Well you are also a gurl, and gurl's have cooties.

I'm sorry but this makes no sense to me. If people don't care about Incarnate content enough to subscribe, what makes you think they'd suddenly be interested if they were forced to sub.

Hell I voluntarily sub and I refuse to do any Incarnate content.

Fixed that for ya.

Oh please. If their concern was squeezing more money out of us they'd have implemented any number of we've been telling the devs we'd pay to have added to the game yet they still refuse.

Offline SG invites, Prestige Power Slide, Power Set/AT respecs to name a few.

Or they'd pull the nickel and diming stunts other hybrid MMO's are pulling.

Selling lockboxes that can't be opened unless you buy an additional key to open it.

Adding missions that can't be completed unless you buy a specific piece of gear from the store.

Taking previously purchased account wide unlocks and changing them to character specific unlocks.

Merging servers and forcing players to pay to transfer their characters off if they want to keep them.

I still want a new travel power that lets us click on a Freebie/Premium players and forces their characters to give VIP's piggy back rides to our mission entrances.

Wrong. I've already unlocked 48 slots on my favorite servers and have been forced to move characters off to make room for more. And anyone that bothers to check the suggestions section to read the request for more slots per server will see that the majority of players agree that we need more slots.

And as the overwhelming majority of responses in this thread say otherwise you once again are wrong. It is the opinion of a handful of people, and the truly funny thing about it is that those who are complaining the loudest are still paying to be VIP's. Even funnier is that some of them are so unhappy with subscribing they are willing to sub for a year in advance.

That's as funny as when P_P bought a lifetime sub to another super hero MMO even tho on our forums she professed she hated that game so much, then got caught lying about how she cancelled her LTS and got a refund, then claimed she couldn't cancel it because she forgot her credit card number.

Gee when I run into that "problem" I find that running some missions gets me more than enough salvage to continue.

So your suggestion is that the devs should continue what they are already doing.

They are continuously adding new power sets as fast as they can make them available, and all of the ones added since Freedom launched have to be purchased to use.

And the devs alreay give VIP's a free stipend of points they can save up to buy the new power sets or apply to something else if they don't want the power sets.

Ooookaay . . .

<backs away slowly in a non threatening manner>

And that would fall under miscounting the rewards he had.

I also didn't know that Premiums could buy access to the VIP server with points, increase the number of character slots per server over 36, unlock the ability to pay base rent at the registrar, or buy access to the Test/Beta servers with points.

Maybe Gemini could be so kind as to post a screenshot where all that can be bought on the market without subscribing.

No they don't.

So we hate to break the news to you but you either miscounted the rewards you had, made a purchase you forgot about, or a bug awarded you an extra reward by mistake.

Maybe you aren't looking at it from the right perspective. Try this.




Does that help at all?

And give up all the stuff he's ignoring and dismissing as not worth the price of his subscription?

VIP Player: No! Please . . . I can't take take any more!
Zwill: Mwahahaha!
Posi: Give her another Free Transfer Token!
VIP Player: Aaargh! The perks! It's too much!
Black Pebble: Add some more free power sets!
Dink: And some more costume sets!
VIP Player: Please stop!
Freitag: Add some more Incarnate content!
VIP Player: Nooooo! Please let me give you more money!
Zwill: Never! We will teach you to love our VIP perks!
VIP Player: <sobbing>
All the devs: Muwahahahahahaha!

Nope. I think the default is $200, but you can raise it to $400 or lower it to the minimum $15. to pay for your sub.

Sorry, you're right. It's been so long since I played any of the White Wolf games I completely forgot about the other forms Hispo, Glabro, Crinos, Lupus, and Homid. Thanks for jarring my memory.

And yet another perfect example of what I said earlier.

Just because he personnaly doesn't like something he assumes he speaks for everyone with his tirade

People with entitlement issues ignore or dismiss any and all facts that don't support their rants.

I recall a guy back in January demanding the store prices be lowered because he and his wife only made 70k a year and he couldn't afford to buy points. Sadly his thread didn't survive because his tirade got it modded out of existence.

I'm guessing he didn't keep his VIP status active each month and that's why he came up short.

Otherwise there's no way he couldn't afford every power set if he saved his stipend each month for the sole purpose of buying power sets because subscribers have been getting a monthly stipend since July 1st, 2011.

It's a two edged sword. On one hand it can be annoying that they are unwilling to do certain things that would make money, but on the other hand it's reassuring to know that because they aren't solely motivated by greed we are unlikely to see the type of nickel and diming that goes on in other micro-transaction driven games. For example

Selling a lockbox that can't opened unless you also buy a key to unlock it.

Taking items that used to be account wide unlocks and making them character specific unlocks that have to be purchased for each character.

Add missions to the game that cannot be completed without buying an item from the store.

Unfortunately there are no dead servers, despite what some people personally choose to believe. Factions may be dead but not servers.
