Wow, that latest part.

This is good stuff.

Thank you for providing this grand tale to us all, friend.

That sounds terrible, HighTech_Wonder

I hate disney with a passion.

Hahahaha, all you guys complaining about actually aiming swords and stuff at your enemies...

The fact that some of you despise twitch gaming, and all...

Almost sounds like you're bad at video games.

But I digress. I've stated my dislike for CoH's combat system earlier, but I'll go about it more indepth this time.

A system where you can "freely" attack with your gear, ala TERA, is fluid. It's fun, and makes combos extremely easy.

Look at the Dual Blades powerset we have. You have to chain several different powers together for combos, where as in a free attack system, you could chain efficiently and quickly, all at once.

In CoH, having to select an enemy, then sloppily fire off my powers... was always pretty bad. Especially if I was being attacked by more than one dude at a time, which was commonplace in this game.

I'm not ashamed when I say I've been playing since 2006, but only have one level 50, and that it's a Merc/Force Field MM.

It's because, going to the max level.... gameplay just got stale for me.

Regarding the Incarnate System and their god like abilities. This is related to my opinion of the combat engine, you see. That only made things even worse for me, a relatively simple guy, who plays games to have fun and enjoy it, not to delve into some crazy **** system where I become some sort of ultrabeing.

I never really "got" into Enhancements, either. I used all the standard ones for my Origin, which was technology. The closest I got to making them "fancy" was double or triple slotting them, with enhancements of the same type in them. I didn't use I/Os, and all that stuff.

Fighting didn't make me feel like I was my character, it made me feel like I was controlling an experiment, or managing phones like a secretary does. Watching toggles, watching my end rate, popping off my powers, checking buffs, sizing up the enemy mobs, and so on and so forth.

So yeah. There you go.

Thank you for your time.

Brilliant story.

I'm afraid I won't be attending the event though, being on Beta recently caused my graphics card to crash a lot unexpectedly, almost fatally. I'd rather not take the risk, although it hurts me almost as much as the sunset itself does.

Keep up the good work, Arcanaville.

No no no.

The system is just plain terrible, IMO.

I'd have preferred a system more akin to TERA's combat (yeah i went there), but now we'll never get it.

Sure I could always just play TERA, but it's not the same.

The entirety of TERA is worse, far worse than I want to deal with.

This surprised and depressed me at the same time.

I loaded up a mission architect mission, with the Zig Outbreak old villain tutorial map.

I went to one of the villain tutorial's objectives, clicked it, and this happened.

The only architect objective I had set up for this was to defeat all enemies.

I believe this is residual coding which was built into the map itself, not taken out.

I hate to toot my own horn, but this may give you a quick laugh.

So yeah, I was on Beta, looking at my market purchases...

The slashcommand to check your purchases is, /mypurchases

Anyway:



2078 isn't that bad of a year, as long as you aren't living on Earth.

Look, guys.

Don't give up hope. If you do, or already have done so, you have failed yourself.

There can always be a silver lining.

However, at this point, NC Soft is really, *really* EA-terrible levels.

So, yeah. I just woke up two hours ago, so I don't feel like really making a huge post here, just.... believe. In the game. In yourself.

Keep fighting, for our City!

To Aynjelic_Riot and Scarlet Shocker:

Yeah, I know.

It won't happen anyway, for the lack of a dev team.

At least we will have these events.
