Well I won't dispute that I have disdain for how this game was managed. It isn't like I made a secret of the fact. I also really hated seeing people lead on by their hopes. I have always felt that was a very horrible form of manipulation.

But I liked playing the game. It was a recreation I could share with my wife and something we could still do that both of us enjoyed. We had even divided what we did with our toons. It reminded us of when we were first starting out so many years ago.

What killed me, was simply put the game got to be like eating ice cream when you had a rotting tooth. You might love the ice cream but you never knew when a spoonful was going to leave you writhing in agony.

The "FIX" for blasters was a perfect recent example. After 8 fricking years finally blasters were getting improved. IMPROVED MY Fing aunt Fanny. No No moving blaster's stats up a little so they are in line with all the other ATs is too simple. The devs have to show how brilliant they are and DESTROY EVERYONE'S concept for their blaster.

Hats off.

You can ?

How did that work with the loyalty program badges or the badges you could only get by being incarnate ?

Edit: The Really hard way, always looked like a scheme to see if they could leach more out of people that were paying. That looked like it needed every storebought insp you could carry, and amplifiers and anything else you could use.

Or more people deprived of a past time they enjoy.

It's the internet.

You don't find porn, porn finds you.

The irony of people complaining about other games objectifying women or hypersexualizing the medium is at best hypocritical.


Not like CoH didn't do its bit. The truly strange thing is every time people complain about the sex in blade and soul, it just makes me more curious about a game I wouldn't have given a second look.

Neither and I never started beating my wife.

For 8 years these people have been shutting down any dissent on the forums. Now they can't. Surprise the people that liked the game but really didn't like how it had evolved are having their say.

I am sure they will go back to their campaign of getting other people's games shut down, all the while complaining anyone who disagrees with them is a hater.

I don't know why people think I am hating.

Most of what I post is in the form of basic observations and enumeration of incidents involving the developers and their behavior.

Admittedly the titan identifying folk seem to live off of misconstruing things.

Case in point,I provide examples of the most hateful person ever on earth was not uniform or consistent in his hatred, so you can hardly expect less hateful people to show greater consistency or hatred, becomes "So you are calling the titans Nazis"

And to think, I don't care about you at all.

LOL.

There are only a few guiding principles that I saw being violated that I felt were bad for the game.

1. You can't treat your customers badly because this is a game.
2. You have to respect the fact that people put enormous amounts of effort into their characters. If you violate that they will be very mad.
3. You have to respect any part of the game that people put enormous amounts of effort into.
4. You can't fundamentally change a game and expect people to stay around.
5. If you don't address your customers needs they will find someone who will.

Now, if you had a build dependent on hami-Os, Blessing of the zephyr pieces, were an energy melee user, a soloist looking forward to the incarnate system, a pvper, a base builder, a build meister that worked for exemplar friendly builds, someone who bought IOs from the cash store, a badger who got the AE badges, A badger that was permanently cut off from completion, a badger that was on a smaller population server, etc etc etc, you manage to be on the wrong side of those principles being violated.

As to hate ? Really I am feeling pretty good. The wife has a new game and CoH is like a rotten tooth that NCsoft has pulled for me.

Funny the angry vindictive part is what I like about them. Why the hell should you be nice to people you feel have shat upon you ? At the very least it should be a real nice stress relief for them. I can't say how pleasant it has been to vent more strongly here than I have in the past. Really these boards long needed an enema, and most of the posters needed to write a "Reality Check".

I don't even want them to fail, it would be nice to see them beat the odds. I just feel they have stacked the deck against themselves before they even start, and for the most part are living in fantasy instead of just visiting the way we all did.

It was never the game that was "Great"

It was the in game community most of which was not represented here.

I don't know about happy but so far I am pleasantly pleased.

You might not want to read on because while this is nothing but bare facts they might upset.

Recently a game I am playing released a new issue. This is their 4th they do content updates once a month. There were bugs in the PvP instead of just letting them sit, there were devs looking at the problem and implementing fixes that went in the next day.

When those fixes weren't quite right they took steps to further minimize the problems.

The similar situation here was wait awhile and tell the players how important PvP was to the developers.

It was quite pleasing to see the contrast.

Not really. Most of the design for this game wasn't his.

That was the other thing the Titan Crew has been really good at. Getting people to leave the game over the years. Not surprising nothing changes till the end.

It isn't a complaint it is an observation. It ties in with the observation that for the past 8 years the greatest skill they have exhibited anywhere has been making excuses about why things haven't been done.

Personally if I were to get behind or otherwise help, lookforward to or pre purchase, I would want to see people whose great skill was producing the item, not the manufacture of excuses.

Another day above ground.

Going to other games. Really 8 years of undelivered promises is quite enough, this time around, I think I'll try finding devs who can walk the walk as well as talk the talk.

Oh that is pretty easy.

There are a few people cough* Tim the Enchanter* cough * Anyone who identifies with the titan people* cough , who didn't like the conclusions this thread was drawing so they decided to do anything they could stop discussion of why the game died, and why the Titan efforts were a misguided pipe dream.

They couldn't counter the points being made so they trotted out the most inflamatory stuff they could find all the while calling other people Trolls.

You get to be the Titan Network's Ernst Hess

Yes and have fun calling godwin. It hardly negates the rabid hate happening over there.

That would be because reading the Titan network board would never give you that opinion / sarcasm

So in other words you were trying to split hairs so people could remain comfortable slandering NCsoft.

You know I don't like NCsoft either I just don't feel the need to lie about why
