We... already have one of these things- you know what? Nevermind. I give up.
-
Another costume in a lockbox? Thanks. /sarcasm.
-
Just a bit of critique for this set: Primarily- Look, you guys need to sit down and figure out 'categories'. The 'shirt' doesn't work with regular arms, it's a 'robot arms' piece. Which leads me to my second problem. You guys need to figure out 'scales' on robotic arms. This is beyond awful, the shoulders are nothing like…
-
If you're offended because I think something you like sucks, then perhaps that thing has too much a prominent role in your life and you should seek help from a professional. I won't 'leave it alone'. I don't like it, it has no feelings, it is not a person. However, you can rest easy knowing I won't derail the threat any…
-
In all honesty, I find your statement to be completely understandable and agree wholeheartedly. I, like you, can avoid using a costume pieces. However, I think fundamentally at the core of CO is a lack of care for the source material. To be 100% honest, I do not favor the Champions sourcebooks. I did enjoy some of it, but…
-
I am not asking for this game to be 'grim'. I am asking for the writing to be taken a bit more seriously. If you think 'grim' and 'silly' are the only two things something can be, you need to stop watching Anime trash. You'll have to pardon me if I'd like to get my superhero kick in something that doesn't seem like a…
-
I'm fine with the test, but the only 'grim' part of this game is immediately followed by a mission that is basically 'go find me a sammich'. I'm not kidding. A bit more 'serious', a bit less 'silly' would do this game well. I'd like a superhero game, not so much a parody. Just a personal preference. I'm hoping we do see…
-
I'm glad you're seeing the trend toward bad comedy in this game. It's practically the cancer of CO.
-
That is a positive note. Hopefully, costume parts we'll be buying and not gambling for.
-
A floaty-ring is my reward for a month? Yeah, and you wonder why people think CO's writing and theme is an armpit noise joke. Gonna just not get this.
-
At this point I'm certain that the PWE overlords don't care what the theme is. These days, pitching an MMORPG as 'a superhero MMO' or 'A sci-fi MMO' is going to be answered with a 'so what?' Theme appeals to a lot of people, but it's certainly not something that's going to EXCLUDE a ton of people. You can't sit and…
-
At this point, I can't help but wonder- would it be wise for Cryptic to... make a 'Champions 2'?
-
And that's fine, personally if they said "Hey, the higher ups wanted this to happen because it brought revenue up in other games", I'd say 'Okay, fine. Give us the option to turn it off at least." Oh, I get the 'we need money' thing. Here's the problem. 1- When you have no endgame, a lot people don't stick around past max…
-
You did fine for that. In truth, I want this game to go back to microtransactions, and I HATE those in other games. I'm not particularly fond of the 'new shinies' being bundled up in a gamble. You addressed that fine, I'm glad you agree. I want them to address why it was STILL implemented despite the overwhelmingly…
-
I'll be as polite as possible with you: 1- I'm tired of gambling for costumes. I'd like to see more in the C-Store. 2- The question was not asked of you. It was asked of the Cryptic Development team. You are not a part of that team, your opinion on the matter is not what I wanted. I wanted a response from a developer. Let…
-
A bigger budget? Nah, it'll further encourage more lockbox-exclusive stuff and the C-store will become an antique.
-
Would I be out of line for asking why this was implemented, despite the overwhelmingly negative feedback? Don't think we're trying to control you, but this was a feature that not only wasn't asked for, I didn't see a single person that thought it was a good idea. It's not God-awful. I'll admit, but it's not in any way…
-
The bird isn't really... spectacular. I mean, I'd prefer a few more items than one piece.
-
Ghost material looks spiffy. Let's see more of that.
-
In comparison to previous lockbox awards, this bird is a joke. Please just slap this thing in the Ravenswood costume and take your time to give us something worthwhile. You cannot convince me this was planned, it seems like a last minute idea that was snatched out of the costume. After a recycled emote, I'm honestly not…
-
Not particularly thrilled about anything in the lockboxes. Of course, I like the look of the vehicle and anyone who isn't thinking of ZZ Top is a heathen that needs to have their nose full of poots.
-
I would feel a lot better about the callouts if a player using /hide were not broadcasted.
-
Having weighted parts opens up things like chains, straps, ammo belts, etc. Is this possible? Also, at some point the 'weight' of some hanging parts (Persian Belt comes to mind) needs to be engaged. A squirrel fart sends that thing into a whipping fury.
-
Best use of Spider-Mobile was in Old Man Logan. Best use for Marvel Comics is a coaster on the coffee table, they should stick to movies.
-
Is it possible to make a new category called 'shoulder accessory'? It'd be a pretty nifty thing, you could put things like these Ravens, parrots, a monkey, a shoulder cannon, missile launcher, etc. on there.
-
Stay tuned for Cryptic's MAD HAX: FURRY ROAD
-
Yeah, if this is true... it's kind of lazy, to be honest. I'd honestly rather get an IOU and wait on something better. The last thing we got was pretty sick, this is just... kinda disappointing, really.
-
Fortunately, there's been a plan to downsize the amount of traffic from the lockboxes, so it only shows vehicles and uses character names. That's better than before, considerably... but I'm not sure what the 1% chance on those things is going to do to my chatbox, but hopefully we'll have them listening to us if it's too…
-
While we are on the topic of the PTS costumes: It would be far more beneficial to fix the problem where all of our costumes we have unlocked are on the PTS. As it stands now, it appears that what is available is either pre- On Alert or the very basic costumes. This causes a problem as most of us have acquired many, many…
-
Brou, do you even lift?
-
No, I'd say it's pretty clear. You were more than willing to let this hit live to see if it went well. Well... that's your prerogative, but fortunately the outrage has spoken and the powers that be have seen fit to make something of a compromise. Sorry, but I firmly believe that once something goes live, it's a little too…
-
It's a nice effort that you listened, but I'm pretty sure that even the vehicle spam is too much. Can you just put this in Zone or Trade channels?
-
People unsatisfied with a subscription to a product are well within their rights to express their dissatisfaction with said product, cancel their subscription, and use their money as they choose. I'm not sure how this is 'rage mode', if so- I recently went into 'rage mode' when I canceled my subscription to Time Warner…
-
No one was in rage mode. If I were in rage mode, the game would be uninstalled and I would go chop wood or work out or something. I'm more concerned about people in defensive mode, honestly. Positive reinforcement for negative decisions is not productive for anyone. I still think you're failing to grasp the 'once it goes…
-
You're right, we didn't know you were against it until you started backpedaling and were called out. All you've done so far is snap at people who've provided extremely negative feedback. It's only reasonable to assume you were just another rabid fanboy that gobbles up every table-scrap thrown our way. But hey, it might not…
-
You're right. They're not 'ignoring our feedback', they've heard it.... they're flat-out telling us to go f--k ourselves, because no matter how much we hate it they're going to do it anyway. That's not really the same thing, it's almost worse. I don't expect everyone to be on board, I stated that clearly. But, hey- what…
-
If the bugged costume and the lockbox notifications go live, I propose an idea: Our feedback is ignored, on these very important matters, it would seem. It's almost as if the Public Test Server is serving no purpose. So, my idea is the cease all feedback from the PTS. No matter what they put up, don't put feedback. Even if…
-
No, it's not that the game makes me suffer or people make me suffer. I go through periods of time where I don't want to interact with people and I get annoyed easily. I will sometimes go tailor in the game, go melt faces off random low-level mobs repeatedly, or just swing around between buildings or bounce down the…
-
Oh, even ignored persons? OK, so because of this idiotic spam, let me clarify some things. I'm going to put this into perspective and disclose something about myself here that puts me at risk, makes me uncomfortable, and is otherwise something I don't share with people. There are people in this game that I have on ignore…
-
At this point, if I wasn't a lifetimer... I'd be content to scoot around with a free AT. No way ideas like this would secure my subscription. This game has way too man bugs and broken features to justify Lockbox spam and gamble-powers. Here, have some ideas: Make new powersets. Honestly, I'd rather pay for an entire…
-
Well, there you have it folks, the future of the game.
-
Sir, am I to believe that a PTS with ~30 people on it at most is going to generate more lockbox spam than it will during peak hours? No one wants this. I have yet to see one person that thinks this is cool. It is bad. Please, do not put any more spam garbage in my chat box. DO NOT WANT. No. None of their business. I…
-
I'll be honest with you, Cryptic guy I haven't seen before. Clever wording here. 'Alternate' Ultimate power, as if it is the same as another and offers no advantages. 'Better Value' to people who invest in lockboxes, as if it's not gambling to win an OP Kill-button. Also, 'Mid-Range' means nothing when 39 of 40 bucks lands…
-
I keep trying to make it clear, being okay with this "Right Now" or "Until I see how bad it is" means that, at the point it IS implimented, it will be too late. It will be done, it will happen, and all we will be able to do is sit and say how bad it is. Nothing we can do will change it. And it will happen again, or if not-…
-
If you can't decipher the difference between an exagerrated example of imagery and a 'tantrum', then perhaps you should pause for a moment. Sorry, this is how it works. It's a test, if successful the practice will continue. It's how it works, and I've enough business experience and businessmen in the family to understand…
-
Right now, some guy at PWE is wringing his hands and looking forward to the Zen purchases and data from this next lockbox. He's licking his yellow teeth and the corner of his smile- because he did this before. He did this when entire costumes were one item in a lockbox. He did this when the drop rate of said costumes…
-
Yes. I would. I'd buy it from the C-Store, not from some gamble bag. I'm standing more on principle, I don't care if they're 1G each, 100000G each, or players are giving them out for sweaty high-fives. I can handle gambling for a cosmetic item. It's a shiny little funsie, nothing that effects the gameplay. I don't like the…
-
I can handle paying for something outright. I cannot abide gambling for it. Then again, what can one expect? Texas might be big enough to bury the carcasses of Asian MMORPG's with the gamble-2-win model of revenue. Champions Online: It's like watching a clown that isn't funny die from dysentery.
-
You're right, I don't pay to tell the company what they should put in. Considering the way feedback works, I'm pretty sure even if I fed Cryptic $100 bills through a firehose, they'd reply with 'we have no plans to change it' or 'working as intended'. You know what I DO have the capacity to do? Keep my money. Not spend it.…
-
I'll be 100% fair- if they created a new AT with at least 5 new powers it unlocked, or at least some re-animations of other powers? I'd pay for that. But I'm not going to gamble on a nuke-power that's apparently quite OP. Then again, I suppose it doesn't matter. What would I do with new powers? Oh, right, the same crap I…
