I will always prefer to pay money for them than to grind to unlock them.

    So when's that Rularuu Pack coming out?
    /this

    I also recall several threads where we told the devs how we'd be more than happy to pay for costume boosters because we weren't getting costumes fast enough by waiting for them to be included in the free issues.

    If they have limited charges and you have to buy them over and over they are still temporary.

Isn't a back emblem that would both conflict with and be hidden under a pair of wings the same thing?
    This would work the same way as helmets/hair does. If you have a helmet on you don't get to choose a hairstyle. So if you have a cape, backpack, or wings you don't get the option of choosing a back emblem.

    There are many examples in the costume creator where your options are limited by a previous costume selection.

    They wouldn't. Emblems on capes is a different issue. Capes have their own list of designs people want emblems added to.
  5. Why have the temp powers drop at all? I'd much rather they be pulled from the drop tables and sold at the market or an NPC for a fixed price like jetpacks.

    When that content is added the wiki will be updated to include that information.
  7. An Incarnate Shift is a feature of the Incarnate System that is roughly equivalent to increasing a character's Combat Level. A level 50 character with one Incarnate Shift, for instance, will effectively be fighting as though they were level 51.

    In addition to the character itself, any pets or even NPC allies will spawn with the Incarnate Shift as well.

    Unlike Level Shifts, Incarnate Shifts only activate while participating in an Incarnate Trial, such as the Behavioral Adjustment Facility Trial or the Lambda Sector Trial.

    Why Bill did you forget or miss this thread over the "controversial" Science Booster? I think Lisar and Zombie might remember it.

    what confuses me is now with booster pack 3. They are introducing cross dressing.

    But it is cross dressing. When ppl do drag they do there clothes and makeup to match.

    i dont think cross dressing is appropriate for a game that my children or any1s child might and do play

    I would say sry for actually having morals and values but i would be lying. But if you want you kids to cross dress whither in game or in RL thats not my call. I for one dont want it.


    its not just me but society has a whole shuns cross dressing. like it or not but im not the minority but the majority in society

    plz explain more on how standing up for what i believe and keeping morals and values intact has anything to do with common sense.

    Not seeing a problem. If I'm using a cape, wings, or backpack I'm not going to be using a Back Emblem, and the reverse is true. If I'm using a Back Emblem I'm not going to be covering it up with wings, backpack or cape.

    So give us back emblems.

    The CoP was their "test" for the new "raid" (incarnate) content that they were working on. Personally, I think they should have paid closer attention to the data on the CoP. It was run quite a bit in the beginning, but quickly fell off in popularity. IMO, that should have been a BIG CLUE.

    Nevertheless, it is obvious that the Devs have charted a course, and intend to stick to it. They are focused on incarnate content for the foreseeable future.

    As for me, I am refusing to participate in it. I'll just chill out here in my little dinghy, thanks.

    /This. I need the incarnate stuff as much as I need IO sets. I'm quite happy with what I get from the basic IO's.

  12. Kryptonite armor is useless as long as Supes keeps his distance and/or uses his head to wear something that protects him from the kryptonite radiation. Kryptonite is only effective if you can trick him into getting close enough to where it can be used on him and take him down immediately.

    Better idea would be frangible Kryptonite bullets that have a lead coating. (or has lead been retconned out of blocking kryptonite radiation?) Supes won't think twice about letting a "poor dumb schmuck" empty the clip of his sub machine gun at him point blank. Of course when that happens the kryptonite bullets will perforate him, the frangible rounds will shatter upon entering his body, and shrapnel will scatter in every direction making it impossible to save his life in time.
  13. Either the OP has taken this to PM's with the recommended rednames or he just doesn't care about posting this in Suggestions where the rednames will see it and it would get community support, cuz I don't see it posted down there yet.

    Oh well. Wasn't a bad idea. Shame to see it die lonely and forgotten.
  14. Only 1 out of 10 AE missions are borked? What's wrong with our devs? Surely they can bork more AE missions than that.

    And this is a problem of your own creation.

    YOU chose answers that YOU couldn't remember.

    YOU chose not to keep a record of them when everyone knows that the more complicated you make your answers the more important it is to keep a record of them.

    The fact that 6 years ago the answers weren't used like they are today doesn't mean it wasn't important to keep a record of them. It's not the company's fault when someone can't be bothered to take a minute out of their time to make a record of their security answers, passwords, and logins.

    Sorry if that sounds harsh.

    Funny, they've never charged me for any of the 20 Issues that have been added to the game since launch. They must think very highly of me since I got it all for free and you had to pay for them.

    We'll look into it.
    While your at it ask them if they could give us a Platypus head and an animated Beaver tail.

    Hey, the Beaver tail could even have an attack like Brawl and slap the crap out of anyone attacking from behind.

You do not need millions of players buying booster packs for this to be profitable. Hundreds of players buying booster packs can support thousands of F2P players that don't buy things ala carte. The critical parameter is the ratio of paying to non-paying players, not the actual numbers. If they could get just tens of thousands of players signing up and buying things, even spending less than average subscribers, that would probably be a net positive gain in revenue. More is better, but this model doesn't require millions of players to turn a profit. Tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of players are plenty.
    You are absolutely right, but what this game would need are microtransactions that players are willing to spend money on over and over.

    The MT's we currently have won't support the game because they either aren't things we'd need on a regular basis, or they are account wide purchases that never need to be bought again on that account.

    Argentina/Mayan that way we can get tie-ins to both Atlantis and Moon zones. The facist 5th column can have a strong influence there seeking out clues to the location of Atlantis while having a secret base that serves as the connection to their Lunar base on the Moon.

    The strength of this games ability to stay profitable is it's retention of long term veteran customers and lifetime subs would generate an initial spike in profit and then the profits would crash because the income generated by those subscriptions would be forever gone.

    Free to play is great for us but unless they get millions of players all buying booster packs each month or some sort of micro transaction they won't turn much of a profit and development on the game is eventually reduced and the game is shut down.
    Exactly.

    Now the other poster may also have been poking fun with the statement comparing hard labour to staying fit, but I couldn't resist a little teasing myself.

    I'd much rather see the devs put their resources into developing cross server teaming then transfers and renames won't be needed.
