If you get the chance, let him know that those of us with just single-screen widescreen(16:9/16:10) might like some kind of fix or option, too.
The -vert at those aspects isn't nearly as bad as what's being discussed here, but it's still there. -
Quote:Why? What difference does it make? You can't spend any money on it yet either way. This way people at least know what it's going to cost them and they can budget ahead of time. Add to that that this is hardly the first company that announces the price of their game/expansion before all of its content is announced, and it appears that yet again, people are ******** just for the sake of ********.Originally Posted by Silver_Lobo
Let's be honest here. Buissness yada yada. We know that. No one is denying they are a buissness with numero uno being MAKE MONEY.
I think honestly they should have announced FIRST what is IN GR... and then later announce payment plans.
Now, me not being able to get the boxed edition, THAT is something to start a forum riot over

Quote:Yea, things like that are usually the most fun part about this game. Doing a new TF/SF for the first time, with my brothers and some (ex-)SG mates is always great.Originally Posted by Golden_Avariel
Agreed! I had a lot of fun both times but especially the first time with my SG when no one had done it and we explored every nook and cranny. We were all 17-18th level and most dinged at least 20 by the end. A great challenge and great fun.

Quote:I know this. I still use the phrase "same difference" everytime I can, and I don't even speak English in daily lifeOriginally Posted by Local_Man
OK, I'll add my own little pet peeve . . .
Too many people say that two things have the "same difference." They mean "same thing" or "no difference." You can only have the "same difference" if you are comparing two groups of items or two subtraction problems.
For example, a red car and a green car might have the same difference as a red truck and a green truck. Two items, however, cannot have the "same difference."

Quote:It will be $10 just like the GvE pack, and the valkyrie pack, I'd bet a tenner on it. Exact same situation.Originally Posted by Catharctic
I think $5 is fair considering the other stuff that won't be included:
- The original game(s)
- 30 Days of Game Time

Quote:Then you pay for both the preorder and the complete collection once it is released. It's what I would've done if the retail version of the complete collection would be available around these parts. That's the way it is. It's a shrewd marketing trick, but it doesn't even reach a one on my 'evil marketeers' scale. There's also no need to blame the devs for this, they didn't have a say in it.Originally Posted by Dr_Darkspeed
But that doesn't include the pre-purchase access to the powersets. So how much is it if you want that, plus everything included in the 'Complete' collection (including the months gametime)?
It's all pretty clear in the opening post. I really don't get why people are having such trouble understanding all this. That OP is one of the most clear news posts they've ever written imo ... -
Bah, I would've gotten the preorder AND the boxed edition. But since there apparently is no boxed edition for the poor red-headed stepchildren, I haven't decided on what I'm going to get yet, but it'll only be one of them.

Quote:Yea, then finally all those 'Devs hate villains' whiners wont complain anymore! right? right?Originally Posted by Schismatrix
Just pad the villain content with more missions, hunts and defeat-alls. Problem solved.

Quote:Yea, that random recipe that was crap 7/10 times meant something alright ...Originally Posted by The_Larker
Used to speed run it with a stalker w/tp and a /rad corr.Of course this was back in a the day when rewards meant something.

Quote:Then you also have the people who just don't want to 'work' in a game, and are perfectly happy making due with what they rake in during 'normal' game play.Originally Posted by Perfect_Pain
Look, this topic is old.
There's a bunch of people who don't want to work for drops/money in this game and think it should be handed to them on a silver platter.
Then, there is a bunch of people who work for their drops and their ingame currency.
That is how it is. There is no discussion beyond that.
But otherwise, yes. -
I like Nemesis ... He's the Archvillain, all the other wannabe's are just toys to him, as shown in Viridian's arc.

A set similar to this one is, togheter with broad swords for brutes, the first one on my wish list. -
My 3 pet peaves that I'd like to see getting some attention:
-3 villainous villain strik forces. 1 for the each existing level gap: 10-15, 30-35 and 40-45.
- Makeover of the old CoH contacts. Ditch all the excess filler missions, or a least make it so that you get those AFTER the contact's storyarc. Make them give out their phone numbers sooner. Ditch all the excess filler missions inside the actual arcs, really, 3 go kill 10 Freaks missions in a row spread over 2 different zones is just dumb. Make 'go visit security chief so and so' type mission optional.
-New textures on old costume pieces and enemies. The difference between the new and old is glaringly obvious.
After this just more content, more arcs and TF/SF and maybe a few small raids (Like the Mothership raid or Lord Winter's realm). But I'm assuming this last bit is all coming with GR. -
Bah, I was sick and went to bed real early so I missed it
Congratulations on a job well done though! -
Lousy Day gets my vote. That piece is just beautiful.
Honourable mention for Battlewraith's work though.
I also really like the stylish, simplicity of Pyronympho's effort.
And if Happy Dan's Ms Liberty is a 'hurried sketch' I can't wait to see his entrance for next month when he does put some effort in it. -
Quote:So you had to resort to settling for a synonym so obscure you hardly found any reference to it on the internet. And this you find an indication that good names aren't running out?Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Good character names are running out, huh?
I actually agree with you up to a point, and with the exception of a few dissapointing setbacks I have always gotten the name I wanted for my characters. But that annecdote of yours really doesn't help the point you're trying to make...
Also XNameX and N A M E just are horrendous ways of naming your character, seriously ... -

The Devs obviously disagree with your take on the Shivans.
Given what you have to do to get one and all...
But really, what are you saying? That a team 8 buffed up night widows wouldn't be OP? Use them in gladiator matches, they demolish everything you pit against them. -
Quote:Those zones aren't real, you know? They don't actually take up any 'space'. All bits and bytes.Originally Posted by Perfect_Pain
I just sat in Skyway on one of my 50s on Virtue... and no one was/is there.
Maybe 2 or 3 people... Between the hours of 8Pm EST and 11Pm EST...
A few more came in and out for the TF...
But have you seen HOW MUCH space Skyway is? It is a complete waste of space other than the TF and the badges... They could have a freak electrical storm happen and completely take out 99% of that zone and no one would care, because NO ONE ever goes there...
Just thought I'd mention it. -
I like this idea, but I think it has potential to be OP. Especially now pets can travel through zones.
Freak tanks, Shivans, Night Widows, Longbow Wardens, ... are all quite strong npcs, especially when buffed and healed by players. Now have 8 of them on a full team.
So some restrictions should be in order. e.g.: mak them unbuffable, put them on a short timer, ...
(On a note: I personally feel the Summon Shivan temp power is rediculously overpowered and wouldn't mind seeing it removed from the game.) -
Quote:Wow, now look who's grumpyOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Personally, as far as I'm concerned, if I were on the fence like you describe, a new event would do nothing but chase me off. I hate events, I hate my game being ever so slightly interrupted, and if I'm on the verge, it's the little things that would get me to go. For instance, I got sick of the Winter Lord spam during the Winter event. I came into the event not caring about Winter Lords, and even though I tried to just not pay it any heed, by the end of the first day, I was already shouting "I don't care about your damn Winter Lords! Go to hell!" to myself. I imagine it would have outright SUCKED if I needed people for anything, seen as how they were all compulsively fighting giant snow men or skiing, but I was lucky enough to hate other people and keep to myself.
Personally I'd love to see more permanent mini-raid like events like the Lord Winter event in the game. -

I've been playing this game for 42 months without really taking a break (I went throug a slow period last october-november though) and this game still hasn't gotten stale to me.
Maybe it helps that I'm not so hung up on this one game that I MUST play, like some people here seem to be. Inbetween CoX sessions I fill my game time with EVE Online and online matches of FEAR and single player games. The past months these have been Fallout 3, Dragon Age: Origins, a replay of Mass Effect to set up a nice safe game to start Mass Effect 2 of and now I'm going for some more Dragon Age, FEAR2 and Dead Space.
Relax, it's just a game. It's supposed to be fun.
