Discussion: Two Ways to Get Going Rogue

O M G - your toys are shiny and mine are not so I'm not going to play with you... nyah nyah. You've got to be kidding me ? No I didn't use quotes because that's not what was written, but it sure reads that way to me.

LMAO! Please, Devs... get some more info out before the forumites cyberbully each other into virtual heaps of quivering bits.

I've determined who is correct in this debate.

I hadn’t planned on making any further responses to this thread, but Altoholic had to make it personal. I’ve been told by acquaintances that logic and reasoning shouldn’t be a part of the forum thread and I guess these folks I spoke with are correct. It’s sad, really, because one of the things I could count on for our forum boards was a reasonably intellectual discussion and keeping things rational. Sadly, this isn’t the case so much; these boards seem to have been reduced to the same kind of flaming that is so famous with other games, though I’m truly glad to say it hasn’t taken over completely.

My intention was not to sound or come off as arrogant. If that was the case, I’m truly sorry. I was, however, trying to show folks a common denominator.

Altoholic; what I gave you was an example of how the financial end of things work for GR and trying to give you an easy to understand example of what the Devs have in mind and why those of us who choose to prepurchase GR in March make that choice and why we’re not getting the “free” month. Some of it might have been off, but it was an example only. I was trying to use logic and reasoning to emphasize what was going on. I did not insult you personally, nor did I froth at the mouth and make insulting comments to you. Nor did I feel that I needed to emphasize what you’ve said with very large bold letters or color them so that they remind me of a bodily function. It just shows that perhaps your ability to reason has been reduced to automatically reacting to what’s said rather than pondering it for a moment or two and perhaps reading through again to make sure you got it right.

I make no disagreement that things are tough out there in real life. Things are tough for companies too, or did you forget that? Without our money, games like CoH/V would be out of business and we’d be playing something else that probably wasn’t as good of quality.

Whether you believe it or not (doesn’t matter to me one way or the other. I don’t make a habit of lying), I’m not some rich dude who has scads of money to spend. In fact, my income is rather limited and how I spend that income is my business. I just happened to comment that I’d prefer to spend money on pre-purchasing and calling the new powers “shiney toys” was an emphasis in how excited I was to have early access to powers that I’ve been waiting for since I started this game.

You said that I made your decision for you with regards to teaming with folks who have DP or DS. No, I did not. I may have influenced your decision in some way, but you made that decision all on your own. No one makes decisions for you (unless you let them), and I don’t recall saying, “Altoholic, you are not to team with any one who uses Dual Pistols or Demon Summoning until I say you can” You, yourself, make those decisions.

What I play online is also none of your business but I primarily play heroes as I find a lot of the stories more engaging and fun than the villainside, but judging me on what types of toons I play simply because I’m stating a fact -- go one way or the other financially with regards to Going Rogue -- is rather narrow in thinking.

Now, I think we should change the subject to pie, delicious pie. I, myself, prefer lemon meringue. You?

P.S. Zombie man; love the Youtube link! *thumbsup*

If you're pre-ordering the GR expansion to get the new power sets early, please enjoy them. (I probably will, but haven't fully made up my mind yet.)

However, if you are not pre-ording GR - and money is the issue - don't fret. Because sometime during those "extra" months, Demon Summoning will probably be on the Test Server. So while some of us will be playing with our cops and cowboys, you may be playing with demons in dungeons.

Also, if anyone is concerned about missing out on 2X weekend with the new powerset, consider this: Most of the fun is in leveling up - which is why more than 3/4 of my level 50 toons are sitting on a shelf, gathering dust, and not being played.

(In fact, I took advantage of the free server transfers to move many of them to other servers, to free up space on two servers I primarily play on.)

Regardless of what you do, have as much fun as you possible can.

When I go to the supermarket and I have a list of 10 items, I don't want to make 10 trips, I buy all of what's on my list while I'm there.

Can we please get something like this as a purchase option?

I would simply like to go to the NC store, pre-order/purchase (whatever it's called) the complete collectors edition that gets me the same content and features as if I had pre-purchased the regular version and then went back to the store to purchase the upgrade.

Notice, AGAIN, I am not saying I want 30 free days time or any other variation of something for nothing, in fact, all I want is to give NC the same exact amount of money it was going to cost having to do all of this peacemeal, I just want a one click, one buy option.

Please Devs, simplify this for folks who don't want or have the time to ping pong in and out of the NC store.

I honestly don't think this is too much to ask for.

Looks like I'm going to be spending some money very soon.

Rich the Going Guy

its march...so when does digital prepurchase start? its not on the NCsoft page yet.

Well its March 2nd that it starts on just not sure what time they will have it up

I can afford it just fine. I can also sit on my hands until July and save $15. Plenty of other things to do.

Forgive me if i am wrong, but it seems to me that it is not really a free month of game time. You are still paying for the month, just in the same way.

You know, as I pointed out earlier in the thread... (And may as well point out again.)

EVERY new purchaser of a full collection of CoH gets 30 days free time. This isn't anything NEW. The only difference THIS TIME is that apparently that can be applied to anyone... if you just wait a little longer.

Soooooo when can we pre-order seeing as the double XP weekend is well a few days aways and you clearly said we would be able to do the double pistols during this double XP time.

Everyone has different situations and to me ranting about how little money you have and telling us about your credit is just ridiculous. I am broke half the time, but I dont tell the rest of the world my troubles. The main arguement is, if you can afford it, play it...if you cant, don't.
