Fastest Issue in CoX History!

Well, I've been here since issue 1 and I have to say that the "oooo, new and shiny" of Issue 15 was the fastest to fade of all issues.

Granted, all new-and-shiny things do fade, so it's a matter of time. This one lasted about 2 hours. Just long enough for about 3 blue-side Reichmann TFs (RTFs) and to check out the dominator buffs. Leaving about 45 seconds to see the new faces / costume things +change emotes.

Wow. Seriously this is a record BY FAR! Even the last two wimpy issues had more (albeit, the pvp nerfs were "more" in a bad way). I mean, talk about setting the bar lower!

A few years ago (heck, maybe even 1 year ago) this would have been a "major patch" rather than a "major update" - which is what we used to call new issues: major updates.

I mean, don't get me wrong, the new RTF is a nice TF - quick, simple, easy on the travel, etc. and will be a great break from the ITF. Shoot, we were doing ITF+RTF in about an hour, so the merits were decent.

I know there are plenty of dev-cheerleaders who bask in the glory of all that is CoH, and I do know I am pessimistic and a cynic; that still does not change the fact that Issue 15 is a load of weaksauce shot out all over the fanboys' faces.

For me, it's more confirmation that I need a new game (and have lined a few up).

Dom changes and the hero-side TF were nice, I'll give them that, but the rest is pretty ho-hum (haven't done the villain SF, as I heard it had some pretty nasty bugs still).

Finally, as always, the train doors STILL DO NOT WORK!

not sure what bugs are still in the Villain Reichsman SF besides the Mastermind temp power not working at all.

but yeah...don't think that's gonna be a SF I run all too often, even if they fix the Mastermind temp power...still don't think the 20 merits are worth it.

I agree with Roy. I'm over this issue...NEXT! The Maf and I handled the Reichman TF redside 1st try, but I can tell ya that it is 2x as long as the hero TF to which I call BS. Also, I don't think Reichman would be able to off 8 full-grown villains with one move, but meh.

In other news, I did the new hero TF in 48 minutes yesterday with r0y's son as the main tank. Gamer-kid > developers. What are you feeding that boy, r0y?

Kind of like the element of surprise when I logged in and found I was suddenly a handful of badges short...after NOT farming MA to get them..lulz. I forgot they were taking badges away, I actually thought for some odd reason they were replacing them or something, oh well.


Coming back out of the woodwork after a couple years away from the game...

While it's not really hurting my fondess of the game... I tend to agree with the OP. This patch doesn't deserve being called an issue. It's just a patch.. Did they even bother to give it a name?


I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.
