Quote:You know that it's not intentional, don't you? Like they've not used the prepurchase cash they tricked you out of to hire an assistant for Positron just to give him the four hands he needs to adjust his monocle, pet his white cat, stroke his goatee and twirl his moustache all at the same time - the delay to the alpha slot will be as disappointing for the devs as it is for the playes.Originally Posted by KingSnake
Your all marketing department is batting 1000. First you inply that "your" perpurches perk was the only one that'd be offered, then a few weeks to a month later gamestop gets there own perks.... now a feature of your product, a feature you'd advertised, is being dropped. (and it just so happens to be the ONE feature i was really excited about.)
I can't say I'm happy about this. I'm quite disappointed. But there is really little i can DO about it, but shrug my sholders and go on. You are the only MMO "crack" dealer in town i enjoy, ATM, so i have nowhere else to go for my MMO fix...
Such an abusive relaniship we have eh?

Quote:I think the "account in good standing" thing can mess up calculations a bit - if someone would normally qualify for an invite, but they're blacklisted for some reason, but they don't know it, then they might quite easily assume that the tier they were in hadn't been invited yet.Originally Posted by Hydrofoil_Zero
Really? Do you know if the third or fourth tier's are being allowed in yet?

What progress have you made on optimizing the game engine to handle animated hair for players?

I think you probably can - but if you need help, just tell me.

Quote:At Pax East, it was announced that the first level/slot of the Incarnate system would be included in GR as a preview of the full system that's coming in I19.Originally Posted by Lady Arete
Err... Never heard about Alpha thingy before Posi posted this...
Where was it mentioned outside GR about this .. Alpha first thingy bit (specifically)? I do know that with GR the first bit of Incarnate system was going to be given and that was mentioned, but I cannot remember any spesific of what that entailed.
Cause will not confirming comments etc say the following "Hey, I'm in Closed Beta"? .. and breaching the NDA? I would expect such a notification to have been put in the umm Beta boards.
...
*Confused and goes back to my sanctum.* -
I think there are quite a few people here who are wildly overestimating just how much Incarnate stuff was going to be in GR in the first place - it was only ever going to be a preview of the system - the major stuff was always going to be added in I19.

The music's very epic - and also rather sinister too - so it sounds just right
There's also another discussion about it here too:

The idea of a museum interior has definitely come up, and we love the idea.
I think something in the same style as City Hall would look very grand. -
Charmingly chaotic.

Quote:The side switching content is 20-50Originally Posted by mousedroid
I could be completely off-base here, but I don't understand why everyone is saying that since the single level of Incarnate play was removed from GR, all it is now is a 1-20 game.
The Devs have said repeatedly that you can't change your alignment until after level 20, and since we don't currently have a mechanism in the game to change your alignment, it's pretty obvious to me that there is going to be new 21-50 content in GR.
I think it might be better if you to scale back your expectations on that.Quote:Again, I could be wrong, and if I am, I will be VERY disappointed myself, but my assumption is that they are not going to add one or two story arcs that players have to go through ad naseum with every character they want to side-switch. Since the price of GR is similar to the price of CoH and CoV when they came out, I fully expect a similar amount of content all the way from 1-50 that those games had at launch. -
Quote:The number one reason for no market merge was alwasy that there was a danger it would wipe out items and inventories, and that they didn't want to take that risk - and from the reactions by some to the postponment of a small endgame preview in GR, I think we can guess how they might have reacted to finding their inventories and biods wiped outOriginally Posted by Another_Fan
The problem is that most of the people still posting on these boards are perfectly happy with a company selling them something and then delivering something substantially different. When it comes to revisionist history its no different. The market merger had a long list of excuses why it wasn't going to happen* but they all seem to have been dropped into the memory hole easily enough. AE had Posi blaming players for things he was warned about before it went live.
*would make the market blow up, one side earned more than the other, one side would victimize the other, mysterious plan to fix market without merging, other mysterious unstated economic problems that would happen if the market were merged
Plus, after over three months of beta testing, their theories on the economic effects of a market merge might have been proven incorrect by the actual in-game effects. -
Quote:War Witch has pretty much said that GR is just the start of their plans for Praetoria 2.0.Originally Posted by Decorum
I'm not quite sure where people got the idea that GR was a one-shot instead of an ongoing thing. I fully expect them to add to the 1-20 Praetoria part eventually, too. Will that be upsetting that you have to have GR for?

Quote:The Incarnate content is tied to GR - they've been saying that right form the first announcement of hte system and I19 - there'll be some free stuff in I19, but if you don't own GR, then you'll not be able to access the endgame stuff.Originally Posted by Shadow Wail
I for one rather see incarnate plus incarnate content in a free issue rather than an expansion so if they try to pull the "GR customers only in I19 there will be a mass exodus since i18 will come out around DCUO and since its the best time for them to do so at NYC Comic Con I want to say that i19 might come out right after it in October.

Quote:Might need a little more than a month to make itOriginally Posted by Shadow Wail
Instead of pulling the slot because there wasn't much to do with them and that the devs didn't like the way it worked with the players...why not add 50+ content for i18??
1-20 is just the start of Praetoria 2.0 - there'll be more in coming Issues.Quote:I am always confuzzled by the dev interest in 1-20 content? Everything the devs know bout 1-20 contradicts their attempts to make 1-20 content. A year or so they bumped the rate at which we level in the 1-20 range...I would think that if they want to showcase their awesome work with GR they would make leveling in that area as hard as possible but not impossible so the hypothetical new customers can see what the devs have done and to keep an interest going. -
Quote:I think it's just a general sort of all purpose "no" - it doesn't have to have context or make senseOriginally Posted by Decorum
I'd ask "jranger, is that you?" except that your "no" makes no sense in that context. No what?

I really don't think the Marvel one is aiming for the same market as CoH
