Got 6 of 7 FP badges (Numina only apparently showed once), finally nailed Caleb, and walked off with a full tray of EoE and about 150 merits... despite the disco ball lag.

Not a peep out of the developers that this is the reason.
These are also NOT REQUIRED, ergo the only reason anyone would feel compelled to get them on every toon would be OCD.Quote:The killing point is that logging in to so many alts feels like a JOB, therefore NOT FUN. -

Very well done. Much better than my idea of going after the dyslexic female demographic

Quote:Heh, the big drawback to being so overwhelmingly responsive. Seriously, you've responded more to questions in one thread than I've ever seen another red-name respond to. This is a novelty to everyone here. Be proud of it... and take a lot of aspirin.Originally Posted by Black Pebble
The flood of questions is, unfortunately, overwhelming me.
How about promoting player-made videos? -
Quote:Heh, if I got them FREE at cons, that would be neat. And would still be fine, when I go to cons. Since I've paid for all the (see my previous post for real and potential list), I'd like to be able to buy them anytime, not just at cons.Originally Posted by Black Pebble
Don't you like getting neat things for showing up to cons? We like giving out neat things. They wouldn't be as neat if they were easy to get.

Quote:Yes. I would love to be able to buy more hero and villain tumblers, shot glasses (if they existed), t-shirts, posters, hats (I don't even WEAR hats, and I'd buy one), pins, buttons, mouse pads, those ridiculous cell phone wrapper thingies, sticky stuff to put on my PC case to foul up the cooling.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
Also, give us the opportunity. You know how? STUFF. We can't buy anything that isn't digital from the store--I'm talking simple crap, like the stuff you already sell at Cons. And update the front page of the website--you know it doesn't even have GR for sale?
I'm all for marketing to (potential) new players, but heck, market to ME a bit, too. I wants to buy ur stuffz! -
Wow, I didn't even know EU had four servers - the only ones I hear about are Defiant and Union.
Can see where that would be indicative of a problem.
For myself, I'd like to play on the EU servers, too. I just:
a) need a faster PC, which I will have this Monday, and
b) would like to do so withOUT having to buy the game again.
Any way b can be fixed? -
Quote:And, to be fair, if none of US buy the stuff being advertised, it's a "fail" for the folks who purchased the ad space.Originally Posted by Black Pebble
In-game advertising is tricky. For every player who thinks it's cool, I'd bet there's a player who feels like it breaks the immersion for them. Even targeted advertising can be tricky. I have a friend who plays CoH who'd much rather see diaper ads vs computer ads. Just not interested in tech.
If we ever did it, we would make sure it works for everyone. I don't think any of you would like to see something haphazard, no matter how cool it could be. -
Seriously, though...
TV ads are too expensive for the somewhat diffuse audience they reach. If you're going to put a product in front of everyone, it needs to be a product everyone would potentially buy. CoX (sadly) is not one of those products.
Targeted web advertising comes to mind; banners on gaming sites and such.
Also, pre-movie advertising in theaters, especially at fantasy/sci-fi/superhero movies. -

Quote:Ahhh, the old "tacit approval" thing. I stand corrected.Originally Posted by Kheldarn
Silence is acceptance. The bacon has accepted your acceptance of it.
Y'know what I *do* find a little odd? A red-name responding this much to... ummm... anything...
THAT'S creepy. Cool, but creepy.
Then again, maybe that conference call is REALLY boring.
-
Quote:Hehehe, can I call one of them right now and tell on you? I'd be willing to pay for a video of the response... if I had the money to spare.Originally Posted by Black Pebble
This is great. No one on this conference call knows I'm forum trolling.
I never wash my hair, so that wouldn't bother me. And as for tacky, you should see the "If you don't believe [politely undefined religious belief], you're going to [politely undefined bad afterlife place] when you die" billboards around here.Quote:Wouldn't there be concerns of tackiness if you started seeing Billboards advertising shampoo?
That's... not the right answer...Quote:PS - Did you notice I ignored the bacon question?

Quote:It was kinda neat, in an unobtrusive sorta way. Don't know how much potential advertisers would be willing to pay for it, but it did, in my mind anyway, add to the immersion. Made it seems as if this was all happening in MY world, not "just the game".Originally Posted by Black Pebble
You want to see in-game advertising?
Other folks' mileage will, of course, vary. -
Quote:LOL, wow (no pun intended). You'll fit in around here JUST fine.Originally Posted by Black Pebble
I'll be fine. I played WoW for five years and I have low self esteem. It's win+win.

Welcome aboard! Have you been hiding in my shoe all this time?

Heh, so when CO was asked "got game?" the answer was obviously a resounding "Uhh... what?"
Congratulations, Paragon! -

That, sir, is innovation at its best, as far as base building stuff goes. Nice work, Starr.
