I think my transfers show up at the start of the month, my tokens somewhere in the middle, and my points at the end.

That would be awesome, thanks!Originally Posted by Golden Girl
It seems totally fine to me

Quote:It's the newer pieces. If you're an old school player, which your forum reg date seems to imply, then you might not notice. Tons of stuff is baked in these days. You buy a set, and then suddenly discover that you can't change half the colors.Originally Posted by Sermon
I just can't think of a lot of pieces which can't be tinted at all (or have large sections which can't be tinted). Perhaps my own failing.

They're right about it being nice for F2P people.
It's a complete pain in the *** for VIPs. -
Quote:It's just another symptom of the new priorities for City of Heroes. In the past, I bought every single costume pack without even looking at them. Now, I haven't bought the last, what, three? Four? You guys aren't even trying any more. But by all means, keep stooping to the lowest denominator while claiming the higher road. Frankly, I've seen the Gunslinger set. And even the guy parts suck.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
I'm not buying the Gunslinger and Prostitute Pack.
To Second Measure and Brian Clayton: Your art department is out of control.
- They don't check in with the patch note process (e.g., beneficial changes to the character creator never got advertised in the patch notes nor advertised as an Issue feature... so, Marketing should be pretty ticked off about that).
- When they interact with the players on the boards, they simply defend the way things are instead of bringing that feedback to the whole team. Complaints of sexism ain't new here. If anyone at Paragon Studios is surprised at this reaction, then there are some serious gaps with your player-communications. And there is just as much anger over the pre-tinting issue as with the sexism issue.
- Jay approaches costuming like a frat boy ("Bunny tails ain't for guys!"). David still thinks he's drawing for 14 year old boys and not for a more diverse audience. Don't know why the women on the art team aren't championing a change the sexism being denounced here. And Positron, who used to have a say over the art department, is still harping on female henches as harems, despite the fact that we already have female 'pets' (Fortunatas, Seers, and the harloty harlequins) and YOU GAVE US A PROSTITUTE COSTUME FOR PLAYERS.
Not happy with this. I hope everyone boycotts this set until there's a real female gunslinger costume added to it.
This is my complete and total lack of surprise or interest.Quote:Originally Posted by Golden Girl

More and more costume items are coming out with the colors baked in, unchangeable. The OP asked if the new helmets could be tinted different colors.
I'm not putting words in anyone's mouth, but my own. If the OP wasn't asking if they could change the color of the helmets, then I don't know what this thread is about. -

Yes sadly that has been his answer.
And yes sadly that couldn't continue to be more hypocritical of him if he tried. *shrugs* -

I know I'm going to draw some fire for this one but for me its...
Empathy.
Yup, I am the person who actually enjoys standing back and flinging buffs while the rest of the group 'has all the fun.'
Actually, depending on what you pair with it, Empathy can turn into you into a team's 'I WIN' button (All you Mind/ Emp Controllers out there, you know what I mean.)
That's me, where do the rest of you stand? -
Quote:Whether or not it makes any sense, or whether or not you like the reasoning, does not change the fact that this was Positron's answer.Originally Posted by Firemoth
(sarcasm) Yes, because the MM will be sending their minions to dance on street corners and walk away with a john, while the others go with other johns.
The same could be said right now with the male pets. If it's a female commanding them, does that make her a Madam? The argument works both ways, yet we still have male pets instead of all gender neutral pets.
I'm staying out of it. Prostitution was the reason he gave, and I am staying out of people's opinions of his answer.Quote:Originally Posted by Lothic
At best the idea that they are going to "avoid prostitution" by this decision is a convenient secondary Dev excuse. Trust me when I say the REAL excuse is that they just don't want to spend the time and effort on it. I've been a software engineer for almost 20 years so I can tell when a Dev is using something like "we don't want people to abuse female pets" as a smoke screen for -real- excuses.
Besides even if I'm wrong and we must take Positron at his word on this that the MAIN reason is the "avoiding prostitution" theory then I could only consider that to be absolutely hypocritical on his part in light of the player character costume items available to us.
So there are our choices: either Posi's being disingenuous or hypocritical - take your pick.

Given the way things have been, I'm betting not.

Quote:I don't suppose we could get some kind of schedule back, eh?Originally Posted by Ghost Falcon
Actually, it was extended because we recognized that there were many players who wouldn't get their stipend points until the 28th, 29th or 30th, so we decided to extend the sale until 11:59:59 PM Pacific on 12/1 to benefit those customers.
One that listed our billing date, server transfer token date, paragon reward token date, and paragon point award date, all in one place? -
Quote:Maybe among certain players.Originally Posted by Lothic
I think it's been well established (at least among players) that the "female MM pets could be considered sexist" argument has been dismissed as ridiculous.
I'm sorry I don't have my Positron quote with me, but it's true. It's to head off prostitution.
Also, I will throw my vote in with a huge discrepancy in costume parity as well. -
I'm totally lost, and I know that the folks at Account Management won't be of any use.

Quote:What the crap. I bet we're in the same boat. Is it possible to not be able to sign up for the bonus time at all?Originally Posted by Snow Globe
No, you misunderstand what I was saying... If I set this up before Dec 7, I get 12+2, then my account reverts to a 12 month plan. However if I wait until after the 7th, I'll get the current 12+2 plan 14 months from now. The 12+2 plan from last time still hasn't kicked in on my account, and you can only have one version of this at a time.
EDIT: According to account management, my current sub isn't up until April of next year. Am I not eligible for the 12+2 until March or something? -

Oh, NCSoft store, you continue to crack me up:
Of course, you need to know what recaptcha actually does to fully appreciate this, but I can imagine that this is the sort of thing that would cause many a shopper to scratch their heads.
