Cite a public red-name post to this effect please.
For the record, I doubt they'd care so long as the player wasn't mistakable for an NCsoft employee or representative, but this post rings hollow when supporting it with a citation is made impossible by the forums rules -- as it stands it's just your say-so and you're not NCsoft. -

Oh, god, no, we're not. And it boggles me that anyone can even begin to think we are...

It's worth mentioning that Praetorian mission content is generally quite a bit more difficult than Primal content from the same level ranges (even the newer Primal content).
The thing with difficulty settings is definitely not supposed to work the way you describe, nor does it in my experience. It should be noted that missions spawned at +0 actually spawn enemies both at +0 and +1, but if you're spawning it at -1 then you shouldn't be getting +1s at all. I know there was a bug ages ago where only Lieutenants would spawn in a mission, and I don't think it was ever fully quashed (I haven't seen it happen in a while though). That might be what you're running into. -
Quote:The hilarious part of this complaint is that there is already a price cap on the market.Originally Posted by Tyger42
Thank god. It always irritates me when a minority of players seems insistent that the devs need to step in and manipulate prices on the player market just because they can't afford something.

I don't see the connection since GG seems to be agreeing with you.
Then I accept your apology.Quote:If memory serves (and I could be wrong) the polls were done in 2005 and we got shields at the end of Dec 2008/Jan 2009. So roughly three years. -
Quote:City of Heroes is really just a backgammon clone when the get right down to it.Originally Posted by Mental_Giant
The WoW clone comment is hilarious. Kids these days! Remember when everything was an EverQuest clone? Or an Ultima Online clone? Technically, the first MMO to go 3D was Meridian 59, so I guess we're all M59 clones!

You don't need IOs in order to function in a team.

Just curious Forbin, are you one of GG's alternate accounts?
Edit: Also, how long did it take us to get Shields after that survey? -
Quote:Wait, it was Jack's poll??? You mean the dude who hasn't had anything to do with City of Heroes for like 5-6 years?Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I think that it's worth remembering that most of Jack's poll of player requested zones ended up in another game

Quote:If by "ability" you mean "tracing pictures of actual people", then yes, the artist has an astounding amount of "ability".Originally Posted by Clave_Dark_5
I'm guessing the colorist did that, not the main B&W artist (assuming they're not one and the same). The artist does have some ability to capture the likenesses, which always counts for something in my book, but I have to agree with the rest of your post.

Quote:They never made any such promise.Originally Posted by Blast Lord
I do want the devs to keep their promise on making a really big moon base zone with alot of outdoor exterior missions,
Anyway, none of this will matter eventually. -

I believe the leader of each team has to be a member of the SG whose you're starting from, and they must have privileges that allow them to use the raid teleporter.

They don't sound remotely similar beyond being the same style of music.

I think this is exactly the sort of philosophy that the devs are currently following, which will become increasingly obvious with time.

A couple issues, I believe. Next issue will be even better as we'll have access to the options menu before even logging into the game.

Quote:The results of a survey from 7 years ago? No, that sounds precisely like entitlement to me.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
No it's not. We've been patiently waiting to hear something about this for 7 years and this is the first you've ever heard any grumbling about it. If you think that equates to entitlement, then you need to get your head examined.
For all you know, the dev that was spearheading the thing left the company. Or it was Posi's pet project (Statesman's? whoever was in charge at the time) and got back-burnered when War Witch took over, or whoever the hell is even running the show now.
I don't disagree that it would have been neat to get a dev comment over the years (P.S. can you explicitly prove that they never have?), but they have no obligation to do so, and it's also really not that big a deal in the grand scheme of the game compared to their philosophy of letting some bad nearly-game-breaking bugs get pushed to live.
As for why they're not saying anything now, perhaps they have a reason for keeping mum, and perhaps you will feel somewhat silly when that reason becomes evident. Perhaps. -

Quote:But it's not something they ever promised. You're applying a lot of assumptions to the devs of the time (several of whom aren't even with the company anymore) which is an extremely unfair thing to do. Also...Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
The original posts have long been lost to forum purges and the switchover to the new forums. But the surveys also asked what we wanted for power sets and that's where we got Shields from.
If BaBs could take 2 minutes out of his busy schedule to tell us that an Underwater Zone would take far too much time and resources to create and ultimately look crappy, then someone at PS could give us a response on the Moon zone.
Even something along the lines of what we were told about Power Customization would have been appreciated.
This. There's a finite amount of resources to work with, and the devs need to prioritize what they want to put into the game. They know full well that we want a Moon Zone (honestly, did they even need a poll for this???), but they're not just going to toss it into the game, it needs to have a reason to exist beyond being a new shiny.Quote:Originally Posted by Battlerock_X
It took a long time before dual pistols became an option.
Same for shields.
Same for Demon Summoning.
Same for Power/Color Customization.
Same for Titan Weapons.
Next up is Staff Fighting.
In short, no, the devs do not owe us any kind of explanation for the lack of a Moon Zone. This is the silliest entitlement I've seen on the forum in quite some time.
