So here's hoping tomorrow's store release...
Blood's right. If the devs gave us our weight in solid gold bricks there would be people on the forums complaining that they didn't give them a wheel barrow to carry it around in.

Edit: Aura Just Went Live
Second Edit: The aura looks better in game than in the CC. Was ho-hum about the individual particles in the CC, but the growth patterns are quite nice when tooling about the world. Good effect. Ideally, the particles for this particular path aura would linger perhaps 50% longer than they do, but there may be some tech limitations regarding this?
Original post:
So the aura is not in the store yet but can be viewed under path auras in the CC:
Autumn Path Aura
Despite the name, it is more of a verdant growth aura. Bushy leaves that grow while standing and running along with leaf particles that bounce off while running. Can be fully recolored to take any color. Looks decent with green. My one Eve-like plant heroine will look great with this aura option. No more repurposing Seismic as green vines.

If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Personally, I feel they should do new sales at least bi-weekly. Maybe then there will be less need for filler.

Feel better by the way, Zwillinger.

Even if we hadn't had today's release spoiled yesterday, this thread would still have been moot since it is impossible to release something more underwhelming than the undead survival kit.
That said, how is anyone complaining about this? New story arcs and a new costume piece? Isn't that exactly the kind of thing everyone tends to hold up as the best stuff they can release? What would you have had them put on sale instead? Are you expecting a new power set every single week?
Whew, sorry! Just slightly baffled that anyone is calling this a lame release.
Well this time last month we got street justice, so while it's silly to constantly badger about it, titan weapons has been hyped since June/July and a WIP since then. Hell, knew about TW before I did Beam rifle, time, Street justice, etc.
Now there IS someone on virtue who got a TW set while it was in stores, and that sort of pisses me off that the toon hasn't been locked or anything. It's like a gigantic "Nah nah boo boo" sort of thing.
Well, later tonight I guess I'll be grabbing me some hero merits *Cracks knuckles*.

Wow, the sense of entitlement lately is a bit odd. I mean, we used to go months with nothing and now people re complaining that there aren't amazing new releases every week.
For me, part 3 of the SSA is just fine on it's own. If the new aura is nice, I would be fine with that one item. I personally don't need to be blown away on a weekly basis. |
While last week's offer was, imo overpriced since it was a single-toon pack, I thought it was appropriately themed. I didn't have interest in buying it, but I didn't think it was a bad offer. I still haven't bought the Halloween pack (can't decide if I just want Bats aura or the whole shebang), or the Circle of Thorns costume pack. Or many other things that were featured on the market.

Sorry, that was sarcasm on my part. Sometimes I forget it doesn't work well over the internet and it slips out. I can easily see people who have some disposable cash and not a lot of free time buying the IO sets they offer (or even just people who don't have a lot of inf but have some spare cash). I know I've seriously debated buying some Thunderstrikes for some of my leveling blasters at least.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
So let me get this right, you'ld all want them to do [for example] a monthly release onto the store than have the SAME items released more regularly?
Of course some weeks [like last week] will seem a bit "meh" and some of you are again going "meh" at this weeks, but i heard a lot of people ingame really liking the aura and even heard a few people thinking of buying mako's bite. Personally i like these small releases every week, some weeks i wont purchase anything while other weeks i'll purchase the lot. Know why i aint complaining? Because they are releasing content/items/costumes/auras at a much higher rate than ever before.
Ah i remember the days of having to go 6 months before issues before anything came out that was new to play with. Plus we're still getting i21.5/i22 worked on Part of my honestly thinks some of you are expecting something groundbreaking and newsworthy every single week, just chill out
The firemans hat so many people also went "meh" at? Yeah i have a friend who went nuts in joy over it because in his words "omg i can be fireman sam finally!"

This is about where I am, too. I'm not up for spending points every week to buy something. I'm not up for buying points to do so. With limited points to work with I'd rather not be blown away each week and feel the need to buy it all now.

Kind of agreed. I'd rather not have anything for two weeks and a certain power set than a few nifty auras. But hey, been looking forward to SSA3 too.

The little weekly tidbits are FINE. Lots of people do enjoy them. Lots of people won't buy them. Personally, I didn't buy the fireman's helmet, the undead survival pack, or any of the permanent NPC changes. Does that mean they shouldn't have been released? Ridiculous. I've seen other folks using them, so what gives me the right to say they shouldn't?
Little tidbits every week is great, and if they were only doing monthly releases, that wouldn't necessarily hurry the powersets we want. It would only raise expectations for that monthly release. And when we get a monthly release with the SSA, the NPC powers, the undead pack and a hat? Then what? Will people clamour to have content releases pushed back to quarterly?
Unreal.

I am very happy about the pacing of the store so far. I was hoping my initial investment of $30 at Freedom launch (+monthly stipend) would last until around Christmas time. At this rate, it just might. I buy almost every costume piece (minus fireperson's hat and school backpack) and powerset, but little else (I did buy 1 extra costume slot, mostly to have more available at lower levels).

In fact, repeating old releases, but at a discount, instead of pretending to release anything new might be a good idea. Do you have any concept of how many things I've bought off Steam not because I wanted them, but because they were on a 66% discount?

Actually, I'd like to say the path aura alone would be a fantastic release for me. The SSA is frosting on the cake. I've been dying for something like this for my dryad character forever!

- Barbarian Costume Pack, Rocket Board, Beam Rifle, Back to school backpack.
- Signature Story Arc, Volcanic Aura, Revival 50% off, Unslotter 50% off, xp booster.

I'm fairly content with not having to get something each week. Saves me money! I do wish the Paragon Rewards would get updated soon though.
I haven't gotten anything the two weeks before this and for this week the only thing of interest (besides the free SSA) is the Autumn Aura. I rather like it! I do wish it had a Heavy setting so the taller foliage could be what shows up instead of just the leaves when you're standing still (more foliage upwards, not outwards so that it doesn't disturb other people's personal space).
