They use to...

Agreed.....which is why I said many posts ago that the devs should have thought about calling I6 and I7 "CoV I1 and I2".
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, but my cynical side says that even if this issue contains ONLY QoL stuff for CoH, the dev's will still play the card that CoH is getting SOMEthing, and call it i7.

BTW: Sorry if it looks like I'm following you...I'm really not

Of course, if pohsyb wants to join in the Haiku Flamewar again, he is free to.

now get back to work (-_^)

LOL, i /ignored friggen taser last year, still remember him as a trouble maker.
Yea this is pretty bad. The people that have just COH are pretty much getting walked over. While those with COV get everything new. Sure the games aren't equal and this will make them be, but the patches before were to get ready for villians and after to finish it off?
The people with COH have waited for something new for months and month and have got nothing. You don't alienate one group to improve another.

As a villain, my response to hero complaints regarding the upcoming issue would have to be summed up as follows:
BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!
Maniacal laughter doesn't really carry across in text very well.

Trying to intice us to use the PvP zones more, are you?

If you dare, do-gooder!

CoH? I remember that game. I used to play that years ago. Wasn't it the fore-runner of CoV?
You mean people still play it?
Downloaded the patch for the test server - when will I7 become testable? Logged in and didn't notice anything new.
Just to throw in my two widdle cents, the rumors thread that Lady Sadako started a while ago has an idea on how to work out newspaper missions, and the link for it just so happens to be in my sig. The idea is at the end of the thread.
Yes the idea is mine.
<.<

Well I like it!
Until there is evidence that CoH has been abandoned by the Dev team assigned to it, (assuming there is one), I think painting ourselves as the proverbial 'red-headed-stepchild' is a little premature.
In fact, to continue the family metaphor floating around here and there, the Co* family just got a new baby. The older child is bound to feel a little miffed at being thrust out of the spotlight, but they haven't been forgotten and mummy Statesman still loves you all. Birthdays will not be forgotten and though the presents might not be quite so large as they were last year when you were an only child, they will be delivered with love and ice-cream cake or whatever.
We're all bound to feel a little "what about me?" - ish for a while because CoV is getting all the press and attention. I don't think the company is willing to sacrifice CoH just yet so try to be a little paitient. CoH will be lavished attention soon.
If it doesn't can grow up and be a spiteful hate-filled, rejection-fueled teenager and make it's parent's sorry they ever created it... or something like that... I dunno, the metaphor kinda breaks up after a certain point.

City of Villains update en route
Update to NCsoft's sinister MMORPG adds high-level zones, new missions. Heroes also get new graphics, tweaks.
NCsoft today revealed the plans for the first update to City of Villains, the massively multiplayer online role-playing game dedicated to super villainy. Issue 7: Destiny Manifest will be a free auto update for paying subscribers to the PC game and will be released this April.
New Mayhem Missions will see bad guys attacking Paragon City with new timed missions. The open-ended missions let gamers rob stores, take on the police, and harass citizens, while destroying city blocks and gaining bonus rewards.
Villains will also get a new set of more than 300 missions, new Patron Power Pools, new Power sets, and the high-level zone of Grandville, where mutated spiders and Lord Recluse will do their best to stop gamers.
City of Heroes will also benefit from the update, with new user-interface tweaks, graphical upgrades, and features being installed in both games.
City of Villains is rated T for Teen and retails for $39.99. For more information on the game, zoom over to GameSpot's review.

Well, at least Gamespot understands that this is a City of Villains update.
Like that we get a release date for it too, sometime in Apirl.
This is a service-oriented business, and it's all
about keeping the player happy over the long term.
So you have to listen and pay attention. If a large
portion of your playerbase is screaming about
some change, you be wise to listen. - Raph Koster
so are we gonna get a respec? my 50 really needs one and so does my 45, both were oopses when i did their respecs
oh and one more thing. I see that this patch is basically to catch up the villian side of the game to the heros, epics and lvl 50 and such. But is there gonna be any new powers or areas coming out for heroes?
Oh and one more thing. IS THERE GONNA BE LVL 50 CONTENT?
It's invisible; you can't see it or play it.
Much like the enemies in my missions as of late.

Assuming Gamespot has the correct release month... we'll only have waited for 8 months since the last PvE content addition to CoH. Its gets better when you look at I8 being another 2 to 4 months after that... releasing it 10 to 12 months after the last PvE update to CoH.
And just WAIT until you guys see what the Devs have decided to "nerf" this time around! You'll really complain then... whoa-boy!

Sometime in April is a good guess. It's not like I7 going to be on test for a week or 2. I expect at least a month of testing.

BURN!
Anyway... i7 in April. Heh. I feel bad for myself, and worse for CoH'ers.

Well.....an April release date may actually be good news for the CoH fans...
Perhaps the "perceived lack" of content in I7 will be balanced by a kick-[censored] 2nd Anniversary event

yeah the villians will hold a party that has a statesman pinata. the heros will be jealous they dont get a statesman pinata.
Jay Doherty: Yes, there was this one night that I was ready to go home but had to drop the browns off at the super bowl before I left for home. While on the throne it hit me. I stayed for a few more hours and that why we have the pain pads in the game.

[/ QUOTE ]How the hell am I to decide? I7 isn't even out yet. It could still have stuff for CoH, but frankly I doubt it.
Even if it didn't, I'd take a scrapper over a brute any day of the week, thank you.
[ QUOTE ]
And combined issues? They need to finish CoV first. I think that is the dev's line of thought. Finish CoV, then start on Combined Issues.
[/ QUOTE ]
Agreed.....which is why I said many posts ago that the devs should have thought about calling I6 and I7 "CoV I1 and I2".
But, they didn't. The called CoV an expanshalone. They called I6 and I7 combined issues. So, I can't accept "you should buy CoV" as an answer to "Why isn't CoH getting as much in this update."
