Please note that we're going to be popping up a few tutorial pages about vehicles, and we're going to be porting everyone back to Ren Center so that that doesn't distract you if you respawn during combat.
Vehicles system update!
-Learn more about how to customize your vehicles
-Earn vehicle MODs in the "Assault on UNTIL Sky Command" mission

-Camera is repositioned when vehicle is activated to improve line of sight/visibility

Is the PFF regen buff not going through or was that bit left out by accident from the release notes?
From the previous PTS build:
"There is only one way to support a PFF tank: Send Cyrone lots of money weekly... because he's the only one to successfully be a true PFF Tank." - chuckwolf
Please stop with the pay to win ideology you all have adopted.
Legion gear, you have to pay to get it, and even then it is a chance.
Now top-tier tanks, well tanks in general, but especially the top tier ones. Again, you have to pay and gamble to get them. Not everyone is made of money and while I understand the game needs revenue for improvements and maintence, this is going to end up driving off potential and current subscribers.
Not even WoW has adopted this. They have stuff you can buy sure, but it in no way affects the performance of your character. So I'm asking you, the devs of Cryptic, to rethink this dangerous road you've started on before it blows up in your face.
What, exactly, are you paying to win? PvP isn't a terribly big part of this game; there are no special rewards for finishing missions faster; heck, even the open-world stuff seems to give rewards based on random chance rather than how you ranked. What's to "win"?
- David Brin, "Those Eyes"

You've clearly missed the point then. In that case let me simplify it for you.
Noone should *have* to pay to get the high-end things. It should be a fair chance for everyone, not just those that can shell out x amount of dollars. Before the legion gear, even silvers could get the Silver Champ gear at no rl cost to them outside of time to get the recogs needed.
Like I said, it's becoming pay to win, and I'm not liking it.
And regardless, your use of "pay to win" remains wrong.
Wait? Whaaaa..?
The answer to this same old argument is pay to win is an expression meaning being able to pay real money for an ingame advantage.
"Is it better to be feared or respected? I say, is it too much to ask for both?" -Tony Stark

Coming Soon(TM): Power Serum - Do 50% more damage for 3 minutes. ONLY 100 Zen each.
C'mon, you know I'm right.
People are broken. - Lum the Mad
[Heroic Might] comes in packs of 4 and 10, actually.
there is a problem with Nanobot Swarm power. It is stated there that at rank 1 it reduces the cooldown time on powers by 17seconds but I notice that th power only reduce cooldown time by 14 seconds.
Is it possible for CRYPTIC to increase the damage and resistance for Miniaturixation Drive with Gizmo as advantage? Looking huge is a cooll power but it really does not give any meaningful bonus in combat besides getting gigantic size.
At the moment yes, waiting on clarification on what the situation will be after the patch.
We were told they werent going anywhere anytime soon when they were added, now we are getting new lockboxes, but no word if its in addtion or replacing.
If replacing then legion gear will no longer be available - something we should have been informed of in advance.
Yay for rec cen teleport! I bet you Defender's voice will be hoarse from trying to ask every single hero if they have a moment
I can't wait to play this on LIVE! (Must do my essay first >_>)
Pleeease tell me the PFF shield regeneration buff has been missed out here by accident and it's making it live today
I like these changes, I have a question though. Will characters with these powers get a free respec token or will our pistols be "reloaded" for us automatically?
I like the sound of this, will they scale with char level? i.e. lvl 35-40 get rank 5+ Mods? Or will they still be rank 3-4 mods?
Thanks for the release notes!

LOL. Good point, forgot about those. :redface:
People are broken. - Lum the Mad
That's the thing I really don't understand. If they let me purchase what I want, esp. for the legacy devices, I would be a happy and spending real money customer.
But what they've implemented in their unbelievable greed and willingness to F'over their players simply leaves me an unhappy and spending nothing customer.
Strange business model.
People are broken. - Lum the Mad
Farming is not a bad issue to many and alot of people would prouply enjoy farming. So trail can offer this insight to them. Because in the long run these boxes and crap aint the best idea in the long run. Now i understand why their doing them. But also with the gear we should be able to get it. Without the chest and so forth just be farming them. But make the drop pretty low maybe?
I have a question is the teleport to the ren centre going to happen to every toon you log into or just the first on your account. I only need to read the tutorial pop ups once not on every character.

If you would do something about this then the whole system would have my blessing.

Well.. I mean, there's one.
But that's a start... right?
Who's with me?
right?
awww..

This message brought to you by the superhero:
All available action figures, check.
Hit the global cap, check.
All lore and event perks done, check.
All 1K mob perks done, check.
All nemesis mob perks done, check.
Break 20,000 perk points, check.
Complete all 5K perk points, stay tuned!
Come see me on steam (be friends, drink fine wines, clink glasses and KILL STUFF ONLINE!)
If less people would freeload from the game.. a lot more of this content would go back to "free for gold".
Butt.. hey.
That's not going to happen.
Put the word "free" on something and people gravitate to it. Maybe just to figure out where the line of 'free' ends and the line of 'pay' begins.
And yes, having lots of 3, 6, 12 month subs and even LTS subscriptions helps a business know their income for those forseeable months. If they don't know what they'll be getting month to month.. it's hard to say, hey.. here's this content we made. Enjoy it for free for subbing.

Those better be flagged as common/white grade loot or it's going to be a HUGE annoyance. Again. Just like those Takofanes Caches.
Yay! \o/
This is good, but I would have prefered the Auction House GUI get addressed first. It's in sore need of an update & simplification with the ability to search for specific stats or sort in descending order of price.
Good but I'm afraid this will again break several missions/quests.
Yay!
12% critical chance / 12% severity was what it was on the PTS, base. Scaled up when HP goes down seems inverted though, IMHO would make more sense to be highest scaled when you're at 100% HP. So much smarter having it as an active offense, the on-next-hit was long broken. Thank you!
This should make force users happy, but what about it's regen rate?
This will make archers VERY happy, a slight buff to their best powers.
I'm going to love this on my regen tank! (Silverspar too I'd imagine)
Wonderful! Dual pistols is finally getting an upgrade!
Meh, teddy bears.
This will help out Glacier archetypes a lot. Yay!
This will REALLY help out any might tanks, Behemoth archetypes of freeforms using this power to hold agro. Big yay!!!
Fire has long needed a buff, but this wasn't it. What was needed was:
YES!!! Thank you for listening! *hugs*
Consolidate the currencies! (Please!)
Does your Champion have a theme song? (share it!)
Got a funny in-game screenshot? (share it!)
Please fix the Overdrive energy unlock! (Should help promote thematic build diversity!)
Someone tell me they know the prototype vehicles aren't getting the nerf I saw on the PTS?
Or that it's optional?
I'd rather dump all the weapons, all the functions of the jets we have and keep the SPEED, rather than go to no speed at all and only 2 mod slots.
But that's me...

And.. where do you see this "super flight"?
The new vehicles are so slow it feels like you need to get out and push. At BEST I've seen them go between R2/R3 flight speed but I didn't really play with it beyond putting R3 speed mods in them (two of them) which give the highest speed boost out of the mods I could find.
Soo.. where is this superflight?
Just asking.

The only ones that persistently complain about things in the game that aren't free are the silver account users. Not to be generalizing, but that's typically the case.
SUBSCRIBE.. get other people to subscribe.
And you'll start seeing these types of bennies pushed to the subscribers. We used to get content like this (BUG FREE EVEN) before F2P and didn't have to pay for it beyond our normal sub fees.

They didn't go anywhere for awhile. They went way longer than the halloween event.
The way this has been handled in the past:
Items like stockings, anniversary boxes, nighthawk belts, drifter salvage boxes, earth aura grab bags, halloween grab bags, etc etc etc.. all have maintained their "content" permanently after an event has expired.
I would assume this will be the same. Given the fact that they are using the same keys, I think that's the point. As more and more different types of boxes are introduced with different content in them, we'll have much more flexibility of what to use our keys for.

You're using that wrong. We're not talking about "everything free" we're talking about selling power.
The game. Regardless of the lack of a "competitiion based advantage," for lack of a better term, this is the same reason that games, and gamers, generally frown on buying a power leveled and fully geared max level character. You can try and frame the issue in any way you like, but in the end, they're selling power.
Don't sell power.
Skip to 5:20 if you're impatient.
Not sure why you think "freeloading" impacts whats free for gold. The only reason I've actually spent any money on this game is the sheer fact that it's F2P. The reason I've stopped is the constant flood of bugs and not seeing a new zone in the entire year I've been here, and the introduction of lockboxes and now this focus on vehicles and trying to monetize them in a game about superheroes.
You really can't stand on subs for justification for lack of content - before this game was F2P, I'm pretty sure I've heard the same complaints about bugs and lack of content were rampant then.
Wow - I never expected that little video to be so damn logical.
Id hardly call 8 days a while, the impression given by TT was it was a permenent fixture, here until maybe someday it was removed, not here a cple weeks total.
There is a big difference between the removal of all the event vanity gear after the event and the removal of the legion gear, removing the best items in the game, unless they plan on putting them into one of the 10 different currencies they have and keep adding to instead of supporting, maybe new nemesis vendor items...
This applies VERY well. I cannot believe this made so much sense!

Of course, the majority of subscribers had already quit this game. There isn't a lot of them to complain anymore, sure.
I don't know for you, but before i saw a lot of monthly subscribers. Now i just see some Lts (who can't cancel) and silver players. But subscribers who lasts more than 2 or 3 months, not a lot....
This is why they have do a sales a few weeks ago. 3 months for the price of two, hey subs, we don't like you but needs you, come back please, sniff.
And why they has quit or leave again ? (because i can say you that some subs don't like the way of vehicules are introduced in game, the only content cryptic can do but alerts since avril 2012, or november 2011 with whiteout. And AGAIN, the subs must buy these vehicules even if they pays every month for almost no new playable content, or any other content they don't have to pay in store on top of subs. And in lock boxes for top tiers one : LOL)
Why ? Caycepollard gives a good resume. And this will be more clear and comprehensive than my bad english. Read him.
Ps: i'm pretty sure, a day, we will have vehicules R3 mods in lockboxes too.
Or better, R3 mods already chassed in new vehicules, vehicules which will be a 1% reward and the others useless rank1 mod at 75% chance, for 100 zen each try.
Thanks for fixing that very rude post about GentleMan Crush in the Hero Games section! I was about to alert you to it.

__________________________
Not a freaking chance. I subbed for 900 days, not an LTS... monthly. Cause I felt that devs working on a great game deserved to be paid.
Since On Alert I do not feel as though this dev team has earned my money, so my sub was cancelled. Plain and simple.
This is just further example.
People are broken. - Lum the Mad
Conversly, 27 days ago I was a Silver since F2P launched who spent alot on the game, I went gold on another account for a bit, enjoyed it and then went LTS on my Silver account.
I have hope that the game will improve.

Except, the full game is now free to play. It's not like some other F2P game (going F2P next week) that charges you for UI elements like action bars; or to sprint; or so you can even wear/use the high end drops you got.
CO blocks nothing mission content wise at all; doesn't block leveling progress behind a pay gate, etc. How do they make their money, by offering extras that AREN'T needed to progress in the game, but that can make the game easier in some respects. If stuff like that were available for free (like the other free content); they would make any money whatsoever. Also, if they put lacklustere items that were worse then what you could get just by playing the agme; same result, no one would buy anything, and they wouldn't make any money.
It seems any time they add items that somebody really wants, but doesn't feel like they should have to pay for it, the trot out the "OMG! Pay to win..." line.
(BTW you do know you can actually buy Zen on the Questionite Exchange with Questioite you can earn in game; and STILL buy that Tank you'd like without spending a real-world dime; but I guess the fact you have to play the game and it will take more than a single session to earn enough Zen via that route = too hard, or 'pay to win' too.)
