    Guess the better statement is "I'm not going to bother with the subject of the post."

    And no I dont think my opinions are better, I think my opinions are merely opinions. Where was the convo going? Nowhere. It's not an exhange of ideas. A certain part doesnt seem to want that. They see it their way is their way and that is the only way. So is this a no win situation? If I continue that conversation, it might be a waste of time. But if I end it, then it means I think my opinions are better?
    Well you are entitled to your opinion too, but I'm ending that conversation with that person either way.

    Alright try this for once and try not to force your view and "pride" on anyone else. I believe that people are more complex then how well they spell on a game forum. But if that is your extent on judging a person then good for you. But that is not my view.

    And the punishment is not working as because the point of punishment ot stop an undesired behavior and guess what, my behavior is not going to stop and nothing you can do about it.

    I guess our line of communication is over and your punishment wont work as I'm not even going to be able to see any of those posts that try to "punish me." What a weak attempt. Oh well life goes on and when things go dark Nov. 30th, you'll have to wake up and face the real world, where correcting people might end your life one day if you keep doing it. But I guess that wont matter as long as you was right and they was wrong. That is what is most important to you it seems

    +1 this. Look as how some people react when their i-net connection goes down and get on Facebook. Some are totally lost. I know a few that are like that.

    Whatever. I'm not the only one that doesnt make an effort. I'm the only one that get called out for persay instead of per se. Yet, many other people get a free pass for it. And if this is punishment, huh. That's what you call it? Then why not punish people that have mistakes too. Why not punish yourselves when you make mistakes. Guess what the punishment wont work. At this point there is nothing you or anyone else can do about it. **** that spell check, as some of my prior post used that, and made no difference. They found something else to poke at. If they cant even overlook somethign as simple as a mistake of per se, and expect me to be the incarnation of perfection, then one, they can forget about it, and two unless they are perfect themselves, who the **** is them to judge?

    All of this because of per se. ******* absurd. I'm here to stay so deal with it. Put me on ignore, or ignore the posts. And I'm not afraid to admit, I'm working on it but not perfect at it yet. Oh well look at this, my pride is intact and I didnt die admiting that I'm not perfect unlike some people in here cant do who self esteem is so low that they must make themselves feel better by nit picking someone else's mistakes and have the dilusions that they can never make a mistake ever. The world have a better chance of ending then them making a mistake.

    Am I the only one that make mistakes, or the only one you choose to point that out to? Why am I required to or even bother with it, if it's not required by anyone else? So if it's not going to be enforced evenly, then I'm not following it. I'm going to write the way I feel like it and grammar mistakes and all as no point in having to follow a rule that only applies to me but everyone else get free passes.
    You can take it or leave it. With the rule that is not being applied to most people, I choose to leave it as it's ********.

    And when I pointed it out, like I said, and you seemingly overlooked, still did not go, "oh, they mispelled per se." And I bet by now, you still didnt even bother to go out of your way, to the thread and correct them.

    You seem to be under some delusion that A: I think I'm always right, I'm not. I'm often wrong but when I suspect that I'm wrong I seek out information to resolve the issue; B: I've never been dogpiled on by others in this community. I have and often, I just don't cry about and take my lumps as they come; and C: that this is in different than any other game forum anywhere. It's not on THIS topic. One way this forum IS different is that I have never seen on any other forum the rapid help that one can receive when they are seeking it on any number of topics.

    At least half of my 30000 posts were added to this forum in my first few years hanging out here and doing my damnedest to help out folks in the tech forum so that they could go on to loving the game instead of fighting bothersome tech issues. I just started a thread in the scrapper forum about using degenerative or reactive and received a lot of useful information without any BS at all.



    I won't be involved in the development of a new CoH. If a certain segment of this forum's population actually manages to create a new CoH on their own, it is highly unlikely that I'll be involved with it at all because I've already been shown some of their design philosophies and they are VERY much unpleasant for a soloist like myself.



    Get this through your head: There is a difference between being closed off to all ideas and being closed of to ideas that are obviously useless on their face.



    No, it being BS makes it BS. The statement, "The Sun revolves around the Earth" is BS. I don't have to pretend that it has worth or any basis in reality. I get to happily discount it as BS and continue on under the safe assumption that the person stating it will never have anything useful for me to bother with.

    Other ideas are good when they're well thought out and worthwhile. Listening to the players is a good thing. Listening to garbage is a waste of time. Defending people that intentionally start crap for no other reason but to start crap and insult people is a waste of time.

    All opinions are NOT equal and never will be.

    The opinion that it's ok to piss on and mock those saddened by the loss of something is a baseless and idiotic opinion and THAT is what this thread is actually about.

    It's not about the cliquishness of the forums. Cliques exists everywhere and this place is no exception. But to blame the closure of this game on the forums? That's just stupid.
    Not even going to bother with this nonsense of a reply. It's is very apparent that is you is set in your way of thinking and no one can change that and I'm going to.

    I learned that you cant force someone to see but in the end if they choose to be blind then let them be blind and think any opinion that is not theirs is idiotic and thier opinion is always the one that is better than everyone else. It's obvious that you think that by the above statements you made.

I've done so with every post in this thread and will continue on that path until I get my point across or get bored trying.

    I was cocky long before this game came around. Truth NEVER hurts me. I thrive on it. I thank people when they prove me wrong. I learn from such interactions. You have failed at every turn on that front so far.

    You've given us no reason to listen to you. You've said nothing worthwhile yet. As soon as you do, I'll listen.
    Same to you. When you have something that isnt holier than thou to say, contact me. At this rate, I guess that will be never and that is fine with me. Have a good life.

    As for reacting badly, folks react poorly when insulted. It's human nature. Either avoid insulting people, as the OP failed to do or the reactions that EL is harping on wouldn't exist, or deal with the reactions when they come. But please, do so without whining about imaginary attacks on one's freedom of speech.
    Ok how do you know the OP isnt reacting to being insulted? Hm? So then what, you insult back? and they insult back? and then you insult back? So tell me this, when is it suppose to end or is it suppose to be a forever ending insult fest?

    ARe you one of those cocky vets? or one of the noobs? The way you are talking and insulting people seems to fit the bill. The truth hurts dont it?

    See I can respond to insults with insults that is the easy part. But the hard part is communication here. because it seems that no one ever just want to SHUT THE **** UP AND LISTEN!

    It doesn't mean that you can share any half-backed line of BS without being called out on it.

    If someone decides to share with me their opinion that climate change isn't affected by humanity, that the earth is only 6000 years old, that man was pulled whole from the clay by some deity or that women aren't capable of becoming pregnant from "real ****," I'm going to mock them, belittle them and shut them down with facts until they shut up or leave.

    People need to quit pretending that baseless opinions should be granted the same weight of respect that opinions based on logic and rationality are granted. And people really need to quit throwing out freedom of speech when they don't actually understand what it protects them from.
    Ok then, I'm talking about the protection of government thing. Yet, if it falls within the rules of the forums, which is written, then it should be fair game. And just because someone can and you think their view is BS and half baked, and you think your views are always 100% genius, doesnt mean you have to go out of your way to call it BS. That is the root of what I'm talking about. People like you who think their view is always 100% correct and untouchable while anyopne's elses that dont fall with that exact same view is BS. And that is the downfall of this community. I bet if we was stil raking in 9 million a quarter instead of a measely 2 million, this may not even be an issue of the end. Any ways what is certain is that this iteration of the game is done. The next iteration of the game probably will not last long either if the attitude does not change. How if you and people that think like you even going to develop a game if you are not even open to actual ideas outside your own. Maybe a few will play and maybe a few more will check it out. Think if the devs was not open to ideas as they was this game probably would of been gone. If you and people like you are planning on starting out like that then the game will not last 8 years and I can gurantee that if you cant be open to simple ideas that are different from your views.

    Even if you cant understand the other person views, doesnt make it BS. I dont get why you have to the anology that "Oh my opinion is right and thus is fact, while anyone else that dont fall in line with my view is totally abstract." just because you cant understand it, doesnt make it BS. It's just another way of looking at things. And at this rate, you people might get exactly what yu want just like the griefers in PVP got what they want. They wanted like minded people only be willing to play. In the end, like the PVP in this game, it was ghost town. What ever COX wanna be game you all come up with next, have at it and hope it last as long as possible so you cant keep your closed mindness and "I'm better than thou" attitude within that game and out of other games where the community is more open. Hell, WoW as nuts as they are, are more open minded there. CO is good too. Oh no, not COX and their closed mindness that cant see nor understand anything outside their view.

    Whether or not you actually listen, I hope that no one puts money into the new iteration of the game, unless some company picks it up whole and have the actual mindset to listen to other ideas that are different from their own. If it going to be player financed by some of these guys, I have a feeling that group of players and investors will be in for a great loss until they can get off their high horse and understand there might be some other ideas out there or else, the game will never be made with the mindset many of these people display.

    But yeah, stuff ran way too much. I never stopped me from playing given ATs or powersets, but I didn't particularly like it.
    Yeah, tey was one skittish set of mob. The most skittish I ever came across. And I would get the lead them to the next mob thing, maybe, if most of them didnt keep going across the map somewhere to to some random room and sometimes towards the map that is already cleared of mob.

    Yea the anchor things was a tad annoying to see one gu run away and before ya know it, ya had half of the map of angry mob on ya case. Which for a tank or melee toon is usualy no probs but on a toon where it can take thre four hits for death from just a single orange conned LT, then it is near certain death.

    And then the ones that especially trips me out, is the ones that run, inside missions before you even touch them. And some you punch them once and off they go, sometimes two at time.

    Although I wished they did do something with those mob teleporters. They couldnt have thought of a better use for the mob to have teleport except to spam it constantly to random places around the map? I think having teleport toons with long sight, like the sight of Nemesis snipers, and teleport to you to attack, that would have been better than the teleport mob that spams teleport, rendering relatively non-dangerous, and more of a time waster trying to chase it down before it stuck in a wall somewhere in the defeat all mish.

    Yea, I suppose. WoW isnt any better nor worse. But I have had none of these issues on CO forums. Besides a few COX transplants over there saying how CO is doing it wrong and how it should be more like COX. And a few CO members "shooting down" any new COX refugee transplant they see. Disgruntled ex-COX player? Some of them are. Some of them heard about the crap this forum was talking about that game and how they would never go over there and such and now the sink is sinking, some went without hesitation. Then of course you have a few of them like some of the forum people here. But no where near as many in sheer numbers or ratio.

    I'm George W. Bush, and I approve this message. Tacos rule!
    Not trolling and communication 101, which I did take, did not deal with online internet COX game forum communication at all which seem to have it's own set of rules that change on whim and only apply to certain people.

    One thing I do beleive in which many in this forum do not seem to believe in, is freedom of speech. The OP probably paid for a sub just like the other hopeful guy. And just like the hopeful guy have the right to be as hopeful as they want to be, the OP have the right to be as non-hopeful and non caring as he wants to be. And the other thing is that he didnt go to some other thread where they was saying "save COX" and said "i'm not sad about it." Nope, he made his own thread and expressed how he feel. Then of course, people that didnt agree with his view, as usual, jumped on his case. I'm starting to feel if I was in support in saving this game is like supporting saving Italy under Mussolini.
    If ideas cannot free flowly the ones that agree with you and the ones that dont, andlack of fairness of enforcement of community rules, escpecially so called unwritten ones, then what is there to be saving? But I'm not going to walk away from something I invested in so much, and I hope you all can band together and have another iteration of the game in some sort as that means at least I know those closed minded people are here and not going around poisining other communities, especially trying to turn CO into another COH.

    Now like most here, I been here for a while since i6, I love the game, it was my first MMO, I didnt like that they killed off Paragon studios, but under stand on the buisness aspect. And I know what it like to be personally and financially affected by an on the whime decision to "cut-back". Happened to my husband, even when they was making a profit that was comparable to the rest of the areas and branches. They just felt that they didnt want to deal with Europe anymore and said shut it down.

    Then there will be the rather drastic changes in diet that we'd have to go through. Vegans will be in for one helluva rude shock when they find out they can't get their fair trade, organic, free range tofu.

    Then there will be areas like Las Vegas that are simply not sustainable without modern tech. Nature will reclaim those places.

    I do wonder though, how 15 years of agrarian-type living can still leave someone like that fat guy still being fat and out of shape. It's not like Lost where they can explain Hurley still being fat by having Dharma food drops.

My wife and I found out on Thursday that we will be the proud parents to a baby boy!! The future member of our family is expected to arrive in mid-February. We have decided to name him Grayson Drake. At the time we just thought it was a great sounding name, but, as I'm sure some of you may also have noticed, those are two relatively famous last names in the world of comic book genre. I haven't mentioned anything about this to my beloved since she'll certainly roll her eyes at me, but in my defense, I wasn't thinking about comic books when we came up with the name. In light of this, and even though I have limited time, I think young Master Drake may make an appearance in my beloved City.

    Anyway, I thought I would share this awesome news with you, my Liberty friends! May the wind be ever in your face to billow your capes!
    Congrats.

    At this point you're probably thinking, "Hey stupid, how the hell could Family Guy Online (currently in open beta) possibly effect NCSoft's decision to shut down CoH?" Well, I'm about to tell you!

    Family Guy is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island.

    CoH is set in the fictional city of Paragon City, Rhode Island.

    Do you see now? Both games are set in Rhode Island!

    On hearing about the emminent release of Family Guy Online NCSoft executives took a look at a map of the USA and saw just how small Rhode Island is. They quickly concluded that the MMO market could not possibly support two games set there. Knowing that FGO was an inevitable juggernaut of a game they decided then and there to pull out of the Rhode Island market before CoH was utterly crushed under the feet of Seth MacFarlane's behemoth IP.

    Now you know the REAL reason, so spread the word. Perhaps Matt "Positron" Miller could agree to retcon CoH and place Paragon City in Maryland. Then NCSoft wouldn't be so threatened by the upcoming Goliath of a game.
