Im speechless that the idea of needing to finish a story arc to get a costume set alienates people instead of bringing them together. Must they only be able to role play what they want in thier minds and the idea of any in game boundary is crossing a line? In that case, they don't want a coh to be a mmorpg...

Because a costume part gains significance when is ab unlockable, and that makes you stand out as someone who shown commitment to, good example, helping the vanguard. Not everyone role plays the same. Some role play in the confines of the game and when they help a faction, getting the costume peices means something because now they can use that item and without putting it in the bio, Everyone that sees them with the item automatically Knows what they achieved Just like how some one in thier role play says that they got thier sword from doing blank, except in the confines of the game, I actually did was awarded the sword from helping the vanguard push back against the rikti.

I have. I used to think this community had hope and wanted to see the game grow as best it could, not regress into a free hero based IMVU wannabe for chatting and costume contests. Consider my mind changed.

Consider my least extreme suggestion was a %30 drop chance and my most extreme was just completing a story arc and only for 10 items out of 1000... they must hate the idea of playing the game. If someone dosent have the free time or drive to spend 10 minutes to 40 minutes to earn something they want... I just... wow. Are you really just playing the game expecting it to be gone tomorrow and that you don't have time to not have things instantly? Is the common view that negative? Is this game so inferior to DAoC or EQ that you can't imagine it continuing similar to how those do even though they don't get new players except maybe those that heard stories? If the dev's are as negatively close minded as the people I've seen here this whole thing is doomed to fail, and not just because of the points you brought up. If you expect to fail, then you'll fail.

The game population will fade away into what icon costume has unless content is added and challenges along with it. Unlockable costumes are one of those challenges. Im sorry, but your ideal 'game' isn't one that will hold most people's attention and we want more people playing, not less.

I would almost be okay with that actually, Or maybe im really tired right now. Either way us discussing it now doesn't really matter. The dev's have their plans, and If things go well more volunteers will join the team and new content will be added, almost like a live game. I'm sure unlockables will be a part of that because it's normal accomplishment/progression that many people enjoy and most people don't go by the 'all or nothing' I've seen today.

I wish for just a little more similarity towards the coh we love for one of the reasons I loved it then. I want an mmorpg, not an avatar chat box since that already exists in Icon.

Then you don't want coh

Right?! Lol

And that's where we disagree. I enjoy it when some costumes had special significance and I want to see some costumes like that return.

I agree with all of that

So then his armor has no special significance.

So if someone wanted to make a lord recluse sucessor with peices of his armor, they should be able to do that from the start and not have to overthrow lord recluse and strip his armor from him?

Okay.... maybe I can go about it this way. What is the sword excalibur? Why is it special?

Figured that. I would be happy with any new content. Would prefer if some was unlockable costumes, but I wouldn't say my way or no way.

I don't even know what those words mean man. Itikar keeps saying that too

I wonder if some would rather have no new content, then have new content with unlockables.

Although if they ever do allow new content to be created by volunteers from the community as is their goal, this status quo your so fond of will change, because some would be volunteers do like unlockables. You shouldn't hold so close-mindedly to view points

If there was absolutely no chance to have other things as mentioned, I could be okay with this. But i would want them to be something everyone could work towards, not something you could only get during one particular time frame and where you had to be the best of the best(although they could have a separate title too)

When the game first came out, they didn't have pvp or city of villains. Should those have not been added because doing so would mean powers and balance would change and therefore status quo would change. They didn't have lvl41-50 and those power pools either, should they not have done that?

So if I don't like it, then i can leave? Talk about inclusion.

I'd say it's the modders right to say. I'd be glad to have new content no matter the form, and would personally do my best to enjoy the contributions.

But future costumes obviously aren't in the game yet, so if a new story arc was added and the reward for completing it was a sword, nothing was taken away from you so you should have no issues.

No, it just shows that variety and options are good and maybe a little bit of restriction is a good thing. Just because some people hate leveling, should we have instant level 50s, or just have multiple ways to level with some being faster than others? Why are you amworried to have to play parts of the game to unlock a few costume peices? Do you not enjoy playing the game?

It is if it's followed by "and it was great"
