And what promise would that be? Please link it so we know what you are referring to. No game has the budget or the staff to be able to add new items each and every week.

No that isn't what he's saying at all. He's basing his opinion on your previous post history where you have repeatedly displayed entitlement issues and ridiculous arguments, and judging from the responses he can see from people agreeing and disagreeing with your current post that this is another example of why he put you on ignore in the first place.

After all one doesn't need to stand in the rain to know you'll get wet.


Personally while I think the tone of your post could have been worded better, I don't disagree with everything you've said you'd like.

Well the devs don't have to tamper with the base code. They could always modify the Vault which is storage outside of bases. What bases have is merely an access point to the Vault, it's not an actual storage bin.

Are you referring to the guy that said the Freebie Friday items being given out were like "giving a starving person moldy rotten food with maggots and tapeworms in it to where they are "dead if they eat it, dead if they don't"

Yes there are people like that in every game/forum.

I know you won't like hearing the truth but, the devs have been fair.

They've given everyone free respecs each time they've changed a power so players can fix their builds. Everyone, not just the people with characters that were affected by the changes.

Furthermore they've added extra enhancement trays that once purchased allow players to pull 50 enhancements off of a build during a respec, and Enhancement Unslotters that let us pull individual enhancements off of builds without even burning a respec.

Fitness is inherent now so you get all four powers for free. You'll be able to add slots once you get to the part of the respec where you add slots.

You can have multiple builds on each character but if your asking if you can swap out enhancements between them, you can't. Each build has to be slotted seperately.

That's only true if a player never purchases any extra enhancement trays off of the store.


The store currently sells up to 4 extra enhancement trays which allow players the ability to pull 50 enhancements off of a build during a respec.

Extra trays cost 1600 Paragon Points

Players can also purchase Enhancement Unslotters which allows them to pull enhancements off of a build, 1 at a time, without burning a respec. Enhancement Unslotters can be purchased thru the store.

• 120 Paragon Points (PP) for 1 unslotter
• 300 PP for 3 unslotters (100 PP each)
• 450 PP for 5 unslotters (90 PP each)

They can also be acquired by purchasing Super Packs as one of the random "prizes"

Players can also get Unslotters thru Paragon Rewards

• 1 unslotter in Tier 6 along with the Boxing costume set
• 2 unslotters in Tier 6 along with the Tailor Discount
• 2 unslotters in Tier 6 along with the Assemble the Team power
• 2 unslotters in Tier 7 along with the Experienced power
• 2 unslotters in Tier 8 along with the Colored Titles option
• 1 unslotter in Tier 8 along with the Remote Vault command
• 1 unslotter in Tier 8 along with the Return to Battle power
• 8 unslotters in Tier 9 (repeatable selection)

And a team of tanks makes teaming pure awesome.

Tanker Tuesdays coming to a server near you.

Oh no, someone doesn't like a stranger's attitude on the internet.

Get over it.

How is Game of Thrones? It's on Cable right? I ask because I cancelled my cable services after becoming disgusted with the direction away from Sci-fi Skifee has chosen to pursue.

Yeah, I see your point. Losing a million customers for various reasons in the first 6 months and still seeing a steady decline towards what the minimum number of subscribers they reported they needed to turn a profit (EA said that it needs 500,000 subscribers) is no cause for them to be alarmed and panic.


Now as to that other sci-fi game, if it's the one I'm thinking of they had 6 issues added to the game in the two years they've been active and they also added a lot of stuff between issues to their store since microtransactions were planned from the start.

That's nearly the same amount of issues we ourselves recieved during the first two years here.

Personally I still think the biggest mistake that game made, if they never intended to intentionally switch to F2P from the get go, was that they continued to sell LTS's after launch. That removed a significant portion of their steady income from monthly subscriptions.

The suspicious part of me wouldn't be surprised to learn that the creators of that other sci-fi game always planned to eventually switch to a hybrid F2P business model once the sub fees dropped below a certain point.


And for the record I like the IP of this most recent sci-fi MMO a hell of a lot more than I do the IP of that other sci-fi MMO. If I had to choose which one to pull the plug on it wouldn't be the one with the laser swords.

My reasons for leaving had to do with the lousy customer support not the in game experience. If I could have gotten in touch with CS and fixed my launcher issue I'd still be subscribing.

Uhm those aren't regular content because each briefing specifically warns the player that they need to bring along team mates.

Stop the Rikti Raid and destroy the Council's files from Phillipa Meraux

The Council protects its most precious info with heavy duty security protocols, so you'll need a teammate to help you crack into their network.

Check out the caverns from Eliza Thorpe

And you'll need at least one teammate.

Go to the office, prevent the fire from starting and rescue the people that are being held by the Family

The fire bombs they use have to be disarmed simultaneously, so bring along a couple of teammates.

Stop Nemesis' Macro Assembler from Anton Sampson

So you'll need at least three teammates.




The Hollows mission I was referring to gave no indication that multiple players were needed to complete it. Soloers found out the hard way and had to beg for assistance to complete the mission which was a PITA at the time because we couldn't auto drop missions. That's why the devs changed it.


Edit: And my memory isn't faulty because I never personally ran any of those missions you have provided links to. One cannot be guilty of not remembering something he never experienced in the first place.

Ah yes the popular "I've hard this gripe before" dismissal.

Fact. They started merging the servers before 6 months had passed due to the drastically dwindling playerbase.

Fact. They openly admitted sales were disappointing.

Fact. In a desperate attempt to save the game and attract potential customers they are switching from a subscription based business model to a hybrid F2P business model.


I hope it works out for them. I'll go back when the F2P launches to see if they fixed the problem that preventing me from being able to log into the game, but I'm not spending money to not be able to play a game. I can keep my $15 bucks and not play for free.

Oh I thought that costume creator was a huge slap in the face. I almost cancelled my pre-order when I saw it.

I had no problem with them wanting to use a humanoid skeleton to make synching with the voice acting easier, but they could have given us something like STO costume creator so we could customize up some decent alien heads.
