    How about you stop trying to argue with me hmm and stop being a total jerk? I'm tempted to throw you onto the ignore. Your lack of patience leaves me appalled, it's like you just exploded on me for bringing up "an old game".

    As for cryptic saying they will not anytime soon, if you guys just give up then of course you won't get anything anytime soon.

    I find the hypocrisy of you citing my lack of patience, when you were saying you wanted CoH back because the servers went down, to be absolutely amusing.

    To put my own two cents worth into this new Co VS CoX debate that has come up...

    I've been a member of City of Heroes for over five years before it was shut down. I was also a part of the beta for Champions Online when it started, and have been a gold since that day on. I'm not one of those people who has a Pepsi Vs Coke mentality regarding the two games, so the argument of CoX had this and CO blah blah is silly.

    Having said this, it's clear CO does need some Dev love . I've said it enough times as Moon Cat in Zonechat for people to know. I am wondering, once Neverwinter is launched and STO: LoR is deployed, will there be a redirection in focus back to CO that does not involve yet another lockbox campaign? I mean a Foundry. I mean new content in both Adventure Packs and lore. I mean new zones. I mean better server load balancing for the performance of the game.

    If you people want to get yourselves worked up over something, this is the line of thinking you should pursue.

    ;_; I don't want to be a boy.

    And no, not me. I've been opening it, letting it run until I get that error box, closing it and trying again. This shall continue until it comes back up, or I go to sleep.

    I'm sure you could find a number, but no need. They're aware of the issue, as stated on their facebook page, and they're working on it. Just gotta wait it out.

    Changes would be nice. I personally would like to see some bug fixes, more adventure packs and lore definitely, maybe even more details for RPers. Those things, I'm willing to ask for. It's the constant stating that "CoH had this, so CO should too", in that form or worse, that grates at my nerves. This game is not a clone of that one. It shouldn't be. The constant, unending comparisons get old extremely fast.

    Hypocrasy? So your name-calling me hmm? Well I've said what I've said, I'd like to see things improve, you apparently do not. Have a good day.

    It's hypocrisy, it's spelled correctly right there in my post. You also missed the whole point of that conversation, apparently, in that wanting change isn't what I'm against, but the constant crying about how this game isn't a copy of the one you came from. You should get over that.

    Sparkle...let it go. Don't be the one to continue it. You're better than that. Personally, would I like to see the changes Moon Cat suggested, hell yeah. I'd also like to see the severs a bit more stable. I mean, crashing -ALL- of their games at once? That's gotta hurt.

    I only played CoH for .... two weeks. It was fun. But same here, been in CO since beta. I took a hiatus during a computer crash, only to return, and no more crafting system, three secondary slots shorter, and a new mod system. I didn't have time to learn all the new, and was a bit miffed that my large and extensive collection of components were now (near) worthless so I took some more time (work, school, Diablo 3...) and came back to PWE and lockboxes and vehicles... I do miss the devs. What happened to when they would get on with us and chat or do open missions or answer silly questions or play games, etc? There were friendly people with characters that you recognized and were happy to see... Does PWE have these people, or is it just that CO is no longer shiny..? We could use a polish... or at least a stiff rub.

    Yeah, that's one thing I wonder about. I don't know things about servers or how they work, but I wonder if there's a cost-effective way for them to set up their servers individually. It'd probably be less 'run around with our hair on fire' to have just one go down instead of all three at the same time.

    Maybe someone who actually knows about how servers work can explain if it's easy to achieve or not.

    Because, Xan, and this is coming from a FELLOW CoX refugee, neither game is better than the other, really. They're just different. CoX was a damned good game, played it for -YEARS-, had everything you could buy for packs. Honestly, they both have/had their strengths and weaknesses. But, whining about the glory days -WON'T- bring them back. So, let it go, and just, if you make a suggestion, make it for the game that's still running, not comparing it to the one that's not.

    This is from their facebook page, should be useful for anyone wondering:

    Thanks! I don't have facebook, had absolutely no clue lol.

    Edit: I wonder if it's related to the problems that League of Legends is having with the PBE. Apparently it went down at the same time CO did.

    I open up the patcher and i get the "Trying to update the launcher" window. It "Tries" to connect 2 times before a long pause and an error message: "Unable to establish connection to Patch Server". i havent been able to reconnect after an hour and a half of trying. Even going past the patcher to the client doesn't work. :mad:

    I find it funny people seem to act like I don't like CO. Such a black and white view, I liked both games and recognize they are different. Everyone even misread the "What really bothers me is how things like this make me want to go back to CoX", key word, "Bothers". Seriously guys. It's like you misread and misunderstand me entirely. I try not to write a bad communication but still, disconnections in general bring out the worst in me, they are a serious pet peve especially when it's my day off from a job I'm not particularly happy with.

    It does bother me that things like that cause me to experience nostalgia, but stop being so hostile at me, I wasn't asking for it. I am sorry if I hit a nerve here but I guess I shouldn't give any criticism, since it seems even not bringing CoX up causes someone to troll someone.

    I'd really like the server back up soon, getting bored trying to make an auto-chicken egg farm work in minecraft when a bug makes it near impossible to do currently.

    Well servers are down, so I think peeps are trying to start in arguement to pass time...in that case your opinion is wrong! :)
