i17.. Did some1 say 'Content'?

You don't actually get rewarded for any of these. All they do is waste your time and introduce you to things you already know about and may or may not have already decided to visit or ignore.

So do contraband and contract killings, but we all pretend we don't do any of that stuff and instead insist we pay our bill in morally superior ways, like being paid to pet kittens and walk people's grandmas across the street.

I'm sure I had a point in there somewhere.

Well, if you visit Wincott preemptively you won't be given the mission to talk to him later.

Oh I know. I usually combine a couple of those and do them at the same time. I really like the Faultline and Stephanie Peebles arcs anyway. About half the time I do David Wincott and Flux's arcs as well.

I was thinking of the last thread I read where people were hoping the developers would spend time revamping low level content to remove those specific missions. Adding some content would be nice but those missions do have a purpose. At least they reward you with a mission complete bonus when you do them.

there once was a squid from nantuckett...

Wait a minute...

You're tired of getting QoL improvements when we still don't have one particular QoL improvement?

...?!

We don't?

You need to update that client of yours sometime, sweety!

I think I'm lost here. I'm fully up-to-date and love all the QoL improvements we've gotten. I think they're some of the best updates we've had (even without much new story content).

Sin_Stalker commented that he was tired of QoL improvements when we still don't have back details. I was finding humor in the idea that one could be tired of QoL improvements because he was lacking one particular QoL improvement (i.e., back details are QoL).

I got to 50 for EATs. I don't mind if others unlock them at earlier levels. I dont think its unfair.

Posi is my favourite solo pastime. Espically on my ill/kin.

The dves probably found that out, so the change will be targeted at you.

I doubt it, my times would of up'd the average of speed runs.

But their gaming pleasure monitoring network would still have detected an illegally high amount of enjoyment coming from your avatar while on the Positron TF, so they would have taken steps.

When I think of QoL improvements I think of the control system, all the HUDs and whatnot. Back Details, while it would improve my quality of gameplay greatly and allow me to make the War Witch/Apex comic I've been wanting to make (other comics available at justiceknights.net and cohcomicindex.com) it is more of a feature than a quality.

So when they list QoL, at least in the past, it's been updates to how you use your controls, view stuff and interact, not actual items or costume pieces or missions or powers or whatever else including Back Details.

P.S> BACK DETAILS NOWWWW!!!! >=d

*shifty look* yeah that's right. The illegal high is from this taskforce, Officer. *flushing sounds*

I'm on board for a plethora of back details as well. I'd love jetpacks on some of my tech/armored flyers, military packs, quivers, and so forth. Count me in.

I've just always figured cosmetic items -- no matter how cool looking -- are quality of life since they don't impact gameplay mechanics. For example, power colorization is QoL, but 'way cool and makes different characters with the same powers "feel" different.

Semantics to be sure. For that reason, the comment struck me as humorous. No slight intended.

I think there is a bit of a spectrum here and of course personal perception is key. As I was typing that I was thinking where power customization falls and when looking at it, I consider it there in the middle between both.

Then again with your logic, even adding in a new power or content would "improve our quality of life".

Not at all. A new power is not a cosmetic change; it affects your character's abilities and functionality within the game -- especially when considering that enhancement options can lead to variations in the power. New content is never just cosmetic; it provides new story and experience.

A costume part or color change is purely cosmetic. It's fun and I want more (lots more), but it doesn't change my character's abilities nor technically affect content or gameplay mechanics. That's why I tend to put it into the QoL category.

Yeah, I don't think sticking my Broad Sword up my butt is working out too well. I may be causing internal damage.

At this stage it's an ongoing and interesting conversation that mostly ignores the OP. Then again i'd say that was true by the end of the first page.

I agree with this, 20 is way too low in my opinion.

For this, I am guessing that BAB's team had some free time on their hands.

Don't hold your breath. I have seen where Jay has said that if he can help it, there would be no more "Furry" pieces added (paraphrasing). Yes it was a while ago, but I sure haven't seen any new ones in a long time.

I have to agree with you here. I really wonder at time why complex things get added, but the simple things get explained away with "clipping", yet similar items exist in game that clip and no one cares. I STILL want non flapping glider type tech wings.

More 50 content is great especially if I can get to unlock Rularuu weapons without waiting to level 35 and Technician Naylor's arc. I would love to run my Villains through some of those shard TF's that heroes complain about.

Other than that, I think that reworking the Posi TF is a good idea, as long as there is some datamining done that awards the correct amount of merits. Remember, no one did Posi unless they had to before merits. It has been complained about since I have been here. What is being done is something that has floated around the suggestion forum for a while.

Or perhaps CO rearranged their priority list a bit?
