Yes they do. They have what they call "favor" based races and classes that are unlocked by either earning enough "favor" (farming favor points) or by purchasing them thru the store.
So what happens is the few patient players earn favor to unlock those races/classes while the much larger "gotta have it now" crowd pays cash for them. -

Quote:I understand what your saying, but I think the free transfers were so overwhelmingly popular that it seemed the obvious choice for the devs to please a majority of the VIP's.I really wish I could use those PP somewhere instead of a server transfer. I've used 3 my entire time here at CoH, and that was during the free transfer weekend and just to move 3 shelved 50s to another server (which I probably could have deleted just as easily since I haven't touched them in forever).

Quote:You are forgetting that when the game goes F2P he will be getting a $5 dollar credit in the store and a $10 dollar free server transfer each month which cancels out the cost of his subscription fee.Ok, so you're saying -- and correct me if I've misread -- that your $15/mo, hereafter referred to as "Subscription", used to get you A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H (hereafter referred to as "Features"). Now that F2P has come along and grants A, C, E, and G for free to anyone who happens to come along, that your subcscription is effectively only covering B, D, F and H and has therefore depreciated.... the monthly subscription, in your eyes, is not as valuable because you're ultimately paying for fewer features?

Quote:If this is the attitude you have in game then I'm not surprised to hear that you have trouble finding teams. You've probably been 1 starred and /gignored by many people.ok...Ok...OK!
You each love your little shires of solitude...i friggin' get it. Cripes...not wonder it's hard to find descent team players.

So please stop whinging on about the technical challenges or the virtues of you "cold dead fingers". I'll continue to make friends, help noobs, and foster a community...you have fun sitting in the corner. -
Quote:Best analogy ever.Yeah, but there aren't "Australian" servers. It's more like one big global Nike store that has to pick some time to be closed to take care of some basic stuff like inventory.
Actually, no, it's more like a large red wagon, running through a flower bed. Except the flowers are like three feet tall, and the wagon has spikes coming up through its bottom. And there's a rabbit inside, a rabbit that would love to eat some of those flowers, but instead, she has to dodge the spikes to keep from getting hurt. Oh, and it looks cloudy, like it's going to rain. There's a caonpy over the wagon that, under normal circumstances, would protect the rabbit from the rain, but with all of the flowers the wagon is plowing through, it's getting tattered.
Yeah, maybe I'm not so good at analogies. Still, it's not like daily maintenance is the norm. There's obviously a lot of stuff going on that is unfortunately affecting a lot of people's ability to play when they want. Give it a little time, and I'm sure things will return to normal. Better than normal, in fact, because a bunch of problems will be fixed. -

Doesn't matter what you want, there are technical reasons why this won't happen. Maybe in CoH2.

Quote:No it doesn't look reasonable. That's the point. Thirty Seven is saying we need less of that silly looking crap.and yet robots being dropped from above in a cave is completly resonable, why not cool down on the dislike and look at both sides when you say something
Edit: Oh and for reasons stated above, /unsigned -
Quote:Good catch. I was wrong. Paris' holo-robot had a different chest piece and is missing the head cables.Give me a second to adjust me Nerd Hat, here...
Ahh, there we go. Captain Proton's actually an honoring of the old black and white Flash Gordon from back in the day (Picked a DVD with them on it for around $2 at a miscellaneous store recently). Here's a picture of the robot a search pulled up:
Going to dig out the DVD now. -
That's because Green Lantern isn't a name, it's a title. The Green Lantern Corps is the name of a fictional intergalactic military/police force whose members are known commonly as Green Lanterns.

Instead of baiting them with a snarky remark stating farming is boring, just say "No thanks." When you taunt them you have no one to blame but yourself if they decide to defend their playstyle.

I respectfully disagree on that. I think those servers can be great for soloing. Just set your flag to red "Not accepting invites" and play. If the occasional tell bothers you then just delete tells from your chatbox. If you like chatting with friend online while you solo you can still keep in touch via global channels.

Quote:No, they are quite simple to use and manage.I know you can open up more trays. However, They can be difficult to manage and find what you're looking for in them.
Quote:They are NOT the same size as the existing tray,
Quote:so it looks bad, and can be distracting if you are trying to get things arrainged nicely.
Quote:They also interfere with the Inspirations.
Quote:I think it's time for a makeover. They are doing so much with the graphics, and content, why can't they work on a QOL object?
Quote:What I am looking for is 12 instead of 10 buttons in the row. That way, I can use the keyboard to quickly activate the ones I want. Being able to open a 4th row might be nice, but not the same as adding more buttons in a row.
Quote:I don't know what the minus and equal keys are short-cuts to. Thus they are unimportant to me.
1. Don't use those two keys and
2. Are too lazy to look under Options to find out what they are used for
Everyone else that does use the keys for their intended purpose should get screwed. I have a better idea. You can use a mouse to point and click.
Quote:And I have seen it posted that with all the other powers you can get (from mission rewards, invention system, veteran rewards, etc.), there just is no way you can get them to fit in all 10 trays that the game has.
Quote:If you add 2 slots to each row, then you are adding a total of 20 slots to all 10 trays. -
Quote:So then you are happy with the fact that you can do any number of other-alignment missions (as long as you do yours first) with no penalties and no special rewards associated? That seems to have been the issue you and Claws took with my suggestion that it would in some way change the system as it works today. It does not.
If you are ok with that, then there is nothing wrong with my suggestion of allowing someone to choose to do that in a different order. That's my suggestion for this QoL enhancement. Will it be considered, I don't know. It still doesn't have the negative effects you folks seem to think it has, and I continue to stand by it as a legitimate suggestion as there has yet to be any negative implications.
You can argue till you are blue in the face It's still working as intended.
