Oh and since you are apparently unaware of how to use the Search Feature . . .
Quote:Originally Posted by Ostrakon
So, you have an awesome idea. You want fire blasts to be green on some characters. You want a secret moon base. You want Villains to get more SFs.
That's so devastating clever that my mind struggles in its attempt to form a sentence that adequately describes it. Sure, you could post it right now, but...
Humor me for but a moment. Let's take a look at the rules:
[ QUOTE ]
4. Know the search function. Use the search function.
Before you ask a question, please check the “Important Information” section of the message boards and the Customer Service Knowledge Base. If your answer is not there, please use the “Search” function located at the top of every page of the boards. Your question may have already been asked and answered elsewhere on the forums. Look in the Player Questions, Dev Digest, Developers Corner, and Guides sections as well!
[/ QUOTE ]
Now that, my friend, is a nice piece of advice. I know your idea is so original, but... it wouldn't hurt to check to see if someone beat you to the punch.
Now, how do you use this "Search Function?" Well, there's the tricky part. The search function itself is a product of a world of demons: a dimension in which Kafkaesque nightmares maraud through the minds of its inhabitants. To use it, you will have to master multivariable calculus in Navajo. And some quantum physics, but that'll breeze by after four semesters of Navajo.
"But Ostrakon, that's too hard! Clearly, its difficulty absolves me from having to follow the rules, allowing me to post the fourth thread about power customization today!"
Yeah, you would say that. Well, kiddo, I'm not letting you off the hook. But it's okay, I learned the Navajo so you won't have to.
Let me introduce you to Ostrakon's new and improved search function. You can thank me later.
Yeah, that's right. You can use Google to search the CoX boards. You know how to use Google, right? Just keep the "site:boards.cityofheroes.com" tag in the link above, and add your idea after a space. Hit the "search" button. Ka-zam! You'll find exactly what you're looking for!
Sometimes it helps to add quotes to what you're searching for. For example, you might be searching for "power customization" or "Pyre Mastery for Scrappers".
See? It works great, and it's pretty darn easy to use.
Wanna take your chances and submit without searching? I wouldn't. The new mods, Koschej and Niviene, have actually been enforcing rules lately. Constantly regurgitated idea threads will likely be next.
Let's put it this way. Take a d20. (That's a twenty-sided die, in case you didn't know.) Roll it. Did it spontaneously combust in a blaze of white fire?
I'm guessing not. The odds that your idea is actually original are roughly the same as rolling a d20 and having it come up "deific flames." Which is pretty low, to say the least.
Know the search function.
Use the search function.
'Cause you don't have an excuse anymore.
This thread just happens to be stickied by the Mods for everyone to use in this very section of the forums.
Glad I could be of help.
You're welcome.

This is a suggestion. He is asking if it is possible for the devs to implement a feature that will auto check for total respec suggestions and block it from being posted.Quote:Originally Posted by CoyoteShaman
O dear lords of Kobol. Can they please do something to the forums to make it auto-check for this question and just make it impossible to post? Please? Or something?
At no point did Coyote address you or attack you in any way.
Here Panzer is using lighthearted sarcasm (You'll note the smiling winking emote) to inform you that this is indeed a topic that has been discussed hundreds of times.Quote:Originally Posted by Panzerwaffen
Nope. It's a very original idea and certainly has not been brought up at least a couple hundred times in the past...
P.S. Search is your friend!
Wrong. Just as you can post this suggestion as many times as you like we can respond in those very same threads and tell you toQuote:And as this is an open forum as you say you prove my arguement, I can post anything I want even if its a question asked a billion times and no one should be telling not to.
1. Learn to search.
2. The devs said no.
and as long as we follow the forum rules and guidelines there's not a thing you can do to stop us. -
In January the devs gave us free server transfers so we could get our characters in order for the upcoming release of GR. We were able to transfer 6 characters per week for several weeks.
That being said the devs may very well increase the number of characters allowed per server. I sure could use the extra space. -
Quote:Just for clarification, I'm only repeating what another poster suggested in a similar thread. I think it was Steampunkette, but if I'm wrong I apologize to the original creator.Originally Posted by Solicio
Honestly, at this point I'd rather see a Necrothread than a thread like this--an old thread under the guise of a new one. Especially after Ultimo's latest rant. Anyway, as others have said here, I'm cool with new players catching up with vet rewards if they pay $12 per month towards each reward (in the proper order). So I agree largely w/ Forbin and Sapphic_Neko.

Quote:1. Yes actually you did start it because you openly admitted that you have no regard for how often a suggestion has been discussed before posting, and you have no intention of using the search tools.Originally Posted by Suriel
Not my attitude, I didn't start it. You should respond to a post politely or politely ignore it.
2. This is an open forum and you have no authority to dictate who posts in a thread you start nor what they choose to say. If you aren't mature enough to deal with criticism then you should refrain from posting till you grow up, or you should make use of the ignore feature the forums provide. -
Quote:OK. I wasn't sure if you were thinking of preventing people from cherry-picking only the rewards they liked.Originally Posted by Sapphic_Neko
That was pretty much what i meant with equal cost

Quote:Then you have no right expecting anyone to care about your feelings when they respond to your posts. You get back what you give. So if you come here with an attitude your going to get it back in full measure.Originally Posted by Suriel
I don't care how often its been asked before.
Deal with it. -
Quote:I liked someone else's idea. Sure allow them to buy the vet reward perks but they would have to buy each one in chronological order, and the money spent wouldn't count toward their subscription fee nor would they get the badges.Originally Posted by Sapphic_Neko
Let em buy the vet rewards at an equal cost
If they wanna shell out 1000+ $/ on one go to get a few trifles in game like a buff pet which is useless and gets killed every 2 seconds, a couple of respecs, icon discount etc.
let em...
Just rename the badges to "I'm an idiot with too much money" for each one.
Then the rest of us can just point and laugh at them.
So if some impatient clown with too much money in his wallet wants to buy the 60 month reward he has to buy the 3 month rewards first, then the 6 month rewards, then the 9, 12, 15, etc until he has paid for everything prior to the 60 month reward. -

It's been bought up a few times before (sword scabbards and quivers of arrows being probably the most requested). The primary issue with those sort of items is simply making sure they look good with every body type and animation in the game. In particular quivers (like jetpacks, another common request) run into problems due to the fact that character's backs are not all in the same place so for some bodies they end up getting partially buried in the character's back. Scabbards run into similar issues where certain leg based animations can cause clipping as can characters with wide hips and armored tops.
A work around some people use for RP sessions is to get weapon based temp powers and use those.
Oh i see now. I misread what he was asking for. My bad. -
Maybe you are unaware of this but every single character has access to both the pistol and the police baton that appear on the PD Officer Belt regardless of archetype, and power-sets. Players merely have to do what is required to get them.
The pistol is a temp power recipe, and the police baton is a day job rechargeble temp power.
Police Chief Accolade
Baton Baton Power: Melee Minor DMG (Smashing) Foe Stun
Your authority gained from working in both law enforcement and for the city government has earned you usage of a Baton. Foes struck in melee combat with this weapon will suffer minor damage, but each strike has a high chance of disorienting the target.
Additional uses of this power can be earned by logging out in either City Hall or a Police Station. Damage: Minor, Recharge: Very Fast
Revolver
See also: Temp Power: Revolver
Salvage required: Polycarbon, Boresight
Crafting price: 500 Inf
Damage inflicted: 130.21 Lethal at Level 50.
30 Uses -
Quote:They can also get Valkyrie Wings at level 1 if the buy the Mac Edition or Mack special item pack.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Bat wings, Cherub wings, Bone, Burned, Tech - think I'm missing one. That +Salvage +little bit of INF = wings at level 1.

Superficial resemblance, mostly due to him being silver and one of the colors on the rest of his outfit being red. If you changed the black and red to, say, blue and white the resemblance would drop off quite a bit.

Quote:While I don't mind an inf sink, the problem with making it too high is that the only people who will be able to afford it will be the serious marketeers. So if the sink is gonna be that steep there should be an alternative available for the more casual players.Originally Posted by all_hell
Yeah, prob'ly, but I'd rather see a big-*** inf sink

Check your master account to see if you are showing an Aion account. NCSoft has a security bug they've been downplaying that gives people access to another customers account when they try to login to their own account. So it's possible someone set up an account posing as you.

Quote:Exactly what is this "traditional" way you speak of? I know of no such animal. Base builders design bases based on what they personally feel is important and that varies from person to person.Originally Posted by Vostock
Who else wants the ability to select a standardized, functional supergroup base from smallest to largest right away, up-front that automatically auto-builds features as the right amount of items and prestige are earned without having to do this manually each and every step of the way? This option would allow both new and long time players to have the choice to either build their sg the traditional way; or select from pre-built configurations upfront that are auto-built when required items and prestige are earned. I know I do!

Quote:I've been mentioning the floor tile idea in threads every couple of months for years. At the very least just give us a bottom side to the large white floor tile. But what I would love to see them do is reskin that floor tile with the normal base ceiling and floor patterns so we can build levels that aren't obvious when looked at. It would make secret/concealed rooms much easier to make.Originally Posted by Dave_67
I know that about a year ago, I saw a post from someone asking if we could have floor and wall/doorway units in various sizes and shapes, so that we didn't have to use multiple desks and bookcases. For instance, if using desks for upper floors - needed if you don't want anyone being able to see up from a lower floor, like you can with the tile floor - it works out to a maximum of 32 desks per 'base square' per level.

While I wouldn't mind the ability to change a few of my SG names (Ones I inherited) I'm gonna take the other side for the sake of discussion.
Quote:SGs carry names forward that can become simply inappropriate to their members.
1. Many if not most SG's are comprised of many members and they may not agree with changing the name.
2. People also get into stupid, petty arguments and someone in authority might use a name change to anger another party. Hell the forums has already seen one person who decided to quit the game and he kicked every member out of his large SG and deleted everything just because he could and he wanted to be a jerk.
3. Sometimes real life issues interfere with game play and leadership may fall to someone that isn't as trustworthy as members thought and being able to change the name would mean he could kick everyone and steal the SG and all it's aquired loot for himself.
No it doesn't. Building up an SG is only as difficult as the SG members choose make it. This game has an overabundence of Inf which can easily be converted to prestige.Quote:It takes a long, long time to build a base when there's only a few, or even one, active member.
Quote:We shouldn't have to abandon the old SG and its base just to gain a name change: we never get all that prestige back, or the stored goodies on the cluttered shelves.
Now this is just a flat out falsehood. You don't need to abandon an SG because you don't like the name anymore.
An SG can easily be used as a secure bank/storage facility and members can each leave a single character in it to serve as bankers/mules. You can use the email system to safely transfer things into and out of storage while the new SG is being built up.
People also regularly buy and sell SG's to other players. Sometimes they even hold sales here on the forums. Simply sell the damn thing and use the Inf to buy prestige for you new SG.
Edit: Deleted following incorrect statement "Hell a storage SG doesn't even have any rent because storage bins don't incur a rent fee." -

I just watched the video and all I saw was what looked like the visual effect of a power that was activated. The gloves weren't glowing when the scene started. They started glowing after the fight began. It looked like a defense power of some sort in response to the hero attacking.
Power Customization isn't just for players. The devs can use it when they make new opponents. -
I think we're better off that the OP quit. I can just imagine how he'd be overreacting when he logs in or out and sees the game updating because new stuff was added to the game. Like the update they do when a new issue is going to be released.

Quote:No. The email feature is a minor QoL that is nice to have but wasn't necessary to play the game. It doesn't encourage or discourage hoarding, it just removes the necessity of involving third parties, or activating a second account.Originally Posted by ChaosExMachina
Yes, because having more IOs after respec will cause more hoarding than having them locked and thus forced to be hoarded.
I think you are debating the email feature, not IO respecs.
If you wanted to dispute my argument you should have accused me of debating Base Storage capacity because each base can have up to 18 enhancement storage bins which can each hold 100 enhancements for a total hoarding capacity of 1800. And players can have as many bases as they have characters.
I think it's obvious that your worried that the devs may decide to implement a more permanent equipment binding feature.
even tho for the past 6 years they have been telling us that all enhancements are locked into powers once slotted.Quote:Originally Posted by ChaosExMachina
The only potential negative to me is the precedent of equip binding existing.
