I love how, apparently, someone who argues against ridiculously entitled behavior is a "fanboy", no matter their actual posting history with respect to supporting the devs in general.

I can think the devs could have done this better and think a bunch of posters in here are being whiny tools.

This is the really important part for PS to take away from this entire past four months. If they don't and they dwell on "anything" other than their improvement then that will just be a missed opportunity and a ball dropped.

They cannot afford to take side in/on "ANY" player vs player debate, to do so would be nothing less than abject failure.

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Cancelling multiple CoH VIP accounts once the new MMO I'm waiting on is released. Was planning on playing both, but only out of a feeling of loyalty to CoH, which sadly has been squandered.
Can I have your stuff?

The devs never gave a date as to when Staff was gonna come out before today. We wouldn't even be seeing Staff at all if it weren't for the Freedom business model. Just because something was put up on Beta doesn't automatically make everyone entitled to receive it the very next month. So, yeah, people are whining about not getting it nao.

January> February>March>April 10th release date given. That is not quite NAO and it is intellectually dishonesty to describe it as such.

You and me both, on both counts. My DP/Kin needs faster animations!

You would think there would be more 'yay staff fighting', but, well, yeah. The signal-to-implied-facepalm ratio around here has only been getting worse as of late, and I'll just leave it at that.

^^^This guy...just kidding.

But in all seriousness, I was super excited to finish the last 5 levels on my SJ/WP brute and get all incarnate beefed, but now? Now I shall lay dormant and await the moment The Pole Rider can join the heros of the city!

Not the real name...but I couldn't think of one this quickly.

As said before my only complaint this week was that the offerings were frankly subpar in my opinion.

I'd also consider this the first week where they've failed on their goal of 'a new thing for the market every week'. IO sets are not new, they're rehased content. I would have happily bought the Panther travel power (though my tinfoil hattedness says it got held back since a lot of people complained about the devs spamming the four legged rig).

Badge Earned: Wing Clipper

A real showstopper!

4 months isn't an unreasonable amount of time for a piece of development to stay in alpha/beta. Especially considering they only got around to fixing / updating the sounds this week. Their big mistake was letting it get seen way too early, thus resulting in this orgy of want.

I hope they learn from that and get better at withholding their secrets for longer going forward (but looking at the current leaks on beta I doubt it).

Fine by me, it was a horrible goal to begin with. "Something, anything, no matter how shoddy as long as it's new every week" is simply not something I want the development team to aspire to. Far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't be one bit upset if they only released new stuff on the Market every month, with every week just seeing random promotional sales. Good stuff takes time to make, and I'd rather they had more time to make it.

Nope nothing about that. I was saying 4 months is not asking for it NAO, that's what I said. I have already commented on the rest.

Get some boneless chicken!

Bacon wrapped chicken and bacon wrapped porkchops is oh so yummy! Bacon wrapped steak isn't to bad either.

Dual Pistols is one of the primary reasons I gave up on Blasters. The set looks AMAZING, yet the overlong animations kept killing me. Faced with the moral dissonance of disliking something I actually rather like, I opted to instead vacate the whole AT. I'd rather play one which can absorb sub par set performance if I can make it look awesome.

I am a programmer, and I can tell you with confidence that everything is trivially easy to implement.

(at least that's the impression I get when our marketing department pitches a new sale)

I do agree about more slots per server.

I don't have a problem with this. It's a holiday and even the Devs and Paragon staff [fighting] are allowed out sometimes. It just means we have to wait a few extra days for more awesome and not every week will be stupendous.
