Very nice. I love the use of color.

After stumbling upon this thread I thought I'd whip up a pirate for myself. This here is Scurvy Jane. She's a DB/DA Brute. Hope you all like her look.

BTW, part of it, is that these are permanent. And will continue to be permanent for any characters they create in the future. If these were temp powers...even if these were somewhat better temp powers...it would still be annoying, but at least it would only be for a period, and at some time, things will be back as they were.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree with this, whole heartedly. When I first found out that powers were going to be given out at cons, I was very upset. Then, I thought I heard they would only be temporary. (There may be a case where this is still true.) And I'm totally fine with that. Getting to play with some neat toy for a few months after a con is totally fine. But getting something permanent that I will never be able to have? That upsets me.

[ QUOTE ]
I'd pay 10 bucks a shot for that. Am I whining? No. I'm just suggesting a future course of action. Please stop ripping into people that have a different opinion than the "hardline" It's really rather rude, and degrades those of us who are voicing legitimate arguments.

[/ QUOTE ]

This. Let me repost something I used in an LJ discussion about the same topic:

[ QUOTE ]
It's like the difference between telling a depressed-person that they have no right to be depressed, versus telling them not to kill themselves. In the second instance you are tellin them to not take a certain action because you find that action (killing themselves) to be unreasonable. Telling them that they have no right to be depressed, or that they're depressed over something trivial, is completely invalidating that person's opinions and emotions. Does that make sense?

[/ QUOTE ]

The person then said that it wasn't a fair comparison because depression is caused by a chemical imbalance and can't be helped. To which I responded:

[ QUOTE ]
I wasn't making a comparison, I was trying to use an analogy to illustrate my point. People are entitled to their opinion whether or not you find them to be reasonable. I dislike PvP, that doesn't mean I think people who like PvP are unreasonable. I love curry, that doesn't mean I think people who don't like curry are unreasonable. People can feel about things however they want to feel about them. And to be fair, there is an enormous group of people who are upset that the PPD hardsuit is being given away to a small group of people. We are well within our right to say "I am disappointed with this decision. I would like to see this made available in some other way. Also, I would like the devs to show up to more conventions, including on the east coast, if they're going to continue to do things like this." Even if we were voicing concern over something absolutely retarded, like the "I want a green pixel instead of blue" I mentioned above - we're well within our right to voice our concern. That's why they're opinions. And your attitude still makes it seem like people are not entitled to an opinion that differs from yours.

[/ QUOTE ]

Back to my replies within this thread:

[ QUOTE ]
And for people, going on about fairness, on princable i see your point, i do, but, the truth is, LIFE isn't fair, on so many more GRAND levels then this... it just seems to trivial to fight over. It might not be fair, but it's a game where talking about, not some kid stricken with cancer or aids or something, which from the HATE and VENOM, and PASSION i read in some of these postes, you'd THINK was the case.

Prospictive people...

[/ QUOTE ]

First of all, I don't know what "Prospictive" is, but I have excellent perspective. If we took your stance we might not have many of the things in the game that we have now, which many people enjoy. Trench coats, Pocket D, wings ... who knows what would have made it into the game if we'd never asked for them? But there are many things that we've suggested that the Devs might never have thought of on their own. So are you suggesting that we should just go along with everything the Devs do and never voice our concerns? I think it's excellent that so many of us are so passionate about this product that we want to make it better. If we had no suggestions, wouldn't that mean we didn't care? I agree that the calls for crusades, the hate, the namecalling, all of it is ineffective and unwarranted. But we all have a right to express our opinions, even if it's in a passionate manner.

[ QUOTE ]
If they sell it, you will have people complaining that NCNC is greedy, grabbing for money, and that CoX is becoming "all about microtransactions". And no matter what the price is set at, it will be "too high" for many.

[/ QUOTE ]

So what you're saying is that the people who complain about NCNC offering things for money are "more valid" than the people who are upset that something is being given to a small group of people, and will be absolutely unavailable forever for most of the population. That the "nickle and dime" complainers are more important than the people who want to at least have the option to access all of the game's content.

[ QUOTE ]
I miss when the majority of the posts here were constructive. They seem so far between anymore.

[/ QUOTE ]

So it's more constructive to tell people that their opinion is invalid and that they have no right to get upset about something just because you're not upset about it?

[/ QUOTE ]

I DO love quoting you!

And I'm done now. Sapph has said all that I have to say on the issue!

IGNORING THE SILLY DRAMA OF THE THREAD...

I will be at whatever Meet and Greet there is unless something happens and Seattle like... blows up or something.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry Bug, I think the silly drama ignored you! I guess being able to turn into a PPD hardsuit permanently is enough to forget what this thread is really about; PAX and hanging out with fellow CoX'rs.

[/ QUOTE ]

When a redname opens up an official "Talk about the PPD hardsuit issue here" thread, I will move the discussion there. Until then, you have no authority to dictate the direction of this thread, since the PPD hardsuit issue is obviously related to the event in question.

[ QUOTE ]
I generally have a lot of respect for your opinions, but implying that anyone who dislikes the decision made by marketing in this instance is somehow being unreasonable is simply something I can't agree with.

[/ QUOTE ]

I never said that. I said I believe (and still believe) that the majority of reasonable players don't begrudge NC for creating exclusive marketing giveaways.

There are lots of decisions that either the dev team or NCsoft in general make that I either disagree with, or which go against my personal preferences (which are two different things). But thats not the same thing as saying I believe they are idiotic, incompetent, ignorant, unresponsive, or poor decision-makers every time they make a decision I disagree with.

I'm disappointed I missed the last double XP weekend. I do not believe NCsoft had an obligation to check with my schedule first. I can be disappointed in something without thinking that that fact alone makes the source of my disappointment deficient.

I also stand by my assertion that it is unreasonable to presume that being disappointed in a circumstance carries with it the presumption that someone made an error to create that circumstance. If I end up not getting the costume option, I'll be disappointed. It won't change my mind that NCsoft is being completely reasonable in its approach to marketing exclusives. I'm saying that with the full knowledge that there is very little probability of NCsoft being at a public venue anywhere within two thousand miles of me.

[/ QUOTE ]

/agree

[ QUOTE ]
The banning of exclusive promotional giveaways in marketing campaigns is in my opinion an extreme demand: it would be an extreme demand from any customer base of any business.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was totally unaware that we were talking about completely and utterly doing away with this type of thing. I'm upset about what they're giving away and it wont be available to anyone else, not that they're giving it away.

[ QUOTE ]
Oh for heavan's sake, it's a stupid costume. Does it make you character fly faster? Does it make a Blaster shoot farther? Does it make a Brutes muscles shinier? No, so quite %^&ching or stop playing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thank god it doesn't. I don't like WoW.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Alright, then how about for $9.95 make it so we can get ALL the Halloween costumes as permanent temp powers? They're allready in the game.

I have never liked in-game items being given as rewards. Maybe it's because I live in the midwest and will NEVER have any of the stuff, so Im just bitter, but when World of Warcraft does it every year, it annoys me because I can't afford to go to Blizzcon, I will never have a murloc pet, a murloc costume, or I think their new thing this year is a Polar Bear Mount.

So, give it away for free to the convention goers, sure... but let those of us willing to purchase it do so.

[/ QUOTE ]

Vehemently seconded. I'd pay. I don't even have the $10 to spare, but I'd pay. I can go without eating for a day!

[/ QUOTE ]


I remember when the Wedding pack was released and Posi made a statement along the lines of we were able to get VEATs in i12 because of all the extra money that came in. They were initially coming with i13 (my Search Fu is weak. I don't feel like looking). I don't know how true that was but anywho, I don't think they see how much money they're losing out on. Then again...maybe they do?... There are plenty of people willing to pay YOU for the costume but instead you'd allow someone to sell something YOU gave them for FREE for a ridiculous amount of money. Sounds like bad business to me (if these items will never be available to everyone else who plays). Maybe you all are just trying to get people to come out to justify showing up at these events in the first place? Meh...

I'd pay for the costume.

Oh and that was QFT.

When I had the time I use to come here to look at everyone's art to help inspire me to get back into drawing. Life just isn't letting that happen though. Always so busy...

*sighs*

I don't have any real problems with any of the new stuff or how it's been put in (yet :P). I'd just like to reiterate what was covered in the last issue of the Scoop. The older pieces/patterns really need to be updated and some of the sets need to be completed.

Off the top of my head one major problem that I think needs to be fixed is many of the female glove options. I'd like to be able to have a full sleeve with the bracers/padded gloves/wristbands etc. Having that little gap where the upper arm pattern ends and the glove is ridiculous. The option to have skin needs to stay but having a full sleeve should be an option also.

Another thing is that a few sets are still missing pieces. One example is Tight Sleek boots. I can never bring myself to wear Tight Sleek because there's no matching boot option.

Things like that, and those that were mentioned in the Scoop, are long overdue for some attention. I sincerely hope that they get looked at soon.

Awesome....

It's been a couple of weeks since I last browsed the forum. The holidays were hectic and work was a pain (sometimes). Now school is about to start and I wont have much time to actually play the game but "all work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy". ^_^ Anyways, I just wanted to say hi to everyone. Take care!

And btw...

Good luck Story! Don't give up!

Good luck man <^-^> Just keep at it; it's the only way to succeed!

Also, I highly recommend that WetCanvas website if you get the chance; it really is a great place, I've been on there for a week now and have gotten some really nice support.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ditto.

I wish I had more time to really check out that wetcanvas site but work has been really hectic lately. My feet hurt...

if you are sharing, you should be prepared for feedback be it positive or negetive.

Conceptually, I think this character is totally unoriginal...

[/ QUOTE ]

QFT

Being inspired by a character is one thing. Creating a clone and changing a few things is another. This is just all kinds of lame IMO. I didn't much like the costume either.

I thought I replied to this already....:? Oh well.
