He's just mad he's losing the argument in his CoH2 suggestion so he came here to vent.

You'll recall that they never said anything about not laughing in your face while they listened.

Why assume that CoH2 would be based in Paragon City and the Rogue Islands?

I know I'd much prefer a fresh start in a brand new imaginary city. Hell with a new game they could even make it an international world setting with each zone in a different part of the world, space, moon, underwater, dimensions. Be a hero/villain and fight brand new opponents in the Arctic, Europe, Asia, Altantis, South American Jungles, deserts of North Africa, etc, etc, etc.

Yep. If the company was willing to compromise their principles to make a quick buck they wouldn't be refusing to add any of a dozen of features players have been begging for for years, like Power Set respecs, re-releasing Power Slide, customizable vehicles, auto leveling, selling influence, etc, etc, etc.

Because the devs, Positron specifically, have said, NO. They have even gone so far as to flat out tell us in a Ustream 3 months ago that if they ever decided to add a feature that allowed us to email offline SG invites they would deliberately design it so we would not be able to send invites to characters on the same account.

As much as we want this to be added to the game, the devs are adamant in their refusal.

You are right that we have gotten a lot of sets that aren't toggle heavy recently but that could change at any time and we may get a run of toggle heavy sets.

My intention of listing the sets was more to illustrate how the work could become overwhelming.

And that's only if my guess is right that suppression would have to be coded separately for each (power in a) set.

I openly admit my theory is based only on an interpretation of what Clockwork said. I have no hard evidence to back up my speculation.


If what I'm guessing at is wrong then by all means use suppression instead of detoggling.

Were you aware that chocolate covered bacon strips are sold as well? I've had them with plain chocolate, covered in sprinkles, and crushed peanuts.

I'm guessing from Clockwork's response that the last sentence in his post applies to the detoggling issue. By that I mean that each and every toggle has to be coded separately and as new non combat travel powers and new power sets get added it takes longer and longer to get everything coded.

For example let's say it takes a week to code Rocket Board for toggles on one new power set. Add Magic carpet and now it's two weeks. Add Coyote and it's three weeks. Now add another power set and it doubles to 6 weeks. A third power set increases it to 9 weeks.

Next question is how often do we get new power sets. Well since Freedom launched we've gotten/will be getting

Beam Rifle
Titan Weapons
Street Justice
Time Manipulation
Beast Mastery
Darkness Control
Staff Fighting
Darkness Affinity

So again I'm guessing by making the non combat powers as they currently are the devs have removed a ton of extra work from the equation and that is allowing them to bring us new power sets and new non combat travel powers a hell of a lot faster than they otherwise could.

Well that also falls under the whole not caring about what you skip. You just don't take it to the extremes that some people do. You set yourself a reasonable goal that gets you the boost you want, and then you do the stuff your interested in.

I do exactly the same thing you do because I can't stand doing the same starting missions in AP. The DfB is much faster and I'm off to KR in 10 to 15 minutes.

No offense Noble but while I am excited about being able to vote, and I appreciate you guys asking for our input in this fashion, I can't help but remember a similar poll that we were asked to participate in about what zone we would like you guys to work on next and now several years have passed and

We are still waiting for our MOON ZONE!!!


If you guys never had any intention of working on what we told you we wanted why even bother including it as a choice?


Anyway I'm hoping this poll doesn't leave me disappointed with the staff like that poll did.

Good luck. I'm staying out of the line of fire this time and just watching what happens.

They do the same thing they do when they want to sell other real life items. They make a business agreement with another company to make and package them. The donuts could even be individually wrapped.

Or did you think that NCSoft made their own Heroclicks and other RL items.

As I already said simply figure S&H into the purchase price, like many companies do, or they can give free S&H for purchases over a certain dollar amount.

And yet when I buy donuts and other baked goods online from places like Amazon, Walmart, Drakes, Tasty cake, etc, I have no problems with freshness.

I can even choose the speed in which the purchases gets delivered.

What's your point? This wouldn't be the first time this company has sold things only in the US. Just ask any EU or AUS players. They already know the devs hate them.

You're just jealous that my idea is better than yours.

Oh look another swinging travel power suggestion.



<gets popcorn and sits back to watch the upcoming argument>

So I forgot to include the word "live" in the first paragraph of my post. Accidents happen TeeJay. I never claimed to be perfect. I know what I was trying to say.

The funny thing about this is that if you had bothered to read the last sentence you might have seen that I said

Seeing that incongruity some people might ask for clarification as to what was being said or give the person the benefit of doubt. But if you want to assume the worst that's fine by me.

Yeah, things only get locked when you downgrade an account.

I know that, and from the tone of the OP's posts it sounded to me like he was using the Live Chat Support on the support website.

Being a premium account he has to wait in queue behind any problems VIP's are having because paying customers take precedence. CS Reps aren't going to sit around twiddling their thumbs while they wait for a response on something they escalated. They put the open ticket on hold while waiting on an answer and work on something else.

Oh is that all we're doing? Okay that's easy to do. If the company wants to make ore money they can sell something everyone wants.



Glazed Bacon Donuts.

Package'em in a CoH themed box (like the donut shop in Faultline) and sell them by the dozen on the Paragon Market for 800 points S&H included in the price.


They'd make a hell of a lot more money off of this than any other idea suggested so far in this thread.

Well technically the only costume piece being sold in the pack is the new Cupid's Bow.

The rest of the items are part of a global unlock that allows the purchaser global account access to pre-existing costume pieces that are normally restricted to individual characters that have met the necesarry requirements that unlock the costume pieces.

a. The character is level 35+
b. The character has completed the ITF
c. The character has earned the Centurion Badge


This is just like the Cape and Aura unlocks where the unlock only grants level 1 access to certain capes and auras. While other capes and auras either have to be bought separately or earned/unlocked separately in the game.

You are aware that Customer Service isn't available to Free and Premium accounts. The CS Rep may have initially thought you were still a VIP or you weren't clear that your sub had lapsed, and once he or she found out your actual account status (Maybe their supervisor told them to close the ticket) they correctly followed company procedure and closed the ticket because only VIP's get access to Customer Service

Live Customer Support is a service provided only to Subscribers i.e. VIP's.

Ya know, seeing it quoted I just realized I forgot to put in the periods I wanted for emphasize. I meant the very last to read:

as long as he wants . . . as. long. as. he. wants.

Been done already. Right after Rocket Board was released the devs started a thread and asked us what we wanted to see next, and gave us the freedom to suggest anything.

The only problem with a poll is that it doesn't what the players want next but what the players want out of the options they give them.

No they aren't. Bases of any size can crash when thy exceed the item limit. Contributing factors are the number of animated base items used like torches, bookcases, desks, etc.
