Quote:20 divided by 7 comes out to be a pinch over 2.85 issues a year.Originally Posted by bAss_ackwards
Isn't that 4.2 Issues per year? Am I failing at maths here?
At 4.2 issues a year, we'd nearly be up to issue thirty here.

In a completely unrelated note, when do we get a body type and animations for geriatrics with arthritis? I mean we have "old" faces, but they still have the bodies of 25 year olds that's about it. Talk about unfair!

I've been meaning to hop on this thread for a while and since it is a Friday, I'll start with the absolute most major blessing, even if it's not City related - I'm thankful my father's cancer free!
He'd already been going through a very rough time- heart surgery and multiple surgeries on his legs- when he got the bad news (Throat cancer). I'm amazed at how well he did throughout treatment- radiation and chemical therapy- which lasted for weeks. We only found out recently he's got no traces of it left. (Though he's still got a lot of recovering to do, and a leg surgery to go.)
Despite the hardships, well, I'm sure you can imagine what a relief the news is to us.
Oh.. and I had a holiday job, which's nice. I'm back out job hunting, but at least I got to enjoy buying gifts for myself and family. Especially my nephews. (Both of which enjoy City of Heroes every so often.)
As for City of Heroes, a friend at the time told me all about the open beta, which fell close to my birthday all those years ago. I tried it, loved it, and while I haven't been here nonstop, I've been here for most of the ride!
I'm thankful for the friends I've made here, one of which told me about Second Life which became another major source of entertainment and new friends for me. Some of them have become my very best online friends!
I'm thankful after probably a year of being annoyed by it, they finally updated the vets rewards so I wasn't short changed. (I complained once via email only to be told "No it can't possibly be wrong." Glad that didn't stick since I quit a few months over it.)
I'm thankful to be in such a creative community. It's part of the inspiration for the written roleplay game I run - which used to be in my signature. (For which I seriously need to find a few new members for soon!) Edit Oops.. it's still in it.. nevermind.
Oh, and for mission architect, which I really want to explore someday when I find a team willing to enjoy it with me! (Which I do every so often, which is nice..)
Even with the occasional annoyance I have with the game, I'm glad I renewed one last time! (But that one last time is for 14 months so.. maybe I'll end up staying another 14 months.. hmm)

And the sheer idiocy of some of the comments still amazes me.
"Oh, Chris Bruce got fired, so everything he ever said is now invalid and people should stop quoting it."
What an ***.
Which struck me as hilariously annoying.

The lack of new information here doesn't surprise me; hopefully it's enough old information to spark interest in people that aren't actively following the game?

Wow...... some of these are really really nice work. Thanks for finally making the rune aura ive been asking for, VERY happy about that.
Keep up the good work guys. With YOU KNOW WHO switching to F2P Id say we have any opposition on the ropes at this point, and this kind of booster is exactly why.

Quote:To each their own, I suppose.Originally Posted by firespray
Great, just what I wanted, more boring invasions that interrupt my gameplay. And one wasn't enough, we had to have two back to back. Thanks devs.
I happen to think having them back to back breaks up the monotony of having them so spaced out from each other, but that's just my personal take on it, obviously.

Quote:Would you care to cite some examples of 'fast tracking' a character that have been 'nerfed?'Originally Posted by Janlee
You have to admit though:
After costume pieces, base items, and some items per character... This is a major change for a system that nerfed every other method of "fast tracking" a character.
The game has also bumped up leveling speed, added patrol exp for everyone, and nerfed debt from the first issue, maybe earlier. (I know 'cause I still remember the earliest changes to debt.) Blowing a hole in the "They nerfed powerleveling" claims you seem to be implying.
Weather this is a 'major change' depends on your playstyle and definition of 'fast tracking.'
Personally, I like the reward. Personally, I don't find it to be a major change, nor an overpowered one. Or as WWE Hall of Fame member Jerry Lawler was so fond of saying, "I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong." -
Quote:Hm, I wouldn't call it necessarily negative feedback if you consider it a fair and smart move, though.Originally Posted by EU_Damz in response to Electric-Knight
Don't you be saying those negative things! They are being nice people by getting us free auras!
Which I'd be on the fence about calling it, but I do have to say the fireflies and snow auras give a free issues something to look forward to and there's still enough left for the paid booster to be worth paying for, judging by feedback.
I might get this one since I'll have more spending money in the near future.

Quote:Why is this worth saying? You can't post here if you're not a paying costumer.Originally Posted by Peregrine_Falcon
I'm a paying customer.
Which is exactly what no one in the thread came close to saying. How can you even attempt to make this argument? You're on a public board. If you offering a "fix these other unrelated MA issues instead of doing this contest" isn't a complaint, then neither is pointing out that it is completely unrelated to the actual topic being discussed.Quote:Originally Posted by Peregrine_FalconCourteously offering a list of complaints that I have about a service that I'm paying for is not whining.
For those of you that are tired of reading forum posts complaining about the MA I can only say: I'm not going to apologize if you're annoyed by people who don't agree with you that everything is Happy Happy Joy Joy with the MA.
That very same right you have to offer constructive criticism applies to people who decide to criticize you, after all. This is a public forum. Or are you just annoyed that people arent up in arms and screaming for your list of demands to be met?
Because thats exactly what it reads as.
In other words Courteously disagreeing with a post made on a public post that were all all obviously paying for due to the simple fact were posting here is not complaining.
Anyway, irrelevant whi- er.. "constructive complaints" aside, Im definitely taking a stab at this one, if I can get a story I like together for it, anyway.
I have to admit, it would be nice if we had the option of simply emailing in the submissions for these kinds of contests. I get the feeling part of the incentive for doing this might be to bring out a slew of new missions for players to play, however. -

Quote:There, that looks more honest.Originally Posted by Candlestick
At this point, I'm pretty sure the PvP'ers left in this game continue to whine about anything they can at the first unrelated issue that comes up.
For instance, I'm bringing up I13 in a post that has nothing to do with it because it's in the pvp section.
Don't I look cool and snarky?
Seriously, how in the world can you use this justification to complain about something that happened 5 issues ago and has nothing to do with this?
And if the devs didn't care about PVP, why are people allowed to get away posting such obvious troll bait when anything else with this level of snark is quickly moderated out of existence. -

Quote:I believe the idea is to make the prize of the contest that much more hotly contested.Originally Posted by Leo_G
Then why not release it now if it's already being offered out?
Bragging rights in getting it a day earlier than can be purchased... I'd kind of be afraid to show it off in public today, given some of the venom projected by people nearly as immature and vengeful as I, though!

Quote:You pulling the exact same jerkery in the very same post as this one.Originally Posted by The_Alt_oholic
There are a lot of us that are still REALLY hurting because of the economic down turn. Anyone that mocks people because they are poor are jerks.
That reads like you're assuming anyone who pre purchases this thing is a horrible internet troll who'll mock you relentlessly for not pre purchasing. Are you seriously refusing to team with anyone and flat out mocking anyone who didn't make the same purchasing decision as you?Quote:Originally Posted by The_Alt_oholic
They knew what they were doing when they bought it. They wanted to be L337 and on the cutting-edge - and they were at least one of the two.
And at the same time referring to anyone who mocks you is a jerk?
Didn't your posts used to be a little better thought out than that?
Also..
I don't get it, GMan. You think the game would be better anyone who prepurchased was blacklisted from teams? Because if so, I'm not seeing where 'better game' comes in. It sounds like blacklisting people who roleplay, or who don't roleplay, or who have hasten, or who don't have hasten, based on your personal preference.Quote:Originally Posted by GMan3
I have to say, I agree with you on almost every point and support you most strenuously on the money front. Let's face it, this game gets expensive in the long run and deciding to wait for the complete collection to come out is just SMART. I wouldn't quit a team because of someone's AT, but that is just me and obviously you are welcome to do so if that is what you want. I just wish more people could look at the game this way, would be a lot more fun if they did.
And then claiming that the game would be "better" if everyone else blacklisted those people as well.
Or did I misunderstand?
