    A comparable warning to move


  2. Pauly D becomes the first official openly gay superhero on "City of Jersey Shore."


  3. Glenn Close in "Hook" as the pirate who gets put in the "boo box."

  4. The playerbase at large requires a constant stream of "new" and "shiny" to keep them satiated.

  5. This is the opposite of "urgant."

    This isn't the Suggestions and Ideas forum.

    Oh, dramatics



    Alas, poor shiny, I knew thee well!

    There is no line. There is only our own individual line - the reward tree. It's not some line we are all in - we are all on our separate path through that tree. Rewards aren't being handed out with discrimination between who gets what - we are all eligible - some sooner than others based on the longevity of their subscription or rewarded for money spent on the market. Wait your time - and if you are a VIP - you will eventually hit that Tier.

    Your lack of patience and self entitlement and your whole "I WANT IT NAAAOOOOO!!!1!" attitude is something that needs refinement

    The whole purpose of T9 VIP rewards is to reward VIP subscribers with something unique that can't be obtained any other way, in game or via the market. Making a T9 VIP reward freely available the market makes the T9 Reward row meaningless. I could just go Premium and earn reward tokens whenever I want to buy something of the market - like a T9 VIP reward costume set - but then CoH loses out on the monthly $15 I spend on the game and may perhaps just get the occassional $5 or $15 purchase from me once or twice a year (versus twelve $15 monthly payments.)

    Does that make sense? I believe it's been reiterated multiple times in this thread and people either lack reading comprehension or just don't want to acknowledge that argument.

    No, it no longer be available to be claimed from the T9 VIP slot.
  9. One thing I'd like to see which would help iron out the incongruity between the high level of new art assets compared to old "legacy" assests:
    • Have all of the old legacy Faces redone with Normal Mapping (but keep the legacy ones as an option!)
  10. I want the bicycle team teleport power.

    With horns and pom-poms.
  11. I bought 2 of the 8 hour packs since I am, in general, a slow leveler and tens to solo. I don't necessarily play a lot of arcs for content but there are a few on occasion that I play.

    For me it was a worthwhile purchase.
  12. I bought the cape/aura unlock off the market; totally worth it. Now I can have cape/aura toons at level uno.
  13. How would radiation block psionic attacks?
  14. Then people will complain that only VIPs can gift reward tokens.

    /unsigned

    Leave the reward tree the way it is and how it works.


  15. Villain suggested memorial to Statesman.
  16. Then you'd have level 50+3 Incarnates going around and using Judgement all over the lowbie zones for some quick 1infs.

    No, it doesn't. Everyone has the potential and over time will earn the same rewards. The system doesn't discriminate who gets what (with one exception.) It's not creating some class system where there are VIPS who are better than others.

    What it has created are whiners who moan that they are not T9 and won't get the specific T9 reward they want - at this time. Celestial Armor won't be going away permanently it most likely will be cycled back in to the T9 Reward Tree at some time and perhaps what some people may need to learn is patience

    So, yes, there is an exception: who will get what rewards and at what time.

    Not saying you won't get them ever - just not at this time. The reward tree is individual for each player and their path on it, so to say it is discriminating between two players is poppycock.

    I completely support a revamp of AE as I think it could be an amazing system - but this particular forum is not about systems; it is about zones.

    You know how every time on uStream Zwillinger has a guest who is talking about powers, or character design, or story content and it's time for questions and people continually ask about PvP and Bases?

    Same thing.

    You're asking the wrong tree.
  19. For those who do intend to get up and make a case here's an idea for a suggested 3 bullet format:
    • The zone you would like to see revamped.
    • How a revamp of this zone will benefit current players but would also help attract/entice new players.
    • How does this particular zone revamp fit into the overall arc of the current CoH story?

    If you're only getting 3 minutes, try to spend 1 minute on each bullet (unless it's a dialogue you'll be having with the Devs.) I'd suggest coming up with your own 3 bullet format for whichever zone you're going to suggest for a revamp.

    Like Arcanaville said, practice it in front of a mirror, or try doing an audio recording and listen to your argument.
