Honestly, if the forums were this exciting all the time, I wouldn't have stopped (mostly) using them.

You did post a goodbye post though and then came back even though you said you probably wouldn't

[ QUOTE ]
They should leave the speeches to you, your better at them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Completely agree! More War Witch, everywhere please!

All the best. Hope you land somewhere else in the MMO world - plenty of choice these days!

I've been here a while (54 months) and my sub is paid up until September - I'm underwhelmed with the new content recently, but still love playing the old stuff.

By September, I'll have made a decision on whether I'm staying, but right now, I'll be hanging around Paragon and THe Rogue Isles.

I'd imagine they'd switch to the US Test Server where the biggest audience is.

Unless they dual box and have multiple Positron etc type accounts (heh heh, just imagined meeting P0s1tr0n and W4r W1tch )

Wait for the Coming Storm

By the looks of it, I'd spend less time waiting for the second coming of Christ.

They're probably just a mythical as each other anyway....

Thanks for 4.5 years of fun for me.

Let's hope this mid-life crisis you find yourself in at the moment is actually puberty and you're about to.... (I don't want to finish this metaphor, it'll get messy).

Happy Birthday COH!

Ditto

However, Posi also confirmed that he didn't read these forums, someone provided him with the info.

Fingers crossed they provide him with this!

[ QUOTE ]
I overwhelmingly got the impression that Posi thinks it's their game, they know what's best and sod the paying customer.


[/ QUOTE ]

Posi is really Jack in disguise!

It was early in the morning for them, probably done before the start of the working day. I know how grumpy I get if someone calls me before 8am.

[ QUOTE ]
You should have seen the amount of badgering he got for a Dark Astoria revamp.

It was odd, Posi seems adamant that a zone revamp would be a waste of time compared to new zones, whereas almost all the players in the crowd would have rather seen Dark Astoria get a revamp...was a real clash of dev opinion vs player opinon...

[/ QUOTE ]

Kind of makes you feel for the PvP'ers, doesn't it?

Just to keep this stuff together:

Posi: We could write Arcs, but with MA out there, we'd rather write TF/SF's

Encouraging at least...

What I've heard from him isn't boosting my confidence. The fact that normal arcs seem to be MA based in his head and that zone revamps are less worthwhile in his eyes than new zones, not to mention the fact that I15 is seen as a filler issue just screams soooooon™ to me.

Again.

I wish. And I don't normally like Mystic goings on, but DA is such a fantastic concept.

I told Posi that I was more interested in story arcs, rather than story in TF/SFs and this was his response:

[/ QUOTE ]

That's a tad alarming...

Also, he just said:

Vault has been shelved

[ QUOTE ]
What's more likely is that they'll do a complete engine overhaul and have that slide in, effectively turning City of Heroes into city of heroes 2 without the need for shutting anything down.


[/ QUOTE ]

That kind of thing though is much harder to market against new competition (here, come play our 5 year old game! It's shiny now!)

*shrugs*

I hope he's got something really good planned, rather than just a "insert corporate buzzwords and no negative thoughts at all" speech.

They're bastards to write those things - I've got a presentation to do on Thursday and I'm not allowed to get political or negative about a purely negative and politcal subject.

I'm hoping that my opening joke will kill them (literally). Maybe Posi is hoping the same?

[ QUOTE ]
Which makes i15 an even BIGGER "Huh?". They have the MA tool now, so no longer do they have any excuses for content light issues.

[/ QUOTE ]

Rather ironic that they come up with 5 mission TFs and SFs then, isn't it?

I'll just add my voice to the pile here - this is not the issue I personally was looking for and unless Positron has something fantastic to say later (preferably not more Marketing Drone guff), their competitor has got another confirmed player (not that I don't have concerns about CO, but at least they're new concerns!)

It's also happening when you logout and have to re-enter your password (it's prefilling the password entry with a long list of *************'s)

Maybe having run out of patience or faith might have something to do with it....

A couple of hours a week do not a viable alternative make. /Yoda

No, but everything that has an ending has a beginning and you must.... erm..... oh.... erm.... (*metaphor mangled, bail out Aardy, bail out now!*)

The cake is a pie

I'm sorry, I've been very naughty

You may be forgiven in exchange for cake

You shall not be given cake, for it is a lie.

Chaos is also an engine of some sort, don't remember quite what. Think it was the physics engine in some game not long ago.

[/ QUOTE ]

There was also The Chaos Engine, back in the 90's. Which obviously means City of Heroes is now going down the same steampunk route!

[/ QUOTE ]

And let's not forget the Julian Gollop Chaos game.... a wizard did it and all that.

Dammit, it hasn't been that long since another thread lost me an evening to that game....

CoH2 coming....

May not be called that, but CoH2 coming....

Soon.....

Probably....



[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not so sure now.

[/ QUOTE ]

maybe called CHAOS as the page says "all CHAOS will be let loose"

[/ QUOTE ]

It's an anagram - City Of Heroes Architect Stuff

Maybe?
