Oh I have no delusions that CO isn't copying CoX as well. For instance I believe they are going to (if they haven't already) introduce a "mission difficulty adjustment" feature like ours.
This is why I laugh at people who are zealous diehards for one game or the other. Sure I like CoX a lot more than CO myself, but I realize that I'd much rather have a game like CO exist to motivate our Devs to innovate via competition than for them to get away with having the "Superhero MMO" monopoly again and stagnate. -
Quote:The vets could sit on their thumbs and twiddle the day away for all I care. I just think travel powers at an earlier level is a fantastic idea. d;DOriginally Posted by LISAR
They could open up normal travel powers early for everyone and give vets the option to pick a free slotable travel power at creation.

Quote:Znrgy, the forum cartel is composed of people with the highest post count. They don't claim that their posts have any legitimacy, nor do they claim that their posters are especially insightful; just that they post A LOT and frequently.Originally Posted by ZNRGY_XERONUS
ST I wasn't going to respond to you, but I should at least say this. I read this forum nearly everyday and the moment someone has a view that's opposite some of you forum cartel folks you guys ponce on a poster, I've seen it time and time again. You folks post as if you know everything about this game or CO! There are things about this game that I know that none of you know, but I rarely challenge the misinformation that goes out from you folks because you folks will just pounce as you usually do and frankly that's gotten old.
When I initially responded to your post, I only countered your experience with the game, because that hasn't been my experience or the experience of others I've talked too. Maybe I shouldn't have posted, but there are people that haven't had the difficulty that you've had with CO and that voice should be heard too.
You accused me of patronizing you which was never my intent. I was just offering my experience with CO. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe I wrong for calling it out, but I do feel that many of you are elitist and I'm not the only one. I've PMed folks on this forum and they have expressed as much as well. I can argue with the best of them, but too often here, I feel that it's going to be a futile exercise and that the folks here are more concerned about being "right" than considering an alternative view or opinion.
Sorry I can't defend you. I have to side with Forum Cartel. -
Quote:I find the support of CoHs travel powers at a later level, odd. Having a travel power at an early level would be a fantastic QoL change. (I'm with Hume, I could careless if vets have entitlement issues.)Originally Posted by BBhumeBB
I see the usual complaint that giving travel powers earlier would somehow insult or diminish long time players who got that option as a vet reward.
I have been playing 60+ months, have the City Traveller reward (or whatever it's called) and would say...
- time in level is not an accomplishment. It doesn't make me special to have been playing that long.
- even if a real accomplishment WERE involved, making a reward available to someone else does not diminish my accomplishment. I reference my satisfactions by my own acts and performance, not the opinions of others.
- giving someone else an option like early travel does not take my option for early travel away. I have no objection to more players having more options, and indeed, am very much in favor of all players having as many options as possible.
So, dunno if only one vet player expressed an objection that making early travel more widely available would be a slap in the face, a kick in the junk, a poke in the chops, or a stick in the eye, or more did. But for the record, here's one vet who does not share that opinion.
I like the idea and agree with Bhume and Jophiel completely.
Great thread.
P.s. We need alternative travel styles as well and I'd love to see unique dances for female and males across every ATT.

How bout making an online nemesis? I have a nemesis, it's called CoX marketing and any developer involved with the i13 changes to pvp and removal of base raids.
Naturally i'm not the hero because only villains PvP. But I can still act as if i'm the victim of my nemesis's nefarious plot to rid the game of competitive pvp. -
Quote:Yes, I suppose if you are making your comparison on the bases of "it takes effort" I can see your point.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
It's on the same order of effort you have to actively put forward to find the things that are insulting you, though. If someone's writing mean and nasty letters for me and pinning them on his own door, then if I go over just to read them, I kind of lose my ability to complain about it.
I often times compare my effort of getting up to get a glass of water, to the red cross's efforts after the 7.5 magnitude earthquake in haiti to supply its entire population with clean water...
Sure they do. The heck do you think the forums are for?Quote:Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow

Quote:4 of those bids are from my toons. I needed a holder for my 1.5bil. I have a feeling quite a few people are using the PvPIO recipes for similar use. If you happen to buy one..sell it off market for 2-3bil..if you don't..it's an easy way to hold your excess income.Originally Posted by Fury Flechette
I built a new gaming rig last night and got back into the game after a week away. The Gladiator Armor +3% def had 370 bidders, 0 supply, last sold on 1-24-10 hero side.
Prices of these are not dropping. The large numbers of bidders suggests that a) these IOs are being sold off market for a huge mark up, especially in light of the fact that server transfers are still free, and b) the supply for these is (and probably always have been) exceedingly small.
When I bid for mine, I was able to acquire on for the influence cap after about 6 day wait. There was also only 170+ ebidders, and it has now more than doubled. I have two 2B influence bids for this recipe and neither have filled since I posted them about two weeks ago. Actually, I would've been surprised if they had.
I pretty much agree with Conflict that the bulk of supply for this particular PvP IO is probably from afk farming.
The supply is small, however untill I see hard numbers I'm not going to jump on the band wagon and assume most of the supply is from AFK farmers. There are about 30 to 40 people in zone at any given time for a few hours a day on freedom. I'm sure there are a few afk farmers but I'm skeptical if they make the majority.
I just thought this topic was amusing.
As for the question expressed in this threads title.
"Are Prices Dropping?"
Yes, all the time.
"Are prices rising?"
Yes, all the time.
There are many niches in the market, you have to be more specific. -
Quote:You're right, it's not an ideal comparison...Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
It's not an ideal comparison, but to me, the effort required to actually find these insulting rep comments is somewhere on the order of scanning someone else's e-mail to see if he's not saying bad things about you.
It really isn't much of a comparison at all. XD
I am LOVING this thread.

Quote:Can I have your shovel? You're digging too deep.Originally Posted by Crim_the_Cold
True I did basically tell people not to be whiney over words while I was doing just that. Its only slightly contradictory however. I'm irritated over the topic being discussed. What I was griping at people about was getting so easily offended from the insults tossed at them. There is a difference.

I'm offended that Crim is offended by the easily offended. I'm also offended by the assumptions and abuse of Miss Freeze and her patronizing tone toward everyone else. I'm offended by Shard and his lunacy with tags and the hurtful things he says about Turbo. And I'm especially offended that Philly and SnowGlobe insist on being offended at me being offended at Crim and Freeze and Shard.

Quote:*facepalm* Great point. I completely disregarded 501c3s. But in this scenerio couldn't we safely assume we are dealing with for-profit businesses models?Originally Posted by Mr_Zek
Except in the case of Non-profit organizations. While they must pay attention and still make fiscally responsible decisions, their purpose is not financially motivated.
Hindisght is always 20-20. It is often unclear as to how good a decision is until the long-term ramifications are worked out. I bet Toyota thought it were making great financial decisions and savings thousands until it got smacked in the face with a $155 mil a week recall bill.
anyway, thread-jacking i'll stop. -
