Also, I really don't care how they feel about the Black Knight costumes clipping. They should let us make that decision at this point. They lost that card to play when they put the high collar cape in the game, it clips with every shoulder option there is.

For the other melee, TW has a higher top end. Of course it also has a pretty painful build requirement of 300% recharge in Follow through to reach, which practically requires you to take Spiritual or Ageless.

Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30)) Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

br is not much aoe either, plus, min maxers are a subset of the larger player base, while something may no appeal to them, street fighting was a heavily requested powerset for some time. then again, small numbers yelling loudly dont lead up to sales..im still upset about how many superpacks sold, but ill take that grumble elsewhere, I apparently lost that fight.|

oh, and zyph, since the pummit is not over, i really hope you are right and someone presses about pool customization and additional animation customization, its a ball that has been dropped recently and could use some more gas.
They should totally make it possible to buy items as gifts for other players, and have it up and running before Christmas - they'd make a killing

That is why I want to see them in the market. Because I know if we are willing to pay for them, they will be more willing to develop them.

So anything new announced? I missed pretty much all of it due to the baby shower I was at
Leader of The LEGION/Fallen LEGION on the Liberty server!
SSBB FC: 2062-8881-3944
MKW FC: 4167-4891-5991
Some other items of note before I got cut off by the live feed :P Brilliant design there Ustream. Sure, it loads up the last Recorded vid, then it'll cut out as soon as anything live comes on. Bluh.
Anyway, couple items I saw kind of missing from the above:
Devs asked players a few questions. One was having Unopened superpacks available on the auction house for inf. That is, someone buys say, 40 packs, gets everything they want with 36, drops the remaining 4 on the auction house. Or as something else to do with their T9 extras. Response seemed generally positive.
Nother question posed was having specific items be VIP exclusive on the market, as in you had to be VIP to purchase them. Some response was positive, some was negative and instead suggested making items exclusive for a time or offering items discounted to VIPs.
And that was where the live feed jumped in and cut me off :P

Still need to see how many unique accounts. They also could tell us the average number of packs needed to get the full costume set (it isn't the first 15 packs) or the black wolf pet. |

They have access to that information.
The reason why I'm asking that is that if players are getting the full costume and then buying more packs, that means that they shouldn't have a problem releasing the costumes after a period of time.
They could do this:
- 0-6 Months exclusive to Super Packs.
- Next 3-6 months on the market for VIPs only.
- Next 3-6 months on the market for everyone.

FWIW, a lot of people didn't like them because they knew the packs would be huge sellers and saw it as a dishonest way to empty wallets.|

So you can still hate on them even though they're successful.

I don't think that is what is being counted in the data we are presented with? They are telling us how many things are sold, not how much money they made. :P

Wish I was there for the Pitch a revamp. I'd present the argument for Boomtown that Mr. Murgatroyd would make (channelling every gangster B-movie in the process).

Bleh, Radiation Armor. I turned the Ustream off as soon as that was picked. I'll tune back in for the Costume workshop, but making an armor set has to the most boring panel ever. Like 7 of the powers of any armor set are thematically the same. Hope they still end up trying throwing weapons, that would've been a much better set to do a panel on. Don't get me wrong, armor sets are fine, but there's really not much to discuss about em except for number tweaks. Hope the costume workshop doesn't disappoint as well...

I find it annoying that interesting Control sets were argued, then someone comes along for a Radiation set, says "It's Radiation..." and that's picked.
