  3. Dont get me wrong I want them to take time and get it right. I have just never understood why you would give any kind of time frame if you dont think you can meet that deadline.
  4. Did August 17th get moved to July?
  5. This argument is exactly why I use two builds. Going run a TF as the main tank? Switch to "team" build with taunt and beefed up Defense/Resist. Going to run with one or two friends? switch to "solo(or whatever you want to call it)" build that has a little more damage and no taunt.

    Both are equally fun to play and do what they are intended. The answer to the original question that has been stated many times in this thread is: Build for what you intend to do. If you plan on tanking for an 8 person team and effectively hold aggro, then you may want to take taunt if you dont have a lot of auras or quick attack chain. You really dont know if you can effectively hold aggro until you try it out.

    Last and defintely not least, have fun. This is a game, not a combat simulator. If you arent having fun, you are doing it wrong!
  6. This is off topic, but did CoX used to publish the number of subscribers that they had? I thought I remembered numbers being published, but that could have been speculative. Anyone else remember that?
  7. I agree with the OP(at least as far as the need for advertising goes). If we dont see where the advertising dollars are being spent then it pretty much means they are not being spent that well. I am surprised that I do not see this wonderful game advertised in comics and comic publications more. A long time comic book store owner asks me every now and again if I still play "That superhero online game". I always answer yes. To this day he has not seen an ad for the game save one that was in Wizard about 8 months before launch.
  8. Still not seing the line connecting "mutant" and the costume sets we are getting. Maybe its just me though. I must have read different comics as a youngster than others.
  9. Not what I envisioned for the Mutant Pack at all. Don't like either one of them. But hey, one man junk is another man's treasure so I'm sure they appeal to a lot of people. Maybe they are some other costumes that are going in. Doubt it but you never know.
  10. Maybe we can help the OP out. I have numerous toons that have a bunch of halloween salvage. I would be willing to part with some to help the OP out. I could email it to the OPs toons and they could turn it in trying to trigger an event by themselves. Just a thought.
  11. I am going to use the same tool the Massively writer used, a guess. I guess that there are 87,342.78 subscribers. Yes this in fact means that there is .78 of a person subscribing to the game!

    Please feel free to discuss the future of the game whilst using my exactly perfect metric of measuring the number of subs that it has.

    Fine. Alternate suggestion. Retool the ability to pick veteran rewards just to costume pieces. Leave everything else as-is. That way new players don't have to wait for boxing gloves or something, and vets have something more than respecs and icon tokens to look foreward to. As the system is currently, devs can't introduce new vet costume pieces without upsetting players who just recently purchased the game. Tweaking the costume rewards would help that without "ruining" the system. That was what I was trying to adress. Finding a way to reward 78 month vets without upsetting the 24 monthers.

    Is -that- better? D:
    What do the 24 month vets have to be upset about? I had to wait 72 months for my 72 month vet reward, why shouldn't they?

    and the 2nd issue is the fact out of all the other questions you picked this one like your doing us a favor?

    who picked this question ..this question should have been ignored ..i had 2 better questions then that. and you wonder why the playerbase is dead
    I wish someone would have told me I was dead before I got up this morning!
  14. Weapons worn on the back/hip/etc. Quivers, holsters, scabbards, etc. More animal/beast options. Robes.
  15. Name purges will not yield much until they start purging accounts regardless of level. Starting at accounts inactive for 4 years for example. If you have been gone for 4 years are you coming back? If you do, should your names have been kept for you?

  17. I, for one, would like to know how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll center of a Tootsie Pop. Mr. Owl is untrustworthy at best.
  18. 64 months, not in. No email. Cant get into Training room. Not impressed
  19. To clear up confusion wouldn't it just be easier to say Loyalty People get invited these days Vets these days and Hero Con these days? That way no one would need to ask.

    I just let it go and went to work. When I came home from work it let me run the patch. With the new patch it gave me the connecting.... nonsense so I again went to work and when I got home from work it was ready to go.
  21. Thanks for the help all. I have been a 60 month vet since last June (or whatever the anniversary of the game is) so thats not it.

    Aggelakis: Is it against the NDA for me to say that I am not in closed beta or are you just being a hall monitor?
  22. You know I was thinking that I should just take a shot at logging in, but when I did the server was down for maintenance. Now if I just didnt have this job taking up all my time!!
  23. If there is a last day they will be sending out the closed beta invites for Dual Pistols closed beta? Just wondering because I am impatient and a 60+ month vet.
  24. I feel the same way. Just unlocked VEATS, gonna be around for awhile

    Whether it is percieved as integrity or stupidity is inconsequential. The right question is: "Was it a financially responsible decision?"
    Except in the case of Non-profit organizations. While they must pay attention and still make fiscally responsible decisions, their purpose is not financially motivated.

    Hindisght is always 20-20. It is often unclear as to how good a decision is until the long-term ramifications are worked out. I bet Toyota thought it were making great financial decisions and savings thousands until it got smacked in the face with a $155 mil a week recall bill.
