Other than that, I've got nothin'. Usually GMs err on the side of caution. You can open a Support ticket to dispute their decision, that's your only recourse.

Count me as one of those players who is saddened that progress is being retarded by those unwilling to let go of the DE avatar. I can understand where they're coming from, but being able to customize a swappable avatar is going to take FAR more work than making GA more akin to Crystal or Brimstone armor, which already have swappable textures and customizable colors, without replacing the character's avatar outright.

Perhaps making an additive armor that has a similar L&F to the GA avatar might be a compromise? It wouldn't alter the size of the character, but it would allow for customization.

OTOH, if a system were developed that DID allow for customization of swappable avatars, it would also mean that avenues for Kheldian customization could be re-investigated, although as a part-time Kheld player, that's farther down on my wish list than being able to customize GA.


Edit: of course, customizable Power Pools, APPs, & PPPs might be a nice interim consolation prize

I understand what it is, but now in better context, understand what you meant by "RMT Zones."

Perhaps I'm looking back with nostalgia-covered glasses, but I remember a time that you weren't so juvenile and cantankerous. It's like either the years have made you very trollish, or someone else is using this account, because it's like you're a completely different person than what I remember. TBH, it makes me think that you "DGAF", Mr. "CoH Canon"

I do not think "RMT" means what you think it means...

Tim Burton called; he wants his bit back

Edit: beat to the punch by DreamWeaver

Been saying the same thing since the '90s. If it's a bad economy, they'll use the "head start" notion as an excuse to get back in the black; if it's a good economy, they'll use it to try to drum up even more profits. As the winos say, "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" (aka: they'll always have a good excuse).
I guess some people are thankful that they can worry about ChristmHanuKwanzkia already. But not me. I want to eat my candy, then my turkey and then worry about all that holiday bollocks.

True, Inherent Fitness and Fitness are two different pools, with different powers in their respective pools. To make an even analogy, they'd have to make an entirely new version of the whole Stone Armor power set to use this mechanic...

Seriously? Did you buy this account from the original Xanatos or just suffer massive head trauma during my previous hiatus?

NP The only issue I have with GA after some IO sets and taking the above powers is jumping, but there's no way around that without ~ 100 Kinetic users casting Inertial Reduction on you

QFT. I've overcome some of the penalties with IO sets that give run speed and recharge bonuses. Obviously, slotting Fitness powers like Swift and Stamina, and taking Hasten will give you some mileage also.

QFT (more info here). I suspect that this was done to keep just any free account from creating a SG, especially in regards to related SG bases (which take up DB space and a map instance). Allowing any free account to do this could quickly bog down the DB with one-time SGs that might never get used again.

Paying rent for Premium players, OTOH, is a but of a quagmire :/

The person giving you this information was probably sniffing glue. DC would never approve anything not on their own MMO, and even if they did, NCSoft would not have the right to use those characters without entering into a very public, legally binding agreement of some sort.
