He comes in Monday to all kinds of complaints and takes a few minutes to reply to a thread where people actually appreciate his efforts and you get upset?
Thanks for smacking yourself on the forehead and saving me the trouble.
[/ QUOTE ]
And that goes double for me.....and yes, the snowballs would be great
my guesses for what "could" be in (fyi, states said maybe one or 2) would be snow or a x-mas hat

Actually, I'm responding to my PM's. Remember - I was at Gen Con for the past few days. First I collect my PM's, then I go to the boards.
PLUS - I'm spending more and more time on City of Villains.

What the poster is trying to say is that he should have at least made some kind of acknowledgement to the huge thread on the topic. Something like, okay we're looking into the data.

I hope it's snow and abominable snowman. Er, maybe santa hat. No, snowman. Hat. Snowman.
Oh come, on give us 3? 
Yeah, i got an answer to my PM for instance, i sent it 3 weeks ago, i think, might have been 4.
I tend to agree, respond to the regens, what IS going to happen.
Come on guys. I'm a lvl 44 regen scrapper, I'm as mad as anyone. But Chrismas gets me feeling like a little kid again. Let the man spread some holiday cheer.

Heh... oh boy do I feel sheepish. 
OK then, who do we speak to about the recent changes on the Test Server? Geko? Because, we definatly need a sit down discussion about it.

Its true. I got a reply to a message I sent ages ago.
I was going to reply with a thanks but considering he probably doesn't need more rubbish in his mailbox I will say it here.
Thanks

Maybe we'll get a hat inspiration for defeating a snowman that will allow us to use INT and IH at the same time

But the hat can't be slotted and can only be used on the 3rd Wednesday of the week, and only if its dark outside...
I only want one thing for Christmas...LEAVE THE REGEN's ALONE!!

Poor Statesman, he just amped up his PM rate by about 400% with that comment heh...
He really does read all his PMs, if you check the box that informs you when your PMs are read, you'll see that he does read'em even if he can't reply to all of'em.

OIC .. this travesty of a "small tweak" is the result of simply not paying attention to what you are doing to the live game in favor of "the next big thing?" of CoV?
So we can expect CoH to become more and more of a red-headed step-child that helps pay the bills while you guys do "more important things?"

::grabs some tissue and hands it to Cyberberus:: Here you go....
Get a clue, you know how long Tank had to adopt to the constant changes to our AT. We cried(more than others), but we sucked it up,pulled the spandex on, and got on with our roles. I am a Inv/SS tank who has ben here since release. Granted, I haven't posted before now, but I cant keep quiet. I am quiet happy with the "meatshield" role that has been tossed our way. But did I come on the forums and cry and whine about it, no. I said,"Ok, a new challenge for me to overcome and adopt to."
I have had many alts, and keep finding myself being drawn back to the tanks. Even with our so-called shortcomings, I have adopted and changed my ways. Sorry to say, but now it's your turn.
Welcome to the club, and here is your jacket. Sit down and enjoy the ride or get off so the rest of us can.

I'll vouch for that. He did reply to a PM I sent him. The guy is the frontman for a game that's played by 180,000 players. The fact that he took the time to reply to one person out of that many people shows he cares to a large degree.
Not to be a fanboy, but I think he does what he can.
Am I the only one who wants to know what was in all these PMs? (That's the plural of PM, not the... other thing.)

Hmm lets see if I can answer that question for you.
*opens the Dev Diary*
Lets see, first we have the "Tanker I need your Insight" posted on 11/19 (hmm..Scrappers didnt get this) 2 Statesy Posts there.
Followed by the "Yes I have been reading the Boards" started on 11/20 (hmm next day responses..hmm Scrappers didnt get this). 5 Statsey Posts in that thread.
Followed by the "My morning with Geko" started 11/22 (hmm Scrappers didnt get that). 11 Statesy Posts in that thread.
Finalized with "Tanker and Scrapper Tweek" (hmm wait a tick...How the hell did Scrappers get dragged into this???) on 12/02. One Statesy post there.
So essentially in the course of 4 days, States asked you what you wanted, you got a total of 18 posts from him, and in the end 10 days from when it started you got exactly what you wanted and then some. Not to mention that this all took place on the Actual tanker forum.
So now by all means cry me a river how you poor poor tankers are being so egregiously mistreated.
Scrappers on the other hand got not a tweak, but a Ninja Nerf , that we are asked to test, but cant even test properly because they forgot to reset the mobs on test, and most of us can't respec to make use of the new changes, and god forbid properly test them. AND in the same 4 Days, whereas tanks got 18 friggin posts from States, we get a quick, snippy, backhanded reference to the Scrap issue in a friggin thread about Xmas, where he essentially says CoV and PM's are more demanding of his time? And you don't think we have a reason to be pissed? SHEESH what a Putz!
Have fun !
How about you go kick geko in the face for us from the testing forumn plz
I wanna see some Hockey! Not just Bob and Jim skating on a rink. I wanna see some VIOLENT Rikti hockey! Lost vs Skulls beating each other down! That would be cool!

You can kind of do this already with the respec mission. Afterwards, just throw the reactor heal at the other heroes. Minutes of fun for everyone.
[/ QUOTE ]
You know, that's a good point... The mechanics for a temp power with no effect but a fun visual that you can throw at allies?
It's already there. Reskin the Reactor coolant and let's go!
