    Ok, just got really mad, so I had to calm down and post this quick.

    FC, y u no put Halloween bikes in the Phasefront shop?

    Seriously, the shop is going away, and we are going to lose any remaining points anyway in return for some unspecified reward. It is really that hard to let us finish up our collection of holiday stuff while we can? I have the Deathrider (the coolest looking holiday bike so far IMO) on only one toon due to some time constraints when it first came out - I have been hoping against hope that it would come back. And I was thrilled when I read that it was.

    But NOOOO. You locked it away in the shop for 600 points (which is ludicrous for a single special vehicle anyway) and won't let me burn up the points I have left on my toons? I call shenanigans on that call, to whoever made it.

    Maybe it's an oversight? I hope so.

    Please, let us burn our soon-to-be-useless points up on stuff that we actually want before they are gone.

    That is all.

    PS - Thanks for Halloween event, I have missed it sorely in other MMOs I have played - even though I am really, really steamed about the items being in the shop.

    To be fair on these grounds you could complain about Miy's being better than Azure, which used to be some of the hardest items ingame to get. I remember reading some very early patchnotes (before my time even) where FC apologized for introducing an item that made some earlier item obsolete - they had to say something like "we aren't trying to negate the work you put into getting the earlier item" - now it happens all the time and it even seems silly they had to make an excuse.

    As to it being easy, BoC's used to require maybe a hundred realpande raids to get - now you probably have to do a dozen ipandes or just buy one. It's all just part of modern MMO powercreep.

    Can't the pvp-missions be rolled from the new hub instead?

    Is it somehow possible to let us finally use nanos while we're morphed as Draculeet or whatever? Like it is with social weapons, all good unless you're in fight? That would really be something!

    Considering that I have all the pillows and pistols I could ever need.
    Backpacks full of backpacks full of t-shirts I never use.
    No one to do the team content with.
    And zero patience to serve as a gank pole for overgrown teens with a shade who need to pevepe in AO because their little brother owns them in CoD.
    I have to declare that I care as much about AO's Halloween celebrations as comedian Jimmy Carr cares about princess Diana's death.

    I guess to imply that we neutrals are obsolete and antiquated? Well of course, duh, and this neut. loves to play with all the obsolete and antiquated gear. That's where all the charm is. Good grief, who employs these pinheads anyway.

    Might be too late (**) since its already on the market but it probably would've made more sense to have created 3 Freelancer beacons:

    1. Not-Omni, sends you to the Clan Agency
    2. Not-Clan, sends you to the Omni Agency
    3. All faction, sends you to the Antique Shop

    Might've actually gotten 2 sales out of this as some people might want both their faction specific and antique shop and heck, 3 sales, if neutrals (for some reason) wanted all 3.

    ** Can probably still do this and just create some sort of one-time tradeskill that turns the Freelancers Inc (current version) beacon into one of the 3 others, depending on which multi-form you combine it with (multi-form, clans multi-form or omni-tek multiform).

    Don't throw a hissy fit, brochacho. The antique shop is the PvP daily area.

    Yes of course you have, why bother spending money to create something new when you can just resell stuff from earlier years?

    Well the Deathrider is the best looking bike skin so far, so as I said I was thrilled to see it come back, but locking it into the itemshop as opposed to shop+PP vendor and for a ridiculous amount of FCP is just outrageous IMO.

    I added a very large amount of PP onto my toons (in the range of 6k+) so that I could get the seasonal content for years to come - I know that the PP shop is going away, but as long as it is still here, we should still get the benefits of having spent a ton of money on it. In essence the PP vendor is a clumsy attempt at account-wide unlocks, and FC has the money I spent to purchase said items. To lock items that until now have been available in it behind a second paywall is a very, very hamfisted cashgrab. It's almost PWE-level in its display of disrespect to loyal customers.

    Again let me say that I appreciate the Halloween content, and I have been lucky (very, very lucky) in drops this year, but as fun and great as it all has been, I am still barely convinced to keep my accounts up past the holiday, especially since the complete insult to my wallet provided by the Halloween bikes this year.

    Great work on everything else Michi, and I am going to assume that the marketing department made the call on the bikes, and continue to enjoy the positive, albeit small, QoL improvements you are providing.

Particularly if in a new town, use this as an opportunity to assert yourself. Any drunken idiot can win a bar fight. It takes a real man to win a bar fight while enjoying a cup of Earl Grey.
