What's the purpose of this board?

Furyun · 04-27-2005 08:08 PM

Question 1

Will there ever be a way to make alterations to the charicter design that are ot currently available?

Full Length cloaks, high collars, extra limbs, or any special requests like "I want to look just like the hero ****** from ***** but the costumes just wont come out right"

Even if there was a $5 fee for an alteration so that you could look exactly like your favorite super hero I would pay it.

Question 2

Will we ever be able to mix and match our own powers outside the norm. i.e. mixing Blaster and Scrapper, Defender and Tank. Even if we are only allowed 1 power from the entire set.

or buy enhansement slots

That would be a great way to add content and use for the millions and millions of unusable influence

just some ideas/questions thanks

I think thats what the lvl 40+ powersets are for. I havnt taken any of these myself yet, but from what I've seen and heard from others is that it seems to be there for players to take powers that are radically different from their initial AT and not offered in the main power pool.

The purpose of this board is to have a single, well-organized place where all complaints about nerfs can be collected and ignored/deleted.

That is all.

Shame on any one a cryptic whos spent any time doing anything other than fixing the steaming pile of $#!^ that is issue 4!

Are you paying attention Statesman?

Bugs, memory leaks, stealth nerfs, and PvP ruining PvE sux! I want my game back!

Now, when I've got something to explain, I can put it here. All the comments and responses are contained to a single thread. Devs can post responses in one place - posters know where to go.

Now this isn't to say that I'll stop posting in the other forums - but I'll try to keep the "hot" issues answered in this forum.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks, Statesman, that's all we ask.
That said:

Regarding the scalding "hot" issue of the Travel Power Suppression debacle, a few questions:

1. Specifically Why was it implemented? More to the point, what exactly is it designed to accomplish?

2. Why was the Developers Corner thread regarding this issue locked at 107 pages with no clear response from any Developer to the many, many, many requests for an explanation? The last few posts between subscribers were acrimonious, to be sure, but what they started arguing about was the lack of input by the Devs; so in a sense, the conversation got ugly becuse the Devs wouldn't step up and explain themselves. I hope the Devs didn't think they were "fixing" the argument problem by locking the thread; such indifference actually *is* the problem, and is hardly the response to which we feel entitled as subscribers.

3. How soon can we expect to see Travel Power Suppresion removed and our superheroes allowed to be "super" again?

4. May we please have poll for all players across all servers (including Europe) to see how many people want Travel Power Suppression removed? This will allow the voices of actual players to be heard rather than simply allow the game tweaks to be dictated by the vocal few who dominate the Test Server to augment their effectiveness in Arena play.

Thank you.
Yours truly,
Dasher

HELP SAVE THIS GAME!
If we can save this game, I promise I will never complain about Travel Power Suppression again! You have my word on it!

Not quite. And locked.

((looks up at the extraordinary amount of time that has passed since a dev last posted on a thread STARTED BY THE LEAD DEVELOPER. Accepts this as confirmation of his fears. Looks into WoW and EQ2))

Stand UP.
FIGHT BACK!

And sees that the actual Devs for BOTH those games post LESS often with LESS actual information regarding those games.

CanadianKnight · 07-12-2005 10:23 AM

True, but at least you go in with diminished expectations and don't set yourself up with any false hope.

You know you'll be ignored and just roll with the punches. Unlike here in COH where you argue the changes, post reasons, alternatives and still get ignored when they lock the thread (I'm looking at you Official SS/SJ/Fly thread).

Bill Z Bubba · 07-12-2005 12:00 PM

From my forays into WoW and Guildwars, and the reading I've done about WoW and EQ2, it appears that we still have the most engaged and responsive dev team right here at Cryptic.

Read into that what you will.

For every disappointment I've encountered with CoH, something else has made the game fun for me. World of Walking bored me to tears. Same with Guildwars. I'm rarely bored when I log into CoH. Unless I try to play my empath.

Be well, people of CoH.

King_Moloch · 07-12-2005 01:09 PM

I abandoned my empath at 28. it seems either my play style just isnt compatible with her loadout, or Psi is just so gimp its utterly without value of any kind. Either way, that character feels like a failure to me. Thinking about it thouhg, Im tempted to log her on and see where the problem is with her...

Stand UP.
FIGHT BACK!

SaintNicster · 07-12-2005 02:03 PM

I wouldn't hold your breath for this one. Unless there are MAJOR, classwide changes, I doubt we'll see respecs

Major classwide changes and a free respec have both been annouced for Issue 5.

Cool. Another respec my characters won't need.

Just curious, do you have a link to a redname saying this?

Level 50 is a journey, not a destination.

Please note, however, that the post to which EvilGeko so kindly provided a link does NOT technically say that a respec will be given for Issue 5.

It says: "Yes, players will get respecs (probably after I5).... "

That's similar, but not exactly the same thing, and it is certainly not definite as to the time frame. I think it is likely that a free respec will come around the time of Issue 5, but we haven't been given an official "announcement" that is will. I think it will all depend on the extent of the changes they make to blasters (and possible to controllers and defenders).

No they actually said they will give respecs after I5. Read this post ---> Exchange between Statesman and me.

Where he again confirms that respecs are coming after I5.

-----------
Please don't argue this point anymore guys. It just spreads disinformation. The devs have stated several time that respecs are coming with I5. I could find some more posts for you, but I'm late meeting my wife as it is.
