Now...5 years later, after we all got used to the goofy lookin thing

I just figured they made it look goofy so no one would complain about it not being in the costume creator.

heh....*I* coulda wrote that FAQ

WOW! you are taking my suggestion very personal. By any chance are you a dev ? Suggestions are simply that suggestions. In this case COH is dated and a newer graphics engine and combat would open up a world of possibilities that you cannot with the current engine. What is the problem ?

The problem (and I suspect you know this...you claim years of experience with the game yet are posting under a brand new forum account) is that you opened your post with a slam on the dev team's intelligence/competence. Most people (and some have stated as much) will stop reading right there, so they're not even getting to your suggestion.

Seriously. I've impulse bought so many games through Steam it's not even funny. Even with the fact that CoH is subscription based, simply being on Steam should result in a decent spike in player numbers....more than a box stuck in the back corner of a GameStop.

Re: the helms alleged "exclusivity". When they were introduced they *told* us they'd eventually be available through some other means. Liquid's been here long enough...he should remember that.

That said, I'm a bit disappointed that they're at 51 months, rather than in with the preorder sprints where they should be, in my opinion. Dunno what I would have put at 51 in their place though....

I also would have preferred one of the many other unique looking temps in game over another one of the 12 or 33 monthers.....maybe something from Croatoa (not the boring looking ones, like the sword or the bow), or a toned down Wedding Ring....Quantuum Array Rifle, anyone?

*waves* Seeya

If you cant see why this was a needed thing to ensure the enjoyment of the game for the paying customers, i dunno what to tell ya.

Why are poeple reading "NC is adding VC tech to their launcher" and seeing "CoX is forcing voice on us"?

As has already been demonstrated by the IGA, they're not going to force any thing on you.

Do wish you could link to your current chat channel by ctrl+click or something like that on an item you do posses, instead of having to do a command line.

Side note: A "finger"-type command (show user last on data) for name searches wouldn't be terribly hard to add (since we know the functionality exists due to SG-last on display) and might allow a nice way to free up names.

If I finger "Lord Soth" and find out that it hasn't been logged in for 30 months, I can petition to have the name released.

Which is very similar to what I've been saying. Petition on a name-by-name basis. Sheesh. It's like people want to think I'm stealing babies, when what I said was, "let's give people a chance to get a name that by all appearances will never be used by its original owner again."

[/ QUOTE ]

All snarkiness aside, thats exactly what you are doing. Many of these toon are their creators babies, they have leveled them up and played them over many years. You come along and want to gut them.
You will not see many of the older players online. Many stay in hide on purpose. Many have so many tells and emails from friends that they delete anything from an idiot that wants their name. I would really like to see your list of awesome names. And wonder how many you cant get because they are copyrighted. or banned due to other issues.

Again. No one is talking about characters on active accounts...except you for some reason.

You keep confusing inactive subscriptions with inactive characters. No one is arguing for the sniping of names from active subscriptions, period.

edit- Active subscription = account still being paid for, regardless of actual log-ins.

You been here long enough to know it's rarely *right* on time

You've totally dated yourself with that reference











oh damn. i just did, too *facepalm*

How ya gonna do that? You've been quite vocal about how you've already cancelled.

To be fair, you did say the same thing about 10 times....ya kinda gave it away

I so love it when I'm right

Considering that Sam seems to be the only one arguing against vil side hazard zones, I think the reason he's actually stated is more likely than yours....namely adding *cool* new zones vill side would be better than adding boxes with mobs, and that adding boxes with mobs would be counter-productive.

And really, I think he's spot on about the Devs recent actions here, too. The hazard zone as represented on the hero side is definetly going the way of the dinosaurs.

The elemental "weapons" aren't handled the way the actual weapon sets are....One are power effects, the others are props, essentially.

The "new dudes" are in actuality the same "old dudes"

I, for one, welcome our new NCSoft overlords

BaB's posted that, using almost that exact example, that wouldn't happen. Options for smashing sets would be smashy things, and slashy/stabby things for those sets

They *did* start on it a long time ago. It's why there are differently colored versions of some powers/sets in the game. They came about from their attempts at PC. That's *how* they can tell the amount of time it would take them to do. [ QUOTE ]

Question: Does the Weapon Customization include the ability to change the color of some of the non-weapon effects, or is this purely for the scrapper/tanker/AR folks out there?

Positron Says: No, that level of Power Customization still suffers from the same “It’s a near impossible schedule hit” problem it always has.

Positron lied to us. This update contains two things players have been asking for since essentially the beginning of the game, not one. We get both Flashback and weapon customization!

I have emerged from my hole to say that I approve of Issue 11 and am as giddy as a schoolgirl.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hahahaha...

Actually Weapon Customization made the feature list AFTER I made the original "something you've been asking for" post, where I was referring to Flashback. (We had players in the CoH beta test asking for a way to go back and do the story arcs of the Contacts they skipped).

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah but what about powers without weapons? I'm trying to get my GF interested in the game and she's [censored] about how non weapon users dont get power customizations. Which IS true. When will they get customizations? I'm happy with the weapon customizations as I use characters who use weapons but she really doesnt. She does think the time travel thing is cool. As do I. Easier to get accolade badges now. More nifty powers for me:-p

[/ QUOTE ]

Take a look at the PC thread in suggestions. Should have links to nearly everything they've said about the subject. They've always said it would be far less time consuming for them to offer various models for the weapons-based set than the mountain of work that customizing the other sets represents.

And Deadpool does make it look awesome...shame Liefield created him...means i cant hate that bastid unequivocally :/

Why should we let it drop? so they can sweep it under the rug and "forget" how important it was to so many people? No thanks. I would rather them remember, and be reminded constantly that we want it and how bad.

[/ QUOTE ]

The point I was making is that they already know how badly we want it. People wanted capes and wings just as badly, and they didn't need to be reminded daily about that. Hell, they even managed to give us wings in a *far* better manner than they initially thought.
