It doesn't even have to be anything that big, honest! Hell, I'd settle for a day of Arachnos invading Paragon.

[/ QUOTE ]

For one day only, all zones become PvP ones - with Arachnos invasion mobs, plus Longbow defense mobs

[/ QUOTE ]

At least that would be something NEW! Not just recycled invasions that most of us are pretty sick and tired of...

[/ QUOTE ]

For the wedding, they actually had Ouroboros flagged as a PvP zone, but Heroes and Villains were flagged as co-op until Recluse appeared, and then the fighting started

Well that just sounds like a pile of nothing.

[/ QUOTE ]

It can't be - nothing would be nothing - but as it's something, it must be something, and not nothing

[/ QUOTE ]

Is that like a type of binary?

You need to be more positive

Like Rikti, Zombies, Rularuu and 5th Column all at once?

That sounds exciting!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes - and it's coming "Soon"

[/ QUOTE ]

Like everything else in this game.

I want a firework display over Atlas Park, that'll spell out "SOON" in gigantic letters

Always thought there was something special about Defiant

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. short bus special.

Union's still waiting for the bus

Cimerora doesn't count, as it's effect on the story hasn't been fully revealed yet

[/ QUOTE ]

Fixed for you

"Fury"? I'm not a Brute
And I wasn't mad at anyone when I wrote that - I was being sarcastic, because it was so silly to expect "nothing" from NCSoft when we're getting close to a very important time period for them

No sign on the EU markets though, but maybe this'll help drum up some new players for said games.

Just not for EU side.

[/ QUOTE ]

*cough* That press release covers both North America and Europe . The games aren't available just yet, however they should be later today (US time).

I've edited the thread title slightly to reflect this.

[/ QUOTE ]

So they'll be coming "Very Soon"?

Done while Cryptic and NCsoft were still working together on 'City of' - unless of course you are infering that Cryptic were fishing for content for their possible sequel while still working on this game - /conspiracy on.

[/ QUOTE ]

Based on what Cryptic have said, they started work on CoX2 soon after CoV shipped. Which would put it at about the same time as those polls. Of course, CoX2 then went on to become MUO, and eventually CO.


[/ QUOTE ]

This time, they'll be cutting out the sequel bit, and going straight to the big name title - instead of the CoH/dev resources switched to CoH 2/start work on MUO sequence, they'll just go CO/dev resources switched to STO.
It's the Cryptic/Jack way - he's a restless native, who always needs a new project

[ QUOTE ]
lets hope Paragon Studios pulls something exciting out of the bag for Issue 15.

[/ QUOTE ]

They will

[ QUOTE ]

Personally, I'm sick and tired of all the "soon" rubbish, and no longer expect ANYthing from NC.

[/ QUOTE ]

So just what exactly do you think the 3-times-as-large dev team are doing right now?
Jay previously made costume parts and new NPCs at the same time while working on his own, so obviously with an assistant now he's only capable of making a few costume parts for a booster pack.
BAB used to work alone too - but he's got at least one assistant in the animation department now - so I guess NCSoft really wanted to make sure that /e cardtrick emote looked just right?
War Witch - who does zone NPC text and placement - is certainly blackmailing NSCSoft to keep her job, as she's had next to no work in the previous two Issues.
And NCSoft, well aware of the two new superhero MMOs on the way, rehired Sean "Manticore" Fish - the CoH story/lore guru - right after they bought the game, because they thought it'd be cool for him to hang out with his old work team again?
And apparently NCSOft are still looking to hire more for the dev team - just to help out the economy, of course.
So now that the MA is released - quite obviously the last thing left on their "to do" list - they call all kick back with soda or coffee and fully enjoy their renamed studio while NCSoft donates even more cash to them.
Because it's totally unlikely that the devs would actually be working, or have a strategy bulit around the release of possible competitor MMOs, or that NCSoft would even want them to do this.

When all the firings happened in Brighton recently, Avatea or GR posted that a board merger with the US was something that was being looked at, but they never said it was definitely going to happen.

Hell, GR's been promising us new forum software for nearly a year, and that's still not turned up, so I wouldn't hold your breath for a forum merger...

Personally, I'm sick and tired of all the "soon" rubbish, and no longer expect ANYthing from NC.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. New forums, City Vault, I13's motto being "all your base belong to us"...all just a lot of attractive things to make players come back...and then try to make us all forget about it.

Altering schedules and priorities is not the same as abandoning

Well, it depends if hitting 50 is your main goal or not

I noticed a piece in MMOZine about City of Heroes and its Fifth anniversary.

Good advertising you may say, but what do we get about the future?

Something like "We have tons of stuff planned for the future but we cant tell you anything."

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt but I cant tell you what is on it.

[/ QUOTE ]
but theres loads of cool stuff, honest!

[/ QUOTE ]

This is true

Welcome to the forum, Crim Fletch

The things they're taking out aren't being taken out for good - just until they fix them so they can't be exploited.
