Yes, I know it was an MA panel but I thought SOMEWHERE over the weekend they could have discussed their boxed expansion. A timeframe for release, some more feature news...anything. GR is going to make or break this game for me so if it's just going to be more of the same old then I am happy to go out today and get CO. I would prefer to stay here but, lately, most of the issue updates have been just fluff.

After all, the custom enemy and ally data isn't on your system already like the standard enemy data is so low end systems are of course going to lag out.

Now that I've the basic information and being understanding part out of the way. Would those of you who experience inordinately long times in loading missions, or the market, or zones or whatever do me a favor? Quit complaining and get yourself a real computer so those of us who are capable of handling larger chunks of data can get the goodies? Or if you can't afford yourself a new computer then at least quit complaining about the difficulties you have due to your system. It isn't the highway department's fault that your second hand Yugo has a top speed of 40mph (64kph) and the speed limit shouldn't be lowered just so you can keep up with the other cars.

Sorry for the rant but I just hate it when I hear that the limiting factor in some area of the game is that some systems can't handle it. If the console world went with that marketing strategy then the ps3 would still be using cds and 32 bit graphics just so the original playstation owners could still play the games. I've upgraded my system twice since CoH was released just to keep the shiny bits at maximum shininess.

disney, " yes, we will let you do what ever you want with your comics"
marvel, " that sounds great, we had this great idea to bring back alpha flight"
disney " that sounds good but have you checked the marketing on that yet?"
marvel " well a good story line will sell more comics"
disney " maybe you should do an aladin comic"


i do have to say better disney to buy marvel, then say lucasarts to buy them out.

lucasarts, " so lets have all these mutats powered by midichlorians'

And now I finally understand.

Anyway, this whole move to bigger and bigger conglomerates bothers me, for some reason.

But yeah... Mickey Mouse and Wolverine hanging out is bizarre. Disney and Pixar at least have some affinity for each other... Marvel and Disney? Not so much.

My first beta character, in metal armor.


Taking in the view before entering an instanced mission.


Millennium City is huge.


And a little futuristic.


I didn't take many shots, I was too busy playing.
