Quote:In the patch notesOriginally Posted by Stormistress
Thank you for posting this thread.
My question was slightly different, and I have already sent to Support for a reply. Please understand that I intend to buy the GR expansion as soon as I am able.
In the mean time, I thought I'd enjoy the new Issue-18 content. So, after spending several hours on a couple of characters running Alignment missions, I was ready to switch my Stalker to Rogue status. Imagine my surprise when I am informed that I must purchase the GR expansion, and they even give me a pop-up window to buy it on the spot.
Now, its all well and good if I need GR to change alignments. However, there is no mention in the Issue-18 patch notes that I must have GR to switch, and what's the point of having me run the new Tip content when I can't switch without it. Would have been nice to let me know when I tried to run the first Tip mission.
Seems a bit odd to title the Issue-18 update "Shades of Gray" when there's nothing gray about it. Just my two cents.

Issue 18 and Going Rogue are upon us and unsurprisingly, we have huuuge patch notes ready for your reading pleasure!
Some of the main changes/improvements that will be available on the live servers will make your life much easier, such as the Market merge, the Pop help system and the Team Search revamping. Other additions will provide you with an infinitely more exciting game experience such as the Cathedral of Pain, and the Tip system for instance. If you've purchased Going Rogue, you'll get brand new zones to explore, new enemy factions to subjugate, new storylines to follow, and of course the possibility to redeem your villains or go rogue with your heroes.
Due to the sheer number of changes and new features being introduced with this update, we really recommend you familiarize yourselves with the Issue 18 as well as the Going Rogue patch notes, even if you haven't acquired Going Rogue yet. Some features implemented in Going Rogue will affect heroes and villains in Paragon city and the Rogue Isles regardless of whether you have the expansion or not. -

I don't care about the noise and effects at the market, but if I could have a market terminal in my base right next to my salvage storage and invention worktable, that would be sweet.

Lock a character at 30 and roll tips.

I've tried this, got three tip missions, then went back for an hour and didn't get any. Is that a bug?
If not, then not a bug just the evil RNG. Once I got through my 4 tips in about 20 minutes then played 2 hours for the next tip to drop. On the plus side I was killing bosses in paper missions and I got 3 rare recipes I wanted. -

Honestly I'd expect you to get trouble from a Praetorian Loyalist more than a Paragon Hero. Sounds like he was too dense to RP.

Or the Dr. Zoidberg approach. Say to him/her, "your roleplaying is bad and you should feel bad." -

CoH is a great game, but you can't just play the same stuff over and over forever. There has to be new stuff coming out all the time. You guys are too easily satisfied, I think.
a) a lot of other people are too easily satisfied
b) some people, like yourself, are too hard to please
c) a lot of other people have a variety of things to do in the game and enjoy it
d) some people, like yourself, don't see the variety*
* You see a field of flowers. All the "same". Others look more closely and find many different kinds of flowers and focus and enjoy the ones they like.
You wanted there to be trees, bushes, waterfalls, etc. among the flowers and say those who are enjoying the variety of the flowers are too easily satisfied. -
Quote:The ones I recall doing it isn't even about failing just that in X time PPD will arrive and in another you have X time to free as many prisoners as you can.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
In Praetoria there are a couple of timed missions where the goal isn't to kill everything but get to the objective as fast as possible before the timer runs out. Timers of 1-2 minutes. I've yet to fail any of them.
It was kind of a bummer knowing that I would free many fewer with one AT versus another. That other one with a stalker would have been more annoying but no less so than other weaker soloers and at least my stalkers could have gotten to the objective quicker. -
I hate time loops.

Quote:My bots/FF MM was so boring.Originally Posted by Marcian Tobay
No, they're not. My main is an MM. My goal (at which I succeeded) was to make a character that could fully keep up with my allies while I was afk.
Once kept up with everyone else during a Rikti warship raid while reading a fantastic article in "/em newspaper".
Once I triggered as many ambushes as I could at once in the Peregrine Island Mayhem mission bank. I had the difficulty set to the max for back then. I buffed my pets and the NPC I rescued from jail. I went and took a shower and got a snack.
Came back to 4 of my robots (lost one protector bot and one battle bot) and the NPC all fine and dandy. -
I was obsessing over doing them the first few days but then I got over it and went back to doing what I want to do. I'll only be doing it to switch now.

You could compare it to Blessing of the Zephyr's travel/end recipes at level 50 and test price a couple.

The game costs $15 a month not a week.
At 15 hours a week you are playing at about $0.23 and hour.

While I doubt this thread will live long I would comment that it is incorrect to lump the entire year's subscription costs towards comparing to buying new games since some portion of that would have to be assigned to access to playing whether a subscriber chooses to or not.
Also I have bought many games years ago for $50 or $60 that didn't get played even 50 or 60 hours so $1/hour for them would be generous. I play CoH at least 30 hours a week but even if only 15 hours a week they are $1/hour for me to play.
I won't get into the contest over how much has changed in the past year but Ultra Mode graphics are sweet.
Email items is great.
Merged markets rock.
and just one year ago we got the ability color customize our powers.
I could go on but you probably aren't interested in what really has been added in the last year. -
At the very least if it could have a "beginner's luck" type of adjustment to Rest where it's recharge gradually increases with our level from 1 to 20 where at 20 it is at the current rate but at 1 it is very small.

I've level locked a pair at 30 and 35 to make a-merits and take the random 5 recipe roll.

Quote:What if we started with 120 endurance which decreases by 1 each level to 100 at level 20?Originally Posted by Zyphoid
Wanted to chime in here. I think the dislike people have for the early game is a reflection of the crappy endurance system in this game. It has been the source of much conversation on another CoX community site I use. Stepping away from the pit bull grab the devs have on this (endurance) system, and LISTENING to the players, would make the pre 20 game MUCH more fun. Shoot if all they did was add 1 point of end per level or every even level the game could be more fun. Pre-stamina is not challenging, it is tedious.
The game dosen't need for it to change, and it works fine as is, but it could still decrease a lot of the hate people have for the pre 20 game. I can only speak for myself, but I log in to play the game, not take a knee every few mobs.
Also I do slot -end in all of my attacks before I even slot damage in them. Even with that, my claws/DA sucked wind like there was no tomorrow, and the only thing that finally made it fun was Physical Perfection.
Or if they added a -end component to the powers like beginner's luck? -

Quote:WWRDOriginally Posted by Chase_Arcanum
The big challenge with vigilantism here is that these cases are so challenging BECAUSE the evidence of guilt can be spotty. These guys, by definition, can be pretty slick.
Our criminal justice system is based on the understanding best summed by Sir William Blackstone "better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."
While this can be frustrating, a vigilante seeking out these people is by definition working with a wider margin of error. What if he doesn't have all the facts? What if he's blinded by an idealogue? What if he's intentionally fed false information?
Will you, the vigilante, faced with PROOF that you killed/punished a truly innocent man, turn yourself over for murder, or are you, too, turning the legal system into a joke?
What would Rorschach do?
In a completely serious note, this is why I really enjoyed Going Rogue was it was a good first attempt at creating that same kind of moral quandary that we was presented in The Watchmen. /em thumbsup -

Quote:I think that depends on many factors.Originally Posted by Marcian Tobay
Pretty much. My definition of "Hero" wouldn't be able to fight Emperor Cole. If they did, they'd be a Vigilante, and as rejected by the majority of the population as the Resistance are, whether they are right.
Are you as a hero powerful enough to defeat Cole? What about the Hamidon? Are you powerful enough that with some other supers' help you could defeat them?
So there you are all powerful helping people in need. What does Cole do?
One thing that I've realized since we had City of Villains added is that villains initiate trouble. Heroes respond to trouble. Even a pro-active response to a coming issue still needed that coming issue.
It seems to me that with enough power you as a superhero would become the hero the people need and they thought Cole was. -
