Hello, is this thing on?

dogmaticusdogmaticus Posts: 20 Arc User
in Champions Online Discussion
The topic basically expresses how I feel when approaching Champions Online. The game seems to be almost abandoned, with not much content being added over recent years. I've been with the game since beta, and am a lifetimer, but for a long time haven't played it, staying mostly with DCUO (and from Cryptic games with Star Trek Online).

I guess what I'm trying to say is: how active is the community? Is there anything to do if and when I create a new toon? What's the state of the game in general?

    The game is mostly just grinding events tokens and recogs. Endgame is just Cosmics and TA. We get some power revamps and costumes here and there. During peak hours, there's decent number of peeps online.

    If you're not into those, or not into customization, feel free to stick to DCUO.

    Clearly you've already decided what the state of the game is for you and that you'll be headed back to other games. Why you, and others, feel compelled to let us know this by creating yet another DOOOM thread (basically) is beyond me.

    If you play and question and contribute .. GREAT! If you wish to bemoan the lack of (major) content addition, please do so in any one of the other threads. Or go to the Suggestion forum and add something not already posted there.

    If you are just going to leave ... leave. I have no sympathy for people that feel the need to create yet another "Nothing to do here, I'm leaving, ergo you should too" thread.​​

    Never did see the attraction to DCUO. I want to be a hero, not a sidekick.

    We aren't heroes in CO, we are Champions. Free to be a villain or a hero if we please.

    Champions does sound better than Hero/Super Hero doesn't it?
    It has a nice ring on it and can be used by any kind of character :wink:​​

    No, I have not. I look at the game and see lack of significant updates. At some point Cryptic put most of its resources to Star Trek Online, and CO was left behind. Which is a pitty, because this is a really nice game with amazing customization options, and huge potential for roleplaying.

    This thread was created with hope that I will get information about community, that there is something happening in the game. That is all.

    We've been getting steady updates for a while now under the current team. I kind of think everyone can tell that you've already made up your mind about if those updates are valid/satisfactory so that's why peeps aren't tripping over themselves to give you da info. Feel free to prove me wrong though.​​

    Haha, no I'm not going to even try to prove you wrong, because I honestly don't see why I should ;).

    I've been casually browsing the FB site, checking the CO site news section, etc., and it seemed to me that there really isn't anything meaningful being added. Which is why I asked here - to get a first hand information from people who actually play the game.

    As much as I love DCUO, I am sometimes tired with the slightly dark tone and quite limited customization options. I want to go wild with my costume designs, as my character progresses. Which is why I'm hoping for some life in CO. Also because the game has an amazing lore in P&P books (I am proud to have chipped in to supporting one of them some time ago, even got my name in it :) ).

    Since you say you've been here since Beta you must know the situation here. I'm not going to repeat what is posted every single time in every one of these threads. Put honest suggestions in the Suggestion Forum. Comment in the various other forums/threads.

    Stop thinking that you are the only one that sees the situation and maybe a Dev will pay attention and miraculously post huge amounts of brand new content.

    And, for your "hope that I will get information about community, that there is something happening in the game." ... PLAY it. Don't just jump on the forums after some long absence and hope people are going to blow sunshine. YOU need to decide for yourself ... from inside the game. YOU decide it blows chunks, then leave. Don't create another "bye bye" thread that no game ever needs.


    Sure, now you're going to think I'm some mean ol monster on the forums and in the game. I'm just (finally) fed up with people who think they deserve special attention.


    But, if you're going to go ... just go. No one needs to know the "why". It's the same "why" for every game out there. There's no secret mystical reason why some games get "more" and some get "less" attention. Deal with it and enjoy what you can OR don't and just move on.​​

    I need my "why". That why I posted. I posted the "why"... my "why".

    And no, I'm not going to think that you're a monster. I just think that you are maybe slightly angry, definitely annoyed. And because of that you also seem to be slightly annoying ;), but that's fine. I think I know what you feel. I am also annoyed by people coming to game forums or FB to tell everybody that the game is dying, or is bad, or whatever. This was, however, not my intention.

    When was the last time you played? It could be argued you’ve missed years worth of content

    You can put whatever you like in the Suggestion Box but devs won't/can't read it, so we're just talking to ourselves.
