What the hell kind of answer is this? STO, CO and NW all share the same engine. STO has this ability (finally, after 3 years of complaining about it...). Why shouldn't CO and NW have the ability to log out to character selection?
...what are you hiding underneath the bacon and why?

Any evidence to counter all the "symptoms"? ie. improving number of developers, communications, fixing bugs, and real solid content instead of "lockboxes" (I really do love Champions Online and I'd continue to put money in but as of right now I see no real reasons to come back and start playing again...)

Q:Revenantmorituri:
1) Can we hope to see a major bugfix pass once we get our Devs back from Neverwinter?
3) Everyone is clamoring for a new zone, and I am no different. What we need is an additional URBAN zone. Preferably covering the 27-35 range as an alternate to Monster Island/Lemuria track (My gritty street-vigilantes are tired of spending eight levels sleeping in dinosaur drool). Put it in the area north of the current city, covering the Hamtramck reconstructed area, with an airport, a stadium, and a mall?
4) Could we please have an explanation as to why nothing was done to attract CoH players Dec 01 2012 beyond a single official welcome message and a Double XP weekend? The three months warning ought to have een eough to wake someone up in management to get things pushed along.

If Cryptic-Studios are going to take Champions-Online takings and funnel the funds into STO or Neverwinter or any new secret project in development - don't you think you have a responsibility, an obligation to give those Champions-Online subscribers a developmental plan for their favourite game something above the order of 'maintainance-mode'?.

I hope that whatever it may be that the devs are going to be working on, players will be given a heads up. It does not matter whether things are going according to plans or eventually it cannot work out. The constant communication and updates will allow players to know that something is still happening. Yes, even if it is slow and we have very few or just one dev working on it that does not matter. The communication is important.
Haters will always be haters and no matter what you say or do they will just whine. However for other players, I am sure they will appreciate any info you can provide. The relatively successful Lemurian Invasion can be to a large extent credited to the fact that many of the feedback and suggestions from players were included in the refinement. This two-way communication will only serve to improve the game so, keep it up.

However, I was terribly disappointed by your non-answer about the Foundry. Does CO not in fact share a code base with STO and NWO? If it does, then the question of Foundry should be a matter of when, not if. I'd really like the chance to try inserting the stories in my head into the game...
Also looking forward to ground vehicles. The Hawkwing works for Blackwing - the whole "wing" motif, after all - but Spider-Bat could really use a Spiderbatmobile or a ground bike or something. (I could also use a Copperhead for Farhunter - it even matches his color scheme! - but I'm both philosophically and financially opposed to lockboxes.)

Honestly, if you follow the history of the game/forums we were only truly missing one thing in this equation. The "Game that's not us" isn't live yet. Last time the game was live and then the SoTG and short burst of communication/stuff hit. It is my sincere hope that this time around, since we have Trailturtle, things will be more bountiful and not putter out into radio silence as quickly as last time.
If memory serves me correctly, I could be wrong, then this is the 1st "1st Ask Cryptic of The Year" that wasn't preceeded by a "SOTG" which is likely one of the reasons the "Answers" didn't just echo the SOTG. Think about it. Creepy stuff. We're breaking precedents here. To what ends...no idea. :cool:

Also, this really REALLY got my dander up:
"Will the nemesis creator be updated with the Earth and Wind Power sets?
We?re not currently planning to expand the Nemesis Creator."
Are these stupid-**** decisions being made by one person or by the whole of the dev team?
On the bright side I won't have to change my forum sig any time soon.
I'm happy we're getting ground vehicles, really, I am.
But ... there are about a thousand more things to work on rather than vehicles, from the still-ancient Nemesis system and the buggy nature of certain powersets, to the lack of modernization with Telepathy, to endless requests for updating the costume creator - all part of Champions Online's touted customization feature ... not to mention any number of bugs and the lack of choice in terms of leveling paths at low levels.
But instead of any answers about that, we're definitely getting non-customizable (appearance-wise anyway) vehicles and likely more lockbox content, plus AFs which are at best vanity items.
Oh, and just to complain about vehicles a little more ...
Just not in the most common environment people use travel powers, the open world. This fully flies in the face of characters like Speedsters, and those whose speed is their defining trait. "Sorry Flash, you should get yourself a Grav Bike."
I think this Q&A could've been summed up thusly:
"OK, most of the questions we're picking have to do with Vehicles, so don't worry, you'll have vehicles for every occasion and you'll be tripping over lockboxes for the rest of the heroic career. If this doesn't answer your question, then your answer is no, not at this time, nor for the forseeable future."

This utter disregard for what people actually want is absurd. Land vehicles, great. Ok. But you know what? Where the hell are the SG bases we were promised? How bout those extra rooms in the Hideouts? How bout those new costume sets? How bout actual skins for fighting claws?
You have made empty promise after empty promise. You have willingly, and almost near constantly, pulled resources off of CO and moved them to other products, when you -had- a vibrant community here that was willing to pay for certain things, which, in your infinite wisdom, you did not provide.
Does anyone else see the flaw in not provided to your costumer base the things they constantly ask for? Not a single business, ever, in any other market aside from the game market, would last doing that.
You better pray that Project Phoenix or any of the other super hero kickstart MMO's never get off the ground. Because ANYTHING is better then is constant stream of useless and meaningless drivel, and people will flee from CO like ticks of a drowning dog.
I know I will.

I full support this post. Where are those Super Group Bases you promised us over a year ago? Where are the new hideouts, new sets, new rooms, new costumes, New Zones? What happened to the Fighting Claws skins that were promised? What happened to adding more content, not just Alerts, but the Adventure Packs, Comic Series, those were solid things that we all greatly enjoyed. Why were those no longer being made? I am an LTS and have probably put over 2 grand into this game because of my support for it in the past, but now...this is absolutely a slap to our faces when a question getting answered is about Bacon? and when an actual question about Dr Destroyer is asked about future content it isn't met with a "We have something in the works" no, it's just a
I want to see this game thrive, I really do. Cryptic, I would greatly appreciate it if those SG bases were made and added to the game, all those promises from the past were made and added, please don't focus on vehicles, but get up to date with your promises. a human being is only as good as their word, much like how a company is only as good as their word. I have found Cryptic to be greatly lacking in this regard on many occasions...
I honestly thank you PWE for showing me how not to manage an mmo studio. Didn't think anyone other than SOE would teach me so many "how not to".
Well guys heres to enjoying this sinking ship while we can and hope project Pheonix saves us soon.
Dear, Cryptic Studios.
The fact that we have communication, of some kind, is appreciated, and thank you for answering one of my questions that I posted. It has to be said now, however, that having something when there was nothing--TrailTurtle not withstanding-- isn't reason to not be perturbed by this most recent of Development Team communication. I, and several others--whom I hope voice their opinions here-- are simply not happy in any way about specific answers, the tone of this communication and an over all sense of neglect to the game.
Hearing "No, we don't have any plans to do X" is never welcome, however, frankly some of us are concerned that the Studio as a whole--not necessarily the Champions Online Team-- simply doesn't care about Champions Online when we hear this. It isn't just the disappointment when a feature you cared about won't be getting any more face-time, its the fact that a feature--I'm thinking of the Nemesis system here-- that was at one time showcased and was a draw to this game is being dropped.
The Nemesis System, Hideouts, Comic Series, Adventure Packs--there is a pattern here that is worthy of a great amount of concern, development dropped for whatever reason when there was potential for a huge amount of great fun to be had out of these things.
The tone of levity is understandable, but please Cryptic Studios, you have to understand some of us are very worried about the state of the game and its future, and even questioning if it has one at all. There is a love for the cape and mask genre, the broad appeal that Comic Books have to a variety of tastes and stories, and the opportunity that the Champions IP provides to experience these stories.
This concern isn't just about our own game, but the game in regards to the fledgling Superhero-Comic-Book genre of MMORPGs. I personally don't believe you, Cryptic Studios, necessarily have any malice in your heart towards this game, but it does feel like we've simply been forgotten and not even worth the thought required to even have spite, let alone being tended to.
We understand that any work and change that could be made to the game's situation takes time, its just the tone that concerns us. You can't be proclaiming fire and brimstone, the sky is falling, I understand, its just that the amount of levity given the situation, as we see it, is disconcerting.
On your webstie it says
"Cryptic Studios' first title was also the first AAA MMO on the market."
That MMO was a Superhero MMO, and its gone now, and many of us fear that Champions Online is already gone, not by a publisher's petty whims, but because of neglect and haphazard updating. Worse than the game simply shutting down, because it will always be there, a reminder of what could have been. Its why I'm so hesitant to go Lifetime with this game.
We love this game, Cryptic Studios, and we want this to be prestigious game like the previous was. You're one of two choices now on the market to live out an individual's comic book dreams with a community of people that want to do the same.
-Sincerely,
A Concerned Fan
Also, CoH really wasn't all that great, I played it, it was like a very Beta feeling CO with really terrifying models, also, cooldowns, lots of cooldowns. I can't think of anything more exciting than waiting to shoot at someone with my assault rifle for 5 seconds between three round bursts. To its credit that's how literally every other mmo out there works basically, but also why I hate MMOs.
I don't think there will ever be another game in the MMO category that can obtain the feeling that CO gives overall. It may be spiraling down the drain, but at least we had a fun 2 year run while it was in its peak.
Snark never dies.
So, probably by the end of the year the name of the game will be changed to Vehicles Online, is that it???
Don't get me wrong, I love this game, but I want to play CHAMPIONS online, with my hero, not fly around with a legshaver or a rippoff speeder from Star Wars...
So thats like 3 people then. Yup They be lucky. You tell em squire.

Q:What's going on with the Foundry?
A: We would really love to add the Foundry to CO, but it?s a very large undertaking and we?re still figuring out if/how we could do it
You guys have had OVER 2 YEARS to try and figure this out, and you STILL hum and haw and drag your feet about it?? This game is in dire need of steady content and you guys are ignoring it?! Cryptic what in the name of Jacques-Yves Cousteau is wrong with you? how much more time do you need? 2-3 more years?! I'll be LONG gone by then, and I'm sure a lot of other people will as well.
but no.. this answer took the cake for me
Q. Will the nemesis creator be updated with the Earth and Wind Power sets?
A. We?re not currently planning to expand the Nemesis Creator.
So another classic piece of fan favorite content, (and my personal favorite for this game) that you guys are going to ignore? With the new earth, wind, and heavy weapons and your just going to let it rot? i have NO words to describe my disappointment and shock as a paying customer of your product that two of the most requested pieces are ignored without reason, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
Is this your goal? To drive off what little paying customers you have to make this game fail on purpose so you can put more resources into STO and Neverwinter? Save yourself the trouble and just sell the IP to another studio just like you did with COH because that would be a smarter thing to do, and it would be better for the game in general long run.
This Ask Cryptic was the final determining factor IF i was going to continue supporting this game, and for that i give you guys a big fat F for Failure because this is just unacceptable
you guys have just insured that you will not get another penny from me
