I watched Robot Jox once for that very same reason. Sadly robots aren't always enough.

I think it's more sticker shock than anything else. Plus I'm sure more than a couple people only need them on one character at the time they go to buy it so in their mind they're spending $10 or $20 for just that one character. Or at least that's their initial 'gut' feeling.

Just a thought, but I know it says they're for each character in the item description, but maybe put that they're global unlocks in the text on the items list or even rename them (if that's possible) things like 'Account Wide Enhancement Increase', though I don't know if there's a character limit for item names (though from the shortening of inventory to 'inv' I'm guessing there is).

Trust me, you're not the first person to feel that way.

Personally I kind of thought it sounded a little silly when I read a synopsis of what the movie would be about back before it started filming (or possibly just right around the time it started). I'll actually be quite entertained (in more ways than one) if it turns out to be a really good movie.

Oddly it was sort of but not really in the costume creator. At least last night it was there as one of the pre-made sets you can scroll through to get a starting point. Had a purchasable icon next to it, but if you tried to wear the set you got some weird horrible costume with a bald character.

Heck, I don't even want ALL of the badges. I just would love a way to reroll a character while keeping the event badges. Or at the very least those anniversary badges.

I mean, I can understand why it might be a bad idea to allow accolades and PvP badges and all to transfer between incarnations of a character, but missing out on those others is just kind of painful for me. I don't want to delete a character who has the first anniversary badge or something ya know.

I think it's like the iTrials. No contact, you just queue up for it(or the team/league leader does)..

Ahhh. I was looking all over on the actual account page. Thanks.

The second account I bought back in July has those 4 400 point purchases, and since I have 5 tokens it kind of seems like it was given a token for each one of them, or at least that's the easy conclusion for me to draw.

You know, I knew that existed, but that just didn't occur to me at all.

That doesn't seem to work if you have any of the level 50 only costume pieces unfortunately. It gets down to the first one of those then keeps on trying to claim it but failing, then gives you an error.

So yea, I still have to claim a good half of my items by hand.

Similarly I have a female character I'd have loved to use the male wrist guards on. If they were available for her I certainly didn't see them.

You can put them on your character in the costume creator, so that functionality is already kind of there.

It would be 400 for every payment period you've had between then and now. So if your billing date was before today in September you'd have 1200, but if it's later in the month you'd have 800.

Also I might actually have been wrong about the extra VIP points. I should have 1200 points, but in game I have 1650 which is what I should have for 3 months of 550 points each. I could have sworn I read somewhere that wasn't going to be the case though.

Hey now. Breadcrumb is a style of webpage navigation. A bread crumb is a fantastic thing for making a delicious crust on food or stuffing in turkey.


... not to ruin a good joke or anything, but I'm sure someone, somewhere didn't know that

Maybe it's just me but that general tab is getting really full of stuff. I've gone in there looking for something that I know is an option and spent far too long looking for it before. Heck, once or twice I've completely missed it and had to go back to the forums to find out exactly where it is (turning off the blinking email thing for instance).

I've always had a very hard time skimming through a list for something though for some reason.

Yea I know. I have it and I don't think I've ever used it beyond the one time just to see what it looks like.

I'm just saying I thought the pricing on ninja run and the like was also 600 points. But as I said, I could be entirely wrong on that as the last time I checked was several weeks ago and even then it was a cursory glance.

Ok, that's what I thought. I just never really paid much attention to anything but the breadcrumb links and those most certainly seem smaller. It's really way too 'scrunched' up there.

Could maybe the welcome message be put into a much wider box just below where it currently is? Or the breadcrumbs?

Didn't all the travel powers except for rocket board come down? I thought they were all the same price in beta. Though I could be wrong, I didn't play much on the beta server for the last couple weeks.

Chances are that video that was posted a while back (and very shortly thereafter disappeared) was using the animations. Or at least it was using early versions of the animations.

Having seen the video when it was up I do have to say I liked them though. Very similar to actual kung-fu staff forms. I know that's not what everyone wants in a staff fighting powerset, but no matter what you do animation wise with that set someone's going to be unhappy I think. Kind of like the dual pistols animations really.

Well, my thought on Freedom has generally been that it's a preemptive attempt to maintain profitability in the face of steadily declining subs. Why wait until you're in dire straights to try and fix something when you can see it's going to be coming up in a year or three (or two ... or whatever). If it's worked for other games as a last-ditch effort why can't it work for us when it's not quite one.

About the 300k thing. I could actually see that as an expectation for CoV. CoH was a success and managed to gather about 150k folks and since the idea of CoV was that it was going to be a whole separate game in parallel with CoH so pulling it its own separate set of subscribers would make sense. It would also explain the pre-CoV launch ideas that every issue would basically be a double issue with both CoH and CoV content. Also why instead of doing that Cryptic dropped the team down to 14 people. Development was trucking along until then, and you really don't release quite major expansions on the level of CoV for failures.

That is entirely speculation, but even if it's completely true CoV's potential failure wouldn't have negated CoH's success. Plus NCSoft's continued support of the game tends to imply that they see the game as a success and would like to keep it that way. I mean, we've all seen what they do with games they don't think are successful.
