I don't know, perhaps we need to pull out the big guns.

Hmmm....
Yup. Here we go.

Down-Time
The bars were empty, except for a few near comatose patrons who had sat it out through Happy Hour and were now snoring into their glasses.
All except one. A figure in a red blazer, with the top thre buttons of his white chirt undone as he leaned his back against the bar, reading the newspaper. Cigarette smoke circled lazily from behind the front pages.
"Hmm."
A perfectly manicured hand took the cigarette and tapped it out in the ashtray on the bar.
"Interesting obituaries sections recently..." a well spoken english voice mused.
Leon Reginald Carlos Xemnal Vladimir De Feurard, the Lord DeFeurard, lowered the paper, smirking to himself as replaced the cigarette. He peered over the ruby glasses he wore, crimson eyes glinting slightly.
"Now it's merely a question of who get's hunted in this little game..." -

Just thoughts here...
1) Increase Elusivity (sp?)...maybe not to the levels it was before, but better than it is now
2) Get rid of the power reduction that happens when you enter a PvP zone.
3) Get rid of detoggling period. Just have it suppress like the other toggles.
4) Give back a bit of the mez protection one should have to begin with when melee.
That seems like a good start imo.
Mind you I PvP for fun, and these are just things that bother me.
2) Little confused with this one..?
3) Amen. Although that probably would make a few of my friends WP characters even nastier than they already are
4) /Signed -
Proper education! Good job that man!

Don't mention LRSF to me...
It was great fun! And then we hit the last mission. Oh god....oh sinful lords of the underhells, what diety did we p*ss the living heck outta to deserve what happened there? Horrible, horrible, horrible design. At least I can safely say 5thSF is more fun than LRSF, because at least 5thSF is BEATABLE. -
That time o' the month

1. How exactly do you explain a bombing run in an indoor mission (ie: most of the content in the game)?
2. Have you tried making aCrab Spider? -
I find the unending tide of Nazi reinforcements to be less fun, on the 5thSF. We've team wiped more often due to the fact that ambushes DONT spawn in increments (3/4, 1/2, 1/4 etc), they spawn as soon as he calls for backup. ALL of them. And they follow you to the entrance, too.
Reich's himself is just a big, dumb, sack of HP like every other AV, unique 'rank' or not. -

They can shut the EU servers when they pry 'em from our cold, dead fingers ¬¬

I remember him saying that about the screenshot of a Resistance member, way back when. Haven't seen a comment relating to this vid though.

Hats with decent hair?

Hmm...yup, this thread is deemed worthy.
And this is aimed at the bringing back the prompt (which I disliked)

*drool*
Love the Banksy styling on the in-game Sheep one really nice touch.
Well done to all! -
Iz serious busyness.
And, actually, some of them points I agree with. Namely being fobbed off with a 'Soon' when we ask, beg or plead for any information on this super secret space moonbase project to keep the EU servers from falling into oblivion.
And I dont mean the Xbox game. -
The only thing I'd also suggest is to make it optional; some people design their own, playable, character nemesis. If it was optional, that'd be cool. Andm glancing at the suggestion, it looks good so far.

We had the US > EU Transfer, why not add four servers to the US side, and EU > US? I mean, the tech was there for the US > EU transfer, but it's not possible to use that to do the opposite?
Look at it this way, we've had our EU offices closed, our EU con presence made nill, no shop presence, no marketing presence, we've had cases in the past of American players getting preferential treatment from GM's (US players having deleted characters restored, EU players being denied that), and now this. And I'm sure I've left some things out too. And what with the forum merger, the mods and so forth are now about mostly out of EU player hours, there's no community mod presence for us like there once was... I'm just glad I'm not a French or German server player. I'd hate to see what it's like there.
5 Damage/Recharge DO's with special minor procs isn't ground breaking, but it's the little things that add up.
I've bought pretty much everything CoH related when it hit the stores. Super Boosters, Wedding Pack, Mac Pack, GVE, character slots. I spent hundreds of pounds going to conventions, at conventions. At Bristol Comic Expo 2008, I asked Stephen 'Rockjaw' Reed for a box of GVE Trial CD's and I walked around that convention, handing them out to people. And I just worry that the time will come to pull the plug on the 'not viable EU servers' and my only recourse will be "here's a free US account, start over, rebuy things, oh, no vet badges, sorry, basic character slot amount. Rebuy those too. And all your old characters? Remake them! Start over!"
Tabula Rasa players got something along those lines when that Triple A title was shut down. After NC Soft said it wouldn't.
So the general EU worries about such things are kind of understandable. One day it could be 'No plans to shut down the EU servers' and then a few weeks later, blam.
Open the exact same named four servers on the US serverlist. Make Zukunft and Vigilance German and French as they are now.
Allow EU -> US Transfers for free for...well, ever. Until everyone is transfered/left?
That'd achieve the same net effect. And maybe try a work around to transfer SG/Base data over as well.
Clunky? Hell yes. Acceptable? Better than EU servers being left to rot, thats for sure.

I'm going to agree with Carni on this one.
I'm on hiatus from CityOf at the moment, mostly due to Uni work, etc. I still love the game (I've seen that line too many times, but I mean it. Its the only MMO I own) but, when it comes down to it, I can't really play if the EU servers are, frankly, left to die off.
Theres no incentive to play EU side. At all.
'Server list merger isnt possible' ?
Then make it possible. No, it won't be easy. But, to me, it looks like either that happens or, sometime down the line, the EU servers will die, through dint of no marketing, less players than the US servers, and no incentive to play them. And shutting servers down looks real bad, we all know that. Ergo, don't let it happen... -

I don't blame the dev's at all. The least the marketing department could do is be honest and just close the damn EU servers already if they don't care about them. That would make at least clear what their intentions are.
So far I have yet to see an answer from any redname(Pebble or Community thingy) to clarify that yes, the EU got screwed over again.

Sorry, still going to /unsign this, for reasons already mentioned.

I'm somewhat confused by the level of response to this.
(disclaimer, I'm in the EU and so don't even get the option of these shinies, so I may not be running at a full rage/bile quotient)
People on these board have been screaming for marketing to do something, anything to promote the game.
So Marketing are now doing something to promote the game.
Cue board rage.
Whuh?
