You inteend on making a Glacier character which obviously deals with ice and soon and the iceslide feature flight isnt even free...?Thats like making a character to portray superman,and there's no heroflight for him. The one time I tried out a glacier, it was the daughter of an ice-based tech villain who had modified versions of her father's gear. That included his jet pack. Ice slide wasn't needed. The game would have to be 100% free in order to give everyone access to every concept someone has. And then they'd have to be working 24/7 to provide the hundreds of more items for the hundreds of more concepts people have... that would probably break the game because every concept will eventually come down to, "I win all the time!" Please keep posts constructive in light of Rules #1, #5, and #6.

Mate, you didn't quote the part I said it's my opinion and don't get mad over it, clearly you have done what not this phrase meant. Yeah, sorry about that. I'm not mad or anything, it's just that I think the negativity against Cryptic is unwarranted. Surely you can place down what you do not like about the game and such, without actually insulting them (like the "Greedy Developers" thread for instance). It's your opinion, I respect that, but at least be able to display your opinion in a less negative tone. Again, I also did come off in a negative way, as the Admin mentioned. Which I am sorry for doing so.

As I have informed many time, this game is basically not free to play, it's like a demo, free to download, but not 1 great feature, as I stated in another topic, Champions Online doesn't deserve the title "FREE FOR ALL", it's Champions Online and that's it, I know, many great games charge, DC Universe online doesn't charge though, I'll have to admit that DC Universe is way, way, way, way, way, better than Champions Online, and Champions Online will certainly have to wait 300 million light years to reach the success of DC Universe Online, so, all great games charge, but this is overly charged, which is why I say, the developers are plain pigs. I could imagine the developers now: "MAN, we must find a way to let those *censored*ing silvers upgrade to gold" said developer "I got an idea, it is great, and brilliant, and bright, why don't we just make this game not free? we will get more money!" IDEA! "BRILLIANT" said developer -------- My opinion, and don't get mad it. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Icelide Power nothing but an aesthetical option over the regular flight? Since when the F2P model is designed to give the players every aesthetical option they may want? Who would invest in the game if they do? The Glacier is an Archetype which you can build for free and have access to the whole game just like the developers said (since the very beginning) but if you want to be pretty, you'll have to invest, that's the nature of F2P, it's how it works mate. Oh and for the record, I hate Iceslide, I have a level 40 Glacier which I built recently and I don't feel I need it, I think my glacier can do well without it, both practically and aesthetically so I don't even see a problem there. I have not seen the DCU F2P, but I'm certain they want you to invest on their product and that many features of their game can only be had thorugh buying them, why you have a problem with Cryptic doing the same?

People seem to forget that Subscription's Exist. Well they don't call it Champions Online Subcriber, they call it Champions online Free for All. So I see where they are coming from in that regards, I still disagree with them with the argument that Iceslide should be free, I can asure you they don't like free suff more than me, so whenever it's available I take it, but these guys seem to think they have a right to everything and absolutely everything in the game because of the game's current name. To me that's either naiveness or just downright inaccuracy, no F2P model works that way.

Yep pretty much, you nailed it, and I can't get over the fact they really think it's "All Free" They seem to believe CO should be like a giant TOTALLY free all you can eat Chinese buffet, and while the idea sounds inanely cool, there is simply no profit on doing that so to expect such of thing is... Well I'll shut my mouth now.
