I still use lowercase for all of my and have no ... so... what are you talking about?


(all of those were lowercase, in case you were wondering )

No. An account can only have an edition applied once. So 6 copies of Architect Edition would mean you'd end up with 1 free month and 5 unused codes... so you'd have ended up paying ~$60 for 1 month.

OP is the R&D division for [censored].com!

This shouldn't be used for the big climatic battle in the first place. Those should be in instances like they are now. This, IMO, would really mostly just be an improved 'hunt X' mission. And also, of course, there shouldn't be one pre-defined spawn point so there should never be the hoard of people waiting for him to spawn or any of that mumbo jumbo, and there shouldn't be special XP rewards for defeating him so there's no incentive to try to kill-steal.

Make it an option whether to do an instanced version or an uninstanced version ('Enter Archon Morrison's Stronghold, wade through his men, and defeat him' or 'Draw Archon Morrison out of his Stronghold to the streets by beat up his men and taking their lunch money'). I just see this as adding a bit of branching to a story arc without actually having to write branching stories, as well as potentially adding a little replay value to a story arc without a lot of extra work (ignoring the up-front investment of time it'd take to implement this tech).

RF2009/RadioFreedom/RadioFreedomServer (hardly exclusive, unless you count 'the channel is overflowing with members' as being 'exclusive') run Task/Strike Forces all the time. Trying to form TFs via /b or /sea are generally the worst methods to go about it... if you simply refuse to join one of the many globals for your server, that's not the game's problem. And posi tf is a compromise? It's one of the least liked TFs in the game, I'm not sure how that'd be a compromise!

Hell, any non-brain-dead application from after the DOS/fat16 era should have no issue with >3 file extension length (emphasis on 'non-brain-dead' and 'should' ). Back in the early days of fat, file names had two parts, an 8 character filename, and a 3 character extension hard coded into the format of the file system (i.e. they were 2 different fields with fixed lengths, and the '.' actually didn't exist!). With modern file systems, file extensions aren't treated specially, it's all just one string.

This was your completely superfluous tangent of the day. You may proceed with your discussion of this idea, which I support.

It appears you're running a 64bit Operating System, so yeah, you should put it in the 'Program Files (x86)' directory instead.

What people have already said, but there's something I didn't see them mention: The RMTers still have to earn the money in game (i'm counting 'stealing' as 'earning' in this case ). Inf/Items bought through NCSoft, would merely appear out of the ether. There is a difference, the RMTers can't generate their inventory any faster than the game already allows... NCSoft would be able to generate infinite inf in zero time, completely screwing the system.

And honestly, I'd rather have RMTers (and the spam that comes with it) than have NCSoft sell items. And I've bought most of the item packs, so it's not like I'm against micro-transactions on a fundamental level.

Ah, I'd always assumed it was SS before (never looked close enough to notice until this thread), so I'd just assumed he remade it for i16 with the alt animations.

I think it has more to do with the marketing thinking that Power Customization is enough hype on its own that Going Rogue information wouldn't help their PR any. Also, based on the updater, I have a very strong suspicion that we'll be getting some juicy info on Going Rogue at Hero Con, since by then the competition's PR/honeymoon phase will be ending, so coming out with your ace in the hole then would be perfect to deal a serious wound to them.

My philosophy is that if an idea can't stand up to criticism, it's not a good idea (yet). I know that is definitely not the way to make friends, and I know at times I can go overboard (I've pissed off my best friend so many times by being too blunt with her I also have a tact for poorly wording what I say so I sound blunt when I meant to be joking ), but I'd rather give my honest opinion when I can (sometimes you simply shouldn't).

I didn't think 1, 4, and 5 were good due to losing the brand recognition (I think the 'City of...' is a huge part of the brand thats been built up over the years), and 3 was because Heroes/Villains are still the main part of the game.

I actually liked #2 (re-reading my post I was really vague about that, although when I wrote it I thought that was obvious, so that's my bad), since it keeps all the brand recognition that the game(s) have built up over the years, still supports most of the short hand methods used to refer to the games ('City of...' 'City of X' 'cox' 'cov' 'coh' etc) and accurately reflecting that it's one game.

And as for the last comment, I thought I'd remember reading them call it 'City of Heroes and Villains' in some of the Going Rogue PR, but after a bit of searching I couldn't find any mention of it, so I might have just gotten confused with another site calling it that, and not actually NCSoft, so that's my bad also.

I'm sorry for any confusion or angst I've caused, that's not my intention.

Bonfire would be pretty damn broken (its the reason it was changed so that it still does knockback to higher con enemies... people were using it as an auto-hit perma knockdown trap for deep purple enemies)

It's not +Health, but Elec come i16 will be getting a pretty sexy self heal in the form of Energize (replacing Conserver Power, does -end cost, +regen, and +heal). It has twice the recharge of Recon (so 1 minute with standard SO/common IO slotting), and a 30 second duration for the +regen/-end cost (so easy to get 50% uptime... making Power Sink seem almost skippable! )

Looks like the alternate animations for Super Strength to me.

But they are before and after the resurrection, you can't ignore that.

You mean, how they balance every other power in the game? They don't take powers individually, they take powersets as a whole. This is what we already told you.
