...you do realize that they would have had to provide refunds regardless of the situation, yes?
Not to say to drop hope, just don't go thinking 'There's no way we can fail now!' -
Quote:I'll say it again, eight years is a phenomenally long time for an MMO to be around. To expect any game in this genre to be around forever is plain naivete.What I mean by that is the fact that they closed the game down before it was truly over and I don't believe we've had word on whether we will have compensation (aside from credit for other NCSoft games (I'd rather be paid in Zimbabwean dollars.)) This to me feels like a rip-off. Like "Thanks for the money, enjoy your non-existent game! No refunds!"

Quote:What does realizing that MMOs aren't going to last forever have to do with self-respect?That's where you need a little education. This isn't about what I can do to hurt NCSoft. See, long after the end, when the dust has settled and I've moved on from my anger, I'll still have my self-respect to contend with. Don't confuse this with pride, or petty arrogance.
...sounds a little pridefully condescending, too.
Quote:This world is still filled with small and family-operated businesses who depend above all else on their customers trust. Those businesses have a lot to feel good about, but so do their customers. When someone does right by you, you ought to do right by them. If a business treats you badly, you ought to take your business elsewhere. Be kind to yourself. Expect better, demand better. These are simple, self-evident principles; and the worst part about this mess is that it's convinced me that the world is filling up with customers for whom respect is neither expected, nor demanded.
As I've said in other posts, don't trust corporations, plain and simple.
NCSoft didn't handle this well, we can all agree on that
But I'm not gonna sit here and cover up my eyes to the truth, this is an old MMO, even by MMO standards, 8 years is a phenomenally long run for one. These kinds of games, more than any other, do not last forever. To even think otherwise is naivety.
Quote:I went YEARS without buying a single game from EA, until the new CEO stepped up and point-blank admitted that their reputation for buyout-and-shutdown strategies for studios like Westwood was both accurate and unacceptable. I was HAPPY to open my wallet after that--I had been itching to play UO again and a couple other titles. Boycotting them after what they did to me and my community in Earth and Beyond DID hurt their sales, we know this now, but only because we weren't the only game community doing the boycotting--EA made many enemies of MANY customers of MANY shutdown studios within just a few short years, something NCSoft seems poised to do. I wish those studios under NCSoft well, but I cannot in good conscience support a business who treats its customers and studios (especially a darling of the industry like Paragon Studios) poorly. No industry veteran would tell you that NCSoft did right by them, or by us.
Caveat emptor. Let the buyer beware, the phrase isn't in Latin because it's new.
Edit: Now, I'm not saying don't boycott. Go ahead, vote with your wallet, you should. But don't go around shouting it, how many times do you see entire groups of people going around saying they'll boycott this game or another? They never go through with it, not enough of them, anyway. So the threat is kinda empty nowadays.
As for this situation right here, people boycotting a company in a region that said company doesn't sell much of anything in anyway isn't the most effective tactic at hurting their bottom line. Not to say you should go out and buy their stuff, just don't go around touting how this is gonna do so much damage to their profits... when it kinda isn't so much. -
I think you need to look up the definition of the term Ponzi scheme.
They let the game go on eight years. Eight.
That's an enormously long time for an MMO.
Personally, I got my money's worth. I've played the game since CoV came out, and, yeah, I'm gonna miss it. But I'm not gonna dwell on the loss, and I'll move on.
I pre-ordered GW2. Fantastic game, I've already spent some money on gems, because it's a good game.
If you think NCSoft was hosting this game purely out of the goodness of their heart, or that any corporation does anything purely out of the goodness of their heart, something's wrong with you.
Edit: And...
Trying an American boycott of a company that gets 95% of it's profits from Asia, even more now with the closure of CoH, isn't really gonna do anything. -
Quote:You shouldn't specifically trust any company, to be honest. That doesn't mean you shouldn't buy anything from any company, though. Eight years is a very good and long run for an MMO.Still not interested. Don't care how good it is. Don't care if Arenanet are the nicest folks this side of our Dev team.
NCSoft does NOT get my money!
Ever.
If Arenanet breaks away from NCSoft and goes it on their own, I'll gladly support them. Until then? No. Not budging. Can't trust NCSoft.
Quote:Honestly, if Paragon Studios had another game coming out, I doubt CoH would have been cut (people seem to think they tried, but maybe something which didn't get picked up by NCsoft). There is more to the situation than meets the eye. CoH was profitable with a full studio behind it, but for how long? We just don't know. Even if CoH gets revived somehow, somewhere, I doubt they will return to full staff. -
Quote:And you know what? It still doesn't matter. They didn't have to pay to play the game. That's what Free to Play means.Good idea, I was just about to point out that it wasn't ONE person not paying to play the game that caused these problems but HUNDREDS at least, more likely THOUSANDS that weren't paying to play. And again I'm not including the Prems that supported the game thru the store. Just the deadbeat freeloaders that weren't spending a dime.
-
Changed my post because I don't want to start any more arguments in this thread.
-
Quote:Okay, now this is getting old. Blame who you want. The game's going down anyway, you can either whine and moan, or enjoy what time you have left, your choice.I know plenty of college students working multiple jobs while attending college full time, maintaining high grades and supporting a family to boot and maintaining their video game habits.
People that chose not to pay made a choice. Now the consequences that choice have come back and bit everyone on the ***. -
Quote:"What!? People not spending money on a free video game!? Those monsters!"Yeah? I've been living on a fixed income for years and I never once allowed my sub to lapse. I've done whatever it took to scrounge up $15 bucks each month.
Whiny excuses don't fly.
I've been a VIP and spent alot on this game, but I don't begrudge anyone else who played for free. I'm glad they everyone who played got to enjoy the game while it lasted.
To implode in a blamefest right now is pretty much the worst thing you could do, instead of spending the last few months of the game remembering the fun times you had you just get pissed. -
Quote:Sheesh. Listen to yourselves.No not every Prem was a freeloading deadbeat and it certainly isn't fair to lump them all under one overly broad generalization because many Prems spent more on the game each month buying stuff from the store than they would have just subscribing, but pretending there weren't any freeloading deadbeats is just foolishness.
"People were playing a free to play game for free and not spending money! Those bastards!" -
I believe BaBs was going to take the spot from Liberty when she moved. At least, that's what the plan was when she took over the STF from him.

Radiation Therapy sounds alot like a better version of Dark Regen. I always thought that should have a -Regen component instead of a tiny amount of Negative Energy damage...
-
So, I went over a few TW/DA builds and I think I managed to scrap together a workable one. I'll be using Energy Mastery until I can get incarnated out and solve my end problems, after which I'll probably find another one to switch to. But so far it's looking good, it's got S/L maxed without using Defensive Sweep, and it's got E/N at around 34%.
Any tips on how I can make it better, or which APP/PPP I should switch to?

Took it. Hope more people suggested an Account Wide Patron Pool Unlock thing for the Paragon Market.

Took it. Hopefully alot of people suggest an Account-wide Patron Pool Unlocker item in the Paragon Market...

Quote:...that page even points out a separate entry for uplifting stories in those settings.As for the other, it is still a ****sack world.
Fallout's even listed there. -
I was kinda hoping for a more Trap Control/Munitions Assault from the power set bit.
I mean, Munitions Assault itself is low hanging fruit.
Take the Wolf Spider attack set, remove Wide Area Web Grenade and Venom Grenade, and add in Build Up/Aim and Sniper Rifle (since I think alot of them have snipes). Boom, assault set.
Trap Control woulda been more difficult, but I think the crowd coulda done it. -
...did anyone read this at all?
I also made a build with Mace Mastery instead of Ice Mastery, to use until APP/PPPs get customization... so it'll be awhile.
Again, any suggestions, if anyone reads this, would be appreciated.

Hi, I'm working on a Dominator build. I've got barely softcapped S/L defense as well as enough recharge for Permadom and Permahasten, but I think it could be done better... hopefully without so many purples.
Any suggestions/tips?

Well, I managed to throw together a build, and I picked what incarnates I'm going to go after, too. But I think it can be done better. Any tips?
