i expect theve lost more than 7500 subs

Despite the fact that subs have been trending upwards since I13 came out...

Being made redundant doesn't turn GR into a liar now, does it?

Depends how do you interpret "trending"

[/ QUOTE ]

I wasn't interpreting, I was quoting...

Long Term: Pack your suitcases, I can't see it lasting without an EU.team to cater for our support.


[/ QUOTE ]

I played for a year on the US servers without EU support. It worked just fine. In fact (apart from meeting a few people I wouldn't otherwise have met and slightly shorter loading times (different from lag)), I don't have a single complaint about my time on the US servers and wouldn't object to going back there if ever it happened.

And to be honest, I don't think I'd notice ANY difference at all, other than being able to post in a forum which many more posters than there are now.

Any word what's gonna happen to us?

[/ QUOTE ]

Afraid you'll all need to be patient to find out what happens with regards CoH in Europe. A whole helluva lot changed yesterday, and it's going to take some time for the folks at NCNC to formulate their plans going forward.

[/ QUOTE ]

Now that, kids, is a quality DOOM™ post. Learn from the great one.

Any more tidbits we can coax out of you? What changed? Bad financials, copyright claim, change of game direction...?

[/ QUOTE ]

Anyone want to place a bet that the COH franchise has been sold....?

[ QUOTE ]
Pity NCSoft invested time and money in creating the new CoH forums then

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the short term loss of closing down any official forums will be easily gained back by the 4 or more FTE that they save from doing so, assuming that the development costs weren't astronomical.

[ QUOTE ]
I bet regardless of what happens, the first markteting-drone mandated post will say how good things are and that we have wonderful mindblowing plans for [insert any single product on Earth here] for the future which we will start seeing around [never]

[/ QUOTE ]

Generic posts ftw!

Yes I am. Working fine here.

Funny, I thought subscriptions had went up since I13... oh well.

My regrets to all those losing their jobs. It's not an easy time in the UK job market right now.

[/ QUOTE ]


Yeah cause more profit always equals redundancies.

Ahem. *chuckle* Short term achievements and long term goals rarely mesh in the world of Business.

And I'd put the priorities so that reading the opinions of A bunch of worried subscribers whos custom you hope to retain on an internet forum is so far down the list it's unlikely to get looked at this week, let alone RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND.

[/ QUOTE ]

[Edited]: Or maybe thats just big business stateside for you... oh well.

[/ QUOTE ]

I really doubt that caring about the marginal small percentage (of a small percentage, we're not exactly rolling in players around here and if you are, then that's your perversion and you can keep it to yourself) who actually post on the forums even figures in their mindset.

At all. Ever.

And certainly not now, of all times.

And I'd put the priorities so that reading the opinions of a bunch of people who post on an internet forum is so far down the list it's unlikely to get looked at this week, let alone RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND.

Of course, that internet forum will have people on it who go, "LOOK AT ME, I'M THE CENTRE OF THE [censored] UNIVERSE" and demand to be given everything NOW.

Just one more reason to ignore it then.

So what is the best way to get merits??

[/ QUOTE ]

Rock on down to NCSoft, find the GMs, and don't stop punching until they've added a hundred thousand merits to everything on your account.

[/ QUOTE ]

Didn't they change the EULA to stop people doing this?

[/ QUOTE ]

Pffft.

Who reads the EULA anyway?

Sixthed.

If you're running Vista on a multi-core system, then it's possible that the hotfix in this thread will help.

It did for me.

Cheers for the figures Standoff. I may add to them later on, but I think the 4 will do me at the moment (It's a PB, I'm currently playing, so I need all the slots I can get!)

Yes, because they wouldn't be serving any food in the insane asylum...

They live on a diet of electricity and enemas.... sometimes both.

[/ QUOTE ]

That sounds like some supervillain's origin story. Not one you'd want to stand in the same room as, but that's hardly surprising, is it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Sounds better than dieting.

[/ QUOTE ]

As someone who currently is.... no, no it doesn't.

Also when Void Soldiers shoot you, there is no gun and the animation is showing up later than the damage - I think it's related.

Any other drawn weapon powers showing the same issues? How is Assault Rifle, for example?

Thanks. Respec now done.

No worries, I've got a lot of what I need stored already. I'm just not sure whether I can get away with 4 slots or if I need 5?

Quick question.

In order to save slots, I was planning on Frankenslotting my self-healing powers. Normally, I'll put 3xrecharge, 3xheals into those powers.

So, in order to Frankenslot to roughly the same level, would it be 4 or 5 slots that's needed with Heal/Recharges in them?

(From level 35 or so upwards, that is)

so...where is the 2.00 euro costume set?....-_-

Buy the Mac version, get the free month (a month you'd be playing anyway!)... voila!

Reasons? You're meant to entertain us!

Was thinking about the earlier Radio comments on the way home and came up with this:

A hero arrives at the Secure Criminal Insane Facility and says:

"Prepare a straitjacket, I've got another one!"

Two wardens approach with a straitjacket.

"Yes, what is it?" one of them asks.

"This Radio is evil!"

"According to our reports, you flew over the ocean to a sovereign island state, flew down to a car park and stole someone's radio. Would you like to tell us who's insane?"

Queen's "I'm going Slightly Mad" starts to play on the radio...
