    This would be an acceptable substitute for being able to ride Free players as mounts.
  2. Best way to let the devs know about this is to /bug it in game, although I expect they already know by now.
  3. A new character model means redoing all of the costume pieces for the new model, making sure all the animations work for the new rig, etc.

    Dunno about increasing the height max, but why should it be limited to Huge avatars? (I suspect such a limitation would be more of a mess for the creation interface than it's worth, anyway.) There may be issues there with characters fitting inside maps, although none specifically come to mind.

    But the Doctor is the only Time Lord left (allowing for wibbly-wobbly business).

    So I'm guessing you've never been able to watch any of the Superman movies because of Clark Kent's glasses (please note that I am not counting any other reasons why you might find those movies unwatchable, I just mean the glasses).

    By the way, we don't know if he'll ever get a close look at her, so it's entirely possibly he wouldn't recognize her.

    It's actually pretty easy to defend the devs against arguments containing incorrect propositions.

    1. The devs initially stated that the Alpha Slot would be part of Going Rogue. This was pre-release. Devs are acting on the only knowledge they possess at the time.
    2. Beta Testing determined that it would be better to delay the Alpha Slot in order to have more time to fully develop actual content for it (Apex and Tin Mage) instead of just having us run the existing TFs with our new shiny. At this point (still pre-release) the Alpha Slot was no longer part of Going Rogue. Devs modify their statements based on what they learned.
    3. Going Rogue releases, we have no Alpha Slot, which we were told we would not get prior to release. Devs are right.
    4. dear god why am I even bothering you clearly aren't going to be persuaded by rational thinking

    You know, I had something nagging at the back of my mind telling me that there was precedent for that in the show, but I couldn't quite grab it. Guess my mind can't handle Time Lord memories either.
  10. You don't need to fill Tier 9 in order to access Tier 9 VIP, you can jump straight from T8 to T9 VIP.

    Celestial Armor will be back, it won't be gone forever. Previously the plan had been to rotate out T9 VIP options every few months, but I believe the devs are re-evaluating the specifics of that plan. I expect they will still rotate them out, but it might not be as frequent, or they may offer other possibilities (this is speculation though).

    By the way, you don't need to buy the Signature Story Arcs, you get them free as a VIP.

    I'm logging in and am trying to respec my level 50 villians with Ancillary Powers, but the option doesn't appear when it reaches the correct level spot. The Epic choices appear, but not the Ancillary ones. Am I missing a step? Is there something I need to do first?
    Epic and Ancillary are the same thing, unless you're referring to something else...

    We have no idea. I've seen the theory posed that it will happen on October 1st, but this is just a theory and not fact at all.
  14. Nah, they're not gonna remove it, what they're going to do is make you pay $2/month to continue using it.

    Unless they fill Reward Level 3 then drop down to Premium, you are correct.

    You should read through the threads linked. I can come up with even more if I searched a touch more.
    I was going to make this exact post. Thanks for saving me the time.

    Let's be honest, that's kind of the same thing.

    (But yeah, Romero was pretty much my only good choice to use there since Hamill's Joker wouldn't really make sense there.)

    You're talking 900 years of memories, I'd be very surprised if a human brain could consciously recall most of it, especially that long after the initial transfer. Hell, after that long I'm sure even the Doctor forgets stuff.

    Or he may have just gotten a concussion from the initial transfer.

    Not impressed. He just doesn't fit the part. I'd rather have someone a little more unconsciously psychotic, like Cesar Romero or Jack Nicholson were. Heath is going to have to do the best acting of his career for me not to think of him as "romantic comedy boy/homosexual cowboy".
    Fixed that for you.

    SuperJump

    NCSoft had nothing to do with that other game. That other company split off from NCSoft a loooooong time ago. Paragon Studios develops CoH now. But even if what you said were true, just because you can implement something in a brand new game doesn't mean you can just cram it into an existing game and expect it to work.

    All of that said, should the devs every manage to implement power customization/alternate animations for power pools (and thus travel powers), the number one thing I'd like to see is the current flypose emotes rolled into that, and that would also be a good excuse to create an alternate animation for SJ like what you're describing.

    Pre-EDIT: Oh wait, I thought you were describing something similar to how the Hulk starts his leaps, but this video from that other game looks pretty much like our SJ except for the landing.

  22. Same. Oh well, not gonna be playing today anyway, long day at work.

    Points...and I

    But I could only wish list it. Else I would have spent the points on it right away! I still have something like 850-900 some odd points available, which were intended on buying the controller.

    That being said, Ill be premium for maybe a week. I was only planning on keeping the points to unlock the controller just in case something happened.
    1. Like others said, I don't remember Controllers being discounted.
    2. Why should you be able to purchase something that you already have as a VIP?
    3. Evidently I have not quoted the correct post, but I am too lazy to go back and grab the correct one, this one is close enough.

    No it's not, but thanks for confirming your inability to approach an argument with any rationality whatsoever.

    For the record, I have been pretty intensely critical of the game lately and have lost a lot of faith in the devs in the past couple years. But yeah I'm just a fanboy.
  24. Wow, only 4 hours off.

    Yay! Now I can finally play the game.
  25. The Arcane Teleporter is bugged, it's still pointing to the original Galaxy.
