PAX Prime panel- “WHIP IT GOOD: KICKSTARTING IGA”

Thanks, Dan! It was pretty fun to watch. Should have been more like 2 hours though!

About that discussion on armor/accessories/cloaks,
The defense increase/decrease you would get from using different cloaks were negligible anyway. I mean, if you normally use Joseph's for instance (which could be any color combination), but you like how the crystal cloak looks, then you're only missing...3 points of CON (just looked it up). This game being as easy as it is, at that point in the game, the number of hits you can/can't take probably doesn't even change.

K. Sounds good. I was trying to steer the conversation in that direction by offering possible solutions that'd make both parties happy. Didn't mean to come off as confrontational.

Also, if you're going to be this active on the boards, just go ahead and sign up!

Yeah, you should join up, Dan G., it's convenient and this is a nice forum, too

=/

You seem to be missing all the facts... the posts you are criticizing were moved from another thread.. a thread about questions for the pax thing, and since the questions have already been selected beyond a certain point, discussing particular questions and the nature of them is about as on topic as you can get. Even if it wasn't, I never got the impression that this was the kind of forum where topics must be adhered to with absolute laser-defined clarity all the time.

Blah, I was hoping for a handy video or something.. All I can find is the schedule. qq.

As for the cosmetic/costume thing. Despite the fact I don't like any of the examples much, I like the thought it's on the dev's mind...And as for the discussion between Dan G and other people....

Basically Dan, there are actually quite a few games that DO have cosmetic items and stat items seperately, even for the same slots... so like you can wear a helm for stats, and APPEAR to wear another helm for cosmetics. You posted something that indicated you thought this to be unlikely, and that you wanted what you wanted because it's not impossible. I think you are mistaken or unaware of how normal such a system is. I personally can think of quite a few that feature it: Diablo 3, World of Warcraft, Elsword, Vindictus, starbound, terraria, Phantasy star online 2...Pretty sure nearly every new mmo does actually nowdays.... It is quite frankly becomming near-standard.

I THINK that is why he wanted his 'way' nyah. If not, I kinda agree, it would seem like a selfish thing because his way basically burns everyone who wants to play dressup without sacrificing stats...but the other ways don't actually prohibit anyone from doing whatever they want for stats OR looks.

I just hope that the game doesn't have a "turn this stat-based item into a cosmetic version" feature that either unlocks late in the game, preventing you from enjoying it for most of the game. Or one that effectively forces you to farm 'double' of certain items.

Well then my post would have been perfectly on topic to begin with then.

Fact of the matter is that the posts were moved, so if you have any inquires or disagreements regarding how on-topic they were you should be talking to Mike about that, via PM.

I noticed you can change Miriam's skin colour to unnatural colours (like blue). Interesting... Maybe I can make a full Watermelon-themed Miriam this way!  

Did they say just Miriam would be customized, or that all 3 would be able to be customized?

Even if it's just Miriam, this is an exciting revelation!

I did not dismiss their compromises at all. I said I'd be happy with it being an optional thing you can switch on or off. I'm just saying IGA has never done that with equipment so it's unlikely to happen, which is why it SEEMED like I was against it. Don't make me out to be bad just because I disagree with something, a middle ground solution is always preferred IF the developers even consider that which I doubt sadly.

I have always wondered why you don't log in. I knew it was you though. Some members are a bit too critical of other's posts. I'm glad you keep coming back, and I always enjoy your posts.
