How about lowering the prices of character renames and transfers? Then give us some reduced prices for buying in bulk like we get for character slots?
Transfers:
1 for 2.99
2 for 4.99
5 for 9.99
Renames
1 for 1.99
2 for 2.99
5 for 5.99
After getting free xfers (and renames) while the 50% off sale was tempting, I would prefer lower prices.
How does cross server teaming negate the need for rename tokens?Quote:Originally Posted by Forbin_Project

I'd much rather see the devs put their resources into developing cross server teaming then transfers and renames won't be needed. -

According to mids, the First level 50 IO in Stamina adds .19 end per second while Performance shifter will add, on average, .20 end per second, or more if you have any +Max End effects.

Quote:As I recall, as Bill said, Divine is a hint at Incarnates and Spirit was an "old" origin that split into the "modern" origins.Originally Posted by Kirsten
Actually, Divine and Spirit are named as separate origins by War Witch in the Origin of Power arc, as are Psychics by Sister Psyche in the same arc (although I suppose Psychics were absorb into Mutation after it came along). Magitech is describing the idea of "The whole is more than the sum of its parts", the idea that combining technology and magic can create something different from either one.

Hrmph! "Hrmph", I say! Most of these aren't dramatic uses but me trying to fit parts into existing concepts.
Here's a air pirate type thing I was working on once upon a time:

Not sure if they're archiving the weeklies, or just the bigger dev chats... or if there's even a difference... but the ones they DO have up can be viewed here.
Usually takes them a day or two to show up. -

Okay, I was hitting random pages in Paragon Wiki, and learned about Krazy Mark's House of Bargains!!!. (http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Krazy_Mark) I was curious, so I went off to St. Martial to go see this proprietor of fine goods, but I was disappointed to find the store there but no Krazy Mark.
Is he gone? Is he only there sometimes? Please tell me he hasn't been carried off by the wailers! -

Just because it shows 3-4 of you on the map does not mean a damn thing and is no proof that anyone is not contributing. Sure some of them could be outside wiating for the cutscene but also you could have 8 others from the other team there and you will not see them on your map.

Quote:El Topo seemed to be intimating that that would depend largely on how the new faces go over with the community.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I'd like to know if the new face tech is going to be added to every existing face in the game, or if it's only going to be for any new faces in the steampunk pack - and if you need to have the pack to unlock the tech.
I believe he's referring to the concept art found here.Quote:Originally Posted by AzureSkyCiel
That does assume the Resistance was planned to be steampunk in the first place. I mean Praetoria seems to be strongly Cyberpunk in tone and theme with super heroes sprinkled in, and one has to ask what point or purpose would steam-powered tech have done against Cole's regime? -

Huh... "The file contains no icons." I know it does, because IrfanView will open it, but Windows XP refuses to load either icon file. I'll try again when I get home. See if Windows 7 might not like it better.

Quote:All this here is only true if you are trying to strip out enhancements which, as has already been pointed out, isn't an intended function of the respec system.Originally Posted by Combat
Indeed, if I wanted to switch from a build with SOs, to basc IOs, to set IOs frankenslotted, to set IOs and uniques, to purples, to PvP IOs, I am going to be looking at 20-30 respecs, minimum. It shouldn't be necessary to respec multiple times to change a build, either from a change to the game or to increase the power of the build. We should't have to plan our respecs in stages (which I do, by the way) in order to make sure we don't destroy vital enhancements.

Unless I misunderstand you, we have had this since around issue2. Most people simply do not use it.

Quote:By waste I primarily meant doing it to add funtionality that already existed, if they are going to be expanded it should be to add something new. That being said, I think the existing pools are fine and don't need to be expanded and I would much rather see any additions be in new pools.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I'm disappointed that you'd see adding a fifth power to all power pools as a "waste." People have been suggesting that for years. OK, so maybe THIS one isn't the power to put in there, but adding A new power to Flight and all the others should not be regarded with disdain.

Quote:He means when you log out to either log in or character select, not when you launch the game.Originally Posted by Jericho
This last answer confused me. I always get the hero screen, but I always launch it from the desktop. How else would you launch it? (In other words, how would you launch it so you get the screen for the chr type you last played.)

Quote:Sort of, a second person narrator doesn't have to be omniscient, it could actually be wrong about your emotions where as the first person narration is you and so can't be wrong.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I'd like to, but whether the game says "you" or "I," it's still writing your internal monologue for you.

Quote:So what you meant by "only focus on the AVs and the ambushes are ignored, only to be fodder for the AoEs," was that you didn't ignore them but specifically targeted them and used an AoE on them? That basically what Arcana and StratoNexus were say must have been happening.Originally Posted by Clouded
Incorrect. The adds stood at range and blasted. Myself, and many others, would run over and unleash our Judgments to take them out. I did this for the iXP and I'm assuming others followed suit.
-
Quote:No, but the fact that you'd either have to break the Cottage Rule or waste development resources adding a 5th power to all the other pools, just to do something the player can already do for themselves, kind of does. The pools are suppose to offer different benefits, and I don't see any problem with that.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
This doesn't make an Acrobatics-like power in Flight any less of a good idea, however, since you can make the same argument about Combat Jumping and the literal Acrobatics power.

Quote:He said he had seen requests for energy blade sets, which isn't what he's asking for, not that he had seen requests to add weapons to non-weapon sets, which is what he is asking for. Also He didn't say it was easy, he said that Alternate animations would be simpler then a whole new power set, which is probably true if you do them as power effects rather then costume pieces. If you're going to add nothing to a conversation other then gripes about others not adding things to the conversation you could at least get what he said right.Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint 01
If you have seen it before, and asked for it before, why didn't you read through those threads to see what had been suggested before and the responses to them so you could see if you could have added anything new to the discussion?Of course by starting a new thread like you did.
You haven't added anything new to the suggestion. You only seem to state what everyone else who has suggested this before has stated: "This is easy.", yet you don't take into consideration development time, testing time to make sure it works with every body type and animation, reworking of any code if needed, retesting... It is not something that can be done just by flipping a switch. -
Quote:I'm unclear on what you mean here. Do you want to make the weapon a power effect, like the sword in fire melee, or a costume piece, like Broad Sword? The former would avoid the problems I mentioned above but would be rather limiting conceptually and the Devs probably wont see it as "the right way" to do it. The later means you can't skip over the redraw, BABs tried that, and, at the very least, coding will need to be done to allow options on the Power Customization tab to effect options on the Costume Customization tab.Originally Posted by Mad_Cow_Milk
As for re-draw, yeah I didn't think of that. However it is energy, not an actual weapon, so the weapon "forming" could be rather fast.
Going to the weapon/customization problem. Heavy weapons is an example of multiple different weapons in a power set. What they could do is set it so that the animations only use the weapon for specific ones but leave the weapon to be customized as all other normal weapons. The only trick I think would be to set the special effects, if any, to match the colors of the weapon used, but that last hurdle probably doesn't even need to be messed with really. -
Quote:Not quit, Merulina didn't become the Leviathan, she was killed by an unknown entity and her power was preserved and transferred to the Leviathan. From the Wiki:Originally Posted by GuyPerfect
Vincent Ross's arc states that the Leviathan beneath Sharkhead Isle is in fact Merulina, who transformed at some point during the Oranbegan civil war to destroy the Mu. Since Hequat imprisoned it under the island (where it seems to be in a state of forced sleepiness), Merulina hasn't had much to say.
Quote:You succeeded and discovered the secret behind power through life and death of the goddess Merulina. She was killed by some sort of entity, but her power did not die with her. Instead, it was transferred into the Leviathan, which would explain the strong attachment the Coralax have to it. -
Another possible problem is whether or not alternate animations can actually add weapons to non-weapon sets. As i recall, BAB seemed to think he could but that the weapon wouldn't be customizable. He may have meant that he could do the animations and some one else would need to make changes to the code/UI, or that the customization was simply impossible, but that was unclear.
edit: also adding redraw to those sets might pose balance issues.
All that aside, I'd love to see it happen, especially if we could also get mace options for electric.
