I've been playing CoH off and on since beta. It's the best of all the super hero MMO's out there and one of the best MMO's hands down. It's got some of the best devs that I've ever seen in any MMO anywhere and I'm not just saying that. I never say anything just to say it. It makes me feel sad seeing it going away like this. The game at least from the outside looked like it was doing well, especially after the launch of Freedom. It'll feel weird to know that after the end of this year I just won't be able to come "home" anymore to my favorite MMO. I have so many fond memories of this game. The doors may shut, but those memories will always be with me. I'll definitely support the petition and be pushing that out there.

Thanks Z, you the man!

Just wondered if I was the only one.

I didn't see the Wisp Aura even available to be bought back, anywhere.

Hopefully we get an answer sooner than later.

I thought we were supposed to be getting one server transfer token per month. Did they take those away? I've actually been looking forward to using those to move some characters around.

I can't make a new character using the Wisp Aura even though I was able to before I21. It also doesn't show up at a tailor/trainer on a new character either. However, I still have it on characters who had it previously and it shows up at the tailor/trainer for those characters. Is this a bug?

Does anyone know is Powerset Proliferation 3.0 in on this build? I know they announced it and I assumed it was going in I21 but didn't see any word one way or the other.

Yeah, still can't login. Thought maybe after they did the reboot I might be able to but I'm still getting a message saying my account isn't flagged. I was really looking forward to it, but hey, it's a beta test, this kind of stuff happens.

Yeah I'm another one of those people that is trying to login and I'm getting the "not open to the public" message whenever I try to select the beta server.

I'd call that a "non answer" ala "the corporate response". PvP in this game is just broke. If PvP ever gets fixed I will probably sub again, but as it stands I'm going to let my account drop at the end of the month I think and probably go back over to DCUO. The old PvP was some of the most fun I've ever had in PvP in an MMO. Would love to see it back again.

What does taunt do to a squishy, other then keep them locked onto you?

The old PvP felt more like I was in a comic book. This doesn't.

One thing I can say to add to that, which I really dislike, is multiple movement powers in PvP. It's cheesey. You don't see heroes and villains doing it on a regular basis in a comic book.

Another cheesey issue is the rabid use of aid self and the power that lets players become intangible. The name of the later escapes me as it's very late in the AM and I was playing CoH most of the night LOL.

One thing that I think I hate the most about the later issues, is that it seems to detract from the game as I feel like I'm seeing clone characters out there and not really super heroes/villains in PvP.

I remember playing the CoV beta and being beside myself. It made me feel like I was playing in a super hero game. I can still remember when we tested Siren's Call that night and how much fun it all was. I remember the RV test too once that went to the test server. Those were some fun times.

I also think that there should be more of a point to PvP. In DCUO for example there are PvP maps where there are actual meaningful objectives. Such as, the villains are trying to turn people in a lab into raging mutants and it's the heroes job to stop the villains from succeeding. I'd love to see scenario based PvP. With the new que system coming into play that would only make it that much more viable to create such a system and provide tangible rewards such as merits, outright recipes, salvage, or even incarnate rewards.

NO ONE likes a nerf. No one. Everytime a nerf comes, someone somewhere loses a character that they love. I for one have a stalker that I loved, had great character hooks for him, even had built up a reputation as that character and had become hated as the villain that he was, and just had fun. Said character is now retired because of nerfs. He was one of my most favorite characters out of any MMO too. Since many of the nerfs, the character is just no longer fun to play.

That said, if you don't like something, I think you should voice your opinion. I also don't think you should take no for an answer. That doesn't mean I think anyone should stand up, yell at the top of their lungs and act like an irate hooligan either. If you dislike it, say clearly why and support arguments as to why.

Just saying "this sucks" isn't enough.

For me, the new PvP is just not fun anymore and I think that's the crux of it all and the major complaint.

As I also said, it doesn't feel like something out of a comic book either. Everyone takes the same "munchkin powers" just because they can. I miss the old days when anyone could pretty much bring any powerset out into PvP and people could just slug it out and give each other a beating.

I'm an avid PvP'er and PvP in every game I play. I've been PvP'ing since NWN on AOL, which is a long time, as it was the first MMO ever made. NWN was my favorite for PvP. The old PvP system was a very close second. The new/current PvP system, just isn't fun.

I don't know about anyone else but I play games to have fun. I would give anything to see the old PvP game come back.

I have an Invuln tanker (not slotted with IO's), but have enjoyed Willpower in PvE but have not done any PvP with a Willpower tanker at all. My biggest concern with a Willpower tanker is I know that RTTC is the main heal for a tanker so I am wondering how it handled in one on ones specifically. I know people don't stand around which makes RTTC sound like it's basically going to be junk in PvP. I'd love to hear any opinions and suggestions.
