Alrighty then, I'll take a look. I was under the impression they'd be added as purchaseable by Authors with Tickets.

Is there a way to create uniquely spawning members of a Foe Group? For example I want to create a mission where the Civic Squad spawns as an ambush. I can create the group, but as far as I can tell, I cannot set things up so that only one of each member spawns at a time.

Further clarification- they seek out magical knowledge as a means to overcome their weakness, and that's why you see Magi and Priests. There's a wealth of info in the hero side missions, if you know where to look for it.

You're the last person I expected to get hung up on the use of a descriptive word as something that limited your imagination when it came to costume parts. You should have read my post before replying to the thread.

You forgot Growth, which was a first or second pick in terms of popularity, but has proven unfeasible technically.

I remember when it was hitting a good 60% of NPCs (or more) across the whole game, does that count?

Here's my question for this thread, since you never actually asked one (rhetorical questions don't count).

Have you looked at the pieces from the booster pack?

In my estimation, if you had, and had given it a little thought, you would have seen just how easy it is to apply most of the new pieces to other origins and types of hero, and have them look fantastic. They mix incredibly well with older pieces and let you do a lot of things better than you could before.

I have a robot for whom the gloves and boots look incredible when matched with a Tech skin. Sonic Vision goggles look like great robotic eyes.

I have several magic users for whom the detailed versions of the Terra and Warrior robes look very arcane.

I have several weapon users for whom the armor pieces look great as an alternative to the ones we have.

I have a character who is a Lobster creature for whom the new helmet looks closer to the armored plating of a real lobster than anything we had before.

So yeah, I'm telling you if you're just going by the name of the pack and the pictures used in the advertisement, you are plain, flat out, completely wrong.

Yeah, these two things were going to be in a post I was thinking of for things I'd like in Ultra Mode.

Fire Stations and Fire Trucks might be good too.

There's the flaw in your reasoning. The standards of our world do not apply to the world in which there is a Paragon City. Heck, the standards of the United States hardly even apply to most other places in the world.

The number of cars depends on three factors:

1) Ease of car ownership
2) Ease of car travel
3) accessibility and availability of public transit.

In the United States of our world, they make it very easy to own a car. That's because in the 1950s the auto companies were the biggest employers and the public works initiatives that led to our highway system made widespread car ownership an easy way to mobilize the population. In the world of Paragon, the history of the world since World War II has been significantly altered. There's no way of knowing whether a lot of the things we take for granted that make owning cars practical and commonplace still happened.

Sure, there are a lot of big roads, but have you ever actually looked at how a traffic pattern would work in Paragon? The segmented nature of the city and hodgepodge nature of areas unaffected by the Rikti War have left a city that is very hard to get around in, even if you do have a car.

In Europe and Asia where the cities are designed to rely more on public transit, the relative number of people you see driving is a lot lower. Same in a big city like New York. Paragon is built with mass transit in mind a lot more than most cities.

So in short, would it make more sense if Paragon was in our world? Sure. Does it automatically mean things in that world should be the same? Not really.

I agree, though I'm not willing to go back and look. My recollection is, we've gone through much longer stretches of not getting much new free stuff.

I mean, it's not like we got 1-2 new free sets per issue for every issue up to when Super Boosters started.

So? If you can't behave to the point you get banned from a game, you have bigger problems than if you paid in advance or not.

Afaik there isnt one this time.

huh?

Warcraft I-III were RTS games. They had an online combat system (free, not subscription), but by no definition were they an MMO.

Yes the fact that they had a loyal following was a good seed, but not a primary reason for WoW's success. I know a lot of RTS players who wouldn't touch an MMO. I also know the resemblance between Warcraft and WoW are fleeting at best.

So if it's really a problem, why are you posting about it here? There's not a lot any of us can do. Far better to send a PM to Niv or Ocho or Avatea and let them get on fixing it or explaining why it isn't an issue to you.

You also have to be there when he dies. If you're not, you get nothing.

As for the petition, you more than likely won't get anything, but it can't hurt to try.

And my response to your entirely subjective "fact" is So What?

Any addition to the game someone doesn't like is going to be minimized, and anything they do like that isn't given in a way they like is going to be made a big deal of. This is called subjective opinion. You may not like what we got, but some did. You may not think things are happening fast enough, but there are some of us who look at the totality of what we've gotten. You may not be willing to pay extra for new stuff, but when it all comes down to it, in a game you're playing on an ongoing basis, the cost (even with packs) is cheap at twice the price, compared to other new games or gaming systems.

Short answer is, you'll need a more compelling argument to get any large amounts of sympathy about what's bugging you.

There's more to Magic than the stage magicky stuff we got (why no faeries or elementals?). There's more Technology than Cyborg stuff (why no gadgets?).

They never said the Origin themed Boosters would be appropriate for all concepts that fit in that origin. They just said they'd exemplify the Origin or enhance a theme within it.

They haven't moved on to a new round yet, and we still have one origin to cover. Trying to say the Martial Arts booster represents a change in the Boosters is a porpoise/dolphin argument.

Devs hate villains! /em protest

jk

The entire point of a pickup group is that it can be put down again just as easily. If it's been going for an hour, I'm likely loaded on stuff to sell off or craft, or have met my goal for that character and ready to switch.
