And thus you lose again...

Unless, of course, you want to claim to actually know what the
man was thinking.

Otherwise you are just blowing hot air.

Care to give it another shot ?

I know you like the attention, so I'll continue to rub your face on
the ground if you want me to..

Yeaaaaah Whatever...

lol

I'm going to play the game now. Thanks, see ya. Have a good day all.

I'm sorry Vegetator but he did not say that. I and Others said that.

What he said is it was not intended.

At least when you make a statment can you not be too full of it.

But still everyone knows I'm right.

Statesman said prior to the release of Issue #2 that he was
going to up the difficulty to make the game "more fun" in his
opinion.

The status effects are not a bug, it was his idea of more "fun".

Now, feel free to press it further and I will rub your nose in it
some more.

I'm NOT afraid. Because I think he meant "up the difficulty" for the Higher levels. Hmph!

Put THAT in your pipe and SMOKE it!

I'm sorry, but according to Statesman this is more "fun".

I really enjoy all the opinions on the game being too hard or whatever 1-20, otherwise why would I read these posts,

I only want to point out that a good deal of us like the harder or whatever 1-20 now.

IMO it is closer to how it was described in the game manual.

But is should be fixed via a mission slider anyways.

All I ask is when you all choose the lower end of the slider, keep me in mind and ask me to team with you anyways sometimes.

I just hope I will be needed.

In the case of making the higher level game more fun, I want to make the difficulty of the later levels resemble early gameplay. At first, some players will decry "but I can't do what I used to! Ack! I can't solo two +4 bosses anymore?" True - but they'll have fun battling 3 white minions - which is something you can say at level 15, but not at level 35. Long term, the entire game will sparkle once this sort of balance is restored - because so much of the game design hangs upon it.

States, that is one of your less Cryptic replies and I applaud you
for it.

But, as long as the XP curve is so exponentially out of whack
battling challenging minions will not offer any reward it will just
make levelling (reward) that much harder/slower..

At least make the XP bar a toggle so that we can hide it and not
have to witness it's lack of progress.

[/ QUOTE ]

But Vegetator, what are you talking about?

It seems to me XP will be getting better in Issue #2 all around.

Just more of a challenge, and IMO it is looking good.

Also I thought Icarus_Factor made total sense and if the original OP would just of had gotten the hint and admit he was being a little punk in his post, IMO the OP would be better off.

I have admited plenty about the things I say wrong.

What, just because the OP was negative toward the Dev’s or Statesman or CoH or whatever Icarus_Factor was wrong?

You just sound pissed off for no reason all the time, and I feel you do not have much credit.

Most of all what I’m saying is my comment on the Original Post is that since he was being cocky and unrealistic and generally sounded jaded, his post is not holding any merit with me and so unless he decides not to be such a jaded poster next time in his OP I am not going to be able to discuss the topic with him.

I've seen a lot of posts from you about how you want us to play the game.

You really, really, want to think carefully about forcing the players to your vision.

This game was a wild success with how it played, even if it wasn't precisely what you wanted. I've seen a few games (Anarchy Online for instance) where the players weren't playing it to the developers vision, so "changes" were made that actually made the game less fun (part of the reason I'm here and not there any more).

The path you're currently going down: nerfing everyone or buffing mobs until we're firmly in your "kill 3 whites", travel as a group to the contact/mission is pretty scary. I don't think that game would be as much FUN as the one I got at release.

It might be better to set ego aside, look at how your players WANT to play the game (not at how YOU want them to play it), and build content/design around that.

Well, just my .02, I'd hate to see what happened to AO happen to CoH.

IMO, I like the Dev's Vision.

The game was ok at launch but I always knew it would be getting better and it has and IMO still is.

You, IMO have some nerve making this post as if you spoke for all or even most. And yes I read it but why do you feel the need to be so cocky? But if that is what you needed to do then fine.

AO was soooo bad form the beginning and was really just as bad right from the beginning, so AO was already down and stood there.

And you saying "It might be better to set ego aside" is really rude and presumptuous.

Ah yes War_Witch. But I think you are definitely a Lady.

There we go,now I made sence.

P.S. War_Witch post more often, we love it

Statesman and the rest of the devs must be laughing their butts off at all the speculating going on. I mean, 24 pages of replies?!

This is my take, and I'm not usually a pessimist, but don't get your hopes up for an "invasion" of any sort. Instead be prepared for the most logical thing that could happen and thats issue #2 going live. Thats the only thing that makes sense.

I have read alot of Statesmans answers to questions on the boards and in almost everything he states that getting issue #2 to the live servers is the biggest priority. It wouldn't make sense for them to be holding an 'event' before it goes live and especially not during.

I hate to sound all 'spockish' but the only logical thing I get from his cryptic (ugh) message is that he is announcing the arrival of #2 going live.

HOWEVER....An invasion, prison riot, hordes of trolls spilling forth into the city would be AWESOME!! but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I just read your post real quick but, I hate to say it but you sound all 'spockish'.

I thought aliens were of a higher intelligence but these dumschmuks keep coming back for more.

Well....!!!!

My business is kicking @%#@% and right now, business is good!

So Bring It On Baby!!!

But why can't you do a bug fix release in the meantime which addresses the existing known issues in the game that you have fixed?

[/ QUOTE ]

That's easy, because it’s not good to go over that stuff twice, they are working on what the live game is now and changing it. It would not be good to change things in the n=middle and go backwards and forwards etc...

Some people are acting like you’re in a bread line. And some or IMO MOST people could not care less in the least and are really enjoying the game right now.

Relax, they will have things done ASAP, Duh.

How can anyone realize when things can be done? Only after a couple of years will they have a good idea how long it takes to do these things.

There still doing waaaay better then most or the rest.

If some one is not sure then oh well that’s just how it is, no big deal.

I am paying $14.95 a month for what the game is now, if it was not worth it a would cancel and come back when it was, simple as that.


P.S. The Devs are not trying to keep any secrets, it is just reality sometimes that you may not know exactly when something can get done.

But if you want my opinion on it, I would say about the middle of October.

I read the whole thread...........




What, Who me?........ I got nothin’

Gang,

Sorry about the confusion regarding the Patriot badge. Quite simply, I had wanted to shift the badge to something a little more universal – so that everyone, regardless of nationality, could feel like a “Patriot.”

What hasn’t been posted is that we had planned to replace it with the new one – the Freedom badge. No term better fits the ideals of America and all it stands for. In the future, standing proudly beside the American flag grants a hero this badge.

In games, some times some fixes get made quicker than others. In this case, we needed new art for the Freedom badge – and so it takes longer than shifting the current Patriot badge to the statue inside City Hall.

[/ QUOTE ]

States, I'm sorry: but apparently you didn't learn the lesson from the now locked thread: this is a bad idea. I realize it's your story and you want it fully realized, actualized in this game; but I think you are making a mistake putting anything in this game that in any way reflects real life politics. It's not your fault, of course, but that doesn't alter the ramifications.

Please reconsider and do not add either badge until you can be assured the majority of players are sufficiently mature enough to realize it's just a game, has no meaning other than entertainment and doesn't question their personal patriotism---i.e, that is, never add them, period.

thanks

We DID realize it was just a game, then people started complaining about the original badge and that’s when it started.

I do agree on one thing, in a GAME get rid of both, it is safer that way. Because after all this is the Devs livelihood and I would hate to see them suffer for this.

RL is a different matter.

Either way I get over things and will be fine with what Statesman wants to do.

I just hope it works out for you Devs, after all this is your bread and butter.

As long as it makes sense and a story anywhere near good, I’ll be fine.

OR, just make the flag PARAGON CITY'S FLAG, and be done with it. After all, regardless of the "nationailty" of our toons, we all are fighting within Paragon after all...

Can't wait to see all this new stuff guys!

[/ QUOTE ]

Are You Nuts!

I can just see it now CoH removes the American Flag out of the game?

What are you thinking?

Just pretend the your in the real city of Heroes and not playing a game.

For example, don't talk directly about the game like saying there is no XP in this mission for me, instead say this mission is not helping me to evolve. or somthing

If some Baddies are to high of a level for you to fight, don't say oh no guys these are Level 16 and we are only Level 8's, say somthing like, these foes are to powerfull for us and we should try another time and move on for now.

Get it?

Thanks guys, these are cool to read.

Until we get our Hero web pages or whatever, this will be pretty cool to see your stuff here in one place even if it is some ware else.

Thanks.

It gave me chills, but are you saying your Hero is an old Sprocket baddie?

All your Heroes Descriptions and or Bio's are welcome on this thread.

Here is one of mine to start

(M. Magnum)

M. Magnum had to step out of society and has become an elite member of an SG. Now only known as M. Magnum (Real name unknown). Rumors have it he was in his past life some sort of protector of society. An Evil Villainess Group has framed him for a crime so bad he would have been put away for the rest of his life, in an attempt to get him out of the way. His Enemies sure as hell could not have taken him out any other way.
Quotes you might hear M. Magnum say are;

“Guns, Aliens, Women,...and they say dreams don't come true.”

“Look you alien SCUMBAG...I don't know what planet you're carcass is from...but when I’m done with you, you'll be living in a world of pain!!!”

“I thought aliens were of a higher intelligence but these dumschmuks keep coming back for more”

“Vahz’s got that kind of ugly that all the alcohol in the bar couldn't cure”

“Why do I drink so much? To make you interesting”

“It's time for the Rikti to go back to their planet….. In small PIECES!”

“Insurmountable Odds? That's just the way I like it!”
