Solution Focused and not problem focused

Problem

From reading the forums i have summarized the problem as:

1Co is not getting a special treatment pack like NW and STO.

2We havent had any updates since red alert or new power sets except Telepathy.

3 Our Devs seem to not be as active as STo and NW dev teams

Solution?

I can think of three

1. A special pack ( founders,Legacy) with time travel or villans for 999(basic),50(inbetween),and 129 99 (all the goodies) with

goodies and vehicles + new powers like water,staff,etc

2.A new update introducing a second faction. Maybe villans as playable faction or alternative world. How about introducing vigilante heros. CO would benefit from a two faction in PVP and in other stuff Could also introduce Task Forces..like COX.

3. Show devs as a community that we want them to be active.( not sure how )

or come up with own solutions but remember if your not part of the solution your part of the problem.

As a player of the PnP version of the game going back to 2nd Edition, there is SO much to the game that is not being utilized. Dark Champions is but one aspect of that. I would actually much rather see that (the vigilante "faction" you mentioned) than a true villain faction. I loved City of Villains, but the Going Rogue was where the notion of factions really gained depth, and I'm not even talking about the added zones. It was the only malleable alignment system I've played in an MMO that didn't feel arbitrary.

1. We don't really need "special treatment" bags...
2. Red Alert? That's just something that was added to On Alert update. Things went down way before. And we got "updates" after it.
Telepathy isn't new power set. It's an old one, from the beginning, all the way from year 2009. It's just had 2nd? revision.
3. We don't have such wide number of dev "teams" as those 2 games have.


Those aren't really solutions.

1. Actually have someone to create all the content for this. We need devs for this.
2.Look #1.
3.Very nice. Just figure out a way to do that. Past tries haven't gone well.

Sure. Yea right.
The player community isn't the problem.

Can we include Cryptic's record in the past year in this category?

I have a solution. They should all rent unicorns, and then fly high over millenium city ( getting there using the interdimensional into-game-getter that they will build using Amish lumber ) and sprinkle magical fairy dust down.

At least my solution is grounded in reality.

LOL. This must be your first rodeo.

Erm, would you guys mind not dumping on a guy who's trying to help?

chalupaoffury

my specific exception to this is not the effort to help, it's the insinuation that he's the first one to consider maybe asking for a bit more interaction and development. That and "if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem", like some people haven't gone through what equate to the stages of grief, and landed on the "complain endlessly and hope someone's watching" step.

lol well, that and coming to an mmo forum expecting optimism. Might as well ask for an invisible unicorn. That's mostly what my pic was about. lmfao the boards have been a wretched hive of scum and villainy since I joined, about 37 years ago. People were complaining about balance before closed beta even started. Nature of the beast.

I would use the search function in forums before posting ideas to see if they have been discussed (to prevent multiple threads on the same subject) or if the dev team has openly said no on suggestions I want to make.

That's what its there for.

I don't disagree with either, but for the first -- when people don't know how they can help, they generally fall back on methods that other people have tried, because the desire to help is just that strong; and for the second -- optimism may be in short supply, but that doesn't mean we can't be a positive community.

Sorry OP, but I'm locking the thread, it's already gotten way off topic.
