Wait... So, you make that previous post, and I reply to it with a joke... And you're somehow upset? When you, yourself, contained humor in your derisive commentary towards CoH... You can't accept a silly little two sentence reply. Crazy!

I am completely sympathetic to the problems with the EU CoH and all the players.
If you really think all of that should have been included in their little promotional video...

What you suggested in this thread was ridiculous and I countered it with humor.
If you'd like me to counter it further in a serious manner to reduce your stance even further, you'll have to pick a number and wait in line.

I'm kidding, ya know?
If you go and post a bunch of negatively slanted complaints and suggest that these truly should have been included in a short video promo, then you should work on World Of Warcraft's Marketing Team! [They could use a few less customers]
So, yes, hopefully in the next part of these series of videos, the developers will explain further about the plight of the European player and their general lack of boxes, manuals, CDs and television stations.
I'm hoping for some information on how poorly the office workers recycle paper products and whatever negative press they can muster to include in this series of videos.

Personally, I commend the EU CoH for not having boxes. That version of the game, while shorter on population, is vastly superior in their environmental concerns... Or, much GREENER.
Embrace your community's greenhood and be happy you have no (As some like to call it) box-temptation!
Lay down your need for material goods and welcome the digital age!
One of these days, the North American version may rise out of the dark ages and join you in the rejoice for lack of boxes.

However...
For now...
Let's include your entire message into their promo video, like you have suggested!
We'll get one of those commercial narrators to say it all as speedily as possible at the end of the video!

They may have to receive Kellogs' permission to be named in this video, but I'm sure acquiring that won't delay its release too long!

Thank you for your most serious and constructive feedback, Slazenger! We'll get back to you!

I think Cole has very scraggly and thin facial hair.
He's very bothered by this and doesn't want anyone to know (In most dimensions, that is).

I only recall him mentioning it'd be pushed to the internal build or whatever. They make changes and it gets put into the internal build. When that comes to live is a different story.
Still, I could be wrong. It just doesn't sound, at all, like Castle (Or any of the Devs) to make any declaration of when a new fix would hit live.

I don't recall ever seeing that said. Is there a link to said quote?

Ah, I'll try that option and see how it works for me!
And... haha, I know I was always kissing the limit that was already suggested... So, I am sure I am over 100 with... probablyeverysingleimageIhaveuploaded!

Hmmm... some suggestions on how to make your images that small of a file, while retaining quality, might be helpful.

I, myself, tend to use Photoshop 7 and Image Ready. With Image Ready, I "save as optimized" to make a smaller file size.

That being said... Most of my images are likely over 50kb.


And thanks for the message!

Just quickly, for the record... I agree with what you said here and in your previous post and completely understood what you meant.
Not a knock on their listening at all. Just a caveat about the capes thing and listing it like that.
I don't mind it and it does sound good for the people who don't really know.

Then again... to make someone think that they never planned for capes on their own... would possibly make them sound a bit silly in the head.
A Super Hero game without capes??

Hehe, anyway, I noticed that and had the same progression of thoughts when watching the video as well

Yeah, I can't be bothered to post more replies about this subject, despite getting negative comments for pointing out simple facts and being told to "cry more" and "gt*o" and being called a "whiner" and someone quoting me and lumping me in with "crybabies".

Quite frankly, we don't have to convince any players of anything.

I just find it sad how much people are unwilling to find some understanding and reach compromise.
It is a shame that the Developers seemingly can never do well enough. They have to hit everything 100% on the money, because, clearly, compromises and middle grounds are unacceptable for too many players.
No reason to be surprised though... it is very typical of humanity, hehe.

For every attack put on people who don't like the visuals or sounds or even the buffs... The same could be directed towards those so unhappy with the popup window. I love some people's reactions about how unreasonable someone who doesn't like the visual or audio is... But the same critic will point out how much the popup is unbearable.

It's funny how people haven't gone and attacked the popup "whiners" in the same manner.

Maybe that says something.

It's just lame and somewhat disgusting how people talk down to others.

How about having a little respect for differing opinions and recognize that until the developers spend the time and resources on working out an auto accept/decline feature for this power... The prompt is the compromise.

Some people do not want the power. Some people do. The prompt allows both to have what they want.
Some people have an issue with the prompt. Understand why it is there and... don't take it out on the people who don't want the power. Kindly suggest and ask for a way to create an auto accept and be understanding of differing opinions, playstyles and preferences, eh? Sheesh...

Actually (and literally) no, it doesn't.
We have tons of evidence that they do indeed listen. Whether or not they agree or take action on such things to a degree enough that satisfies an individual may be debatable.

We're listening to you, Alpha_Zulu... but it doesn't mean we agree with you.

Anyways, you had one thing right in your previous post.

"False statement is false."
That applies to statements of your own.

Everyone assumes that a wizard did not do it.

Only once... However, that lie turned out to be that they were not truly a space penguin... So... The answer is actually No!! Huh...

Immigrate!! (hehe, just kidding, of course!)

Huh, I have not noticed this... Are you sure you're not imagining things?

I've been a bit disappointed in some recent displays from some of the community, but, over-all, I do think it is the best, indeed. Players, Developers and Forums all included in the equation... and, yep, from my experiences, I say it is THE BEST.


EDIT: Silly Story: Back when I was playing SOmE other game, a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away... I used to visit these forums for fun. I enjoyed the players' and developers' posts and general attitude so much, from time to time I would hit up the Dev Tracker and browse around from there.

I don't think I see it as positive just in comparison to previous bad experiences with other companies and communities... I honestly think it's consistently been a much more fun place than normal.

I believe the comicbook culture, and the unabashed pride in that sort of enjoyment, has something to do with that. Not that everyone here that is a part of making this community great is/was a comicbook fan (Plenty are not), but something about that basis, or core, of that sort of camaraderie pervades the whole atmosphere.
I've thought it is somewhat attached to the great bios you'll see in-game. Not just by role-players and the like. From all sorts of players. *shrugs*


EDIT EDIT: Also, the fact that this game doesn't conform to a lot of other stale standards and is a bit unconventional (Compared to the mmo world that became quite a sea of stringent conventions) may play a big part. Or maybe it just comes from the top down and the developers being so cool and fun, combined with being a successfully fun game... made it that way.
Combination of all of this to make it a (close-to) perfect storm.

Huh... I thought it was that moment right before an old man says something dirty to an attractive lady.
