I'd be very surprised.

And yes, I know I'm starting to turn into one of "those" people. Believe me, I don't like it, either.

What he said exactly was 'We could write Arcs, but with MA out there, we'd rather write TF/SF's'. I'm pretty sure that any new zones will have their own arcs associated with them, or they'd look rather thin. But I'd say it doesn't sound promising for people who'd like the devs to add new arcs to older zones like Boomtown or DA.

One of us.

I've been one of "those" people for a bit now. Marketing is to blame.


Global: @Pandemonia

We're sorry. Due to the lack of adequate marketing, user patience has died 90+ days ago. Please try again sans "Soon."

They also said at Hero Con that they'll be adding more Cimerora content, which will tie in with the Coming Storm - so while that could mean more TFs based in Cimerora, I think it's more likely to mean arcs.

Aren't we supposed to get at least one more update before GR? I would rather get some info on that first. GR will get here eventually, or it won't.

They said there's no Issue before GR - but they might have the graphics update ready before GR, so it could come out on its own.

That was all said back in October. A lot of things could have changed by now since really nothing has been said since.

Indeed. Based on a PM conversation I had with Dark Watcher about Ultra Mode and ATI cards, it sounds like the current plan is to release the graphics upgrade either as a part of or in conjunction with Going Rogue. Of course, even this is subject to change up until the moment we can enable Ultra Mode in our options window.

The FAQ is dated...May.

That came out following the website reveal and press releases, also in early...May.

Hero Con had the most information...but that was for us. Unless I'm missing something, and I very much hope for someone to correct me--there hasn't been any GR publicity for more than eight months.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Nah. I keep my sub running when i'm bord to keep my vet rewards current, so i can keep posting here, and because i'm thankfully I can spare 30 bucks a month for the above reasons. Should vet rewards stop, or the money gets tight, well, to bad so sad.

I will say this though. I lack of new and information... on... anything CoH related atm, my enthusaium is starting to fade. And right on the heels of a new MMO i have a mild intrest in. Not a good time, IMO, to be resting on your lorals... but eh, what do i know?

Ding Ding Ding!

The Dump is correct!

Regarding the utter lack of actual marketing by the marketing department, here's some Tweets I found interesting:

"To all CoH fans: Contrary to popular belief, I do not control the marketing plans. You will have better luck begging @CoH_OCR for info."
- Positron 10:40 AM Jan 15th from TweetDeck -

"You guys should be hearing more news VERY soon"
- COHBABs 10:14 AM Jan 14th from web in reply to naienko -

I'm not sure if anyone else is having the issue, but the forums have been slow for me in the past 12 hours or so. Maybe the Community team is doing something besides forum games or promoting years-old events.

Maybe . . .

I wonder if they know how much some members of this community really dislike them. On second thought, from the look of things they don't care.

Babs said soon.

His definition of that word is ENORMOUSLY different than my definition.

If I tell someone it will be ready soon... (like dinner) That means within 20 minutes.

If I tell someone I will have X done soon... that means within an hour...

If something takes longer than either of those 2 things I do NOT say the word soon... I say, I dunno. Because I dont ******* know.

This is so true right here they keep saying *soon* maybe they should look this word up for the real defintion cause it sure doesn't mean what they think it means.

Inconceivable!



No...it's not so much that BABs said, "soon"...it's that he said, "VERY soon". For me when I see "soon" from the devs I'm thinking 1-3 months...I saw VERY capitalized and was like, "oh maybe today/tonight?!" then..."maybe tomorrow?" then "ah crud...probably a month from now." :/ :P

I love the devs/the work they do...just need more info!

And yes, I have kind of stayed subscribed mainly for the vet reward badges (darn badge-a-holic!)...and I have had fun playing but yeah...interest is waning...

Everything is relative to something else. BAB's version of "soon" is probably pretty quick when compared to the expected heat-death of the universe several 100 billion years from now.

Us old timers have already learned that a Dev's version of "soon" is a bit skewed from anyone else's. While it's kind of fun to be upset by it is this "lack-of-news" really news to anyone?

I believe Alpha stage has already started, and that some of you... Know what the Hell is going on... and you just sit on your butts laughing at all of us who just want some new info.

My interest isn't going anywhere, but my frustration level has already gone through the roof.

If there is an Alpha going on, it's got to be internal. When they get to the point where any of us gets to play it, or even the "Friends and Family closed beta" stage, it gets put up on Test...and it's definitely not up there yet. So the only ones that know what's happening with it at this point are developers, paid testers, and other employees of Paragon Studios (and possibly a 3rd party testing company, I don't know if they include that in internal testing as some companies do). So if you're refering to anyone in the player base knowing, it's highly unlikely.
