Part of the whole idea behind them is that it takes a bit of time to turn them back on. Time in which you have to be out of combat or else you'll never be able to do it. So setting them to always on, and making them effectively a passive means having to rebalanced what they do. Myself I'd rather have to turn them on, then…
-
I'm not fond of lockboxes either, but I'd hardly call them questionable. They're not a scam or anything, you know exactly what you're getting here. They've also been around for a while now in STO and paying customers there haven't gotten anything special because of them, so don't plan on seeing anything here. You also see…
-
What replayability? I enjoy alts as much as most people here do, but I can only do westside so many times before I give up on the game completely. Alerts are not a suitable alternative to a path from 1-20.
-
Then quite frankly CO is doomed, and will be shut down in 6 months. I quite simply can not see this game going for another 6 months and being able to turn a profit if they don't add in something other then alerts or events. Vehicle alerts/events won't cut it. Nighthawk type events won't cut it either. How hard the two guys…
-
I agree. While the vehicles are nice, they're not by any means new content really. They are IMO seeming more and more to have been a huge waste of resources that could of been used to make a whole new zone, or at least a few new AP's. People will only travel the same path so many times before they quit playing completely.…
-
Which is why I said early 90's. The dark stuff didn't really start until later. A lot of that was started by Image and Frank Miller with Batman. Until then the darkest stuff you saw was Ghost Rider. Dark != More mature. We have plenty of dark stuff in this game, between some of the AP and VB. What we need IMO is more…
-
While I'll agree that they need more content desperately. Darker is not better, and is not needed, or even wanted by me. A lot of us playing this game started reading comic's in the 70's though early 90's. We're not interested in the darker side of super heroes. If anything we prefer our good guys to be good guys, not some…

But you'll end up spending less money over all that way. If you have to buy keys, you may spend upto $10 or $15 even before you get the item you want. Which is much less then spending $3-4 on that item.
-
I'll 2nd or even 3rd that. If I weren't a LTS I would be a sliver account most likely. There seems to be little reason to pay $15 a month to play CO, considering how much sliver accounts get. Sure you won't get everything, but you get enough that I'm not sure it's worth the cost of gold. Not with more and more stuff being…

Going to throw this out, saw it mentioned last night in CORP that a CoX refuge didn't know about this yet... http://www.primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Main_Page It's the same thing basically as Virtuverse was for CoX. A Wiki for posting your characters with extended bio's and the like.
-
While that's true, it also doesn't give them an excuse to come over here and pee in our cornflakes. I understand that people will compare something to something they already knew, that's human nature. Considering how close CO is to CoX, it's a given people will do that. It's also human nature to want things to be how you…
-
If you're looking to get into the RP I'd recommend checking out CO Role Play http://championsonlineroleplayers.shivtr.com/
-
Actually pretty much none of this post makes any sense. However what Ashensnow says does, and the fact that you can't refute it doesn't change anything. As a LTS I'd be fine with rising the resource cap on slivers, or giving them some way of buying a cap increase. That said, you are doing nothing to help your argument with…
-
Better is rather subjective. I'm working on a new character I started a few weeks ago, she's currently 29. I've found that there's enough content in the game now that I've actually skipped fairly large chunks of it. I'm having fun leveling up myself. Just finished the downtown part of MC, and will head to MI until I can go…
-
I guess I'll have to log into the PTS after all then.
-
They're going to have visible riders? If so then I'll be a very happy camper, because a number of my character concepts include things like riding a bike, but if I can't see the rider I won't bother buying one. As far as the Doom and Gloom... It is bad, but it's far from the worse. the SWTOR boards for example were a whole…
-
Doing it that way only works if it makes the game better. Quite often the only way to fix thing is by nerfing stuff. The idea that stuff shouldn't be nerfed, but instead everything else should be made better is almost always the worse possible way to do it, because instead of a single overpowered <something> now everything…
-
I can't say much about CO, because I just delete all mine. Although a friend of mine was making upward of 50g for 25 of them on the AH... But in STO I know they were fairly popular because in that game every time someone won a ship from a lockbox you'd get a message on your screen about it. That happened often enough for…
-
I got my LTS when the game was in beta. So i've been getting the stipend since it went into effect. I've bought some hideouts, costume sets, ect... I even got a jet, and I currently have 3,500zen in my account. Zen I've not spent a extra dime to get. So for me to buy a vehicle, is simply a question of if I want it or not.…
-
I'd agree, if you have a character who uses any sort of gadgets or gimicks, then gas pellets are a great choice. They're quick, easy to use and add a nice bit of DoT. I just wish Gas Arrow in the archery set worked even half as well.
-
Myself I would of been happy if they were effectively nothing more then just a travel power. Would of taken a lot less time and resources to pull that off.
-
Such as? Lockboxes are not new or unique to PWE games In fact pretty much nothing they've done hasn't been done somewhere else in one form or another. Yes, which you seem to be missing. It's about getting something at a reduced price by putting a limit on it. It has nothing to do with changing the way the rest of the…
-
And that has what to do with this suggestion exactly? You can't simply pointing at stuff you don't like as a reason to not do something else, something that is completely unrelated. No I do no such thing. I know that a uprising on the forms can and does change things. But mostly I know that if they offer something like…
-
And that statement is a leap of illogic of truly epic proportions. There is nothing that would even remotely suggest such a thing. New costume sets are still account wide, and cost the same now as they always have. So even if they were to release individual items, there is exactly zero reason to suspect that they'd make…
-
Based on what exactly? This has never been done before, so there's no reason to assume it would become the norm... Other then massive paranoia that is. You can't use the pricing of other content to justify that point because this is not the same thing in the slightest. Pointing at the price of party balls or Become devices…
-
When was it ever said that they'd be per-character? You're the only one saying that, so I'm not sure why you're making a point out of it. The only reason this idea doesn't make sense to you, is because you are either not reading the suggestion, or are being intentionally obtuse about it.
-
It looks like you didn't actually read the suggestion. The suggestion is that there be the option of buying a TP for a single character but at a reduced rate. Myself I can't see any value in such a thing, unless it was Very cheap, like 25-50z per TP. But even if I'd never do it, that doesn't mean that as an option it's a…
-
And that has what to do with the request? Or are you simply spewing nonsense in this tread? I don't think anyone is saying that buying a whole set, one piece at a time would be cheaper. But if I only want 1 or 2 items in the set, even if they sold them for as much as 75z per, that's still a better option then buying a full…
-
That's true, but I had thought they were going to allow you to still be involved even if you didn't have a vehicle, like if you have a flight power or something.
-
That's nice, but also completely meaningless. Apparently you can't actually counter any of them so instead you're going to do the posting equivalent of plugging your ears then. Not sure why you think taking options away from people is a good thing. I'd say you're entitled to your opinion, except in this case you're trying…
-
Something that is optional is seldom a bad idea. It can be, but normally isn't. Does it matter? As long as the person thinks the price is worth what they're getting, the price is fair. 50z for the 90's gloves may or may not be a fair price, depending on how badly you want those gloves and how much you want other bits in…
-
In terms of MMO content is a word that has a meaning, it's not something you can change the meaning of just because you want to. Content in MMO terms, is something you do, not what you do it with. Alerts are content even if people don't enjoy them. A new powerset however is not content, because that's not something you do,…
-
Well quite frankly there is no reason to. That's why I don't subscribe to WoW. However if there are some missions put in that require a vehicle, and some people are excluded from it because they won't buy one. Frankly I don't see this as a problem. It used to be that people were excluded from the AP's unless they bought…
-
I'm surprised this hasn't already happened. Every F2P MMO that I've seen with some sort of currency cap in it, sells something that lets you increase that. There's no reason I can think of not to do this, and it would be a quick and easy way for CO to make some more money. As far as having the cap increased diving up the…
-
Actually at first, Westside was for lvl 13 or so and up. When you finished the tutorial you had the option of going to either the Canada Crisis or Desert Crisis. After you finished the Crisis and the other close missions, then you were ready to go to Westside.
-
Because City of is shutting down the servers on Nov 31st, so that means on Dec 1st those people will no longer have a game to play. A lot of them have either looked over CO or will then and some of them will be thinking about a LTS.
-
I wonder what the overhead would be for real time text translations. That alone makes me think such a thing is impracticable. When you throw in terms, shorthand, typos/misspelling and such... I just don't think such a thing will ever actually be practicable.
-
Well we all did get Beta access to STO, so I think it was assumed for some time that LTS in CO and STO would get beta access.
-
Of course they do. But adding in new content does not mean you have to raise the level cap. We don't need to add in a new type of currency to do this. They can add in all those things and have them reward Questionite. More content is of course a good thing. But you don't need to raise the level cap or add in a new currency…
-
There was plenty enough content to get you to lvl 50 in CoV at release, which is more then you could say about CoH actually. The fact that CoH had more content doesn't really change the amount of content in CoV. You can't properly implement true Super Villain content into a MMO, period. It just won't work. You could in…
-
Those things haven't really changed all that much.
-
Interest in CoV was never that big in the first place, and it had quite a lot of content at release. Maybe not quite as much as hero side, but it still had a ton of content, more then enough to get to lvl 50. It never really took off, for many reasons. Lack of content was not really one of them. Being separated from CoH…
-
The Empire isn't really evil in SWTOR. You can go the dark side route if you want, but you also have the option of going light side, and the two are quite different from each other in terms of what you do. I agree however that the red side in City of, wasn't what people wanted. But simply making the bad guys more bad…
-
Level gating content won't really help with stuff to do at lvl 40. We can already wait until lvl 40 to do the current AP's, so forcing people to wait until then doesn't really solve the issue. Giving special costume pieces at lvl 40 will not be well received at all. People in CO are used to not having to wait until lvl X…
-
Yeah you're right... I guess that is true, most companies Exec's don't care about the individual customer. But even with that being true, it still doesn't change the fact that ignoring reasonable offers to buy CoX/Paragon Studios seems like it could be a bad business decision. Maybe it's not, maybe they have their books…
-
Not to me, not really. Because while it may very well seem like they're doing that. I have yet to see any evidence that actually supports these claims that NCSoft has turned down or ignored reasonable offers. In fact the only thing we can truly say we know, is that some people have made offers, and NCSoft turned them down.…
-
They also have a Lord Recluse standup for City of Villains in the comic shop on Big Bang.
-
I'll also throw this little tidbit out there. I got my LTS in Beta, for $200. CO is a 1 month past 3 years, so even at $10 a month sub, I would of spent, $370 in sub fees and bought ~$120 worth of Zen. So for $200 I've gotten somewhere around $490 worth of CO.
-
I'd shoot a bit latter then that, or else have it go on until early Dec... With CoX shutting down on Nov 31st, I imagine a lot of people will hang out there until the very end. So if they wanted to see a big increase in LTS then they should start in mid-November and have go until say Dec 5th.
-
I think you kinda answered your own question right there. Why? Just because you want it? They don't offer sales because people want to get a deal. They offer sales to improve their bottom line. If they feel that there's enough LTS in CO right now, then what reason is there to offer a sale on a LTS? In STO, there's really…
