Discussion: Good vs. Evil Coming to the Mac!

Is the teleport power temporary like 30 days?

The reason I ask is this.

PC version GvE = Costume pieces, Pocket D, and jump pack
PC version Good collectors = Costume pieces, power slide
PC version Evil collectors = Costume pieces, hero clix Toys
Mac version = Costume pieces, Teleport power

All have perm powers.

New game card version
jet pack goes away in 30 days.
Same cost as Mac version $20

Give us the jet pack forever its not fair that every versions gets a perm gift and if you have this one you dont.

Given how many people have shouted out wanting a damn jet pack and still you have to rebuy it.

Will I buy this version as an addon most likely becuase I want more options. But damn it you need to correct the game card version to be inline with the other versions.

We still have to pay for the client.

No, we don't.

.... not sure where my 20 dollars is going then. Whatever.

I guess everyone missed me saying this is a good thing in favor of proving me wrong. This IS a good thing, people! More players for a great game! I HONESTLY don't get why ANYONE is complaining. I've been praying for Mac OS X City of Heroes since I began playing. If anyone's worried about "exclusive" content, please remember that this is NCSoft! They have NEVER kept anything exclusive for long, and they even mentioned it. We'll all be equal with time. Only in the month of December will you be able to pick the Mac users apart from the PC users, and that's only if they A) tell you, or B) wear the entire Valkyrie set.

This. Is. GOOD.

If you pay the $20 for the Mac version and you apply it to your existing account, you get an additional month of gametime, the teleporter power, and the costume set. Just like if you were to pay the $20 for the PC version of GvE on the website and you apply it to an existing account (without GvE options) you get a month of gametime, the jump pack, the Pocket D teleporter, the Justice and Sinister costume sets.

Oh. Well, I already pre-ordered the sucker so....

Thanks for clearing that up.

I use Parallels rioght now to play CoH on my mac, and honestly, its the only reason I even have Parallels on my laptop... now I won;t need it! YAY!

The thing is, running under Trasganing, there is no "Mac only" version of the game, like Spore, Transgaming enables Windows versions to work on the Mac using translation libraries, similar to how Linux binaries run on FreeBSD.

At least now, we'll have a clean port, instead of some bugs being apparent through Crossover and Parallels.

Please read what I was replying to. I'm all for the Mac version of COH, great idea
and I already pre-ordered it. I was replying to the guy that said he had to buy a
PC to play COH even though he wanted a Mac. That part makes no sense. He
could have bought a Mac and had it all in one machine.

I did, it just wasn't very clear of your meaning... sounded more like you were replying to the statement about mac users being able to join the fun, rather than the statement about buying a PC. When you make a undirected reply to a statement, it is assumed it is to the major point of the statement and not a minor point, unless you direct it more. he started talking about mac users being able to play CoH now, so it sounded like you were saying they always have been, and there is no point to the mac version... but after you reexplained yourself, i see what your real point was.

a clean port? they aren't even really porting it, its just Cider, which is based off the same thing Crossover uses, its just all built in and tested better. If its like other games that have used Cider, there will be Cider specific bugs found that need to be fixed.
