  1. Yeah, I'd love to see a low-impact version of Thermal and Ice shields too. We have the "snowstorm" effect, and snowflake auras. We have a spark aura and a firefly aura. With a little tweaking, the most intrusive of the shields in those two sets can have an option to a more low-impact "aura" effect so they don't destroy other people's costumes.

    Are you a tank who hates when a teammate hits you with SB while you are trying to do your job? Would you like to automatically accept the Mysic Fortunes that others send your way? Null the Gull can fix those things. Whoever came up with this has a huge tip of the the hat and a basket of gratitude from all my toons!

    Tough's Chest Pound on Activation - SILLY. I don't want it, I want something else.

    Hasten Pompom hands - I don't want it that colour/that effect/visible.

    So on and so forth. These are FX issues that detract from my character. They should be a focus. Everyone can use them.
    You have hit so many of my nails on the head. Are you me?

    My fire controller's blue fire turning orange with his APP

    The Tough chestpound on my wee tiny girl defender characters

    The Hasten pompoms obscuring my costumes and looking dumb while being too good not to take

    And let me add the HORRIBLE PINK SCRIBBLES on the APP Psionic Mastery armor. Seriously? Whose idea was that??

    I wouldn't say that it's more of a must-buy than Ninja Run. Ninja run let you basically not take a travel power (my friend has four characters with no travel power at all because swift/hurdle/NR is fast enough; I have two) but you don't HAVE to have it.

    I haven't bought the Hover Board, and probably won't. If it gets cheaper (right now it's outrageous) on a sale, I might pick it up for fun, but it won't replace travel powers for me any more than NR did. I pick travel powers because I like them, they're one of my favorite things about the game.

    Err, 90% of what I play is controllers/defenders/corruptors. They all have LOTS of toggles. Most of them are at or near the defense softcap. And two of them have TP. I don't understand that link at all.
  6. I agree with you. Pool power customization - including the APP/Patron powers - should be on the TOP of the list, in my opinion.

    Unfortunately, Paragon has a habit of letting something "into the wild" and then abandoning it. Simple bug fixes (like the female heads on the Beast pack - yes, I will keep complaining about that, because I paid for that booster and I only play females for the most part) are considered too much time to spend. Actually continuing to develop and improve (lookin' at you bases, Alignment system!) seems way beyond the scope.

    And that is super sad.

    The idea that the way we're going to get Pool Customization is to have to buy new aspects of the power is just sad frosting on this sad cupcake.
  7. Actually, I did seem to be getting drops faster last night, but I just figured I was lucky

    Yup, I bought it. No issues except that I hate the leather panties.
  11. I put down $50 so I could get all my costume slots (rawr!!) and after getting those, the aura/cape unlocks, the barbarian pack, backpack and Beam Rifle, I've still got about 1k points left, and nothing else I really want to buy.


    ... which is a shame, because I've hit T9 and need 3 tokens to get those celestial pieces. I'm very doubtful I'll be able to wait 3 months for those

    It is CHEAP! It's UNBELIEVABLY cheap, especially given the cost of the other global unlock items. 160 points to NEVER do those chains again on ANY character?

    HELL. YES.

    Wait, what? I thought I was paying for an aura unlock on ONE character. Are you saying that's global and I never have to run that mission again EVER?

    If so, I'm buying the cape unlock RIGHT NOW.

    That female belt is quickly becoming one of my most-used pieces. I loved the Steampunk belt but hated that clock on it - I'm going through and replacing all my uses of the clock-belt with the new ring belt.

    Those leather panties tick me off though. Why couldn't we have a proper loincloth? :-/

    Clockwork 01 calls this "less than ideal". I call it a non-functioning online store. You decide.

    I don't trust that. In order to have a functioning market, your customers have to trust you. Therefore the market isn't functioning as far as I'm concerned.
    That's odd. I tried to buy 3 aura-unlocks and I got that exact error.

    They probably shouldn't give you a selectable quantity up to 10 if you're only allowed one :P
  16. Am I wrong, or was stuff we've already bought supposed to be hidden?

    It's very annoying that it's not, either way.

    I assure you, a human person (not me, but I know him!) got that name and it's his character from another server.

    I got all but one of the names I wanted - and most importantly locked down my global, heh.

    Just wanted to check here if anyone has the answer before I find myself in "checkout", spending points instead of dollars.
    Spend the dollars on the points. There's a price break for some point bundles.

    Then spend the points you just bought on the xfers.
  20. Avatea,

    Can we get some acknowledgement that whole costume parts have gone missing?

    Thus far, the Wisp aura and the facial Tattoos (1 and 2) are gone from my costumes that had them. I'm sure I'll find more.
  21. Oh thank god.

    This was driving me CRAZY!

    Just... too high, noone will buy those... noone with any sense anyway.
    I agree with you on all of the above... but I had to get the costume slots. *sighs*
  23. The five costume slots (yes, they're WAY too expensive, but I gotta have them!) the new backpack and the barbarian bundle (because it's so much cheaper to get the bundle than buy the pieces individually... meh.) I'm contemplating aura unlocks.

    I wanted to buy inventory upgrades, but not at those prices!

    Yeah, there's that too. On low-level defenders back then, my job was pretty much to ride along with the SG teams and buff them, when I wasn't pathetically plinking away at street sweeping. If enhs went red back then, it's not like you left the team to go fix that, you just kept riding.
