That's the problem with guessing. One is seldom right. That's why it's called guessing. It requires assumptions based on facts not in evidence.
There are plenty of players that craft basic IO's and dump them on the market for 1 inf each. Some are VIP's, some are Prem's, some have IO's and the market permanently unlocked, some don't, and some of us with multiple accounts are all of the above. -

I'll conceit that point. But given no growth on the equipment, it means people that use SOs are wearing the same gear from level 25 to level 50 and just repairing it over and over again.

Quote:A certain Sci-Fi game that recently to go F2P hybrid due to financial tribbles not only requires it's players to spend in game currency to maintain and upgrade equipment, it also has recently implemented a new piece of equipment that players have to spend in-game currency, in-game resources that takes a long amount of time acquire, build a base that can construct that particular equipment (taking even more time and resources), AND $20 bucks, per character.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
Nearly every fantasy game (not just MMO) has gear wear. You have to spend your in-game money to repair your gear, which is maintaining your stats, not improving them. Replacing SOs is similar to gear wear.

Quote:And where's your datamining evidence that proves all Prem badgers that collect crafting bages are players that have unlocked IO's thru the Paragon Reward system?Originally Posted by Demon_Shell
Returning players that had crafting unlocked through the Reward system, not by buying a license.
Please provide a link to it so we can confirm it's accuracy.
The truth is you have no idea whether or not the people buying the IO licenses are crafting IO's for badges unless you know them personally. I know several who craft that believe its cheaper for them to spend $4 bucks a month on the IO and Market access than $15 bucks on a sub. -

Other than having never heard of anyone buying an invention license so they can make regular IOs.

Quote:Of course he did. He probably did that in preparation for the insanity defense he'll have his lawyer try to argue.Originally Posted by SuperOz
That's true; my friend in Colorado said that they found a red wig and he was wearing makeup. They also said (they have a medical background and a relative in mental health) that it's possible this guy has had a schizophrenic breakdown. That's just an opinion, of course...I don't want to suggest or excuse his actions in any way.

Either way, he'll be in prison for a minimum of 20+ years. Simply due to the asinine nature surrounding the death penalty laws (Colorado is one of the States that has it) and the absurd number of appeals that get done for each and every guy there.
Max of one appeal and if that fails, he's marched off to the table before the day is through IMO.
This guy doesn't deserve a trial. There's no doubt he isn't guilty. Take him to the roof of a skyscraper and toss him off.
Edit: And to any argument about treatment of the criminally insane or rehabilitation. Throwing a criminal sane or insane off of a skyscraper is called Shock Therapy. The shock of hitting the ground permanently cures them of any insanity and/or rehabilitates them of their criminal behavior. They never commit another crime or do anything crazy again. 100% effective garunteed. -

Since the devs explained their reasons for limiting access, all you need to do is look up their post on the topic to see why Toast supports their decision.

Just one of each? What if the Premium player has more than one character with different ATs or spread across a couple of servers?
That is possible for Premiums with earned or purchased character slots - and is even technically possible for someone who has just 2 alts.
I'm also not sure if it's possible with the current forum software, which seems to be a bit stupid at times. That would be asking it for a lot of individualized profiles, instead of the really basic VIP/not VIP. There's an awful lot of Premiums accounts out there, and the potential for lots more./AlltheaboveQuote:Originally Posted by Aett_Thorn
Yeah, the forum software might not be able to handle something this complex. Would possibly be nice, but I just don't know if the forums could handle something like that. -
I'd like to see some of the aura options moved out of the aura section and into the different body parts.
For example:
When we choose a hairstyle I'd like to be offered the option of selecting one of the hair auras to go along with it.
Same with eyes when we select a face.
Maybe add the head auras under details. I know Beastly rage would look great with the various animal/monster heads
Same with the hand auras.
I have a lot of concepts that would look better if I could customize my auras with bits from different ones, and have different colors for each.
Red glowing eyes
beastly rage breath
golden magic runes around the hands in combat
blue light sparkles on the torso
and the seismic movement pathing aura -

Quote:It's no wierder than being able to convert base salvage into brainstorms and then convert brainstorms into any random IO salvage And we've been able to do that since around I12-I13.Originally Posted by Roderick
1- so you want to convert your Kinetic Weapon into a Clockwork Winder, or your Military Cybernetic to a Mutant DNA Sample, or your Psionic Manifestation to an Inanimate Carbon Rod? No thanks, that would would just be weird, and it's bad enough that we do that with Incarnate Salvage - though that has a Lore precedent when you take the Incarnate item from Trapdoor in Ramiel's arc.

You realize how many IO's you have to make to get the crafting badge (and how many millions you have to spend to make them), right? If you can't give them away/put them in your SG's storage bin(s), you have to either delete them, which is a waste, or sell them in the AH one at a time.
Screw profit (although getting a token amount would be nice). If I've spent the time and money/tickets to make the damn things, I want at least for someone to be able to use them. -

Not trying to be a smart alec or say they shouldn't add anymore, but this is sort of the way I see it. 48 is a MASSIVE number of slots. Heck, 36 for premium is too. I can't recall a single other MMO where you could get anywhere near that on a single server. Surely, somewhere in those dozens and dozens of toons, you have one or two that aren't seeing any use, and can be safely deleted?To quote Bill, "Nope."Quote:Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Nope.
Having played several other MMOs... well, if we had our character possibilities in other MMOs, other MMOs would split out quite a few of these as separate classes, I'm sure.
Most seem to have their "healer," their "Tank," their "DPS," maybe their "Buffer/debuffer." And once you've played one, you've played them all.
Meanwhile, my Ice/Emp plays far different from my Fire/Kin from an Ill/Sonic from....
Without considering the Epic Archetypes, and only using the Primary and Secondary to determine possible combinations, we have the ability to create over 1,000 different characters on each server.
add in the power pools, patron pools, ancillary pools, not to mention the various purchasable inherent powers, and we'd need Arcanaville to get te exact number of current unique character builds we can make.
48 slots doesn't even scratch the surface of the number of character slots we need per server.
Even using all 16 servers we currently only make a dent in what we need. -

What comes next is a new system. Which they must devote significant resources to, which is not at all cost effective if it's a niche system (see: Arena PvP, PvP zones, Mission Architect), all of which has already been posted in this thread but somehow you're not seeing it.

Quote:Uhm that's what players have been doing for years, and subsequently inviting their own alts into the SG's which the devs don't want them doing.Originally Posted by Ukaserex
Why not just create your personal lair within your sg base? If you don't have the decorating privileges, ask for them.
I suspect, if all the players that want personal lairs started making their own SGs, the dev team just might come up with a way to make the supergroup mean something more than a personal storage area.
If indeed it's that much of a resource hog (and I read why they changed the storage cap down to 30 from ..999, I think), then a prefab map or three for sale at the market might not be that much of a stretch.
Not sure how they'd make SGs and their bases more meaningful...but that can be for another day.
Oh and FYI the salvage storage drop was 2,500 to 30. The bins held a lot more than 999 -

However they have been known to make comments in the suggestion forum if there was smething they wanted to respond to. Like the following

Sorry Charlie. You don't have the authority to tell other people to stop posting comments in a thread. If people still want to voice their opinions an share relevent information they are free to do so.
It's not as if this is a 3 month old thread that's been necroed. -
I also want them to give us back the option to have wings with the bolero that they removed as a "bug" just after they released the Magic Booster.

Quote:We already have simultaneous auras. We've had costume auras an power auras side by side for years. What we don't have is the ability to choose more than one aura from the Aura category in the Costume creator. However we have been getting new costume pieces in different categories that have their own aura. So it would be nice if the devs would take some of the auras and add them as options to other categories.Originally Posted by Triplash
What I was thinking was more along the lines of expanding people's costume options by allowing things like two simultaneous auras
For example have glowing eyes as choice when you pick a face
have beastly breathe as a choice with the animal/monster heads -
