Quote:My major problem with it is that they should just be clearer about it. If they are going to call it the complete collection, then I think it should contain everything on offer.Originally Posted by Zyphoid
See, I just don't get this. They have to make money to keep the game running. I have no problem with that. Which is part of the reason I am not so worried about the free month. As long as I get all the stuff, I really don't care about the manner in which I get it. I will still get the costume bits, and the stances (what ever they are, sounds exciting) witht he purchase of an upgrade.
I am not sure how it is bad to attempt to make money while running a for-profit business.
Why could they not just post the price they want people to pay if they want everything? -

I am not concerned at all about the game time.

Also, Symbols on backs!

This does sound needlessly confusing, to be honest. Why can't we just pre-order the complete collection? The 'upgrading' thing seems kind of pointless, especially since people won't be getting the months time with it, essentially making it cost more if you want to both pre-order and also want the complete collection.

Because then it would undercut the entire point of GR. Why would anyone actually bother to do the story arcs to turn a character over to the other side (or develop a neutral character to the side of their choice), if they could just roll up a new heroic Brute right from the get-go?
-
I think something like this would be pretty popular
-
Maybe there could just be a counter? so if you get a costume on say 5 different characters, you get it globally unlocked for all new characters?
That way it is still an incentive to get people to repeat the content more than once, whilst recognising that it does get a little old after a while. -
Really, what the CoV side needs are some goodguys to fight. Villains shouldn't be fighting Villains 90% of the time. If it doesn't change, then its going to get exposed more with GR as a hero who used to spend his time heroically defeating CoT, Freaks, Family etc... in Paragon slowly becomes corrupted and eventually, after an epic personal journey, finally falls to the red side, and goes on to villainously defeat CoT, Freaks, Family etc... in the Rogue isles.

Isn't i17 called "Dark Mirror" since it introduces an arch-nemesis/doppleganger feature where you have a Praetorian Earth alternate self who wants to beat you down?
The new content may well be linked to Praetoria, though. -
One thing I think they said would be in there would be the ability to switch characters without logging out to the login screen.

Quote:Something of that style, but like a modified version of the hard suits the PPD have. maybe with one hand replaced by a tommy gun. and a wearing a steel fedora.Originally Posted by Castle

Oh, another idea for high level Family: Pinstripe Powersuits!
-
1) What sort of content will there be for Heroes who go rogue that doesn't involve still beating up Villains (and the odd longbow)
2) Will there be a satisfyingly significant amount of cool new costume peices (available at character creation, not unlockable)?
3) Is I17 going to be released in conjunction with GR and if so, what is planned to be in it?
4) Will there be some cool new auras (and the ability to set the current auras to be comabt auras)?
5) Whats the most secret extra cool addition in GR?
Also, when can i give paragon my money for GR? Is now too soon?

I've always wanted to expand upon the Legacy Chain. They are underused and interesting.
Also, Tommy guns do rule! -
The obvious ones to expand upon are the legacy chain and Wyvern, since they are pretty much the only non-Longbow/PPD heroic enemies in the game. Villains shouldn't always be fighting other villains, after all.
Thats one of my fears for GR, that they will add a bunch of new villains to fight and forget about adding new goodguys (besdies the resistance, I guess) -
Q: How many devoured earth does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: None. The lightbulb is a perfect example of the destructive wastefulness of humanity, squandering nature's resources in an incredibly inefficient manner. The light bulb shall be crushed and the stain of humankind wiped from the Earth. All hail The Hamidon. -
A bit of an over reaction, but yes, its slightly annoying. They should either remove the redirection totally (ideally) or at least fix the flags so they work (and remember your preference)
To get round it, just avoid the actual homepage
go to somewhere like http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/news_archive/ and use the menu links to get to where you want to (including the right server status page) -

If that section does refer to Rularuu, then this is kind of promising. Will we finally get to confront him?

Yeah, they are all seem fairly obvious
The last part of this one puzzled me:
Quote:Til i remembered what we know of the praetorian Hami.Bloated life which has not a peer, gobbles all that mankind holds dear, The hive will grow to rise and fall, all will battle the monster tall, Across the way a mirror flow'r, has no such foes slow its devour, Not placated with scraps to eat, it's rage shall spark leader's retreat. -
Quote:I live in the uk, and am employed as a computer science lecturer and self-employed as a web developer, so it looks like I actually can write off a certain % of the price of a computer as a work expense. (still looking into the exact details of how much). I could also try buying it through the University I work for, but although they supposedly get a good discount, you have to buy from their approved suppliers (who generally overcharge for not very good components).Originally Posted by Human_Being
Wait, I just reread that... Okay, I expect you meant tax refunds, not that you were able to write off a gaming PC as a tax deduction
But at the minute still looking around to find the best deal and best way to buy things (pre-built Vs. ordering seperate compontents) -
Just out of interest, any opinions on the Geforce 295? I'm looking to build a new hi-spec system (yay tax deductions!) and have seen that going as part of certain deals.

One thing I noticed, if you have both Ninja Run on and then toggle power slide on too, you stay in the ninja run pose for a little while(with the slide colour effect) then switch to the slide animation (but still get the summersaults when you jump, which looks awesome)
Oh, and I really, really, really hope that we will get the summersaults and or ninja run animation as options for superspeed/super jump when we eventually get power pool customisation. -
Oh and not sure if it was mentioned, but also:
- Being able to switch characters without having to log out fully.
Was mentioned as being in the works.
