I'll never need to purchase one, ever .. but I see no problem with charging the people who want to change powers so frequently. If they want it, they can a) wait b) Pay for it.

Hooray Options.

[/ QUOTE ]
What about the people who want it, but cannot pay for it? Or cant afford it? It only creates a greater gap between the haves and the havenots. Any content that is not given to everyone only makes a wider gap.

I know it adds more options, but charging for something that not everyone will have the option of buying will only create another rift in game.

*sigh* And here come the Rikti again for a whole week at the start of August to interfere with my game again.

Sick.
Of.
Invasions.

I wish it were one weekend rather than one week. A week's way too long.

Oh, well. Makes a good excuse to go play something else instead for that week. Breaks are good.

[/ QUOTE ]
A lot of people enjoy the invasions tho. Yes not everyone will like it, but like you said breaks are good.

Should be big if they are holding it back for a con announcement.

Welcome to San Diego. Now remember there are two huge naval bases here so a lot of us military guys live in San Diego. Dont be afraid to say hello because a lot of us military types are some of the only friendly strangers you might come across during your stay.

Personally I think server transfer tokens should be granted before the weekend. That way people can transfer off of populated servers level up then transfer back. After the weekend the tokens disapear (or maybe a day or two later so people can transfer back if they work or are in the military or something).

[/ QUOTE ]

Perhaps, since you feel strongly enough about playing on another server, that you would pay for the transfer? Some people might. Maybe some players have been waiting for a good enough reason, or time to transfer servers anyway. That brings extra revenue to the folks that run the game you enjoy playing. I certainly can't deprive them of that opportunity by asking for free transfers.

I have toons all over the servers. I love playing them all, and I've purchased transfers, its not so bad.

[/ QUOTE ]
A server here a server there is fine, but what about those of us that dont want to play on other servers. I agree with what you said, but I dont like being forced to pay for something just because someone else doesnt mind thats my point.

[ QUOTE ]
[color=yellow]This will hopefully also give the military personel due consideration especially for thier high lvl toons when they'e away on long tours of duty. Especially since (from what I understand) the US government is making use of extending military personel's service contracts whether or not they agree to it because of what's going on in Iraq. (this is just a statement of what I understand, it may no longer be correct, but is something I feel should be considered since they may choose to serve but not where). This also takes into account anyone with unexpected extended absences from the game (including the recent victums of those tornadoes) but whom would like to eventually return.

[/ QUOTE ][color=white]
This is the first idea I have seen that takes into account those of us that are active military. I played from beta till I had to leave due to the military. I appreciate people considering those of us that have to leave and have no choice. Also to answer your second point yes. The military is doing something called a "Stop-Loss" activiation. Which states the military can activate you (up to eight years after your enlistment date) whether you were discharged or not. So if you sign a 4 year contract 6 years later you can be called to active service. So far the Navy and Airforce have not practiced this, but the Army and Marines have.

It doesn't match the dates listed, so chances are it was some team completing the LGTF.

Excellent work

Ugh, really not liking the 54 month vet rewards. Expecially since we cannot re pick a power we picked earlier. So, basicly the 54 month reward is the power we didnt want at 12 months or 33 months....

[/ QUOTE ]
Well gee since you put it that way... Oh wait there is no real other way to look at it :P

[ QUOTE ]
I prefer having them give you the option of which reward to take at each increment

[/ QUOTE ]
Very good idea. It allows each character to be different and makes recylcing rewards a little bit easier.

[ QUOTE ]
Player created content... hrm, I seem to recall someone suggesting CoH should add this. Someone that got shouted down by forum trolls, that player created content would never work. Funny how things change. =)

[/ QUOTE ]
Actually I remember a big flame war being that player content would only lead to in game PvP like other MMOs

Getting all of the preorder helms is a good idea, but then again people said I was strange when I liked the idea of the pre order sprint vet reward

[ QUOTE ]
Was running my AR/Storm Corr last night, and the party was annoyed at things fleeing. Finally one of the Stalkers asks,

"Can't you make the wind blow in the OTHER direction?"

Soft control is tricky to use when things are fleeing, and while I tried orbiting mobs and using gale from the other side to some success, it's just plain awkward when things run away and you have no Controller/Dominator who can or will pin them down.

[/ QUOTE ]
True. A stalker with knockback abilities can try the same thing, but the problem arrises from too many people trying to keep the vilians there they arent fighting the ones that actually stay

[ QUOTE ]
Anybody else have their extra character slots disapear, i had two unclaimed ones and now they are gone, i even deleted a toon to make another one and that one also disapeared.
Did we get reset to only having 12 toons per server?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, I am having same issue. I had three extras (15 total), the two initial free ones plus one veteran slot. Slot #14 was available before the patch, and now shows as Unavailable.

It looks like there's bugs with trying to make chars in slots past the first screen. I don't think I 100% 'lost' my free slot, because I have a hole in the list: there's char #13, a 'unavailable' in slot #14, and then char #15. As though somewhere the server is aware that I should have three more slots, it just won't let me make toons in them.

No, we are not reset to 12 toons per server. I still have my two extra toons (and one of my non-veteran friends still has one of his extras in the free slot), although I haven't checked to see if I can login with them or not.

I believe you are right that they didnt go away it is just a kink to work out.

Lighthouse, will this Pocket D VIP Pass be handed out on other days beside Saturday? Saturday is sold out, but I think I can make it there for Friday.

[/ QUOTE ]

We will be passing out the VIP passes all days of the show, of course the event is Saturday night so Sunday will be for collectibles if we have any left over by then.

Regards,

Ex

Thank you that answers my question.

[ QUOTE ]
You got duty that whole weekend? Is there anybody who'd be willing to switch with you? I know when I was in I might get lucky enough to find someone willing to switch duty days with me.

Another alternative, if you ahve leave time. take a couple days leave, give them some BS about family or something.

[/ QUOTE ]
I do not have that luxury. I am here training on a new system we barely get off on the weekends as it is.

[ QUOTE ]
Here is a question that maybe I missed. If I only go to the con on sunday, I am active military and cannot go any other days, will I still get the in game badge even tho the "special event" is saturday night?

[/ QUOTE ]
I figured as much, but they did say they would be there all weekend giving out the badge just thought I would ask.
Presumably no, since the event's the night before, and you'd have to have gotten the pass before then to attend.
