I think this thread is a pretty good example why the Devs need to look into a lot of revamping beyond just starter content.

Good coverage... I really need to start getting in on these so I can ask my own questions...
Like if we'll ever get the rest of the CoT costume pieces.
Hell, I'd settle for them just being available in AE right now, my customized CoT faction looks like they're made up of damned Philistines with their short skirts and lacking tall hats!

Malta hasn't been a stealth ops group since they've been introduced.
I mean COME ON! They have OUTDOOR SPAWNS IN PEREGRINE AND USE ONE TO FIVE STORY TALL ROBOTS!
They also do not have snipers, strangely.

so earlier I was trying to make a custom CoT group (because fighting followers, behemoths, more behemoths, ice thorn casters, and death mages gets boring) in AE and I REALLY would like to reiterate my wish for the rest of the CoT pieces.

I'm going to say something else on the voices...
i have a weakness for voice acting and would love to see more of it in the future... If I could record from my place, I'd love to audition for some voice roles for paragon studios. Oh! Oh! And if only we could get some quality voice actors doing some rolls in the game like Johnny Young Bosch or Tara Strong.
I guess they don't come cheap but I can dream, right?
I think I'll do just that.
/em sleep
Mmmm... Yes, Christopher Lee Nemesis, tell me all about your plan while Morgan Freeman Sefu Tendaji and Samuel L Jackson Dark Watcher berate you as a fool...

You see, in my mind, the crime in Paragon isn't nearly as bad as what we see in the game.
It's just that way so everyone can get a chance to play as well as play through a bit differently.
No there's not a purse snatcher on every corner, that's just for the player running street sweeps and hunts. No, the world is not always doomed, your character's story is self-contained, anything you didn't do didn't happen.

At least that's how it seemed for the OLD OLD issue 1 and older.
With more recent designs, the devs have wised up and decided to streamline things so it is possible to do all the content in a level range, difficult but not impossible, and the storylines would go on without you, you apathetic jerk!

But I still don't think there's nearly as much crime or as many criminals as we see in game. Probably only an sixteenth to an eighth of the street crime in a realistic viewing, and the latter would probably be the hazard zones, and there'd probably be no mission with more than a hundred dudes inside, discounting things like robots and such.

now despite my unresearched previous statement, I will say I can agree with a lot of it.

While Sam's point can be responded with "there it's only as uninvolved as you let it be", it would be nice to have something that makes you feel like your playing a roll in this world shaking event.
Let us bust up the meteors (it worked in the Ouro arc), put in downed civilians surrounded by spawns we can save, have random stores with a glowie inside thaty we can 'loot' for cash or supplies!

What if instead of a hero like blue spectrum, we got a soldier who we either let die or help out and completion of either gives us a Target Painter temp power TO CALL THE AIR STRIKES OURSELVES! Think of how awesome that would be?

Oh, and I love the proposal for a bigger map with more familiar landmarks, that's a major problem I do have with the new tutorial. Because they both revamped Galaxy AND destroyed it at the same time, I have not much of a way to measure just how much of this familiar place am I looking at being wrecked, and don't tell me 'new players won't notice' they'll can go to the Galaxy City echo and see what doesn't add up!
Whew I play the tutorial, it feels less like Galaxy has been attacked and more like some strange new city zone I've never heard of, and no, the 'Galaxy Girl' statue in the background of the Giant Shivan battle does not help when despite how nice the story for Galaxy Girl is, her statue is one of a hundreds more copy and paste landmarks found in any part of blue or redside.

But, despite what we may ask or want, it's already been done, they didn't listen back in beta and I can't imagine the devs doing anything now. Just like the CoT pack or the removal of the Vanguard backpacks, I can't help but just see in my mind that the Devs often just see player comments, critiques, or remarks, put on a pair of sunglasses, and say: "Deal with it."

And perhaps the toughest part is, even if we do just deal with it, even if the devs do take this to mind for the next implementation, the next update's going is going to be it's own thing that no amount of heeding words of the past will help with and thus a new can of worms gets opened.
So what can either players or developers do? Throw up our hands and slam the game against the wall and pretend it never existed? Spend the time and resources on basically revamping content maybe a month old tops?
In hindsight, it seems like a painful catch 22 situation with no victory for either player or developer.

It's a good thing I've cast aside my old dream of becoming a videogame developer because I think my heart would quickly break.

As the title suggests: if we could expand the function of in-game email to allow us to send the data for AE critters, Costume files, and Power Customizations, it would truly be an invaluable tool! (or moreso than it already is)

Short answer: It's still the mask of Giovani Scaldi. And her parties were often considered "carnivals" do to their scale and... uhh... festive-ness.

Though it does make one wonder about the nature of Giovani Scaldi herself in Praetoria, since she was kind of evil in our world.

While I must admit, part of me does agree with some of the feedback here and some of the ideas proposed are nice, I do have to wonder WHERE WERE THESE COMMENTS BACK IN BETA?

Edit: In light of the comments of others I RETRACT THE PREVIOUS STATEMENT.
