Oooh and does anyone know if you can "upgrade" your preorder with gamestop?

From regular to collectors??

Sorry for the double post!

But, since the paper's already chewed up... I'll go with Gun. Targets Rock, and shoots Wolf.

My brother works at the plant where they manufacture a large percentage of the CD's and DVD's available in the U.S.

Last week they did an order of 300,000 copies CoV.

[/ QUOTE ]

So, everything they fix/change on beta since then will be on a patch at release or soon after.

Strange industry. They announce that it is in Gold release status, the CD's have already been made for distribution...
and Beta server is still up.

I really hope that the live release goes well. Not just for the players, but also for Cryptic and NcSoft's reputations.

There is a long standing debate still going on in the COV forums on two main issues. One the game doesn't feel villliany enough to many people and two, it feels like a rehash of COH in some respects. So in this respect its not going to be done by release but with as many a time as these issues have shown up in the forums I'm sure the devs are working on something for issue 1.

Yeah but the people making those posts aren't going to be satisfied until they can run amok down the streets killing pedestrians left and right and we KNOW that's not going to happen.

Can't please everyone.

No seriously... when was the last time he gave us a straight answer on a Date/ETA?
...And call me crazy, but is that a new job title?

Usually a longer title means you're secretely lower on the totem pole despite your duties not changing. For instance at my job, I was the "Maintainence, Recieving, and Utilities/Product Proliferation Expert".

And CoV isn't ready to see the light of day yet - too bad marketing thinks that it is. NDA is lifted, right? Whew.

You've got a point, but I have to say that so do they.

A not-insignificant percentage of missions you run once you get out of Mercy are very much like COH missions. A little window dressing has changed, but beating up on Family or Council in a warehouse in COV is virtually identical to the same mission in COH. What's so villainous about that?

Heh, not much.
Some of the features are interesting though. I like the edgier music and the environments I've seen. CoH appears to be getting some of these environmental upgrades within the missions.
Playing the beta is disconcertingingly bad at times, though I've experienced a few sessions when the lag was noticeably less bad than in CoH. Today, the game crashed so often as to be unplayable. Not good.

Not until they get the thigh boots currently not selectable with bottoms with skin! I can get some really nice looks, but I can't pick the thigh/tall boots unless I use a skirt or tucked in pants! If heroines will wear bikini bottoms with the seductive appeal of thigh boots, you bet villainesses will!

But seriously, I think it looks pretty good overall. The game does function well and is playable now. It should be even better as they patch more and more in the upcoming days. Some major total freeze-ups that crash me to desktop (although not very common it can be very frustrating), my weird first costume overwriting my 2nd on just the skirt (my MM had her first outfit with a mini-skirt to get thigh boots, since I could not get the boots with a bikini bottom. I went and made her second outfit with normal stilettos and a bikini bottom, but everytime I logged or zoned, the skirt from my first outfit overrode my bikini of my second. So not only are the thigh boots bugged for some outfits, but I had to change my first outfit to drop the skirt to stop overwriting my second one! I even tried fixing it twice to no avail, so stopped wasting inf on it), and some broken missions (like my one with the black pit 20 feet from the door), but overall decent. I do really want the boots issue fixed when you folks can. Must have my thigh boots with bottoms with skin again!
