Quote:I also tested it extensively, and have to agree with GBE has said. It really did walk the line.Originally Posted by Goliath Bird Eater
I tested it extensively. I'm not going to comment on any potential changes until I can sit down and play with them. I will say that it wouldn't surprise me if the set were taken down a notch or two (I refuse to use the word "nerf" because that's a very binary term with very negative connotations attached to it), as it did walk the line between being balanced and being overpowered. On it's own, the set is damn good. Combined with certain other sets, there is absolutely the possibility of being too damn good.
Oh, and the AoE radius on Spinning Strike is low because it's a melee targeted AoE power. You perform a spinning roundhouse kick and go immediately into a spinning backfist; range isn't going to be much different than your standard melee attack. -

So enlighten me oh warriors of the keyboard - how are we supposed to make known to the creators and developers of this game that we are unhappy with too much downtime other than posting in the Forums they provide?
Game cancellation surveys?
Or is it better to vent and seek commiseration with your fellows? -

Soo, just like every other server then?
I think I am going to stick with Virtue. Better the devil you know, than the one you don't. -
It is getting old. I was going to log in and buy more points, and the servers were down...
Yeah, annoying. I also hope this is not going to become a daily thing. -
Quote:I like calling it StJ. That way it also looks like Saint Justice, which sounds very superoheroish.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Are we seriously going to keep calling this StJ so it's harder to type? Are we worried about that SJ might be confusing with Super Jump? Because that didn't stop the Architect being called MA and being horribly confusing with Martial Arts.
Or can we instead just cry for justice? -
I wanted to pop back in and add to this topic. I really want to thank Posi for posting here. While I did not particularly like what he said, I am still grateful that he cared enough to say anything. I also think we are near spoiled because of how great our Dev team is. Any other game I have ever played would have just not commented, and expected the players to suck it up. So, Thanks Posi. It means more than you know to a lot of us.
I still want the rest of the CoT costume items, and I am still willing to pay for them. -
Pre-payed visa, or any other card type is the way to go.

Quote:Or they are still in the process of porting them over.Originally Posted by Mephistroth
Yeah, I haven't seen any of the requested parts on female models either. It's possible we're not getting them because porting them over to the female (and possibly huge) model would take more development time.

Quote:I am also pretty sure this will be the case. Which as I said before is fine as long as I get them.Originally Posted by Lazarillo
Of course they do, which is why, rather than put all the pieces people wanted in this pack, marketing will be announce the rest of the pieces, available in an additional purchaseable pack "because you demanded it!" in another coupla weeks, thus assuring people pay twice. It's genius!
-
If it requires another pack to get the rest of the parts we want, I can live with that. To me that is better than not getting the parts at all.

There's no reason why men shouldn't have clock belts; there's no reason why females shouldn't have the baron boots.

Quote:Not just there. I am in NC, and after a stroll through Wal-mart I told my wife that before long we would be wearing Fig leaves again. It is just a social trend I guess.Originally Posted by PlanetStar
Although, I must consider what I see in real life. I can only speak for the Orlando area, where I live, but young women dress provocatively as many characters I see ingame.

Quote:But females get the awesome clock belt, so I have no pity for them.Originally Posted by Smersh
My wife tends to clothe her female characters in skimpier clothing than I do, and that's okay.
The issue is more the options that are given to female characters. Reference the Magic Pack, and the reasons why females aren't allowed to have awesome steampunk jackets.
My wife likes to make very conservative character costumes. -
I would say they are represented as petite because that is how they are mostly represented in comics. The game only followed the comic book example. There are female characters in comics who are not petite, but they are the exception, and not the norm. The game does allow for that representation for female characters.
That is one of the great things about this game, the costume creator allows for almost any representation of any character.
Now, as long as you have guys making female characters, you are going to see more skimpy costumes. I personally do not play female characters, but I do know guys who only play female characters because they find them more pleasing to the eye.
I have a wife, and three daughters. I have enough women in my life without adding another in an MMO.
I also have a 14yo son, and there have been times in this game where I almost felt the need to cover his eyes. I am betting in most cases costumes like that are designed by male players. I however assume everyone on the internet is male, not matter what they say.
-
I think this may be a politically touchy topic.
-
A lot of what Sam just posted is the reason that it appears the Devs keep the best costume items for their NPCs. It sucks.
I really do expect a second pack that offers the more advanced parts, and I am fine with that, as long as I don't have to wait till next year for it. -
Quote:Personally, I think if you list yourself as a helper it should open you up to tells from anyone.Originally Posted by SinergyX_EU
Yeeey...
Then i went ingame and i went BOOO!!!
Now i understand you have to limit new and vet players, but locking out /whispers and majority of trade, while letting them have acces to /help channel.. this aint working.
Help was being spamming by retarted WoW kiddies, rofl n00b people and a huge discussion about AE versus 'normal gaming', while nearly every question from new/returning players was ignored.
Serious there need to be some moderation on these channels, the 'helper' tag is worth _nothing_. People just randomly reply to questions, useless trolllike replies, other people just spam away or tell them to l2p the game.
Helper title should be earned, but should also be very known among new players, so they can rely on the answers, telling people to go 'hunt fake nem in PI' if they ask where to go at 21, is just sad.
I probably gonna disable help on most of my toons, this aint what i wanted to see happening to 1 of the best communities out their, hell even Barren chat is more civilized. -

Bleah. The "rip off" part is the part where none of the good parts were included.

The more I think about this, the more I expect there to be a second and perhaps third CoT costume pack with the remaining costume items. Perhaps a CoT Lt pack, then a CoT boss pack. This would also given them more items to aid with the whole add something new ever week statement.

There were a few people in that video that I know personally and are friends on Facebook. The video also reminded me of why I don't go to D-Con.

Quote:I can live with this. I would buy them as soon as they hit. Because of the amount of items in the set, I could even see that being reasonable. However, based on Posi's post I am not expecting a second CoT set. This is another spot where I would LOVE to be wrong.Originally Posted by Xilibrius
if they release the other pieces in other cot packs i'll understand becuase it is alot of items but don't do it half way and give us a handful of pieces and call it done.
-
I did purchase it, and there are several items I will get use out of. I am still not as happy as I could be though. This could have been an out of the park hit with one or two more items in it. As I said, I can understand the long skirt not being it, but the other items like the hat, cool belt, and the strapped on gloves not being in there is just frustrating.
Honestly if they do a CoT pack 2, I will still purchase it. I do think I will get my monies worth out of it, but...well it still feels like the really good stuff was removed for no good reason. -
Also, no large strapped gloves, and no long skirts. You may want to migrate the discussion already being had to here.

Quote:Thanks for the comments on the costume.Originally Posted by CactusBrawler
Hopefully if Freedom makes them enough money they can do both, have team one reworking stuff, team two making new stuff.
Would even make for good on the job training, you're not allowed to make new stuff till you've proven your merit reworking the old stuff.
I agree with this, the reworks are something they could make some poor intern do. If it passes inspection, stick it in the game, if it fails move on.
Again with the strapped gloves though, they are no bigger than the Ascension gloves, yet those are in the game.
The problem here is that this is a set that people were really excited about, and it seems to have been excessively trimmed before it was given to us. -
Quote:I know I would pay for a way to get rid of the glow on hasten, or different FX for it.Originally Posted by Lightslinger
This could be an easy moneymaker for the devs. Call it Power Customization 2.0, it unlocks Epic and Power Pool customization and costs 800-1200 points. People would crash the store trying to buy it so fast.
