*SNRK* I fell out of my chair from laughing so hard. Gods, smoochie. That....is top notch snark. I doff my hat to thee. Truely, the farce is strong in you.
And there's absolutely nothing wrong with your thinking that, Nepht. :) I just disagree. I played CoH for six and a half years, loving every minute of it. When the news came out that this game was in the works, I was skeptical, but as with everything, I was reserving judgement until I could actually play the game. Launch…
Hrmmm...tough question. I've played The Secret World, and I don't much care for it other than the one shining jewel of the game. It's storyline. Dear gods, they've got a writer and a half. The world looks pretty decent, but the character models need so much love it's pathetic. .........I can't think of a game company other…
I do believe I stated I'd learned how to tweak sliders so MY characters look more or less normal, but NPC's and the other hundred or so players that haven't....ARE THE ONES I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE MOST. Also, I can tell your shots were taken at the lowest graphical settings for City of. Here, let me demonstrate what the game…
Y'want to know why THIS ex-CoX player plays this game? Because it's the only thing left out here in the superhero genre that's even marginally playable. Soon as someone comes out with an alternative? I'm outtie.
I said Champions models were not much better than CoX models, not the other way 'round, Smacky. :) But, to clarify, I really dislike the oddly proportioned limbs, elongated fingers, crescent moon shaped faces and general cartoony look of everything in the game. I do prefer a more realistic look to everything. To me?…
Apparently Mr. Emmert still considers City of Heroes as his, and in this article, doesn't just not mention Champions Online at all, but totally disses it in favor of Star Trek online. I'll link the article, but here's the paragraphs containing the quotes I'm referring to: "One thing both Cryptic and Perfect World have been…
Fix'd for ya. Free of charge, too. Honestly, this game's character models aren't much of an improvement over CoX's. The game could use a complete overhaul in the art department to bring it up to speed to today's graphics, IMHO.
This entire thread is a /perfect/ example of why I gave up PvP so very long ago. The absolute idiocy that most (not all, but most) participants in this activity display.
Temporary content is also more suited to either a holiday event or a game company that also regularly communicates with its playerbase AND releases actual permanent content on a regular basis. Neither of those conditions are met here, and that is the true problem. Temp content is like a band aid over a gushing stump that's…
Dear God, no. Jack Emmert nearly ruined CoX until he was fired and Matt Miller was moved up to his vacated position. Only then did the game truly begin to soar. Also....someone else mentioned this...but NCSoft is unwilling to part with ANY of its closed IPs. The company has a track record of sitting on shut down titles and…
I find it extremely ironic that there are people complaining about the only "content" we get being in the form of lock boxes.....and here you lot are opening thousands, just to try and figure exact odds. No wonder Cryptic thinks lockbox keys are selling well. :)
That's catwoman, for sure....but I'll be damned if I recognize that scene. I thought I'd seen ALL the animated Batman stuff out there, too. :) Might I inquire where that's from?
There's no wonder at all. The answer is yes. He/she/it does this to itself/herself/himself. I have no pity or sympathy, and firmly support what is happening as just consequences for idiotic behavior or actions. In THIS instance, the system actually IS being used justly.
....wow. Just wow. Yes, the government conspires against the population...but it's nothing as sinister as reptile people or aliens or anything fantastical. That's just the smoke screen. It's simply make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Or dead.
Hardly precog, my good man. A quote from the developer giving the interview makes me think that way. "aside from the ALMOST MANDATORY NEW LOCKBOX" See it now? Additionally, temporary content, while better than no content at all, is just a band aid over a gushing wound. Happy there's some effort, but it's still needing more…
Funny, in my six years of playing the game, once redside came out...I -never- had a problem finding a full team of eight players to run villain side content with. EVER. In the time from the release of City of Villains to the shutdown....my friends list was full of people that loved redside and played it almost…
...but what you can do for Champions Online? ...nothing. All I can do is watch as it languishes on life support and wonder when someone's going to pull the plug.
I play to have fun. To relax and let stress fall away. I don't grind in MMO's because it's like having a second job. I -do- run mission content, however, to experience the story. Other style games depend on mood. Sims 2 or 3 is great when I'm in a creative mood, as I do nothing in that game other than build houses. S'why I…
Flipping back through those posts...the only ones I see are trailturtle's and lordgar's. TT's not a developer, he's a community rep. (Sorry for the mistake if you are actually on the development team, TT. :) ) Lordgar's postings are confined for the most part to PTS and live updates. gentlemancrush posted on 11-16-2012 to…
Holy mackerel people. It makes me flounder about to think this was done to helpless dolphins. Next thing you know, they'll be dishonorably discharged from service and wander the oceans, homeless urchins.
1) No, the video itself did not offend. The attempt at music for it did, however. 2) I have no clue. However, if you simply -must- give someone money....I do have a paypal account. :)
I sincerely don't think any of my questions will get picked or answered, but hey. One can dream, can't one? :p 1) With everyone asking for this, that and the other thing....I simply want to know -why- it took so long to get some kind of communication from developers. Surely Cryptic's ENTIRE team isn't on just STO and…
/e faint Character puts the back of his/her hand to forehead, sways a bit, then falls flat on back. Stays that way until movement cancels final pose. /e collapse Character simply sways and then falls face first, flat. Stays that way until movement cancels final pose. /e hammertime 'nuff said. MC Hammer dance. Loops until…
A deaf and mute man's mutation kicks in, regrowing his vocal chords. He likes the color red, and designs a costume around just that. "Crimson Cacophony". Joke toon only: Mild mannered scientist researching a way to enhance food production to help feed starving masses has his experiment backfire on him. Now, when he gets a…
Well, that kinda bites. I have both CO and STO through Steam. I use my Steam Wallet to buy zen....and said zen isn't useable in both games? I thought zen was like...global currency for Cryptic games?
It's my understanding that Jack Emmert himself plays STO. Perhaps if we all made a tossaway account and went to STO to chatban Jack himself it'd get changed?
Another one mainly for the roleplay crowd, but I can see other people using it while waiting for Alerts to queue.... /e talk Character stands with legs slightly apart, head animated in conversation with occasional random arm and hand motions, as if conversing with another. Not that silly "mini juggle" motion in the…
Yet another golden emote EVERYONE would buy just to have. /e facepalm Pretty sure it's descriptive enough on its own, but....character bends arm at elbow, placing palm on face, lowering head and shaking it for three to five seconds.
/e drink Character has coffee cup(or better yet, bottled water) appear in hand, occasionally sipping. Animation loops until movement cancels animation. All roleplayers, and even some other customers/players would kill for this one.
Another good one. /e patience Character stands straight-backed, stiffly formal with arms crossed at chest. Feet together. Again, almost everyone will want this one. Character maintains pose until movement cancels.
Okay. Only one per post? That's gonna inflate the thread much, but here goes: /e walllean Character crosses arms across chest, then legs while leaning back. Can be positioned to be leaning on almost anything. Potential buyers? Almost everyone. Character maintains position until movement.
