You mean the one we don't have any Rocket Launcher models for?
I can put up with redraw if I could just get the launcher model the Council and 5th use....
/Costume piece tangent
And tho I know it'll never happen I'd personally like to see all those Epic/Ancillary power sets be available to all AT's. I honestly don't believe they would unbalance the game that much if at all, and it would help round out some character concepts. -
Congrats. The devs have already added a rocket launcher power to the game. They call it LRM Rocket and it's in the Munitions Mastery Epic Power Pool. It was added to the game when Issue 3 went live on Jan 2005, and the pool becomes available to Blasters at level 35.

Quote:You seem to be the one with the attitude problem and overreacting.Originally Posted by LegionAlpha
Thank you for the positive feedback(sarcasm). I am getting really sick and tired of coming into these forums and getting reactions like I just kicked their dog and insulted their moms. I am really sick of people thinking I am attacking them when I either make a suggestion or ask a stupid question. I am not asking you to justify anything to me, just asked a STUPID question to help me understand why such a thing would not BE a good idea so then I can drop it. If your having a bad day, DO NOT TAKE IT OUT ON ME! Attitude like this is why in the years I have reading the forums I never posted much if at all because people think this is World of Warcraft forums that any suggestion is stupid and a personal attack and that they need project it at the OP.
Hopeling was more than willing to support your suggestion as long as he was allowed to choose not to use it over the original stances.
He never said it was a bad idea, just that he wants to be able to keep using the original stances.
Oh but that's not good enough for you, is it. There's no room for compromise with you. It just completely incomprehensible to you that there may be people that like the original stances and don't want to lose them.
No it has to be your way and anyone that doesn't agree with you 100 percent is just giving you an excuse to throw a temper tantrum.
Quote:Fine I will remain silent and not post again, give any ideas or suggestions or an opinion because some people get upset(had to clean it up) over it and recommend to others not to post too.
If this is how you react to people willing to compromise and support an idea you suggested,
then this is probably for the best. I'd hate to see the tantrum you'd throw if they weren't willing to offer a compromise.Quote:Originally Posted by Hopeling

As a replacement for the current pose? Hell no. -

No, the feminine form of hero is heroine, so women are heroinic!!
Women are addictive and they make men feel good . . . for a little while, but then the feelings gone and they make you feel lousy until you get them to give you another fix. Unfortunately the euphoric feeling you used to get starts to wane and you have to find another dealer. The viscious cycle continues until they put men into their graves.

Your suggestions are fine but at least the Magic Carpet and upcoming Void Skiff are flight alternatives which are a bit more "magic" oriented than the Raptor Pack. Sadly the Void Skiff is the new "ultra rare" from the next Super Pack set so that'll be at the very least problematic to get.

Because I like the stance we have in this game, and don't like the stances in some other games.
I mean, I could explain why I DON'T want my 7'-tall metahuman brawler Red Vigor to look demure and traditionally effeminate when she's about to beat a platoon of Nazi supersoldiers into submission with her bare hands. But I don't think it really needs much explaining, honestly. And as a subjective preference I don't actually need to justify it at all. I like it. Period. The end.
You don't like it, which is fine, and that's why I wouldn't mind options. But when your suggestion is "take away things Hopeling likes", I move from "slightly to the favorable side of indifferent" towards "hell no"./WhattheysaidQuote:Originally Posted by Lothic
Because there are more than likely far more people who like it the way it is. Seems simple enough to me. *shrugs*
I wouldn't be against your suggestion as an ADDITION to the game. It could probably be relatively easily added as a new stance emote. But there's rarely ever going to be a legitimate reason to outright REPLACE something like this in the game, especially since these kinds of things have been working well enough for over eight years now. -

I have a sneaking suspicion that this "top 26 all-time" list was really just more like the "top 26 favorite shows of whoever put this article together". That seems to be the only working definition of "cult" that makes sense here.

Seems like "cult" status for EW means a show that a loyal group of fans is still talking about years after the show went off the air, or continues to try to convince others that it's "the best show ever" if the other person hasn't watched it. Also a show that in some way influenced other shows or pop-culture in some meaningful way. Viewership numbers at the time don't seem to enter into it.
I can see why all of these shows would fall under their definition of cult. I would put a couple of shows higher than they are, and perhaps swap out a show or two with things like Futurama, or V (the original series).
Doctor Who hasn't gone off the air. It's still being made. -

Meh. None of my characters are Emo enough to care about "sharing" your pain when they heal you.
So quit crying you gorram babies. It's only a sucking chest wound. I've cut myself worse shaving. Here's a band-aid to cover the hole. Now get back in there and fight.
What? You want to go to the hospital just because your leg was blown off by a landmine? What the hell were you doing on the ground Mr. Look at me I'm Flying? Serves ya right ya stupid Blaster. You act like losing a leg affects your powers. You ain't an MA scrapper flyboy. Now get back in the air and give your teammates some Death From Above support. -

In hindsight, this seems to be the root of the problems with the Paragon Market. Since it's 3rd-party, it doesn't fully integrate with the game. Problems with promo codes, not tracking items purchased on an account, etc.
I got the impression at the last Pummit that the Devs are as unhappy with how this partnership has worked out as the players are. But how to fix it is another question, which I don't have any answers for... short of scrapping the PM and starting from scratch. That of course creates its own laundry list of problems.
<preparing for the howls of outrage this option would cause>
Well they wouldn't have to remove the current PM immediately. They could hire someone that knows how to design a market feature to develop the replacement in house (making sure everything is documented so they can avoid the base code fiasco), then when it's ready replace what we have with the new store.
Downside . . . getting the cost to develop it approved. -
Once again the devs didn't create the store. They bought a license to use it from a third party vendor. The devs can't just go in and start adding/changing the programs code.

Either way both are far more interesting than posting on the forums your disdain over a thing you have not even experienced.

Best of luck with your job search and hope your time away from the game is as brief as possible.

I'll have a STACK of cash waiting on me when I get up in the morning!"
Meh. How hard is it to learn how to buy a handful of Super Packs and sell the ATO's you get. When I get 5 super packs from spending a Paragon Reward I usually get 300-500 million.
But those links you provided are very helpful for those that want to get into using the market. -

Quote:Let's also not forget that we recently had the Store down for maintenance while the third party vendors who created it could do some work on it. So it's probably very likely that they would be the ones that would have to make changes to the store interface.Originally Posted by Dr_Darkspeed
Its been almost a year and they can't even get the store interface to indicate what you have already bought. Or to use promo codes.
Even if they said today 'Right, Ignore any security concerns and lets add gifting!', I wouldn't expect to see it anytime in the forseeable future due to the amount of UI work and changes to the store they would have to make.
As such they may not be willing to add such a feature to the basic store feature that was bought for this game. They may offer it in a more complex store feature but that probably costs more than what NCSoft was willing to invest when they decided on buying what we currently have.
This is the problem with outsourcing. Fast and cheap is rarely satisfactory.
If the store was developed in house, our devs could have unrestricted access to designing what the store allowed. -

it would be a good business move for this one to do so as well.
I'm about as interested in hearing them whine about why they can't as I am hearing players whine about how this or that game system is "too hard".
It's been done. It's BEING done as we speak.
So get your act together and DO IT.
I would love to see something that allowed gifting done. I just don't want something half-pancaked added that isn't safe for us to use because the devs chose the fast cheap route like they did with the Store feature.
