Quote:There's a problem with that...concept art is just that...something designed to communicate a concept or an idea. The finished product very rarely has a strong resemblance to the concept art.Originally Posted by Winterminal
I wouldn't mind seeing more concept art to start the buzz going early in the process, and of course that would provide an opportunity to get early feedback from the community...
Concept art is usually best kept as something to show after the fact, as kinda a "Oh that's cool!" thing and to appreciate the amazing artistic talent of our art team. The most helpful feedback comes on the implemented and executed product. -
The images that players are basing their judgments on are pictures of a screen from SDCC. This is both good and bad:
- It's good because it's allowed us to get some unsolicited feedback upon which to act, and we are acting on it.
- It's bad because we were unable to present this revamp on our own terms using appropriate screenshots and in game images.

Hi there Machine,
Could you please provide the server and character you're logging into when this is occurring?
Thanks! -

That new patch broke the Tailor. Now not only can you not zoom in on the lower half of your character (it just zooms to your top half), you can no longer zoom in to your face or torso when browsing through the options!

Avatea just pointed that out to me.
Me: "Hey, are we going to put the patch note up for today?"
Avatea: "It's already up..."
Me: "I knew that..." (stumbles off to find caffeine) -
Basically that big "chunk-o-patch" was to implement code changes to optimize map performance.
Something, something, something, coder, coder, coder, magic, *waving of hands*, engineering speak.
We'll get a note up regarding it soon.

Looks like a lot of fun

Thanks for putting this Community event together

There's some great suggestions in this thread. I'll be sure to bring them to El Topo's attention.

I fixed my link for you JB.

This is feedback we've received in the closed beta and has been duly noted. It's most likely not in the scope of i21 (I say most likely because the art team has been working miracles lately...so who knows...) but we are aware of it.Quote:-Atlas Statue. With the revamp of Atlas park, I was hoping they would update the Atlas statue to be 'hollow' like it was "originally".
Pricing is something we're going to be watching very closely and making adjustments as appropriate. We want to be sure we're continuing to deliver on our goal of providing more value than ever for the VIP subscription.Quote:-Pricing options on some store things seem to be a bit steep for VIPs. $10 isn't fair for a power set when you got four of them in Going Rogue, plus a ton of content, new zones, costumes, emotes and enemies. Add that up and look at what we paid for it new. It just doesn't work out to me.
This is noted, and I can understand the sentiment.Quote:-Additionally, giving all VIPs Going Rogue for free doesn't feel fair to those of us who paid for it still fairly recently...
I'll let Posi or Black Scorpion speak to this more, but my understanding is that the addition of these powers was to give something cool for those who are not interested in the current top tier Travel Pool abilities. While I can understand why you may consider some of them a novelty (Zone Teleport, Afterburner) I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how useful (and concurrently widely used) some of them will be (Burnout and the Leap Attack in the SuperJump pool).Quote:-The new powers in the travel pool are neat and all, but a lot of them are novelties and, AFAIK, the changes to the pool restrictions don't free up any power picks to allow me to take them so sadly I probably never will.
Quote:-The first thing in the first panel of the intro comic that people see is the MOON. Why do we still have no Moon Zone?... 
I would also like to point out that, much like we pointed out with Free Players, the riding of Devs is not a feature included in the launch of Freedom later this year.
Also Johnny, I would like to thank you for the gift basket you sent to the studio.
All joking aside, we continue to be amazed and humbled by the amount of support that our Community continues to show for Issue 21 and Freedom. We're definitely not taking this as an opportunity to sit on our laurels and gloat, but rather as reassurance that our renewed efforts at communication and discussion with our players is the absolute right thing to do.

Zwillinger,
Of course it will happen again in the future. Otherwise, what else will we have to pick on??
I have a good idea for you to seriously consider.
Have your mock up(s) kind of 'preapproved' by marketing.

Thanks for the heads up on this.
We've passed it along to the appropriate folks. -

*seriousface*
It does look like someone missed some details when modifying the original art for the purposes of this mailer. We've notified the appropriate people and will make every effort to ensure this doesn't happen in the future.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention all, much appreciated.

Statesman is just broadening his horizons. Archery is a fine past time, enjoyed by many.
What? It could happen... -

Hey look at that! They call us a 'Huge' mmo right on the cover.
Stay classy. -
Very interesting...
Kudos on all of the work putting this information together

Thanks again for the write up VK!
FYI folks, my apologies for being relatively radio silent the last 5 days or so. I've been heads down in preparation for SDCC and still have a lot of things to accomplish.
Fingers crossed, but I should be coming to you all live from SDCC next Thursday and Friday (probably a test run on Wed to make sure everything is sanity safe). That's live, from the booth! (yaaaaaaay). And maybe, just maybe, I can get something up and running to be live from the Meet and Greet

Thanks!

Maybe it's like Brigadoon... if the mist is right, you can find your way there. If you don't blunder into a sonic wall first.

What about Forbin's suggestion of a Premium server?.

This may be the most interesting red name post I've seen on these boards.
Never been to D on Virtue, but I've heard the stories. If it's as bad as some people say, I find it interesting that a Red name refers to it. And that they don't seem to mind it..
