There has been a dramatic purple drop rate decrease of some sort?

Quote:*Ouch* That means I cannot switch my alignment at will - only when a series of random drops finally gives me the ability to do so.Originally Posted by Ghost Falcon
Customers who do not choose to upgrade with the Going Rogue expansion will be able to do "Tip" missions, but will not be able to switch their alignments.
As mentioned in the ViDoc videos, characters have to do a number of "Tip" missions before they can get a "Morality" mission. The "Morality" mission is the determining mission that changes your alignment, and is only available to players who purchase the Going Rogue expansion.
That is Not Fun. -
Quote:Minor derail - but you do know that your character select screen shows the character location *and* you get that locations loading screen when you're loading the character?Originally Posted by thehallows
Like many, I don't like the copy pasted buildings. However, I wouldn't really mind if each zone had its own copy pasted buildings. This is one of the reasons I much prefer redside. If I log in a character and can't remember where I left it, I can see right away that I'm in Grandville or Mercy Island without looking at the map.

Quote:Sure - but the question is... what audience?Originally Posted by BackFire
People gotta remember the NC Soft guy is making his trailer for a different audience.
D_R's videos are popular not because they appeal to our sensibilities - but because they're well done. They use music, and pacing, creative camera angles, and all the other stuff that even I (who have some graphic arts OJT but no video experience or training) know about.
The NCSoft trailers on the other hand are dull, lifeless, leaden lumps. This appeals to who exactly? Not Bob & Betty Sixpack. Not J. Random Gamer either. Not to anyone I can think of. -

Quote:I was thinking the same thing - you can't offer build advice if the concept is never actually explained.Originally Posted by Scarlet Shocker
I think I'd need more info about the concept before I proposed a build. I'm not totally sure of what you're trying to achieve here and some clarification would be good.

Quote:Actually, there isn't really. There's a lot of talk about it, and it's a particularly virulent internet meme, but very little actual science.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
It's true, taking it too far slips into something called the 'Uncanny Valley', to get all film/animation technical on ya'll.
See, there's even Science behind all this stuff!

So, what does that mean?Quote:Having said that, if you just pick up and walk away from everything youve accomplished as a hero, there are consequences to your decisions. If youve made a name for yourself in the higher echelons of Paragon City, what makes you think you have any street cred in the Rogue Isles? -

Quote:Which is precisely why the Dev's put the 'disable earning XP' option into the game.Originally Posted by Prime_Nighthawk
Part of the problem is that usually I'm not doing my own missions but rather someone else's in a big group. So I outlevel my contacts and I just get used to not reading the story.

Quote:You say that as if it were new - when in fact, it's pretty much the general pattern. Marketing announces an expansion or issue... and then, at best, information leaks out by bits and dribbles over the following months.Originally Posted by Creole Ned
I do think NCsoft marketing dropped the ball by announcing Going Rogue so early and then following up with virtually no information for months on end.

Quote:I have no doubt of that - but the question in the minds of the Playerbase is, what exactly is it the do that they are so good at?Originally Posted by Castle
Our marketing guys are actually very good at what they do.
So they get banner ads on the same ol' sites and issue press releases to the same ol' sites. It may not be easy to do, but it's straightforward, dull, and stale.Quote:The truth of the matter is that TV commercials are expensive and won't bring in enough new users to justify the cost. Our team gets us banner ads on sites like Ten Ton Hammer and they try very hard to keep our nearly 6 year old game in the gaming press -- which frankly is not an easy job.
Let's see some guerrilla stuff, some creativity. Get Gregg Dean to draw and place a banner ad on the front page of Real Life. (Hell, give him a years free subscription.) Become a sponsor for Girl Genius. Work with the city officials of Paragon IN....
Lots of fresh ideas, not all of which require a great deal of money but which do require punching some holes in the sides of the box.
Which sounds to me like they need to shorten their decision cycles or work on widening their options.Quote:The fact that schedules change or planned features don't pan out as being feasible sometimes means that their plans have to shift, which causes delays in information release. -
Heard in global chat last night:
In the real world, all you need is WD-40 or duct tape to solve most problems. Paragon City's answer to that is scrappers and rads. -
Quote:No, all that did was make it invisible to *you*. Only a fool would believe that such a trivial change ended RMT in CoX.Originally Posted by GreenPiranha
All I know is Paragon Studios squashed it totally in game by adding the simple feature of only accepting email from friends.

Yes, my rent is paid. I'll try a touch of remodeling, then petition. Thanks!

I recently returned after a short break, and my base does not function as it claims it has neither power or control. How do I fix this? (Yes, the appropriate power supply and control items are present. It functioned nicely prior to the break.)

one for all the Dev's or Mods (which ever is most appropriate), when announcing these ad hoc tests, trials et cetera can you please also include the time in GMT as well as your USA specific zones. We are after all a global userbase!

Forgot to add...
-SSK is a real problem here... 50's exemped down lose access to a lot of their powers, that's not going to be popular. I know about the GM code, but I'm talking perception here.
