Thirty-Seven

That converts to the 21st of February, 2013 for those who can't do math.

Rush must be one of those folks who argues that February doesn't exist on account of the extra R that people forget, or that it isn't long enough to be a real month (like Pluto isn't large enough to be a real planet), and so ascribe to the 59-day January approach.

Win.

I only got this far...

Shield Charge, IMO is the power that needs to be fixed. It does far too much damage when one considers its placement in a Defensive Set.

Also, I don't think "irrelevant" means what you think it does, or you need to figure out double negatives. It might also behoove you to avoid throwing in terms like "bulls---" (or its euphemistic abbrevation) into what should be a convincing argument.

Yes, I said that above the graph.

Doing the math based on guesstimates of the numbers... yes, yes I do mean that. Darn math .

Well, that seems to be a bit of semantics to me. Don't distortions obscure things? And aren't we trying to see where we sit now, versus the past?

Also, I didn't mean to imply that TonyV was trying to mislead anyone. Just that if our aim is to see "now," it would seem to me that CoV would get in the way of that.

Hmmmm, while I agree with you... I took Alpha to mean that the "best" combination for a min-max/speedrun would change, due primarily to different options becoming available... not that they would necessarily become more discerning. I could be wrong.

Can we get a chart that goes from Q1 '06 and after (to elliminate the distortion caused by CoV's release)? It would make fluctuations a bit more obvious, I should think.

[Edit]
Nevermind that. I did some amateur Paint editing to take out the first part of the graph. Then, I made the scale go from 4000 to 8000. The following graph plays up the irregularities, and makes the image a bit less "average."

Also, I added a red horizontal line to compare where we are "now" to past sales. As was stated, '07 was lower, but almost negligibly so.



If we assume for a moment that this data roughly reflects subscriptions (dubious at best) then the real issue is found entirely in the last 4 bars. It seems like a good 15-20% loss. That would, indeed, contribute to the feelings that abound on the forums.

This, this entirely.

I mostly agree. However, I will be bringing a few Heroes redside. A Warshade, possibly my PB... The Dual Pistols character I make... My main will become a vigilante for badging...

I only plan to move one or two villains, possibly only my villain badger (but he will only go rogue, not full hero).

I am unsure what intent I am supposed to take out of this.

Taking this out of context, will lead me to disagree. Some people are better than others. No, we are not all equal.

Whether it is public or private is irrelevant. This is a Teen rated game, yes, but more importantly, this is not a public arena where our "rights" are held... It is a private venue owned completely by Paragon Studios. They, and not us, get to decide what is and isn't allowed. In so saying, we as players do not have the right to say whatever we want, regardless of "consent" status, or any other factor. They make the rules, period. So, this particular point is moot.

And here, apparently, is where the hypocrisy comes in, eh? You are asking people not to judge one another, but then you imply that those who disagree with you are prudes? Nice.

Perhaps the issue comes down to age. If most of the players of this game are 20+ (which you claim, but I have no actual idea about) then most folks did not grow up accustomed to full internet dating, much less pretendy sex. I know I still get weird looks from my peers that I met my BF online. And I am only 27. So, it may just be an age gap issue.

However, to interject just a touch of my own opinion on this issue, for once, I do have to agree with the above poster who said it is just weird for folks to be pretending to be opposite genders + or - 20 years of their true age, and in some cases differing orientations, and then making pretendy sex with superheroes in a pocket dimensional nightclub... I swear, that that was so NOT the developers' intended purpose for this game.

Because, the other way, was just a bit confusing.

It is possible... but my [Deceive] isn't recharged yet, so it wasn't me.

Help, is here.

Hmmmm, it's as if some people don't know how to read or something. Read his post again, for the first time.

He said that "content" varies by he who consumes it. And you go on to define content in your own way. I think that Power Customization is a wealth of content... why? Because it increased the number of character concepts I can realize in this game, which for me, is the only real "content" I need.

Do I like doing new missions with new ATs on new maps versus new enemies? You bet I do, but what I really like about this game is the literally millions of ways I can make an image of a character in my head come to life. And as long as I play this game, I will be able to do that.

Seeeeee, smart people can be funny too!

I guess I don't really get this constant cry for more content. I am as anxious as the next guy to see GR come out... like yesterday even, but I still have tons of things to do in this game that I haven't done. You can't tell me that you have totally finished everything you could possibly want to do already? At the very least, I am sure there is a character you have thought about making, but have not... well, bucko, now is the time to do so.
