Translate this into human and get back to me. i can see proto-thoughts popping out that i can happily debunk(the ssocs was Jack's idea, and i mentioned bases) but the other stuff, i want to make sure you actually meant the idiocy of what you said, because I would hate to presume you are intending to be as wrong as you are without letting you clarify.

oh, and what about my kidding myself? the contraction is you're.

sadly, due to jack's lack of technical expertise, a lot of it was inaccurate. i liked the guy, but i sense that posi speaks when he knows that he can deliver(the base thing from issue 13 notwithstanding) you may not recall, but around issue 2, jack had suggested that we would get power customization around issue 4. we got it in 4 squared.
subjective, and as i said, the info now is actually reliable, rather than floating off in peter molyneux land. also, can we have some rationality on the killed off half the population nonsense, attrition is the norm in mmos, in age of conan and warhammer it has been far worse, but generally numbers go down after launch, outside of the 2 anomalous mmos, wow and that horrid space one who'se name escapes me.
inaccurate and wrong, doms were buffed, badges got useful counters, martial arts got buffed, stalkers got buffed, teaming was made easier, and that is just off the top of my head. Do you even check when you say inaccurate garbage like this? oh and you re-upped to transfer characters in a game you don't plan on playing? the mind would boggle if it had attributed rational behavior in the first place. i if you are inaccurate enough to say that there are "ghost servers" rather than lower population ones that a small amount of social skill will still allow you to find full teams with, especially with the new sidekicking system, then its on you. you offer no real constructive comments in this post, so there is nothing for the devs to actually consider, but hey, hopefully you find an mmo to fit your nebulously defined criteria, and we can all appreciate the benefits to the coh community that it will offer.

ok, everyone who has abba's "gimmie gimmie gimmie a man after midnight "stuck in their heads, raise your hands.

so when it comes to erp, if its not rough it isn't fun?

hey, just a quick pop up on this one for drummer. ok first, get your butt to the ski chalet, you can get halos for your characters from an elf-looking fellow in exchange for candy canes(a holiday event drop), a flaming one or a traditional glowing yellow one. next up, while it isn't technically angels, there was a pack for the macentosh release of the game that gave a set called the "valkyrie"" costume which looked fairly angelic and even had some cool armored wings, they clip a bit, but do cover the armored angel look pretty well, you can get the mac client for 20 bucks, or the costume set alone for 10, but the mac client comes with a free month(14.99 value) so depending on your cash situation, the mac is a better deal http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...light=valkyrie . also, if you are more for the traditional toga wearing angels, the valentines day event will be up soon, you can unlock togas, laurel wreaths for the hair, and golden greek sandles. there have been threads about how to make good looking angel characters i have 3 angelic themed characters myself.

when was the last bit of dcou info released?

It has been a very long time since issues were "a couple of months" apart(presuming you mean 3-4 months). As it stands we have verifiable proof that the new hires were hired, so really there are only 3 conclusions one can draw. 1. the developers suddenly became incredibly inefficient and this will lead to no extra content versus the 15, now its not untrue that new hires do take time to get acclimated, but it seems unlikely that they have just been sitting on the other 30 people.2. the developers are going onto a second mmo from paragon, seems unlikely that nothing at all would have leaked there, but i guess possible. or 3. there is going to be quite a lot in going rogue, more content than in several issues(we will exclude 14 and 15 because 14 was one single thing, and 15 was more of an anniversary deal than a real, full issue) and the commensurate wait is going to be longer. I'm leaning towards 3 myself, but some teaser info would go a long way to maintaining interest.

no need to go off on a tangent. (gets hit by rotten tomatoes.)

oh yeah, issue 8 took forever too, really. im assuming that given the tying up of resources that paid expansions do, they tend to throw everything off pretty badly.

yer new here?.

seriously, id imagine her wish is a thematic one, a set of challenges where they can crank the difficulty up because at that level characters have all the powers and slots available to them, so they can go up against major galactic level threats. It is a mindset, that keeping max level stuff max level increases the importance of it, i daresay its a mindset i usually find on the wow side of the mmo world, whereas coh has been taking beautiful steps towards diminishing the point of levels, but its not so much a negative mindset as one that is perhaps different.

i wouldn't go medevial, that would likely get a negative reaction from the players who dont like fantasy stuff. but the romans did have dragons in their mythos, or maybe a Japanese zone with a angered river dragon...cant say that i'd have an issue with one of those that or lost world one of the rogue islands as a red-zone, and heave heroes do some infiltrations mishes, like a reverse shadow shard.

well, that is the funny thing, when your request is basically "more" then no matter what, there always is more you can have. So even if they, and this would be unrealistic, redid 2 unused zones and a portion of the old blueside content, they simply wouldn not have the manpower to redo the entire game, and you can always ask for "more". and lets not forget that since rediside doesn't have unused zones right now, they would be being proportionally screwed again. Heck, jay could toss me 70 costume bits and animated tails, and babs could give me all the martial arts animations that i have asked for and i'd still want more, that is just the nature of "more". but some would definitely be nice.

possible, school is still on, i'd put money on gr bring things back. when ma got its marketing blitz, it brought some people in. some exploiters, some not, but i expect gr to have another marketing rush and i expect some old hands to return for the new stuff. funny thing is, i think it may help redside, if you can go between both sides, i expect a lot of middle grounders double dipping on content and teaming opportunities.
