Are a bit ubiquitous in the text buffer these days.  If almost everyone has (or soon will have) them, what is even the point?



In any case, please move the stars to the in-game roster.  There is enough going on in the text buffer as it is.  That, and it is a pita to squelch pompous blowhards. 


* No pompous blowhards are pictured in the above image.  Some may or may not be pompous or blowhards, but not both at the same time.  :D

Hitech said the issue with the squelch has been fixed and we will have it in the next update.

The first star is easy to get, so most regular players will have one after a (short) while. But the following stars are more difficult to get and so it will take some time until you really see more two, three or four star players. I still have to see any player with four stars yet.


That doesn't mean I would object to mvoing the stars to the roster... essentially I simply don't care ;)

From the posts I've seen from Hitech once the beta is over all (or most?)  of the achievements will be reset to zero.  The posts also say that many achievements in the beta were designed to be easily achieved for the sake of testing.  Sounds like once the beta is over there won't be near as many stars near as soon.

I've seen at least a couple posts regarding putting the stars in the roster and I tend to agree with that idea but it's not that big a deal either way to me.

Yes I'm too lazy to go find and quote the posts.

You have to accuse people of ramming you when they shoot you down.  Evidence of such rams be damned.

This is true.

I had Tosh PM-ing me for almost an hour because he was so butt-hurt that we collided.
