The forum posts that are still around, the comics, the coffee talks, the announcements, pictures, is anyone working on downloading/copying/reuploading/copying forum posts/taking pictures/badge descriptions and all that?
If this game is dying, atleast want a ton of things on it I never read about to make me happy. -
if the game was remade/Had some of the original dev team back and the development was slowly chugging, but surely, Would you come back?

"Arise, riders of the Theoden!
fell deeds awake, fire and slaughter!
Let shield be shattered, spear be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
DEATH!!.... DEATH!.... DEEEEEEATH! Ride now!, Ride now!, Ride for ruin!!
and the world's ending!!!" -

Hahahaha, all you guys complaining about actually aiming swords and stuff at your enemies...
The fact that some of you despise twitch gaming, and all...
Almost sounds like you're bad at video games. -

Special Unique Snowflake SYndrome. SUSSY is a common condition of raiders. If you don't have raids you're not cool and won't attract raiders and if the raiders can't have gear no one else can have you won't retain the raiders.

Quote:So, You brought two completely things not even relevant to an argument about something else entirely, Nice.Originally Posted by I Burnt The Toast
Like I said: You copy what is successful and has a greater chance of selling.
You never stated it was a financial behemoth...I stated it never was and it makes no sense in a business world to copy a game that produced moderate financial return, but rather one with huge financial returns.
You never stated it was a huge MMO - I stated it wasn't one....which is why it does not make sense to copy it.
We can continue this in PMs if you wish, Otherwise i'm done. -
Quote:Okay, Riddle-me-this. When did i ever state CoH was a financial behemoth, and when did i ever state it was a huge MMO to rival WoW?Originally Posted by I Burnt The Toast
Stating CoH was never a financial behemoth is not anti-CoH it is reality.
No WoW clone has ever reached their numbers, but a lot of them have done well...better than CoH. This is not me dissing CoH...it is just reality. I have tried a lot of WoW clones and barely stayed there a week...CoH on the other hand I have played for 7+ years straight (Except a 2 month period when Issue 7 came out due to the massive bugs etc).
I don't need to shut the hell up - what YOU need to do is put your big boy pants on and realize CoH was never a HUGE MMO. It never saw the numbers that a lot of WoW clones did/do. It is a niche market...one that should have performed better due to the popularity of Super Heroes in tv/movies right now, but didn't.
Just because I can look at the financial success/pitfalls of CoH does not mean I have not supported this game since day one. I am not an MMO ... I am a CoHer, but not a blind one who is afraid to look at the reality of the past/future.
You are the one who asked the question - if you didn't want an honest answer then maybe you shouldn't have asked.
The Title is "I'm sick of the WoW clones." Not "Every game should not copy WoW, But instead should copy CoH"
And the OP merely asks questions about why MMOs can't integrate similar features. -

You have to actually aim your attacks fps style but in third person view, if you swing your sword and nothings there you don't hit anything.
I always disliked tab targeting myself but for certain RPGs I will tolerate it. -
CoH went wrong by being too fun, Needed more gear grinding and l337 gear based PVP, Because every game needs PVP or it sucks.
I am totally probably sorta serious. -
Quote:You state how you love CoH and continue to post blatantly anti-coh "Facts".If you love the game, Great. But sometimes you just have to shut the hell up.Originally Posted by I Burnt The Toast
I am not against CoH. I presented facts. You stated you were sick of the WoW clones - I stated it makes more sense to make a clone of WoW than CoH based off of subscription numbers. Why clone something that had 200,000 people buying at it's peak...makes more sense to copy something that 12 million people bought.
If you make candles and know that 100 people buy red candles that smell like flowers and only 2 people buy brown candles that smell like cookies...it would make more sense to make red candles that have floral scents... business wise.
If you are going to copy something it makes more sense to appeal to the largest audience as possible.
While I enjoy the hyperbole that "every post" I make is against CoH...you are completely wrong. Almost all my posts I have stated emphatically how much I love CoH. People just don't like the fact that I do not hoist it up on some pedestal when it comes to the actual business sense of this game. It was never popular in the MMO industry as a whole. If you view my realistic look at sub numbers as attacking the game that's on you...I call it reality.
And what you fail to touch upon in your post is, WoW -does- have many, many subscribers, But, Do the many, many WoW clones have that much? Nope!
To further invalidate your arguement, If i'm making a WoW clone, I'm not going to look at WoW's subs, I'm going to look at how well the other WoW clones did. -
So the system was simple and often made you feel overpowered.
Not seeing the issue here. -
Quote:Question, Do you always have to be a complete killjoy? Every post i see from your end just has to be made to be against this game.Originally Posted by I Burnt The Toast
Because if you are going to copy something it makes more sense to copy something that 10+ million people subscribe to after 8 years and not something that has approx 50,000 subscribers after 8 years.
WoW has stayed above 10 million subs since mid 2008 and is still at 10 million as of reports on Nov 7, 2012.
CoH peaked at 200,000 in 2006 and has slowly lost subs since....
And no I am not a WoW fan/player - I tried it for like an hour or two in 2007 but didn't like it.
And i didn't ask about WoW, I asked about WoW clones, Guess what? They aren't doing so hot. -
I would engrave his *** with a steel toe boot, if given the chance.

Warshades, Illusion controllers, and Masterminds
Most unique and fun classes I've ever played in gaming in general. Moreso with IOs. -
Why can't any game be innovative and focus less on balance and more on FUN?
Why can't we create truly unique characters with an expansive character creator?
Why can't we solo most things if we are smart?
Why can't we have a gear system that doesn't require a grind and takes about 5 minutes to buy enchancements for certain powers and become a power house?
Why can't we have unique classes, like the Warshade or the Mastermind?
Why can't we be able to adjust our own difficulty?
Why can't we have speed boosts early on to make leveling much less of a pain in the ***?
Guess what i'm trying to say is
Why can't most games be like City of Heroes? If they were to copy a game, I'd rather it be CoH than WoW. -
At the risk of sounding like a broken record.

Why is that?
I like the simplicity, yet mentally engaging aspect of it (moreso for some powersets than others)
The only issues i have with it are really just individual powers. -
Title. Discuss.

I always chose natural since it's the most flexible one with retcons and such.
You can argue anything to be natural if you're good at explaining it.
For instance, If you were born with a mutation to throw fire at people, In a way that is natural for you as an individual. -
Long story short, We made some HUUUUUUUUGE blunders near the beginning that essentially changed the "Balancing" of powers to be weak and useless when nerfed for the longest time.
Only until around 2-3 years ago did the dev team realized that smashing 50 dudes with a fireball is badass and decided to just turn us all into olympian gods with laser beams. This actually made the game much more fun for me.
But sadly, ED was never removed for whatever reason (I assume they didn't know how.)
Though honestly, I think these things, while they would have made the game better, Would not have changed the selfish, ignorant, Overzealous, infuriating, distasteful decision NCsoft has decided to go with.
Shutting the game down wasn't the crime, It's the sheer spite. -

Keep it superhero!
Add a bit of grind!
No soloing AVs unless one actually gears up for it (much like many had to do now anyways).
Don't put stupid things like the invention system, auction house, ect as part of in game lore. Leave it purely OOC!
Hire me!
