Quote:Riiiight. We should just say nothing and let him spread misinformation so people that don't know any better can get the wrong ideas about this game and how things work.Originally Posted by Blue_Centurion
I'm not surprised he can use a computer. I am kind of shocked (you guys must be so freaking bored) that he can get you to argue with him for 25 pages. Dude needs to play a Tanker, he got Taunt in his bones. lolololololololol
Then they go and spread that same misinformation further because it must be true since no one contradicted it. -
As much as I'd like to see badges made global so no one can lose the ones they can't get anymore it's not likely to happen.
Quote:Dev comment: Technical issue (8/15/2012)
To do so would require the use of an "auth bit" for each badge, and apparently they've got perhaps two left, so it would require a lot of recoding.

Shouldn't cost more than an normal respec token honestly.
"Positron, could you again clarify that "power-set" and "archtype" respecs are not a possibility for the future of the game?"
Posi: "They are not on the schedule. They are a lot, A LOT of work. Some people in the office were asking about them. AT respecs seem impossible, and powerset respecs are easier, but still very very hard. I don't know what we'd have to price them at to make them worth the effort. " -

Kinda makes me wish there was a way to ignore certain forumites posts like you can ignore certain people ingame.
1. Left click on the forum members name.
2. Select View Public Profile.
3. Click on User Lists
4. Select Add to Ignore List.
5. Click Yes to confirm you want to add that person to your ignore list. -

Quote:I can't decide which argument is more ridiculous. That one or the one that goes, "I'd spend more money on the game if you gave me the stuff I want for free." As if they think the devs are stupid enough to believe that if these clowns are getting everything they want for free they'll turn around and spend money on stuff they don't want.Originally Posted by Aett_Thorn
I love people that say that there's nothing that they want to buy, but that they should be cheaper. "Your store sells nothing but crap! I wouldn't buy anything here! However, you should sell me the stuff for 50% off, because I still won't buy it at those prices!"

Quote:Meh the OP kept trying to use Bats as justification for changing Devices. I can't imagine why the OP thinks Bats would be anything other than one of the melee AT's in this game, but his logic has holes in it you could sail an aircraft carrier thu sideways.Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
I still don't see how Batman is even relevant in a thread about Devices as it exists in CoH.
Batman is not a Blaster, by any stretch of the definition.
When I think "Devices Blaster" The Punisher and Nick Fury come to mind long before Batman does.
Personally if I were to make a Bats themed character in this game he'd be a Scrapper or Stalker and the "devices" would come from the Weapon Mastery ancillary pool. -
Quote:It's a shame the forums doesn't come with an auto lock feature that could be set to lock all threads that don't have any activity after 30 days.Originally Posted by Roderick
The reason people get annoyed by it (and the reason it's against the rules) is because people don't look at the post dates, or skip to the new posts, they just click on the thread and start reading at post #1.
Then they start flipping out about the upcoming Diminishing Returns being added to the game, or some other horrible change... that's already been in effect for 4+ years. Then there's a bunch of upset people and possibly even lost customers, all because someone pulled up a 6 year old thread about ED to ask how it affects set IOs, and someone reads just enough to think that PVP Diminishing Returns are being applied to PVE content. And yes, that really happened. -
Quote:Get over it.Originally Posted by Cathulhu
You seem to love to use Strawman arguments.
My quoting your post about him using guns was tongue in cheek. Hence the silly emoticon at the bottom of my post, but you had to go all anal and throw a hissy fit and claim he never used them against humans.
As I said to Xeno, the writers have Bats using pistols, rifles, machine guns, grenades, rockets whenever they feel like it. When he isn't carrying it personally his various vehicles are armed to the teeth.
It's not real. It's a comic book. Deal with it. Your acting like someone kicked your puppy. -
Would be funny if the started appearing as mission doors.

Quote:Does that mean we can't use the tar and feathers on them?Originally Posted by Arcanaville
The people who are still saying, over a year after City of Heroes launched its hybrid model, that they deserve everything they want for just their subscription cost probably shouldn't be smacked in the face, but they should at least be shaken vigorously.
Can we still have the witch we hired turn them into newts? -
Quote:You can see anything happening if you imagine it. For example I can see the devs one day adding a giant taco monster that craps ice cream.Originally Posted by Angelxman81
This thread again?
Well, I can see something similar happening in the future.
This and maybe even origins tokens.
Another way to get money from players: instead of rerolling, which can be tedious after a while, people can change existing characters over and over, buying those powerset tokens, origin tokens, rename tokens...
They would make some money for sure. Even if this idea go against the alt friendly nature of this game...
But just because I can see it happening one day, doesn't mean it's ever going to actually happen.
So yes these threads will keep appearing. -
Quote:Oh you want pics of him using guns against another human. Why didn't you say so.Originally Posted by Cathulhu
None of those shots show him using a gun against another human
Nope You are right. I couldn't find one instance where Batman ever used a gun against another human being. -
Quote:Why yes, all the examples made were since the 1940s, To be accurate May 1939. That's because it's impossible to show examples of him using guns before he was ever published in a comic book.Originally Posted by Xenophage
3 examples since the 1940s,
The truth is that Batman uses guns whenever the writer feels it's necessary to the story he is telling. Deal with it. -
The kiddies are getting their yayas in before having to go back to school.

Quote:Yep Bats hates guns.Originally Posted by Cathulhu
Most versions of Batman have him refuse to use guns against humans. I guess it has something to do with some silly little child hood induced trauma involving guns.

Quote:Then you should have a nice chunk of points saved up from your monthly stipend to get whatever you finally want for free so stop throwing a hissy fit over the prices.Originally Posted by mercykilling
There's nothing I -want- right now. Hasn't been for months.
VIP's can get anything they want in the store for free if they simply wait and save their points. -
Quote:I'd say he has an unhealthy fascination with Batman as well. As if he's the only super hero that uses devices/traps/gimmicks.Originally Posted by Kazz
Funny. I play /Devices by, you know, blasting them to hell and never missing because of Targeting Drone.
Frankly, based on this, I think the person with the unhealthy fascination with Trip Mine is... well, you. You're the one going on and on and on about how awful it is, while the rest of your suggestions lend credence to you never really playind /Devices (or quitting at an early level from frustration).
Leave my Tripmines alone. -
Quote:SCR appliesOriginally Posted by Moon Dog
Or just add a crossbow model/animations to Archery.
/thread
Not gonna happen. You simply can't replace the bow with a crossbow because a crossbow will require completely new animations for each power.
The only way we'll see Crossbows is as an entirely new power set or as a single temp power. -
People can wish all they like but it's still not happening.

OK. So we have some things that are somewhat commonly requested that we know some dev stances on. Hoping to get this (a) stickied, perhaps, and (b) updated by players as the stances change or get expanded on.
The purpose of this, of course, is a common resource with *specifically* what the dev team has said on certain issues. (Not things like my copypastas on things, JUST dev stances.)
I am going to ask that if you want to update - especially if a dev has just said something - you put in a link. This initial post is missing links, of course, since I'm *just* posting it and haven't found them all.
Comment, add links, etc. if there's anything I've missed (which I'm sure there is.)
Full respecs/AT/Powerset respecs
Dev stance: No. Doesn't fit their game philosophy. Also extremely difficult.
<Links needed>
Reason: It would counter all the work the devs have done to make it alt-friendly.

Regarding being able to respec your primary and secondary:
Posi: "It just breaks my brain to think of, say, all the enhancements that you can no longer slot and just gimped yourself."
Synapse: "We'd have to have it like the respec, or the character transfer, but even more expensive."
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...=powerset+posi
"Positron, could you again clarify that "power-set" and "archtype" respecs are not a possibility for the future of the game?"
Posi: "They are not on the schedule. They are a lot, A LOT of work. Some people in the office were asking about them. AT respecs seem impossible, and powerset respecs are easier, but still very very hard. I don't know what we'd have to price them at to make them worth the effort."

Quote:Right and anyone who buys their way up the reward tree can get it. Now if as a perk it went up another 25 points for every 12 months activity it could very easily entice people to sub and stay subbed.Originally Posted by Ironblade
Well, the uber VIP's get 550 per month.
And to keep bad feelings to a minimum start all VIP's off at the same time when it goes live. -
While it would be a great feature to have The devs have to go thru the company they bought the Store program from, and they may not be willing to add this without charging a ton of cash.
Our devs can't even do maintenance on the store program. They had to let the other company come in and do it. -
Quote:I've been playing a certain new games head start this weekend, and several times I've thought TOR would have been so much better if it was made like GW2.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
Fairly early in the beta I posted something here basically saying it was a good single player game, but a poor MMO, and no one seemed to understand back then how that could be possible - nor could I really elaborate then.
But I think there are a lot of important design lessons to learn from that game, because they did so much right, and so little wrong but they were the wrong things to get wrong. They were foundational things that you can't get wrong in my opinion. That game does an exceptionally good job of reminding MMO developers what you can mess with, and what you cannot mess with unless you are geniuses.
