We certainly care.

There's a lot of questions surrounding the lack of a French Community Rep which I aim to answer soon. Your questions and concerns aren't unseen, I'm simply swamped at the moment.

This was due to feedback we received from you guys.

As to the limited time; I hear you, I understand you, however limited time isn't something new for us and we don't have any plans on discontinuing this practice. It's perfectly understandable to be disappointed by this and I'll certainly talk to Marketing/Business about our current strategy (please stop blaming production as this isn't their decision).

Anything that's time limited will return, much like any items tied to seasonal in game events. You will, eventually, have another opportunity to pick these items up.

Forwarded this along.

Speaking from an outside (non designer) looking in, I often times hear designers bemoaning the lack of documentation when working on older content, and this is not isolated to CoH/Paragon.

My impression is that in the early days of MMO development, it was fairly Wild West. Designers were producing content and systems, and throwing things against the "wall" to see what stuck. They were creative and innovative, but because they didn't have an extreme amount of software development background, they didn't understand the value of documentation.

In more recent years, this philosophy and practice has certainly changed and most studios have a very rigorous documentation policy and process, but that doesn't change the fact that often times we're working with systems that require significant amounts of time to reverse engineer.

I can tell you based on rather extensive interaction between myself and Euros, you guys certainly seem to get much more time off than we do. Americans, in general, tend to work 45-50 hours/week, more weekends and through more holidays than most Euros I've had the pleasure of working with/being friends with.

I'm not including myself in that perception, because I believe those working in gaming work obscene hours by any standard .

I believe Asian cultures put us to shame though .

Nope, not that, just asking folks not to *campaign* for a specific option.

Thanks and keep the votes coming!

Because we have things like schedules and milestones.

We'll be promoting this via Facebook, Twitter, etc, etc where we reach a much broader audience. I'll look into the possibility of a GMOTD before the weekend.

Last year at the very first Freedom Player Summit, we introduced the design a costume set workshop. After our initial pass, and much discussion between the art team and the Community, we've now narrowed down the selections. Now it's back to the Community to help us decide on the final product!

Between now and Thursday, February 9th 2012, you can submit your vote for which pieces we should include in the finished version.

Of course, should anything happen that would change the outcome of the final selection, we'll communicate this to you.

So get out the vote and help us decide our very first Community co-created costume set!
