I know it's heresy, but I still think that they should give out the badges but no extra rewards past five years or so. I'd hate to be a new player and think that I'll never even remotely be close to earning all the goodies that the veterans have.
Plus, it would have the added advantage of heading off the people posting that the new rewards suck.I think kviri has the right idea. [EDIT: Upon catching up, Arcanaville's Vet token system sounds even better.]Quote:Originally Posted by kviri
Personally, I think that they should stop tacking new rewards on the end (with the possible exception of the "annual" stuff like respecs and character slots) and start adding new veteran rewards in the 12-48 range every few months. That would add stuff to make newbies want to sign on and keep their accounts active (because it's not an ETERNITY away), while also continuing to provide new perks for longtime players.
From a badging standpoint, if they were going to drop anything from the system, I'd like to see the badges go away. Find a different means of distributing the rewards so people aren't losing badge progress every time a new reward is announced (since a lot of people who badge haven't been here since the beginning).
On-Topic, the new rewards sound good. -

I actually tested this before the break. Using similar NPC models with different number of cape FX systems. Here are the results:
- 100 NPCs - 0 capes = 48% loss in frame rate
- 100 NPCs - 1 cape = 75% loss in frame rate
- 100 NPCs - 3 capes = 92% loss in frame rate
(Whoops! Jake_Summers beat me to it. Question still stands, though.) -
I need to get the extra salvage slots on a lot of characters, so I'm glad you're doing this.

Most of our real PvPers use Freedom to PvP.

Quote:I think that's more of a marketing issue again. The commercials that were made would've been perfect for television and very endearing to Mac users, but they just got posted to some gaming sites. I think the numbers show that most people who use the Mac client were already playing the game anyway.Originally Posted by TonyV
I was really hoping hard that Mac gamers would join in the fun in a sizeable number to encourage further development on the platform and maybe even a Linux release.

Congratulations Baba!

Quote:I agree with the ridiculous lack of marketing, too.Originally Posted by Fury Flechette
I actually agree with these points. The game could be better advertised, and it does lack a lot of press. The economy has undoubtedly affected subscriptions for a lot of games.
The economy . . . not so much. For every person I know who's cancelled an account, I can think of at least 1 person who's opened an additional account. Not to mention, $15 a month is about the cheapest entertainment option around besides pulling out your old board games. The economy can be a frequent scapegoat, but I don't think it's affected online gaming subscriptions as much as it has affected brick-and-mortar industries. -
TonyV,
Good job proving you have way too much time on your hands!
Seriously though, nice work with this. I like charts/graphs. -
I will schedule a month worth of Hamidon raids if you give that to my Hami tank, graystar.

Quote:Out of all the silliness, this one is actually a really good suggestion.Originally Posted by Cyyan
7.) Do away with Trains as a means of inter-zone transportation, in a superhero game this is just … well I can’t even begin to say. Train stations could be converted to Tele-portal stations, like a scaled down mini version of Portal Corp only no clicking on it, pick a portal by the sign over the portal off you go, you’d just walk into it. If you have a mission selected in your Nav, any portal would automatically take you to that mission’s zone.
Really, REALLY good suggestion.
I don't know about the active mission auto-zoning part, but it was great until then. The trains don't make sense in Paragon. They never have.
The rest is just silly. -

Is it PvP drop rate WAI? Or is it defense bonuses, IOs, and ubiquitous soft-capping WAI?
The drop rate has resulted in perfectly viable price ranges for a great many PvP IOs. The one IO that adds 3% defense to all is the anomaly-- and this speaks more about demand than supply. Demand is a byproduct of a skewed defense system in relation to IOs. -

But stereotyping is fun, how else can we make baseless claims that demean others we have never met?

Quote:Oh, I know you're hiding on the server somewhere. I conned you into playing my convoluted MArc when Issue 14 went live. I believe you logged off shaking your head.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
I long time ago, when I first signed up to play the game, the game client asked me to pick a server, and I picked the one on the top of the list.
And here I am. -

I know Vego in real life, I'll talk to him about coming on later. He's out at his other lifetime subscription to bar hopping.

I don't remember there being any math in this thread. Why are you here?
(Funny Vid
)

Vego got a lifetime sub to CO for like $60, so I think he spends his game time there.

Watch part 4. It's immediately hilarious.

If you're wondering if there's any crazy New Yorkers who play COH that might be a part of this, look no further than the guy with the most red rep on the forums. I believe he's planning to do it again this weekend. Here's last year's pic!
