My thoguht was that AE edition gave a token for a booster pack, and that the advertising mentioned the two which had been announced due largely in part to the fact that msot people can't see in 4 dimensions and so the future remains shrouded in mystery.

I overthought the situation, and after purchasing the edition, discovered my folly. It allows you to choose specifically between SB1 and 2. Having already bought them both, I'm now in somewhat of a lurch. I bought SB3, and emailed support, begging for help essentially.

If I don't get it, it's my own stupid fault, but to anyone who thought as I did reading this, you can't get SB 3 with AE edition.

Thing is, even before they released the Magic Pack they already confirmed that Science was coming after it.

Plus if they were intending it to work on future booster packs they would have worded it "And get your choice of Booster Pack for FREE!"

It still hasn't been denied that I16 is the synchronization patch for Going Rogue.

It hasn't?

Not when BAB says it.

He may be a good Dev (in fact I know he is) but basically nothing he says in this forum about things happening in the future can ever be completely trusted 100%. He has a bad habit of having "limited" credibility in that area whether on purpose or not. Ironically if he's telling the truth here he's "embellished" other statements so much it's hard to take him at face value anymore. *shrugs*

Harrumph!

Don't worry about it, BABs. Lothic has the tendency to not believe any dev about anything they say since the very fact that they are devs makes them untrustworthy liars.

[/ QUOTE ]

Especially since Lothic (last I checked) still not happy that the dves took the time to change the alakazamreact emote to bring up random objects when one the juggle emotes still don't work when hovering (even after it was pointed out that it BAB said it was fixed but got broken again).

Laser Swords starts with L!

Serious answer:

Comic Con is July 23-26. I would expect information to be released around that time.

I hear that you have to do the name three times, like that famous incantation 'Hickman Hickman Hickman'.

By this very incantation however, I have doomed this thread to be anything but serious from now until the trousers of time are threadbare.

What Trousers?

Also, gotta look for situations where body parts that don't convert from model to model (like I saw a screen where a femal toon had a Huge body type chest)

Eh I personally don't see why the Devs felt they had time to tinker with this old emote when they still haven't made it so that a person can use the juggle emotes while Hovering. *shrugs*

[/ QUOTE ]BaBs said it was supposed to work, likely some switch got flipped by mistake and no one noticed in time. But yeah, lets use the 'I don't see why X did Y when they could have been doing Z' excuse for everything!

[/ QUOTE ]
Well in general I'd rather the Devs "waste" their time adding functionality to the game (i.e. emotes that work while Hovering) than mucking about changing things that already work. If they really wanted a random version of the alakazamreact emote that should have been ADDED to the game as a new emote not used to REPLACE something that already worked well enough.

The Devs have a very bad habit of REPLACING things (e.g. costume items) when they should just be ADDING new versions of things.

[/ QUOTE ]

And it's funny how you gloss over certain facts when it doesn't fit your complaining. Like how the post you quoted said that BaBs HAD fixed the Hover Juggle emote problem, but something happened between the time he made the change and the time it went live made it broken again. And he's fixing it again right now.

Now that I think about it even Anti-Matter's and Neuron's bot's bios said they were based on the Clockwork bots.

edit: misremembered. The only mention of Clockwork is in the Nuon's bio and only mentions their similarity to Primal Earth's Clockwork.

Proper format is:

Step 1 turn hair grey
Step 2 Pull out hair at frustration of OSA
Step 3 ???
Step 4 Profit!

I dunno Bill, lately a lot of the things that no one thought would come to the game are either here or on the way.

Flashbacks, side switching, body changing and power customization are a few that jump right out at me. Personally, I hope total respecs never see the light of day. But these guys have surprised me latley.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bill's copy pasta pretty much covers the reasons not to allow this functionality. As far as I am concerned, we'll never allow this...but, of course, I've been wrong before.

[/ QUOTE ]

Mmmmm Copy Pasta. *drools*

I agree that the height slider should be a core game function and not a paid feature of the booster. Changing the Model type? Yes, that you can pay for in the booster.

[ QUOTE ]
It would when both the body type change and height change slider are both part of the booster pack.

[/ QUOTE ]

Air Conditioning and Stereos are both parts of the "Booster Pack" on my Blazer. However, they are not intertwined and dependent upon each other.

Body Type switching and Height sliders are both in the Booster, but they are not interdependent.

[/ QUOTE ]

How do you know they aren't interdependant? Because Castle refered to it in this post as the "'Ultra Tailor' Tech" which sounds like either something they had either just developed or they have had access to. Either way, the way the upgrade is coded could very well mean you can't have the Height Slider without the body type switcher and vice versa.

Also, I love how people who aren't programmers just assume stuff about magical things that could be easily seperated and/or done. Yes, I know I'm assuming as well when I say the tech for the height slider and body switcher is intertwined and inseperable, but it's a reasonable assumption based on the fact of the information provided and how they are handling it.

And speaking of which:

It does contain both, but the Height shouldn't be part of it. It's been asked for probably as long as power customization.

[/ QUOTE ]
What good would the boosters be if they didn't have stuff we really wanted? That's what makes them worth paying for. People have more than $15/month that they're willing to spend on City of Heroes, and I don't begrudge Paragon Studios trying to maximize their earnings. I could wish it were all available for one price, but I could wish the same of anything I pay money for. I wish it were all free. The good stuff always costs extra.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's a feature that should've been in the damn game from the first day the tailors went in. It's such a basic element of character customization that it was bad enough that it wasn't there before now. The fact that we're being charged extra for it now that it's -finally- being added is just plain ludicrous.

Standard Rant Code applies.

[/ QUOTE ]
Huh? Where is this about code? The fact that this is a computer game doesn't mean that absolutely every complaint can be shot down by the "Standard Code Rant".

[/ QUOTE ]

No where in any of the posts before you last one was about programming code. I think when he said "standard rant code applies he meant code as in the "a systematically arranged collection or compendium of laws, rules, or regulations." definition. If he was meaning the programming language definition he would have typed "standard code rant" like you mistyped it as in your reply. Or perhaps even "standard rant: code".

I'd say it's roughly as needed as a pair of fuzzy dice in a Ferrari.

[/ QUOTE ]

bad example, because as any real Ferrari owner will tell you, the dice ARE required, as they add an extra 100 horsepower.

[/ QUOTE ]

And Flame Decals add a extra 50 mph to the top speed.

[ QUOTE ]
having a height slider vs having availability to a different 'stock' is apples to oranges; it wouldn't undermine the booster any more than the current costume change system

[/ QUOTE ]

It would when both the body type change and height change slider are both part of the booster pack.

Dedlok (my first character) is mutation as well and I couldn't find that box either. It was in that huge stack of crates in that big room near the end. Had to have a GM help me find it.

Um, no, I paid with being here, the only currency that matters. So, no, no one should be able to buy what has otherwise already been earned. I've paid plenty over the years to have gotten my rewards.

Some schmuck coming in with too much money and not enough patience to sit through a game for 5 years? Doesn't deserve my rewards, thanks.

[/ QUOTE ]

This.

When the company is able to reverse my aging process and return the five years of time I invested in this game, that will be the day I'll agree to letting Vet rewards be purchased in advance.

[/ QUOTE ]

Tho in my case change "5 years" to "almost 4 and a half"

I remember there was one time I ran that map w/ a cauldron on it, it was placed near a tree. At first I couldn't attack it at all, but when I came back later it suddenly became attackable.

Anniversary doesn't need to mean CoH Anniversary. It also applies to the Anniversary of burying Hero1's time Caspule, which is a plot point of the new TF/SF.

Yeah I remember that. It happened twice. Both in nerva. Once by the trainers (had to get someone to teleport me out) and the other by the mutant and magic store. Tho this one happened back when that hot dog stand door was bugged to be like the nearby Black Helicopter's, so when you clicked on it you got the window w/ the option to travel to st. marts.

I used to love the fact that bug existed. I was disappointed when it was fixed.

In the "In-Game Events" part of the post it says

" From 11am EST on April 28th to 12am EST "

but at the bottom of the announcement it says the 5-year badge will be available

"Beginning at 11am EST on Wednesday, April 29th and continuing until 11:59pm EST on Sunday, May 31st",

so I'm guessing they meant to put the May 31st date in the earlier part of the announcement?

[/ QUOTE ]

No because "We're not going to ruin the surprise...but suffice it to say that all CHAOS is going to break loose in-game on our anniversary date" pretty much implies the "in-game event" part is a 1 day thing. I would think that if they were intended int to run till the end of may they would have said "in our anniversary month"

lol since they messed up EST and EDT is it too much of a stretch to think that they mean it ends at 12 NOON rather than 12 MIDNIGHT, lol?

What is this Orange thing everyone is going on about? I see nothing in the announcment that has the word orange in it. There's orange text in the forum post but that's about it...

So is positron's In-Game ADress being delivered on a specfic server or via an Admin (or admin like channel)?
