Quote:Ah, point taken. And I agree.Originally Posted by Red_X2
Your point? I'm just stating the fact that incarnates was part of going rogue. No more no less. -
Quote:So what? GR was bought with the assumption that you have to maintain a sub to access this content. As far as the incarnate system goes, that remains true.Originally Posted by Red_X2
Actually no incarnates was originally a part of going rogue but due to the fact they they didn't finish it on time they pushed it back into a .5 issue. It was originally a part of going rogue.

Quote:Better reading is also necessary. The only reason the devs need to word it better is because the players make knee-jerk reactions and become indignant when further research gives them information which did not please them.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Better wording is necessary there, and it needs to be done yesterday. It's a simple text change. That can't be that difficult to fix.

I am not very sympathetic with this complaint. For one thing, marketing needed to express that players kept booster packs/purchased character slots/going rogue content etc. as premium players. They decided to do so by saying that you "keep everything you bought". Any research at all, however, will tell you that no aspect of the incarnate system is included for premium players.
Is it fair that players who bought Going Rogue don't have access to the incarnate system without paying a sub? Yes (since they bought GR expecting that they would have to have a sub to maintain access to its content)
Does it make sense for Paragon Studios to gate incarnates behind a sub? Yes (because they believe it is their most compelling content, and they need to gate something to make VIP worthwhile)
So what is the complaint? That there are words which led you to think something is true, when in fact it isn't.
What did it cost you to realize this? The time to download the game.
Sorry, no sympathy here. -

Quote:All it should mean is that they won't patch or troubleshoot issues specific to that version of the operating system.Originally Posted by GadgetDon
#2 - If you can explain just what that means, would be good. Is it just "Hey, I'm getting odd crashes on my Mac with 10.5.x" means you get no answer? Or will you be blocking access to the game for those using 10.5.x? If it's the latter, completely unacceptable without a lot of notice.

Quote:All game companies doing live product with ongoing development will probably deprecate support for Leopard.Originally Posted by Winterminal
I am a Mac user, and I also am still using Leopard. And considering this is the first notice we are getting, that really sucks!
Having said that, as long as I can still play the game until I get my hands on Snow Leopard or Lion, I won't take too much issue with this. I will simply request that announcements like this be made a little further in advance next time... -
I was able to locate the trenchcoat when creating a character, but it didn't appear to be available when editing an existing character's costume.

I thought "magic" carpets.

Quote:Thanks! Just wanted confirmations!Originally Posted by Zwillinger
You will be able to obtain the Tier 9 awards after they've been cycled out. More on the specifics for that later, but rest assured they will not be one time availability.
-
There is no reason access to costume pieces should ever have a time-limited availability in this game.

Quote:While the possibility was hinted at, they never confirmed it would work one way or another (to my recollection).Originally Posted by OneFrigidWitch
We were informed that we would see the benefits of our VIP status up front if we paid forward. I subscribed for an additional year specifically so I could get the benefits of a maxed out PR tree. And now you tell us we will not get this. Since I wanted the Celestial stuff, I, like others in this thread, will never see it now, as I will have to wait a year to get my tokens to fill the tree, instead of up front.
<- Unhappy. -
Quote:This still doesn't answer how they will be available once they rotate out for those who definitely will miss them. Will they rotate back eventually or become a store item?Originally Posted by Zwillinger
Firstly,
I am sorry to have been the one to disappoint you Techbot. I know that you've been looking forward to this particular aspect, as have many players. When I got the news on Friday, my heart sank a little bit
.
Silver lining: The costume parts will be available for a decent amount of time before they rotate out. We will be certain to give heads up before we rotate Tier 9 VIP Rewards out for new ones so that players have the opportunity to make any appropriate purchases to reach tier 9, if they so choose to.
-Z
Also, the items need to be in the rewards tree a minimum of three months at a time for those who are planning on using reward tokens from their subscription alone to get them (without having to constantly supplement with paragon point purchases). -
I too would like a comment on this. While I am willing to pay the money to advance into tier 9 (only $30 for me) some of my persistent teammates will not be able to. It is a simple question. How will a player obtain these once they rotate out? Store purchase, wait, or not at all?
I also dislike that all three are part of one costume set, so a player could potentially get some but not all of the set. -

im not sure where your seeing anything about a VIP starter kit
-
This ad is loading on the CoH main page. -
Wut. Ooops. I mean, thanks! Don't hit the meetings too hard before lunch.
-
I am guessing it is not for VIPers, but for aspiring VIPers, but I am still curious.
Also, a couple other advertisements from the near future crept onto the CoH main page. -
My next veteran rewards come on the 29th. I wonder if I could convince anyone over there to round up.

Quote:What is the context of this?Originally Posted by Von Krieger
We will not see the actual prices for the items before CoH goes live.

go lions!

Quote:Perhaps not a surprise, but I didn't read the whole thread. That said, I think higher rewards would increase participation. Anyways, I only came in to give my standpoint, not to participate in the larger discussion or to try to obtain consensus.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
Then I suggest you read this thread again, as players have said that even raising the rewards won't convince them to play Keyes.

Quote:I don't think players run it because the rewards don't match the time investment (compared to BAF or LAM). I don't think fun is the issue. It's rewards and player attitude.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
So what are you willing to give up so that more people will consider it "fun" to run it?
Keeping it the way it is seems to be a losing battle because you will not get players to participate in the trial by keeping it the way it is. -
Personally, I really enjoy Keyes, just wish people would run it more often. The only problems I find are some oddities in the boss fight (such as being struck during the time freeze and the difficulty in telling who is affected by what).
