I'm in agreement. That would give us an incentive for birthing new toons or leveling the ones we already have.

I found this response in the discussion: "Issue 19 Launch Update" . Apparently, it will not be released until the after the holidays.

LOL @Skyster, I'm with you on that one, but add a course project to my list of things to do for the holidays.

Nethergoat, you can read what you want to read. But I would suggest that you read the response prior to mine, which generated the "YOU DON'T KNOW ME" card as you put it. When I came into this thread, I presented a theory that was not directed at anyone in particular, more so in relation to the thread's title. So yes, if that's how you interpreted it, then that's indicative of your level of cognitive processing.

Thanks, DSorrow. However, my initial post for this thread was in regards to how players may accrue influence and what challenges may contribute to a lack thereof in which I stated may be a result of teaming. In agreement with several other posts, there are differences in the rate of influence accrual based upon whether you solo or team up.

Nethergoat, this is not about expression or accuracy. Apparently, something I said among the threads was clear because you responded with a statement, not a question for clarification. Furthermore, accuracy is based upon a concept that has been accepted as standard, and opinions are not standards, norms, or even facts. So for you or anyone else to

And again, Chaos, your conclusion is incorrect!!! There is little chance of you knowing what my behavior patterns in game play are. I never said that I personally had an issue with finding teams. But based upon observation and interaction with other players, my statements are based upon that. Two billion in Influence may seem like a lot for people who play intermittently or within schedule constraints. When you consider how variables such as time and frequency of game play may factor in with rate of finding teams, the dynamics of individual playing experience changes.

Until a public opinion poll is established or statistical evidence is found to support your view, it is your perspective versus mine.

I appreciate that you have been enlightened about what my "problem" is, Chaos. Please allow me to express what I think about your statement. Simply, you don't know what you are talking about. You can log onto the busiest of servers, Virtue and Freedom and those comments get posted in Broadcast. I would go on to say that there may be others that feel as I do, but won't spend the time to debate the issue in a forum because truly they don't care.

There are a good deal of players who have lives (i.e. work, family, school, etc.) outside of the game, so they are not going to log in at different points of the day to try and find a team. Unfortunately, when they have the chance to, they will see those statements and may even say the same thing. Don't assume that your success rate of finding a team is another person's issue.

When there are other variables at play, such as expansions, events, the awaiting of i19 for example, the amount of game activity will increase. But when the excitement has grown old, activity decreases. An alternative is joining an active SG where you don't have to worry about finding a team, because the members have their own internal events. Yet, you have a portion of COH/COV's population who are not apart of any SG or VG.

Sharker, then I suggest you begin to post support for your statement, because what you have just done is spoke for other people without documenting the threads that you've referenced. And until you do so, you have only contradicted yourself. Furthermore, the forum is not the only means for communication and providing opinions, people do it all day long in-game. They don't go running to the boards to post their ideas. My idea is for the DEVs, and if they deemed it necessary to develop a Wedding Pack as a bonus to the game's character creation system, then surely there is nothing wrong with my mine.

Actually, I'm not certain that everyone would agree with that statement. At this point, most vets are looking for variety, in addition to further character development. What I'm suggesting is that players be allowed to choose whether they want a "standard" mastery as their Ancillary/Patron Pool choice or, be able to select from a general pool of powers for the same number as permitted by level.

Yes, COH/COV is better by far than CO in a lot of ways, so it's only the selection of powers that I'm particularly concerned about.
