Yeah that was some mortuary humor, sorry about that. Although it won't hurt having the devs see that the Cryptic engine is something that people don't want.
I had the same issue as poptart fairy with the inconsistent functioning of the engine when playing CO. I've had absolutely none of those problems when playing Aion, and the Crysis engine just looks far superior IMO. It already has the flying mechanic built in, but I do miss having the ragdoll physics that we enjoy in CoH.
If they let the Koreans do the animations and engines and let the westerners worry about the content and lore, I'd be very happy.
:x Sorry.. I just think they are lightyears ahead of the game in terms of graphics and style compared to clunky western games. AoC and CO were two big relatively recent western launches that look horrible. And look at some new ones coming out.. Guild Wars 2 and Secret Planet??? Hideousness compared to TERA Online and Blade and Soul. *sigh*

Personally, I hope there is a COH2, that is fresh start. I would be nice for once, things would be new feel again, I would be giddy, instead of jaded, 13yrs of MMOs, maybe Its possible?
Perhaps though to help transition, they allow folks who pre-order to save a name on a server & if you say said name is tied to a toon thats 50, you start at lvl 2? or 3?
Something like that.

I think it's very likely that they'd give some kind of bonus for current CoH players.
Also, when you say a fresh start, do you mean not setting it in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles? Or do you just mean having some huge event that changed the look of the city, to explain away the new version? Like City Hall and the Atlas statue are pretty iconic in the game, and I think it'd be better to keep those in a revamped/rebuilt Atlas Park, rather than make it a totally different place.

Maybe keep em, but dont make em the focus. Obviously cut out much of zones, that dont need to be kept. Merge stuff together, perhaps some massive event happened, caused by "insert coming storm theories" & then have open City like with Praetoria. But less zones.|

Then from there expand outwards, to say Jungles of Africa or Carribean or Wilds of Siberia or Space Stations, Another Planet, Undersea stuff, Praetoria again, etc.. etc.. etc..
Make the City Be focal point for say first 10-15 lvls, then from there you go everywhere else around the world & galaxy & what not. With Random Mishes back into Paragon or The Isles for stop X person from doing X thing. It really needs to be more epic in where we go & what we do.
Obviously work on more unique maps, sure its ok to see couple same office buildings or factory here & there, but should be waaaaaaaaaay more unique maps, that you don't see anywhere else. Take a page out of Mass Effect 2, with how they tried make every mission map as different as they could.
Re-work powers, like Assault Rifle, honestly Franken gun flamethrowing assault rifles? bah, SOA had better "Assault" rifle feel.
Anywhoozle, thats how I feel.

Keep the Damn Costume Creator, but epic it out more With 3x as more costume stuff, especially stuff that been request for ages now, like MMA fingerless fighting gloves, Corsets, Big Mutton chop elvis like sideburns, etc, etc..

i would think if anyone was considering sequeling coh without an expansive costume creator,they have far deeper issues than a post would help, send in the white coats and bring em in, because they are nuts.

Latest unsubstantiated speculatio-rific rumor on teh interwebs: CoH2 will actually be for the PS3. Again, totally unsubstantiated, but out there.
AE Arcs: #10482 N00b Rescue Duty, #164100 The Four Treasures of the Tuatha De Dannan
If CoH2 is in the works, I'd like to see it in a completely separate universe. Allow them to create brand new game lore and history.
NOOOO! CoH is still only in its INFANCY! It has only just gotten AWESOME! We must WAIT! Wait until people see through the blasphemous facade that is World of Warcraft. They must see just how overrated that abomination is before CoH2!

TO THE END!Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!

I wouldn't say that Korean games are ahead in graphics or style, I'd say you prefer the graphical look they use but I would also say that their style would look weird in a superhero setting.

If memory serves me, the Sony / NCsoft collaboration was suspended some time ago. Plus it would have CoH2 compete with Sonys' own DCUO on the PS3, so prolly not.
