Time For A New Light On Champions Online Bring Back Heroes/Villains/Rogues Character Defining

ghobepong

Okay, now maybe I'm being nostalgic here, but I remember a time when you created a character on CoHs based on the expansions it could be a hero, villain, or a big of a rogue/dark hero.

Yet since back in 2009 and 2010 this MMO never really kept to that promise. In fact it's a WELL known fact this was suppose to be a Marvel MMO. Now bringing that up I know that's rubbing salt in old wounds.

Don't worry it's about to get even more salty here.

So what's the suggestion you might ask? Simple, bring back the concept that defined a character, morale, motive, what gave the franchise both paper and dice, and even online meaning! I'm talking about a character definition system that your character could be good, evil, rogue, and even have quest and missions that could define it in game.

You see this in the old CoHs, even on tOR as well. In fact it's a critical part of any good RPG. And that exactly is what CO suppose to be. An Online RPG. Yet, with Onslaught, and even other events it's turned it into more of wait for the villain and well go to a pigeon fest on bread.

It's okay, but there was a time PVE and PVP like Star Wars Galaxies had a lot of thought go into it depending on what side you picked. Heck even STO shares this similar quality as well.

This is an opportunity that could open up so many doors, and yes give CO a new life.

This topic pops up often and instantly gets shot down as it will never happen because nobody wants it. Or at least that is the logic that I get out of it. If a rogue/villain side ever opens in CO, I'd be all over it in a heart beat.

It's not that nobody wants it -- it's that the number of people who want it doesn't justify the effort required to do it, and is smaller than the number who would welcome other content that's similar effort to develop.

At this point, you'd have a better chance of suggesting them start work on a Champions reboot or something than them actually putting in effort to completely overhaul this game. The amount of work that would be needed would be rather large.

A a simple minded one tracked thinker.

NEXT POST PLEASE!

PS: If it gets suggested, and enough comment? It annoys them to act. FACT!

Okay here's the problem how I see it. First IT DID exist before, and that's when PWE I think never had their hands on it.

Now if IT did exist? What PWE sees is a "somplete" overhaul in how SGs, Game Mechanics, and of course game progression would be done. YET they run a faction system in "other" games and there is no problems.

Again funny you should mention that. Work means jobs, jobs mean money, and overhaul? YES! Means new opportunity and a fresh face to the game.

Yeah, you're taking the Joker RP too far. You're acting outright delusional.

From what I hear the villain half of CoH was a huge failure anyways, so why would we want that feature here and how would it breath new life into this game when it failed to do so there?

I think you've pretty much defined the theme behind ghobe's series of posts. I wonder if they're actually someone we're all familiar with on a sock puppet?

Armchair developer, who decided they played a game once and they know more about economics, finances and well development in general than well, people that do those things I guess. It's always amusing to sit back and watch as they tie themselves in knots trying to prove they know better.
