Why have one when you could have both? :0)

Because lawns are high maintenance and boring to boot. When I get a home, I'm going to let nature take my yard. I'm also going to buy all the extra Christmas trees from this one florist after the holiday season is over and plant them in my front yard. Roots and needles will be welcomed and lawnmowers will be dismantled for parts.

I shall confess to wanting a front lawn entirely composed of barrel cacti. Naturally, they grow together and could form a formidable barrier to unwanted canine visitors.

The Snowmoorian cacti are very strange, but since they exist, I presume other succulent plants could be admitted in-game. The presence of barrel ones in Evercity could suit Lucky’s twisted sense of humor.

This has probably been done before, but it's kind of a frustration for me.

Profession restricted clothes;

• Keep them the way they are
• No clothes should be restricted
• There should be a couple outfits that are themed for certain professions and can only be worn by someone of that profession, but most clothes should be accessible to anyone

Duplicate outfits with different powers:

• No
• Yes
• Other (please explain)

Anyone can wear but you don't get the buffs.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

Wow, I need to explain my answers.

• Profession wise (I'm going in poll order...), I think they're fine now, Emily saying 'Shiny' makes TONS more sense, however, I do believe that they should be improved along the way to Revelation. I believe that the Academy would be a good place to do that if the resistance has a hidey-hole there.

• I think the autos make more sense being harder. Let's face it, with no training, you shouldn't be able to take out a patrol of autos! However, I think the new autos need revisions as some (i.e. the crash variants) just don't seem needed.

• For the weapons, how they have it makes since, however, I would say that you shouldn't get the weapon (At least from leveling up) until you can use it. If you do make it, you should be able to use it, but with decreased damage dealt as you don't have sufficient training yet to wield it best. What would also be cool is if you can have a 'hotbar' of weapons, but you can make extras and level them up to be better.

• Let's not forget what this wondrous game is for. I think the focus has rather turned away from the gospel. I really enjoyed the parallels, and I think taking even a few away is damaging the integrity of the game. :0)

• New items... I think that some are too rare! I mean, how is anyone going to be able to craft the 'new and improved' urchin's patchwork if we can't get more than one of anything new other than crystals (Which still seem to rare) and cans! (Also, devs, PLEASE make iron more common, or at least fix the lagoon glitch.)

• As for crafting plans, old suits shouldn't change! (I like the repair option though!) I also think that, new items for new outfits. Also, (devs, I know you'll have to get to this eventually) the clothes actually need to look new. I also think that changing the major storyline's quests slightly to match the profession would make sense. (i.e. a soldier has more fighting quests, while a mechanic has more 'fix-it' quests) Just an idea! :0)

• Rewards... I think that it makes since for the rewards to stay how they are as the professions are obviously going to have different clothes. I think that the rewards for the first 1-2 levels need to be fixed though. I don't want 3 of the same thing that doesn't do anything! :0) I think for storyline, the rewards must also be upgraded. give the plans along with the item! (It would also be cool if the main quests gave bigger buffs?)

• Auto health/weapon damage: Once again, this makes since. Autos are understandably strong (they're metal after all...), and you're actually taking understandable damage! You should not be unphased by getting shot in the chest! ;0) Weapon wise, I think the damage is fine, and I like how the damage dealt (basically) goes up with your level now. I do think that some profession-specific weapons may be in order.

• (Now we move to @Amelia_Lightgear...) I kinda explained my views on this above, but restricted clothes makes sense. It also makes sense that veteran users would have different/special clothes. (Make the old clothes the new exploded hat!)

• (Back to @Beth_Applemine :0) ) No. Absolutely NO duplicate outfits. The powers are GREAT, but they shouldn't be on duplicates. :0)

This concludes my rant explanation. :0)

[Beth_Applemine]

Duplicate autos with different names/ colors (I’m not talking about officers and the autos in new areas, I’m talking about crash technomites v. Technomites, etc.)

• Good
• Unnecessary/ Bad
• Other (plz explain)

By having duplicate automatons from the same base model, it should allow them to have harder enemies while you can still use lessons learned from fighting the easier ones. For example, noticing that all technomites resist fire and ice. I'm mainly annoyed when they don't follow that model.

And they honestly have too many variations in the fogstone mines...but the different types give different metals as rewards, so I'm willing to accept most of them. Everything except 10 different excavator variants within 4 areas...that's just too much.

(Now we move to @Amelia_Lightgear...) I kinda explained my views on this above, but restricted clothes makes sense. It also makes sense that veteran users would have different/special clothes. (Make the old clothes the new exploded hat!)

...I do not have the exploded hat. I wish I did. And I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you here. I just really don't like games that punish you for not finding out about them soon enough!

And as I have said, I wouldn't mind if there where a few clothes that were different for different professions, like a uniform, but no more than an outfit or two per season. From what I've seen and heard, it sounds like the main point of this update is to make the game more realistic. Well, how is not being able to wear a certain piece of clothing due to your job realistic?

Sorry if I'm ranting, but this is the one change made to the game that I don't think I could ever come to appreciate. (Well, that and the cut storylines.)

[Sierepica_Fuzzywalker]

Maybe I’m just a dofficus, but there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to the auto fights anymore and it seems totally random.

One should not have to make a spreadsheet to play a video game.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

See above. ;0) I think that if they are going to have variants, make them noticeably different!

Also, @Amelia_Lightgear, I see your point. However, I believe that the point is (maybe) to make it a little more like WoW.

[Jacoby_Elderfun1]

Hey, @Mech_Lightspark! Check out all the polls @Beth_Applemine put out a month ago. Interesting stuff. Lot of helpful feedback that might be helpful in the long run.
