Another one here who wants tuxedo-jacketed males to be able to use wings..Iron Angel North would kill to be able to do that!

Last year did we get a V-Day event and new costume pieces for free? As far as I remember we did.
[/ QUOTE ]
Funnily enough, we do this year as well...
[/ QUOTE ]
My point was last year the deveolpers were allowed to program an entire new event and did not have to charge anything for anything. This year we do get an event, but it is the same one that we got last year (ie. no new code). However, from what it sounds like NCSoft did not want the developers "developing" anything unless they could make extra money off of it.
[/ QUOTE ]
That's what I'm hearing. NC $Soft took over, no new events unless you're willing to pay extra for 'em.
Let me make this clear: If that damned test server only one time "wedding" was depending on *MY* purchasing this $10 wedding pack, as well as any future events like it, then my response is "shove it".
What did they add to the actual V-Day event this year, on the LIVE servers? *ONE* mission in the starting cities? That's it? No badge, no rewards, no costume pieces, no temp powers?
Did I miss something when I went to Pocket D and found the same ol' same ol'?
Considering the "new" content for Winter this year was a ski run.. doesn't look like I missed anything at all.
F- NC Soft. City of Heroes is dead.
[ QUOTE ]
I just wish they added more stuff for the males. . . but hey thats just me.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, I went through the females' costumes... variants on at least 3 existing costumes plus the wedding dress plus the tux.... And guys get....the tux.

[/ QUOTE ]Or they could be, as Castle admitted to being, swamped with stuff for I12.
I sent a PM to Castle about a suggestion for this year's VDay event weeks ago, and he said there wasn't time to add anything to this year's event.

That's a great way to respond to people who are upset. I mean why try and make people happy or talk rationally about the subject when we can tell ridicule them. If NCSoft upsets too much of its audience then it might suffer when the two new Superhero MMOs come out and then the population will drop. Again the reason I am fighting this is because I have played more than 15 MMOs and a lot of them have failed because the publisher pulled really stupid tricks. I would really not like to see CoH go the way of SWG or MxO. Yes those were extreme cases, but it could happen if NCSoft screws people.

No, it's a way to respond to people who are being whiny little brats. If he's gonna leave over little paid goody packs like this, then good smegging riddance.

He's going to leave the game because NCSoft feels that the >$1.5 Million they bring in monthly isn't good enough to warrent new content. As he said if it continues happening then he will quit because it is showing a trend.
Prismist is right. Cyberelf is not the only one who feels this way. I feel that way as well.
The changes recently just smack of a downward spiral. We've got the game's ownership changing hands - despite how it has been portrayed this is almost always a very bad sign. Recent updates just smack of desperation, "More XP, less debt! Please come back to playing..." Now we're already starting to see "premium" content, and exceedingly light "free" content that used to have at least SOMETHING there. (Then again, Valentine's Day events always have been pretty light. Then again... all the events have been light. *sigh*)
On the flip side, we've been hearing about record increases to servers.... or more accurately, *A* server. I'm wondering how much of that is because of transfers. What are the global numbers?
It just smacks of bail out attempts and desperately clinging onto what's left. Whether or not that's that case, that is the appearence these tricks give off, becuase these are the tricks so many companies have tried before.

Why are people so upset about a company trying to make money? Welcome to capitalism, guys! You want it, you buy it. You don't want it, you don't buy it.

They are clearly testing this to see what the response is, my VALID response if hell no. Don't defend mediocrity! It doesn't help you or the game. If this pack had something worth the price that would be one thing - this is a costume and three emotes.
All I said was I won't be buying it and IF this becomes a trend, I won't continue to subscribe as I have done for 3+ years. I'm neither a whiner or a hater. My feelings are just as valid as yours. Of course, if you are 12 you won't understand that, if you're a day over 12 get over yourself.

[/ QUOTE ]and conversely, my feelings are as valid as yours, and i found it worth it, so stop the name calling and acting like you are on some moral high ground to tell me what i can or cant spend my money on, or its relative worth. quit if you want to quit, thats your call, but to tell me that im defending mediocrity by buying a pack that i find is worth the money, is you shoving your nose in my affairs. get over your own over-inflated sense of self, and get the hell out of my business.

If he thinks that then he's a bloody idiot. There's no indication whatsoever that they're going to stop giving us new content, and this is certainly not the first goody pack they've charged us for. A customer who's a knee-jerk complainer is one that a company tends to be better off without usually.

But see my feelings that the pack is cool and that I'm happy to buy it is just as valid.
See I liked and I bought it and I likely would buy more and think they where cool. This is just as valid of an emotional reaction.
Do I think it would have been better priced at $5.00? Yes, but $9.99 wasn't out of my reach for something I don't mind buying.

I agree that you view is valid. The only reason I am posting an argument is because I think that if it does continue then free updates will suffer and the pay-per-pack will excalate in what they have.

To counter you, then, I'll promise to always buy them, but (might) leave if they give what I purchased away for free. M'kay?

If I was worried that free updates where threatened I would be concerned but I expect that the occasional pack like this one will come out in addition to the regular free updates. So I'm not expecting the free updates and costume parts etc to suffer for it.
I think I would be more concerned if the valantines pack had contained some substantial power. Then I might be concerned that new power development would go towards pay packs. Fluff on the other claw I'm not so worried about.

It might not come to what I believe, but I do feel NCSoft is taking it's first step towards adding things like powers and stuff that you may not need, but if you don't have oyur out. And I think if they feel they can get away with it they will make the updates suffer.
