So if nothing "new" is added to the Market today

Which IDF?

And I missed the fist parts last time, so that's good news for me.



Shame there's no Nature Affinity though

Ah, oh well. Weirdly enough even though I've seen every one of those movies dozens of times, all of them even when they were originally released in theaters, I've never really had much overriding desire to play a MMO set in that universe. That's probably why I didn't remember it. *shrugs*

Of course you have. No other verb would really work there, would it?

That's the one that actually launched last year, and within 6 months supposedly peaked at 2 million customers then dropped to under a million but over five hundred thousand, with five hundred thousand being the minimum they reported they need to turn a profit.

The fall thing is their desperate attempt to save the game by hurriedly switching to a hybrid f2p business model.

And for the record despite it's many glaring faults I do hope they can save the game. I like that IP much more than the tribble game.

With my avatar I had to use that verb.

Yes. We are attempting to follow forum rules by not mentioning competing game names which is a no no.

I missed them as well back at Halloween, will probably pick them up this time around. So there is a benefit to bringing unavailable items back on the market.

Good to hear from people who are (somewhat) pleased by the sale offerings.

Personally I'm not against the sales. I would however be very pleased if the devs would/could implement a regular schedule of when we could expect brand new things to be introduced so I can plan ahead and have points ready for the shinies.

I'd be thrilled if they could do it once a month but I realize that might be cutting things too close and once every 6-8 weeks might be more reasonable.

this fan doesn't expect anything in particular from week to week.

over the course of a month, yeah it's nice to get genuinely new stuff.


This week I'm VERY HAPPY to get the fish parts, which I have coveted since seeing them used to good effect in the 'post your best costume' thread.

Why would that have any impact on what's going on here in CoH?

I was going to buy it, but now I have to hope my tips add up quick enough
It's a pair of them - Ranger and Olympian guard, I think.

i'm guessing its because people have noted that we have big news released around when big name gaming events happen, like major releases. I'll admit that while I dont care for the game, since the expansion is bringing a heavily eastern themed zone and a martial artist class, i would be more excited about that release than any.

As for nature affinity, the facebook thing said soon, so im guessing next week, which is still in month. It is a set I am really looking forward to because i want to make a nature/water defender, that was fun on beta. We did just get beta last week, so its not like we are exactly bereft of shineys right now, ya know?

So let me get this straight, of ALL the IDF enemies, including Seers, Heavy Troopers, Commanders etc.

They give us costumes of the enemies that we have specific costume parts of? And that have nothing special about them?

Not quite-- the Rangers have that incredibly detailed chest piece with the antennae on the back.

Which I really wish we had access to.

You're thinking of the Elite Ranger. The regular Ranger doesn't have the back piece.

Guild Wars (the original) isn't really a MMORPG. When it launched Arenanet went to some pains to attempt to distinguish it from real persistent world RPG's by calling it a MMCRPG - Massively Multiplayer Competitive RPG.

Guild Wars was not originally intended to be focused on the RPG side of things. At it's core it's a PvP Arena game based around organized teams; hence the Guilds. The RPG was sort of a side-game that gave you an excuse to acquire your skills and learn to use them before you jumped into the PvP end game.

Essentially, at its core Guild Wars is a series of matchmaking lobbies with strings of instanced battle scenarios attached to them. It has the trappings of a MMORPG but the gameplay is only marginally related to what most gamers think of as a MMORPG.

Of course,that didn't prevent most new players from approaching it as a MMORPG and judging it as one. Likewise, while Guild Wars does have a strong PvP community, the PvE community quickly eclipsed it like pretty much every other MMORPG ever made. The upshot is that over the years the game has developed a lot more on the PvE side of things than on the PvP side. The core gameplay is still what it always has been, though.

In short, if you approach it as a persistent world MMORPG like City of Heroes it will appear to come up short, but that's just because it's NOT a persistent world MMORPG. If you take it on its own terms, it's a pretty entertaining game, despite the old-fashioned "geography dictates your path because there's no Z-axis" design of the instances. There's a lot of great story-telling going on, which is one reason that players are so hyped-up about Guild Wars 2.

Yeah, sorry. I realize that comes off like a Guild Wars advertisement but at least it's another NCSoft game, heh. I always feel this knee jerk need to say something when I see people talking about its shortcomings as a MMO when it's not really a MMO in the strict sense.

Actually you are allowed to mention other games. The rules are just against having discussions about those games.
We can say the names, no problemo.
Also, I understand it can be a little confusing, because the rules have been altered a bit a few times.

Careful. Discussing how the mods enforce the rules may also be considered a forum violation.

So yeah, it's two "NPC transformations" that transform you into something you could easily make yourself.

If you find the costume powers fun, it's because you enjoy the ability to toggle them on and off at a moment's notice without the bother or complications of designing a costume or consuming a costume slot. The ability to make something close or identical doesn't really play into it, IMO.
