    Up until now Costume pieces and emotes were part of the normal content we have added now and again.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, like the Justice and Sinister cost- ...no, wait. Oh, how about those special Arachnos hel-....nope. Arachnos capes! ....wait, still no....

    To me.. it seems like a huge rip off.

    $10 for some costumes that I doubt I'll ever use and four lowly emotes? No powers? No badge? $10 for something that I expect to see in most updates?

    HUGE rip-off.

    You seem to have your terminology comfused. Where you said "huge rip-off", you should have said "package I'm not interested in". Just because you don't find it useful doesn't mean it's a rip-off. Those of us who like it will buy it. If you don't, then don't buy it. No rip-off there.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I'd still call it a huge rip-off. I have absoloutely 0% interest in every in the pack except the tuxedo, which I really want. For me, it's $10 for a single costume piece, a.k.a. huge rip-off.

    I sincerely hope NCSoft doesn't make this costume pack thing a new habit.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    "Rip-off" implies that they're promising more than they're delivering for the price. If it's worth it to you, buy it. If not, don't. That's what it comes down to. There is no "rip-off" here.

    plus revamps to Grobb (Gukta), Cazic, Splitpaw, Veeshan's Peak and probably others I'm forgetting.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Can't really count those as revamps, IMO. Swapping out the mobs doesn't really equate to a revamp like Faultline's revamp here.

    In fact, I don't know of a single game where anything other than a very minor addition/upgrade to the game is given away, except CoH.

    Asheron's Call 1. Free content updates every single month like clockwork.

    Which was usually in the form of a handful of quests... Quantity they had, but quality, not so much.

    Instead of giving the playerbase, which helps pay them regulerly, a gift they decided to charge additional.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    ... Did they NOT just *give* us the Enforcer and Jester sets as a gift?! For free?!! SHEEEEESH!

    Someone is being "greedy pure and simple"; not so sure its NCSoft.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I agree they did just give us those for free. However, if this is succesful then what I am afraid of is that the next time they want to add a jester set or an enforcer set they will put it in a $10 box and sell it to us.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    As I've said, this isn't the first time we've seen "goody packs" and they haven't yet slacked off on the freebies because of them. They're historically rare and very optional and I see absolutely no reason to believe that they're changing that with this one.
  7. [ QUOTE ]
    Content like this, costume pieces and emotes, USED to be simply part of normal updates. But now, with NC Soft in charge, they're starting to "offer" packages with very little content for an extra fee.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I've seen no indication that we won't still be getting costumes and emotes in free updates. These are just special event extras. You're being paranoid. The Justice/Sinister sets didn't indicate that we'd stop getting plenty of free costumes, why the hell do you think this would?

    I'm shocked at the number of people who have nothing better to do then come to Freedom boards and lecture it's players. If you don't play on Freedom then GTFO.

    It's a result of idiot fanboys with nothing better to do than check dev digest and follow rednames around brown nosing 24-7

    Wow. What are you, 8? How witty and original you are...

    Thanks for proving my point, though.

    It's a result of a red post drawing people's attention here and when we get here, we see a bunch of children throwing a temper-tantrum over not being able to get instant access to their toys...

    I lol at the fast that all the hicksvilles on CoX are coming to the New York City of Cox, trying to tell us how do live. Go back to your sandbox lil children. This plane ain't for the feint of heart.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    What about those of us not from a "hickville" server......?

    I find it ironic that one of the ones throwing a tantrum over a game is calling other people "children"....
  12. [ QUOTE ]
    But pretty much all of you non-Freedomites that posted here don't get it. You have this one chance a year (God HELP us if they do another double XP weekend like this!) to kick Freedom in the 'nads while we're down, and the most despicable of you took to it with fervor.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Oh, drop the smegging persecution complex, emo boy.

    how bout goin back to your own forum boards--- we don't want you here-- we are crowded enough-- cant ya tell?

    seriously guys- give it a rest-- we have a right to be ticked- period. well -- they do-- i can't log in anyways...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    A right, sure. Not that it'll do any good. Or, yanno, not look whiney.

    Edit: To be clear, I can understand its frustrating. But, really, I never saw a GAME as being something to be so emotionally invested in as to pitch such fits over... Locked out of my server? I'd go play around on another server for a bit. Or find another game to play for a while. No big. It's a game. A hobby. Something to entertain myself with. That's it.
  14. [ QUOTE ]
    Then they lowered the tolerance on the fly (which is the part I didn't like)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Because the server wasn't handling it. What the smeg did you expect them to do?
  15. [ QUOTE ]
    I have been trying to play for 4 hours now , checking every 30 min or so, this is outrageous.freedom should get its own double xp weekend, since this one has been ruined for me and my friends.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    And what makes you think the exact same smegging thing wouldn't happen? Freedom is crowded because it's double xp and a lot of people have characters on Freedom. If Freedom got its own 2xp independent, there'd still be just as many people with characters on Freedom flooding into it. Think, McFly, think.

    So why DO YOU CONTINUE TO ALLOW SERVER TRANSFERS TO FREEDOM?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This is a "damned if they do, damned if they don't" situation. People begged and pleaded for ages for server transfers. They wanted to transfer off of what they viewed as "dead" servers to the populated one(s): Freedom and Virtue. Now comes an event that draws more people logging in for longer periods than normal by far, and they've not only exceeded the old server capacities but they've hit the NEW server capacities.

    If they'd put in the transfer but locked even just Freedom from accepting transfers, people would have screamed just as much as they're screaming now that they've overloaded it.

    If you don't want to PvP, then don't. But the OPs solution fixes many of the current problems, will keep a heavy portion of people who already PvP, and will attract others who are curious about PvP, the zones, and RP. So regardless if they are going to PvP in the zones or PvE or whatever, there will actually be more people in the zones.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    And it will drive people who are disgusted with PvP in general away from the game. If people aren't PvPing in PvP zones, it's not because they don't see enough of it out on the streets. PvP in PvE zones will accomplish absolutely nothing other than irritating the hardcore non-PvPers.

    This mental segregation is foolish.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No, it's not. And I'd thank you not to so offhandedly dismiss my opinion with insults. It's not foolish. In fact, it's one of the major philosophies in this game when it comes to PvP. PvEers who don't like PvP at all should not ever even have to see it. They should be able to go about their business and not have to confront more than the most basic indications that it even exists in this game.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Unfortunately, it's exactly these type of people that are a large part of the problem.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    And? If someone doesn't want to PvP, that's their choice. Get over it. Let them do what they want and you do what you want. I have no interest in PvP. I don't need incentives dangled in front of me, it won't make any difference. I don't need it waved in front of my face, that will only annoy me. And I -DEFINITELY- don't need the hostility in /broadcast that is almost always present where PvP is present.

    ...because NCSoft would buy and give new facilities to the dev team of a game that's going down...
