Quote:I understand the target audience thing, which is why I lumped GW2 into the mix. It has the look of an Eastern-developed game. My main point is that other successful games are promoted using actual footage of the game.Originally Posted by IAmTheRad
Remember, NCSoft is mostly based in Seoul, Korea. Why wouldn't they market their games there, if it's their target audience?
Also, ArenaNet, makers of Guild Wars, are based in Bellevue, Washington, so your argument about them ignoring games made in the Americas is invalid. And saying that their games closed? Auto Assault, Dungeon Runners, and Tabula Rasa is not indicative of the mainstream titles that have kept them running. Tabula Rasa was promoted the hell out of, and it failed. Maybe because it was using Richard Garriott's name as the only real promotional material, but it wasn't that good. Auto Assault wasn't marketed at all. Dungeon Runners I only found out about since I was sent a beta invitation back before it failed...
At least NCSoft has more sense than Sony Online Entertainment, and actually close games when they are failing. SWG is still running, somehow, and it's really, really bad. I remember the days when it was good and not everyone was a jedi. It was fun before they added such things as 'levels', and then it died when it became a clickfest.
Another issue about GR news not being here on the forums is Twitter. Seems the devs post there instead of on the forums.
It's not like that hasn't been done here before, but the ball is being dropped with Going Rogue.
EDIT: Also, ditto the Twitter comment. That's just strange. -

Revamping of old zones and outdated content first, thanks

OP:
Super Speed and Super Jump still work on all of my characters that have them. Maybe you should send a Bug Report if Ninja Run is affecting your travel powers. You might get Bug Hunter!
EDIT: Full Disclosure: I have a level 50 /Ninjitsu Stalker that uses only Ninja Run for travel. I could've easily fit in SS or SJ, but it fit the concept. With all of the shortcuts we have now, crossing zones doesn't require a regular travel that much. -
Quote:I looked and looked. I still found -ZERO- actual game information about Going Rogue. Is there a secret decoder ring?Originally Posted by EmperorSteele
The team update was cool, but putting Going Rogue in the title was just a used-car-salesman-bait-and-switch tactic. -
Quote:That's a better take on the idea.Originally Posted by dj13
I think if you were to do five zone based on Origins, you could come up with five great looking, consistently themed places to play in. I don't see a need to restrict WHO can play in them though.
Defining what each place could be like could fill these forums for years without ever reaching consensus.
So something like Magic Origin End Game content could focus on Oranbega or on the true source of the issues in Croatoa but any lvl 50 who wanted to explore it could. -
Get em up! BOOM!

Ah! Resurgence! It's automatically applying the temporary buff to the build. That one should have an activation light for it.

You know you don't have to do End Game content, right?
There's no way I'll even run half of my 50s through End Game stuff, but I look forward to the opportunity to revisit my favorite characters and play in some type of new, challenging content that I haven't done before.
End Game content is an unqualified good. -

Grats Positron! Things are even grayer and give less exp now! -
P.S. Can this thread have a different Title? As of this post, there's not a single piece of new Going Rogue information. The team updates are good to know, and it's nice to see that they are moving things forward. Right now, that's the only thing that should be in the Title.

So the game has gone to the Canadians!
Congratulations on the promotions and to the new hires. -
Happy birthday Golden Ace!

Good post Dolphin.
I wish NCSoft marketing shared your enthusiasm for the game. -
I wish I had a console. I'd be playing MUA2 right now.

Quote:Something I like to keep pointing out is that NCSoft does market some of their games really well.Originally Posted by JadeTora
Pretty much which is why I've always been astounded at NCSoft being surprised that so many of their MMO's fail.
Well gee guys, when you don't advertise and no one except for harder core gamers who actually bother looking for this stuff and people who happen across it by accident/through another person it's no surprise why your MMO fails or your subscription numbers are particularly low.
ITT; people with a TERRIBLE grasp on basic corporate economics.
Seriously, advertisement is key. You'd think they'd know that and actually do something about it but it's amazing and unbelievable that they don't. I just can't figure out what they must be thinking.
Example 1
Example 2
The problem is that they don't like to market games from studios East of the Pacific and West of the Atlantic. -
Congratulations Lord Mayhem!

I made a cake for the marketing department.

I'm considering starting a Twitter account just to ask OCR for info every hour that I'm home.

The FAQ is dated...May.
That came out following the website reveal and press releases, also in early...May.
Hero Con had the most information...but that was for us. Unless I'm missing something, and I very much hope for someone to correct me--there hasn't been any GR publicity for more than eight months.
The Dump is correct!
Regarding the utter lack of actual marketing by the marketing department, here's some Tweets I found interesting:
"To all CoH fans: Contrary to popular belief, I do not control the marketing plans. You will have better luck begging @CoH_OCR for info."

I'm not sure if anyone else is having the issue, but the forums have been slow for me in the past 12 hours or so. Maybe the Community team is doing something besides forum games or promoting years-old events.
Maybe . . . -
While it wasn't a fiftycal sanctioned event, the 3 of us finished it.
