That's not what Judas Ace said.

Are you actually trying to claim that after Going Rogue goes live that a new player who purchases the Mission Architect Edition so he can get the free booster that comes with it won't be able to play the game because he can't get into Praetoria?

You're nuts.

The devs aren't that stupid.

Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were referring to the 1-20 Praetorian range.

I've been using IO's, SO's, and DO's on the live servers for so long I wanted to see what happened, and I didn't have any significant problems.

As of today the NDA was lifted.


Or as Yoda would say,

Lifted today the NDA was.

I had no problems soloing any of my Praetorian characters using nothing more than TO's.

I rather enjoyed the ambushes. They really brought to the game the impression that people were willing to die for what they believed in, and that the zombies were really mindless monsters with little or no idea of self preservation.

Two factions = two choices. The trick is to read the choices and decide which your character would actually make. The right choice isn't always the heroic option.

As the one (Massively?) reviewer pointed out, one choice has the heroic option of destroying the drugged water supply, but the consequences of the character doing that is that he is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent citizens who die as a result of the water shortage.

No there wasn't. The only time redside was that busy was right after it was released, which was 5 years ago. After the new wore off the redside population dropped off to a small fraction of the playerbase.


No one has claimed the population wasn't down.

Getting a team is still easy for people who are willing to do more than stand in one zone and spam "LFT" over and over in broadcast.

Ah this again. The only thing some people have a hard time admitting is that the reason they can't find teams is because they are either lazy and don't make any effort to be social and join global channels, super groups, or send invites to form their own teams, or because they act like obnoxious jerks when they are in the game and they've been actively ignored by most people on their server.

Oh and just because someone like Lightfoot points out the reasons why you had a hard time finding people online, and offers helpful suggestions on how to find a team, does not mean that people are denying that the games population is lower than it was a few years ago.

I hope you enjoy your time on Freedom and decide to return.

My favorite pics are from when I managed to get under the map and get angles we never see. These two are the ones I kept because I thought they looked the coolest.

Well limited in the sense that they didn't want the system to crash from being swamped with too many transfers at once and permanently losing the characters.

I think the process goes as follows,

1. They copy the character for transfer.
2. They delete the character off of the old server.
3. They complete the transfer to the new server.

I think it's done this way to prevent any exploit occurring that would give players duplicates of the same character. People would happily pay $10. to duplicate all the Inf, Recipes, IO Salvage, and IO's on a character, then strip them of that wealth and pay to duplicate the character again.

I may be wrong but if I recall they first offered it for the month of Jan, for 6 characters per week, and extended it thru Feb or at least most of it.

I've been thinking about shuffling my villains around so I can keep them as bad guys but free up their names for reuse as new Praetorian characters.

Because 20+ characters would be ostentatious.

All the new rules mean is that LoT can no longer post pics of Christina Hendricks bewbs.

I had no idea the British Broadcasting Corporation was interested in our suggestions for the base architect.


As to if you can say "end of discussion for now." I don't think anyone here knows if you can say it or not. For all we know you may have a seriously debilitating speech impediment and everything you say sounds like "tufflump girdlefump." in which case no you can't say it.

If you actually meant to ask, "May I say end of discussion for now?" then the answer is no you may not. People are free to participate in this thread and contribute further ideas or criticisms s as long as they obey forum rules. Only the Mods can tell us to shut the hell up.

While you are probably right about her dissatisfaction with the changes to the forum rules, Nethergoat is also right. Her question could have easily been answered via PM or email sent to the devs/mods or Customer Service. Posting it on the open forums is just for the spectacle.

Now I'm not saying I don't agree with her dissatisfaction, but the post is what it is.

The OP didn't have to search. There's been a couple of different threads on this topic on the front page of more than one section of the forums.

Uhm, with all due respect language is not a barrier that prevents you from creating characters on a given server. For example, I don't speak French or German, but I would still have characters on those servers. I'd use those servers for characters I like soloing on. I already use one of my accounts as a dedicated solo account. I use it when I don't want to be bothered by anybody at all. I just turn off the chat box and play in peace and quiet.


Oh and just to be clear because I didn't say it before, I'm all in favor of more slots. In fact I want the EU and NA server lists combined so we can all have access to the same number of servers and slots.

Feel free to chant along with me.

Combine the server lists!

Combine the server lists!

BBQ_Pork is a tool!

<.< >.>

Uhm. Your math is off. We can have 396 character slots on NA accounts but only 144 on the EU accounts.

I think I remember that one.

And following that bad idea there will be a rash of cancelled subscriptions when the people that lose their characters leave in disgust. Many players have characters on multiple servers and they won't fit on fewer servers unless the devs drastically increase the number of characters that can be kept on a server.

Then there will be the cancellations by players that see server consolidation as the death knell of a game, and the negative press on gaming sights that will inevitably report that CoH is dying which will drive away more potential customers.

If they can do it while keeping the global name invisible it might prevent people from cancelling their accounts.

Now this is the option I would prefer to see happen. Heck just announcing that they were working on a CoH2 would encourage people to stick around while the new games being worked on.

Remember the one twit that was complaining about Freedom being over populated and demanded the devs shut down the other servers so Freedom would be even more overcrowded.
