Can so. I think, if they actually worked on it and took some time, it could be epic. Anything done half-a$$ed will suck, obviously, but theres no reason something thats planned out couldnt be great.
Besides, things like scabbards and w/e used as costume details could coincide with more costume details that would work in similar ways, like backpacks, back details, amongst others. Maybe even, heaven forbid, CoT style robes!

Yes - nice long dresses - they managed to duck out of it with tunics in Cimerora, but a medieval zone would demand them

Yeah, and that's my point: I don't think I've ever seen an advert for any MMO outside WoW, at least no more than the bits and pieces I've seen for CoH here and there. When I first started playing MMOs a few years back, I didn't really know of any that existed outside WoW, and I only got into them (namely this and EvE) through a mate at work.

NCSoft used to advertise extensively in Marvel comics. That's what got me into the game originally but that seems to have fallen by the wayside.

[/ QUOTE ]

Possibly that whole Marvel suing Cryptic thing might have caused a rethink

[/ QUOTE ]

or it may have been part of the "secret settlement"

[/ QUOTE ]

Not sure who would have benefited from that part - Cryptic have to stop adverts in a comic book for a comic book game, and Marvel has to stop taking money from them

The times I've been on a TF when ghosting has been done is usualy becuase it's pretty late at night for the other people on the team - like last night, we were doing Manticore, but it it must have been like 4 in the morning Euro time when we finished, and that was including ghosting several missions.

*sigh* Like I said...they want to improve their character for whatever reason it is. They will farm for x million inf to get that rare recipe, to maybe get the edge on Rommy in a ITF or just become more powerful in PvE.

They will give up funplay because they are doing it to improve another part of the game, character development, which they will actually use for funplay. See?

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, not really. Does it actually improve the game having a more powerful character?. Cant see it myself. All cotent can be done on an average one. Character development? I cant see anything behind that.

Is a more powerful character more fun? Funnily enough, I find it marginally more dull.

Im not knocking farming here, im just trying to understand something I cannot empathise with.

For PvP, it can make a difference - any little boost to your stats is important if you're fighting another experienced PvPer - so it's kinda like an arms race - if one regular PvPer fills up with purples, their regular opponents will feel they need to do the same to keep on an even level with them.

Cimemora works, but only just, and in fact the only time I ever go there is for the ITF

[/ QUOTE ]There's nothing else to do there that's fun, though.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, the zone is very pretty to look at - although I imagine a medieval zone would be a bit darker and grittier

Last day for many, but not for all of us just yet. You'll have to put up with me for a little while longer yet .

And it'd still be generic and [censored]

[/ QUOTE ]

By this logic, every Medieval themed hero and villain is also generic and [censored].


[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah but they mostly are.

The whole concept of "medieval" in comicbook lore has been done to death and failed. Look at the Captain Britain origin - straight from the pages of Mallory with Herb Trimpe art and that was the only thing that kept it going as long as it did.

Medieval & Superheroes don't mix. Cimerora just about works because it's a dip in zone. Totally optional (and I think goes towards the Well of the Furies origin arc.)

There are so many other worthy time periods and zones to discover within the Superhero/comicbook genre. Yes, we can have dragons (Fin Fang Foom anyone?) but please god no!!! Not the damsel in distress [censored] that's been done to death and belongs in a bygone age!!!!!

Go play AoC if that's what you want. They got a new patch today so have fun with that instead

[/ QUOTE ]

Other peoples opinions differ.
Maybe they could have the damsel in armour (Valkyrie, y'know, maybe? ) if it really bugs you that much.
Anyway, CoX sure as hell isnt WoW or AoC, and never will be by any comparable measure.

[/ QUOTE ]

Keep the person in distress - just make it a guy instead - like a prince you have to rescue

[ QUOTE ]
Ok its late but stil.. how on earth do you 'slash' with a skirt?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, if it's designed to cut, it probably has blades on the hem, so their weight would mean you'd just need to flick your hips to get them slashing

But superwomen also need to go fast

[ QUOTE ]
a double-sided hula skirt slash

[/ QUOTE ]

You'll need an animated skirt to do that - so mention the need for more animated stuff to Jay when you get over here

[ QUOTE ]
And it'd still be generic and [censored]

[/ QUOTE ]

If it was using a special style, how could it be generic?

Aww, why no actual increase to normal flight speed? How are we supposed to be faster than a speeding bullet?

What are you people talking about?

[/ QUOTE ]

For GG... a beginning. not the definitive answer but I hope our transatlantic buddies can make sense of this (and if you do, can you enlighten us, please?)

[/ QUOTE ]

That doesn't really help much - but thanks anyway

[ QUOTE ]
She has, she really has

[/ QUOTE ]

Where?

A medieval zone could still be done in the CoH style

I don't think you have, actually

What are you people talking about?

[ QUOTE ]
I don't think those hairs are remotely animated

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes - that's why I said it wasn't what I was expecting

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
But it'd add even more variety - if we have time travel in the game, then we surely should have zones for the periods we can travel to.

[/ QUOTE ]

There's plenty of comic/superhero stuff they can add without kshites in nining armour. We don't need that and if you are into that, go play AoC or WoW

[/ QUOTE ]

So Romans and minotaurs are ok, but knights and dragons aren't?

That wasn't what I was expecting

[ QUOTE ]
That gives me a flashback from AO. Was a race there called Atrox, which were genderless but, to me anyway, looked very much like beefy men.

[/ QUOTE ]

The way that thing's dressed, I'd put it down as gender-confused, rather than genderless

But it'd add even more variety - if we have time travel in the game, then we surely should have zones for the periods we can travel to.
