Zombie Man

You are the master of clarity and wisdom. Clearly the smartest person alive.

With the /windowscale command and a widescreen monitor... I'll let you know when I hit 50 trays.

I really don't want you on my side of the argument. Can you please take the other? Thanks.

The marketing in this case is:

We're giving away lots of stuff for free... if you go through our gruesome physical trials and only if you're 35 or older.

Or, you can just buy it from us right now... BUT NOT ALL OF IT. We still want to give some stuff away from free... if you go through our gruesome physical trial... and only if you're 35 or older.

So, which businesses use this model?

But there's no *need* to *compromise*. We aren't enemies. They're a business wanting to make money. We're players wanting to throw money at them for a perk to make available customizable options at level 1 for all toons. The free version is still in game. The pay-for version is for those willing to pay. Where is there a need to compromise over this?

So many other exclusive or locked items are available for the right price now. Holding something back is just nonsensical. Even among those who don't mind that something is being held back; they're not demanding that it be held back. I presume, like you, Lothic, don't mind if it wasn't held back.

Let's take "give the players what they want*" and apply it to the Market.


*within reason

What ever happened to "give the players what they want"?

Who's been begging you "lock up customizations to late-in-the-game tasks so those tasks can feel *exclusive*!"?

"Exclusivity" is now a game mechanic goal? Then what happened to exclusivity of capes at 20 and auras at 30 when there are now two ways to get around that? Not to mention how someone can now buy their way into the fullness of all the Vet Rewards within a few month's time. So much for exclusivity.

Now mind you, I'm not arguing for exclusivity. I'm just pointing out how 'exclusivity' as a rationale for doing something is pure nonsense when exclusivity in so many other areas are going by the wayside.

And let's also discuss why you wait to now to address this instead of the first week of VIP Beta Server when the same points were brought up. Does Production read player feedback? Is Customer Service bringing to you our concerns when they get posted in Beta? And if they are, do you ignore it until it goes Live when the chances of responding to the players' concerns becomes too problematic?

My esteem of Production and how they handle the Market is plummeting as each week goes by. I'm also very unimpressed with the rationales you give as if that simply ends the discussion instead of showing genuine interest or concern that you may have misread what players want and made a mistake.

The use of micro-transactions is a huge part of your business model. And I am very unsatisfied with how you've implemented it. And this is from someone who already bought $300 worth of points between two accounts.

Production needs to step up and talk to the playerbase instead of implementing things from a meeting by fiat. You did a major player survey for Going Rogue. You did a focus group for the general workings of FREEDOM. You need to do something for the specifics of the Market to make up for all the shortcomings of how you're implementing micro-transactions in such a haphazard way with such a demonstrable misunderstanding of marketing.

While I certainly don't keep three Rock powers in my trays, whatever is left over from powers is rapidly filled with macros.

We had this argument before when we only had 3 trays and those against asking for more made the point: "Well **I** don't need more than 3 so, I'm against it." Which is the ultimate selfish argument. If they had their way, we'd still only have access to 3 trays.

If a number of people can find use for more than 9 trays, what is it to those who can't to argue against it?

Incidentally, if it were up to Positron, we'd only have 4 trays, but pohsyb snuck in the full 9 that we have now, flummoxing Positron, who is even more flummoxed by how popular that was.

Yes, except for the Cimeroran custom weapons inexplicably.

I would contend you're not playing the game enough...

Yes. Yes it is.

I may laugh to say the truth which vetoes?

Which would be a 'no'.

Or you meant to say something to the effect:

I'm smiling to say the truth which is forbidden.

Which would be a 'yes.'


So, maybe.

It (/changetitle) was instituted only about 3 issues ago without any patchnotes. It was found in the list of commands you get with /cmdlist.

Well that's good. It allows for all the non-VIPs on the VIP-only server to try out AE!

What is the name of her backpack? In fact, what's the name of her outfit?

Statesman had to die. Otherwise your hero would always be a second string hero to him. And your villain would be a perpetual loser.

You're the main character of the story. You become the iconic hero everyone looks up to. You become the new Statesman.

Well, Sister Psyche's costume has had several promotional forms, with the latest having the panels missing. And maybe Penny has unlocked a second costume slot.

There's a firework change costume emote which is unlocked with Incarnate Rewards: CCFireworks
