The one thing, I do hope that COX moves to and has in its Big Future, is something to do with SuperGroups. As it stands now, its a base building.......... Umm.... Yeah thats it.

Why not give the SG's reasons to get players. Why not give them missions, alot of them, so they can do it together.

Instance off a monster or group of AV's or two, from the TF's and Quests.

It would be awsome, and fun to take on a monster, or groups of AV's to kill your SG. Let the groups have alot of fun, instead of the COP. Which has been broken since ummm. Forever.

.02 Cents worth.

does that mean you're gonna listen to the player base and revert the TF changes?

The irony that this statement comes the day after such a blindfolded rug-sweep is mind-numbing in itself.

I hope not, that fix corrected the softloading exploit.

Or they could target softloading TF's...and starting multiple tf's...without hurting people who'd legitimately rather not play with a PuG...

Thats what they did with this fix, put an end to soft loading. If you don't want to PUG then make more friends or run the TF with your SG.

I would like to see some of the following in city of heroes future
1. Shield Melee/defense for scrappers and tanks
2. Psychic blast/Psychic masters set for blasters.
3. Electric melee/def for tanks and scraps
4. Dual wield for blasters and defenders
5. New epic classes for heroes and villains.
6. A total rework of the regen defense set for scrappers IE. Make it so its on par with invuln and willpower, right now its sucks.

Thats some of the things I want to see and the jet pack costume piece.

[/ QUOTE ]
1. Me too.
2. Agreed. Its called Psychic BLAST, after all.
3. Dont we alredy have that for tanks?
4. Ummm. No. Blasters/defenders get ranges attacks primarily for a reason. The only dual wield that would work is Dual Pistols, and only for Assault Rifle, which kinda nulls that out.
5. Villains need epics before heroes get new ones.
6. Regen sucks? Thats not what Ive heard. Also, if its on par with invunerability and Willpower, why even bother with 3 powers that do the same thing, and just have one of them?
As to the jetpack as a costume piece, Id have to assume that it would be nonfunctional, which makes it kinda useless. Real jetpacks arent that hard to get.

If I wanted to PvP, I would just run outside and gank people with rocks.

I wonder if anyone has ever been offended by my hero "Asparagus-Man" because someone they know is a vegetable...?

So many negative posts about the company just saying "Hey we want to keep this mmo going as much as you do". Lighten up.

What's all this 70s/groovy combination? The 60s CREATED groovy with the hippies, smoking pot, love beads, Woodstock, etc.... though dictionaries put the word groove +y in the 1850s. The 70s were more of a "far out"(Cheech and Chong) or "rad"(or radical... which is more 80s-- Fast Times at Ridgemont High) period.

Keep on Truckin'

What I'd love to see:

Issue 13 No new content, but we fixxed EVERYTHING!

My Arc - #51736 Here Wolf... There Wolf... Werewolf!!!

Don't worry about the mule going blind, just load the wagon.

My own comments.

I'm a relative newcomer to the CoX universe (July 2007) and since my arrival I have been very impressed with the way this MMO has been handled. I haven't gotten any of my heroes or villians to a level 50 yet, but It's been a blast so far, and I am really looking forward to whatever changes are coming!

1. Hopefully they are already working on this.

2. Psi blast for blaster may be to powerful, but I'm not opposed to this idea.

3. No only Brutes have these but /signed to port them to hero side.

4. Dual Pistols for corruptors and blasters is said to be on the agenda.

5. agreed Villains 1st.

6. Regen is the top preformer isn't it unless Willpower has supplanted them, makeing them #2.


I want to see new Villain zones.

I'm just jazzed that NCNC is going to keep on going with Co*. I24 3 years down the road sounds lovely to me.

I appreciate the communication from the higher levels of the NCNC Org chart, but this doesn't actually tell us well, anything. I think this might have been a good place to tell us a little something about I12, even if it was "we plan to have I12 in closed beta testing in &lt;insert timeframe&gt;"

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't mean to sound like an ingrate, but I agree with Dysmal here. This "announcement" is nice and all, but is little more than corporate cheer leading. There really ought to have been at least a morsel of enticing information to excite the player base.

Q. Just wondering Posi, where are the new dance emotes we were told would come with GR?
A. Positron: Whoops, my bad.

Welcome to the Game!

Now, My shields are tweaking and I sense a darkened force at work here. Yes Folks, Placate is in effect. Afterall, it is an election year and we need to keep everyone strung along.

I've said it a thousand times. If the new management falls into a good groove and we benefit...Great! If not, then we will continue the long slide to mediocrity.

My #1 on the wishlist is to fix (As in Repair..NOT Nerf) some of the problemsa we've been having for nearly 4 years.

&lt;insert list here&gt;

Sounds like a "I wasn't invited into the I9 Beta, so it obviously sucked" whine.

[/ QUOTE ]
Deserved to be? Or actually Was? You're probably right about the first one...

I'll admit I'm not the most diligent of Beta testers, but we can't all be Arcanavilles and MadScientists. The process itself is great though and I look forward to more assuming I'm invited back. Criticizing it doesn't mean I'm against it, as I said, it just needs some real improvements if the actual content being filtered through it is going to be generously increased. (Pohsyb's stat monitor will be a huge leap forward for the testing but only if there's enough Dev involvement this time to deal with all the feedback)

i think they need a new look into their game creation and what they do ,because that new expansion pack is nice ,but not for the money . It didnt offer any one enouph for anything to be charging for it . You can do alot better and thats what I expect out of this company

I see that many people are going to beat me to the Whiny badge.

For those who are complaining that they "haven't got anything" in the last year, how about IOs? Rikti invasions? Dual Blades? C'mon.

And I'm very glad to hear that there are plans in the works for another retail package, because that's good for the long-term survival of the franchise. I'm looking forward to hearing what's in it--but I can see any of several reasons why they might not want to announce any specifics of their plans at this stage. I can wait until they're ready.

Yet another announcement that basically says nothing. Why do they insist on tormenting us with these useless things?

I like what you've done, and look forward to seeing more!

The positive side of me:

Non-specific rousing "speech" that says absolutely nothing other than "Yer gonna love this year!" Isn't this the same thing they've been telling us every year? I keep playing so it must be partly true for me at least I look forward to CoH on the PS3 and another Paid Expansion to bring graphics up to that level.

Negative Side of me:

IOs = Inf/Time sink, require farming either for inf to buy high cost rare salvage and or the recipes you use them in. Now gold farming sites have a reason to pester us even more than ever before.

Rikti Invasion = I was in beta, we had one of these then too. Aside from a temporary event there's really nothing spectacular about it now except raiding the mothership and Vanguard accessories.

Dual Blades = Yay, yet another blade/slicing set!

Lol I think I'd turn cannibal before I'd eat corporate speak Pity the poor devs, not only do they have to put up with all the whiners in the forums but dealing with this kind of nonsense all the time must really be vexing.
