You going to charge more to upgrade your security, now?

Pay Pal is a mixed bag, and the first time I start getting E mails in game from Africa trying to get me to help prince !@# face start up some sort of merger, get his inheritance, or some other scam, NC Soft and me are going to have an issue.

I really hope there is a mission to go in and go postal on the wedding. I still owe a little something something to a special arrow slinging punk who needs his bell rung again once or twice. Along with Manticor, I got a special gift for a litle someone, and I'll tick tack her a couple times, just for laughs.

I need about eight MM thug teams to go in with me. We'll give them a wedding gift to remember, by turning it into a gank fest to remember.

[ QUOTE ]
With the announcement of the Wedding Event, and the fact that only 100 people will be allowed in each "instance" of it, it is quite obvious that I will be unable to attend.

This is unnaceptable, as I pay 15 bucks a month, which entitles me to attend anything that I want, regardless of your so called "Technical capabilities" and "Common Sense". Since you recently upgraded the servers, it is quite obvious that the problems are all your fault, and not mine, because I pay 15 bucks a month and am therefore perfect and know much more about programming and hardware then you. Especially since I just stayed at a Holiday Inn last night, and recently switched my car insurance to Geico.

Therefore, I demand that you compensate me for this discriminatory slap in the face. What follows are my demands for suitable compensation in light of your obvious failings and social awkwardness:

1) An Ouroborous mission of the wedding, complete with "TEH MAD XP AND BLING.".

2) All badges made available to me from the very start, even ones not in the game yet, in order to show how much better I am then everyone else.

3) A Big Red Ball

4) Merge all the servers into one big server, because there are not enough people playing on this dying game. Then kick everyone else off because it will be too crowded. And I pay 15 bucks a month, and am therefore better then them.

5) FIIIIIIIIIIIVE GOL-DEN RIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGS!

6) Advance notices on any unplanned outages, server locks, or anything that will inconvenience me. Just because you all are too lazy and not geniuses like me, doesen't mean I should have to suffer for your poor planning and lack of hygeine.

7) an apology for not being as awesome and cool as I am. I know it's technically not your fault, so I'll also require an apology from your parents too.

8) A Pony, named Princess Marcian Tobay the Third Esquire Jr. I shall than hug her, and squeeze her, and call her George.

9) More Catgirls. There are not enough Catgirls in the game.

That is all of my demands. I shall expect swift payment, otherwise it is proof that you all are meanies who hate your players, and want to completly ruin a game that's not fun anyways and that I hate because I keep complaining. Also, you have cooties.

Sincerely,
Liquid Horatio X

(P.S. - SexyJay is exempt from the following demands. He is Sexy, and therefore awesome. But the rest of you are big dumb stupidheads)

I read the OP, and skimmed most of the following conversation.

As others have said, GREAT post. Very thoughtful.

I am well known on my own server for disliking - no, despising PvP.

The OP hit the nail directly on the head with many of his points. In fact, the next time I am asked why I'm so anti-PvP I may just point the asker to this thread.

The part that rang the most true to me was the inability to avoid griefing. In PvE if someone I'm playing with is causing a problem, I can kick him or quit the team. I can avoid the problem. In PvP if someone is causing a problem.. my ONLY choice is to leave the zone.

Thanks for taking the time to spell this out so well.

If you use the arena you only fight people you want to fight.

I'm sure you want more people to PVP, but until it gets fixed, !#@$ you.
The game wasn't made with PVP in mind, and as the time goes by, the devs show that they arn't going to do anything other then !#@$ it up some more. Whoever thought that specialized pvp builds would " Enhance" the pvp experience, or that the constant nerfs needs to just go back to working on the new zones, TF's, and power builds that we need more then this !@#$.

Nice post, but until they start giving some attention, you can wait another two years to get any kind of change to the pvp.
Until then, I'll do my PvPing in Battlefield 2.

!#@$ pvp.

So what you're saying is, they should ignore this post on how to fix PvP until they fix PvP?

They've ignored all of the other posts asking for the same thing countless times before, why should this be any different?

Here is the real Hero in City of !!!!

This is three flavors of cool!!! Great job on that one, Dark-

NC SOFT could easily get control of this issue.
All they have to do is to get control of the game.

They do this by just getting a few people to make some alts and go around under the radar, incognito and get info on the spam artists.
Have someone in SUpport just go in game, follow the Info, and stand there ingame, while you watch the info in real time as the game logs go by and you watch these guys do this stuff.

They could easily stand around AP and watch as the Mr and Miss Craptastic with names like Asdsdfg, or Rrlelr, or whatever they want to use just stands around, spam E mailing thier crap, and then logs back on with the exact looking straight off the character creator look with another winner name. just so they can do it again.
WTF, anyone who spends any time in AP can see these tools. If the Support could actually do some homework, such as, get one of these tells, themselves, follow the info to the sight, then BLAMMO!~!!!!
they would easily get these jackasses, dead to rights.

WTF, Lighthouse. It doesn't take anything more then a few hours of time, and you can get these crack dealers off the streets.
Of course, you could as well add PVP to the whole game, then we could deal with these guys ourselves, but of course that might be too easy.

Just wondering. Seems alot of attention villains need, just is a no go. COH gets alot more attention. This goes for pve and pvp. Will 2008 actually bring some attention?

[/ QUOTE ]

They don't hate COV, they just hate you.

Good Job on that one!!!!

It is a shame though that you had to do something about it, and we are just now hearing something from the rednames after, what four or five months of this crap going on?

Dark_Respite my new hero!!!

Regardless of the taxibot thing, your school paper is looking better as the time progresses. I am actually looking forward to some new material other then the oh look at me stuff, but on the whole, I do enjoy it.

Thank you all for the fine efforts, happy holidays.

PVP is in total need or a rework.

There is no reason whatsoever that I have to specificly build for pvp in a game where 95% of the action takes place in PVE.

As for any kind of reccommendations, get rid of the nerfs on me entering a zone and within 5 minutes I' out of end, yet when I roll through a mission, thats the last thing I have to worry about.

F^%$ PVP until we get a basic rewrite of the whole deal.

BRAINS!!!!! GAH!!!!!!

its exactly what it means.

Good riddance, the king is dead! Now lets get down to the buisness of making this game the beast it should be by now.

Get rid of the [censored] infamy/influance peddlers, and then get back to me about the greatness of NC SOFT.

You have a full section of recommendations, our only question is , what are you going to work on first.

Time for a new halloween gimmick. ToTing has lost its cool.

Jack was distinctly missing less appearaces then in previous years.

Lets see something like Babbage or the Khronos titan on the red side once in awhile.
How about some of those DA guys mobbing up and following adamaster kinda like how the guys follow the Ghost around Sharkhead.
Please come up with something new for next year.

As for auto assult, bring on that Big [censored] zone for COX, That was a freaking big world that needed some heros and villians.

If you could intersperse those sized zones within the COX games and combine that same expansive area with armies of enemies, some Misfit reneagade supercriminal types, maybe even add a few arch enemies, and some other areas besides paragon, ( Heck even add a few more countries to the game) with COH, COV, that would be a game to rival WOW.

The opening up of both sides seems to me the upcoming combination of the two.

When will we be able to take our villians to run around and start wars under atlas?

When will we be able to take our heros into the Rogue Isles for some well earned asskicking?

Will we have a chance to get a few more TF's on the redside?

How about a few more GM's, Zones, and some actual serious looks into the recommendations given throughout the life of this game?

Good job NC soft, now pay me back for buying both games by giving us some more content after lvl 50, knock my socks off with fixing the bugs, and opening up more zones.

I love the game, but I'm bored with the grind!

Hey Cricket, can we pigeon hole the choices any more then just this? What happened to the choice of just outright PLAYING a diabolical supervillian or redempted troubleshooter, paying his debt to society, while indulging in the favorite pasttime of torture, mayhem and madness, all the while killing inferior devient human strain specimins in a fit of homicidal rage?

I like this game.

From its onset, COV was the starting point. I at first didn't care much for the comic book, "Hero" thing, until my fix of COV was well into its year or so. With that being said, I do have my issues with the game, and have on numerous threds posted them. I've made recommendations, and as well they have been acted upon, so in my view, the Cryptic thing has nothing to do with me.
Ok, now witht hat out on the table, Positron, you've been more then happy enough to post the letter, but there are a few things under my skin that have been chaffing on the issue.

1. Genericing and its supposed reasoning, and the standards in which your compnay goes about it. ( as in you have none, and have given carte blanch to the process.)

2. With the hub bub over the Marvel lawsuit, etc. why would you go to bed with these flakes? Marvel has the preverbial touch of crap. Everything they get into is played out within a year, then they drop it like used socks. What guarentees do you give us that we won't even be playing a " Marvel" game in a year or two? Look at the games they have out thus far, do you honestly think that they are going to come out with some quality that is even going to be worth anyone's time? I tyell you, it had better be the king of corn to be something to get me to stop playing this game, COH, COV. And to that as well, what are you going to do if some of the games start to taper off, just think you can go make a new one and continue with something else? I think if you do, your going to end up infringing on your fan base, and start TELLING them " What they want". There is a point in time where this company has over saturated its market, and is now past the dumbed down version stage.

As a result, your going to end up peeing on your shoes, and either A. End up having to make decisions in detrement to your games, B. Start playing favoritism to your games, or C. Your really going to put on the show and knock our socks off.

I would really like your Marvel effort to be a continuation of COH/COV, whereas it would be able to caviot our already existing heros and villians into major American cities to wreck havock, and kick the crap out of the likes of HULK or SPIDERMAN, but only time will tell, and anything on the subject will be moot to discuss at this point.

Please be careful, dealing with Marvel. They have the best track record of turning other companies they deal with to garbage, and ending up trying to stay in court to recoupe thier losses to pay for thier companies product. As well as jacking up exhorbant prices on thier merchandise, Marvel has shown time and time again that they are in it for the doller, and nothing more. I will stand by and hope that I can deal with Marvels chump heros in my own special way, but I won't be the first one in line for thier dumbed down version of the X man version of PvP.

Good luck with your other endevors. And I wll be playing COH/COV. I'll still be here until you pull the plug on the game

All hail the big red ball.

These are going to be the new nerf bat targets.

They are freakin sweet!!!!

Nothing says I love you like pistol whipping someone to death and going Matrix on them like a maniac

Try upgrading the pistols first, then worry about the Leadership pool. the thugs are ok, but Im of the firm belief of tooling up your pistols, then the thugs take care of themselves with hosing the targets that have been whittled down in one fell swoop.
SS or Flying will always be dear to my heart, and if you take the health, you can upgrade it almost as effectivly as the Hurdle does. Wrap out the Superjump Enhancments, and add running as well.
The new stalkers, trust me.

Give this big red ball a happy face, and sentience.
Let it bound around random zones and rattle off incoherent threats, as it bounces throughout the zone crushing civilians, baddies, and generally anything it touches taking damage.
A new AV called, Evil Otto.

If not, have small, hero sized balls fly around with blasters sticking out of them, and the red balled blasters start killing everything in the zone. Every hero in the zone has the inherent duty to kill them off, or the citys population is killed off. You may get kill counts, a badge, and title of ballbreaker!

A few musings, on the big red ball.

Old is only a state of mind.

I remember all of this, and have had plenty of good times with most of the subjects mentioned.

I remember when 40K Rogue Tader was worth the money. The small black and white book, Chainmail. The first Dr.WHO. Black and white TV. SWAT, MEGO, GiJoe, the Lone Ranger, Sam Cobra, Judge Dredd as a group. Punk, Mods, and the birth of every music spawning off of the early seventies.
What do I miss?
1. Old school Marx army men sets.
2. Micronauts
3. Sgt Fury and his Howling commandos
4. Wierd War Tales, and the Creature Commandos.
5. The first incarnation of D and D that I started buying my own. the red book.
6. Vincent Price movies.
7. MEGO
8. Cheap, five and dime prices for everything.
9. Independent RPG's, without massive Corporation BS.
10. Araura monster models, and Ratfinks.

and on a side note, the saturday morning line up of cartoons, Sid and Marty Kroft, and war down the street with the naborhood kids, Space 1999, 3 3/4 inch scale death and destruction.

Somewhere along the line, I was cheated.
