Quote:Because CO and DCUO are unworthy, there will be an attempt to create some kind of online sueperhero experience if NCSoft refuses to be reasonable.Originally Posted by Optimus_Dex
DCUO was very nice to look at, not very good to paly. Champions Online was bad, art wise and awful in it's lack of choices in player creation. They say it gives you more choices after level 10 but I'm no that intrested in jumping thru hoops after playing COH.
I'm only intrested in a Superhero game so when this one is done so am I. -
Quote:I'm assuming that the combined superhero MMO market share of CO and DCUO is about 16.5%.Originally Posted by Mad Grim
Only 83.5% in favor?
For shame! -

Champions Online: The quality of lacking substance. Vapid. Pointless. Shallow.

The composite video has semi-viral potential, I think - it'd look impressive to any gamer, even if they'd never played CoH.
The only change I'd suggest would be to use OminousVoice's version of the Atlas Park fanfare, as it carries a bit more pnuch than the in-game one. -

Freitag you should go work for Cryptic, and bring all of Paragon with you.. Or as much of them as you can. Go. Hunt. Give Champions Online an Incarnate system.

I like that we've got enough numbers to force a trending Twitter topic - that could be useful if we get to the stage where we need to put out a few truths about NCSoft.

Can't put my finger on why, but the powers in CoH just seemed so much more substantial.

I'm pretty sure that we beat the Freedom stress test for I21.
-
Freedom server seems to have hit the max too.
-
Atlas Park 32 just popped up - the log-in queue for Virtue is 200+
-
This is one of the options that we're looking at - but there are legal as well a technical problems with it.
-
There's already a "Save CoH" page, which is our Twitter hashtag, so it might make sense to make the "Save CoH" page the "offfical" rescue effort page.

Quote:If they were fur suits, we wouldn't even be in this situation.Originally Posted by Jachim
We have an entire RP group called the VERMIN on Victory.. for about six years we've RPed and now it's all useless.
It's more devastating than the suits in NCSoft know.
As for your RP group, any attempt to set up a player created and run onlien sueprhero expeience if the worst happens on November 30th would be furry-friendly - inclusiveness is a major reason why CoH and its comunity are so special, so any spiritual successor would also be inclusive. -

When that final map server message comes into view I shall shed tears for the last time over this mishandled, depressing mess.

Quote:Some kind of indie game would be the goal of Plan Z - which is pretty crazy - but if crazy is all weäve got left, tehn we'äll just have to eb crazy.Originally Posted by TimTheEnchanter
So what exactly is this? An interactive RP board? Brainstorming for an indie game?
But the fight to save CoH isn't over - we're continuing to spread the story and get signatures for the petition, and are carrying on with several other options to encourage NCSoft to do the right thing. -
Quote:I' say it was more of a logical one - just look at how many people are deeply attached to their avatars, from the RPers with years of plots woven out of the game lore, through the people who filled out a few lines in their bio to the players who just have a backstory in their heads when they play - every single one of them has found a part of the CoHverse that clicked with them - and if the worst happened, and we were forced to turn to Plan Z, then it'd our duty to them and to the memory of the game that inspired them to attempt to give them a new world where they could all feel at home.Originally Posted by jfp2004
An interesting concept.
-
The shareholder option is a non starter - the kind of money you'd looking at for it could be used to rehire the dev team and finance a whole new superhero MMO.
-
Quote:It's important to make it clear that Plan Z, if we were forced into it as our only option, would not be one person's interpretation of the game, or even the views of a small handful of players - what some people dislike about one part of the lore, others have use that same part to generate entire SGs - the main goal of a new IP would be to allow every single player's current backstory and bio to be translated into the new environment with only a few tweaks needed for names, places and dates.Originally Posted by IanTheM1
I already had plans to radically retcon, remake, and rewrite certain...unfavorable story elements from the last six months of CoH for my personal RP group, and even if folk disagree on the changes I was planning on making, the point was I was in the process of making the jump from purely original RP content to creating full blown fanfic.
Me and the rest of the guys at Great Forge Studios are also still working on completing a finished build of our City of Heroes tabletop/PnP game by November, which should provide another outlet for folks as well. (The PnP game will adhere more strictly to existing canon, albeit with some small changes.) NeverDark will eventually be putting up a post here on the forums along with a video explaining more about the project within the week if all goes well. -
We've been getting a lot of volunteer offers from writers, which is to be expcted when the game has the AE - but we're also going to need plenty of coders, modellers and artists if we're forced into Plan Z.
-
Quote:There are already some basic ideas being kicked around as Plan Z - as the name implies, that plan will only get put into operation if NCSoft takes everything from us - the game, the source code, the IP - it will be a co-operative project involving as many members of the community who want to take part, and the basic project goal will be to create an online superhero experience in some form that translates the spirit of CoH into a new environment.Originally Posted by LadyGrimrose
Yes, I'm proposing we create our own Comic Book universe. Get something good out of all this. This would be an amazing way to keep the community together and show everyone just how tight a group we really are.
But right now, we're still only 1 week into the crisis, and we're focusing on saving CoH for everyone here. -
If there was a CoH2, there is no chance that they'd use the same engine - not just because it's 10 years old, but because the whole open ended license issue from another studio would just make it pointlessly complicated.
-
We have no intention of stopping - not even on December 1st.

The old standalone CCBuilder has a very limited costuming options. You wouldn't like it. It's like only the stuff available up to I4.

If the time comes for any fundraising, we'll be spreading the news on every available CoH site to let the players know.
