  • Radioscience and team-- I haven't played Champions Online in a long time, but I just wanted to let ya'll know, this thread is causing quite a stir in communities around the Internet and that's what brought me here. CO wasn't able to retain me and many of my friends from City of Heroes, all because of a problem that Cryptic…
  • With 3d printers, maybe this will be a reality some day. :eek:
  • No argument there, technically speaking. :wink: I hear you loud and clear, but this isn't about right and wrong. Well partly it is--I do think part of the OP is Belwen letting off steam. But it's also about communicating efficiently in order to get satisfactory results. That's a game that you play in every communication…
  • Well, I goofed by giving them a 10, but I feel they took advantage of me by sending me that email right after I had been playing Neverwinter for 6 hours straight. :biggrin: I do think it's a weird question in that it isn't aligned with the email's subject line. The reason I say I goofed is because PWE and Cryptic were…
  • Smackwell, with all due respect (and you deserve a lot for your thankless work), you're veering toward waxing philosophical about how things should be. I'm talking about how best to approach getting your problem solved. Those problems I mentioned are likely going to be obstacles for customers for as long as PWE exists.…
  • I have all of the CoH and all of the CoV Heroclix. I don't remember WHERE I got the blueside ones since I was never able to find a CoH Collector's Edition that wasn't a gazillion dollars.
  • Thank you for the word of appreciation. And yes, note that my revision asks for nothing. It's just pointing out a bug. If I were actually attempting to contact a GM, I might ask if they could manually complete the mission for me. Point being, you have to be very ridiculously patient, and very obsessive-compulsively clear.…
  • Pics or it didn't happen. :biggrin:
  • I'm of two minds here. I was right with you, right up until the point where I read your actual ticket. Bear in mind that while a rant follows, it's directed at anyone who doesn't really think through the process of submitting a ticket to a busy CS department, not just you. In the argument that people are having above (with…

  • Your relationship with Cryptic (such as it is beyond "customer") has been adversarial, not cooperative. Whether or not this is completely on your shoulders, I doubt it's going to lead to employment. What would you do the first time the team didn't prioritize a fix that YOU wanted RIGHT NOW? What would you do the first time…
  • Whatever this is, it isn't related to the Phoenix Project or Heroes and Villains. Not even my vast tin foil hat collection is fit for that. And this is coming from someone who considers both fan-made projects very important to the super-powered MMO genre. No publisher with dozens of profitable games in its stable is going…
  • The one thing I'll never talk crap about is NCSoft's customer support. Although the initial replies were often form responses (because come on, they had a huge player base with a lot of common problems), they always spoke to me personally when I needed to explore or vent about an issue. I still remember the time GM Lloyd…
  • http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,7288.msg118818.html#msg118818 Icon 1.5 released with a lot of new features. :biggrin:
  • What's an AF?
  • Hooorb dooorp.
  • I came back here to answer Lafury and Jonsill's replies to my positro...err, POSITING. Damn pronunciation. But instead, I direct you all to the masterpiece above. Not saying "I got nothin," far from it. But damn if that Crosschan doesn't deserve to bask in some glory for a bit. Well played, sir. Well played. (I'll be back.)
  • Would you leave if a better, bigger, richer-featured, more customizable, better-written super hero MMORPG came out? Would CO still be fine and dandy then?
  • Neverwinter's updates are going to be called modules, not chapters. I wish they'd do something big with Champions Online. I remember, when I was playing City of Heroes right after it went F2P hybrid, I used to check in on the Champs website, because at that point in time, the two games were competing furiously. I wasn't…
  • Cryptic's whole stable of games is grade-A awesome in my book, including Champions. Champions isn't their best foot forward, of course, but it's a good super hero game, worth playing. That's what I'd tell anyone. Now between you and I, Cryptic has two of the world's biggest nerd IPs in history sitting in its lap.…
  • They were giving Borderlands #1 away for free a few months back. I regret buying it. Their X-Files and BSG runs, on the other hand, simply felt like really well-made episodes from those series, like you'd simply missed the episodes or something. And they were converted into comics. :P Don't judge a publisher by one series,…
  • NW's foundry is lacking in one HUGE way, and I'm afraid I'm unable to overlook it! It's pretty darn skimpy in the spandex, death ray and space pirate department! P.S. Oh, and in case ya didn't hear me before, Statesman... YES, PLEASE! :cool:
  • *Waits to see how Savagedeacon gets out of this one.* :biggrin: P.S. I have IDW Comics' X-Files and Battlestar Galactica comics. I wonder how it would go if Skinner or Adama suddenly began addressing their underlings as "superheroes" in one of the panels heehee. I can imagine the look on Mulder or Apollo's face. :-S
  • @Sparhawk Google it and just look at some of the covers, and reminisce. Doesn't Cryptic seem like the only studio in the world that's fit to bring a game like that to life? I don't know why, it just seems like the perfect fit. :smile:
  • You can all choke on superadine! I'm still waiting on someone to make Star Frontiers into an MMORPG! I can't wait to make my Dralasite say "HOOORB!" (Sorry, probably the wrong place for that joke...)
  • I heard it's because all of those spots are actually being reserved VIP for Caliga.
  • Morvian, I'll be happy to attend any rally that is planned, and to praise Champs in a thread, as well as offer some constructive feedback if it's welcome there. The people who are grimacing at your bright ideas, there is a kernel of useful data in what they're telling you. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't go right ahead…
  • Not much to add here, but I was waiting in line behind Caliga at the ring races yesterday and I saw Sapphire asking for his autograph. Of course he dropped the pen, and she was quick to offer to fly ALL THE WAY DOWN to pick it up for him. By that time, he'd eaten whatever she wanted him to sign. A book or something, I…
  • @locsmith, make no mistake, that's primarily because there's a hefty percentage of players in most MMOs that just keep the revolving door spinning, and this game is not one of the most notable exceptions (though I do believe this has the potential to change; more costumes, story arcs and UGC could create high retention for…
  • I realize the following is an opinion which some will find off-putting, but I've never confused someone who purchases a LTS with someone who wants to support a game. If you buy a LTS because it's a great value for YOU, then that's great. FOR YOU. Publishers like to offer them because MMOs are as expensive as movies to make…
  • When you're supporting or fighting for something that you feel is worth the effort, the value of hope and change isn't up to anyone but you. Like I said recently at the Titan Network forums, there's only one person fit to say "It's time to give up," [and his name isn't Eliot]. It's the last man or woman standing in the…
  • You can contact me at Captain Electric@Captain-Electric You can contact me at Sapien Spider@Captain-Electric I'm working on a third character and will try to remember to update this post when he debuts. I don't post much but I check the forums almost every day and I know some of ya'll from City of Heroes. In-game I can…
  • tl;dr... :rolleyes:
  • If you signed up for this, then you should probably log in and claim your comics before 2:00 PM CST today; earlier to be safe (but I'm basing this on when I got my email--they might have staggered mail-outs, so check your email, you could have longer). I just bought 414 comics for $0, including a bunch of annuals. :P
  • Please pass this around to any forums and friends you want, anyone who loved City of Heroes. Call to Action: Massively comment simply says NCSoft Call Jack! -- Click "Like"! Just ask 'em to click! Easiest Call to Action ever!
  • My pleasure! And just to remind Stoopidme (what an unfortunate name! :smile:) and the 70 lurkers this thread has had so far, starting on or around the 11th (check your email for details), you'll have 48 hours to grab your comics. One good way to plan your shopping spree is to go to Marvel.com > Comics > Shop Digital Comics…
  • Thought I'd hit the ground running. You two should be proud to know that my first three posts here were: 1) Introduced myself. :biggrin: 2) Said "YES, PLEASE" to the Foundry. 3) Gave a shout out to Alleyne's Cryptic mail campaign and extended deadline. It's a big multiverse. Why try and save just one city? :cool: Now if…
  • The time frame for this has been extended until April 11. Link: http://championsonlineroleplayers.shivtr.com/forum_threads/1395179 Mailing a letter is cheap, but do you need someone to light a fire under your cape? My name is Captain Electric, and I'm here to help. Cryptic has assured Eurogamer that Champions Online and…
  • YES, PLEASE Like Asteroidus above, I also think I've found the perfect thread to make my first post. And I, too, would throw a ton more coinage into Champions Online when and if the Foundry shows up. Not only by way of any paid perks or features that might be rolled into the Foundry, but also simply because it would lure…
