Quote:Never said it wasn't a veteran thing. I have that same power but the inspirations it generates aren't as valuable as the two from the old tutorial.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
That's kind of a veteran thing, though, and speaking as a veteran, I have that power which generates three medium or often even large inspirations every 30 minutes.
I'll even concede that it may very well be a matter of perception but to me it feels like I was better off before. -

Seirously this was driving me nuts.

Quote:Uhm you don't understand the concept of collecting things do you.Originally Posted by Doctor_Gemini
The CE was not put out with any promise or inference of an increase in value. In fact, only those who did not use the game codes can even see an increase in value.
1. Collecting anything there is always a risk that it will never increase in value.
2. Unopened and unused (Factory Sealed) is always the definition of Mint Condition and thereby the most valuable.
The only time opened is acceptable is with items like cards that are randomly packaged and need to be opened in order to find out the contents.
Collectors will buy 2 or more copies of items they are collecting. 1 for their personal use, and the other(s) to add to their collection. -
Quote:Because the devs want their to be consequences for switching sides. Full heroes and Villains get higher rewards but are restricted to a single faction while Rogues and Vigilantes have the freedom to access both factions at the price of lower rewards.Originally Posted by rsclark
I have several of those. I still don't understand why I should get lower rewards for playing them.
You don't have to like it tho. -
Quote:True, but I do prefer using the tutorial inspirations (singular now) as my start up capital on my characters over using other characters as ATM's.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Or here's another even more alien suggestion to me - don't play that waste of space and skip the tutorial altogether. It doesn't teach anyone anything, it's not fun, it's not exciting and it's not well done. I'd rather beat up random Skulls and Hellions in the streets than get through that hectic mess a second time.
I didn't like the "alien invasion" tutorial in Champions Online and I don't like it any more in City of Heroes. -

short stories?

you can't die, but you still take damage

Quote:No 2 years. Just long enough to give people that bought lifetime subs the illusion that they would have spent the same amount if they had paid monthly subs instead.Originally Posted by Mr. DJ
I guess I should give that game a bit more credit...thought it was one year it went f2p...
Edit: The same thing is happening with their Space MMO. -
Quote:Uhm . . . What damage? You can't die in the tutorial.Originally Posted by Mr. DJ
So learning to get out of the way of incoming damage serves no purpose?

Quote:There's a reason that game went F2P two years after it was released and it isn't because it was successful. So sorry to disappoint you but it was never a threat to this game.Originally Posted by NewScrapper
And you seriously think it was the *tutorial* that was preventing new players from catching on? I mean, you could be right, maybe they ran focus groups and asked whether or not the tutorial was interesting. But my first guess would have been the fact that there's a F2P competitor sitting right across the virtual street -- I'd be over there myself if my sub didn't go into 2012 because free is way cheaper than $11/month.

Kids today aren't all that bright. . . . If the tutorial feels dumbed down, they did it for a reason.
So you think the devs feel what's best for the game is attracting stupid customers?

My Time Lord is Professor Haruspex.
His powers are based on The Masters mental abilities rather than the new time powers, but I am considering a new Time Lord alt.
I'm trying hard to resist the urge to make a parody based on Doctor Who and Vinny Barbarino, but I fear I won't be successful. -
Isn't /Notes already in the game?

Personally, I too liked the way the rewards were claimed before.

Quote:That's what I figured was the motivation behind the decision not to re-release it.Originally Posted by MaestroMavius
This seems like the most obvious answer.
It's a collector's edition. Releasing the things that make it unique would result in it no longer being a collector's item, resulting in all those that bought it as such being very very upset. Doesn't matter if it is 'actually' collectible, all that matters is that it was advertised as such.
The rarity seen at Amazon would vanish overnight. Even though Paragon gets no money from those transactions, they can't take any actions to undermine the sellers as they bought the CE in good faith that it would increase in value as a result. It might not, that's a risk the buyer takes, but the company that sells the item can't take action to undermine it's value after the sale. Even when it hurts the bottomline. -
Quote:Didn't know that, but it does blow a big hole in that other theory.Originally Posted by Shadowe
Also an unlikely problem in the first place, since the EU DVD edition of CoH came with Power Slide and the cape, but no Hero Clix.

Quote:Unless you are an employee of WizKids how would you know the mold was destroyed. It costs them nothing to store the mold after it was made in case NCSoft ever wants more made.Originally Posted by Fennec
I think it might have to do with the Heroclix that originally came with the collector's editions. If they have a legal contract with WizKids that says that the CEs cannot be sold without the clix, that creates a big problem as they no longer have the molds to make more.

Quote:I like the revamp, I just wish they left the old contacts/missions and simply added the new ones. They could have just required that new players go thru the new contacts on their first character, then let players have a choice of going thru the new contact or the origin contacts on their other characters.Originally Posted by Boomie
On a side note, does anyone else besides me not like the atlas park revamp?
-
My gripe with the tutorial is that I used to be able to start with 2 enhancements and a decent size red and green insp I could sell at the market to start outfitting my alts. Now it seems I can only get a single green insp.
Now as to the new missions in AP. I am already bored to frickin tears of seeing the exact same contacts/missions on every single character. Always having to go thru Kalinda or Burke what killed any interest I had for playing villains, and now AP is doing the same thing. I want my old contacts and missions back where I at least had the illusion of variety. -
So you're saying the problem isn't with the game it's with something else the OP has installed on his Mac that interacts with the game. Something that was developed by Apple, the makers of Mac's.

Quote:Sounds like it might be just the AP AE.Originally Posted by MrMichaels
I believe its listed in the known issues (Atlas AE only?)

Quote:Nope. I had Sprint and Ninja Run on. My tank and scrapper had Fiery Aura and that first Shadow thingy toggle power on as well. My MM's were able to summon their pets, my Emp was able to activate Healing Aura. All my powers were working.Originally Posted by Obscure Blade
I saw this thread and just checked; Power Suppression worked just fine for me, at least in the Port Oakes AE no-powers room.
By any chance did you zip into the Power Suppression area on a Rocket Board? Like Walk, Rocket Boards do work in Power Suppression areas. -
Great episode. Just finished it.
