My theroy for I20? Absolute disapointment yet again. So far they have a great track record of disapointing issues for the past two years and with GR being a big joke to me along with the Party Pack. Seriously though? I HOPE it isn't CoX 2 because what the hell was the point of making us pay for an expansion for a game that was about to go to the way side? What I DO hope it is is some more content, an issues that feels like it actually has substance and some costumes we DON'T have to pay for. Maybe, just MAYBE it is a revisiting of PvP with a giant banner that says, "Sorry about I13." But you know that is a REALLY crazy theroy. |
As this thread shows even less people care about pvp than I originally thought.
Oh and at least one pvper in this thread has some very entertaining (iand completely blatantly drunk stupid) conspiracy theories.
Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!
I always find it amusing when people say that nobody would join an old game like CoH. Two weeks before GR came out, a coworker asked me a bunch of questions about CoH. He had tried several MMOs, and wanted to find one he could play with his grandson without having to swear a blood oath to spend every waking moment raiding with some guild just to be able to accomplish anything. He wanted something casual-friendly.
I gave him a trial referral, and after a few day's play he signed up for two accounts - one for him, and one for his wife who saw it and wanted in on the fun. His son got an account for his grandson. So that's three new accounts on an 'old dying game'.

well less forum people anyway. but its not like pvp has ever gotten much support from forumites in the first place. which might be were the only 20 people pvp business started since its normally the same 20 people fighting for pvp time on the forums.

Positron's i13 letter: We are trying to make PvP more accessible to new players, while giving experienced PvP'ers the advantage that comes with formulating tactics around the new systems we're putting in place. PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.

Please, don't even joke. Turbine just ruined LOTRO with that crap. CoX is perfectly fine running on the subscription/booster pack system. If this game goes pay-to-play too (and yes, free-to-play is NOT what DDO/LOTRO are, they're pay-to-play, make no mistake, and we're getting a lot LESS now that it's gone "free") I'll probably be done with MMOs for the forseeable future.|

Players paying their usual $14.99 a month have no change in service, just a bunch of new players around.

I'm glad that you are entertained. I've been playing on freedom for 5 years now and the queue system has only been necessary only a few times for me and that was way back before i13 so why now, the system works exactly how I've detailed it, find out for yourselves and tell me otherwise. |

What company tells their customers how many of a product they have sold like they did with "75% of current subs bought GR" at PAX? "Hey man I'm super stoked you bought our Droid phone, we've sold 500 thousand just so you feel safe knowing we're not going anywhere", they don't care, they just want their phone to do everything it's supposed to do, not 6 months later it does this much then a year later it does all of this. Businesses that are confident in where they stand don't have to.
I'm glad you guys are content with how this game is going. These guys are trying to get the most out of whats left of their customers for the least amount of effort, evidenced by the Party Pack shoulda been in GR emotes.
Honestly I liked playing the whole game, it's just better when I can kill someone that is stupid rather than only getting to kick them from my team because they are stupid. If that's being a PvP'er then that's what I am, tanking RSF's on a dom is too easy anyways.
If I were drunk I'd rather be that than gullible and ready to lap up any grool the devs throw our way. Stay in school guys and girl, you need to open up your eyes some more.

My unreliable sources have now confirmed that I20 will include an entirely new pet system. All existing pets will be replaced with various breeds of small dogs.
Also, Fire/Kin will be an invalid power combination (a la Claws/Shield Defense) and all existing Fire/Kin characters will be permanently transformed into Rikti monkeys which MUST dance ALWAYS.
Perez Park's Kraken will be renamed Mr. Snotty and will have a new model resembling James Doohan made of lime Jello.
After numerous complaints, the Warwalls will be torn down and replaced with the aesthetically and functionally identical Peacewalls.

That's just nitpicking. It's obvious he meant that the times a queue was needed (ie when server was full and couldn't log in) were during issue releases. Most of that being i12 or prior.

If the system worked exactly how she describes it, it would defeat the purpose of the system. It would just take up more space on the server for no reason whatsoever, since the people in the queue would otherwise have those slots.
It doesn't work that way. That's what should really be taken from the whole discussion. The nitpicking is just pointing to her conspiracy theory for what it is.

Thanks Rachel, this pretty much. It's a pretty wild theory. Personally I think there are 2 reasons we've seen higher server strain since GR. |

1: There are more people. I've seen more new people around and I'm in the EU.
2: Praetoria takes a higher toll on the servers.
I could be wrong, I hope i am and that there really are that many more people.

Can't say I'm really excited about any theories proposed here. Sounds pretty boring imo. If I had to pick any one of them, I would choose Separate Upper/Lower torso animations as the least boring.

C'mon people, think big. It should be so wacky, unlikely and (literally) game-changing that an NDA is required to participate in the beta. Some of the suggestions have been pretty good*, several also quite plausible, but not that many ("ther tryin to kil ther oen gaem" self-destructive conspiracy theories aside) have been really crazy.
*By good i mean pretty crazy.

So now that I am less angry as this game has lately been a lot of stress for me, NOT related to the Devs stupid IG crap, I think I should post a more serious answer.
Hopefully what ever is coming is something of actually substance. Lately we have been getting a LOT of QOL changes added to the game which are nice without a doubt but it is really hard to get excited about issues when I know I will still be doing the same things I have been doing for the past couple of years just with a new shinny layer added to it. I am talking about things like AE, Power Customization, Ultra Mode, etc. It is all just a shinny layer added to the existing content and frankly I really want something new if that makes sense.
Pre-emptive response to someone who says AE is what I was asking for. With the restrictions in place with AE the content you get out of it is much along the lines of playing shinny newspaper/radio missions. AE to me is to restriciting to be truely game changing.
ALSO if it is nothing but weather...yeeeeah that would be the lamest issue ever, usurping I15 for the title.
No relation to Arachnos!
Part Pack: Now the majority of players know how we, PvPers, have felt for years now. Don't want to be so "civil" now that you have been completly ignored, do you?

New derp emotes and new derp faces in the character creator allude to the Derp Storm brewing in Ouroboros, as the derpMenders send you on new derpTasks to uncover and prevent a Derpnomenon that they seem intent on derpventing.
