*baffeled & shakes head*
I completely agree with Pax. Those of us who have invested in both CoH, CoV, preorder, DVD collectors editions, GvE pack, etc. should get thrown some sort of bone. Whether that is a badge, pet, power, or a sekret fake id*.
fake id* -> to be used on the Balista or Arbitrator in Pocket D
shhhh

I know this hasn't been posted in this thread but here is a link to the newly updated hiring page for NCsoft. For the COH/COV project check out the Mountain View location.
There are 19 positions that were just announced.
For those interested in gainful gaming employment, check out the NCsoft North America Jobs Listing. Positions for "Mountain View" would be in our newly formed NCsoft NorCal Studio.

To comment on the "Thank you" changes, the granting of CoH or CoV to those accounts who don't have it was done with the intent of giving players more people to play with.

Lighthouse,
What is the current percent breakdown of players who own CoH, CoV, & CoX accounts?
Just a wild guess:
CoH 45% ???
CoV 20% ???
CoX 25% ???
Just hoping the influx will lead to more demand for red side content.

Lets get some discussion going on in here.
I am really looking to leverage some community ideas, so lets get some PVP Community focus going and see what as a community will be your prioritized list.
For me:
PVE & PVP build that I can toggle.

Issue 12: Statesman is dead!

But will he be replaced by four claimants to the fancy-cape of the Statesman (one of which is actually Tyrant in disguise), or by his former protege, who will take the character of Statesman in a gritty, dark new direction?

Nah, it will be a Riktified-clone of him made by Nemesis.

Positron, given the two year anniversy, and since there is no badge for the birthday how about some meaningful comments on what is in store for the red side for a present? Just to narrow the focus: PPP, confirm Villain EATs for I12, new zone/island plans, and plans for additional ST/TFs.

Okay, now I'm feeling paranoid. Between those cryptic issues of the Paragon times and the merging of GD forums, I'm beginning to wonder if the two games are going to be drawing ever more closer together over the next few issues.
Are we moving away from factionalism? Mind you, I'm not saying I disapprove, but the trend does seem worrisome.
[/ QUOTE ]
Hmmmm, I'm thinking this not just a player flashback but maybe a whole do-over for CoX (not City Life!!!!!). Combining factions and fixing a couple of the biggest weaknesses on both sides. CoH's horrendous contacts and zoning and CoV's lack (relative to CoH) of contacts and SF's/TF's? -

I'll be hanging around the NC Soft booth on Saturday. I want to check out the show, but I am only there Saturday, so if I am not at the NC Soft booth, I am wandering around aimlessly.

Please use this thread to discuss the below announcement:
<ul type="square">[*] Longbow and Arachnos Heavies used in Recluse's Victory can no longer be healed.[/list]
[/ QUOTE ]
This needs to be revoked. If you want to get rid of the heavies being used for farming over long periods of time just put a badge on them. That way you give the players something instead of taking something away and get the same result win-win.
Not as good as an idea, but put a progressive XP bonus depending on how long they've been out.
IF no healing is set in stone...
<ul type="square">[*] Reduce the last pill box badge requirement.
[*] Have AVs/Heroes show up as one or two not two or three
[*] If not reduced have AVs/Heroes stand further apart so they can be pulled.[/list]

I really dislike the idea that you have made the heavies unhealable.
I used them for getting those pills.

Just go with the speed, and regen nerfs for now. Get some data then decide if anything further is needed.
Please put the heals back in place.

Dare I ask, are drop rates doubled along with XP and Inf?
[/ QUOTE ]
Seconded. Double drop rates! -
Overall I am very happy with I9. I really like the idea of set bonuses to fill holes or enhance aspects in a character .
My biggest disappointment for I9 was not having sets for my signature powers. I understand that the sets with the broadest user base were released first. That's fine and dandy. I get that data mining needs to be done to see how sets and bonuses are changing the game. Now that the big push to get I9 is over,it has been live for awhile, most of the fires have been put out, and the Devs have had somewhat of a breather I would like to some comment on the next batch of invention sets. Mainly, debuff sets and pet sets that do more than dmg|acc|end. Most of the pets do more than just damage and need to have appropriate enhancements for these secondary effects.
Drop rates can be tweaked a bit too. I don't want City of Wings, but I also do not want to see salvage, not recipes, going for 8-9M (for a recipe going for <100k).
I would like to see some more costume pieces like holsters, scabbards, backpacks, pinchers, and some NPC pieces like Widow collars.
As far as craftable temp powers I think a craftable flashback power that self-mal's you down so you can talk to unfinished contacts would be hugely popular. Make it available in five level increments from 5 to 40. Have some sort of downside that once it is executed that you are stuck at that level for x amount of time (2 hours?) or until you come out of the mission.

As you have probably heard us say before, we are constantly trying to bring you cool stuff in the 'City Of' games! We want to make sure that the stuff we bring you is actually desired by the players as a whole, as opposed to a vocal minority.

O Ball and Chain *

I think ball and chain looks the most promising. Once the technology is on place it should be a simple step to base nunchucks off of them. For all of the martial arts characters who wouldn't want a nunchuck power set. Maybe a three section staff too.
What I really would like to see is Scorpion's chain attack from Mortal Kombat. How fun would pulling be then....Get over here!

That's why they need to do a respec! Some vines get killed on the first pass to speed things along later... Maybe Hero side is dfferent??
