I remember yet another post here from someone that got deleted that said something like:Just wait till Champions Online comes out and this game dies a month later. Cryptic is giving us everything we ever wanted.
I love irony.
PS: I especially loved the post that claimed that Issue 16 was stealing ideas from Champions Online when it came to power customization. I began to cry due to laughing so hard.

I can't with a good conscience call the individual a moron because I personally don't know what goes into making these effects possible.
Ultra Mode (to me) DOES look more like a spit-shine than it does a graphical engine overhaul. So I sorta empathize with the individual.
It's not ultra-mode that i'm looking forward to, it's the content and what the developers consider 'content' that interests me the most.

Now that is one crazy story, going to copy and paste to email to a few friends who will get a kick out of it... Also, wasn't there a guy who actually died from playing to much WoW or was that a urban legend?

She STILL plays every waking moment she's not in class, now with her new "man." Now, here's the kicker: when I mentioned to her my connection to CoH, she said "City of Heroes? I tried it, but didn't care for the other players. Those people are CRAZY." |

IIRC, hours 2 and 3 say something like "please consider taking a break", and further hours say "please take a break".

Well, no sillier than a party i went to where someone loaded ratemycameltoe on a computer in the kitchen and about half the people made a drinking game out of rating all the pictures. That and general raucous commentary.
Dr. Todt's theme.

On a psych-o-meter for Ultra Mode, I'm slightly above "meh", but I also don't think that the Developers have been hyping for half a year now something that was literally a button press, either.|

Ultra Mode is Shadows, Reflections, and Water. It's a matter of wine tasting, really. I'm not a connoisseur of graphics and am not overly impressed. I just don't voice it that often out of the fact that I seem to be in a very small minority and don't want to spoil it for others.
And no need to apologize. I'd be a fool to not recognize my own foolishness.
Probably the worst I've seen involving this game. About halfway down the page
"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

NVM. Deleted for stupidity.

That article can't be the worst when dealing with PvP. Have you read the PvPEC threads on powers that are banned because they are "broken?" And the reasoning for not banning certain ATs primaries and secondaries?|

Here's my own two stupid misconceptions:
Until I started playing CoX about a year ago, I had never played an MMORPG before. Way back when CoH was first released, I was eager to play it until I found out it was an MMORPG. I didn't think I'd like MMORPGs, mostly because of some bad assumptions I had:
1) I thought when playing an MMORPG, you HAD to team with other people. (I was uncomfortable about teaming with strangers) I assumed solo play just wasn't an option.
2) I thought PvP was everywhere. I assumed that at any point in the game, there was always the risk of another player coming up and killing you.
It was only after a friend talked me into trying out the game on his account that I saw how wrong my assumptions were. The ironic thing is, I've since run with pugs and tried pvp, and neither is as bad as I expected (although I still mostly solo in PvE when not playing with friends)
