Agreed. So essentially not counting going from point A, all the way back to the same alignment, the longest alignment trek would take ~3 weeks? (Ie Hero ->Vigilante ->Villain -> Rogue)
Fortunata Training says: This will end in 'heated discussion' at best...

Edit Nevermind. I just had to be patient.

And does anyone know if they are answering questions that were asked earlier today or just now? I asked a few questions earlier today but I haven't seen a response. Should I repost?
This is annoying, I was really hoping for more to be answered... -_-

imthinking they are waiting to answer the big questions near the end.

Developer estimated time of completion is not the same as min/max player time of completion. I always knew that it would not be something that could be accomplished in a few hours of play.

What does a "week worth's of work" mean anyway? 40 hours of play?

No offense, but I wish they would answer the real questions that people want to know.

IE, the Shadow Shard getting Badges added, when will the Shadow Shard get more content, when will Base Construction/Raiding get that overhaul/fix/big add-on, that was promised a while back, etc...

(At least those are the ones that I want answered, but I'm sure other people want to know as well).

Or Bases. Plus the PVP Community received alot more attention and Dev responses than the Base Building Community did.

If.

you.

say.

so.

Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.

What plans for bases /editing tools are there?

What a waste of internet web space....answering questions like:

"why is this game so awesome?"

Why even answer that question? These questions are like the equivalent of Larry King Live journalism.

That was a big waste of time. I'm glad all the important questions that people asked got answered. You know, like the ones about when is I17 being released, I19 being released, and stupid **** like that.

No offense to any of this, but you guys couldn't give us an answer about Base Construction or Zone Revamps or anything that we've been asking on the forums for years?

It would've been nice if alot more was answered and not just topics that were already known/common sense.

Yeah, or Babwa Wawa asking what kind of tree you'd want to be.


I mean, everyone know the answer to that one...

Heh. The only new info is that it will take a week per morality point.

I tried to ask insightful questions that were general enough not to require secret knowledge, then tried some fluff. No answers. 2 of them I did copy:

The villain arc in i17, besides being excellent, is very player focused. Is this representative of the villain content philosophy going forward? Can we go vigilante without, for example, explicitly working for Emperor Cole or Arachnos?

Is there any chance of getting the option to reacquire vet powers if you, for example, decide you want a fairy instead of a wisp?

A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

Well, I didn't expect it to be a "Can do multiple times a day" thing.

That said, "A week's worth of work" for who - someone playing 2 hours a week, or someone doing 10 hours a day on a team of 8?

Someone needs to make a post of "Stupid Questions the dev team decided to answer for the CoH Developer Q&A Friday, April 23rd! that wasnt already known and already available public information" like:

the release date of i17?
Will there be new powers besides demon summoning and dual pistols
when will i19 be out....
