I assume this means you're going with the Cat Stuck in Tree Missions ...

[/ QUOTE ]

That would be amusing. You're running through a zone and see some poor schmuck tanker holding a tree that's been pulled out by the roots, trying to shake loose some terrified cat...

[/ QUOTE ]

There you go!! The hero version of a Mayhem mission!!

Big Tanker, there is trouble in Oaktree Lane! The Outcasts have been tormenting kittens in the area! They've chased them up trees! Locked them in cars without windows rolled down! They've even cemented them into walls! Get to Oakktree lane and smash those kittens free!!

A new armor set for both would be nice.

Scrappers could use a punching set other than dark melee.

Tankers would so look cool swinging a broadsword around.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agree.

If not these, I would at least like to know if any are in the works.

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed..

More defensive sets AT LEAST. I mean come one. Scrappers and Tankers have had the same four defense sets since release. FOUR SETS. That isn't a whole lot of choice there. Is there any wonder I am kind of mift that we aren't getting anything?

[/ QUOTE ]

Seriously! I don't like repeating set either so I'm limited to 4 tanks...

For those who have speculated that Newspaper missions are coming to City of Heroes, they aren’t…yet. That’s coming a little later in the year. I’d like to add something different to the CoH system…

[/ QUOTE ]

As long as CoH-specific players have had to wait for some quality additions and content, I think you've about overdone that cute teaser bit. But that's just me. Start putting some real cards on the table please, Statesman.

[/ QUOTE ]

Again.. I hope I8 has one of the quicker 2-month releases rather then the normal 3 or 4 month ones. It already looking like a year gap between CoH PvE updates...

[ QUOTE ]
wow... this kinda exploded overnight

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, red names and Miss Kitty do that to threads....

[ QUOTE ]
City of Heroes will receive a cool graphics upgrade, new base items (Empowerment stations!) and access to Recluses’ Victory.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sorry.. but you can't say Base Items are a Coh addition when they require you to own CoV to access. If you make it so anyone can enter, own, and create a base without CoV, then you can say they are a CoH addition.

Some of us actually think it's more fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

And how do you feel now?
BURN!

Anyway... i7 in April. Heh. I feel bad for myself, and worse for CoH'ers.

[/ QUOTE ]How the hell am I to decide? I7 isn't even out yet.
And that whole superiority over others bit gets old. Really fast.


[/ QUOTE ]

What? CoHers waiting longer for almost nothing is suppose to make us feel worse then we already do?

And yes, it does get old fast.

[ QUOTE ]
Sometime in April is a good guess. It's not like I7 going to be on test for a week or 2. I expect at least a month of testing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes.. I look forward to that testing! I'll be... I'll be... be... be testing... QoL features?

[ QUOTE ]
The people with COH have waited for something new for months and month and have got nothing. You don't alienate one group to improve another.

[/ QUOTE ]

Assuming Gamespot has the correct release month... we'll only have waited for 8 months since the last PvE content addition to CoH. Its gets better when you look at I8 being another 2 to 4 months after that... releasing it 10 to 12 months after the last PvE update to CoH.

[ QUOTE ]
Defenders have holds?


[/ QUOTE ]

They use to...

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, I know, optimist. Oh well. I just don't see the point to getting all worked up until the exact and complete contents of i7 are known. I learned that lesson during the great controller debacle.

[/ QUOTE ]

As primarily a defender player, I can't say I have alot of experience with unannouced suprises like that...

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you get your primary power's duration cut in half with recharge times doubled? Man, was I <bleeped>. And I posted a very angry bit to States.

Then I logged onto test...

Then I apologized.



[/ QUOTE ]

Nope! Well... we did have our holds reduced and recharges on them lengthened at that time...

Then I logged onto test...

Well.. I'm still waiting for some defender love.

[ QUOTE ]
I can agree with no new CoH zones.

[/ QUOTE ]

Come on.. can't everyone name the 28 zones of CoH off the top of their heads?

Personally I don't want many new zones... but adding content to existing zones...


[ QUOTE ]
Mayhem Missions (Villains only)
Other New Missions (Villains only)

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh right... I hope that's not absolute...

[ QUOTE ]
As a villain, my response to hero complaints regarding the upcoming issue would have to be summed up as follows:

BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!

Maniacal laughter doesn't really carry across in text very well.

[/ QUOTE ]

Trying to intice us to use the PvP zones more, are you?

[ QUOTE ]
There are several 'outdoor' instanced missions set in Paragon City available to CoV players.

[/ QUOTE ]

*Hands Clintonian a sarcasm detector*

[ QUOTE ]
I stand corrected, then. I've never looked too much into CoV, so. However, I think the point still stands. I mean, content gaps in CoH has been discussed since before CoV was in existence. I just figured they'd have different priorities in order. But I guess those Mayhem missions are CoV's equivalent to CoH's outdoor missions in Issue 1, but I'm sure CoV has outdoor missions, so...

[/ QUOTE ]

<_<

Outdoor missions in CoV? Ha! I never saw one...

>_>

We have all the CoV people crying for the quantity of CoH.
Alot of people have left CoH because of a lack of quality compared to CoV.

It it really hard to say which game is really lacking behind!

[ QUOTE ]
Grovel insect-monster, and hope that your miserable money is found to be pleasing to the almighty Statesman, lest he cast it back in your face and you die of shame!


[/ QUOTE ]

O_o

Were you talking to me.. because this issue feels like he throwing something back at me, and its not the money I gave Crytpic....

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
And for the record, it's highly frustrating to see all this good news about how wonderful I7 is going to be and have the immediate reaction be, 'This isn't enough!'

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

[/ QUOTE ]

Is that the only reaction?

[/ QUOTE ]

For those who don't like CoV, don't own CoV, or for any other reason only want to play CoH, is there another reaction to be had?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
All I want for CoH is villain costumes and newspaper missions. They just get those in, I'll be fine....

I reeeealllllllllllly hope they got brokers in. >_<

[/ QUOTE ]


How the heck would brokers fit into CoH?

[/ QUOTE ]

Police chiefs and a police scanner.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah.. buit the whole CoV contact system is based on brokers, CoH is not. Other then an occational hero version of a heist, what would be the point?

There goes that theory.

*shrug*

I've been wrong before... if fact the first time I had a red name post in reply to me was to correct me... Statesman himself no less...

[ QUOTE ]
The game doesn't revolve around Heroes, luv.

[/ QUOTE ]

City of Heroes does. And people who only have CoH don't get very much with I7.

The last thing I want to do is join in the whining about an issue I'm very excited about. But there isn't really a 'CoX' as such - there's CoH and CoV, and the PvP zones where they overlap. CoH does still deserve to be seen as its own game. For some people, it's the only 'City of' game they have.

I'm sure they HAVE done a lot with CoH that just isn't in the press release. New mission art, that kind of thing.

[/ QUOTE ]


Didn't States say they're trying to get newspaper tech, combined missions and other QoL villain stuff into CoH? I remember a post where he said they're working on it, but I don't remember if he said they're aiming for i7 with that stuff.

If they are, heroes will be very, VERY happy.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually I believe he said they would not make it into I7....

[ QUOTE ]
You guys have access to flying to the top of Atlas's globe, so there.

[/ QUOTE ]

But you have the Giant Atom!

Nyah!

[ QUOTE ]
Just because you refuse to participate in certain aspects of the game doesn't mean the dev's should caiter to your needs. You don't PvP - but PvP zones still have PvE missions with cool outcomes and awesome temp powers. You refuse to enter them apparently.

Your loss

CoV is an expanshalone. You can play it without CoH, but lets face it...it's an expansion. You refuse to either buy or play this expansion.

Your loss

Hon, there is new content in this Issue for Heroes. And it does include a whole new (PvP) zone for them. Just because you refuse to use it is YOUR problem, not ours.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh yes.. its obvious that the PvP zones are what keeps the game alive! I mean just look at the huge percentage of players that PvP! Ultiamtely you add what keeps people playing, and judging by the activity of the current PvP zones, its not PvP.

[ QUOTE ]
This release is full of good news if you are a PVPer and/or a villain, and full of some amazing potential even if you prefer heroes and PVE. We don't know the details nor if this is only PART of what is coming out.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know about that Heroes PvE part Pil. Frm teh patch notes this looks like we're going from the orginal Super Mario Bros on the NES to Super Mario Bros on Super Mario All-Stars in the SNES. Same game with diffrent grahics, lots of eye candy. If you were bored with Super Mario Bros on the NES, you'd be bored with it on the SNES.
