It wouldn't change the fact that if freedom is capped, you don't get on it.

Why? Because how is a program going to *choose from the people who are already there playing*, which of them to remove?

What if it's someone on a task force just about to finish their last mission?

What if it's someone attending a meeting of their supergroup and getting important information?

What if it's someone who just won 1 million inf in a costume contest and was going to get their prize?

In other words: paying more might get you the nice seat in front and sippy water in a nice glass, but it still makes you look like a complete jerk to the rest of the passengers on the plane.

Check in the bug or tech area, because it might be something known. It might be your computer, if it happens on multiple *accounts* which share your *hard drive*. But definitely check the tech.

Hehehe. I was wondering. But then, this is a Badge event we're talking about. A sea of orange names is like to be the least of the problems

It's a strange kind of pride, I think... I mean, I have toons on Freedom. I started there with my friends who had been in Beta. But they left the game and I'd created a couple on Protector because another customer or two wanted to start a supergroup on a non-crowded server. Still there, though at least one of those (the one who suggested Protector, sadly) has died. I keep his toon in my sg just because it's a sad reminder of real life.

heheheh.

Well, now at least you have to OWN an account. Time was you could do it with trial accounts, but noooo not any more.

>_> that didn't stop me from making a trial account, starting to pad, and realizing that I couldn't possibly part with some of the toons on it, buying a full version, and then having to let it lapse again lol.

Yup, they will have access to the whole game. Last year they did this, after NC took over the company.

Hehehe. Yeah Pinnacle has good peeps, but Protector does some great events and tfs on a regular basis. heck we have "task force tuesdays" which may or may not occur on said day, with numerous signups and such. Otherwise, we tend to solo. A lot.

*snerk* copypasta. Does that come with awesome sauce?

They nerfed the nerf the MM thread!

But if you have to keep logging in, what's the point?


.... it's still Freedom you're logging on to...

They nerfed Marky Mark - FINALLY.

You can only use one box code per account - that is to say, any different box can be applied only once to a single account.

(the exception is "game cards" and "time cards".)

>_> make a new account and pad your supergroups with em

The client for the entire game is downloaded for every version, the only difference anyone would ever see is in the perks that each different TYPE of account get. COH and COV are one now, GVE gives the vip transporter to the tiki room in pocket D and the justice/sinister costume bits, while others give other perks. But the game itself is playable at the same level for every single active account no matter which code is used.

Well, yeah but the forums are monitored, so... yeah I think given the enthusiasm and effort inolved, definitely an 8.

Zing.

Best Suggestion Ever. I highly recommend this idea be implemented right now!

Seriously, OP.

Do you just have one slot on your game? I mean, is that what the issue is? Is there just one solitary chance for you to play this game? Ever?

Because funny, on MY login screen I have 36 slots *on every one of the eleven servers*, and I've used up to 15 of those on *every single one* myself.

Will I play every single character I make? Nope, but sometimes I like to just wander around the lowbie zones and *have fun*. Or join someone else's sg so that they can make more prestige if they're starting out, knowing I won't be back and I tell them so. I've even inherited several disused sg's that way.

Your logic is absolutely flawed.

You can - and should - have characters everywhere. Each of the servers is like a different restaurant. You want spicy? Virtue. You want a great wine with your meal? Pinnacle. You want your food RIGHT FREAKING NOW? Well, Freedom is great for that, unless it's lunch rush. Why not try a salad at Infinity, or some home cookin' at Protector?

But your criticism of the "lack" in the game is completely unfounded, so the only thing I can see by your utter inability to understand what we actually HAVE in the game is that you have not played it, OR come to the forums.

Your blog link has also not been updated for 3 years.

Get over the Cathedral of Pain. It ain't gonna happen. It was broken, so badly that it couldn't be fixed. Same thing with the City Vault. It was a great idea, that simply *could not be made well enough to be used*.

(level cap)

Why do you want a higher level cap? That's completely beaten into the ground dead - and you'd know that if you'd been in the forums and "in" the industry in general. SG base content is IN THE GAME. Debt in PVP? It's an issue that has been changed even as recently as 2 months ago. Come on, guy.

You need to pay more attention to the actual progress of the game, if you're going to list demands which have either been already made - and made well - in the game, or have been projected to be put in shortly, or most importanly, been *abandoned as not feasable*.

Just because you think them up, doesn't make them good for the game.

You have definitely not been here for 5 years, dude. I find it extremely hard to believe that someone who HAS been playing, has not SEEN THE THINGS YOU ASK FOR in the game - and then questions why we as players aren't demanding more. They're IN the game. ALREADY. Trying to figure your agenda?

My discounting of your demands is based on firm reality - I know from not just having plenty of friends (some working at Blizzard, some here in this game) in the actual industry, and by having paid attention when the developers of THIS GAME say "this is how it's done, we do it like that" - and I know better than you obviously, that when YOU say "it's easy" you're flat out wrong.

I already have that "blind devotion" badge - but it also came with the "free to critique the things that aren't done well" badge, as well as the "grounded in reality" badge for asking for things which *can be done in this game's engine*.

Your demonstrative lack of understanding of how this game is made shows me you're not just making stuff up, but you're actively trying to make it look like you're more "important" than you are.

Your criticism would come far better recieved if you actually appeared to have played the same game as the rest of us for these 5 years. Because the rest of us seem to actually KNOW what we've got, what we've asked for, what we're getting in the future, and why we haven't gotten the things we don't have.

Let's just hope that we never have to deal with the kinds of people who would use not only the AE to jet themselves to 50, but then *reroll themselves a new level 50 without ever having played that AT!*

GOD no. Just... NO.

And likely: about 3-5 weeks. This subject comes up so much it's ridiculous to have it again so soon before a major release which gives us something else that's pretty stunningly different than what we've had already. We do NOT need to have people who don't know their toon's powers, playing level 50s. They're already a pain in the [censored], let's keep them to a minimum.

What I've never quite understood is why, when the server's listed at red and you KNOW it'll be laggy as hell and difficult to maintain a connection, would people WANT to get in it?

It's like hitting a crowd in a train station. But you HAVE TO BE THERE! MUST be there! You can't POSSIBLY go 2 blocks down the road and go to a less crowded one, or wait half an hour for the traffic to die down...

But *all of the things you've listed are coming at some point in the future*.

You implied that there IS a "large" art team, by your use of those very words. Maybe with a "large" art team something as "simple" as changing graphics or adding them to a game IS a few hour task.

There are three people.

Do YOU consider that to be a "large" art team? Because I don't.

By your post history, you seem to have skipped large portions of the game's existence. I think you've really missed the parts where *we got stuff you asked for* and *the dev team was increased from a skeleton crew to a workable business*. We are JUST NOW benefitting from that bigger crew.

So stop acting like you think you know how THIS company works - whatever business you are in (gamestop doesn't count as "in the industry" remember) it's not a gig where you can simply drop anything into the game and not have it cause issues. you pretty clearly DON'T understand why, even if a piece of art IS made in a couple hours, it cannot be put into a game "just like that". It's pretty much been stated clearly in this game and many others, that the process is NOT just "wave a wand". Obviously, you don't know that.

So once more: what are things that we haven't ALREADY GOT GOING in the game, that you 'want', new and fresh? They ARE working on redesigning zones. That was War Witch's main job for ages. Now that she's got other people working with her, there will be such things.

There will also be completely new zones and such, coming in the Going Rogue expansion. What part of that isn't "progress in the game" that we should - actually - expect?

For probably the same reasons.

*waves fist* I want real colors... sooon I know. Sooooon.

Protector is a great little server, be warned though that we're often known as the largest solo-pop server, even though we have great group activities. It's been pretty busy last couple weeks though, so give us a try

Yes please, on the few times I try respecing a character I almost always fail to get something in the right place at the right time. The information HAS to be stored somehow, so ... I'd like that.

And my POINT, along with the others in the thread if you'd bother to turn your mind on while looking at the pretty letters, is that there IS more coming.

It does not happen all at once. You should know this, if you do work in the industry. Everything that's come out has done so with a minimum of bugs - and those which have been too buggy to put in, have *not been released*.

Quality over quantity, I think is the issue you don't seem to be grasping.

What in the world makes you think they're "not" going to be producing anything new that we've asked about? I am sorry but power customization and colorization are things which are ground breaking for this game engine and YOU KNOW IT. Or maybe you don't, since it seems you haven't been paying attention to the game's progress since oh, 3 weeks ago...
