Don't you mean how the new game WAS going to turn out? The one that doesn't exist anymore because it was first shot down by NCSoft and then fully killed when all the devs were laid off?

Unless you're talking about what Titan network is talking about.

That's only because those using inventions pumped up their difficulty settings.

Once upon a time the max difficulty was, what, +2/x1? Now we can punch it to +4/x8. The game itself, if running at +1/x1 blue side, is the same as it ever was. Red side can be a bit rougher and gold side was designed to be even rougher.

But in any zone, you can still level from 1 to 50 using actual content without ever touching inventions. Edit: Ignoring incarnate content. All of that was geared around cranked up builds.)

Except for my main, I generally only use the one-offs early on (procs like the chance for +end, numina +regen/+recovery, etc) and basic IOs after 30.

But yes, if you want to run around at cranked up difficulty, you're going to need help and you can get a lot of help from inventions.

If only they would have kept working on the big redraw removal.

I also would have loved to see things like this fixed: Claws/Followup when hovering cycles between both hands but when on the ground there's only the right hand animation. In my mind, EVERY animation that could be done with either hand should have been done. (Yea, I know it means a whole new animation.)

But, alas, such things shall never be seen now.

Or people could just accept that when someone calls something bad they are stating a preference.

Can you find me something that's universally and objectively bad?

CO is a bad game because it's an ugly game. I am allowed to call it bad because I consider a bad game. And, yes, I killed the black outline and had everything set to max.

I read your post but only because I saw your name pop up on the screen when I hit the New Posts button. I haven't read the OP and have no plans to do so.

I changed mine with the same password I've been using. Honestly thought I had just been banned...

This. I'm betting that we should expect more of such things.

Edit: Or maybe deleting (edit)that one Very off topic threads broke something.

I hope that you never want to hear me scream.

Actually returned to VIP with a box code After the closure, so I'll be very surprised if any points come my way. At least I can still play my staff/bio brute on beta.

Damn skippy. I've allowed both to cause me ill will and will do it again.

Yup yup. Berserker's at 20 something. Engineer is next.

This is the primary reason I'll miss the game and have missed it during my vacations.

I will miss Bill Z Bubba, the claws/super reflexes scrapper/brute.

As for MMO games in general? Can't stand 'em.

...

It all makes sense now.

It might have left some people playing other NCSoft games that they'll now quit.

But even that's a stretch. I'm glad they came out and said it.

Now all we have left is the hope that someone reengineers it and gets it running on private servers. However, I suspect that the probability of that actually occurring is very low.

Does that translate into, "Damn liars?"

Yea, this. But, no, I'm not surprised either.

Here's a story for ya:

At some point in basic training for the Army I ended up having to carry 2 M16s, 2 ruck sacks and 2 duffle bags because one my my platoon mates wussed out and went to the medics. There I was, trompin along and growling when my squad mate looks up with bright eyes of realization and screams, "LOAD BEARING TROLL!!!"

That's all it took, of course, so for the next 2+ years I was Troll. When I got to college, my dorm buddies and I were all getting hammered and handing out nicknames. When my turn came up, I told them not to bother. "I've been Troll for two years, let's keep it going." It stuck.
