Hitstreak - you've done a fantastic job and a heartbreaking and thankless one at times.
I myself got frustrated with the Twitch talks because you were in a position where you couldn't say anything. If I came off as rude or obnoxious in any way due to my frustration, I hope you'll accept my apologies. I truly have nothing but the greatest respect for you.
You are a true and noble hero to the last. Don't let anyone tell you differently. -
Quote:I was one of those that really enjoyed those arcs and hoped you'd finish them.Originally Posted by Turgenev
Here's a big confession from me.
I've beat myself up for years for not finishing the "Ghost" AE series. I got mad/frustrated with the original KB limit, and ended up retooling my arc drafts just to squeeze out 4 missions, let alone five. After all the frustration, I walked away a while to give myself breathing space, and wait for a KB increase.
Then the Devs, devilish bastards that they are, just kept adding CONTENT. The Return of the 5th Column made me cheer like a crazed orangutan at a banana strip club. Power customization. Praetoria! INCARNATES!
...and, I failed. I didn't keep my promise to people who, in good faith, waited on me to conclude Dani Mizel's story.
I didn't mean to leave it at a cliff hanger. I wanted to resolve it, but the way I wanted it, not by compromising it to shoehorn into AE. I kid you not: I have notes on the next 2 arcs to conclude her story once and for all, every mission mapped out, with map and costume notes and dialogue points, and everything.
This year was busy for me, with the baby and all. I was hoping to get arc 3 out by January, once I took a week long holiday finally. And then the sunset notice hit.
Everyone, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
If there's a way to do so, I swear, I'll finish her story for you all. More than anything, this is what I hope.
That's it. Please forgive me.
And I can't blame you. Lord only knows dude, the game has GOT to be secondary to family and a baby.
If we'd only had more time, I was more than willing to be patient and see how things turned out.
But the game ending just... Well there's nothing you can do about that.
I'd love to hear what your plans were. Maybe write it out and post on Titan? Or Virtueverse? -
Quote:I've been saying something akin to this for a couple of months now.Originally Posted by Ashen_Fury
Sadly, probably not. This whole situation has pretty much tipped me over the fence on whether to continue playing MMORPGs at all. I'm currently trying CO, but I'm finding it more and more difficult to want to devote time to something that could just be pulled out from under me for any reason at any moment.
I can still find enjoyment in MMOs. But I will never ever be able to commit to one again like I did to CoH.
NCSoft has committed a grievous blow not just to us players and fans of City of Heroes. They've HURT the MMO genre as a whole.
Why pay for anything in an MMO? Why commit money? Or time? Or effort?
Why BUILD? Our SG has this wonderful base on Virtue Server. It took us 5 years to fully kit it out. It was more or less "finished" just this past year.
And it's being taken away.
Why create unique characters and get attached?
When they can be taken away.
Why create ANYTHING -
When it can be taken away?
Some friends bought me a copy of GW2. I said I wasn't going to buy anything from NCSoft. But that's where this particular group has moved on to. So a couple of them got together and bought me a copy. Bit of a surprise, that.
So I tried it out. You know what? At first I was annoyed at their character generation, because it's putting a cookie cutter story in front of you as the background for your character instead of letting you come up with your own.
But you know what? After awhile I realized it doesn't matter. I have no desire to commit emotionally to anything in that game anyway. I am there ONLY because of friends who pre-ordered. I am there for them only. And I know NCSoft will kill GW2 eventually anyway. So it's better that it's a cookie cutter story anyway.
It's that way with every single MMO I consider. Even Champions Online, where I CAN recreate many of my characters from COH, I am wary of getting too deep into. And that game is on life support as it is. It won't last but another 2-3 years tops.
So no - My money isn't going to be spent very much on MMOs, even if I do play.
I'm not going to contribute to any building of anything in any of the games I do play. I won't contribute to Starbase building anymore in STO. If there was base building added to CO, I wouldn't bother with it. I won't grind to help such efforts.
So you see - NCSoft has hurt other games besides just City of Heroes. They've not only killed City of Heroes, but they've called into question the very nature of MMOs.
In the words of Obama - "You didn't build that!"
I guess I didn't, did I? I sure won't from here on out. -
Thanks Michelle, for letting me be a part of the process. It was a hell of a lot of fun. And I got to look at a couple of my characters and go - "Did that really look as cool as I think it just did? Wow!"
Your videos got better and better. Choice of music. Camera angles, when to cut and when to roll. Your sense of timing. Most of all, the way in which it got to the point where I didn't feel like I was watching a machinima, but an actual short movie or trailer.
Michelle, you've gotten to the point, as driven home HARD in the most recent video - which leaves me in tears every time I watch it - that you can tell a story and make an audience FEEL with you as you tell that story.
Whatever you do from here on out, do NOT stop doing that. On the one hand, I wonder if that even needs saying, but on the other hand, I know how hard these last 3 months must have been for you. I want you to know, if you choose to do trailers or videos for another game, or go into film or animation, you have people who will cheer you on. Because we know you can succeed at it and we want you to.
And yes - must agree with Ascendant. Smile because it happened.
But it doesn't have to be over.
You found a passion in this game and that let you discover talents and skills to create and tell stories. That's what you take with you from here on. This section of your life - the game. That might be over. But you have a talent for story-telling, and I hope that you continue to develop it.
This is not goodbye. Because I can't wait to see what you'll do next! -
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
...Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world...
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in the old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are,
One equal-temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
(From "Ulysses" by Tennyson) -
What can I say? I was surprised the name was available too!
Just in case you don't catch the reference -
And just for fun, here's a costume he... doesn't wear that much.
-
I would stay. I never really left. But...
I would pay my sub. But that'd be about it. They'd get no more money out of me than that. And that with extreme wariness.
Any trust I had with them is gone, as others have mentioned.
For them to get it back would require a MAJOR effort. The comments about butt-kissing above are apt.
They would have to APOLOGIZE openly and sincerely. In an open letter to the players and fans with NO CORPORATE DOUBLE-SPEAK. Total and complete transparency as to why the decision was made to shut-down the game and what made them change their minds - even if the process shows them in an unflattering light.
If they open themselves like that... Well... That would be a first step. I'd warily be willing to LISTEN to them at that point.
The next step is to re-constitute Paragon Studios with as many former employees as can come back. Recognizing that all 80+ of them don't need to come back just for City of Heroes (many were on the secret project), they could still have full development with - I'm completely guessing here - about 30-35 of them. Matt Miller and Melissa Bianco would have to be part of that. That's very important. Because if they come back, as stated above, that means that NCSoft has negotiated in such a way as to convince them it's worth it.
Once they have the Devs back and things running again, they'd have to insure that I-24 gets it's final polish and out onto the Live Servers first thing.
At this point, they'd have enough of my trust back that I would consider paying a slightly more expensive subscription if that's what it took to help City of Heroes stay solvent and profitable. If it's about 15 dollars a month now, I'm willing to pay 18-20. I understand the realities of the situation and if they're completely open about what they need as a business to run, then I'd be fine with it.
Lastly - they would have to COMMIT to an ACTUAL BUDGET for ADVERTISING! They'd have to practically relaunch the game anyway. So this is within their best interests as well. We have been saying all this time that City of Heroes managed a more or less stable population via word-of-mouth alone. If it was actually advertised - say in conjunction with promos of upcoming superhero films? - then can you imagine how well it would do? As long as they DON'T EXPECT A WoW KILLER, though. It'll never be that. But it would be quite profitable given the amount of money they'd put into it.
All of that would be an extraordinarily tall order though. And I think the chances of that particular corporate culture actually doing it? Absolutely 0.00000000000000000000001%. Or however near infinitely close to Zero as your mind can conceive without actually being zero. -
I should post this again, just because I can. And it's about a Scrapper.
I love scrappers. My very first character in the game was a scrapper. My main Cyberman 8 is a scrapper. I've played most of the primary and secondary powersets.
But - I had this moment of insanity. And I made a Fire/Fire Scrapper named Burning Sensation.
We join our team in the middle of Task Force Synapse (All Clockwork! All the Time! Babbage! Clockwork King! Whee!).

I'm one of many who never commented on your threads Arcana because - well - what the heck could I possibly contribute?
I did like your well thought out style. I may not ever have understood all the numbers you used. But you always presented your case in a way that I could understand the overall idea. I'd never be able to ARTICULATE it. But at some level you made me understand.
And many times it helped my understanding of the game and why things were what they were. Or how they could be better.
I add my salute to you, Arcana. I'll see you on the Titan forums I hope. And I hope I'll know it when or if I meet you in some other game. I don't think I ever crossed paths with you in-game here. But all my best wishes to you.
You made a difference. You did good. That's all anyone could ask for.

And we loved them for it.
And amazingly, against all conventional wisdom, it actually worked.
- From The Year of The Jackpot by Robert A. Heinlein -
If it's not out of malice, then why not simply sell the IP and the code to someone who wants to take the risk?
-
I feel much the same.
I have only two regrets about my time in this game.
One - I didn't start even sooner than I did. I didn't even know about the game until Oct 2004. But I jumped in as soon as I did. But I would've loved to have been part of the community from the pre-beta onwards in retrospect.
And two - I wish I had done more of the content before the end. I always figured "there's time".
But now there's not.
I've been keeping the sadness at bay by doing as much content as I could that I never had before.
I think I went from experiencing maybe 65% of all the content to about 85-90% in the last three months. And I know I'm not quite done yet.
But now at the last week, I'm finally starting to flag. I can't think of what to do in the time I have left that I still have enough time for other than maybe get that one last iTrial complete that I have never been lucky enough to get an organized group for - the Minds of Mayhem. All the other iTrials I've seen to the end to success. But not that one.
Now it's down to making the last demorecords and fraps captures and screenshots. And saving my characters via the Sentinel tool that Titan provided in the hope that... well in the hope that there is hope.
I find it an interesting irony that the SSA#2 Is called Pandora's Box. For what came out of the box at the end? Hope.
That's the only thing keeping this from being a complete funeral in my head. The hope that the game may rise again in some form.
But if it doesn't, I'll leave it with as few regrets as possible.
If I may borrow the words of the late great Robert A. Heinlein:
"What did I want?
I wanted the hurtling moons of Barsoom. I wanted Storisende and Poictesme, and Holmes shaking me awake to tell me, "The game's afoot!" I wanted to float down the Mississippi on a raft and elude a mob in company with the Duke of Bilgewater and Lost Dauphin. I wanted Prester John, and Excalibur held by a moon-white arm out of a silent lake. I wanted to sail with Ulysses and with Tros of Samothrace and to eat the lotus in a land that seemed always afternoon.
I wanted the feeling of romance and the sense of wonder I had known as a kid. I wanted the world to be the way they had promised me it was going to be, instead of the tawdry, lousy, fouled-up mess it is."
And for just a little while, in a place called Paragon City, I got everything I wanted.
And I could fly. -
I know this is necroposting. But surely anyone would agree that this deserves it.
Especially at this late hour, people need to be reminded of hope.
And maybe what you want to be can't be saved, but the effort itself is worth it - no matter what. -

(damnit... something in my eyes here... damn onion ninjas again... snif)
My main Cyberman 8 is a speedster, so I can't show him doing that, but if the major threats are taken care of, he'll simply take up the role of helping wherever he's needed in whatever capacity that is, even if it's just apprehending muggers, rescuing cats out of trees, speeding people out of burning buildings or helping to speed supplies to the construction workers still rebuilding the city.
Because there's still a lot of work to do. Might not be as glamorous as fighting Nemesis or Lord Recluse, but it's still important. There's Galaxy City and Boomtown to rebuild, not to mention the Rikti War Zone once the mothership is either destroyed or we allow it to go lift off and go home again after the traditionalists take charge and we make peace. Then we go back to calling the place White Plains again.
Or maybe he'll go into semi-retirement and become a trainer for the next generation of Heroes.

O... kay?
Not sure I want to believe or get my hopes up.
But if I'm parsing this right, what you're saying is that City of Heroes was shutdown the way it was partially to keep it OUT of the hands of Nexon?
Someone in NCSoft WANTS the IP and server code to go "free" into the wild? Or to allow another company to buy it at firesale prices?
I find that kind of hard to believe that they would risk the bad press they've been getting just to allow that to happen.
On the other hand though - if there's some kind of factional infighting going on... and the company is NOT speaking with one voice... Well. That's something I suspected myself for some time. But I thought it no longer mattered even if it were true.
If there is a plausible answer to one simple question then I -might- get my hopes up.
That question is - who benefits from this? To expand on that idea - HOW do they benefit?
Like the old saying goes - "follow the money". So far I'm not sure I see the trail here... -

Okay - this is a follow up all the way back to page three of this thread, where Satanic Hamster mentioned that Hamidon in the LGTF could be wormholed.
Well tonight, I just did it.
Kara Skye, my Grav/Kin controller Wormholed the nucleus of the Hamidon completely out of the goo, up the crater wall, to the top of the cliff, and all the way to the Helicopter! (Nothing but net!) Actually placing the last Wormhole spot IN the Helicopter. Then wormholed him BACK down the waterfall to the crater floor where we finally took him out. A truly epic finale.
Satanic Hamster. I really want to thank you so very much. If you hadn't clued me in on this, I never would've known and I would've missed this epic achievement.
They always say - pics or it didn't happen. Well I have both a demorecord file and many screenshots. Here's a few of them. Plus a transcript of the chatlog from the minute I made the first Wormhole. The reactions of my other teammates were priceless!

[Team] Professor Eviella: (Any chance of a MoDD or MoUG tomorrow, Whisper?)
[Team] Kara Skye: I'd love either of those
[Team] Professor Eviella: (MoDD is probably the easiest trial to MO, so good salvage for a new incarnate...)
[Team] Kara Skye: Y'know - I don't CARE that the challenge failed. I WORMHOLED HAMI INTO THE HELICOPTER!!!! MUA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!
[Team] Professor Eviella: AMEN!
[Team] Sation: I am still chuckling over that

[Team] Professor Eviella: Thank you for sharing something new and special in this game with us, even now. :-)
[Team] Kara Skye: ."Hami in a Heli." There's your meme for the day.
[Team] Ghost Chamber: durr rtoggles help
[Team] Professor Eviella: I can't say I'm ok with the game ending now that I've seen that. But... it's maybe 1% less bad. :-)
[Team] Kara Skye: XD
[Team] Kara Skye: It is at that.

I honestly teared up at the end. Perfect.
If this is indeed the Final Mission I ever play on the last day with my oldest toon created in Oct 2004, I could think of no better exit.
And no higher honor.
I think I was fine until the end when Ice Freem Man said -
Ice Freem Man: "Cyberman 8, glad to meet you! You're the reason I decided to become a hero!" And the end where the note says you join them on their low level team. And this all with the backdrop of the ORIGINAL Atlas Park map! The one where you can see the way it looked on opening day with the buildings over on the east side before they put in Wentworths and AE.
Don't get me wrong - the new Atlas is superior. But man... that took me back...
Damnit... Onion Cutting Ninjas sneaking in here again.
It's funny that the final souvenier mentions you becoming a trainer. I had no idea you were going there, but yet I got screenshots of the new heroes around me on Ms. Liberty's plinth.
The final souvenir is just awesome. I made sure to get a screenshot of it with the HUD visible so that I can read it in the screenshot.

Quote:I suppose there's not TOO much point in rehashing this.Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
I always said that any solo path *should* be slower. It's slower to solo everything else in this game.
The problem for me was the insane disparity between:
A: The difference in real time between soloing content to 50 and running with teams to 50
versus
B: The difference in real time between soloing DA for incarnate shinies and running itrials.
All I ever wanted was for B to be far closer to A.
Why rehash this now? I hope some of the devs are still reading these forums and I hope that they don't make the same mistake in future games they work on because I like, for the most part, what they did here and would be more than willing to check out their new projects.
I do have an observation based on how fast the Devs were introducing new content though.
If they and the game had been allowed to continue - I could easily imagine that Dark Astoria would NOT have been the only place where you could run the solo Incarnate stuff.
I haven't asked (because really - I just thought of this) but I bet if you asked around with the former Devs, there were ideas and plans to introduce the solo incarnate pathing either to a new Zone (Kallisti Wharf perhaps?) Or to do more zone revamps to add incarnate solo paths.
So a couple of further issues down - especially as the next incarnate stuff was introduced with the Battallion - I imagine that there would be multiple zones with Incarnate solo paths.
Like - say - the Shadow Shard? We've all known for years that that set of zones was tragically underused. It would've been simple to leave the zone mostly as it was and yet add new contacts and instanced missions for incarnate solo path content.
That's my initial thoughts. Mainly that I seriously doubt that your concerns with DA being the only place for Solo Incarnate Path would have gone un-answered.
Of course, now we'll never have that. And we'll never know what that would've been like. *sigh*

The music of "Sleeping in Light" is of course from the final episode of Babylon 5 of the same name. And I looked it up on Youtube and found the relevant section to re-watch.
So here I was watching the final 5 minutes of "Sleeping in Light" but all I could think of was your video.
So... Congratulations -
You've successfully done what I never, ever expected... utterly replaced my mental images of that bit of music. Before, it meant the farewell of John Sheridan and the end of Babylon 5 for me.
Now it means a completely different set of farewell images. Just as powerful. Just as poignant.
It's a worthy trade.
