I suggested this quite a few months ago with a worked out plan and the response i got back from the Dev i sent it to was semi positive.
PEAT: Praetorian Epic ArcheType
*Praetor:
Any attacking primary/ Any non attacking Primary
*Custom WarWork:
At level 24 forced respec, making the choice of career path, much like the VEAT.
Starting path/Path1)
Builder; Low ranged attacks, low def
Path 2)
MK-VI "Vickie": Med to High melee attacks, med to high res and def
Path 1 and 2 can combine secondary powers.
Path 3)
Demolitioner: Med to high Ranged attacks, med to high res and def.
Path 1 and 3 can combine primary powers.
Also have the outfit in slot 1 reflect the path choice.
PS: this is waaay less detail than my initial pm to the Dev. -

I would love to have an alternate method of getting access to Cim.
The new DA mission arcs will take you to Cim, and if you didn't unlock it yet, you'll auto unlock it.
A friend of mine had this, and CS told her it was WAI. -
With all honesty, even some rough art sketches would have worked while the program was running, showing what you are working on and what we are sub'd for. Not giving out anything is just.. yeah... nvm.. enough people are understandable upset about this.
And again Zwill has failed us with his empty promise regarding this subject.
Zwill, u a good guy, loved by the players, i think this is why it is so hard for us to understand that even you are failing us atm. -

I couldn't help but think of Metallica's "One"
I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Splash screen pops up and I want to scream
This terrible silence stops it there
Now that the last issue is through with me
I'm booting up, too much crotch to see
Horror inside thats left for me
Nothing is real but shame now
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, wake me
Back at the login it's much too real
In words cant express how I feel
Way too much it can reveal
Ruins the online life that I live
Fed through the updates devs give me
Just like an MMO novelty
Tied to machines and grind XP
Cut this splash screen off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, wake me
Now the crotch is there, I'm just one
Oh god, help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, help me
His crotch, imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped by myself
Loading screen hell
His crotch has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my caring
Log into my farm
Log into my base
Taken my soul
Free me from this log in hell
This is/was one of my favorite songs of all time, and you ruined it!
I hope you're happy!
Btw, nice work

the issue is people not reading chat.
when the league leader says "do not click glowies" there are people who do not understand what that means. Also "Do not attack AM" fails with a lot of people.
Or use your acid and nade temp powers, and people don't know what that means either.. so yeah, reading is hard, and should get nerfed! -
i Totally agree, i have no edumacation, dropped out of kindergarten at age 12, reading is hard for me!
-
Some of these items made me laugh.
Way to go PS!
Finally we 'have' Clown Summoning, now what you have to say Positron?
*Throws a water balloon at Posi* -
With all honesty there are some really nice builds here, while attitudes are the exact opposite.
Contest: from date to date, doesn't mean when you are 1st to submit you should win. It means that from all the builds submitted, the OP will look at the better build for HER, and the one fitting her style best should win.
I do agree that making changes to the target build due to the fact that someone submitted a build with something you like is unfair, and i know the OP will take this with her for the next contest, if she ever holds one.
To the OP,
I hope you find a build you like, that is the purpose of this contest anyways.
To the contestants,
Some of you really need to get of your high horse and get back to reality. -
Well.. the program is over.... and no extra news or info was released during these 3 months >.<
Way to go Paragon Studios, way to go.
For a loyalty program, emphasis on loyalty, cause you wanna keep the players from going to a diff game that released, you sure make it easy to spot that you guys have you priorities mixed up.
Pushing this, pushing that, releasing such, selling so... but when it comes to actually entice or show the loyal fans, the loyal players, the people who have been playing and paying for years, you show you just don't care.
I'll guess we'll have to wait and see on April 18th, i believe, what the deal is. Cause if there is nothing released in the whole 3 months of the program, i doubt they'll show us something now.. not that it matters anymore, the program is over, the cash has been collected and that is what counts, right? green green green, loyal green cash.
And yes Zwill, also looking at you with a foul look atm, with your post on 02-07-2012:

Thank you Zwill for your explanations, i'm glad that my post gave you the option to go a little deeper in the whole ordeal so that we all know what needs to be done as upkeep for those languages.
From a business view, i understand this move. As i stated before, it doesn't affect me one bit, but i know it will have a great impact on others.
This is news nobody wants to hear, and i am sorry that it has come to this.
I talked about the following with friends in the game, and we never fully understood why this never happens.
In order to gain more players, even if they start as F2P, why isn't marketing thinking about advertisement? The reason W0W and R!ft are gaining in players is because of advertisement. I see several buses with their adds driving through my city, and let us not forgot the TV Commercials.
I understand that this would take a lot of resources to do, and i'm not talking about competing for adds versus these two giants. But the fact is that if i knew about this game, i'd started sooner than i did by finding the AE Edition by chance in my local Gamest0p.
You can start small, an add page in several magazines would be a start. And don't limit it to NA only, but pick some Euro magazines too.
It doesn't all fall on Paragon Studios either, NCsoft should be dedicating resources to adds for their games too, and not just their new games.
I hope that this post opens up discussion to this topic. -

And this is shocking? On Ventrilo or Teamspeak I use Ironblade. My Skype account doesn't use my real name since I anticipated I might use it for gaming.
I too have my name set as glob name on Vent, yet my friends also know my RL name... He however, never stated his RL, not even when asked. -

Why is it "shame on them"?
Sometimes businesses have to make "the hard choice" so I'm guessing they need to cut some spending and the least amount of people affected by it. Unfortunately that's the EU servers.
All the content, including the forums, is in their native language already. It's easier to translate any new content for them than to revert all content to English.Quote:Originally Posted by Zwillinger
This decision brings no joy to anyone within the Paragon Studios team. We have long been proud of our ability to offer CoH in both French and German. Unfortunately we have reached a point where supporting the costs associated with localizing all of the game files, all marketing materials and all Community content was unsustainable.
There are several people at Paragon Studios who are bilingual, Fritag for German comes to mind. Have those people help with translating the new content.
This will also negatively impact the kids who are playing. Yes, Europa has their schools teach basic English at the age of 12-15, but that doesn't mean they are great at it. And esp the older people who have not mastered English. This would actually mean that instead of making it easier for French and German players to get into the game, it would make it harder for them to understand what is going on.
Instead of this change, may i suggest a new option?
Have those servers give an option in which language their content is, or maybe even all servers, seeing as French Canadians are NA based.
Make the default option English, and have a 'settings' option for language.
This preserves the people who can not/have not learned or mastered the English language, and would make quite a few French speaking Canadians happy too. -
Quote:This makes sense to me, and i'm all for it.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
It's more about preserving our sanity. I'm fairly active in global channels on my personal account, and I appreciate that I can chat without being deluged with PM's like I am on my Redname account.
Also, I get to spy on you all.
*maniacal laughter*
This also makes me a bit suspicious of a global friend of mine who does everything he can to hide/preserve his real life identity.
He isn't on facebook, he actually made a dummy e-mail for Mids build advice even when he is on Vent with us, he just keeps using his global name.
*Goes in deep thoughts* -

April Fools...?
.
Not many, but they will deff loose some subs over this.
It doesn't affect me, but affects populations who have not learned English yet, and to stop doing content in their language but still offer support in that language is just.... yeah.
Zwill, i really hope this is an April fools joke, if not.... shame on you guys. -
Quote:Sad to say, but yeah, i think green is winning the battle versus loyalty.. such a shame, and i didn't think it would actually come THIS far.Originally Posted by TrueGentleman
Given the amount of time and effort spent promoting the Super Packs vs. that for the Loyalty Program, you can probably guess which is more important to Paragon Studios in the CoH Freedom era.
As i posted on a diff thread, imo, loyalty trumps green every single time.
Yes, it's nice that short timers are willing to fork over hundreds of dollars to get up the Reward (Money) Tree, but if they don't stay longer than two months, what's the point?
When subs start to drop, less resources will be made available from outside, less resources means less content, less content means... well you get the picture. -
Quote:Reason for not taking Frag: They have the potential to scatter the mob, this will interfere with the pets.Originally Posted by PrincessDarkstar
I can see what you have done with the build, and the crab attack powers swap easily with the gun attacks that I want, but it is still missing Bayonet, Frag Grenade and Omega Maneuver unfortunately.
I can bring in one of those attacks instead of Super Jump, and move some slots out of Health to slot it, but I would also have to drop Wolf Spider Armor for Frag Grenade/Omega Maneuver and wiggle some slots out of Hasten/TT:M to slot it.
I will play around with yours as a template though.
Reason for not taking huntsman powers but Crab powers: Crab powers are more potent and do more damage.
Reason i have no melee but only ranged attacks: Draw the foes out, ranged attacks for self, when foe gets close, pets will do the melee damage. With 6 pets from power pools and 2 from lore, you'll be deadly.
Reason i have so many team buffs: Pets take the buffs too.
PS: This is actually an old build i never got a chance to make for my own Crab. Working on a few new toons takes away resources for this build. -
It HAS to be in the same billing day.
Their billing days are calculated by GMT standards, so as long as you paid inside those 24hrs you are fine.
However, if your billing ended say, at March 28th 23:50 GMT, and you resub 15 minutes later making March 29th 00:05 GMT, you are SoL.
PM Zwill to make sure....
if they say no, just tell them that due the all the info that came out on the whole Loyalty Program and all the news and pictures you saw, you were just too awestruck to act in a timely fashion.
(Say that with a sarcastic tone, they'll get the point.) :P -
