Maybe with a bit of luck GamesCampus will pick up CoH (if no other company does).
Plenty of companies out there to do it.
-
I really hope you can continue doing this!

Yup. Was really excited about those coming origin pools. If sorcery tickled you, don't you dare track down the in-development pools that some folks discovered whilst pigg diving. No. You don't want to know about Utility Belt and it's slottable [Freerunning].
This. The blaster changes. The pool customization. The bodysuit costume pack and the cybertech dreadlocks. When I think about these things I get both sad and angry about the decision to axe the game and the hardworking folks at the studio. i24 was going to be glorious IMO. -
Quote:Yep, SW:TOR is also great, I played it for many months myself until the inevitable burnout kicked in shortly before 1.3 went live.Originally Posted by SteelRat
On another note (and not for a minute knocking the OP) aren't people just sick to the back teeth of fantasy genre games? I mean granted, it seems that all the games NCSoft has axed have been games that have been something other than poxy elves, dwarves and paladins and they've done so as a result of people not playing them very much, but what I don't understand is why.
As a genre, Science Fiction is as if not more popular than Fantasy, but the sci-fi genre in games tends to be over shadowed in favour of fanstasy (with the possible exception of EvE). I did look at GW2 after recommendation of some of my old SG mates, but I've also tried (and am absolutely loving) SW:TOR. Most will probably tell me why GW2 is the better game, but my digestive system will simply not allow me to endure yet another RPG based on a tired and much over used formula for the setting.
Of course it also isn't doing all that well... here's hoping that the F2P coming later this year will save that game, since just like CoH it deserves to stick around =/ -
Quote:In my case it came down to buying the serial number... no CDs or anything, so I'm fairly sure that once I redeemed it (months ago) that was it, no refunds.Originally Posted by DreadShinobi
If you bought the game as a digital download you cannot return it/get a refund.
If you bought a physical copy of the game, then you can. -
Quote:That would be a great solution!Originally Posted by Smurch
The option no one seems to have considered is that instead of selling the game, they could just spin off Paragon Studios and then license it to them.
This is the win-win-win
NCSoft keeps all the IP, doesn't contribute any funding, and just collects checks. Paragon Studios continues to develop the game and just has to keep it profitable. In case of a COH2, NCSoft could still do that. And the players get to keep their game.
Now if only THEY would realize it... >.< -
Like many others I had already pre-purchased GW2 before NCSoft dropped the hammer on CoH, and despite the utter jackass move NC pulled... yes, GW2 is a good game, and in many ways the next Gen MMO...
That doesn't mean I want to give up CoH, as GW2 is a completely different game with its own strengths and limitations. -
Quote:I'm not sure if this hasn't happened already but... if it didn't, why not just cut off the Asian branch of CoH? From what I've heard the game was a huge failure over there, and it would definitely reduce infrastructure and what-not costs.Originally Posted by DarkGob
Not possible. It was always a niche game and it will never be as successful as the rest of their games because the rest of their games are super-popular in Asia in a way that City of Heroes could never be (see: City of Hero). The game didn't get ditched just because it wasn't profitable enough, it was because NCSoft made some dumb business decisions and decided to recoup the costs by cutting their least profitable (but actually still profitable) game.
-
I haven't quite given up on CoH yet, though I certainly might give CO another shot if the sun does set on Paragon...
-
Out of all the players named "Paladin" that I've run into in the many MMO's that I've played, you've been the only one to really live up to the name.
Best of luck wherever you go after this! (Should CoH's lights go out indeed that is!) -
Quote:That's pretty much the impression I got from it!Originally Posted by Golden Girl
From the use of the word "investors", it sounds more like they are looking to negotiate a separation from NCSoft, and try to put together backing to become an indie studio.
Thanks for sharing, I hope they'll manage to work something out! -
Heya folks, recently someone showed me the demon girl that asks you to trick people into eating the candy, but we failed to complete her task despite talking to all the people outside.
Does anyone know how to complete this event? -
Aha, very good to know - thank you!
-
Anyone know if there is a way to get Claim all to work if you have level 50 Incarnate rewards in there?
I find it incredibly aggravating that now after years they've finally added a claim all function and then the moment you unlock any Incarnate costume parts it all goes out the window. =/ -

Ha! I especially like how he "kicks" open his trunk, and then Blue Steel has a cameo - in which he does absolutely nothing.
I would also like to see all these civilians trapped in buildings, and heroes flying around saving them, in the tutorial. Or maybe allow higher level heroes to go into another version of destroyed Galaxy City and do some sort of saving people type mission?
A good story all in all though. I hope one of the (non-player) heroes rescues him.
Fellow deserves it!
Maybe we'll even see him in a mission at some point?

Quote:2) Rikti Magi (Magus), the ones that show up on the Rikti Mothership Raid. *nods*Originally Posted by Hercules
My impressions from running through it once:
1. The dialog seemed a bit ... stilted. Definitely could use some polishing.
2. Theoden didnt sound much like a member of the lost - and the writer of the story didnt seem to be aware of the link between the Lost and Rikti.
Could have sworn there were Rikti "Mages", so I fail to see why the
Lost would be opposed to the use of magic.
3. I like the new maps. Cool use of lava.
4. I do not like timed missions. Period. I was not able to complete anything
before the timer ran out.
5. Too many ambushes. The use of unending triggered ambushes needs to stop.
Not sure if they are actually mages though, they might be strong psychics.
4) The timer's alright once you know what to do, I failed it the first several times as well.
The outcome's pretty much the same though (small clue on the redside and a small glimpse of someone on the blueside).
5) I mostly just raced to the objectives to make the ambushes stop, but yes, if you stay to fight them off they can be obnoxious.
All in all I've very much enjoyed the new arcs though, cool maps and a nice intro to start the arc off with. -
Ouch, good thing I'm mostly busy tomorrow... x.x
And for those few hours that I DO need to cover... *eyes Fable 3 while muttering about not having a Diablo 3 beta invite*
Hopefully things will get better soon, since yes, there has been a LOT of unscheduled downtime lately.

DXP week or free PP's or -something-.... those costume codes are just a slap in the face to be honest.. a handful of people get something for what everyone is suffering for.. be better if you just laughed at us and be done with it..
Pretty much, and the actual one time I get lucky enough to get picked and actually win at the paper, rock, scissors system one of the mods was using last time, I get completely shafted and told to reroll because she wasn't paying attention - despite the fact that several people confirmed the roll was simultaneous (which led to getting jacked around for a good half hour, waiting while she came up with a different system several times until finally going home empty-handed).
So yeah, as far as I'm concerned they can keep their downtime "events". -
As already pointed out, the Volcanic aura was forgotten in the actual post. >.>
Except for the signature arc that aura is the only thing of interest to me (and one of the only two "new" things, since the others are promotions unless I'm mistaken).
I am glad to see the store being updated frequently though!
-
While traveling the new Atlas Park I saw these and had an "Awww, I remember these!" moment.
It would be nice to see them get a revamp to go with our new age of Freedom, like maybe using them to list upcoming goodies to the store (with an in character twist of course), like having them talking about Longbow's latest hoverboards, the awesome new beam rifles Kord Industries is selling, ect!
Of course the Rogue Isles could have their own version of it, just make Recluse's big tv's clickable!
-
Just curious, all the other ATs benefit much more from those bonuses than a Mastermind ever will since their damage modifier is so low (as are their actual attack powers with a few exceptions) and their primary damage source is their pets.
Thanks though! -
I seem to recall that damage bonuses from sets (such as the fourth set bonus for Mako's Bite; +3% dmg) only affected the MM and not the pets.
Does anyone have any idea whether this was ever changed? -
Heya folks, anyone know whether the dmg proc of this Incarnate ability is influenced by Granite Armor's -dmg debuff effect? (and the Judgement abilities for that matter? x.x)
-
Welcome to Virtue! Looks like I was on the Moonfire TF with you during the weekend (as Hellbound Phoenix).

Quote:Awesome, thanks Necro!Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
heres what it says on Avateas weekly tf post
Do you happen to know what happens if you're on a S/TF and it changes before you complete it?
Is the extra reward still granted since you started it on time or does it go back to default? -
Heya folks, I was wondering whether anyone knows what time the WST changes.
Just so I don't wind up doing a Tarikoss SF after it's already changed to the LGTF for example. x.x
