Please use this thread to discuss the below announcement.


MMOABC.com recently interviewed City of Heroes Executive Producer and NCsoft Norcal Studio General Manager Brian Clayton to find out what's currently going on and future plans for the MMORPG title. Here’s an excerpt:

Also, among MMORPGs it (CoH/CoV) has an unrivaled character creation system that results in every character being different. Our players love to create interesting and unique characters as evidenced by over 32 million of them having been created in North America alone!

We also think that City of Heroes / Villains has a nice combination of mass market friendly gameplay and the right amount of depth to keep the hardcore gamer challenged.

Wow. I'm really disappointed. Not by the lack of new information but that that was the ultimate softball question: "tell us why your game is special and unique, why everybody should be playing it," and you blew it. That was all you could come up with: that it's superheroes, and a generic statement about how it has lots of content? No mention of flight at level 5 or 6, superjump by level 11, teleport or superspeed by level 14? No mention of sidekicking and exemplaring? No mention of of the hundreds of unique subclasses? No mention of 91 equipment slots that you get to allocate among your powers freely? No mention of the fact that you decide why your powers work and how your character should look, not your equipment? No mention of equipment available at level 10 that you never outlevel? No mention of levelless PvP? No mention of instances that auto-adjust to your level, your team size, and your preferred difficulty setting?

Fortunately, the interview was on a website that, as far as I can tell, nobody reads. But next time, please send someone who actually understands some of the ways that CoX is better than every MMO out there, and (more importantly) who can think of them off hand when asked!

Actually, you have.

You just have not released any details other than "at the end of the month".

MMOABC: Are you guys planning to do any City of Heroes contest events in the next coming weeks or months?
We have a really cool contest (with huge prizes) kicking off at the end of this month but unfortunately I can’t tell you about it yet…so stay tuned! We also have lots of player run contests and events over the coming months.

So tomorrow you will?
