Fair enough biff fair enough i got baited and took the hook like a happy little trout. Funny enough there has been similiar issues on other MMOs Ive walked the worlds of years past and those ive heard tales of from others who have dabbled in the ones I have not. Some people seem to feel that events should be an optional…

I have, my goal here is to always remind mainly would be new comers who are checking the forums that this company can lose all you have paid for, and tell you sorry we cant restore what we lost that you paid for, but please pay us more for a fresh start from scratch. Because there was a real consequence. I paid real money…

Since I said nothing you are claiming I said Im assuming your either a troll or just took a few too many blows to the head. Since I dont hate on those who suffered injury Ill try and spell it out to you as slearly as possible. I was on CO while it was still in beta, still owned by atari, I had bought my account and payed…
-
funny since for some of us that hand over lead to the exact same thing through no fault of our own. For me the game may as well of been shut down, and for the sake of my fellow gamers who I feel nothing but sorrow for when they get taken for hard earned cash and told to keep paying and playing while having to start over…
-
Although I have no way of knowing my own theory as to why that population implosion happened was because what happened to my own account was not nearly as isolated an incident as many want to believe it was. You see during that time you speak of was the exact same time that we had to convert to a PW account. I dont imagine…

You can actually do this in Guild Wars 1. Not only does the game have NPC heroes. but there is an option one can buy to allow one to add their own characters to their personal list of heroes to join their party. Its actually one of the most praised features they ever added. Although I left that game behind due to my anti…

Wow, just wow. While i know this kind of thing happens daily in the corporate world, this one seems as reverse logic driven as when CoH was shut down. AoL= Arrogant old loons in my vocab now just as NC soft is Now Clearly Soft in the head. **** ever corporate dictator who makes their decisions with no care to customer…
-
Yes OP the game is and has been a stagnant thing for the span of its life. What people call growth might count if they hadnt also taken away things that once existed that many like myself who left in weary disgust still miss. Power replacers and the original fun flavor text filled items we could craft and find being…
-
Dear OP your not at all alone. In fact when Champions first launched many talked about Hudson city as a vital must add asap dark champions themed region to the game as the general game was just too childish a setting for anyone with a taste for the drama driven stories some need to embrace a setting where heroes and…
-
The idea that people cry now days over 2GM because it seems in over use make me shake my head at how little people have in their lives that they need to be envious of those with a taste for the pistoleer style. Even back at launch and in the early years 2GM without being more then a solid stable power for its teir was in…

Really love your current sig quote thing, feeling like a 2nd class customer is exactly why I am not one anymore. Take a mans money, and then tell him you lost his account and will not in any way try to make it right really tends to teach you the hard way how shady a company can be.
-
I feel you. One of my most favored characters on CoH was a regen scrapper. Moment of Glory and its near invulnerable status it granted for 10 seconds was something Id routinely hold back from using and keep ready to pop right after a self rez if the need came. I also recall on age of conan rogue types having a form of self…
-
yeah because its not like even the concept of power thieves who can steal abilities from other to turn themselves into superior omni powered beings is new to the genre. that is exactly what rogue, and synch where long before the rise of the tv show Heroes, and their Syler character. Hence no matter how much people like you…
-
literally everything you say after this in this thread should be ignored. You do fine. Wow what a statement, ofcourse a free form basically living in an ATs skin will still do fine. However what you describe is exactly the opposite of a well refined optimal free form build. And i am literally talking from the perspective…
-
Id just like to point out i didnt start this thread. My posts where originally in another thread where Etaco was stating his intent to leave CO for good. I was in full support of his reasons why. I dont care about city of titans, nor would I even return to city of heroes if it sprang back tomorrow, with its death i found…
-
you dont have very strong reading skills do you bud. This has nothing to do really with the nerf to vehicles, its that his rose tinted glasses where pulled off his face by those he had once viewed not merely as allies, but friends. When a friend slaps you in the face, takes your glasses, and stomps them to dust you dont…

sounds like another has been touched by the Silence! keep up the good work my silencers. You do this old man proud to have been the general who founded the one true order of virtual super villains in this game. The Silence is real, and no matter who you are, where you hide, if you roam this world, it will one day take your…
-
Believe it or not your best bet with a superman build is to very much mimic the last son of kryptons powers, or pick another infamous or famous comic character nigh unstoppable and do the same. What I mean is identify what powers in the game are closest fitting to the powers of one of the legendary unstoppables of comicdom…
-
frankly you come off more and more man like some head in the sand fan boy with ADD and bad long term memory. CO is fun enough from the moment one starts sure. funner then other games? Not by a long mile I can list MMO, single player games etc that all do that grab you and suck you in way better. A few for me this last…
-
actually action MMO are a major reason why actual RP and even socializing in MMO is dieing. DDO for example started so many years ago from launch with built on fairly decent voice chat. They did this because in an active fast moving game, taking time to type is often more a handicap then anything else. To this day there it…
-
dont like it, make your own company and focus on non traditional genre MMO. Sadly you will almost certainly spend more then you make, flounder, end up a niche title, and pray to be bought out by some MMO titan who will just use your title to milk the fools who are dumb enough to invest in it even when the parent company…
-
The OP isnt blowing smoke guys. I recieved more or less the exact same info from customer service back when my old account sky-tom-car as my old forum handle was attached to got lost during the conversion from atari to pwe. It didnt happen to alot of us, but to those that did we where given a sorry, and no nothing will be…
-
seriously. A barriar you say. Look you either started in CoHs early days back when virtually no active action rpg type MMO really existed yet, or you started later when they made it so bloody easy to lvl up the first 10 or so lvls to get on the path to feeling like a more potent super being. Even prior to the release of…
-
Rifts is actually something I have never played in the actual rules of, but own several books Ive picked up at various times, and have long used them as sources of ideas for adventurers in other game systems. Its various books on mechs for example can add tons of ideas to advancing power armors in something like shadowrun.
-
interesting, you see first and foremost and not to sound insulting, but Id never RP with anyone in a serious manner whose characters had little to do with the lore of the setting of the MMO we are playing together. I had this issue alot with what we called wannaPRs ie wannabe role players who didnt really want to play a…
-
main reason I consider CO dead and have not bothered to play in years. the comic movie craze has been in high gear for a while now, and CoHs death gave every reason for PWE to pump tons into this game to bring out its fullest potential, but nope in classic PWE fashion they would rather milk a sick cow till its dead, then…
-
simple question where is the money going to come from to pay for the dev time to do this over content everyone can enjoy including new animations for new and wanted power sets etc? Your first question to ask, and the first part of any idea one has to suggest in this game, needs to be, how can cryptic be paid to make it…
-
while a comic enthusiast I was never quite so hard core even in my time that I really knew the names of top artists and writers by rote. I certainly knew Todd Mac****off more for the fall out when he tried to steal the intellectual property of Angela from another and claim she was his character. I do get what some are…
-
Well one sounds abit like hamidon, One sounds abit like a boss at the end of a villain side strike force I cant really recall well atm, and one sounds abit like the giant octopus out in the waters of Independence Bay, all stuff put in by cryptic back in CoHs early days. So I would think Cryptic not incapable, however they…
-
I actually recall reading the issue where logan put a solid claw through rachels heart, it was largely a surprise because as some forget, logans mind was virtually impossible to read to know what he was going to do. For a pyschic used to be able to always be aware of the minds of others, one who isnt on that radar is like…
-
No way he was wearing a thing modesty is for mortals. But you think Kirk and his crew minded, it was the most swinging ship in sci fi dom that they lived on after all.
-
So to sum it up, if you never saw ghost busters. If someone ask if your a god. You SAY YES!
-
Im right with you on this one. Just because someone is still a mortal, and was born of human parents, does not equal mundane. I mean if anyone thinks a nuclear weapon is mundane has one fract up scale of what is amazing and powerful. Most beings in comics cant put out that kind of energy discharge, those that do are all…
-
what is mundane about the origins of beings like magneto? The rise of mutants is itself steeped in events like the use of nuclear weapons, and that is no mundane thing. Not to mention now days there is some idea being thrown around the x factor is acutally a trait in humans with traces of inhuman DNA, and beings like black…
-
actually although I dont keep up myself Ive heard thor got the odin force whatever the frell that is, and now is the dominant asguardian and one of the most powerful cosmic class beings in all of marvel quite possibly rival to the likes of galactus
-
I cant say I really agree with the ground hogs day view, I mean it could work if you do always exit out with a ko and let the mission be restarted from scratch, but thats something not alot of groups are going to like and Id see as a purely solo rp approach to playing a paticular concept more then anything. I mean in…
-
Never played PnP champs, but I have a D20 book called BESM, it is more or less anime D20, and its alot like you say there, little things like not needing to breathe or eat are trivial in cost. Even something as potent as say being unable to die during say daylight is only about 3 levels worth of build points. a full…
-
actually I was making the same point as #1 Just because we can be beaten down physically does not mean we cant say we are immortal, after all we dont ever die in the game world we just get temporarily overwhelmed. Its up to a given player to decide what that actually represents to the players character. For some it is…
-
Interesting view. Yet and Ill even back gradi abit on this one, after all we never face true death in an MMO, we respawn. I know some including a character of my own, who treated that as indeed being an undying force. However on the flip side I have known, especially over on DDO, perma death players, a true rarity in…
-
Let me take a moment to clarify my own view on certain things. By not jiust my own, but by a certain faction of comic fans in general superman is very much a god, a true cosmic classed meta being with really no rival accepted to really exist. As such anyone who has every made a krypton like being in power sets is buildinga…
-
Well considering there are builds that can solo a cosmic class, even if its just grond, Id tend to rate such players characters as most certainly cosmic class. That was common as a way to be more then lvl cap even in this games early months actually. I can recall when I first went back as a lvl 40 and soloed grond for…
-
Sounds similar to how I approached the concept of T'keron Valmaz. If your looking to real world ancient civs, tons to choose from. CoH made heavy use of Mu which is one of the more globe spanning of the lost mythical advanced ones.
-
Well I dont know, nothing says gods cant time travel, or as others have pointed out Champions lore uses concepts very akin to D&D that I am more familiar with. So even if you met a Zeus or Hades youd more likely be meeting an avatar of that being and in D&D a greater god can have like upwards of 10 of those at once on the…
-
indeed I am a big fan of the concept fitting the available power of the character. It actually drove me to become a better character builder. To find ways to push limits farther and farther. A good example is after incarnate content was added, I was running in a lambda trial. Id already begun to flesh out my incarnate…
-
Actually my only character like that was Bentley Berkeley. Who did have physical existence in CoH in 2 old story arcs almost completely forgotten as time went on and newer shiny areas and content where added. However I still did now and then meet both older timers and new comers who played that content who recognized my…
-
Indeed it always amazes me how the hamster types happy on the wheel cant see the side of those who simply can not play the exact same content over and over. I see alot of the same issue over on DDO, its a great character builder, really appeals to the theory crafter types, but in the end with limited and static content,…
-
And again Id like to ask what content released in any MMO remains super active even a month after its initial release. Hell nothing ever added to CO including Vibora bay took me more then a handful of days to devour with free form characters made to be actual heroes who knew entering a battle that they had already won as…
-
Ah such obvious no nothing BS being spouted here by someone who almost certainly left CoH after AE came out because the main thing it did was open up fast leveling to those not willing to submit themselves to power leveling super groups. It was well known since the coming of the 40+ content in CoH that the big power gamer…
-
Well I cant say I have played alot of CC primary builds in various games, but two that spring to mind are ofcourse good ol gone but never forgotten CoH, and DDO In CoH I only ever played one primary CC AT and that was a dom shortly after CoV came out. I only played it into the 30s, and my experience was that in ways a good…
