We're going to be holding our first post-launch Devchat this Thursday, from 4:30PM - 5:30PM PDT. This time around, we'll be taking the majority of questions in advance and answering them live in IRC, and we'll open it up to some questions from the audience near the end. If you have a questions you'd like to be answered during chat, post it here!

This is not a discussion thread. Any posts which are not questions for the devchat will be deleted.

See you there!

Respecs/Retcons

When are you going to fix the pricing. This is supposed to be a fun super hero game. Not a Wargames my life depends on this every move type of game.

Free Respecs, Dont you think you should give them out after you nerf/change the powers?

I get alot of drops I cant use because I am forced to do quests 3 and 4 levels above me because I ran out of quests my level. What are your plans to fix this?

In your search for players window WHY is it so hard to just make 1 Millenium City instead of like 15 choices? There was like 20 Canadas yesterday while I was seeking lvl 28 people to help with a 5person mission. Do you know when your search function will be adjusted to actually be helpful?

When are you going to adjust the drop rates of ingame currency? We do not make neerly enough per kill. Also, What is the deal with the crappy exp rates if you street sweep?

Server stability is turning out to be a MAJOR problem with this game. When the game goes down, your forums start acting up. What are you planning to do now and in the future to MAKE SURE the game stays up during peak hours of gameplay?

I really just can't say this enough, Something is wrong with your respec system in this game. It is detracting from *my* fun levels. I am all for farming or whatever, but I should be able to fix a mistake without having to farm 24/7 like a gold farmer. When are you going to address this issue?

What is the status of the free retcon for head start players?

Times two on the exorbitant retcon prices.

What can we look forward to in regards to team-based content? One feature many enjoyed from Cryptic's previous game was the task force - will we ever see something similiar in Champions?

Will Sorcerer Aura's be made a little bit more useful anytime soon?

As it stands they have no noticeable effect on the outcome of any battle.

lol So many Questions to ask but the main one is when are you guys going to fix the Retcon/Give out the Respec? Also wouldent just giving a server wide Respec be easier to everyone considering you destoryed alot of peoples builds with that Launch patch?

Could you guys please work towards a more comprehensive manual? There is a lot of nuance to the game and I just can't find a solid source of information. Most of my issues pertain to statistics; crafting and how the more unusual rewards (offense/defense/utility) work; right now you have to equip them to see how they affect your character which binds them and makes them useless for sale.

What I'd really like to see is some sort of in-game manual that could be accessed from one of the Socrates terminals.

Thanks!

Can you nerf regen and mini mines more please? People are soloing group content with these.

Are there plans to modify the GameStop boots?

When will the costume options be avaliable in more categories (for example horns for beast heads)?

Will unlocked costume parts ever be unlocked account-wide? Most are pretty pointless since you already have your character done.

Are expansions already being planned?

Are new areas already being planned?

Would you consider leaving retcon being free until balancing issues are resolved?

Will you add more skin colors? How about using the same palette as everything else?

Will you add a slider to make colors brighter and darker, including costumes and powers?

Will powers be able to be shades of gray?

Do you plan to add more power gestures, such as finger-shooting and kick-shots?

When can we expect new costume parts? Do you have an idea of how will they be released?

Will you keep gameplay based on builds or will you go back to maximum customizability?

Can you NOT nerf anything else, and just BUFF the stuff that is lacking?
