They should restrict Empathy, Thermal and Pain, just so we don't have to go through that argument again. Like, ever. -
My namesake so I can abuse the markets and my IOed out Incarnate Kat/sr. Would I like it? Oh hell no.

I think it's more like 20/21. The acc/tohit bonus for lower levels goes away. Damage scaling kicks in so lower damage ATs start to set into place with their lower damage compared to mobs hit points. Mobs are generally just harder to deal with. Level 21 has been and might be my most hated level in the game. The mobs are tougher and yet you are still using DOs.

Choose whatever server you want when you create a character but you have to start in Praetoria with your first character. Welcome to the game.

Quote:Examples? I can see if it started as a F2P game, but LotR, DDO, and CO all kept their name.Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
It's common in the MMO market that when an MMO goes F2P it's renamed to something with "Free" in it, i.e:
Freedom
Free For All

Quote:So they can start losing money on a VIP after a year, or so?Originally Posted by Yellowbeard
It's time to allow those of us who are interested to lock in permanent VIP status for COHF. What are the chances?

Quote:I think controllers are #2, or #3 for most played AT at 50.Originally Posted by Jibikao
I can see why MMs because MM is a lot different from all the other ATs. The choice of Controller is interesting.
I can't remember the exact stats but I thought more controllers and mms were made in recent months than other ATs? If so, these two choices make sense. You want to restrict something that more people want. :P
New players can still make their Warrior "Scrapper" and Mage "Blaster" as their first toon though. Ugh..such simplification. -
Quote:While not KBed, you do get flipped when using Hover. IOs fill in for DA rather nicely.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Because Acrobatics and Hover don't exist.
If a set as a psy whole, it's still there post IOs. If a set lacks ability to resist end drain, it's still there after IOs. A build sucks a lot of end? That's what IOs and Incarnating is for. -
Quote:It's easy to street sweep your way there and ding level 3 so you get more slots.Originally Posted by Primantiss
^Just outta curiosity, if a person were to start from level 1 (and thus only have a few insp slots) how do they handle this?
Pop em at the vendor, and run like hell? -
Quote:I totally thought it was going F2P. I just didn't think it was going to happen this soon.Originally Posted by Robot
I would totally believe this is it weren't for the fact that the entire studio is branded to the City of Heroes theme. My personal belief is that the creation of Paragon Studios was precisely for the Next Gen Sequel, right for the start. I think they've been working on it for a good while now. But we'll see, I mean, I was told by the masses they would never go Free-to-Play and here we are.

Quote:Restricting classes, ATs, etc. is a F2P 101 type of move.Originally Posted by Inazuma
Okay, I just don't understand the idea of cutting off MMs and Trollers, or any basic ATs at all. I'll be a VIP so it won't affect me personally, but the concept is baffling to me. Logically I would leave all 10 basics and just keep the epics for VIPs/Premiums.

Quote:Cole wanted to go to Boomtown first, but he took one look at it and said, ""Aw hell, they did the work for us already. Nobody will give me credit for it when it looks that bad."Originally Posted by Ironik
I think it's a mistake. As they say, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
GC should have been made shiny like Praetoria and players should then go to a revamped Boomtown, which is mostly empty on every server. Kill two birds with one stone. -
Quote:You honestly think a company that is giving part of it's game away for free is going to restrict players from giving them money?Originally Posted by rsclark
While good, that doesn't address if you will still be able to buy up to the current max. "You can keep what you have bought" is not the same as "you will be able to buy".
It seems like a no-brainer that you would be able to buy up to the same, current max, but ***-u-me and all that. -
Quote:You do that now.Originally Posted by That_Ninja
I'm really excited about this. Finally, just paying for the game nets you some cool stuff.

Quote:I honestly think it would bomb horribly if they did it. Graphics have been updated. Content is fresh and they are adding in a key aspect(end game content). It's now F2P. You don't try to make a sequel when you are trying to bust your butt to make the original look as sleek as possible.Originally Posted by Ironik
That will be the challenge in front of the Devs. I suspect CoH2 will be announced at Comic Con next month. Probably called something like "City of Heroes 2: Planet of Heroes." Not as catchy as "City 2: Electric Boogaloo," but what can you do?
-
Well, if true, defenders might be the only support AT 1-19 hero side for any of the F2P players, so how about them apples?

Quote:I had an unofficial version of an Elec buff set in my head and the tier 9 was just that.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
I'm totally expecting a Fulcrum Shift clone, but with -recharge/+recharge.
WHICH WOULD BE AWESOME. -
I think the more interesting aspect is controllers are a Premium/VIP required AT.
-
Do people honestly think CoH2 is going to offer enough new shiney for the player base to move from a 7 year old built game that's now free to play?

Quote:If you want more slots, I'm sure they will gladly take your money.Originally Posted by FlashToo
Man, that sounds like a way of pussyfooting around not letting us get any more than what we have, though. Yeah, I can keep the two pages of characters I have on Virtue, but will I be able to get a third later on if I want more?

Quote:The VIP server is optional and like hell I'm moving.Originally Posted by Darej
Not about to read through 29+ pages of the other thread so if its been discussed sorry.
Why does it feel like the VIP server is just a sneaky way to get consolidate the server lists without actually merging them all into one? Next step is to eventually remove the old non VIP servers. And you have one left. Then its all gone.
Doom? -
I liked my CoH without the taint of F2P. Considering what trial accounts gets, there's no way in hell I'm doing the non-VIP route. I'll just unsub, go play something else, and then sub when I want to play again. Changing the name of the game makes no sense whatsoever to me.

Post your build.
