I haven't "given up".
I'm a realist about it right now though. NCSoft is NOT interested in selling at this juncture.
Let's see how a few lousy quarters tenderizes them though. Maybe the game ITSELF won't be able to be resurrected. But the IP could be freed up in the future.
Nobody here has ANYTHING to feel ashamed about.
We tried. We did everything humanly possible within the realms of sanity to try and save the game. Unfortunately, NCSoft, at this juncture, is absolutely insane and looking to scuttle the property.
However, we DID give them a hell of a shock with our organization. Everyone who participated in that should feel quite proud of themselves for that.
The monster black-eye this closure is going to give them via word-of-mouth in the next few years (think about it, a company with millions of players being given a big old shiner by ~50,000 or so people that aren't even in their core market) is going to be another legacy of this.
Also, hopefully, the discussions it has sparked about the nature of online communities and MMOs in general will be a fitting legacy for us all.
It's been an honor and privilege to work and play with all of you (even the ones I've wanted to boot in the head on occasion). -

No what's silly is that those newly released titles with their newly released engines suck when compared to a dated game with a dated engine.
Those games should be blowing peoples minds with their awesomeness. People should be saying things like, "I love CoH but ***** is **king amazing. If I ever had to leave CoH that's where I'm going." instead of, "WTF? CoH is 10 years old and has all these new games beat hands down. It's like having to choose between piles of poo. Do I want the one that's firm with pieces of corn in it, or the soft runny one. The hell with this I'm not payin for poo."
Rather...INTERESTINGLY...expressed.
But yeah. I agree. -
I'm sure if you asked nicely, and promised not to create a thread post about them, someone would offer you a ride.

Champions actually shines in comparison. It still has a fair amount of integrity and lives up to its silver age vision.
I'll respectfully disagree.Quote:The last few years had our game get all kinds of features that had no business being in CoH.
Except for this one...Quote:You had bind on drop
I can see the store-bought stuff being bind-on to prevent abuse. But the Incarnate stuff bind-on was Just Bad.
How many forms of currency does Champions have right now?Quote:endless currency proliferation
Three tiers of "currency"
Questionite
Two (IIRC) forms of merits
And now Zen
Not to mention the absolutely recockulous prices of things
Which you don't get away from in CO. Plus the boring sameness of all the instanced content. They're all, more or less the same few maps with a different skin slapped on them.Quote:ridiculously long fights that you'd fire up a macro and walk away from
I didn't mind the raid content. It's just that they couldn't follow up with enough of it fast enough for it to stop being an utter, soul-reaving grind.Quote:stupidly formed raid type content that all looked like it had been lifted from Game X for no other reason than game X is doing well.
The fact is, the league management tools, while meaning well, completely ignored how most people ACTUALLY form raids in this game, which is a leftover from the pre-league teaming paradigm.
Had some of these league management tools been made available MUCH earlier (as in several years ago), it probably would have been tweaked and become a much more integral part of large-scale raiding. -

CoH doesn't close till December 1st.
After that, TT is moving to Champions Online.

Honestly, unknown. I found most of the bugs I outlined The Hard Way (ran into them, asked about them, was told about how bug-tastic that one happened to be, and finally dropped it).

Quote:When, exactly, did you run it? Because as of last month, the final mission was bugged to the point of being uncompletable.Originally Posted by Evanescah
But is still a helluva lot of fun. I even wrote fan-fiction for my character based on the bugs that turned a "routine training mission" into a life-or-death struggle for survival for the young trainee.
I did manage to solo it with my Behemoth. It's proving to be...difficult with my blaster/tank(ish). But we'll see.
I mainly use the world for RP and for getting my "hero" on when I'm in that kinda mood and need a break from the un-ending darkness that is my new life in The Secret World (which I highly recommend).
I think Champions is plenty good - just not in comparison with CoH. I'm hoping (probably in vain) that with the fresh blood coming into the game, there will be more updates and bug fixes and refreshes to that world that'll make it more CoH-like.
But honestly, it's fine the way it is. It's a poor sub for CoH but NOTHING could replace it.
E.
And yeah. It IS a lot of fun.
And yeah. Unfortunately, it's always going to suffer by comparison to CoH. It's just a testament to how great the Paragon staff actually was. -
Quote:Currently the final mission of Whiteout is uncompletable.Originally Posted by Ogi
Bugged for just solo play or teams as well? Hopefully just solo since there are only 5(?) TF like things in CO (the comic series and adventure packs, if there are more repeatable multiple mission TF like things I'm all ears, need selling points).
On a broad scale I've liked the idea behind Whiteout so far, the implementation, let's just leave it at I like the idea behind Whiteout.
Is there a better wiki than CO-Wiki? (If only NCSoft had realized, strike that, cared, just how far beyond the competition CoH and its community support were. Tomax, paragonwiki, so far I can't find their equal for CO.)
The enemies in the hall spam hold until it's essentially perma.
There's supposed to be a fix coming for this...eventually.
When it's actually going to happen? Dunno.
There's also other problems in there that can only be classified as "bugs".
The "free the prisoners" mission near the ship early on?
DON'T use anything that generates knockback. If you toss an enemy into the area the ship occupies? They get stuck. You can't attack them. But they can still snipe you. Preventing you from actually being able to click and free the prisoners (it's a click and wait X-seconds).
The investigation mission (the part that runs like "The Thing"), you sometimes have to completely exit (thus restart) the mission because the clickable doors fail to work right. -
Not signing in just yet. But will probably be doing so in the next week or two.
