So in other words things will start to happen faster in about 20 to 30 years. 😝 For the record I’m fine with HC’s pace. There are a few folks in this thread and past ones who say they are not.

Also I’m still waiting to hear how we get Hc more resources that won’t cause NCSoft to pull the license. And more resources ARE needed if folks want the devs to move faster (not just on suggestions, but on any large increase in the pace of changes to the game). With the team we have we barely get two large updates a year. I can’t see changes happening any faster than that unless the funding for HC drastically increases.

For the record I could give a rats behind about affirmation or folks loving what I post. I will however forever say that I like or don’t like a suggestion, point out ways to improve it, point out problems with it or offer alternatives. This is a forum. Folks are going to respond to what you post. if you don’t like it just put them in ignore. Also, even if your idea is hated by all who post that does not mean that it may never be implemented. As others have pointed out, the Devs implement things that they like or find interesting all the time. Keep in mind they may take your idea an implement it in a way that is different but fits with the technical needs of the game. Nothing wrong with that. And just because they don’t implement your idea in the next 365 days does not mean they never will.

I think there ARE a few suggestions that folks have agreed with that should eventually make it into the game. My issue has always been with the weird expectation that it should be any faster than the manpower that the dev team has. I’m fine if a suggestion takes 3 years or more to make it into, as I keep a realistic perspective on what resources HC has . . . namely basically none. 18 devs is ridiculously small for a project of this size. But it is what it is unless NCSoft is willing to make this a for profit product again (LOL pipe dream).

We will have to agree to disagree.

*Random meme pic inserted that may or may not be related to the topic at hand*

Slashing the prices of SOs to may 100 inf max each (no matter the level) is something I could get behind. I mean they are SOs. The merits cost reduction maybe. But would have to be done very carefully so as not to have any negative effects on the market or economy. The devs have repeatedly said they consider the Market/IO/crafting system as a part of the game.

Well you CAN actually do this (raises hand) but then you have to play the market/converters equally as much as you play the game/farm. And you have to be prepared to take long breaks for the eventual burnout and play COH in bursts of weeks at a time, while playing other games. (also raises hand) 😛

pretty much my response to folks in game who complain”I came to play a super hero game not a marketer” Me: “okay, great play the game and just use merits” Them: “it’s to sloowwww” Me: *clicks name and adds to ignore* I got no time for folks who choose not to try to solve their own self inflicted problems. mind you that convo above is usually I have told them the various ways to make inf like converters for example.

I often point new players to guides on making merits from level 1, information on the WST, and finally I point them to info on converters. I think for brand new players I think that's at most what they can handle for just starting out playing COH.

As folks pointed out it's not a very practical one the way it's presented. It's fine to suggest anything, it's also fine to say you disagree and point out why. As others have done with this suggestion. Also as others have explained teaching folks how to make inf would be better then giving it away to them.

Then if you want those build you are required to put the time in. IOs/Crafting/Merits and the AH are part of the game.

The OG devs have stated that they intended for the game to eventually have pvp and a crafting/marketing system, even though both did not launch with the game. The bolded is a good point, but again at that point why even bother chasing builds that can take hours to make base don IOs? Just play the game with SOs and keep it moving.

Oh I like playing for FUN. Which is pricesly why I don't use this game's pvp system.

The OG devs explained that getting the whip part of Demon Summoning was a grade A pain in the arse . .. which is why for the life of the game on live they didn't go further with whips. I can image HC would like to do this powerset, but with how many times whips have been suggested and it still hasn't been done . . . I'm going to assume HC has not found it any easier than Paragon Studios to make a whip powerset. But as always hope for the future.

Yeah I think MANY MANY players exaggerate how long it takes and how much time you need to spend on the market. Some folks make it seems like you need to spend hours in the /ah interface to make wealth. You don't.

It's also an MMO. The rules on acquisition of funds in an mmo apply. In fact COH's is pretty much the most lenient in terms of all the other systems in all other mmos for wealth acquisition. *insert tiny violin here* There is also merits, which you can use to fund yourself without ever touching the AH. I've heard folks complain about having to do TFS constantly to earn merits also sooooo. 🙈🙉🙊

As an alternative, maybe a short explanation mission of the UI and where to see your hit points could be added to the game. Give it a 1 merit reward as an incentive for folks to actually complete the mission.

Since I pretty much HATE this in other games that do it (or change my vision in first person or of my third person camera in anyway), a STRONG NO THANKS from me.

This is great! Thread followed.

Oh I know it was from the AMA. I'm saying the way those read are so overpowered that current HC leadership would probably never implement any of those. At least not in the way those read. Regardless of whether they also bring the content for those new slots. lol

I mean yeah. I've heard from multiple people her and on the forums that they hate using the AH for whatever reason . . . And then in the same breath complain that they are poor inf wise and that's why they can't get into the IO system. Ummmmmm . . . lol On a serious note, the Devs have said repeatedly that they consider the AH to be part of the game. It's like refusing to use the Newspaper/Radio and refusing to team, then complaining that you have no way to gain xp further when you run out of missions.

A few other mmos have this as a feature already. I'm always surprised when I come back to COH and find that they have not implemented that feature here.

Yeeeeeah most of these are probably a non starter. Folks already complain about the existing OPness of the current Incarnate Slots. This would not fly under HC. LOL

I'd prefer and exchange rate from threads to whatever new currency. Just a new currency that everyone will have to earn again from zero, would pretty much mean I'm done with any further incarnate slots. The absolute LAST thing this game needs is yet ANOTHER Currency that we have to farm up from 0. It's one of the reasons I have grown to hate the Aether Costume system and simply don't participate in it. It's also one of the large reasons I don't bother with Champions Online now adays except once in a blue moon.
