This...

EDIT: micro left when the PM hit CoX...

He had us chasing him in Warburg yesterday, remember? Well that was Zwil

Technically the devs are still working on Beast Mastery too as it still has quite a bit of buggles in it

But staves will def keep me occupied in the meantime. I think we need another AS animation on the stalker build and better sound effects, but the set is gorgeous and performs quite well.

I could not have said this better myself... Hence the quote. Staff should have been released before beast mastery, it STILL has tons of bugs. I reported a color customization bug myself just days ago, but there are more than that wrong with the set, but staves had little to no issues.

TBh I see that to be the DUMBEST reason to hold a set. If they want something special for the Anniversary then they should MAKE something for that purpose and advertise it as such. To hold a set that has been in testing so long for that reason is... (at a loss for words). They should do more vanity pets or costume piece pack or w/e, these are more reasonable things for an anniversary celebration, along with things like the chalice and zone events.

So basically this will be released no later than April 24th... I will look for it then, no earlier or later, unless he meant April of some other year...

How does it not fit the genre of game? Heroes and villains alike wear all sorts of things from those items mentioned to much much more. You forgot that Ghost Rider wore motorcycle gear... the villain in Leprechaun, I can continue if you wish... Or did I miss something?

EDIT: Ah Nevermind I see you were talking to the devs, not the poster Bravo!

EDIT 2: To add to the list of things on demand those Outfits of the Sybils in Cim, Scirocco's waist piece for males, longer hair for males, some other accessories from mirror spirit, better trenchcoats, etc...

Whoever that was should be hung by there genitals from the worlds highest tree... That ebil person u_u

Yeh I got that much, I was joking, but... I did see a clown in Atlas with his powers being listed as Clowns Summoning: Summoning Happy Clowns and he was sonic. How did that happen? or was it a fluke/bug? And for the record I saw the Clown summoning and sonics font were highlighted in blue.


bleh that should not even take aweek to do...

Ok we'll see... Thing is I will not be replying to anyone that does quote it for that nature. I am basically stating that they would be wasting their time in quoting it for that reason.

Bleh...

That depends how much you like to be pursued or chased down by certain bosses. That's when the ST hold really shines. dunno about you but as a squishy character I dont like to be hit by bosses, therefore I lock em down. The mass hold is too much end and no damage, not to mention slow recharge and the weird disorient animation that makes me think are they held? *shrugs and commences butt whoopins*

That's interesting, because I am tier 9 and have been and I never seen 550 PP I always seens 400. I will go to my master account and double check as i dont ever recall 550. Ty for the reply though...

EDIT: OIC It's noted as bonus with the completed 400 points. That would be a cool thing to add to balance VIP and F2P an additional amount of points per full subscribed year with you PP, instead of the other discount option I mentioned, that could be a simple fix.

I know I do, my St hold is my damage power on most if not all of my trollers, due to containment, with doms too, with exception of fire. The ST holds do really good damage in tandem with assault powers and to keep a boss locked down.

Gotcha.

Yeh don't misunderstand my opinion/points/arguements I am not asking that we VIP's should get everything free. I am fine with micro-transactions, that's what gets us more content, more powers and more more more. I am in total disagreement with the presentation or roll out, if you will, of the fluctuating pricing scale. That and I still believe that the market should have, at least, another 10% or so extra discount to listed items for subscribed members. I think that to be fair and not alot to ask for along with the uniformity of pricing, Then perhaps F2P will see a reason to go VIP and Paragon can make more money to develop more content, powers, etc.

EDIT: ALso where is everyone getting this 400-550 PP I only see a consecutive 400 per month, unless I missed something more recent...

Also I would like to have the option of choosing which powerset I'd like to receive free, even if I have to wait for its release. IE Dark Control came out, beautiful set, and I would have bought it anyway but I would have selected staves as my prime choice of power, I am a melee person at heart, what can I say.

When I say VIP I mean those that have paid 1 month to a 1 year plus (consecutive or in total) or that have hung around before launch of freedom. I use 7+ years as I express thats how long I have been paying and playing.

EDIT: Also you need to read what i said to Zombie and you will see you have misunderstood what I was talking about in general...

I concur! The necro pets used to annoy the hell out of me when they ran into melee to toss out gloom then used melee attacks sometimes they even used to just depend on gloom w/o using the melee attacks, that was of course until GoTo was issued then that def recorrected the Melee issue, but now I rarely use that command with my Necro pets. Lich is by far the smartest in that set, the Lt's and even the dumb bottom feeders act pretty well in combat and when to get in or out of melee.

Zombie, you are usually looked to as the old grandmother (no offense) of this community on issues like these, I respect that, and I also agree with you when you say we should pay for the extra (as I am not crying that we should get everything free as VIP's). There should be a uniformity with pricing, VIP's should have different rates on top of what you quote to be a discount as the 400 is more of a Thank you for staying VIP. That would be like going to a club and reserving a VIP table but you dont have to pay for the 250 dollar bottle of booze as a minimal to get that booth, could be a bad example, but I think you know where I am coming from with using it.

I fail to see how VIP's actually gain from this. I would have rather seen them provide us with an option as to what we want our free set to be versus them picking it for us on top of the price uniformity. It's sad as I am sure you admitted the same thing that a vanity pet like the little green fellah that did not drink green beer and puke rainbows cost as much as a new powerset for a very minor inf buff, then we get other pets that cost 600, 400 and w/e else and they are much more of a liability with detoggling toons of their mez defenses etc, but their abilities are a bit more useful.

Really? You are really wanting to go there with this? You seem to forget that GR was a PAID expansion, not free... That being said the powersets that came with that expansion had already been accounted for in the price of the game. It was like prepaying for the sets with a credit card, while still collecting the monthly fee. So I would say unsavory...

I see where you are coming from, but i will agree to disagree with the labels you place on VIP player. The I see what you say regarding the loose term guard players. I could say the same thing for premium players that dont have enough cash TO afford a monthly subscription or to be plain, don't want to pay one at all, which btw this was me prior to subscribing to coh.

I have one rule: I will only pay one subscription for a MMO.

I refuse to pay multiple subscriptions and the day I leave CoH for another MMO, will be because of the rule I have in place.

With that said, others that are premimum players can purchase what hey want and enjoy it for their limited funds or for whatever reason they have for not being a subscribed VIP.

I agree and disagree at the same time, but moreso disagree. upper management is attracted to money... no matter if they get it from the bum that stole a laptop and had a bit of money on his pre-paid card that some one gave to him or the rich kid that pays and never plays. To say they want one market over the other is silly, especially since it is the VIP's that got them here in the first place.

I don't know how to interpret this but this sounds like you had some salty encounter with the same type of issue we have goin on currently. But I will answer your question. Do you see a non VIP Beta server? No. Who helps them develop the game with intense feedback both negative and positive? We VIP's do of course. That's why. If I were driven into premium, I would spend my subsription on points, not adding a penny more. You might actually get a better deal that way, of course you may miss out on the occasional free content, like WWD arcs and the powerset that filters in every now and then, but this way you get to pick what you want to your subscription fee to go towards instead of the devs/marketing dept or w/e tell you that you get dark control over staves as your free power. So all in all it may just be better to be premium after all...

Ok, I'll bite...

Assuming this was true, you'd think from a marketing stand point my previous statement would be the ultimate goal of what PM is or was supposed to be, Paragon Studios wants money, like everyone else. They make more money from VIP subscribers that BUY more points like F2P and still pay their subscription, and I am sure there are many out there that think this way.

"I get this powerset for free as F2P has to pay for it, then I have to pay for staves and beast mastery, not to mention I want the imperial dynasty, pocket D, roman, and super hero/villians super packs."

^that way they pocket their monthly subscription AND the purchases off the market... your logic in the way they'd rather have premium players is partially flawed.
