As for why we put Bosses in missions at all – in other words, why isn’t everything solo-able – the answer is simple. We want gameplay that encourages the best part of the game: teaming up. Soloing is fine, but a MMP really shines when you meet other people and play alongside them. I’ve made many good virtual friends through other MMP’s that I simply would not have done if I could solo everything all the time. I admit it: I’m anti-social. It’s hard to get me to group up with strangers. But after I do it, I always wonder “why don’t I do this more often…” I might still be anti-social in “real life”, but in MMP’s I’m a social butterfly (I have no doubt that this will appear in sigs for years to come…)

So this is the official "Statement of Intent" to remove the 'solo-ablility' of CoH and move to the cookie cutter group only MMP format?

Now that the game is up and running the solo players are no longer needed to boost revenue and subscriber base numbers must be. "We want gameplay that encourages the best part of the game: teaming up" ..... Thanks for your help and money solo folks, now either group up or go away. Oh, and as far as the "solo friendly" statement, thats why the lawyers had us put the "game play may change" statement on the box, that way we could screw you later legally SUCKERS.

OK gang, we'll throw at least 2 of your wants into Issue 4.

Of course without even the merest whiff of a hint as to which ...

... back to business as usual hey?

Heh .. wait until your Steel Canyon contact gives you a door mission in the Land of the Lost where minions are purple.

You learn fast how to jump up to to the tram roof to get to the N/S rail and run the tracks.

That and learn that Stealth is your friend (a auto select power for all my toons)

Narf ... the latest version of Issue three hasn't even hit test yet .. and its going live tues .. ROFLMAO

Actually, I'm responding to my PM's. Remember - I was at Gen Con for the past few days. First I collect my PM's, then I go to the boards.

PLUS - I'm spending more and more time on City of Villains.

OIC .. this travesty of a "small tweak" is the result of simply not paying attention to what you are doing to the live game in favor of "the next big thing?" of CoV?

So we can expect CoH to become more and more of a red-headed step-child that helps pay the bills while you guys do "more important things?"

Humm Fault Line ...where is that ?

No really, I went there once with my main now lvl 38 , I have
2 alts both in the teens 14 and 18 respectively and I dont plan on going to FL with either even if it means skiping a contact/story line.

the reason? Its boring, no one is there , no story line, no door missions, and lots of bosses. this has all basicly been said the the other post here though.

My point..... Give me (US) a reason to go there

maybe if enough of us say that someone will listen

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree about never darkening the gateway of FL (or any hazard zone for that matter). Nothing but huge groups with disproportionate numbers of Bosses and Lts.

But on the "a reason to go there" subject, hopefully if the Devs are listening that they don't do a SOE/PlanetSide/Core-Combat number and make more "reasons" by making it mandatory to go there like perez (ie at lvl 7 all contact want you to go to perez, shortly thereafter that is the ONLY mission any offer)

So .. let me see if I've got this straight, the OP has already made a call on the value of an Issue that hasn't even hit the Test Server yet?

I'm wondering why the OP is even here .. why hasn't he released a better MMO than CoH and made big bux .. or if he has precog powers that accurate why isn't he making a bazillion dollars day trading?

To try to lay this thread to rest (again), here's what can be currently said.

1. CoH is not required to play CoV. You can buy CoH and play it, buy CoV and play it, or have both.

2. Pricing is something NCSoft will announce. They have not made any announcement yet. Please rest assured, they are very aware of your opinions and concerns.

The only thing missing from this post is to LOCK THE THREAD!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, they should, since most of the trollers won't read past the OP or topic.

Which confirms that its a Devs vs player game that they get to cheat to beat you.

Or maybe if you dont like a part of the game, simply petition for a change. I would think that if enough people want better maps, cryptic will put them in eventually. In the mean time simply learn your zones. it isnt that hard.

Modifying the client should be against the TOS, and should be wiped here on these boards.

[/ QUOTE ]

They don't want good maps .. excessive travel time is one of the main timesink devices used in this game.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll assume this is your first MMORPG and let that slide.
But take my word for it, dont play SWG or Everquest or WoW if you think CoH has bad travel time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Your assumption, like most assumptions is wrong. I did not say they were bad ... I said they are excessive, as per design. There are worse games without a doubt.

I beleive my next project is going to be a short story complete with voice overs and all. Ive wanted to make a short story with my MA/Regen Scrapper for awhile, his name is Detective Smith (he has a suit and all). I'm currently searching the web for a good voice altering program. While my wife can do the voice overs for the female characters, Ill be doing all of the male characters, that means needing multiple voices. LOL! Also Ill be doing another video of our Blasters as soon as we reach Level 32 so I can display a whole bunch of new powers.

NO! NO! NO!

More Music Videos!!!!!!!!!!!!! No stories MORE MUSIC!!!

I personally can think of LOTS of AC/DC songs that are begging for someone with video creation talent to put to a CoH video.
