The UI on that "rank these features from 1 to 15" sucks. I had the devil's own time with that.

It was like a bubble test from college. Get one wrong and have to start all over.

Yeah, that was kind of ridiculous.

I'm filling this out right now, but it's kinda difficult when the neutral option is "meh" - that sounds more dismissive of something, rather than being not that interested in them
Like with the new power sets, I like seeing them in action, but I'll never use them myself, so I'd give that a neutral score, but it seems mean to write "meh" to something that's had a lot of time and effort spent on it

Cool! I did the survey!

And I'm gonna share two answers.

What do you want to see in future Super Packs?
I'm not 100% certain what the current SPs contain, so I may repeat items.

Double XP Boosters
Enhancement Converters
Salvage Bundle (A Common, Uncommon, or Rare 'token' that can be 'redeemed' like a Super Pack, and will grant you, say, 10/5/3 pieces of Common/Uncommon/Rare Invention Salvage)
The Warwolf Temp Power from the market
The various Temp Powers that you can craft via recipes (like the Louisville Slugger, Envenomed Dagger, etc)
And, of course, a new costume set.
Oh! The Hero Gear Kit! YEAH!

What new items would you like to see added to the Paragon Market?
Patrol XP Booster Temp Power Thingers, in 1, 3, and 5 Charge versions.

A Staff Weapon Pack.

A Gear Pack, containing two new models for each weapon type in the game (Axes, Bows, Claws, Maces, Pistols, Rifles, Swords, Staffs, and Shields).

Finished and nice little survey it was, hard to put them all in a list of importance to me though Well apart from the bottom 3 *shrug*

My new item for the paragon market? A new zone TP power which summons a portal for you/team to click on and tp to any zone ingame, a nice little feature i thought wouldnt take too much time to make.
Of course suggesting new items might have been wide of the mark there


@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

Nice survey. Gets to the point.

I couldn't think of much I wanted on the Paragon Market that isn't already there, except for one thing: A permanent unlock of the Costume Recipe costumes. Wouldn't it be nice to make a character with rocket boots from level 1?

Mine probably stands out, though. I picked Underground as my favorite iTrial. I just like the hordes and hordes of enemies and it's a classic dungeon crawl.

Done.

Filling that 1-15 bit on an iPad was a bit painful. A smart form would indicate via colour changes on the headers which ones had been selected.

For things I want to see in the market, I voted for the Black Knight Armour, the missing Circle of Thorns pieces and a male Kheldian Sash.

Hm awesome survey, I whined in Union Chat (as you can guess, "the" union chat channel) that people should fill it in...
...
... and well they have to say cyberpunk is awesome
From the glance on Ustream it looked great, still haven't been able to find a decent picture of it... *looks at Zwillinger*

I personally am really looking forward to the whole "put your character in a movie" thing, and the magistrium trial (please don't mind the spelling )...well many of my characters started there including my main.
Luckily they never liked Cole.

For what I want in the Paragon Market, nothing special really, some really nice ideas been mentioned on this thread. And I am pro-Tier 9 VIP (celestial when it disappears in issue 23 for example) to be available to all VIP's after... and perhaps even Premium *after*.

Yeah, could anyone tell me why the costume packs (CoT, Carny etc) get released and don't have some key pieces. I thought for sure the CoT pack would contain that cool back detail. I jumped on that pack just because I ASSUMED it would be included. That was a royal screw job What gives? Seriously.

Thank you very much for opening this up to all of us to answer!

I felt the same way.
My neutral is a bit more optimistic/enthusiastic than that!



I had a hard time answering Number 8,"Do you think we should offer VIP exclusive items in the Paragon Market?", because, while my answer is "yes" I feel like it could be a case-by-case basis on whether or not they'd be permanently held from nonVIPs or opened up eventually.
I ended up answering permanently, just to show that I do support that, if the case seems to call for it (possibly rotated out VIP Tier 9 costumes).


I also said that I run Trials and Solo Incarnate content, but I listed "none, I don't run trials" as my answer to my favorite, because 1) I don't really have a single favorite and 2) I still haven't run a few of the later ones!!



Also... the "most exciting future additions" was easy... MORE POWER CUSTOMIZATION!

I really want Sig Hero/Villian weapon tradable recipes to be added to Booster Packs. Infernals Axe and Battle Maidens Halbert, BABs Gloves etc (or their auras/costumes/effects for those who dont really use thingies for their toons) would make for great costumes and trading, IMO.

I put MoM as my favorite Trial, because it's pretty challenging and features some big story moments - the new Magisterium Trial would have topped the list, as I've been waiting almost 2 years now to finally smash Tyrant and his loyalist dictatorship, but it wasn't an option

...one thing this game needs less of is vanity pets....IMO, of course!
i went and suggested the Nemesis Steam Horse as a Super Pack pet.
And i completely forgot to suggest bringing back the Malaise pants.

I put "unique emotes" as the thing I'd like to see in Superpacks, and more hairstyles and higher resolution faces as the things for the Paragon Market - my choice for what I wa smosty looking ofrward too was "other - zone revamps with story arcs using the modern post-GR sophisticated storytelling tech and style

I gave low markings for some things because I don't have enough information about them.

On the other hand, being that I know what the leaks the initially proposed abilities and setups found in Water, Nature, and Bio are, I'm ecstatic about them. All three, plus [Suspiciously absent Melee set] all look absolutely fantastic and I can only hope older sets will get tweaks based on the new mechanics.

In the section about things added to the market, I added Epic/Patron customization. Seems to me like the only way we're going to get it is if we pay extra for it.

MoM would be my #2. I put TPN as my number one because it feels like you're always on the move and not just standing around like BAF. Plus, the 60 threads is a nice incentive.

As to what I'd like to see in the game, I'd like to see Incarnate version of existing TFs. This would be a setting you choose during the TF set up and it would allow you to run solo or in a team. Basically, it's just a more difficult version of the TF with AVs/Elites interspersed throughout. Think of Hell mode Diablo as opposed to Normal/Nightmare. This would breath in so much life in to the game for someone like me who wants to do more with their 50s aside from running trials all the time. I think many people would welcome something that's actually challenging in a team (not league) setting and I believe this would be the perfect method. These wouldn't be required but would still give some sort of reward (maybe incarnate junk).

I asked for something like this at the PAX prime panel last year and Posi replied in saying that this is something he's been thinking about and would like to see added, but I get the feeling that this is something that has fallen to the wayside.

I'd be interested in seeing something like this, but in abbreviated form, like the Break Out and Outbreak missions from the Intro to Ouroboros arc.

I really hope Paragon surveys the players more often. Perhaps a pop-up in-game would be helpful as well so people know this survey is out. We all know a small amount of players visit the forums.

I listed the Underground as my favorite trial. Likely sets me in an extreme minority, but I enjoy the dungeon crawl feel the trial has to it and the story is actually pretty decent. The challenges aren't bad and the Avatar isn't that bad, albeit a tad binary in terms of winning/losing. I just think it's fun.

hard to say what my #2 would be, there are a lot of them that're fairly worthwhile.
