    How much of the player base do you really think will see it if it is made a vet reward now? How many years for the 'average' player to get that award.

    Being made into a vet reward that you will see in a few months compared to 4-5 years is what make you think optimistically about it.

    Better to have a goodies pack like good vs evil in a while.
  2. Would of been nice to know this before the earlier deal. Dont understand the rose coloured glasses from the people supporting this a a fair, open deal.

    So its not really a happy annocuement for a lot of people who prepurchased );

    And soul binding tech is now here ): Bet incarnate stuff uses it ):
  3. I love temp powers. More is great.

    The weapon ones mean more to non vet toons who dont have the vet attacks.

    The backup radio can sell for a lot.

    And go run the new Posi, it's fun even without a recipe roll.
    We cant mail merits as there is a vet reward that gives new characters merits. Those vets could create lots of characters and pass those merits on for no risk.

    Oops should of read all the thread first.... just repeating stuff

    Haven't seen any redname even acknowledge its a problem, why would they fix it ):

    And the numbers of recipes when sellingthem to vendor are even smaller

    Hopefully they have accept email from strangers on.

    Does loot disappear if thats the case? Or does it return to sender?

    hopefully with power customisation along with that remix

    I'm serious, go try it yourself. Create a test mission and choose for example Skulls and defeat one in AE and then defeat the same Skull at the same level on the streets. You'll find at least a 10% difference lower in AE. It's not even worth it anymore.

    You can thank all of those farmers for that one.
    You mean thank the exploiters.

    Personally, I'd like the functionality as long as I can control what badges get posted on Facebook. I get about 30 badges every time I create a new character; I don't want to flood my page with all those. And exploration badges are too easy, I wouldn't care about posting those so much. But things like Master of X TF I would really like to show off.

    And hey, it'd be good promotion for the game.
    You could just post to facebook yourself.
  13. I'd expect it to be B).

    If wanted a lvl 50 only, needs to state level 50 only. As is, I see it stating what level it will be run at.

    I'd still send a tell first if i was lower than 45ish, as less than five levels lower than leader can be a big deal to some teams.

    I'd suggest that the devs put an XP rating on each arc so that players can tell ahead of time whether an arc gives decent XP. I like a good story as much as the next guy. But I like a good story that gives decent XP even more, and there's no reason you can't have both.

    Another please... I'm tired of seeing my ARCs lose XP rewards everytime I turn around, and kinda accept it must be, but i'd love to know if I was getting 50%, 70% etc XP when I select a mission, or how short my arc is.

    Can I ...

    If you want a picture of your character, you can press printscreen and a snapshot is saved in your city of heroes folder.

    unless you are in the tailor/costume maker view.

    • Single Shoulder Capes are available as part of the 21 Month Vet Reward.

    Both of these Items are available to Characters from the start. Otherwise, You have to be Level 20 or higher to run the Cape Mission.

    Thank you for the time...
    Plus the valkyrie cape from that booster

    This avoids the whole "You can only unlock it by waiting" dilemma, and at the same time gives those of us who have been around for ever a break when it comes to doing something we have done a thousand times already.

    *When I say costume pieces I mean the wings and boots you can unlock
    **I did the math, if you get 60 vanguard merits every 30 months, that breaks down to 20 a month or 1,200 in 60 months. This would give any 60+ month vet the ability to unlock the full Vanguard outfit OR a bunch of those temp powers and other unlock-ables.

    Of course this is just an idea I thought id toss up in the air.
    I think vanguard merits as reward is great idea.

    Or maybe we're all just dumb. Yeah, that must be it.

    Ummm by IOing are you talking about purples? How much effort?

    What sort of experiment would convince you its not hard? Many times in market section there has been a level to 50, sell everything for 11 inf and see what you end up with, with most having 100+ million at the end. Thats very little effort, not even looking at last 5

    Then a lvl 50 would earn a lot more with 'some effort' at 50.

    How much INF do you think it takes to get set IOs, and what sort of IO out do you mean?

    I agree. I think the EAT at 50 rewards grind more than skill.

    I am still sick of that MM
  22. I'ld really like some merit rewards for story arcs you particpate in - you'd have to either inflate the merit and merit prices or give a merit fraction. Be very hard to scale right.
    IMO paper/radio missions dont need merits, as less travel time, lead to badges, temp powers, accloade etc.

    And I agree that the redside get shaft, needs to be a lesser merit rate for FEDEXing.

    It did get me to grind the last 4 levels of my MM, which felt like it took forever, and the only reason I finnished her off was I thought it be faster than getting my next highest villain to 50.

    With a touch of schadenfreude I imagine the disappointment on a new player's face as they leave the shiny confines of Praetoria and grind their new epic toon through the wasteland of early blueside content.
