It would also be pretty awsome if you could make it a side bar with say 9 favorite emotes of your choice. That way you could browse through them and when you find one that you really like you could just click the favorite button.

Hit an expand button and the interface pops up. This interface/shortcut bar could be opened and closed via the current emote button. So that way players that wish not to have the bar open at all times wouldn't have to.

I think it would be nice to have a spawn priority for custom enemy groups. Lets say I have a 3 minions 1 Assault Rifle, 1 Energy Blast and 1 Mind Control. I don't want the mind control type to spawn to heavily because it can quickly become to much for any reasonable team to handle. So I could either set a flag that says lowest priority for spawn or limit one per spawn, what way my players won't be overcome by mezzes, or smoke grenades, or any other super nasty effect with every spawn.

I have tried very carefully to make a custom enemy group that isn't absurdly difficult, but with the way the system randomly spawns currently there is no way to predict what a spawn will consist of. Also it makes scaling difficulty to team size very difficult. If a team happens to run across a spawn that decided to put in 7 mind control guys or 7 guys with smoke grenade this will wipe out a team even on the easiest setting.

I think a feature like this would help immensely.

It would be nice if we could get a better interface for browsing the emotes we have available to our characters. Its a bit daunting to keep track of emotes that are not listed in the current interface. For which there are many! Especially the unlockable emotes.

Maybe an actual pop up window that could stay up.

hmm. Is there somewhere I can see said virtual tickets? Or are they just a badge counter? In otherwords can I spend virtual tickets?

OK, I could have sworn that when I started using MA that I recieved tickets during test runs. Now for some reason I am not? Any ideas?

And what if on my Tri-Form PB I want to take a useful power like recall friend that I would actually use.

Rather than some stupid shield or human form attack that I don't have enough slots to make useful.

They really need to add the ability to have an option to have rent autopay!.. That way I don't have to drudge all the way back to atlas or port oaks to turn the power on...

Fine with me Fissure & Psionic Tornado are better powers in my book.

I have noticed I can almost always create running mobs by using irradiate on my rad/rad corruptor, and it seems to have a high rate of being my Radiation Infection anchor. Is it possible that DOT attacks are causing this fear behavior. Perhaps even intentional so as to make it more difficult to corner pull effectively. Kinda like a nerf through AI modification?

Yes, cause the SE capes do not come in Shoulder Cape style, only normal style. And you paid extra for those two capes. All I'm saying is if they are going to change the rule for this non-vet, paid for extra, then they should do it for the others. Currently the only way to use my paid for DVD edition capes is to lvl to 20 and earn them, even though I paid for them ahead of time. However I knew that was coming. Players already knew aura's had to be unlocked before using them, but complained about this. I'm simply saying if they are going to do this, which isn't a bad idea, then it should apply to the capes as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well my only complaint is that they directly made them "combat aura" not "aura" these aura's are tiny by comparison, and aren't always on. If they would have made more aura options that encompassed more of the body or made options to have them always on, I wouldn't mind waiting. At least your capes are on all the time when you get them, and there not little midget capes either.

Though I can see your point about the fact that the situation is similar and should get them early.

Dear Devs,

Please allow us to get the combat auras at character creation... Because really they are only like having half or quarter of an aura. Plus this is bonus material that we pay extra for that should have the perk of being available at creation.. Please Devs at least consider it.

Understandable and thanks for the feedback. However, I would have to advise you to better get to know the people you are grouping with. Simply put, if someone has a reputation for such, don't engage in a task / strike force or trial with them. You would be well advised to only take your most trusted allies with you to tackle such challenging and dangerous missions!

[/ QUOTE ]

You know what, normally I am very sympathetic to the devs POV but in this case I am in total disagreement.

Either you are telling me that I can't play this content with a PuG, unless I get lucky and no one in the PuG has an emergency, gets mad, has technical issues or is generally incompetent. I am sorry but having to restart a 4hr task force after 2.5hrs because someone looses internet connection or something comes up is ridiculous. I know you guys think hey its just common sense that if you have to leave that you should quite the Task Force. But not everyone is going to think of that. You really need to add a way to allow the team leader to kick an absent member of a Task Force.

The only other thing I can think of that you are telling me is that if I don't have the hook up in this game I will never get to reliably enjoy TF's. What if a person doesn't have any real life friends that play this game. What if you have a very small friends list. That would be me I only play with a couple of people regularly so TF's now are basically out of the question. I am not going to waste my time if there isn't a reasonable way to deal with trouble team members or people who perma DC during a TF.

The comment that you made sounds just a bit to role playerish for my liking. You are making it sound like TF's should only be enjoyed by the elite.

Its just a given that some one on a team my decide to go bonkers and get mad and logoff. Its gonna happen give us the tools to deal with it. Or should we just say "Sorry, I don't know you so you can't be on my TF!" Better add that to the notes when you start a TF then.

Finally what you are telling me is that its not OK for people to soft load a map to complete it to easily. You should redesign the maps so that isn't possible with keys, apparently you find that is a waste of your development time. But it OK for the Devs to allow us to waste our time by trying to complete a TF with a PuG. Thanks for reminding me that your time is more valuable than the players time.

I know I might seem spiteful, but your comment just twisted my bolts in the wrong way.

I took my Thugs/Dark on Pinnacle from 9 - 31 in about 27hrs. I also played my Bots/FF from 25-26. I also took my Energy/Electric brute from 23-24.

OK Flame Away, But any one dumb enough to transfer their toons on to the busiest server gets what they asked for. They are now on the busiest server, which means that there is a chance that the server may end up at capacity when it it busiest. DUH! Gosh why won't my shoe fit on my head. I don't know because you are a moron? Also other servers do exist, if even half of the population on Freedom would transfer to less busy servers no one would ever have to complain about finding people to play with on any server... Oh well, I guess sheep will be sheep!

Rant Off.

Great! All Great!

I do have one request, when you create the City Vault is there any way that it could be tagged so that it doesn't get caught up in things like Websense for Games!

If that is at all possible it would be greatly appreciated. I am always frustrated by the villains board because of this. Thank gosh the Heroes board isn't tagged as such.

Question: Does this free time count towards veteran time. I know the free days you get from buying the game don't count. So do these?

Because if it doesn't I would rather just send them a personal email to get them back and pay for my time so I can get my goodies sooner.

Thanks

[/ QUOTE ]

To further clarify for the person you're responding to here, Ex, yes, the free month that you get from purchasing the game does indeed count towards Veteran Reward time. Not sure where he'd get the idea that it doesn't.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well like I said in my original post. Time you get from buying a retail box of the game doesn't count. So I was under the impression that any time given for free wouldn't count as well. But thanks for the explanation. I appreciate it!

The only thing I can say is that this smells of power customization. Our likely hood of this happening now is much greater than it ever has been. Wheee!

Excuse me, but, uh, I'm not quite sure how to say this... Are you me?

Yeah I am, You know that guy on the other side of the mirror, thats me. I mean thats you but thats me, at least when I look it is. You see it too don't you? LOL

Now when you say that we get costume to look like non-player characters. Does that mean we would gain the powers of that character while we have the costume. Because only being able to dress like a non-player character is very not exciting. Have the temp powers of the non-player characters would a much larger desire to try to achive the costumes making the Holloween event much more excitable. But that's only my view.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why?

You want to have a total of two or three attacks when in the costume. LOL Look at a typical minion: 1 Ranged attack (Usually laughably weak) and 1 Melee attack (Moderate Damage). Now a boss costume, if they even exist, might have say 3-4 attacks. Whoopee... Sorry I'll stick with the attacks I have... Plus as stated before their just a "Costume" if you go and buy a Superman "Costume" at Target it won't make you fly. LOL

All I can say is WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Swords = Stupid. I thought they were going to be big knives held downward pointing.. Now that would have been cool! But two swords.. Geesh city of ninja's anyone.. Bleh Two thumbs down...

Thanks for the info!!!!
