Purchasing

I have come up with a new method to purchase in game items such as new character slots and server transfers. By adding all of the Purchasable things into a 'Shopping Basket' and adding things from a column into a list of things you want to buy aswell as new things available.

you are able to purchase more than one thing at once and have more options to purchace, heres a small diagram.

PURCHASE--------------------LIST
Character Slots-----------------X
Server Transfer-----------------O
Rename character--------------O
Change 1 Powerset-------------X
Change 2 Powersets------------X
Change Origin------------------O
Buy VIP pack-------------------X
Buy Wedding Pack--------------X
Buy Pre-order addition----------O
Buy DVD edition----------------O

TOTAL COST:----------------£____

In addition to this, when there is a new issue with a few new powerset changes, proliferations or new powersets, they will have the option to Buy an archetype transfer, but must be approved with reason by a in-game moderator.

This will surely improve the System of purchasing and players can change parts of their character that they dont like, Getting a new Powerset that suits there character or made a mistake in.

/signed to shopping cart. Although I don't really like AT transfer. You have a AT stick with it, I say.

agree with the shopping cart idea so /signed

but dont agree with the powerset change. my resoning: some powersets are more difficult than others to manage properly and to play through missions (dark/dark vs undead, ar vs undead - I know i hit a wall against CoT spirits with my AR, had to rely on my secondary elec to get through mission).

Also, I think you learn the powerset by playing up through it. If you just drop in near the end you miss the subtle power quirks and combos. Will result in sloppy play.

I agree it can be a pain when a new issue gets released and there's a power set you'd like to use but thems the breaks, and its also the carrot to create a new alt

I forgot one vital thing to the list

XP transfer

when ya are tired of having an unused character on your slots you can delete him/her/it and transfer the XP to another character, although there is a catch, you can only buy a quater of it unless you purchase the other 3 with it.

and also, the AT transfer, well, its for those who have based there character on something like a Storm/Cold type but had to stick with a Controller, then the proliferation came out offering Storm/Ice Defenders and they may want that instead, they cannot change thier character completely, but to something similar.

/marginally signed

Using a shopping cart to, um, shop isn't exactly a revolutionary concept, but on the other hand it would be a bit handier so have a slight signage on that account.


On the other hand, a suggestion that on first inspection's just to bring in a shopping cart but then slips in major game-related issues (Powerset Respec, XP transfer) as minor side issues is missing the point of threads.

/unsigned on all the extras - if you want, start new threads so I can unsign them properly there.

Hey, I am intelligent, devastatingly handsome and supremely witty[1], but even so I'm not (yet!) the ultimate of arbiter of whether an idea's good or bad.

You suggestion wasn't one I'd have gone for, but in the end the only ones that decide whether an idea's good are the devs, if they actually implement it.

So, keep them coming.


[1] But, despite all that, wonderfully modest too.

Totally against any form of XP transfer but the rest is meh

...Meh? is that you cant be bothered explaining further or you dont care wheather it goes in or not?

Anyway, Powerset change would be good for those with maces/axes/swords who want the shield in the upcoming issue but cant because of thier already current Defense set.

I personally think we should have AT change too, an example is Villains with Ninjas/Trick arrow sometimes pick that just for the bow, but when Archery gets proliferated they cant change thier choice.

both of these examples apply to many other powers with a proliferated or upcoming proliferated powerset that they wanted originally.

meh = extreme ambivalence

As for Powerset/AT change also NO NO NO

Play the toon you made or play a different one.

If proliferation offers you anotehr choice, then make a new toon. Simple as.

If you want something that can be all things to all men, I suggest plasticene
