    I, and several others, have had little to no use for the Transfer Tokens included with the sub, so if you're open to suggestions, here's mine:

    Ditch the free monthly token, and replace it with a generic token that, when claimed, can be redeemed for a Server Transfer, Alignment Change, Rename, or Respec. Write the code for the menu so that it's easy to add new items to it, just in case you add new services in the future that would be appropriate to add.

    I'd suggest making it retroactive, but I suspect that there's no difference between the free transfer and the purchased one, so the system wouldn't be able to tell which ones to convert and which to leave.

    Maybe just ditch all the $10 service tokens and make one master token (available in stacks of 1, 3 and 5 with small discounts for the stacks), that can be redeemed for whichever single service you want, via the menu I mentioned above. This would cut down bloat in the market somewhat, and add versatility to the token purchases.
    REALLY good ideas here. Doubt they will do it, but man these are good ideas.
  2. No the failure rate is balanced properly ATM, thanks for asking.

    No "they" didn't "announce" anything of the sort. Where do people get these bum stained rumors from? Oh yeah I know...

    Access cost $2.00 vs the $15.00 it use too. I guess people want IO's to be void of the $2.00 license fee and I say that is looking for too much entitlement. A company has to make money.

    There is nothing anti-social about telling a person that paying $2.00 vs $15.00 is a good deal. You must be talking about someone else or something other than what I said.

    Probably has something to do with some of the discussion surrounding the Supergamble Packs.

    That's likely the snarkiest post I've ever seen from a redname in my 6 years of playing this game. Congrats?
    Hmm... You obviously missed a metric ton of Jacks posts...OBVIOUSLY.

    This would be HUGELY disappointing if it were the case. It appears the only time anything
    gets done to AE its another nerf vs any QOL improvements to search or adding the powersets for the customs like KM and others. IDK seems like they just don't give a damm about anything to improve AE just nerfs. Shame.

    Yeah it is but only in response to repeated entitlement posts.

    It was painful.

    The game was designed with keyboard and mouse in mind, and then you need to work out if the cost of investing resources/cash for the port is worth the pay off.

    And I just don't think it would be. Then you have to consider the Vita's hardware and storage limitations.
    I use a 360 controller, keyboard and mouse to play COX...always have.

    In all truth reading the thread that only started to happen AFTER he was told the deal and then continued to express the entitlement deal.

With great dialogue, cool maps (we were even in a casino!) and interesting custom NPC's, this is an arc worth running!

    Thank you to Big Fire Blaze, Dangerous Red, Radian Lancer, Neon Tempest, Dave the Civil, Alexander Chill and Flint Spark, as well as all the others who showed up at this late hour for helping out!

    This kind of thing is cool and all, but when are you guys going to address the multitude of requests regarding updating the new powers into AE etc...?

    This is what they really meant to say. They have been watching too many network news shows and only know how to communicate via angst and vitriol.

    Yeah I am not the best person for this mate sorry. Nice AOE in three powers, decent ST damage and nice things like Knockup and Knockdown, is about as in depth as I get without some kind of specific question to address.

    He clearly just wants IO's to be free too. IDK, I understand the want part, but beyond that it gets into that weird territory of entitlement.
  18. Staff/WP scrapper 50, Staff/Fire Brute 50. Staff does not have the raw damage output of fire, what does? In terms of it being a solid set, oh yeah baby it is and it will become my main when it hits live.

    I can't really speak about how others do their business, but personally, if I am planning to spend my time in a game I am returning to, I want to be informed of what the current state of the game is rather than being frustrated at my own ignorance, and the only person to blame for not spending the proper amount of time researching is the returning player.
    This is so very very true sir.

    WOW, another young person has passed. IDK what it is but since I returned in August this must be like the 4th or 5th hero to pass away.

    My condolences to his friends and family.

Why would Marketing charge so little for a token when they'd rather the free player purchase GR instead? With the price point where it is, free players now have to make a decision that carries some weight, much like when people had to choose to pay real money to get server transfers when they could simply just re-roll a character on a different server for free.

    They can't limit usage to just people that don't have GR, and they can't trivialize the effort it takes to switch for free if you do have the alignment system unlocked already by undercharging. Hence, you pay 800 points to shortcut.

    Good point that probably needs to be given more consideration.
