Texas Justice

Really? Nobody does Hamidon trials anymore? Perhaps you missed a previous post I made.

If nobody does Hami raids since the fix, why is Justice still running multiple Hami raids each week?

Character slots have always been locked to servers whether it was the base 8/12 slots or any purchased slots.

You have always had to have an empty slot on the server you wanted to transfer to.

Nothing has changed there. The only thing that has changed is now having a single server restricted to subscribers, where previously all servers were restricted to subscribers.

If you want to transfer a character off of Exalted, you have to do it while you are still subscribed. Since most people know when they are going to unsubscribe and which characters they might want to play that are on that server, it's their responsibility to transfer them before they lose access to them.

We must not be playing the same game.

If you re-read the quoted post of Arcanaville's, she is talking about Positron's response to questions about a powerset respec, not an AT respec.

An AT respec would be even more involved than a powerset respec.

Considering that Chris hasn't been with Paragon Studios since October 2010 it's likely that the DX11 game he was working on was either Champions or another game at Cryptic Studios (his current employer).

He was actively working on City of Heroes until PS did their layoff in October 2010, not a different game.

From what I've been told by several people, some that no longer work for NCSoft Austin, they (the GMs) don't have the authority to reset that timer if you choose to use it.

Well, you apparently don't know me very well.

I've received responses that were totally inappropriate to the reported problem without getting "very angry" or having "a few choice words".

I've just calmly updated the report ticket, staying polite, and explaining that they did not read the ticket correctly and their response had nothing to do with the reported problem. I then calmly asked that if it was an issue that they did not fully understand and could respond to appropriately that they escalate it to a senior GM.

If they continued to respond with inappropriate responses I calmly asked that they escalate the ticket to a senior GM.

I've not had occasion to get "very angry" with any of the CS people.

Anyone that has met me (and there are quite a few in game) can likely tell you that I do have anger management issues. Nothing in CS has caused those issues to be displayed.

I've not encountered any of the problems with NPC captive such as you described in your initial post since I22 launched. I've had several missions with NPC captives that I needed to rescue that either become an Ally, that I lead to an exit, or that simply run off on their own.

Is it possible that there is a small subset of NPC captives that this happens to? Yes. Is it as wide-ranging a problem as you are making it out to be? It doesn't seem so.

EDIT: The senior GM had nothing really to respond to since there was not an actual problem that CS could resolve according to your ticket that you posted. When you file a petition, it goes to CS. When you report a bug, it goes to QA. CS has nothing to do with fixing bugs or even reading the bug reports. That is all QA. You tried filing a bug report as if it were a petition and instead of merely reporting a problem you insisted on insulting the developers. Your "petition" was nothing but a rant.

Turg, you really should keep up on the news.

Avatea hasn't been with Paragon Studios since December.

You'll have to settle for Dink, Tunnel Rat, War Witch or Doc Delilah if you are insisting on having a female Dev do the babysitting.

Why would they need to go to another server? They aren't shutting down either Vigilance or Zukunft. They aren't even removing the French or German tags from the server listing screen. They are not forcing the established communities on either of those servers to go elsewhere.

If a French speaking player signs up to play the game, they will still see Vigilance (French Language) on the server screen and know that they can find people that speak the same language.

I'm rather unclear on what Cosplay Policy you are referring to.

I am unable to find any Terms of Service listed on the CoH website or on the support site. If you can provide a link, that would be helpful.

In the current User Agreement, section 4 relates to Accounts and Payments.

In the current Rules of Conduct, item 4 relates to posting or linking to sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive imagery or content.

In the current Forum Rules and Guidelines, rule #4 deals with making public any private communications from NCSoft, Paragon Studios or even other users.

I find nothing in any of the above links relating to Cosplay, so I'm not sure how you are using the term here and what ToS you are referring to.

EDIT: If by "Cosplay" you mean violating intellectual property, copyright or trademark of characters, that has been enforced for as long as the game has been in existence. It got enforced even more heavily after the Marvel lawsuit, but it was still enforced before that. Anyone telling you it was completely unenforced or ignored was blowing smoke out of their backside.

I do not believe this is correct.

I know of one former Dev that posted on occasion on his personal account. I'm fairly sure he's not the only one that did so.

I didn't pay for "it" (assuming you are meaning Incarnate Content) but I did pay to play as a VIP, or prior to Freedom I just paid to play. I got what I paid for plus a bunch of things I have had no interest in and some that I still have no interest in. Nothing has changed since there was content released before Freedom that I had no interest in.

False.

I opened the Alpha Slot on TJ but did no other Incarnate Content on any of my characters until I22 was released. There are other people that have posted that they did pretty much the same thing. I've read posts from people that have run no Incarnate content except for Ramiel's mission to unlock the Alpha slot but have run normal content and used the Shards that dropped to equip their Incarnate powers and slots. Some have gotten T3 in more than one slot, so it can be done without any of the Incarnate content being run.

I have no interest at all in what some other game does.

The same was true before Incarnate content was introduced. But people did repeat runs of the KHTF regularly, the ITF regularly, the LGTF regularly, the STF or LRSF regularly as well as quite a bit of other content.

You are still wrong. As I already stated, people are outfitting their Incarnate slots without running the Incarnate content already. They are still not obligated to run that content because there are other ways to progress (albeit slowly) without running iTrials or the new DA content.

This isn't fast food. But I have gotten fast food without being obligated to pay for it.

Your point isn't as valid as you think it is. We've had a farm and grind for reward design much longer than we've had Incarnate content.

Again, we've had farm and grind long before Incarnate or endgame content.

Still the same answer. We've had farm and grind for rewards (costing both subscription fees and time invested) long before Freedom, long before Incarnate content and long before any endgame.

Contrary to your statement, they don't take the rewards away from you if you unsubscribe, you just aren't able to access those abilities. If you resubscribe those rewards you earned and Incarnate progress is still there.

In some ways it works the way it did prior to Freedom. If you unsubscribed, you lost access to your characters entirely but they were still there just as you left them if you re-subscribed.

tl;dr version

No one is obligated to play the Incarnate content if they want to progress through Incarnate powers. There are rewards that can be gained through normal gameplay that will allow you to get Incarnate progress.

The game has always had farm and grind for rewards built into it.

I'm glad you were able to read my reply as it was intended and not as others have done trying to twist what I was saying to suit their own agendas.

Player Help would be one place to ask for assistance or possibly City Life. If you mention the server in this thread you may even get an offer from someone. As long as it isn't Justice I'd be willing to roll an alt just to help you out and I'm sure there are others that would be willing to help as well.
