're still looking for the links. I understand if it takes a while to find them, considering the request~
Also, I find it amusing that you immediately begin to attack Unique as soon as he opposes with you to any degree; and he's someone who's actually on the same "team" as you in this overall debate~
You said I am troll. You said that Psycho should not to feed troll. Now you are talking to me.
Don't you think that you have confused in your reasonings?
It's happening when you trying to look smarter than you are.
"begin to attack"... I've found that you misunderstanding my sentenses (long time ago), or maybe you are just a sissy.
That's happening when you are teenager. They divide all things to black and white, just like you.
Oh, I said it out loud? -_-
I sincerely hope that wasn't you quoting what you feel to be your polite posts...
I tried having a more well mannered convo, but If you look, you could see what happened.
Nem, In the original thread, you started swearing, and when some politely opposed, you flipped and became agressive.
The only reason this is happening is due to you starting the vicious cycle.
And no, that post wasn't polite. Isn't being polite having no insults? You're still insulting that person. You didn't even try to have a normal counterargument.
And really, post those stupid links don't help you argument. It makes you more of a immature idiot. And I've seen stuff like this.
If you don't want this to contine, stop being spiteful and aggressive and have a mature convo.
I'm willing to try.
Dunno why you're still trying to reason with him, a potato would be far more easier to reason with than good ol' Nemezis. Just ignore him, let him stay in his deluded ramblings, he's already made it clear that he won't stand for our "trolling'.
Lets derail this thread into something worthwhile.
What is your favorite and least favorite thing about the new sword and shield?
My favorite:
The shade of blue, that deep, rich, pretty blue. It will match a blue personal color bluetifully (sorry for the terrible pun). And, more importantly, its a blue the likes of which no other shield currently has! It makes for a phenomenal new haven costume option. And the sword, just a leviathon, is the best reskin yet of the leviathan!!!
--does anyone else find it suspect that we now have two reskinned leviathon and no reskinned anything else, lol?!? C'mon OOO, step your game up. Also, for goodness sake already, lets us have the option of skinning these new weapons over our old. If someone has a UV on their 5* levi, they should be able to combine the levi and the honor guard. It would destroy the levi and now their honor guard would have that UV. okay, thats a personal rant.
So yaeh, i think they both look right awesome. Wish i had one of each level of shield, for costumes again, lol.
My Least Favorite:
Don't really have one. Some will complain that they are just the aegis and levi, but i merely accept this as an "it is what it is" situation. They both look awesome, better than their counterparts. Other than that, if i had to peg down a least favorite, it'd be that i don't have the 5* versions. But again, in the grand scheme of things it hardly matters any. I'd love to have them for completionist's sake, but meh, practically speaking, i don't need them. I have far better armors and weapons, with better stats and max UVs, that i'll never bother to start, let alone finish, heating up. Things that would surely get time and attention before these did.
So what about you guys?
What is your favorite and least favorite things about these?
The blatant dodge of the argument warrants a complete derailment.
I think they go amazingly with the Heavenly Armour. Am fairly convinced that was (one of) the reason(s) why the Guardian Pack managed to go on sale the very same weekend the reskins were released. Too coincidental for my blood.
Not a complaint though; I think it looks great with it.
Mind you, I still prefer my CiV over the Levi, but the Shield; mmmm~
Only wish I had more excuse to use it...when I'm swording, is hard to pass up BTS' bonus for a fashion shield though, when I'm rolling Vog and need the damage~
While I was looking on your "ginger" post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sRB1ZHnZVw
So funny when little people suddenly change their attitude.
Lol.
And you're being nice overall? And what does this have to do with Gingers? In your first thread you've been swearing, and then Iron corrects you, then you blow it out of porportions.
Least I'm trying to be a nicer person unlike you, who is overeacting. I'm being sincire, and you don't bother. See, this contradicts you previous agument. You don't fight fire with fire.
How funny how babies try to act smart.
And really, links to explain. Whoopie. You're not making yourself any better. And it really doesn't do anything. Am I offended? Am I pissed? Am I dragging a old arguement to a new thread?
If you want to do a link war fine. Here is my reaction about you everytime I see you post about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi0iu0VBUjM
And it's almost funny. Some guy makes a thread, you take over and it becomes a clone of your first.

Rocket Snipes. We need those Rocket Snipes.
Look the good side of this.
Because of him "way to be" :p threads like this one get graveyarded because he cant be polite. ^^
mash potatoes and gravy are amazing.
sweet potatoes are even better.
and i LOVE chocolate gravy.
Like a giant Rocket and Wing Propelled Bird?
I would like to add that not a single person has said anything about him spelling honor wrong. sigh.
also...
waffles.
That the OP abandoned thread.
Pff.
Waffles suck. They're just pattened pancakes.
Am I overreacting? No.
The gods had been overreacting when Prometheus had stole their fire. My reaction on your post is adequate.

OMG! Marble Slab makes amazing Ice Cream!! They flatten the ice cream out, then put stuff in the middle of the flat ice cream square DEN DEY WRAP IT ALL UP! They get the sides of the ice cream and ball it all up, so the "toppings" become the "fillings" of a ball of ice cream. Stick it in a tub/cone and you're laughin'.
Strawberry Ice Cream with actual strawberries inside it oh mmm /drool
Strawberry ice cream is good, but I like green tea flavour best.
Then there's durian 'ice cream', which is basically durian kept in a fridge freezer. (Just remember to spray some fridge freshener around after you've eaten the stuff, it stinks otherwise.)

Nosrsly, get real.

KEEL ME NAO...
"I don't usually quote, but when I do, I wear Spanish hats."
You saying those hats are French? I am sorry, is Montoya French? I would like to let you know Fencing came from Spain because a Spaniard used it best. It is like how Columbus stole Erikson's glory because he is well-dressed and English. What better way to slay the man who killed your father, or the man who is your father who pretended to kill your father than to PIERCE HIS AORTA (biggest artery that immediately leaves the heart for you jocks)?!

It's GREAT!
"The gods had been overreacting when Prometheus had stole their fire. My reaction on your post is adequate."
As long as he doesn't stop making a bigger idiot of himself, I will begin telling this story via Memes and reaction pics.
I will start with the whole reason we have a raging baka: A fundamentally wrong argument that never supported itself or was supported by anyone else in the beginning.
@Brady: You have never had green tea ice cream, your argument is invalid.
Also, tea is not the best beverage. Ginger beer is far superior, you can do cool tricks with it!
@Psycho: You've never had durian 'ice cream'?! Heresy.
Also,
What's the worst beverage?
"@Psycho: You've never had durian 'ice cream'?! Heresy."
I'd say I'm allergic to Durian, but that'd be a lie. I absolutely cannot consume it. My mum insisted I try it once after I commented on the smell. Choked. Bad. Tried to wash out my mouth. Didn't work.
Same goes for Coriander :/
Some asian I am T^T
"What's the worst beverage?"
Sarsaparilla? Tried a can type, I started wondering why people even made it.
@Psycho: It's like eating vanilla-flavoured garlic, except that it doesn't taste of garlic after you eat it.
I bet you hate chilli and salt flavoured chocolate, too. ಠ_ಠ
"I bet you hate chilli and salt flavoured chocolate, too. ಠ_ಠ"
That exists?
Sounds nice. I love salt.
because i try to eat super healthy i don't ever get ice cream :(
But i make do with plain greek yogurt, two scoop of chocolate protein powder, and some canned pumpkin. Put it together, blend, and freeze until its almost frozen but still mushy.
Not as good as ice cream, but a nice ab friendly alternative. 100% healthy and non-fattening. :D
-I bet you hate chilli and salt flavoured chocolate, too. ಠ_ಠ
Baulk.
-But i make do with plain greek yogurt, two scoop of chocolate protein powder, and some canned pumpkin.

Honestly, what's wrong with you people? D: All your weird hippy-sounding green tea ice cream and pumpkins and bleugh?! We're omnivores; someone start talking about pig sandwiches or cow and mash!
I'll also accept fruit. Normal fruit; not some funky tropical underwater clam-coconut thing, I mean like strawberries, oranges and nectarines!
Like strawberry ice cream with strawberries! :D
had i a glove, i'd take it off and smack you about the cheek with it in open challenge!!!
I eat more meat than the lot of you combined. My meals commonly consist of over a pound of chicken, tilapia, salmon, ground beef, pork, or steak at a time (protein). This combined with a side of carbs (potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, fruit, other) and a healthy heaping of vegetables (most commonly green beens or mixed, but also may include onion, lettuce, cabbage, mushrooms, tomatoes, other, depending on what sort of meat i am eating.) [sometimes the carbs are replaced with healthy fats, such as almonds or avocados.]
I was merely referring to a yogurt+protein powder+fruit/pumpkin ice-cream alternative.
Some of us prefer a healthy, nutritious, fit, activity filled lifestyle. I've no interest in being overweight, diabetic, slovenly, or weak. A healthy body and a healthy mind are the two of the foundations to happiness.

SK should foster a greater sense of rarity. They should create things that are obtained through pure luck, hard work, sheer crowns, time investments, all.
Instead they continually make things less and less rare or unique.
*Rare accessories? They profited as they could through featured auction house, then, flooded the market with divine/volcanic wings, halo's, aura's to the point that 4 months later they are still basically worthless (thanks guardian pack).
*First Gen Rose Regalia? They put them back up on featured auctions. (Though they seemed to see the error of their ways and haven't done it again). Same with Sonic Gear. Same with arcane halo. Same with shadow dragon wings, sprinkle aura, shadow cat tails, etc.... Basically all promo items and event items save for groundbreaker.
*Quicksilver helm/armor....boss token rewards.
*Halloween Masks? They came back next year.
*Monster Pockets? They came back next year.
*Unique Variants? um...not very freaking unique anymore, are they? Thanks UV rolling station.
The list could go on.
Every rare and unique thing on the game seems to get cannibalized for profits. The only things that haven't, off the top of my head, are the groundbreaker gear and darkfang shields. (and rare bombheads and first gen rose--though each of them have taken a trip through the Featured AH). And the honor gear....but its been out for a few days.
Which leads many of us to the mentality "if nothing is rare and unique than nothing should be rare and unique." While i'd love for OOO to keep things "sacred," since they haven't, it feel like they shouldn't. [actually i feel like they should have, but they didn't]. The idea that everything is fair game is a precedent that they've already established, for better or worse. Those who had rare things see it as worse. Those who never had those things see it as better.
Ultimately, i feel like exclusivity adds character to the game. While it means others will have some things you'll never get, it also means you have the potential to get some things others will never have. Its the uniqueness and quirks of the game that we'll all remember years after we stop playing.
