    The above is great advice. The biggest difference between playing WoW and CoH is where the emphasis on content is. WoW focuses on adding stuff to the end of their game while our devs continually add stuff everywhere else. A player here can make several different characters and each one will have done different missions unless the player deliberately chooses to run the same things over and over.

    Those items are chest emblems. As seen here on Paragonwiki

    http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Super_...:_Martial_Arts


    They don't appear on the backs of clothing.



    This is what the OP is actually talking about.



    Currently it can be found under:
    1. Upper Body
    2. Jackets
    3. Baron
    4. Dragon

    How long it will remain there I have no idea.




    Edit: And no it was never part of the magic booster.

    That would be fine with me. Using prestige a reasonable price could be set that a large SG could afford, yet wouldn't seem out of reach for a small SG to work towards. And with the conversion rate being what it is, it would be a great inf sink if anyone used it to boost what they had to buy a rename.

    On the other hand... the Veteran reward is meant to be a reward for sticking to the game. The problem that this game incadentally created with vet rewards is that they are largely aesthetic or are just QoL items that while nice aren't necessary... and that is what a lot of the game's players actually want as regular content. And some vet rewards are complete flops to some while others are great to others... My next vet reward is the boxing set and I dn't see how or where I'll ever use it so It's a waste to me...along with the following 12 months till I get to the one i want.


    There have been solutions to this suggested, like have a selection or something like that, but they people would pick all the good ones first, which i say "so?" to, but then people will start complaining when the good ones run out anyways.

    I would love a solution, but I just can't see one that doesn't take away from the idea of it's for veterans that doesn't eventually just end with people whining anyways.

    I've always felt that if they are going to have costume pieces as rewards then there should be a basic set available for everyone to use while the vet reward is the fancy/unique one.

    Take the Samurai Armor for example. They should have given everyone a basic set and called it something like Ronin, and had the vet reward be a fancy set called Shogun or Daimyo version

    EDIT: That said, there's nothing wrong with more advertising, especially without a price tag.
    Same here. In fact I've been getting more invites then ever each time I log on. I've had to start using the /hide feature to get some peace and quiet form all the pug invites.


    Of course I'll never object to the company doing more to attract more customers.

    1. How long does it (on average) take to get to level 50? Say I play a little more often than casual (i'd say 2-3 hours a day, maybe more)

    2. What is there to do at 50?

    3. How good is PvP?

    4. Are there any servers I should avoid?

    So thanks for any/all help!

    P.S. Feel free to talk about anything that might help me bring me back here!
    1. Depends on your playstyle. As in any game the Powerleveler's will level faster.

    2. Without knowing what the game had the last time you played We really can't say how much more has been added since then, but we are expecting some more new stuff when GR gets released like the Incarnate system which will make level 50's even more powerful.

    3. Pretty much dead.

    4. That's based on personal preference, and if you play on the EU or NA servers. EU only has 4 choices. Some people prefer low pop servers while others prefer high pop servers like Freedom and Virtue. Also it depends on which faction your playing. Redside has always had a significantly lower pop than blueside, and when GR comes out there will be a lot of hustle and bustle as people start moving characters from one faction to the other.


    Hope that helps you make up your mind.

    I understand that. I'm just saying that if the feature is going to have a cost then it should be within the grasp of all types of players.

    You made it perfectly clear you have no intention of using the Search feature.

    Thanks for sharing Adeon. I wasn't aware of the last Q&A. On the bright side GF said there were no plans at the moment. That means there's hope they may consider it at some point in the future.

    To be fair JRanger wasn't banned until after the incident where He who shall not be named and KittyKrusader went on that childish rampage and went thru every thread they could find over the weekend and filed petitions on each and every single post made by anyone that disagreed with whatever the original OP was suggesting.

    Those two pissed off Ex Libris and the mods so much that they got themselves banned and the entire Suggestions and Ideas forum moved down to the For Fun section as punishment.

    It certainly doesn't do the game any good, unless the leavers are the sort of people who grief others and cause them (the griefed) to leave.



    I rarely understand ideas being shot down in just the /unsigned manner this has been (by many). If an idea is bad point out why. If it is bad overall but has some merit then does it hurt to say so, or explore variations? I'm pretty sure that the OP didn't post just to see if they could annoy other posters...

    If you are unaware of it, this happens to be one of the very few suggestions that the devs have come right out and told us will never happen.

    Of course it could mean they've increased the storage available or now store characters more efficiently... But I'm from Europe - we do doom and whine pretty darn well.

    I'm not sure I agree with the logic that increasing the number of characters we can create on a server means less people are playing. I'd have to see some hard numbers to be convinced.
