The REAL "dear devs" thread

So now we are merged perhaps one of the most common complaints that we are overlooked and the developers do not pay attention to the EU & UK players will be disappearing? I was wondering, maybe a thread like this would be a good idea to post ideas or messages to the developers where they are now more likely to be seen (and maybe even issues brought up get replied to sometimes like it's been done on the US forums since forever? :) [3,401 since 20th April 2007])

It would be really cool if we got the same kind of interaction and I think we should give it a chance Maybe start up a separate costume ideas thread if it gets busy

I for one would like to know if the base editing system will be improved without removing the stacking/no clipping of item placement (Which has resulted in some absolutely stunning bases) and if we'll get new objects added any time soon. It's only been 10 issues or so since we got them.

Pleeese SEXYJAY or anyone, give option for us to have the texture used on ghost widow on outfits: http://tinyurl.com/covtexture
I think it's the same one used on Arachnos widow/soldier outfits too, but it would be nice if just the texture was available for other characters, e.g. you have smooth and sleek (which is like "shiny lite") already, add "shiny"

It would be cool if the new power customisation lets you disable special effects and not just change the colours: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...cts#post366082 super reflexes is a major culprit this really, it's very suitable for Natural origin characters but has loads of extra shiny effects for no real reason other than I guess to make the warcrap people feel more at home

I for one would like a dev to explain why hero epic AT's aren't going to be included in the i16 colour customisation.

And I'm not interested in "IC" reasons, because they're just an artificial reason that can be applied equally to every single AT in the game, so that's not going to wash.

A valid and logical reason why not, if you please.

If you have issues specific to the Euro region, post it here. Otherwise post it in the relevant section of the forum else you defeat the purpose of the merger.

Perhaps a better reason for lack of Kheldian shading is simply that they don't have enough time before I16 and it'll come along at the same time as all the power pools are done.

Sounds logical to me.

Bloody well won't, you know! As an RPer, I and many others already ignore half the game canon anyway, as loads of it is just non-sensical junk.

I'd like to ask the Devs when we might be getting some new map tilesets and layouts, in the hope that some of them could be retroactively applied to existing content. New powersets are always nice, as are new zones with new contacts offering Dev-created content (remember when we used to get those in issues? ). But I dare say that most players spend most of their time inside instances looking at the same decor we've been looking at for the majority of the last 4-5 years.

I need some new areas to play in. Heck, in the interim I'd settle for some art re-skins of the existing lab, office, warehouse, cave, etc maps (style selected randomly upon zoning in from several choices) so that at least the maps would look different on the surface, even though we'd still know the layouts of the rooms (and likely the whole map, in most cases) off by heart.

Damz, you're being logical - are you feeling ill?

That's really helpful Lady Athyna thanks - it is a bit intimidating the sheer amount of forums and posts yeah, and I think you are right Judgmement_Dave, I was a little tired last night/early morning when I decided to check the "new" forum and I should have probably thought about it more

Here is something I intended to take up two weeks ago on the forums upon returning as soon as I noticed it was still there.

Before I left I7 introduced something to endurance which meant alot of ATs even ones who didnt have endurance problems now ran out and broke down faster than an old Russian Plastic car.

I was under the impression this was a bug. But as my character which was pretty much a copy of my old MA scrapper barring he is now Will and not regen is constantly having to stop years later. I see no possible locgical reason for this. The stock answer is balance of course. But what is it balancing? All I am doing is taking longer to complete a mission and spending a fortune on blue insps as well as hoarding my team mates. As I recall all my charcters got a whack with this but I was really suprosed scrappers have this disruption in flow.

If they cant scrap or hit things they cant do anything. I am not that suprosed other ATs had the issue particularly support characters. Although as I say thye all got this end use hike and I think it went way too far. But I guess I would like at least an explanation if I cant convice a change.
