Discussion: Featured Items at the Paragon Market - 8/14/12

Lots of good sales for Premium players and I think that's fine. As a VIP this week didn't offer much of anything I didn't have, but there's nothing wrong with that. I will admit this summer does seem to have been -very- dry in terms of market goodies that has everyone jumping for joy, I think in part because we -know- that there are a lot of goodies in tow waiting for release but seem to keep getting put back. The power sets, at least, we know we get a 1 week heads up in a direct statement.

Also, Nature Affinity next week. Squeee

the 21st, in fact!

Any word yet on that whole "using stealth toggles other than hide with costume powers lockout" thing?

While it's long since stopped surprising me I still find it amazing that people aren't satisfied with a month or two between power sets.

Water blast was just last month. Nature affinity is this month. Bio armor could very well be next month.

Just because something's on beta doesn't mean we're automatically entitled to it. Even if it's 'ready'. This is a business.

Sigh, so this is probably gonna push Bio Armor back into the beginning of October. Ugh. Was put into beta at the beginning of June. 4 months in beta. This is Staff Fighting all over again. Or maybe I'm wrong and they won't wait a full month to 6 weeks to release another powerset. But this is Paragon Marketing and I still don't understand their strategy, if they even have one, so it looks like it's going to be a long wait. I hate to sound whiny, but the constant irritation of these release schedules just get to me. Last powerset was June 10th and last costume set was even farther back. Wish they'd just throw all the IO sets on the market instead of counting them towards 'new stuff'. I'm honestly getting sick of all these points accumulating that I have nothing I want to spend them all on. Shouldn't the point be to exhaust me of my free points so I have to spend real money on top of my subscription fee if I want stuff right when it comes out?

....why would you think it won't be coming until october? There's this magical month in between august and october we call September. the Devs have shown if they've got new power sets waiting in the wings they put them out monthly.

Yes, but this is going to be 6 weeks from Water Blast's release. Another 6 weeks would be October 2nd. So, we're still talking late September at the earliest. I'm mostly irritated because I LOVE Bio Armor and am upset I have to wait so long for it when it's ready to go now. I don't have much interest in Nature Affinity, not much wiggle room on what the powers represent (like Water Blast which can be water, blood, oil, acid, etc.) . You control nature and there's no alternative interpretation there. And hey, whiny or not, I am allowed to express my opinion. At least I acknowledge how I sound.

Didn't Nature Affinity and Bio-Armor hit Beta at almost exactly the same time?

One of them had to come first.

<_< I want 4 power sets a week >_> just joking ............maybe...........well i would not mind 3 a week >_> ..............oh alright 2 but that's my final offer .......ONLY GIVING ONE A MONTH ........ that works for me ^o^................<_<...........

but all fun aside it takes a while for every thing and also this company is out to make money as well as making a fun good game. So if i have to wait for them i will i missed the roman set and was able to pick it up a few days ago. You guys are great keep up the good work

Our 2nd account had to go un-subbed for a while.

Can we purchase more than one of the on sale invention and auction licenses to bridge the gap till we can resub? ie: can you 'stack' the invention and auction house licenses?

You know the funny thing about this?
If the IDF costume power had been ANYTHING in the IDF but a basic ranger and/or an Olympian Guard*... I would have bought it.

*Admittedly, the Olympian Guard has a collar and 'inner armor' piece that is not available to players that adds a fully "Heavy body type" look.
