I have said this very thing since the day NC announced they bought the game.
But I see not one sign of it and its been almost a year.

That's becuase they're too busy working hard to make sure they please even the most demanding of players

uh, AoC still has about 350k subscribers, if that's crashing and burning, what are we still doing here?

That's a very dangerous downward trend. Breaking that kind of momentum and stablising a ship that sinks that fast is pretty hard because its financially budgeted differently to CoH.
To be honest Ide rather have CoX fairly consistent numbers because the costs are built in line with that. NC know what they have to play with.
Whereas AOC will fall into financial trouble and when the downward spiral hits the staffing levels and the amount of content they can justify getting out...
tricky...

Dont get too carried away with the base editor. Only Sg leaders and people they nominate can use them, that's something like 5-10% of the population of the game, max.
Which is why I have been crying out for apartments for years. Cause everyone likes to customise, not just the chosen few.

Some things to consider.
1. NCSoft bought the CoH IP from Cryptic. Cost? Easily $millions
2. NCSoft set up a new company, in new offices, to develop for CoH. Cost? $millions.
3. NCSoft have employed a LOT of new staff to develop for CoH. Cost? $hundreds of thousands.
If anyone SERIOUSLY thinks they're now going to do NOTHING with the IP, after spending all this money, they're idiots.
I guarantee you, good things are coming soon; and very likely some WOW factor stuff. They will HAVE too.

I'm now losing confidence in them.
There is absolutely no question in my mind they should be up there, waving the flag by now and they havent.
If you take i13 in its true context, it completely sucks.
In itself it doesnt, but practically everyone was expecting something major and we got (apart from Mission Architecht) same same same and an off line (??????) career "game", which this thread is supposed to be about, lest we forget.
AND I14 is gonna be late.
Sorry.

I may be misremembering this but in the past before major content updates, there were always several announcements, as in the first things that they announce are some stuff then later they announce more and more detail for the first things announced. Assuming that this is the case here perhaps it'd be better to wait a little before crying doom so loudly. And for all we know CO could bomb completely and DCU only released on XBOX. The future is not yet written (unless you work for Oru-boru-wotsit) if this is all the content that we get for i13 I would be slightly more cautious but to start with we don't know for sure that it is. GR has said several times that there will be more. But even if it is it is entirely possible that i14 will be ready to ship just as CO or DCU are, which IMO would be the best thing to do anyway.

I run a SG, there is only me in it and one of my mains just tip-toed past 1 million prestige today. Sure its not got everything in but it is certainly doable to make an SG base with enough good stuff in to have fun and play around with it.

So, to be able to customise your own space you think everyone should not join and benefit from SGs like you?
Or you think it may be better if everyone could get their own apartments AND be in an active SG if that's their choice?

Uh...
I am benefiting from an SG, its small and has possibly less features than the biggest or even medium sized SGs but I have complete control over what happens.
I didn't actually say anything about player housing what so ever, I don't care one way or another about it.
100% of the population currently has access to a base editor if they put the work in, and that was all I was saying.
Jeez confrontational much?

Perhaps they take a different view of when things should be announced. Being closer to the MMO games industry generally, and as close as anyone can get to their own plans, perhaps they're in a better position to form a judgement about the best timing.

Why not predict NCNC being wiped out by an earthquake while you're at it? I13 doesn't have a release date yet, and we know nothing about I14's content or when it might be due - how on earth can anyone make meaningful predictions about whether it'll be on time or not?
Standoff, at an educated guess I would say I13 is due for release mid-November. I doubt they will get I14 out before New Year. Only two Issues this year I think. Oh well.

Wasn't the mission creator schedule for Issue 14, originally? In that sense, we're getting the content early.
Yeah, that does seem likely for I13 - that said, I don't think the "3 Issues a year" makes 31st December the hard and fast (and very likely to be missed!) deadline for I14.
Issue 12 came out on 12th March this year, so I14 any time before that date next year would get them under the wire.
Yeah, just about. I wonder what goodness I14 will bring with it?

Er, did they not announce they would be running 3 issues a year? Seeing as this one isnt even on test so far you think they'll meet the target? Again, if I'm wrong I'll apologise.

Hardly; if they'd released I12 on 1st December, at the same time saying "we plan to do 3 issues/year from now on" would you have expected 2 more releases by the end of the month?
The "two more releases before 1 year is up" interpretation fits the words, and would seem a bit more realistic.
