Sexy nurse replaced her + headband with a reflector.

Tempted to make a male character (*gasp!* so uncharacteristic of me, I know) for a Death Knight. The death goggles are just so cool combined with glow eyes.

This booster pack is a total rip off. They are charging $10 to do something that should have been built into the tailor to begin with.

Frankly, I don't see how you guys can stand for this.

The costume sucks. The animations are cool, but the gender change? THat should have been available all along.

MC Soft = Sony now I guess...no, wait...at least Sony gives you a bigger world with each paid expansion...and more levels.

RIP OFF for a a bunch of suckers.

More and more, I'm disliking the way things are turning in htis game.

Why do you care what other people want to do with their hard-earned money? If anyone's a sucker, you are, because you gripe about the game with every one of your posts and yet still pay to play.

If you're gonna rip on the company, at least get the name right.

More and more I'm disliking all the whining, [WARNING EXPLICIT LYRICS] and moaning that goes on in the game and on the boards.

If you're comparing a $10 competely optional add-on to a $30-$40+ full expansion then you're in no position to make any intelligent judgment of the people that do like it.

...but what the hell did they do to the costume editor? Auras no longer show up while editing, which makes things rather fun...

Plus the server log-in screen freezes your characters in place, and in fact clipped the wings completely off of one of my characters. ZOMG WHAT HAPPENED TO HER WINGS...??

I log in and character still actually had her wings, for which I am grateful. But seems like we got a few new bugs.

Dr_Darkspeed · 07-15-2009 04:06 PM

There is maintence tomorrow to fix the animation bugs.

It's not an expansion, it's a mini-pack.

But y'know, you're right. They shouldn't put out anything to make some extra money to keep a 5 year old game afloat. I'd rather they just shut the game down when they don't make enough each month to run it anymore.

[/ QUOTE ]
Oh please. $15.00 per month from over 40k subscribers...this game isn't going anywhere right now. This is all about lining their pockets by selling us features that should have been there all along.

I can understand paying for things like the Mac Pack and the sort,,,but this one is a total, complete rip off.

I care because I'm NOT going to spend the money, and as a result, I don't get something I should get for my monthly subscription...and I might add the monthly subscription is over priced for a game this old.

Since novelty seems to be an issue, perhaps it's time to find something newer for you, and move along to verdant pastures with greener grass. Because, well, you know...

And THAT is your standard response to anyone who voices a complaint here. I don't have to move on...but I do pay to play, and as a customer I have the right to complain when I don't like something that is basically stealing from me.

I think you mean my standard response as of late. In which case, I will give you the expanded response.

To use your logical argument, as a paying customer, I feel that I am getting my money's worth.

If we are to use a democratic allegory, does that mean that we are at an impasse?

I will argue, since we are using a democratic allegory, that subscribers do vote for products through their purchases and subscriptions. Hence my previous post.

However, I can also see your point. A paying customer has the right to complain - within reason. However, as another poster pointed out, your comparison of a booster pack to a full-fledge expansion is false, both in scope and correlated expected cost.

And although I feel that something as utilitarian as the ability to change a character's height or size/ gender should not have been released on an origin-specific expansion pack (perhaps a generic add-on or as a normal patch), it is not enough of an impasse for me to post with the vehemence displayed by so many other posters.

In fact, given the general state of certain event in real life, I'm often dumbfounded as to why the often vehemently-worded complaints posted on video game forums such as the City of Heroes forums exist at all. There is, IMHO, a fine line between constructive criticism and a rant; I believe that many posters have taken your post as the latter.

In closing, to return to a standard response in such cases, "Lighten up Francis."

Knightfox · 07-15-2009 04:40 PM

If you're not praising the game, your opinion doesn't count. Or so I've come to realize.

Forbin_Project · 07-15-2009 04:46 PM

Stealing from you? Yeah that's a load of BS. You didn't buy the booster so you're not out any money. Your sub fee only gets you access to the servers. The company doesn't promise anything more than that.

On the contrary - if your only contribution to the discussion is a rant, vice any sort of constructive feedback (critical or otherwise), one can't be expected to be greeted with courtesy and seriousness.

For example:

[ QUOTE ]
Although I purchased the Super Booster Pack, I disagree with how gender/ size changing is a part of this. In my opinion, this feature should have been available within a standard Issue or patch update, or at the least a generic, non-Science-based booster (since this sort of thing could be RPd with various non-scientific devices). I think that it was a poor decision to use this feature as a carrot to this add-on pack, and another power or mechanism should have been used instead.

How can something be stolen if it was never in one's possession to begin with? This is a new booster, correct?

To play Devil's Advocate, as a person who's worked with customers in the past, sometimes loosing problem customers is a good thing, because it frees one up to pursue other things that benefit the majority of (hopefully) loyal customers. That's not to say that squeaky wheels don't get the grease, but some wheels will squeak no matter how much grease is applied, which can take time and money away from loyal customers. A former poster by the name of Cambios would be a good CoX corollary.

Also, forum posters (supposedly) represent a mere fraction of the playerbase. It's the majority of non-posting players developers need to worry about.

Shadow Ravenwolf · 07-15-2009 05:04 PM

If I remember right, the whole Super Booster Expansion was broken down into 5 parts. Each part was/is to be based off of one of the 5 origins within the game.

We knew before any of these boosters ever materialized from the ether that it was going to be $50.00 for all 5, or any $10 increment there in.

Buggy? Yes. Are the Devs working on fixing these issues? Yes.

I would like to see the height slider with some numerical scale, but in the mean time I support this endeavor by our Devs.

I have often thought the exact same thing.

Praise is not the only possible valid feedback to the game, although I realize that "leave the game immediately if you don't like [x]" is our standard meaningless deflection anytime anyone isn't busy kowtowing. HOW DARE THEY NOT KOWTOW...??!!

Differing opinions FTW.

Perhaps another game and its associated forums would serve you better, since negative feedback seems to be a problem for you. Heat/kitchens/tolerance, etc.
