Last I checked this was a superhero game and not a tight wearing cheap version of twisted metal or V8. Vehicles are great but only for a select few of character concepts and they definitely are not deserving of a whole system like they have received. I mean seriously name how many heroes or even villains in the comics use vehicles? Out of all the ones you came up with how many people use them as a primary means of doing their tasks?
Hell their is even Vehicle oriented content being made which isnt a bad thing as a side game but the last two events/alerts we have gotten are for vehicles. Can we get some actually comic or superhero stuff? Look at the display as your logging in does that look like a superhero game to you lol. It sure doesnt to me but hey who knows maybe i'm out of the loop, only been reading comics 20 plus years.
The devs actually bring back Bloodmoon which was supposed to be a every full moon thing anyways but thats besides the point. They bring the event back they don't update anything but it is still an event that most of the community enjoys or atleast they were able to till this version. Now if you try to make it to farm a fallen hero you are beat by 52 vehicles who then kill that fallen hero in like 4 secs. Does that sound like enjoyable or fun to you?
So can we please return to a more comic oriented direction, something that would actually make sense in this type of game? I think we have had enough with these become devices. Lets be real you give us a system in which we can create any hero we want so why do you think becomes are the hot items?

lol as true as that might be what little skeleton crew we have should not be focusing on races or sky fights as much as they should actual comic or genre content in my opinion.
"City of Hovertanks" will go down as one of the biggest blunders in MMO history if Cryptic doesn't take drastic action, and soon. Of course, I have no faith that anything will happen, because this mad scramble of slapdash events, all to promote more gambleboxes full of more vehicles, is too valuable to the game's bottom line.
They're not there in the beginning, but when your story ends / Gonna last with you longer than your friends
Im boycotting the new alert, im not going to even look at it.
Cuz I don't see any vision coming into focus anytime soon.
The players are there to buy things not get what they want.
Why would they put in stuff that doesn't need vehicles?
That won't sell things.
Look at Nevermind where you can't avoid picking up Lockboxes and you can't discard them. Then if you get something good, it tells everyone, in big letters.
then bags- in cash shop. Not the space for the bag, the actual bag.
which reminds me, I've got to pass a bug someone mentioned but weren't going to report.
Get the Forums Enhancement Extension!
Lockboxes seem highly succesful, considering how many people trade cosmic keys.
And despite all of the hate vehicles get around the forums, I see them regularly in-game.
Of course I don't have the exact numbers, but I feel confident saying that lockboxes and vehicles are bringing in the most cash.
Which (sadly) means they are here to stay.
When the only new content is being given through lockboxes, it stands to reason that they'll sell better.

I've already said it a thousand times. Simply releasing a costume pack would show me that someone cares. I won't ask for a massive zone addition- given the way things recently have been bungled, I'd rather them take their time and make it right, or not make it all.
Seems i'll just run around in Champs till the guys form Missing Worlds Media get their game ready
I was playing DCUO but it seems like you need to buy stuff or game in groups to do anything worthwhile. I may go back to that unless something new and interesting happens here.
My initial attraction to this game was due largely to the fact that I played the PnP game for years and thought it was the best game out there. I love the background, the characters, the system, it's a very rich world. Since I could not find people to play, I thought this would make a great substitute, and it did at first, but is now seeming like it is steering away from the superhero. I think this could be a great game, it just needs some attention. Hopefully that will happen when Neverwinter gets under control, but with updates every day and having serious exploit vulnerabilities that's probably not going to happen any time soon.
I do, however, have a problem with how they were implemented into the game.
They should have been nothing more than a travel power.
That way the game resources wouldn't have been used on a vehicle mod system and content made solely for vehicles.

This makes it sound as though vehicles are more powerful than heroes...

Was always my idea to make them like Bat-Flight, and so that they don't eat up the slots for other in-combat TPs they could have also been devices.
I'm almost glad I *completely* forgot to check out bloodmoon this last weekend, even though I was looking forward to it, if this is how the fallen heroes fights turned out. But IMO, the answer to your question is "never" or "not ever." (Especially after the bungled mess of the "open beta" of Neverwinter, I expect funds will remain tight.) Continue feeding this beast until you are no longer comfortable doing so, but I don't think it's nature will change, at this point. It seems far too late.
1. Hires a FULL proper dev team, that DOESN'T get shipped off sto or new world order
2. they sell the IP to a better studio that cares about supers and has alot more tact about how to handle it
until either of those happen you might as well be happy if we get anything at all
The Nemesis system needs fixing and here's ideas:
A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business. Henry Ford
The problem is that the bosses in Blood Moon are still designed to fight at pre-Alert levels. Toons these days are just way better--better powers, better gear, and specializations. Currently, a level 40 toon built around Two-Gun-Mojo can do 3K damage per tick. Undead Nimbus just can't take that kind of punishment.
Heck, the Deathlord gets swamped by 80-100 heroes all using post-Alert attacks and goes down in seconds.
Vehicles aren't the big issue with this--lack of updates is.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
Very true. Honestly I didnt see many vehicles in the gates I was clearing.
Cause with the current vehicles not being cosmetically customizable at all, it kinda kills that aspect especially this far into their release. Lets hope if they do ever bring a sidekick system and AI that its at least on par with Star Treks current officer system.
