    How wrong you are.

    Uhhh...

    Did you miss the LEVEL BUMP thread? Y'know, the one where you can make a new toon and request to get level bumped to whatever level you want?

    And then watch the original ending:

    Part Two

    Part Three
  5. Clothing for men is not about keeping up with the current trends; it's about details. Has the blazer been re-invented? No. But have the details regarding the nature of current trending blazers changed? Yes?

    Is it seer-sucker or linen this season? Is it a wide lapel or narrow lapel? Is it a Drop 8 or a Drop 6 in Men's suiting?

    Men's silhouettes rarely ever change but the details on them vary.

    Women's fashion, however, constantly changes by shape, style, and silhouette. Women, therefore, require a greater array of clothing designs to be fashionable.

    What I think is being asked for is an inclusion of a few more "unisex" pieces. At least when it comes to accessories.

    Side note: High heels were originally designed for men, in France, so that the nobility would be "elevated" above the common rabble. The French then discovered that shoes were damn painful and gave them and then the prostitutes of the streets started wearing them as it made their legs more slender.*(citation needed)**

    **(I could have totally made this up... who knows.)

    I know from personal experience with my job, simply because you don't get a response or acknowledgement doesn't mean they aren't aware

    Would you rather the Devs sit and personally respond to each and every bug/feedback post - or - would you rather they spend their time gathering that information and work on fixing the problems and issues that are brought to their attention?

    Think about (No, really, think about it first for more than a second and then respond.)

    Of course we aren't, but we are paying customers, and can break things in way that seasoned programs wouldn't think to break them. It behooves Paragon Studios to forego paid beta testers and let the end users - us - beta test it and give our feedback.

    There is only so much time in the world and they do work on a schedule. As long as it is not a game breaking bug it can be hotfixed/patched later. Nothing is ever perfect at launch and if you reaaaaally expect it to be then you really need to re-evaluate your expectations.

  7. Maybe if people who go on the Beta server actually did beta testing and left forum feedback & bug notes instead of just looking at the shinies and then never logging on again, well, then maybe we wouldn't have so many bugs make it Live.

    Just a thought, y'know.

  9. The Tier 9 Darkness Control Power REVEALED!
    This power has the same magnitude of confuse as the Avatar of Hamidon.

    The hold strength of Ghost Widow.

    And the incessant chipperness of Shirley Temple.

    Make of that what you will.
  10. My new job makes Beta time (even Live game time!) near impossible
  11. How do I delete my level 50's?


    Death by toilet seat from God.

    I am so Flambeaux.

    From the surface, darkness control sounds like it'll be some cobbled together set using powers already in-game. I'll also assume we'll be getting Dark Assault and that'll be a cobbled together version of dark blast, dark melee and dark manipulation. If that's the case, then color me unimpressed.
    If the powers for Dark Control will be some form of "cobbled together" set from other powers it would have come with the other power prolifs Just a thought

    The fact that it didn't come with the other power prolifs means that it is something new - but free since it won't be using new tech, like Beam Rifle or Titan Weapons.

    And new powersets that aren't cobbled together from other sets naturally take time to develop and test. Just a thought

    Correction: I suspect this is the 'something special' that was mentioned.

    Correction: I worry this is the 'something special' that was mentioned.
    Correction: I worry that some players think the game needs to be specifically tailored to their own individual needs and perhaps maybe should learn to set realistic expectations.

    Dark Control sounds like it could be awesomesauce.

    So, what are you guys expecting and/or hoping it to be?
    I am expecting something harder and more arduous than the typical story arcs.

    I am curious if it will work like the current Signature Story arc when solo'ing - you are in your own private TF mode.

    Recipe Catalogue

    Recipe storage was an issue for me until I began "memorizing" the basics IO recipes on my toons - so when I get a basic IO recipe drop I generally delete it (don't need the cas$h from selling it.)

    I do hold on to the recipes from sets and generally let them sit on my auction house storage until I need it, or email it to myself.

    /ah is a beautiful, beautiful slash command.
  20. I haven't considered doing a drop only character.

    I did - once - play a toon sans travel powers up to level 23 before getting bored with them.
  21. Yeah, now that you mention it, I haven't seen one in a few months.

    Then again, they've been neck deep in rolling out a new business model, releasing i21, and now working on whatever else is ahead.

    Oh, the Pummit.
  22. Adjusted the amount of terminals for each phase.
