    /nod - you can bet they will be in the store.

    Positron talked about adding this a couple of years back, so yeah, long past time.

    Plan on it.

    Works for me.

    Some interesting thoughts. Thanks for putting together!

    Well, they could reduce the number of powers we get, if that would make you feel better.

    Don't expect new primary and secondary powers.
  7. Jetpack
    Some nice work!

    Well, interesting, but need more information to really be able to comment.

    Edit - Dark Astoria - as others have said, add some contacts with story arcs, allow access for villains for their own story arcs, top with a TF. Revised zone.

    Considering you added a whole new low level experience with GR, I hope that low level isn't just Mercy/Atlas/Galaxy.

    Yeah, it was much more a an old school teaming game. The big bads were all AV's. Scrimping to save up for SO's. Ugh.

    To be fair, a lot of them go back to AE Beta. If you were in Beta, you had a much better chance of getting a Dev's Choice.

    Not even account-wide, just one character. What a horrible idea.

    Just get rid of the capes at lvl 20 and auras at lvl 30 restriction completely. It was stupid to begin with, and stupid now.

    You've been walking it back, with cape's and auras we can purchase and use at lvl 1. You want a good quality of life buff? Finally do it completely, and allow all capes and auras at lvl 1. Don't make people pay for it. CoX still gets mocked because new players can't wear capes at lvl 1.

    Nice to see an ingame announcement of this.

    Good job OP on actually writing a guide.

    Not many of those anymore.

    That, the prices and the bad writing finished me off.

    From what little I hear of the new stuff, no way I would ever go back.

Unfortunately, it’s impossible for me to fix every effect that causes someone discomfort, but I hope to fix some of the outliers that have triggered the most complaints.
    Thank you for your consideration, Tunnel Rat.

    Long thread on Test about the various changes.
  21. Jetpack
    Now that is a nice reference. Love Kodos and Kang.
  22. Jetpack
    He's got you on that one.

    You might want to check out Test.

    It has? Serious question, I didn't think it did well at all.

    Perhaps on PS3?
