Whats with all the capes?

Interesting Massively.com article charting the rise of the SuperHero MMO: Whats with all the capes?

The_Phantoms_EU · 11-01-2008 06:17 PM

Intresting article.

The obvious problem is theyre saying "theres loads and loads" when theres only 3...and 2 havent been realsed yet.

I think the point was made not about population, but about if the game is still being made or not.

I took it that they meant that the game took a different aproach to the standard MMO and that its still going strong after 4 years. Either way glad they complimented the game.

Five to ten years? Please start selling lifetime subscriptions so I can just get it over with.

Well, it has to be said, if they do have plans that'll either mean CoH 2.0 is in development as we speak, they have plans to create a sequel or there's a graphics upgrade planned. In 5 years time the in game graphics just won't cut it, never mind in ten years.

Caleb
The fearsome Caleb is another player-spawned monster. If 100 spectrals in the Thorn Isle area are defeated during daylight, he will appear at dusk with a host of demons. He keeps moving and can be hard to find, so fly high!

....this sucks..they found this with what was prop ease. and alot of players cant find this info HeHe

Also when the h3ll was the Kraken ever tht big lol (look at the galley for evidence)

The game's ultimate encounter was a 'raid' in the old recognizable style, against a huge amoebic blob

[/ QUOTE ]

^^sorry but this made me laugh. Hami aka "the blob"..this means will never complete the game..if there is infact a way. cos hami is impossable to kill (GM lvl)

Champions Online puts the focus firmly on to individual character customization, a lesson some members of the development team will surely have learned from their time working on City of Heroes.

I would think some of the other stuff in here. Clearly not all of the combat system, but other features seem really nice.

Get some mroe insights from this, maybe:

I have a question where's doctor destroys cape in all the promo artwork he's got a proper evil cape but in the game play shots there's no cape. Also the nice face detail on his mask is missing. Maybe the all singing all dancing CO game engine isn't actually all that good after all.

Glad we got rid of that guy (well, maybe a bit evil, but that's how I feel), and hope they don't intend to implement stuff like that due to the lag problem in this game. Would be rather nice with something completely new though, not just powersets, a few maps/missions etc.

...and I don't count getting perks/badges for being off-line.
