Dispari

To be fair, it's an exception. I also want but won't buy the costume slots despite the fact that my main RP character has over 45 outfits. $20 is way too high. I also think $1 for individual costume parts is too high. I've complained about both on numerous occasions. I'm glad the autumn aura is currently 80 points because I was foaming at the mouth about it being 120 points. I don't want it, but I don't want the devs to get the idea that they should be selling individual costume parts for even $1, much less more than a dollar each.

Mostly I bought the dog to help fund development of future four-legged rig stuff (like an MM set). Though I'd still prefer a wolf. And it needs to work with [Walk].

How many for animated hair?

Interesting question. My widow uses Warworks and has TT:L and Mind Link. Wonder if that would put them ahead, if this is the real reason Cims do more.

My server had a Tao Gunka MR Pally. One of the only things that could kill me (outside of GF).

A) They may not be desirable to you, but someone's going to buy anything they put on there. For instance: I bought the dog today.

While it's possible they could make more money by offering X instead of Y, it's impossible to know that or make comparisons on what they could've made or put on sale.

I didn't buy the Halloween pack, but I know people who did. I didn't make an angry post about how the devs are making undesirable things.

B) Prices might seem high, but there are still people buying anyway. It's possible they could make a profit if they sold more items for cheaper, but it's pretty difficult to know or predict that kind of thing.

Also, most people are planning on getting things with their free points every month. What would you prefer: one interesting thing every 3-4 weeks, or something you feel you have to spend your points on every single week? We've already seen threads where people are upset that they have to spend real money (instead of use their free points) to buy things. And that devs are putting things out too fast so they can't possibly get all the things they're "owed" without spending real money.

I think a trickle of lower interest items is a safer bet. That way people can pass if they aren't that interested and save for better things.

C) You and I don't really know how much money they're making on this, nor how much money they're expecting to make, nor how the two compare. If it turns out it's not making them much money they'll make changes. It's entirely possible it's going according to plan.

Dog ate the devs' homework.

It's 500 points. But, I'm hoping money spent on this goes toward funding a new Mastermind primary. Other than that, I do feel it's a bit high for a pet power. I'm investing in hopes of future progress.

I would also want to be able to tint or disable the FX on Combat Jumping. Kind of annoying when I have a "no FX" character who still glows yellow because of CJ.

I named my Thug MM's pets after the cast of Airplane and made macros so they say stuff like that.

I always name my MM pets after crazy stuff. My demons are named after brands of gum.

That at least I could see. It was one of the only things tying me to the MA set (that and EC's animation). Though I've since moved on to StJ.

Though I've never had an issue with ST knockback. Just AoE knockback. Especially random AoE knockback. Most especially PBAoE knockback.

Which powersets rely on knockback so much that changing it to knockdown would qualify as a "massive nerf?"

I'm probably weird, but I wait for things to be on beta before I give feedback. You know, when they're actually being presented and tested. Not when they were just offhandedly mentioned or from some teaser or leak. I mean, I had a list of incarnate powers and stuff months before they were even announced, but I didn't make a thread about how IDF pets suck (though I could have).

Funny story, I made a new char to level up and took her to DfB to get her to 22 (because after 5 years I just want to skip to SOs). I did a bunch of runs, in which a couple people stuck around the whole time. They were trying to get that badge, but we kept doing 8-man teams. As people came and go we kept explaining how it works but someone would always kill a minion. A random AoE, not paying attention, or a Mastermind pet hitting the wrong target. They got increasingly frustrated after explaining in detail to not attack or kill any minions, only to watch it fail every time. Then in the last run, when they had given up and just didn't mention it at all, we got the badge.

Though if you really want the badge it's a lot easier to just do a 4-man team with a couple friends.

Both, to be thorough.

I left a comment on the most important topic, on the submission itself.
