Making a new power require 3 animation and fx for each Rank. This alone was touted as the reason why there aren't any new powers as of late. PVD only require one animation in comparison, and its "profitable".
The new power Sonic Beam came out about a week ago. I'd rather another power set revamp over new powers personally. The Earth power set, in particular, since it seems subpar compared to others.
Even if I'd like to use the device on a few characters, the chance of getting ONE drop, let alone multiples is very low. So many players never see a single drop for themselves, while others can get multiples. And, if it is new, then the price of the new PVD is so outrageous on the AH due to it's rarity. I suppose THAT is…
Not unless they (new owners) think that what they do (putting money into CO) is going to bring in more return on ivestment, which no owner of CO since the beginning seems to have believed. Throwing good money after bad, and all that. I feel kind of bad of all the wasted resources that went into dead end vehicles and the…
Watched the Twitch livestream with the execs today, and I was a little surprised. I was hoping to hear CO would at least remain in maintenance mode, but they were talking about a new mission, which (to the best of my knowledge) hasn't come about since the Cobra mess at the docks! All remains to be seen, of course (I've…
I agree. I was praying, still am, that Gearbox was aware enough to see what they inherited on the Cryptic deal, and develop a CO 2rd Age, or some sequel game that appeals to both returning and current player as well as new players who want a good, quality cbm mmo. But there doesn't seem to be an awareness surrounding what…
Well, only partially leaning on how Champions RPG works on the surface. The RPG is a point-progression system and Champions Online is a level-progression system. So, there were going to be changes. It was never going to be 1:1: "We are using systems that are essentially the same, but fit the MMORPG genre somewhat better.…
Perfect World Entertainment and Gearbox Publishing largely operated the same. With a focus on newer IP and letting Cryptic run Champions Online independently. In turn, it was unlikely that PWE/GBP would fund an overhaul. DECA Games however is operating completely differently. Where Champions Online will be a focused…
I don't hate devices at all, but I like them as something to complement or fill a gap for your build, not something that's central to a build in the way that PVDs are. I've suggested this before but... yeah. In-character-wise, the concept of PVDs can be stupid too. It's like being Human Torch, except he needs a…
