Quote:As I've mentioned to a few folks here already, I'd made the decision to do no new business with NCSoft, ever again, almost three years ago. As much as I'd have been happy to keep playing, and paying for, CoH pretty much indefinitely, nothing that happened here was going to change that decision.Originally Posted by Starsman
With such a vague comment, cant help but simply think that this means "we [this tiny group of people at NCSoft West] attempted to sell but the Korean mothership refused".
/boycot on
They have, in effect, fired me as a customer.
I will move on. I will always remember fondly the CoH players and Paragon developers, even the ones I argued with. I don't argue with people I don't care about.
If folks want to look me up "out there, somewhere", those places are in my sig. Take care, folks.

Anybody thinking of The Secret World but holding off... there's a 3 day trial on now and half-price purchase on the game this weekend. Good time to try it out.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, I got a lifetime sub late in the last beta. It's certainly not CoH... and I suspect nothing ever will be, for me... but I do love the game.

Quote:Well, if you're so-inclined, look me up in either LotRO or STO. I'm fairly active in both, and there's a sizeable CoX population in the latter. You can add yourself to the CoX chat channel there to find those of us in both STO and CO - the channel is cross-game.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
I'm probably not picking up another MMO. I may make the occasional appearance in STO, as I kinda-sorta like playing over there every once in a while, but that's a rare event. Depending on how the beta pans out, and what they add, I know I'll spend some time in Mechwarrior - but that's more a shooter than an MMO, honestly (though a shooter with big freaking mechs) and it's not in small part to my old Netmech/DOS clan being over there.
I've played a good selection of other MMOs... I think the longest I've lasted in any, though, were about six months in Aion (and that was... yeah... no. I'm not into a grindfest.) I think three? in TOR. Six, perhaps, since launch in STO. I know I have something in LOTOR, havent' fired that up in a long time. Not interested in finishing up anyone in GW, not interested in GW2 at all....
Yeah, I think where I'm going is "into the sunset." -

So many... a br/dev blaster modeled after the Void Hunters and waiting for the i24 blaster changes. A tw/ brute waiting for radiation armor. A mind/dark dom designed as a vampyri (Archon Barlowe, a nod to King's "Salem's Lot").
So VERY many more. -
By far, my necro/dark/soul mm, Blood Speaker. The first character I rolled more than 5 years ago.

It will all be converted to microwaved marshmallow paste.

Never had a problem with farming. Had a problem with being unable to sort the farms from the stories.

Quote:Heh, I remember the line a bit differently, but I think what really "made" the comment for Sean was my mildly sarcastic tone and the completely unconcerned shrug that went with it.Originally Posted by Dark_Respite
John (as Orion, the Cimeroran Manticore): "I'm not following Imperious' orders. He just happens to be going where I'm going."
Sean Fish: "Yeah, you've definitely got Manticore's mindset right."
And wasn't Protean one of the players there, before he was a dev?.. -
Quote:No, it's OVERkill when you have Dominate, Power Boost and the Megalomaniac Accolade.Originally Posted by Organicide
Power Boost which can be looked at in two distinct ways. 1). It's overkill with domination and 2). Overkill is great in it's own right.
...and the Lockdown: Chance for +2 Mag in your holds...

Quote:I'm perfectly okay with a (temporary) one-trick pony that roflstomps mobs that early.Originally Posted by Light_Petting_EU
Plant can feel like a one trick pony (but what a pony) until you get creepers and a couple of other things fully slotted out. I've had fantastic fun with a plant/fire and been rendered speechless by what a fully tricked out plant/psi can do.
My favorite "lolmoment" with my plant/thorn was getting ambushed by Tsoo in a cave. A couple of Sorcerers and about 4 roflninja charge, and of course meet a faceful of seeds. Instantly, the Sorcs tp away... and the warriors run off to go look for them.
By the time they came back, I was long gone.

Well, that's why they call them rumors. Pity, though.

Quote:It all depends on their market analysis... which, given their overall financial track record, may not be all that great. But (making up arbitrary numbers, here) if they think that selling the game off for 3 million is going to cost them 10 million in future revenue, they'd likely choose to let the game die. Not saying this is a likely scenario, just a viable one.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
With 95% of NCSoft's income coming from the Asian market, where CoH failed to make any kind of impact, I don't really think that that'd be an excuse that they could use.

Quote:You forgot "refuse to sell the game, because it's existence is a viable threat to their other sources of income".Originally Posted by rian_frostdrake
I guess thats the thing. there is not much rational reason to not allow it. throwing it in the trash gets them negligible money(maybe sell the office furniture and computers) or get paid and give it up. From my non professional viewpoint it would be needlessly spiteful not to sell rather than scrap.

Quote:Except that most or all of the devs have private accounts and non-dev characters in the game. I'd be just fine being able to PLAY THE GAME with them.Originally Posted by Angry_Citizen
So we've established that you folks don't actually care about the developers of the game - it really comes down to you getting your CoH fix. Evidence: My question elicited responses of "ONOZ THEY MIGHT CHANGE THINGS", not "That'd be freakin' BS! Those poor devs!"
So much for the sense of community.

****, if Saddam Hussein's rotting corpse kept the game going I'd send him $15 a month with a smile on my face.
I'll keep my hooves crossed.
Okay, I don't exactly agree with the sentiment, but this still made me laugh!

I'm going to retreat to my sig line. I've been in TSW and Rift both since late beta, and LotRO for 4+ years, about a year less than CoH. They were always "second loves"... but at least they're loves.
Edit: as a side note, if any visitor to this thread has any questions about the three games I've mentioned, feel free to pm me. I've already gotten a few inquiries, so if I get inundated, it may be a while before I can respond, but I'll do my level best to answer questions and/or provide trial invites, up to the limit of what I have available. -
Heh, that really belongs in the Rude Tells thread. They'd love it!

I will apply trollogic and say that if we didn't vote, it doesn't matter.

Nnnnnneeevermind. Stupid sneaky sidebar expiration stuff.

They don't have access to the game development anymore, and account status wasn't handled by them, in any case.

My most soloable Dom has been my plant/thorn, though a plant/fire would probably have better damage. Getting an AoE (cone) confuse at level 8 (iirc) goes a long way to making it a safe ride.

Hopefully, we'll meet again at some other game convention, and Michelle will bring more brownies.
