Not that I don't appreciate the extra character slots on my main server (I do I really do), but having hte ability to transfer characters for free or rename them would be awesome.

ALSO:
Another idea would be a Supergroup Rename Token. This would absolutely rock!

To be honest, this game has given me something way more than trinkets, my time with my four 14 year old boys. They and I got our subs when they were six! Yet here they are teens and still play the game frequently with their "old man".

EDIT - And just to point out, I'm glad the EU got their own contest, just irritated that of all the contests the US players get most require some form of artistic skill of which I am completely devoid. A costume design contest I'd stand a chance at, but we never get stuff like that. *Shrug* Oh well. Have fun with that one EU, and may the best (wo)man win!

Did you miss anything? Plenty. And at the same time, it would seem you mentally added things that were not there.

a) Show me where I'm "tying to force my opinions" on anyone. Until you threw a hissy-fit in my direction and started with personal attacks, I was having a calm discussion, talking about my experiences, likes and dislikes on this subject.

b) My opinion, is, in fact, all about me... specifically what I like or dislike. Just like yours is all about you. The difference? I don't throw a fit when someone offers a dissenting opinion.

c) I specifically stated that your opinion "is no more valid than mine". Nowhere did I say you were not entitled to yours, nor that yours was inferior.

d) When you "have 0 experience in the game" is when you have the greatest potential to learn, especially when there are large amounts of veteran players around from whom you can learn. In some ways, you may be better off, because you are not coming in with assumptions about how things "should" work.

e) Much like here, while there are a number of posts in the beta forums complaining about difficulty, for the most part, they are simply the same people complaining over and over. In my testing, almost none of the people I ran with complained about the difficulty. Is that anecdotal? Sure. But so are the experiences of those bothering to complain on the boards. Datamining will give the devs actionable data. Everything else is just speculation.

f) The types of difficulty increases offered by difficulty shifting are specifically not the types of things that make fighting these mobs enjoyable (for me, at least). Giving them more hp, making them hit more, take less damage, etc, isn't the same type of challenge these mobs provide versus "standard" CoH mobs. You have to think more, fight smarter and try new things until you figure out what to do against a given group. Raising the level does not provide that. So, nerfing the mobs by changing how they function, which is what you seem to be advocating, will make them less fun for me (and others who share my opinion), regardless of the ability to raise the difficulty. Allowing you to lower the difficulty, however, will make it easier for you.

g) You do not "HAVE THE RIGHT TO PLAY WHATEVER WAY [you] WANT". You have the right to play the game as intended by the devs. Within those parameters you can play how you want, but that doesn't mean you'll get the results you want.

h) As to your summary, most things are covered above, but I want to make something clear: I did not tell you (or anyone else) to quit. You threatened to quit, which is what I alluded to at the end of my previous post.

Finally, putting me on ignore... shrug. It's an interesting move, given that you went personal (first... I admittedly responded somewhat in kind) when there was simply a discussion at hand. It's the equivalent of taking your ball and going home, when you're losing a game, even though it was played by your rules.

If you did go through with your 'threat" you may never see this (unless someone quotes it w/o the tags to me), but I felt it important to address this type of behavior, as it's popping up on the boards in a number of places. Everyone on the boards is entitled to an opinion. If it's counter to yours, that doesn't mean that people are saying you don't count. It means they disagree. and that's ok. Please leave whatever r/l persecution issues you may have off of these boards, and try to stick to rational discussions.


Peace.

Can't wait for the panel though!

Power set Respecification is one of the few things that actually *has* been said to never happen. Power Customization, Market Merger, and all the other things people often quote as "They said it would never happen but here it is!" were all said to be "unlikely" or "very difficult" or the like...but were never said to "never happen".

I can't really see anyone paying 800$ for a couple costume pieces... Cause thats what the vets paid for it so it would only be fair if they charged that much...

And the longer the game goes on and the more vet rewards that are added the more unfair it becomes to latecomers. So not only is the system unfair, it becomes more unfair as time goes on.

I've seen maybe, 3 in game with no vet badges and 3 on the boards asking questions...

I was really, really hoping GR would give us a large boost in popularity.

I'm still loving it all the same, just wish they'd spent something on advertising.
