Why do developers do this? Where else is it GOOD BUSINESS to TAKE AWAY from the people who PAY YOUR BILLS? When the player base figures out a way to use a power that the people who created the game did not... insted of applauding their creativity, you take the power away, brake it beyond repair, then give it back and say "I've fixed this, NOW its working peoperly."
My main character was an Ice/Ice blaster and I had lots of fun playing her up to level 34... then I ran into a mission that I couldnt get through at all... and the nearly endless amount of debt I racked up trying until I saw red didn't help one bit. In fact it made me want to reach into my computer's hard drive, find the "City Of Heroes" folder and rip it out, throw it on the ground, stomp on it, pick it up and tear it to shreads, douse the pieces with gasoline and set the F**king thing on fire while dancing around the flaming embers singing "Ding-Dong The Witch Is Dead".... then I decided to build another character, one that I knew would be fun... a Fire/Ice Tanker... I had seen them around and they were Amazing... Truly worthy of the title "Super Hero"...
Thus "Jumblies" was born... it was a little rough at first getting the hang of the new powers... But I knew what she would be capable of once I got her a few levels. Fast forward to now... I just feel empty, like I am looking at the empty parking space of where my Shiny new sports car was parked. I feel like someone has stolen my beloved car. and left me a broken tricycle with a bent front tire and no pedals. Sure, I could use this broken, bent tricycle to take me to where I weanted to go, but all the fun and pride I felt for my car is gone. Tained and spoiled.
Some people Dont play this game for the challange, not for the thrill of knowing you suffered many many defeats and in the end you more debt than you care to even look at - but you finally overcame and beat that evil arch villan.... but for the simple fact that they found a combination that was pure FUN.
Fun.
That is why we 'play' games isnt it? to have 'fun' Well with the relaese of I5, I can safely say, you have taken the 'fun' out of CoH and made it more like a job.
I dont know about you but I really don't like going to work in the morning. I hate my job. the absolute last thing I want to do is come home and do another 'job'.
thanks for stealing my car guys.
