    If you going to do that may as well just force unique globals.
    Yes.

    ahh,

    Although I suck at FPS in any mode, except for Golden Eye on my N64 (I think the controller helped)

Standing still and firing off skills as they come off cooldown while you wallow in long-term buffs is pretty static. Constant movement, watching the enemy's animations, and choosing which short-term buff or heal to use when, to me, is a much more exciting and dynamic system.
    This 100 times!! once I got into the GW2 Beta I could not play CoH or LoTRO which I pay or payed for VIP time. It was sooooooooo slow and boring.

    I play a thief in GW2 and I Love the consent movement in and out of range, fighting with dual daggers or sword/dagger up close and flipping away while I switch to my dual pistols/bow/dagger, it is the most fun I have had in a MMO since I first tried CoH.

  7. I have to agree with Feycat its a 180 ° from my experience, I am at lvl 30 just exploring all the 1-17 (Starting zones)areas and doing hearts(quest) and have not finished the human area yet.

    You dont have to be that quick on reflexes but learning how your opponents move is important. Feycat explain's it better then I could anyway, but sorry you are not having fun.

    Edit: also what do you consider griefing?

    Correct, The Charr are very wary of magic and those who use it ,they are more tech (Steam-punk style) based ;they go as far as not believing in the gods they once had and the gods of the other races, The Asura are more techno-magic although I have played them much yet.

    Charr area looks like this:




    Not avaible for players (yet)

    While the Asura look like this:





    If you want I can go and try to get screens showing more about them but this is what I had on hand.

    WHY DID WE NOT GET AN EQUALLY BEAUTIFUL COX2??!! Can you imagine CoX redone like that! God, what a game that would be, at least visually. I guess we just were not worth it or something.....?

    I am very torn right now. I think I may DL a GW2 trial and see how it goes. Nothing else I tried so far is working out, and Secret World makes me nervous. That game is not doing well *at all*. I dont want the rug yanked out from under me AGAIN a year or so from now; I have shed enough tears so far over losing my online community, and I'm not done shedding them yet.

    I can say that I would be VASTLY more willing to show my financial support for GW2 if CoX could be saved somehow. That would be a fine "thank you!" from me. I could find it in me to play two games. I prefer a more sci-fi feel to things of course, but there is no denying that visually, GW2 is a knockout.
    There is no GW2 free trail atm.

    I spoke to him out of game so I know it was him.

  16. I don't know about anyone else but I am enjoying the heck out of GW2, it is so much better then GW, Arenanet will keep getting my support.

  17. Since my VIP lapsed on Aug 18th I cant post this on justice;

    I want to give a quick Thank You to the Justice Server and to all former and current members of our SG: Department of Inter-Dimensional Defense (DOIDD). Thanks for all the good times and for giving me a virtual home for 8 years off and on.

  18. I would also like to thank the Devs and Community Managers past and present, you did good.

    I have to agree with GG, even Zwill said Freedom was not a failure , maybe Paragon was not making money hand over fist but it did not seem to be working in the red either.

    ________________

  20. I have tried DCUO was bored pretty quickly, Champions Online; I did not like at all. I was playing LoTRO, was fun but after I got into the GW2 beta it seemed so slow to me I cant log into it, with out getting frustrated on the pace.

    So right now I will be playing Guild Wars 2 even if I am mad at NCsoft I will support ArenaNet.

    You are most likely correct.
