What are you doing now?:
Just got back after a brief break, playing whenever I can inbetween studying, gigs etc
What would make you return to CoH?:
Well I have returned, but if I was going to demand something it would be to perhaps consider knocking down the war-walls and giving us some nice open spaces to speed around.. Perhaps a new, metropolis like city zone with more new interesting story arcs and absolutely huge skyscrapers. Oh and more buildings lying around the city which have windows which we can see through properly, and crazy collateral damage to every surface in the game would be awesome. Hmmm yeah I'll stop there

What would make you return to CoH?:
Well I'm back now but I guess I'd like to see a big update on the current powers we have. I'm not too bothered about getting new powersets because there is plenty to choose from but maybe some updates in terms of looks and how they work
Just too busy to fully complete this, so i'll awnser the important one,
What would make you return to CoH?:
Being kept upto date without looking at the USA Forums,
More DXP events (they help attract more players and keep us regulars playing, surely a good thing!),
More AT's
More Powersets (just look at Tankers, STILL only 4 Primaries),
Better PVP System-Support.
At the moment Guild Wars / Wii Sports and XB360 Live are just sooo much better.

Veteran Rewards Time:
30 months (27 months in 4th october on my second account)
What Are You Doing Now?:
Same things I did before starting.. Work and Uni in real life, dividing time between several games. Mainly MMOs, and Virtua Fighter 5 with Irl friends.
I have too many friends in COH to completely walk away, and I still enjoy exploring all the infinite character concepts. PVP is still interesting as well, although not the sole reason im still here. The content Ive mostly played through but not all of it. Thing that annoys me the most is the PvE game which functions around the same mechanics as it has always done, and this is what bores me the most and takes focus away from the PvE 'content'. However, every time I have proposed QoL improvements in the game mechanics other people complain that devs should concentrate on 'content' instead. Bah.
Good to see the old boys I used to team with regularly! I've also had the Global friend bug affect me too.
Typical WE1...at least you've made you're prescence known!
Blizz...will have to beat you at Wii sports bowling sometime. I have a mean left handed spin and 160 points average (is that good?! not sure)!

Account Created:
7 Feb 2005. I was in beta, and tried to buy EU CoH 1 day before release, and ended up playing on US servers while talking to GM's about my mistake. They were kind enough to ban me from US and give me an EU account
Veteran Rewards Time:
15 months, Been on and off the game since release.
What Are You Doing Now?:
Right now I'm unemployed. Play games like Eve Online, CoX and various others to kill free time.
What would make you return to CoH?:
I can't exactly remember what has kept me coming back. I like the CoH ease of gameplay over other games. It has one of the best interfaces as far as I'm concerned.
But the main concern now is LAGFIX <-The game USED to play well, I haven't upgraded my PC, but the game keeps running worse 'n worse. |
And more SF's for villains, I think they need some more.

With the recent Defiant empty for a reason? post, it made me wonder who has endured from EU release to this day? How long have you had the account for now? Do you still play as much? If not, what you doing now?
Would be great to hear from some of the old boys!
Guess I'll start off...
