Yeah you are so trapped in a build you can't change.

Yeah it's not like you can't choose the same powers and slots on the first one or two respecs so you don't lose anything while pulling off 10 enhancements at a time, and then with the last respec choose the final build you actually want.

You can start buying the Holiday Respecs (for only 500 Candy Canes each) in a week or two when the Winter event starts.

Don't se much harm there.

More costume choices are always good.

Seems good.

Character slots:

It's far too easy to get a character to level 50 so this probably will never happen.

Been asked for before with no success.

Paragon Story Arcs:

Seems to be a contradiction in what you want here. You want to stay a long time in each zone but you want the same mad dash to level up as the Praetorian arcs. Biggest complaint I see about Praetorian arcs is how people outlevel storyarcs so fast.

Gonna have to /unsign this one.

More emotes is always good but you should be aware we aren't allowed to mention other games by name. Even games made by NCSoft. If the Mods see it they will mod the post.

Game Areas:

An underwater zone has been shot down by the devs (BaBs in particular) stating it would take years and ultimately look stupid. His words.



Energy Blast was originally the games water based powerset but they changed the name during Beta Testing.

See the Moon Hazard Zone thread

It's a great thread.

Initially Cryptic and then later NCSoft/Paragon Studios. Don't like it? Then make your own MMO.

Yep.

Yes he would. Trapdoor is an arrogant S.O.B. and wrongly assumes that all heroes are insignificant pipsqueaks he can squash like a bug. So as a matter of pride he will deliberately walk away from his source of healing just to prove that he can turn you into a red smear without any assistance.

Neener neener neener.

Be my guest. It's not often I say something people like.

This. The game isn't responsible for the poor power and slotting choices made by the OP.

Simplest solution. Don't add any slots to those 4 powers until later. The single free slot that comes with each power already makes a huge difference at low levels.

Most players prefer working on a Travel power pool first and didn't even bother with Fitness until after level 14 because Stamina didn't open up until 20. So most people are used to playing without that set at low levels and appreciate the boost the single slots in Fitness gives them at low levels.

No one is forced to make stupid power/slotting choices. They have the option of making intelligent ones instead. If you find taking too many attack/defensive powers detrimental then don't choose them. There are other powers you can take that you can leave one slotted.

Teleport Friend
Teleport Foe
Grant Invisibility
Hover
Maneuvers
Assault
Aid Other
Stimulant
Challange
Provoke

Just to name a few. This isn't rocket science. Or as more blunt people might say, learn to play.


Top men in the field of science have discovered a direct correlation between people that don't like inherent Fitness and people that spend way too much time door sitting in AE missions.

And yet despite all the warnings that are given about things in the game we still get plenty of people complaining that they didn't know the consequenses that would result from their actions.

And while we may find it funny to watch the morons have their hissy fits when their own willful ignorance comes back to bite them on the ***, it's those same loudmouthed whiners that drive away potential customers with their negative comments on other gamesites.

We also have the ability to create up to 396 characters per account so we have plenty of room to make new characters without killing off our characters.

The devs only rarely ever flat out say "no" to something, and my only . . . uhm . . . gripe? is when people point to things where the devs have said "We can't do it now (for whatever reason) but we'd like to do it someday." and claim that is an example of the devs saying "no" and then they changed their minds.

They didn't change their minds. They were always open to those ideas but couldn't implement immediately. (Market merger, Power Customisation, Global emails, Sideswitching, alternate power animations)

If you want an example of something the devs have actually said "no" to and later changed their minds on then use Fitness becoming inherent as the example.

No, because what Sharker posted was not a one word response. He provided information the devs themselves gave us on this very topic and referred people to a useful forum tool.

I want my fire breath attacks to look like this.




Flaming Fart Attack!

It's because Squids are ickey and get slime and ink all over the controls.

The video ads CoH had Roosterteeth make were about Captain Dynamic.



His big catchphrase was "Press my Awesome! button."

So I don't think NCSoft cares about Captain Awesome.

As much as I want to shift a handful of characters around myself to better manage my solo SG's, why haven't you simply been making new characters on other servers? Leveling is ridiculously easy nowdays especially when combined with super sidekicking.

You don't need free transfers to "explore" other servers.

When did the devs ever say no to merging the markets? As I recall they always said that they'd like to do it but they needed to wait until they resolved some ingame economy issues.

The only thing they ever said "no" to that they later changed their minds about was making Fitness inherent.

I love Bill's explanations but this one time I have a crtiticism. I think he should have put the Devs response at the top. There are too many people that won't bother to read the whole thing and will go off on a rant about the other stuff.

But I know they'll still go off on their rants.

No he isn't. The part about the OP not having a suggestion is correct. All the OP has posted is that he wants the IO system changed. Now I wouldn't go so far as to call it a rant, but just saying he thinks it should be changed isn't a suggestion.
