Champions Online User title removal Q

cmdrscarlet

Maybe I'm just too lazy right now but ...

Has anyone found a way to remove this title from their profile?

i am assuming the first game played through arc is the one its picked on the forum title? in this case all those years ago the first game you installed through arc was champions andthen played first?

still remember the nostalgia of pre f2p co, those were fun times.

CO is still fun, but its been abandoned so long players have long since run out of things to do. If making hundreds of unique characters isn't enough for you, CO will eventually dissapoint.

Believe there's a discussion over in the Arc section of the forums where folks have complained about various titles for various games that many folks don't even remember having played...where the PWDF have suggested folks show some patience. /shrug

remember when TT and vibora bay was especially fun the after and then before, then the reason for the after and that wacky time machine. before that was the LC under the water, giant marines walking on the seafloor after the actual crisis past and monster island chasing down a mechanical dinosaur xD

all that fizzled out after the changes came in, i am not a fan of it, stil lnot a fan of it. its been years since i last went back and played the dozen or so character i had on the account on co. but enough of that.

I never played much less install the game, yet i have the title.

They also need to do with the oversized sigs people are having and instead increase the avatar size to 100x100.

All of the content you mentioned still exists though. Although the lemurian crisis is bugged so you can't get in without a full team.

I have never played any ARC game other than STO, and have no plans to ever do so. I unfortunately installed STO from ARC before I discovered the Collectors' Edition, but the latter at least allowed me to launch from the original STO launcher instead of ARC. How they decided I was a CO user is totally beyond comprehension...

but as mentioned, the changes they made post f2p i am not a fan of. but that wont prelude the possiblity to heading back to it at some point. i just hope its not another casual glance like it was almost a year back.

Combined with the fact that I no longer have to log into Paypal with my own info to purchase Zen (Arc magically does it for me) and in the wake of the compromise of federal data by the Chinese recently, am I the only one that finds the above quote adding a brick to the disturbing wall of shadiness evidence on the part of PWE?

Also never installed nor ever played CO.

Now would be a good time to actually instate our due titles that some of us have paid for, but have never received for months. Mine would be Voyager from the DR pack. This would be a direct example of false advertising by failing to provide everything that's listed. Sure, it's a drop in an ocean bug compared to an unplayable game for so many, myself included at certain points in time, but it's worth mentioning.

It's ridiculously dumbed down now. If you are remembering the challenge of facing say Shadow Destroyer or Therakial the Bright, well that's long since gone even on Elite difficulty. And the game has been abandoned. The best they do is token updates, otherwise just a new costume every month or so is the best you can hope for.

Champions was sadly thrown under the bus in favor of the licenses.

hehe, i remember before the xp loop was closed off in one of the episodics arcs with albert zerstoiten in another reality and the shadow destroyer was an evil james harmon that you get into one of the destroyer droids going around causing carnage and chaos to get back. of course the hero of the day was griswald who in the co reality is an old man dreaming of better days, you see him in the old tutorial but in the other reality was this big muscly brute with a backpack and fishermans hat.

and back in the day waiting for TT elite, that was fun trying to keep out of therakiels reach. the reward at the end for his sword costume and some other trinkets was fine, oh and the wings.

If your worried about this you can login to the paypal website and set it up to always require a login.

EDIT: You can also view your transaction history through the paypal website so you have evidence if PWE is taking money without your permission.

Aside from the removal of certain rewards, the changes were overall positive, allowing for far greater build and concept freedom.

Problem is they never really finished the update, and enemy AI and combat ability remains as stupidly lame as at/near launch, making some parts of the game boring for anyone with some damage resistance and a heal.

The game hasn't been dumbed down at all, but it hasn't got any smarter, which is now a bigger problem.

It actually was. Bosses and mob damage were reduced multiple times. They reduced it again with the Reloaded update. Bosses use to hit a lot harder than they do now. Shadow Destroyer and Therakiel, for instance, use to be dangerous to people who weren't paying attention. Now they aren't even a challenge to a soloist. Hell, you want a prime example of superior dumbing down look no further than the Dracul fight in Therakiel's Temple. The boss use to actually have phases to watch out for and a bite attack and his bat form, but all he does now is swing his sword, he does nothing else, and the staking to reduce his regeneration isn't even required anymore.

The changes also were not positive, they actually made many build choices superfluous, even more so than they ever have been, and the constant introduction of powers that just continually add more buffs while mobs continually do not change or are nerfed into oblivion so this over all strength makes for the problem.

And much more was wrong with On Alert than they simply did not finish it. On Alert flat out broke systems in the game, and only made the issues being experienced with the over injection of power with no challenge to match it worse. The constant nerfing of mob difficulty then a super power boost on top of that, and the underlying code underneath being mangled to the point that Champions is a mess.

Wow really? I fully support returning their old mechanics.

I want to be a "Torchlight User" if I may... thank you.
(will try run TL2 thru ARC... brb)

I know for a fact I've never played Champions Online, yet apparently I'm a 'Champions Online User'...

Hell, I go into my games list (in my account details) and STO is the only game listed there, so it really makes no sense where the forums have even picked up Champions...

cidstorm

Literally never even played the game.
