Quote:No the customer is frequently wrong and often a raving idiot. Smart businesses find that there are less than 10% of the customers who complain that result in 90% of the customer support time. And is very smart for a business to cut those customers loose because they cost the company far more in time and resources than they make from the customer.Originally Posted by Shubbie
Really, why
Does it pay to loose that customer for the cost of a single purchase?
Really
I go into walmart and buy a hair dryer and then return it saying it doesnt have enough power, clerk says the watts is right on the box.
I say I dont like it, doesnt get my hair dry, I want my money back
They will give me my money back even if I was wrong and didnt read the wattage.
The customer is not always right, but a business does need to go a little above and beyond to accede to a customer when it costs them more to fight it.
Its not worth having me be bitter and leave for a few months for the 10 dollars, even if I dont stay gone forever.
Loosing 10 dollars compared to loosing 45 as I go somewhere else for 3 months because Im feeling ripped off.
Im not saying I will leave forever, but I have left for months when I felt ripped off or even longer, I left for the entire period between i6 and i9 because the game was 10 steps past horrid dreg as ED was in but inventions was not.
So it is in a businesses best interest to cut loose and see out the door repeat complainers. -

Why don't you put in a support ticket and ask for a refund then, instead of filling the forums with yet another boo-hoo post?

Quote:Actually tip missions can be gotten by any body. It is that 11th alignment mission that requires the alignment system. If you don't have that you don't get the alignment tip when you fill your alignment bar.Originally Posted by Doughboy
I would expect that a character's alignment would be locked and they would no longer be able to get tip missions or use hero/villain merits.

Quote:I'm not certain. I expect its oh 75% likely you could play the character but not move their alignment either direction. IE do the actual alignment tip missions to move alignment. And 25% likely the character would be locked out.Originally Posted by Cake
If I take a villain to rogue while VIP, will I still be able to play the character as Premium if Alignment System is not purchased?

Well the question of who is The Doctor really goes back at least to the Fourth Doctor and maybe longer. Not having seen all of the 1 - 3 Doctors episodes I'm not certain if any hints where dropped there. But with the Fourth one some hints during his tenure as President and around those episodes on Gallifray imply he knows more than the person he claims to be should. This comes up a couple of times later and then the Seventh Doctor takes it and runs with it. There was heavy implication during that Doctors term that he knew alot more about the founding of the Time Lords and possibly the original ruling Triumvirate then he should. He plays with toys belonging to Omega and Rassilon as if they where his own. They respond to him and obey his orders when he uses them. Much is implied that he may be older and not exactly what he appears to be during that time.
The books do the same thing but who knows which of those are truly cannon and which are not any more the BBC kept changing things. Some of the books make some explicit claims that are likely not true. After all Rule One is that The Doctor LIES. And it is very possible that this entire existence as The Doctor is one of those lies possibly a huge one.
Consider that even the might of the Time Lords was brought against him by the founder of The Time Lords and he defeated them.
So really Dr. Who? -
I wonder about that question. It is implied that the question he answers is.
Dr. Who?
But why would that answer be so dangerous? Unless some of the wilder speculations about the true nature of The Doctor are true. But it will be interesting to see where they do go with that. -
Yes I'm wondering how far back Artie can reset time with that watch. I don't think he can rewind time past the point he collected it. But I'm not certain how far back he can turn it. I'm wondering why they didn't put the bomb in that little shielded bubble.
I'll say this that was a far better end for HG if they go with it than just being Janused. -

Quote:Good point about the detective hijacking the waypoint. I put a suggestion that this stop over in the suggestion forum after reading about this. It really is excessive and tends to lose players from their primary mission trail.Originally Posted by MrCaptainMan

Hmm, maybe sb needs to go hang out in KR spamming broadcast with 'FREEBS - DONT GO TO TEH DETECTIVE - GO TO BLUE STEEL!" lol.
Eco. -
It made sense when radios were first introduced but really it is a bit over the top to continually do it. Worse it appears that new players don't realize this is what happens and lose the trail of missions they are following the moment they go to Kings Row. Yes they need to get a radio from a detective, but not at the expense of trapping them in only radio missions.

Quote:Twinshot pops up but he often doesn't stay in the contact list until you do his first mission.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I'm pretty sure that Twinshot pops up in a window as soon as someone hits level 5 - and there's also the "find contact" button in the contacts list which picks up contacts in your level range.

Quote:No no the correct thing to do instead of posting something like null is to find a good tasty recipe and post that over your original post.

Quote:No the game is not going hybrid F2P because the game needs more players. It is going hybrid F2P because that path has shown that it brings in great buckets of money.Originally Posted by Death_Badger
The game obviously needs more people paying more or it wouldn't have gone hybrid/f2p. Yet the little restrictions like this are deal breakers for some. There's zero reason I can see for premium players being unable to pay base upkeep.
So if you just play for free and don't spend anything on them they aren't all that interested. But if you play for free and throw bucket loads of money at them then they will perk up. Because they have made no secret about it being the bucket loads of money driving the decision and not needing more players.
Remember the whole process has taken over 2 years to implement so this was no rush job for more players. -
I suspect it was the fact that there were bugs with the costumes. If my dragonoid guy with the moving reptile tail uses the Paragon Police costume his tail is still visible flicking back and forth behind this cop.
Kind of looks strange seeing that tail sticking out that way. So if I had to guess and I am, there are other costume parts that also were breaking the costumes. -
Quote:Yes they are being kind. I think the logic of 1 month = 1 token and 1200 points = 1 token is the same. Ie bought one at a time the price of either is $15.00 but but bought in bulk both give you discounts. So buying multiple months of subscription is less than $15 a month and buying points in bulk means that technically 1200 points isn't equal to $15.00.Originally Posted by Eric Nelson
Actually not -- it's 1 Reward Token per 1,200 Paragon Points purchased, which isn't the same thing, because the bonus points you receive for purchasing in bulk actually count toward the bonus Reward Tokens.
But rather than count any of that they simply said 1 month = 1 token and 1200 points (purchased) = 1 token. Regardless of the actual amount of money spent to acquire those points or months. Which is them being smart in this case. -
Correct as a free player you only have 2 character slots total. You have to pick a server than unlock a character slot on that server.
Note: And having just looked on the character select screen at the very top left corner is a circle icon with a head and shoulders. Next to this button it will tell you how many slot unlocks you have available. -
Quote:Yes Mozilla is doing something really stupid with Firefox right now. For some bizarre reason they decided that things would be better if instead of calling new updates of Firefox ... 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 etc that they call them 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, etc. The problem is that lots of websites are designed to check the release number and for major changes in the number block the new browser until it has been confirmed as working.Originally Posted by Carnifax_NA
Is there a Firefox 6 now? I thought 4 was the latest? Is this a beta release or something?
Works for me in Opera, Chrome and FF3.6 And Firefox releases a new update every 6 or so weeks.

Refresh the page or clear your temporary internet files. One or the other should resolve that.

Quote:So clearly there is a need for a clanket emote.Originally Posted by Steelclaw
Not to start a rush on the Devs to create this or anything but...
Wouldn't it be supremely cool to have this as a cape option but when your character stood idle for a certain length of time they would automatically go into an emote where they wrapped it around themselves to get snuggly?

Quote:Except that the super tailor is specifically listed as a feature of the Science Booster. Incarnates are not specifically listed as a feature of Going rogue.Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
Are saying that it is wrong to say that the Super Tailor was part of the Science Booster?
Quoting from the COH website announcement of the Science booster.
Quote:But there's more! The Super Tailor is a new Tailor NPC called the Cosmetic Surgeon, located near existing Tailors and enabled through purchase of Super Booster III: Superscience. The Cosmetic Surgeon can modify your character's height, build, body type, and even gender in each of your costume slots. Transform from a 98-pound weakling into a huge beast! Experience spontaneous gender reversal! These amazing things are possible with--science!

Quote:That is easy and the same exact point being made about Incarnates. At no point on those boxes or other sources are you explicitly told that you bought access to master minds and controllers.Originally Posted by N3cro
The thing I don't get is how they can charge people who bought bought all three boxes, CoH, CoV, and Going Rogue, for Controllers and Masterminds. He paid for Controllers when he bought CoH and he paid for Masterminds when he bought CoV.
Edit: I found this out when my friend who has bought all the boxes came back yesterday and has both ATs locked out.
The exact same thing applies to Incarnates. So since nothing ever explicitly sold you Incarnates, Master minds, or Controllers they can remove them from being free. -
Quote:And I believe that this was a serious tactical mistake on their part. The reason I've never bothered resubscribing to DnDO is that there literally is no point in it. I gain no real benefit from subscribing. And if there is no benefit that can't be gained in some other way why bother subscribing? Lots of people feel that way.Originally Posted by The_Prismist
Yet again, nonsense. You are making wild assumptions based on your own feelings while ignoring every single other game that has switched to the F2P model that CoH is basing its own off of. In DnDO or LotRO or EQ2 or any other game that has done this I can play in every way and compete in every way with anyone else without being a subscriber. If there is a piece of "epic" gear there is a way I can use it and if there is a legendary ability there is a way I can get it.
So holding these up as good examples isn't I think a good idea because I think that specific point is a failure on their part.
