Well I did put a on the end of my statement so NCNC know I'm pulling their leg with a big cheesy grin.

But as ever, If anything, your wisdom brings a smile to my face Lionsbane.

Hey I wasn't refering to you Mother. I knew you were being funny.
Rereading my answer, it can seem i directed the childish barb at you but I truthfully didnt mean it like that. Sorry.

As for my wisdom, well the truth outs. Took 3 years for anyone to believe me. Ironically, the person that confirmed half the statements I was making was the person I have the least respect for in the gaming world, Statesman himself.

Lifes Ironies eh?


Don't get into a flap. It's only my opinion and I'm thick

I wasn't going to ask no comment, I was going to ask if future plans include greater animation for our avatars.

Fact: Since NCNC took over the IP there has been a complete re-evaluation of the way the game is presented to the customers in terms of game-play and environment. Under Cryptic the game was a lot tougher and some pretty unpopular measures were brought in. Although some might complain (me included) that certain aspects of the game are too easy, my impression is that the new culture is really what the paying customers want. I wonder, had Cryptic adopted a "softer" approach from day 1 would the game be a lot bigger now?

The person I feel sorriest for at the moment is GR, cuz he's got a LOT of inside gen and can't share it. I'm guessing we'll see an exploding GR very sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon™

With all the ways to improve our characters through XP "smoothing", IOs, plentiful respecs and the upcoming offline character rewards, are there any plans to increase the challenge of the game by improving mob AI or such? Because CoX is getting rather too easy these days, IMO.


 

Posted

So, onwards to the speculation!

1. Rested XP? Hope not... Not really needed
2. Going Rogue? Would be nice; has been wanted for AGES.
3. Heroes and Villains in each others zones. This COULD mean open RP, possibly through manual setting of the character PvP flag we already have. I think this is pretty unlikely, personally.
4. GR getting lynched if he doesn't tell us more!

Screensaver celebrating your characters' achievements, badges and PvP victories?

Merchandise with your characters on them?

Being given a complimentary cape upon getting an epic AT to level 50?

Two pounds of Hamidon yello given to all players with the 54 months badge?

"Best of CoH FanFiction" book given to all players?

Custom-made cards for a new CoH collectible card game can be created for any character that completes the new 'Littoral Mage' taskforce.

NCSoft has bought a brewery and starts rewarding every 50-ding with a keg of beer.

Lots of people moaned about that when NC did the CoH/CoV merge last year. It's pretty childish.

Presenting: Lionsbane and the Zen of Irony.

Good press release, looks like part of the continuing trend of increased playerbase friendliness. Nice one!

It occurs to me that any possible version of the nemesis system might not work if you didn't have access to both games.

Also depending on how the player-created content is planned to work, an inability to design either villain or hero ATs might be a drawback.

Having said that, the thing that might be most hampered by players not owning both games is the updated base raid system; bases were originally CoV only.

Whatever the reason: Yey for the promise of new content!
