  2. We can't forget the SEGS project. They're probably our best chance at continuing CoH after it's gone.
  3. Maybe if SEGS does their thing, they can include it.
  4. If I had more than a basic knowledge of C++, I'd lend a hand.

    Boycott NCSoft

    Quite simply, Boycott NCSoft. Don't buy their products. They're killing City of Heroes for no apparent reason, and pretty much giving the finger to a large group of customers. I think if they're gonna flip us off, we should do the same right back. Cancel any NCSoft Subscriptions, and get your friends to do so, too. Perhaps if enough people pitch in, they'll hear us and give us back our game.

    I'm gonna be the first to pledge to do so. NCSoft will receive no more money from me unless City of Heroes and Paragon Studios survives.
  7. Oh, god, not EA. I'm still boycotting them after what they did to Spore.

    VIP only?

    Edit:
    Hmm looks like it might be:
    I have the same problem, and I'm VIP...

    The style of Dragonball Z is very different from the style of Ghost in the Shell, or Yokohama Shopping Trip. There's a big range of what you can do with "anime style" and I would be hesitant to dismiss the whole thing or accept the whole thing too quickly.

    Anyway, those are my thoughts. Some interesting discussion here.

    Well said, Frei.

    Only if we get such wetware tech parts for our own costumes.

    It would appear, Mercykilling, that you are using a different definition of "options".

    Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary states that "options" means:

    While it would appear that your definition of "options" is the above, except appending "unless I don't like it." While you may dislike a particular STYLE, as Anime is an ART STYLE, NOT a GENRE, that does not preclude it as a valid and viable addition to this game. If you do not like the idea of Anime/Manga-inspired elements, simply avoid them.

    (Also, nobody was accusing you of racism...No clue where you got that...)

    Fixed. Might I remind you that nerds may sometimes ruin things, but we also created Doctor Who, Computer Science, and the Electric Guitar.

    Is it Anime? Is it Western Animation? Is it BOTH?! Noooobody knoooows!!
  21. I agree. This is an awesome idea. Perhaps relative silence means something similar is planned?

    We need more over-the-top stuff anyway. This game is far too tame to be called a "super-hero" MMO!
    Agreed.I'm really pumped about Martial Combat's Anime-style Flash Step attack.
