I agree that there are certain things that definitely need review (e.g., the price of certain individual IOs were set higher because they cost more in the AH is not an appropriate way to set prices... if there is such a high demand, that is the reason to set a *lower* price to ease the demand).

However, a correction on the exchange:

200 Reward Merits (for a Special IO) = 2 Alignment Merits = 100 Reward Merits + 40 Million INF

They can ask about a feature they aren't familiar with but is already in the game. They can ask about where to get more help. They can ask *why* something is the way it is. They can ask some stuff about the Studio.

I learned long ago that FFs are Q&A for newbies and is not a source of new information. And thus, stopped attending long ago.

The better questions are:

Why do people ask about features not in the game as a not so secret way to lobby for such features when the Dev is only a community moderator and thus can only say, "suggestion noted."

Why do people ask about upcoming features whose details (release date, stats, etc...) haven't been announced when the Dev can't talk about unannounced release dates or features?

That's a compromise from the previous rubric of needing 7 teammates.

D'oh!

You're right.

Then Marauder only has AV class -Jump resistance.

Problem is there aren't too many powers with -Jump to throw at him.

Some Soldier with Surveillance should check it out (-Jump protection even shows up under Combat Attributes).

Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me: Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?


Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

Yeah, did not thinketh so.

The M.A.G.I. vault.

Well that's not true.

Statesman can be kidnapped (when he was in that old arc) and still be on the boat giving a TF.

We also mostly had to assume the world we experienced at lower levels happened chronologically before the world we experienced at higher levels.

At level 20, it's "Lost?? What are these folks?" At later levels, we learn the secret.

You get more now than you did before. There are still 3 free issues. There still are free power sets (power sets never came out at the rapid pace they are now). You get the other perks your mentioned, such as 400 Points a month which will buy you at least 3 more power sets a year at no extra cost. You get the Reward Tokens and VIP Customer Service and stackable server transfer once a month and access to the Beta Server.

You get more now than you did before. Period.

The Studio is also churning out more new stuff than they ever did before and so if you want *everything*, then you pay more. Or, pay exactly the same before and enjoy getting more than what you did before.

There can be only one possible explanation, then: The Devs NERFED THE PAST!!!

And you would set the variable as such:

IF Mcdonalds = delicious; THEN durakken = self.medicated

Didn't come out until 'later'? There was a *huge* time gap between ED and IOs: 19 months! I don't remember Jack saying, "Hey, it's only 19 months away that we'll put in a system that will give back a good chunk of the 50% of your main enhancements we're taking away!" (And even that would have been a step up for Mr. Foot-in-mouth.)

As necessary as ED was, it was horribly, horribly, horribly, horribly implemented.

If the Devs knew IOs and their bonuses were coming, they could have made that more clear. And if they knew the implementation was not imminent, they could have ameliorated the pain by implementing a less severe form of ED with promise of full implementation once IOs were introduced.

I'm not saying there weren't a lot of overreacting Nerdrage and Ragequitting at the time; but, there can hardly be any defense of *how* ED was implemented.

First, WRT hero side being 'hot' -- They lie. Sure, it *could* be hot. But they could also be lying. Because they are engaged in an illegal and immoral venture, don't presume anything they say is the truth. Why would truth telling be their one and only virtue?

Second, run a virus scan on your computer. These sites love to engage in a side business of selling email lists. And so, they'll get your email and all the email contacts stored on your computer not only if you're dumb enough to use their services and give it to them, but if they can infect your computer and simply take it... so much the better.

Third, I'm sure this doesn't apply to you, but I'm mentioning this for all the dear readers out there: Giving an illegal enterprise your credit card number or your game password (so they can level your toon up or transfer INF to you) is a sign that you need to be checked for neurological damage of your brain. They will eventually use your credit card or your game account for their own purposes. There is no honor among thieves.
