And I said nothing about gearing everything to level 50s. I said that the tech exists to make the same content usable by characters of all levels, so they should make use of it.

Having a scaling feature and not designing content to make use of it seems short-sighted given all the cool things high level characters can do.

And there is no rule that says people who don't like something have to shut up either. If it's a voting thing, then we all get to have the same vote. Something that benefits more players is better. Remember, we are talking about something that will cost people real money in the future.

I do. I played the sig arcs on a 22 hero and a 24 villain (so as not to lose anything). I will likely not play them on any higher characters. It is still feedback to point out that by requiring such drastic exemplaring, the content they are producing is of limited value to me, a paying customer.

That is a relatively recent development. I agree that incarnate powers are a problem, but the same could be said of level 40 as of level 20 - 40 is just better.

Then call it level 20 if you want, but still give me all the powers and options I have gained that make the game more enjoyable. It's not the number slapped on the character that matters so much as it is what you can do with them - and a level 20 character has a lot less they can do than a level 50.

No, but I also didn't gain those last 30 levels in order to not be allowed to use them. I have never had a character that was more fun at 20 than at 50, so any time I'm reduced, the game is intrinsically less fun.

I was just talking about the mission up until that point - "Quick! We're getting attacked by ineffectual rocks - run thatta way!" You're about as heroic as Suzie the secretary, except you beat up 5 things before running. Epic heroism there.

And if you're premium, pay $5 for the privilege of skipping content.

I went to dragoncon this month and paid $50 for a leatherbound comic book. I also paid (several times) $10 for a mai tai in a plastic cup. The stupid prices you will pay on vacation at a special event don't translate well to what you will do while at home and mostly sober.

Yes, we have been put in the same conceptual demographic hole as purchasers of the flowbie and the slapchop.

"For a limited time only, you get it at this special sale price!!!"

Here's an idea. I'll pay 400 points for someone to slap whoever wrote Ghost Falcon's post.

I assume he's talking about auras not being included with the other costume pieces in the costume packs - and there being no way to determine this in the store before making the purchase.

Right, so a strong secondary can compensate for a weak primary. That doesn't mean a bots/storm wouldn't be that much better.

Yes. It should appear immediately after "Pirate Costume Power for 600 Paragon Points! "

It's being hosted on photobucket (why, when you have your own forums), so if you have that blocked for whatever reason, you won't see it.

Mine definitely does not do that. There is a pretty significant gap.

And in the Christopher Eccleston season credits, unfortunately.

You and me both - I still can't believe there's no CoT ghost options. Always make that trip to the tailor to check now.

In my experience, yes. It may be down to secondary, but at least you can play ninja by leaving numbers at X1 and increasing difficulty. My ninja/therm has had no trouble moving along at a decent pace, even though he's only at 40 running on SOs except for the 1 pet special I have. My merc/pain is still painful to play at 50 with a billion inf sunk into her. She can't take numbers because they have no survivability and can't take hard targets because of the anemic st damage and useless control.

Maybe some secondaries work and maybe tankerminding does, but the experience was so different from my bot/ff and DS/pre-buff poison that it's like night and day. Just to repeat that last part differently, even with a good secondary they are harder to play than mixed melee pets with pre-buff poison as a secondary.
