I'd like the ability to dual weild rapiers. As it stands on test (I can look at the options, I just cant' actually PLAY), you can have a rapier and a main gauche, but not two rapiers. Please let us have two rapiers!

It may be unconventional, but due to the lightness of a rapier compared to other swords of it's size, it's POSSIBLE, especially in a fantasy/comic book setting!

Yes. It's called veteran rewards. The way I understood it, they will no longer be giving costume tokens every time new options are added like they used to.

Hooray for just about everything, EXCEPT...

Oh, dear god, please, not MORE of those execrable cutscenes!!!

Please, please, please, NO MORE CUTSCENES!

The animation is lame, the dialogue is insufferably awful and the interruption is incredibly aggravating... it's like getting stuck watching commercial TV before TiVo!

But the "acting" is... is... oh, lord, it's just the WORST DIALOGUE EVER... "But Bossssssssss... what about usssssss Ssssnakesssss and our dissssabling lissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssps?"

And it all goes downhill from there.

Please, please, PLEASE, give us the option to disable cutscenes!

STOP THE LAMENESS!!!

Yes, maybe a option to disable them, but I personally love the cutscenes, it makes for a more comic book feel. Of course the dialogue is bad, it's meant to be bad. I mean come on, have you not played the Statesman Task FOrce where your characters get put in an inescapable death trap? You think that's SERIOUS when the villain is waxing poetic about his genius in designing this death trap?

First of all, this post is a "quick reply" and is not in response to anything that the person it says I'm replying to may or may not have said.

This is to all those that now or in the future go "OMG THIS SUXX0RS!!! I'm CANCELLING MY ACCOUNT!""

Just leave. Now. Don't tell us you are leaving, don't tell us why you are leaving, we don't care and odds are neither do the developers. Until you actually don't pay them, you are just threatening them trying to get them to do things YOUR way instead of the way they are doing it. It didn't work in Ultima Online, Everquest, Everquest II, World of Warcraft, or any other MMORPGs. Threatening to cancel your account isn't the way to get the developers to listen, it's not the way to get ANYONE to listen to you.

So, do your fellow players a favor, and don't waste our bandwidth having to load up your "OMG IM QUITTING" crap, just quit and don't waste OUR time.

I agree with NerfedAgain, and DollyMistress in the fact that "weapon customization" will again leave certain builds out of all the fun. I do understand that it would take lots and lots of coding to be able to do "power customization", but one big release would satisfy all parties. Not all of us have toons with weapons. We would love to create a blue fireball, have black Granite armor, or even change the powder blue color on the decoys!

Don't get me wrong please! I think the Devs do an awesome job with the game, making this the only mmorg that I have any interest in playing! I just felt that I needed to crawl out from under my rock to voice my opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]

Gotta love how there's always people to crawl out of the woodwork to scream "NOT ENOUGH!" when something new is added. You think they are going to do weapon customizations, then that's it? Power customizations will be next. Might not be issue 12, might not be issue 13, but it will come too.

I'm totally against Purple enhancers...hell, it's hard enough getting the current rare recipes let alone those things...the only good that could come of them is people not wanting the other rares because they wanna get purples.

[/ QUOTE ]

So don't get them if you don't want them. My characters dont' SUFFER because they don't have Numina's Convalescence +Regen. Would I love for every one of my characters to have it slotted in Health? Sure. Doesn't mean I will suffer if I don't.

Awesome! Finallly the ability to finish old missions!

As for the weapon customizations, will we be able to have like animal claws? Particularly I have a villain that is a werewolf (Claws/Regen Stalker) and I'd love for her to have actual claws instead of just black knives mounted on her forearms.

I still think that making it only characters level 6 and under is kinda... pointless. It's really only going to stop people that tried to reserve a name. I mean, I have NO characters under level 6. Every time I've made an alt, I've played them at least long enough to get to level 6, or I've deleted them because I'd decided I didn't like them.

I'm sure it's been said before, but to add my vote, (and in case it hasn't), I'd like to suggest allowing players to choose how much prestige/influence they want to earn instead of the flat "Prestige only" after 33.

EDIT: Also would like to see some size consistency as one person suggested, although I think that more needs to be done across the board for the entire game more than just bases, as it seems that even if we got rid of all the PCs in the game, the average Paragon/Rogue Isles person (women included) would be over six feet tall.

I think the most fun thing about these transfers is that I can now level a new alt on a quiet server then suddenly ambush my friends with it on my home server

My biggest fear is still losing the name of my characters on my home server while I am away exploring other servers. Can we have some sort of reservation function built in?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd say no if I worked at NCSoft (Which I don't). There's enough problem with people making a new character and then never playing that character again, that's a common way to "reserve" a name. Makes me wonder to this day if the name I wanted most for my dark/dark scrapper on infinity is a active villain (I know it's a villain, cause I tried adding him/her to my hero friend list), or a character that hasn't been seen in months or even years. If it's an active player, great. But, if they've never played that character, then why should they keep the name forever?

I Feel if you want to unfairly reserve a name, then there are ways to do it. Cheating IMO.

[[ QUOTE ]
If the villain on your team can't pick up the mission, then it's possible that villain has too many outstanding mission arcs that need to be closed out first.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, the Valentine missions are "red" story arcs. You can have any number of open RED story arcs. In fact, IIRC, most VILLAIN side are RED story arcs too. So, that guy's post about Petrovich and Rutger being open IIRC wouldn't have been a problem anyway. But, they must have recently changed this difference between 'red" and "yellow" story arcs, because remember...

Rule 1. A GM is never wrong.
Rule 2. If a GM is wrong, please see rule #1

Good news, this thread is now linked from the launcher!

Yes, I very much like the "red flag" issue as I try to use them when I can, but sometimes I forget, and if I am full up on yellows and reds, I can't have those blues come in. So, if I see that red "Inspiration" it tells me that they are fulll, so I can go ahead and use some of the yellows and reds NOW.

The only thing that I DONT like is that the game doesn't differentiate between "new" emails and "old" emails, so like one of my characters I'm saving a email someone sent me as a reference, and so I constantly have a RED email tab and am always told when I log in that "You have one email" and I'm like... DUH yes...

I see the whole debate over "Vet rewards are evil" about the same I see the whole "Vet badges are so unfair" topic over at badge-hunter.com Some people are of the idea that if they work really hard to get ALL the badges in the game, there should not be any badges they CANNOT get (tends to be (although not all) the same people that scream bloody murder over Celebrant, Reveler, and 5th Columnist. Even with them bringing back the Holiday badges, those 3, plus now Pursuer/Elusive, will NEVER be available again). I've been playing for 5 months (that's my vet reward time). The argument is that you can get the veteran badges, you will get them. I don't resent the badge-hunters that have been playing longer than me and suddenly have badges to prove it. They earned those badges. I will earn them someday.

[ QUOTE ]

and lastly this is not a bug but a glaring oversight on I8 veteran rewards a system has been created to reward players for the length of time that they have had an active account. Awsome, more power to you. The bigger issue is that inevitably there will come a time when NO ONE will be able to use ALL of the features of the game. As time rolls on inevitably everyone will miss at least one payment period. and there is no option in place for buying missed time. Now I agree 90% of this stuff is nothing more than "cookies" extra costume parts etc.. but the powers add an interesting balance issue. with all the nerfs that have been done in the past and are planned in the future, to counter mind this by adding extra powers to only those who have had their account for x amount of months seems silly, I meen where is the balance in this?

[/ QUOTE ]

The other option being the way another game does it. Say I started my account the DAY of launch. Played for one month. Quit. Come back 3 YEARS later... Wow, look I got 3 month vet reward. 6 month. 9 month. 12 month. 15 month. 18 month. 21 month. 24 month. 28 month. 32 month. 36 month. Only actually had an active account ONE Month, but whoa look I've been playing for 3 whole years!!! Go me!!!

Simple question, can you make the pets talk?

If so the RP possibilites could be endless.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, if they cannot be targeted, then the pet_say command will not work. Think of them like the little panda or kitten you can have on your shoulder... if they can talk... your character is insane.

I had that problem in high school, though not with money, it was a whole bunch of Magic the Gathering cards that were in my backpack. I pretty much figured who did it, and in typical teacher fashion, (using "kitten" as my name for explanation) "Someone took some cards or something out of Kitten's backpack. Anyone want to confess?" Bell rings. "Ok, see you all tomorrow!" Pretty much was told not to bring anything of value to school, blah blah blah, standard teacher "I'm not a cop" crap.

I later found out I was right about who it was when a friend of mine (I had quite a few "spies" in high school, friends people never saw me with IN school) overheard the guy talking about he's sold them for $40.

Well, people tell me CoH DOES have end game content, now it might not have as much as say WoW does, but then that's something they could always do for a future issue. Also, as I said most every MMORPG has said they would NEVER raise the level cap, but eventually did. As the saying goes, "Never say never."

Ok, so assume for a second this bug did NOT occur. How did they plan to test these pets? Suddenly they get activated and then people are like "OMG they are so slow, they can't keep up with me because I have swift" just as the people are now?

[/ QUOTE ]

perhaps with issue 9/10?

[/ QUOTE ]

Considering I doubt issue 9 will be done and ready before the three year mark, or will it? I guess that is May, right?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Issue 10 is a ways out, but it will bring us an update to an old familiar villain group. This group will have their power center altered

[/ QUOTE ]

Right, let's list all the villains that have a power centre.

1) The Council
2) ...
3) Er
4) That's it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ooooh maybe that means that Manticore's statement nearly a year ago will finally come true... He did say that the 5th Column would be back... with a vengence...

[ QUOTE ]
do you known how much stuff they would have to change to up the LVL. they have to add 51-60 badies, change hami and the mitoes and alot of other stuff. beside either I read this in the forums or I heard it from an Sg mate can't rember heard it so long ago but statesman said that he wouldn't raise the LVL any higher than 50.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, but... most every other MMORPG has said "We will never raise the level cap, sorry" and then they did so eventually. Now, that doesn't mean that Statesman WILL change his mind, but he could.
