Well, since I play CO ever since 2009 and that includes PVP, I can easily answer to this. 1. UTC cage is merely a team deathmatch. ****loads of FPS games have team deathmatch, including cage-themed matches. UTC is 0% original. 2. Quakeworld Custom Team Fortress. You can not only choose among 200 different weapons, but you…
Just noting that the way game population is measured is the max amount of players online at the same time each day per total unique amount of players to connect to the game per day, which excludes alt accounts and discards different toons. This means that if CO has a max amount of 400 players among 1,000 total unique users…
I don't know how Gradii and Sakura are seeing this entire debate, but for me it's a fantastic way to pass time while the server is down. I'm really sorry if my posts about this theme bother anyone reading this thread, that's not what I'm here for, but I think bouncing those ideas and debate on them is WAY better than…
I agree wholeheartedly. I don't want to play the "oldbie nostalgic guy" here, but those games I've mentioned were way better in that regard. First off, we didn't whine about having 120 ping as "a brutal lag that makes the game unplayable, wah wah". We actually said things like "Whoa, my ping is at 450, lightspeed…
Alright, let me see if I can help you two in understanding each other: What Sakura is trying to say is that people simply play the alert, they don't talk to each other, it's almost as if you are playing an alert with bots or NPCS. Honestly, that doesn't bother me at all, because I used to play 56k games like Doom and…
Actually, it isn't, specially because I wasn't referring to the server downtime only, but hey, since you are clairvoyant, let's guess the lottery numbers! I meant to say that I don't buy lifetime subscription because of all the things the players usually complain about, meaning all the broken stuff, the small community,…
You and the entirety of the servers. But while you can't, get Illumination + Celestial conduit. Find a destructible object close to an NPC. Use Illumination on the object then destroy it with Celestial conduit. Watch the friendly NPC being damaged along with the object. Now rinse and repeat. You can kill all friendlies in…
CO was never meant to be PVP oriented. Rather, it was meant to be PVE oriented and with the RP ability, meaning that you could do the missions while RPing. This is why there is so much space for people to work on their toons bio, story and make theme builds and so little dedication to pvp. Originally CO was released to be…
Not to mention that there is no duality, instead double standards. You can make a nearly-flawless PVE build, which will suck in PVP, but if you make an OP PVP build you will ROFLSTOMP almost everything in PVE. What we should have is powers that work according to the class of the enemy in question. They could have…
Actually, we need MORE content where the players are forced to form a team to beat it. CO is meant to be a MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER game, and making it in such a way that you can do everything on your own defeats the definition of its own concept. As the guy over there said it - I forgot because he said that last year - a game…
In my case I wouldn't take the bus because I don't NEED the bus, it doesn't really save much of my time, the bus gets little to no maintenance and the very few people who used to take said bus are leaving it as the days pass.
Mechanon event. 6 Zones, average of 500 users online by my calculations. CO is not going down anywhere so soon, since Cryptic belongs to Perfect World Entertainment, and a server that doesn't actively have a BIG negative money consumption per month won't be shut down. And if they ever shut CO down it will not be because of…
That is because Alerts do not provide an actual challenge for anyone above level 20. You just need to attack the same guy the other person is attacking, and at level 40 not even that is required. You can even solo the lalert while the newbies in the team derp around.
PVP was never meant to be anything other than merely a past-time in the game, which is why you were introduced to PVP on level 10 and then the game itself never made another direct mention to it. PVP as it should be is over. What we have now is EVE, aka Exploiters Versus Exploiters.
It seems my plan to go back to Chinese PW has met with an unexplicable and completely unpredicted flaw: Their official website is all in chinese. I have no idea of where to click.
I found out about CO when a dannish friend of mine over MSN told me about it. She wanted me to play it with her so we could RP. I refused, because back then I had a strictly personal policy of never spending money with games. Then she showed me her boobs on webcam. 10 minutes later I had a Cryptic account and was…
There's a special place in hell for people like you, you know that? Oh, hell, there's a special place in hell for people like ME. I hope they have internet down there.
Oh no, I tripped and accidently dropped my shameless self-promotion link about my suggestion thread here: http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=298621 Now it's to make TT trip and fall in my thread so he reads it as well.
Yes! That's one thing I aimed for with my idea. The game would become a community-created content. We'd have as much villains as the players wanted, and that would probably attract more players, then bringing more villains and heroes according to their wishes, and so forth. Not to mention that being a hero would mean more,…
Wallachia's build works very well in pvp, so I might bring Maverick's build. It's a PVE-oriented build, so he has paper-thin defense (only 250) and shouldn't pose a big threat to anyone who'd survive the first 3 hits. Or I can make a whole new build. Or I can bring Combat Medic, who deals so little damage he might actually…
Caliga, Punchy and Arona worrying about those minor stuff there while I'm still with my terrible conundrum of how to properly outfit with a good formal costume, since my costume is already formal...
I manage to get free from heavy duty earlier to play CO more for today -> Server gets extended maintenance today, rather than thursday. It's almost like Trailturtle said "Hey guys, he's gonna get here earlier today, let's do maintenance until he has to go off".
