My opinion? Okay. They are fine, great, dandy. Nice for storage, nice for creativity, empowerment buffs, and travel. To be honest I dont generally use Ouroboros much for travel outside of the occasional TF/SF, but even then I know my way around the game sufficiently, and when I need to I will use my Base more often than not.
Of course, in my VG Base, I allow everyone (so far) to edit the Base under certain restrictions, and they can have an Apartment of their own with Storage units on a per person basis (some have multiple accounts). I know that I am different, and we arent a huge VG, but it works.
Bases are fine, and they could be better, and probably will be... in time.
Thanks for the clarification. -
So, what's the Question? I only ask because of where you posted it... unless you are another of the "nobody lissens to meeee in S&I so I will post where people read the posts and answer meeee." In which case, forget I said anything.

Last two Day Jobs here. 35 days. I am sure there are probably a few people who are already finished though. A few folks had 'accidentally' been parked where a Day Job was scheduled to be before that Issue dropped, and started with one already wrapped up. So...

Cannot agree with this. The Costume Codes are being given away in a fair manner, and if there is a script out there... I dont think so. I mean, they changed the Twitter giveaways so that one couldnt just run a 'cut&paste' type script, AND you have to apply it to an active account. It's not like some guy is sitting in Maine and grabbing all the codes or something. I am sure that the hardcore with plenty of downtime probably have grabbed a good number (if not all) of the codes through spending time on Twitter. Niv gives plenty of warning, and if I had time to stay home (and not work) I would get the headsup on my cellphone and go from there.
Either way, I wouldnt necessarily be against them putting them in the PlayNC store, but I can understand why they wouldnt. The people who spend a good deal of money to attend a Con (guaranteed code) or even follow the Tweets (a chance at a code) are putting in the extra effort. Watch the Boards for people going to a Con with the Wentworth's and see if they will buy a code or two for you... if you trust them. A little effort goes a long way. -

Quote:Constructive is as constructive does, mama always said. BTW per the Devs at HeroCon (and I am sure repeated somewhere here on the Boards); revamping what already IS in game is more labor intensive and harder than creating new content. This has been pointed out in any event, but just to reiterate it since I read the Threads from Last to First.Originally Posted by ControlFreaks
ok, Farming is old so you can save those comments, I want more to do @ level 50 but when I suggest that all current TFs can be played @ level 50 its to make a suggestion for something that can be added right away. to add new features to current content is much easier then adding all new content. your are right though, to change all TFs to level 50 is to drastic but to have a setting where I can play @ level 50 isn’t a drastic change at all.
I really like playing my 50 @ level 50 after all the work I put in to level then and get their sets. don’t get me wrong though I do like the effort they are putting for more content but with all the dead content and zones (hero side), it would not take much to make most of it level 50 so we can have more to do when we hit level 50.
plz post constructive feedback, thank you..
And although there was a mention of "end game content"; there was no elaboration on it, and I'm sure you've heard the old saw "it's not the destination; it's the journey." I can understand your desire to play your 50 at 50, but I have a 50 who I love to death, and play him at whatever level and whenever; he's still my favorite. Different strokes, but I doubt that making all TF's workable for lvl50s at lvl50 is even a thought at this point. Especially since before the advent of AE and such, there are more people who play and stay at lower levels due to Altism than there are 50's, even now.
Constructive Feedback is often just turning on the light to expose the sharp edge of truth.
Also, the level for the new Zones of Praetoria have already been announced; further deponent sayeth not. -
Quote:Agreed. Go, DEVS!Originally Posted by One_and_Only
Cox is awesome with the zones that we have. A few "unused zones" on heroes, and a few zones still desired on the red side. All in all the dev team dealing with the zone creation does a marvelous job!
New "Sites of the World" Zones? Meh. If you look carefully and thoughtfully; there is a pleasant mishmash of 'most' forms of flora/fauna/architecture found throughout both Paragon and the Isles. It is just not real 'specific'; as in a definitive exact replica of any given style (save for maybe Croatoa, but not really). It would appear the Devs 'keep it generic' so that we can provide further specifics to any Zone if we dont like their take on it.Quote:The new "GR" experience will bring us new zones for that aspect of the game. But after that, lets say this time next year, what about portals that take our characters all over the world. Where the gamers/customers can get a touch of some other geography through zone additions or story arcs.
If we read the history of Paragon City and Rogue Isles, we read about battles between supers from different countries over 50 years ago. So I'm thinking, what about story content that takes us to different parts of the planet. Almost like Cimerora and how it puts us in like a Greece or Italy area.
Now, portal missions (or just any mission) which is set in a specific mini-Zone (Hong Kong, Paris, London, Siberia, Timbuktu, Rio de Janeiro, Amazon jungle, India, Tibet); I can really get behind that. Hmmmm, maybe finally I have an idea...
Been to Nerva? I almost expect to see Mayans sacrificing soccer players on the step pyramids every time I go there. And sadly, not a lot of traffic in the Archipelago even with the best story arcs in the 30-40 range set in the middle of the rainforest.Quote:Can there be an African or South American Jungle zone or story arc?
Eastern Asia zone or arc?
Dark Age zone or arc?
Meh. Again a 'Chinatown' style mission map would fill the bill enough for me. I dont really need to see catgirls and gundam in their natural habitat. Although, I am a big Godzilla fan, go figure.
The Dark Ages werent all that rockin' a time actually. And they have a MMO (scads of them, actually) setup for S&S buffs already. We do have 'dark age' style mobs already that could use some fleshing out, but Cimerora was created more for its fleshing out of the CoX backstory (set in the ancient Mediterranean) than to give a reason for armored conflict, I do believe.
Eventhough, I don't have a problem with the look of the Isles; many do. Recluse has made each zone about as post-apocalyptic as can be to varying degrees. Mercy has that 'nuked out' feeling already.Quote:For the lack of zones on the red side, how about some kind of "fallout zone". A zone that Recluse has destroyed in a display of power.
Meh, on a larger scale. Ice Zones are rather drab. Look at what people start saying after a few weeks of the Winter Event.Quote:An "ice zone" would be awesome as well. Can be a zone that recluse hasn't yet fully obtained yet. His rule isn't completely locked in in this zone and would have storyline material to relate to this.
Heavens; no! Sand is about as drab as Ice, and both are definitively 'deserts' (Sahara, Gobi). Plus we got a desert bit in Grandville.Quote:A sand zone !! Controled by Scirroco! lol probably not .
Zone creation is a major undertaking, and so would new map textures for missions; but I bet we could get new mini-Zone maps with all this sorta stuff alot quicker with a RNG varying what each exactly looks like each time you 'zone in' for spice. I'm not 'completely' against new Zones and such; I just don't expect a whole lot along the lines of this Suggestion unless it's already in the pipes for GR. And I fear we will get a 'fallout' style Zone in Praetoria. Oh well. -

:/end sarcasm:
Whenever the "I can't get a real obvious (and probably close to copyrighted) name" threads come up, I always pause to chuckle. In the long run, it's all a matter of perspective IMHO. and those who cant get a 'great and unique' name just dont seem to be able to see much further than the end of their NOES. And this thread is pretty much rubbing their's in it.
And at least I learned out how to tell if a name is 'Being used by a character in game' (Name is in use) or is 'Unusable in game per Dev's caveat' (Name is unavailable). -

Whew. Sorry, yzzlthtz, but time does march on. Just to be specific: the P4 was introduced in late 2000 and it's last best iteration shipped in mid-2008. It's an old chip in any case and from looking in my wayback machine of building PC's; it wasnt worth the time to use in a gaming rig from the beginning. Could it be used? Sure. But the better price point and capabilities were found in the AMD chips. CoH has always been 'pipeline' heavy; and at least the early mobo FSB Speeds for the P4 were stunningly poor (IMHO).
In this economic time, I feel for you, but dont blame game designers for making a good product. If the Devs dont make a whiz bang product (check the GR videos), they will be left in the dust. BUT, thankfully, you can turn down the graphics if needed for better FPS. AND like the others have said; upgrade your video card, and you will probably have less of a problem. For under $100, you can get a card that will work well even with a P4 under the hood. I just had to say the previous bits because they are true. -
Quote:Only direct quote I remember isnt from the Boards, but from HeroCon in which Matt said concerning the question of MM Henchie Customization: "No. But wouldn't it be cool." He said it with the inflection of "That's something we can't do... :wink: Ha! Yeah, we can't add 'Walk' either." So, I imply there is indeed hope, but I can't remember seeing a confirmation that its 'in the pipe' at least as far back as the last day of the Con.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
I can't find the post, but BaBs (or someone) said something along the lines of 'MM Pet customisation is in the pipe, and their trying to make it as customisable as possible.'

Quote:This is true; which begs the question already made (vis a vis DS/DP) and others like; "what else will there be?" Now, a new World (Zones) is enough to warrant a true Expansion by definition, and the Side-Switching is also a major and oft asked for ability worthy of the same nod. I can and will accept it if DP/DS are GR exclusive. I may have a problem with it in my own understanding, but then I will be buying GR anyway; so no harm to my own sensitivities. I just hate to see backlash on the Devs by those who will feel this is 'holding out' on them, and there will be backlash; there always is. In which case, the Devs are already aware, and wont be surprised.Originally Posted by Dispari
CoV had 5 new ATs and a ton of new powersets. And a ton of costume parts and zones.
So far all we know about GR is that it'll have 1-20 (and maybe higher) content, and some zones. We know nothing of new ATs, and only 2 powersets. If DP/DS don't come with GR, the content of the expansion is going to be pretty light.
Also something that Matt said that may have been missed during the GR Panel; "What we do in the endgame will occur in Praetoria." Cryptic? A misspoken word? Just something I made note of to share. Heh. -
Quote:I dunno, Angel. 'Linked' to GR and 'exclusive' to GR are not the same thing. I do not remember any mention of the two new Sets being 'exclusive' to GR at HeroCon; just that the two new Signature Characters were 'examples' of the new System for side-switching. I took lots of notes at every Board I attended. Perhaps you got some info somewhere else?Originally Posted by Aggelakis
Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning are part of Going Rogue. They're listed on the Going Rogue site and they were talked about during the Going Rogue info-a-thon at Hero Con. If they were not part of Going Rogue, they would not be there on the website and they would not have talked about them as linked with Going Rogue.
PS; you admitted CoV limited its Archetypes to purchasing CoV. Why is it that the powersets of the poster children for Going Rogue (Desdemona, the Demon Summoner, and Maelstrom, the Dual Pistol wielder) cannot be limited to purchasing GR?
In any event, the reason for limiting CoV's ATs at launch was because you couldnt play a Villain or access the Rogue Isles unless you owned CoV. If Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning were 'exclusive to Praetoria' then even if you buy GR, you will have to create your new character as a Praetorian; which again was not mentioned at HeroCon. Contrariwise, in the PreView Video on the GR Site it appears that Desde is hanging with Statesman, and the backstory of both Desdemona and Maelstrom doesnt sound like they grew up in Praetoria, but in Paragon's reality. Of course, that last point is my own 'take', but I think a valid one.
I hate to use the word, but it would be 'counterintuitive' to limit the Sets of an already available AT to the GR Expansion, and I would suggest that if this is so; the Devs better say so ASAP before people get their hopes up only to be dashed by the harsh reality much later. That isnt good PR.
Forgive me, Angel; but I find your logic assailable in this case. But I am open to any information you have gathered to the contrary. ICANHAZINSIDERINFO? -
Quote:BTW an 'email' system as has been requested was mentioned as being "in the pipe/in the works" by Posi at HeroCon. As to it's exact iteration and what can be moved; nothing firm that I remember. Wait and see.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Suggestion 2: Despite the fact that we've been asking for this for 5 years the devs have remained firm about not putting it into the game. We can only hope that our constant requests for it will one day change their minds.

I haven't checked if it's in the Known Issues, but I and a few others have noticed a significant drop in Drops of late.
As far as the high cost in the markets; meh, get a lucky drop and you can be rolling in the Inf, or at least get to purchase one you like. If you are almost exclusively looking at the Purples; yeah, get out the overalls if you want to afford them. Or play the market like a Wall Street Insider. There are Guides and Suggestions in the Market Forum, or so I hear tell. -

Now that can be disapointing to vet players but to new players dozens of zones can seem like it will take forever to explore. We have 40+ zones to CO's 5 zones. Which one will get boring first. -

Paragon/NCSoft didn't. Retailers that overstock or close locations sell (etc.) their stock to overstock stores like Big Lots, who turn around and sell them at the prices you see. NCSoft didn't have a say in the process past the initial sale to the first retailer.)

Quote:I wouldn't mind seeing the Hero Gear being available again at the store eventhough I dont need it. BUT you are somewhat incorrect about Paragon being 'out the free month'. The secondary market has no real bearing on what Paragon is or isnt 'out' of since the the box was 'sold' to someone at sometime, and Paragon did get the money that they expected even if the sale was a wholesale clearance as with the plethora of Boxes that ended up in Big Lots inventory. It would be like the Trial codes being considered 'lost money' to Paragon (they arent BTW).Originally Posted by tensionfade
And this is why they should offer the items as microtransactions. If you do buy the $90 one - you're out $90 - and Paragon is out the free month, as I doubt any of that box sale is going to end up back at Paragon - certainly none of the premium they are asking for as opposed to the alternative. You pay for exactly what you want, the pieces, at a more reasonable cost while Paragon not only avoids the free month, but also makes a small amount on the sale. Good for those that want the costume pieces, good for the company.
My real question is: why in the heck did Paragon/NCsoft/whoever flood the wholesale clearance market with Collector's Editions when these Boards have been begging for them for years? I really would like to know the answer to that one. Meh, probably was just some product brokering deal or somesuch. Still a pity. -
