I have only one avatar, and I've still gotten all the packs, even though I've not actually used any of the costume parts at all - so I'll get CoH stuff, even if I don't need it

Dead Thought
Gave himself psychic powers through chemical experimentation and gadgets. But, then he was killed by supervillains. To his horror, it seems that his success at augmenting his mental powers has also permanently welded his consciousness to a rotting corpse. Unable to find peace, he's taking his frustrations out on the criminal element of Paragon City -

I think the devs are working on that right now too
"be optimistic and don't think about ANYTHING"
It's the American way! -
Quote:RRRRRRIIIIIIIIGGGGGHHHHT Brad. That's why we get all of our missions from NPCs in every MMORPG.Originally Posted by InfamousBrad
It'd be an unpopular game for at least one other reason. Players hate taking orders from NPCs.
We're literally always taking orders from them
and I've even attended some of those parties, too... -
I'd still call Recluse more evil than Emperor Cole
Recluse throws everyone to the wolves and expects the strongest to be of some use to him
Emperor Cole kills a few people to ensure that the majority can have peaceful, fulfilling lives
The chances of Recluse killing you through circumstances is much higher

Anyone who tries to take you up on this challenge doesn't know what they're doing. You're 100% right, the game is not dying and it's pretty easy to form teams

Absolutely, we need more servers. I'm running out of character slots and I'm too cheap to buy more. I know a couple good names we could use for them too: Union and Defiant (and... whatever they are).

It might be his secret identity

Jack's games also have a history of "reverse feature-creep": Buys IP from original developers and announced they'll release all the features promised!
But cooperative PC crewing will be too complicated
Internal areas of your craft will need to be instanced and limited to combat scenarios
Clan built and owned resource-gathering and social hubs are not possible at this time
and on and on and on...
Jack's game seems to get smaller in every press release -

Quote:Ah! But you see, the United States is a Representative Republic itself. Not a "Proper Democracy". What about Mexico? It's just as 'rigged' and 'corrupt' as the Isles. Why don't you 'heroes' bother THEM for awhile? Afghanistan? Their President's BROTHER is an OPIUM LORD! Worry about that too, while you're at itOriginally Posted by Golden Girl
If Recluse would set up a proper democracy in the Rogue Isles, I'm sure there'd be a lot less trouble coming his way from Paragon City
Face it GG, there is no "Proper Democracy" anywhere outside of the Rikti Worldmind in any dimension yet found by the Portal Corp. You're chasing a philosophical phantom -
Quote:That's an example of Ugly Paragon Exceptionalsim! Recluse attacking PC is a crime, but Longbow and Wyvern attacking the Isles is "OK"?Originally Posted by Golden Girl
And how would freeing the people of the Rogue Isles from Recluse's rule cound as oppression?
That certainly is NOT a mature, logical way to look at the world -
Quote:And I believe that by "liberate" you mean "repress". If you truly believe that the people of the Rogue Isles need "repression", then so does the Resistance in Praetoria!Originally Posted by Golden Girl
And by "repress" you mean "liberate"?
Full on hypocrisy! -

Quote:Why do you never mention Ms Liberty and HER thugs (Longbow) or Manticore and HIS thugs (Wyvern)? There's enough shady stuff going on in Primal Earth on the 'good' side to balance ANYTHING Emperor Cole is doing in PraetoriaOriginally Posted by Golden Girl
According to the GR info we have so far, if you make a new avatar and start out in Praetoria, you can choose to help the Resistance, or Tyrant and his thugs, which will push you towards being good or evil.
As for higher levels who change sides, like 50s, we don't know for sure yet what kind of interaction they'll have with the good vs evil battle in Praetoria.

Quote:And YET...Originally Posted by UnSub
CoV brought in only 60k new users, which was considered to be under target. Which in turn led to the reduction of CoH/V's team by 75%.
Arguably Star Wars Galaxy's expansions also didn't help the game to grow, leading to the point where NGE was forced in.
Expansions might make some people come back and take a second look, but they aren't guaranteed growth or even growth levels that hits ROI targets. And those who come back might not stay.
...both CoX and SWG are STILL RUNNING! This game has had the shallowest 'death spiral' of all the MMOs out there. People seem to forget that this is a NICHE GAME. US style Comic Book lovers are an incredibly loyal bunch, but we're small in terms of entertainment consumers. Until a game comes out that does Comic Book better, CO didn't and DCUO looks like City of Sidekicks, CoX will keep running
Hippy Nelfs and Galaktik Gank-sters might have staying power for the easily amused and the 'hard core', but I think CoX has at least 5 mores years in it before they shut us down entirely

One thing I'd really like to see is MA access through SG base computers
Not so you can go from levels 1 - 50 in your base, but so you could use it as a 'Danger Room'. Practice teamwork, let new players get a feel of how their chosen AT works best in a hostile environment without making the rest of your team mates hate you if you screw it up.
Instead of creating 'AE babies' we can help make some 'AE adults'! -
Quote:I was born a male with unusually wide hips. Several women have pointed out that I have "the wiggle" goingOriginally Posted by Arcanaville
You can try to attempt to replicate the walk by leaning slightly forward and taking short strides with one foot landing directly in line with the other, or even better with the left foot landing just slightly to the right of the right foot.
However, if you are male there are usually certain biomechanical impediments to attempting to reproduce the walk that walking stride aren't likely to overcome, but may increase the amusement factor.

This seems like a much happier thread when it's Resistance free!
Perhaps the Devs never dreamed that they'd unleash a glorious wave of ORDER when announcing GoRo -

Quote:LOL! That brings up one of my favorite anecdotal quotes: Writing is the easiest profession in the world, if you enjoy sweating blood!Originally Posted by EvilRyu
Yes it should be easy. They have professional writters already, so coming up with the story shouldnt be the hardest part for them. Setting up the missions would be, but since they get better tools than we get in the AE, I dont see what the problem is. I created a few arcs myself for testing purposes and challenge to see how long my tanks can last. I know how long it takes to create an arc so there is no reason why someone who has better tools should not be able to create better content faster. They could have someone create an arc a day or even every few days and we wouldnt feel so content starved as we are now. Hell even if it was just more dev missions put in the AE that would be better than what we have now.
Give it up, you're only digging yourself a deeper hole
