So, let's recap for 2015 so far: The drop rate for lockbox costumes has dropped down to an absurdly low percentage, ensuring that the costumes are costing the players more money. Cryptic acknowledges that some C-Store costumes are of substandard quality, and decides to 'fix' that by just raising the prices of everything,…

People who are levying a legitimate complaint and criticism against a product are not 'crying'. People pay money for this product, and just because your standards are low and you've deluded yourself into thinking the Devs are your pals doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't have a voice in the matter.
-
Well, when you show new people this game it takes about 20 minutes for them to say something along the lines of "at least they had the decency to make this dumpster fire MMORPG free, let's play something else instead." If CO wants a new playerbase, they'll have to make a decent product. Right now, this game is bad comedy.
-
No. An OVERWHELMING amount of negative feedback is required for something like this. Cryptic is not your homies and your friends. The video game does not have feelings or rights or protection from criticism. This is a BAD idea. Next we'll be able to buy XP and top-tier gear. Powers in a lockbox means that someone will have…
-
I know I'm not the first to say this, but... I'm not sure Champions Online needed this. Seems like the biggest complaint is that there's not enough to do at level 40. Change the tutorial if you like, people are still gonna get bored and leave after they max out in 5 days.
-
I buy the trades. Also, I avoid Marvel's steaming pile of trash. That helps.
-
I watched an insurgent in Iraq pound an RPG into the tube with a rock. Releasing this costume set like this is still the worst idea I've ever seen someone have. Buying it runs close alongside the RPG guy.
-
If they made this set like Meeda's original vision, I'd pay $20.00.
-
That 'Everyone' is off, but a bit more accurate than the 'nothing'. Honestly I was thinking of making a 'vehicle armor' alternate costume that resembled some of the jetbikes, if that ever happened. The character would just 'transform' the bike into a suit of battle armor.
-
The dev team has nothing to work with? Define 'nothing', because where I come from we speak English and this word has a different meaning than what you're implying. The wealth of feedback on these very forums is overall ignored. Past sales of overwhelmingly popular costume sets is overall ignored. Years of experience…
-
I know that for over 2 years [at least] I've been begging for all the costume parts to have a metal/leather/cloth option. Word of advice: Do not presume that we want something a certain way because of other parts. Do not assume that mild clipping is a problem. Do not think that we share a preference for things that even…
-
Dude, are you new here? As I understand it, the difference between 'metal' and 'leather' and 'cloth' is a level of reflection, it's not really a difficult undertaking. It's something they can honestly do easily, we've seen it done a dozen times when they've forgotten. They've already told us 'no', they aren't going to do…
-
I think we've already identified the New Cryptic Costume Standard: "We want your feedback. We're not going to listen to it, or do anything, but we'd like it. Just so we can look at you and say 'no'." "We admit that some of our things are below the standard of quality that you've seen, so we're just going to double the…
-
I just logged into the PTS, very excited to see this costume. I have a strong recommendation... Do not release this into the C-Store. Delete it, and start all over. This looks absolutely awful. There are none of the variety options that Meeda suggested, making the final robot form match NONE of the vehicles that I can…
-
posted in wrong thread, I gotta lay off the drinks.
-
Yeah, it's not letting me in, either. There was a time when these things used to shock me.
-
Rumor has it, Cryptic North's Dev team was sacrificed to the Aztec gods. This is Cryptic's way of letting us know.
-
If you're saying they didn't have the money, I'll proudly divert your focus toward the mountain of vehicles we got since then. I'd even give them credit if they acknowledged the bugs. But, nope. That ain't happened.
-
Hang on, let me show you why this is an inaccurate statement. It took Trailturtle and Radioscience logging in, and within no time at all, they 'found a problem with the prices'. Meanwhile, those things you mentioned? Most of them took YEARS. Years of pointing out problems like those above. Years of ignoring the bugs with…
-
I can equally respond: "Where was the pricing concern when the devs were cranking out worthless costumes, and why is it a concern now when we've been barking about these issues for YEARS in some cases?" You can't sit there with a straight face and say no one has raised hell about the countless, persistent, and flat-out…
-
And let's be fair- Wanna know how this sounds? "We made some real dumpster fires and piss-poor costumes, guys. We still went ahead and sold them to you and ignored a lot of your suggestions. Because of this, we feel like the ones that weren't garbage are worth twice as much! We're not improving things, we're just lowering…
-
I did. By credit card when I paid for a lifetime membership.
-
Ah. Well, good to know. I'll... still never use it. I was hoping these gold costume things would be a bit more 'normal' or at least less comical. But they're free, so I'm not too worked up about it.
-
Trailturtle, I need you to read this and take it to heart. Mind you, this is not me pulling a punch. For the last few months, years in some cases- there have been some bugs that just persist. They are not being fixed. They have not even been addressed in some cases. You and Radio weren't 'wrong' for finding disparity in…
-
Cryptic product not working? That's new.
-
Yeah, I'm not seeing much value in furry parts myself. People keep asking for them, and the fur-fans go rabid over them... so just throw them in lockboxes and make yourself a fortune already. Not sure how the glass slipper is supposed to be cool. I don't play females. Something that isn't my theme is fine, something…
-
It's more like, the obvious problem: "Lower quality costume sets are getting $1.50 off. Decent ones are being doubled in price." The 'middle ground' here isn't $5.00, it's about $7.00. So, the 'medium quality' is more expensive than the original price.
-
Oh, dude. I won't lie. If you did this on GW2 or WoW, you'd be in something that resembles an ISIS video on a beach in Tripoli.
-
Wow. Trailturtle, I love you, man. But right now I feel sorry for you. It's like you're the guy that's had to tell the Fuhrer that Zhukov's troops have captured Berlin. This must be a PR nightmare.
-
Okay, I had to have a smoke and cool my thoughts on this one. Once again, I'm not pulling punches. I'm not being unnecessarily rude, either. As busted as the tailor is right now, your LAST concern should be trying to find a way to raise the prices on costume sets. This wouldn't be a concern if feedback from a long time ago…
-
I would prefer it if cryptic spent the month of March releasing nothing at all, just fixing bugs and making quality of life improvements.
-
For right now, all parts in all materials (leather, metal, and cloth at least).
-
At one point, on live server, the scoundrel coat tail had stretched twice the length of my character's height. So much for testing, if the bugs are just going to go live anyway.
-
I know you think you are special as well, but you do realize that about 2 years ago this game started just giving me back my LTS at a rate of $5 a month since it went into maintenance mode and practically gave away everything but the FF slot. Actually, yes. Let's not assist and trying to improve the product. Complaints or…
-
Okay, I feel like I need to say this one last time because apparently it's being ignored. After this point, if it isn't corrected, I don't feel the need to use the PTS any more. I'm going to be as straightforward as possible, and I am not pulling my punches. The PTS is STILL not allowing us to test costumes we've already…
-
The circus costs money, and the freakshow here is free.
-
We gonna see this tomorrow? EDIT: Just tinkered with this set. Eyepiece and mouthpiece are okay. Not my style, but not a bad design. I'm sure some folks will come up with some interesting things. Personally, the eyepiece could have been better if it wasn't a box planted against your forehead, and was some other kind of…
-
So, the last few times: Awesome Pharaoh Costume set: Gamble Box. Awesome Krampus Costume set: Gamble Box. Awesome Skeleton Costume set: Gamble Box. Awesome Scoundrel Costume set: Gamble Box. Mediocre Anime and Scientist costume: C-store After this, if there's the same disparity between the 'gamble' and the 'purchase' I'm…
-
Yeah, but let's be honest... Pharoah Lockbox. Skeleton Lockbox. Anime for sale. Krampus Lockbox. As I see it, brother- they've released one costume set out of that batch and the rest were gambles. And I must be fair- it's a slump from the previous Psi Dragon and Holoforce costumes. Look at the difference in pieces and…
-
I hate to be mister negative here, but I'm not really impressed. It's not my thing, but hopefully it's incomplete- i'd like to be able to use it. I can't scroll through the tailor and see how we're really lacking in things to make a mad scientist. C'mon guys, you got a ton of submissions to work with for costume ideas and…
-
So, what are the odds of getting to making all the costume pieces in all material options- at least metal, leather, and cloth?
-
You know, I used to think so, too. But the amount of BAAWWWW you read out there, like losing CoX is worse than 9/11? Overrated. But for all its good ideas, it was past its time. CO should have rivaled it in every way, but they rushed the product and instead we got a 'prettier' game with a fraction of the worthwhile…
-
What's sad is that I have that fear, every time I see a game with some good ideas [CO's costume creator, TSW's ability decks, Allods' NPC-for-hire to do dungeons, SWToR's story, etc.] and those features will never be seen again in another MMORPG. I've yet to see character creation that can compete with CO. Eh, that seems…
-
I'm sorry, at what point in anything did I call it a 'scam'? I said that it didn't seem like a sound investment, based on the lack of developer experience and clearly defined product. It seemed like the prhase 'spiritual successor to our beloved City of Heroes' was used more than phrases I needed to see. I kinda liked CoX…
-
So, basically the game didn't meet it's kickstarter, or advertise in anything YOU have read. I actually saw it featured in Massively and one other publication featured on these very forums. You'll have to excuse me, I don't work for Valiance and I'm not 'in the know' on their marketing strategy. However, let's just say…
-
Also, I don't think they've got a new KS. If they did, I'd drop some money into it after I saw some new stuff. I have heard rumor (not from them) that the initial KS was for materials and there may be another down the road.
-
1- Calling me dead, or a 'fat basement dwelling nerd' isn't 'news', that's a privileged kid's poor attempt to inject Social Justice Issues into gaming journalism- especially from one that was proven to be, beyond all doubt, lacking in honesty and embracing their conflicts of interest. And their response to being challenged…
-
Once again, I saw ideas and nothing solid. I know it sounds cruel, but I don't just throw my hard-earned money at anything unless I think it's a sound investment. I saw a team of developers with no real experience, I didn't see much in the way of a plan, I just saw an appeal to CoX players. It seemed shaky to me, and if I…
