Boo, that looks rubbish

Hell to the yeah! thats what a transformers comic should look like.

Of course, its a very well known fact, didn't you know?

They want PvP to play like a musical masterpiece, the rythms of attacks and so on, and actually because of this the interactions of powers are heavily linked to ingame music. Changing the Atlas Park music to a longer piece with more going on will probably, by my mathmomusical computations, remove Heal Decay.

1) Surely how much time and effort something takes to make is a basic driving force of economic factors and influences how much is costs to turn a profit?

2) See Eco's post as to why Monetary value is affected by personal value...

2 cont) I have no interest in Street Justice, absolutely none as it stands, and won't pay equivelant of $10 for it, not because I think $10 is overpriced to pay for a powerset, but because I think $5 or even $2.50 would be overpriced to pay for that particular powerset.

Theres no obligation to buy everything in the store, there never has been. I wont be purchasing any of the beast pack, or any of the party pack, and I may purchase the size changing mechanic from the science

If I chalk up enough free points after i've gotten everything I want and theres nothing shiny on the horizon will I get it, possibly. But still unlikely, but thats why the free points have to be considered, they allow me to get what I want without paying any extra, just waiting

Would I pay in excess of $10 for certain powersets, probably, if I could get them for free and wait longer, then I would.

Its called impulse control, even the things I really want, I can put off on getting if I know I can get it for a better deal in the not so distant future. i.e 1 powerset free every 2 months. Altitis handles the rest.

It has always been the amount of money you are willing to spend on the game determins what you get. Now it is more akin to how much time and how much money you are willing to invest before you get what you want.

Not interested in any of the new powersets, then they may as well be free, if you're Golden Girl and have no intention of ever playing another character, they are useless. Not interested in the boosters because you're happy with spandex clad heroes, they are probably useless, but now you can cater what you're subscription achieves for you, and suplement the rest.... as opposed to being told what you're sub gives you and have to supliment an entire booster pack for only 1 feature from it...






I barely have to even read an Arcanaville post to agree with it, QFT

if you lick you're screen as you pop domination, you can actually taste skittles.

Is the safety of fly vs speed of SS argument relevant in an IO world where one IO tossed in Sprint or SS can negate most normal risks.

Then you're looking at 3d vs 2d movement, which again, is it relevant with temp flight packs, GvE jump pack, steam jump pack etc etc, theres very few situations where permanent 3d is necessary, and the momentary need for 3d mvoement cant be replicated.
-Even the Shadow Shard, those of us with GvE pack and steampunk pack can feasably get from one end to the other with no proper travel power
-as can those who buy the jetpack for pittance available in that very zone.

The free points do need considering, its effectively a $5 voucher for the store every month. And as Warden said, thats basically 6 free sets a year, 1 every 2 months.

Include Going Rogue in this calculation, but when was the last time the devs were able to output 6 sets in a 12 month period? As was the case for Going Rogue and Villains, that stuff was in the works for a long while, and it probably is possible they could put out more than 6 in a year, but will they be 6+ sets I care to play? probably not.

We'll probably see a bolus of sets around launch time, but then I imagine the devs will chug out a new set every 4 months, since they probably take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to make a set based on it's technical difficulty.

yes if you look at the $10 cost of sets in a vacuum they are overpriced, This serves 2 purposes;

1) The I MUST HAVE IT NAO!!! crowd pay through the nose, for what, as VIPs they could eventually get included in their subscription if they waited. More money for the Devs to do more things with.

2) A logical evaluation of the cost vs gain of remaining a FREEM or Vet vs becoming a VIP (plus benefits of VIP in other areas) will hopefully push players into becoming VIP, making a more steady and reliable revenue stream.

So personally I think that the cost vs gain of VIP will probably have us paying out slightly more per year to get everything if we want everything. but not by a large amount, and nowhere near how much more expensive it will be to remain a Free player and purchase on an ad hoc basis.

If you're adamant on saying "Dont discuss the 'free' points" they have to be factored in somehwere, say you use these for boosters, then the money saved that you would have spent on a super booster, goes towards the next powerset.


On a less logical note, of course I would like them to be cheaper, but as was stated in i20 Open Beta, Prices start High and go down in beta, because its more player friendly. They would have been better off not mentioning their beta prices at all, but with SDCC that just wasnt an option.

I'm hoping soon, if its polished enough to show at Comic Con its polished enough to open up to us soon for Open Beta... thats if everyhting was polished enough for CC

to shield our eyes from the dancing?

mullets, thats all, nothing fancy, but mullets.

Because they followed through on that whole "Proliferation every other issue" thing and we're bound to see some more soon.

I was thinking Chuck Norris
