As long as current subscribers are treated very well and those monthly 400 cash points are worth a lot (at least the same value as the old $14.95), then I am all for drawing more players to this game through F2P. I am less worried about the "bad players" coming to this game because the worst players I've met are in a paying game that starts with W and ends with W.
I've just had bad experience with F2P because the game mechanism forces you to buy cash items. I have no problem paying monthly fees but please DO NOT FORCE me to buy cash items if I don't have to.
An example would be: Please don't invent a new trial where you need to buy certain cash items to beat. And please don't introduce Death Penalty that you suffer from when you die and you have to buy cash item to get rid of it (IE. Allods).
What I really want to see is the possibility of creating your own Power Set through cash shop. :P
I am expecting to see:
1. Cash item for bigger storage room, recipe room, enhancements holder. (this will be great!)
2. Cash item to increase the "blue bar" experience so you can gain exp faster for a duration of time. (this will be great too)
3. Cash item for new travel powers.
2. You can. You will be able to buy any Veteran Reward power, including the Experienced power (currently the 78 month vet reward power)
3. You will be able to purchase parts of the Natural and Animal packs, including, I would presume, Ninja Run and Beast Run. You should also be able to purchase the GvE Jump Pack and Steampunk Jump Pack. -
Congratz to EMPulse!!!
And first after Red Name

OK, I whipped up Steambot:

That said, if there are seagull/pelican parts, I totally have a hero idea ready!!! -
Quote:Actually the problem is, even if you dismiss your pets and re-summon them, they are still unresponsive. I have been forced to log out with my MM and leave him logged out until the next live server downtime before his zombies would move again.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
Yeah! Remember when pets didn't zone with us? Man, the game was unplayable then.
Oh, wait, you mean they only added that functionality less than 18 months ago?
And a MM without pets kinda sucks -

I don't know about the current animator, but I do know BaB would have ripped off my head and punted it out the window while shouting "T for Teen" if I asked him to make martial arts animations that work with that costume.
Would make a hilarious picture!!! -

It's nice that you fixed that and all, but I think pets becoming unresponsive after zoning whether it be city zones or even missions is still a problem. It happened to me last night again, so any ideas when that is gonna get fixed?

I suppose that's why they call it a loyalty program, rather than a just-cuz-we-like-you program.
Umm, yeah. This is awesomesauce.
Vanguard goodies without needing VM? Awesome. New emote, cool.
New costume piece, cool, New badge cool.
Non Combat Pet, very Cool.
Here is one thing I would Like to see:
Character Transfer. Not just from one server to another, but one ACCOUNT to another. To prevent people from selling characters to others, both CoX accounts must have the same NCSoft master account (which means both accounts are yours, and linked to your main NCSoft Account). This can also allow the badge for transfer to another account (the one that ppl got when they transfered from the NA servers to the EU ones).
Even if one had to pay for it, even if said transfer took a while to process while someone actually transfered said character. -
I would like to add my own 2 cents now: The NCSoft Launcher is a piece of garbage. I used it when I tried eXteel, and it was CRAP.
PLEASE! I BEG you. Do NOT make this a manditory thing! So far, from what I have read, the only people supporting the change to the NCSoft Launcher are people who have never used it.
Also, good by GF and Hello SM.
Animal Parts Pack: Looking nice so far. And if anyone here HASN'T seen the cat parts, here is a pic: (Its the one on the far right)

I love the Winter Event. I might ask for at least a few more days, maybe 1 week longer, but I will take what I get!
I am excited about the Winter event. Can't come soon enough

Quote:Yeah, I noticed that tooOriginally Posted by GMan3
I noticed some animation bugs dealing with various "portals" and was wondering if anyone else has seen them. First is the door on the ship for Striga/Talos/IP, click on it and the door opens, but takes a LONG time for anything else to happen. My last count was 15 seconds before I clicked on the door again and finally went through. Second is SG Base Portal. When you click on it instead of the energy aura and then zoning, you start walking and fade away. Lastly, is the man-holes/pits. Click on them and instead of jumping in, you start walking and fade away just like the Base Portals.
I know, these are all minor and all, just wondering if anyone is seeing them too.
Not just you G-Man (3) -
I'm in!!! And it IS issue 19!!!!

Quote:Probably not, but I imagine that at this current time, they are all busy getting the maintenance/patch done (which may or may not include I19).Originally Posted by American_Angel
Really...would it be too much effort for a redname to post a "Yes!" or "No!" on the i19 question? lol.
-
YAY!! Issue 19! No more Monkeys!
I hope they fixed the other AE exploit, or cop teams will start to form like crazy

Quote:ZOMG!! I seriously DID NOT notice that!!Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
That would be the example character they built to show off the Mutant pieces for the Origins pack. -
Quote:Under normal circumstances, I would be ok with this, but Soul Extraction has such a huge cooldown time, that it makes it less worth it. And since the ghost doesn't change maps with the character, It's unlikely you would get benefit from being exemplared...Originally Posted by Olantern
Probably to prevent situations where a level 50 necromancer, who therefore Extracts a level 50 Soul, is exemplared to level 30 yet enjoys the benefits of having a level 50 ghost following him around, fighting the level 30 content. Alternatively, imagine how unhelpful the Extracted Souls produced by, say, a level 20 character would be when he's sidekicked up to 50.
Essentially, it's making the Extracted Souls follow the same rules as other pets.
<edit> It is also likely that this update added the new auras and capes for the Origin Pack...We just need the buy button now..........</edit> -
According to my source, the 78 month vet reward is ...
A temp power granting you 5 bars of patrol XP, but only usable 5 times -
Quote:Well, assuming the price is reasonable ($8-$10) I will definitely be picking this up then. The aura's are awesome (and more than a few of my toons will be using them), and Capes? I got a couple of ideas there too, but I nearly squeed with the possibility of these capes and aura's at level 1!!!Originally Posted by theOcho
Yes, they will be available from creation on.
-
Hmmm, I truly enjoy the Halloween event, but I do think a bit more than 10 days would be cool. But, if they plan on cutting it short so they can implement Issue 19, I am cool with that. If not, stretch it out a bit more. Give us until Nov 3 or 4th plz.

Quote:I was hoping for moreOriginally Posted by Quasadu
Sounds like it's just the Alpha slot for now, since they didn't mention any other Incarnate abilities. I assume we'll see several more in Issue 20.
Ahh well, and congrats for being first after red name
-
Very cool
Is this unlocking just one Incarnate level, or the 3-4 that Postron mentioned when the 1st level was excluded from GR???
<edit>
Oh, and being able to shoot blasts from different locations????
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
And being able to enter Preatoria?? YAY!!!!
</edit> -
Considering TheOcho's wording I would surmise that this new 'initiative' is one of the following:
1. Part of a planned expansion for seasonal events (ie. Haloween/Christmas) with more unlockable costume pieces, either for logging in during the event, or earnable through missions/salvage/participation during said events.
2. Part of a booster pack, possibly an aura-only booster pack, or as part of another booster pack.
3. An unlockable aura which is in some way related to the new End-Game content, possibly requiring missions or incarnate levels to unlock.
4. Part of a new In-Game event that has still to be revealed. This could be something similar to the Rikti raids, but new and unseen.
5. Part of Issue 20 or some other planned free expansion of the game.
Now, I seriously doubt that #5 is true, especially considering TheOcho's term that they were being planned for 'Another Initiative'.
I think that #1 or #2 are the most likely. -
Hmmm, an Aura pack might actually be well received by the CoX community. Let us assume that they are developing an aura pack.
Let us also assume that it will have approximately 8 auras in it. I would most likely purchase this pack (I'm a sucker for costume pieces). Especially if said aura's would be available right from level 1 (which, if I'm paying for them, I would want them to be).
This said, I think the dev's will understand that it would be more economical to try for value for dollar. The Party Pack in that regard was a failure, as $1 per emote was percieved as way to high.
Is $1/aura too high? How about if said aura was available at level 1? Let marketing explore for a bit. Now that GR is out, micro transactions will be their main cash injections. (subscriptions being their bread and butter).
Just some thoughts.
Oh, and the Three aura's are freaking awesome!!!! -
Quote:They meant that if you pre-order during March or April, you get Dual Pistols. If you have dual pistols, they will not take them away for two months. That's just nonsensical. If you pre-order in May or June, I assume you do not get the Dual Pistols or Demon Summoning unlocked.Originally Posted by F_M_J
To answer your question, my thought process was that they said you would get access to them for March and April, but does not mention May or June. Why would they say you just have access to them for March and April, and not May and June. I would think they would just say March through July, or something like that.
This is why I really hate ambiguous statements, since a devout believer and a hard core skeptic can take the same statement and come to two vastly different conclusions.
It just seems extremely weird to me that they would release 2 of the biggest key features of an expansion so early. That would seem to be akin to World of Warcraft releasing the Death Knight class 4 months before Wrath of the Lich King was released.
I think it's odd that you think that two powersets for existing classes are two of the biggest features of the expansion.
I would think all the New archtypes for the new beginning zone, the New beginning zone itself, the fact that all the tutorials are going through an upgrade, being able to switch sides, a massive graphics upgrade, new costume pieces, badges, missions, and stories are all more substantial than two powersets which have been in the rumor mill for two years now.
By giving us access to the Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning early, they are simply giving us a small taste of all the goodies that are to come! -
The EAT change is sort of meh. I honestly thing that 20 was chosen for a reason. I have a lvl 50 hero. I do not have a level 50 villian. When GR comes out, if I switch my hero to a villian, I now have a 50 villian, do I get a villian EAT now?
To remove that issue, they lowered the level you get the EAT to 20 (which is presumably also the level you have to be to switch sides). That way, people aren't moving level 50's to the other side just to unlock the EAT's there.
Just my .02 Influence/Infamy.
