Very Clever Devs!

If you think us having more posts is what convinces us we're more correct than you are, you should reassess.

Can we talk crap about it if we've seen everything announced about it so far and think it's crap? Number of posts has nothing to do with it. Competition for this game has nothing to do with it. Even if I loved DC Comics with a passion of the red sun of Krypton, I don't think I'd play DCUO.

And there are people on these forums who stay and post long after they've let their subscription lapse, talking about how awesome the game they're going to play is, and how it's going to crush this one. Then they go away for a few months. Then they come back and try to act like nothing ever happened.

Some of us are just smart enough to see new game hype for what it is, and not be duped. While Nethergoat's language may have been a bit coarse, his assessment is pretty much spot on from what I've seen. Blunt isn't the same as disrespectful.

I must agree with you on this one. after taking some time reading past comments about DCUO. I personally love CoX too and if you ask me, i prefer CoX since it is not only my first payed MMO but it has been one of the hobbies that have give me a very great additional good times. We can call it the Father/Mother of customization and creativity.

I must admit that the Dev team need to take a little more time to fix the plethora of bugs and other issues, but my hear is still with this game. I can't lie that i am not tempted to play DCUO and for what i can see, the game looks compromising to me. Sure it will be a little more commercial thanks to DC but good competition will give more reasons to take CoX to a new level.

I am very glad to find people who love CoX and does not fear to talk the positive things of the competition

Probably because those are kinda hard to find

I have to agree with the Lemur here. I already went through this with Champions Online's expansive promises and I know disappointing THAT game is. I'm not interested in more trailers and hype from another MMO that looks like it's going to be even farther a-left-field.

Yes, it is hard to find open minded people anywhere. Today it is all about the typical closed minded prejudice bigots. No matter what, there will be the ones who are one of a kind :P

See, maybe if you'd said this instead of making idiotic comments about people's god complexes or their post counts, you would have been taken a little more seriously. Not much, since we're just going to have to agree to disagree about DCUO, but some.

Here's a tip about disagreeing with people on a forum. If you're going to do it, disagree with the specific thing someone says, and don't make it about something irrelevant like post count, and certainly don't try to lump people into one big category just because they happen to match in that irrelevant aspect.

I know

Insults will not get you far around here, bub.

In fairness Golden Girl was doing her usual passive-aggressive smiley thing. I don't blame people for getting annoyed with that style of posting. Telling someone to shut up but it's ok because you stuck a smilie on it, yeah I know it could be a joke. It could also be read as a dig (but wrapped up in a joke because Mr Smilie says it is).

In general sticking GG on ignore is the best option if you haven't developed your own internal filters for one-line smilies.

I don't particularly believe these forums are filled with closed-minded bigots either mind. I frequently give out about some aspects of this game, and myself and Sam frequently have arguments where we're on opposing sides. The difference is we've still got respect for each others point of view, even if we disagree with it personally.

I admit i did annoyed at first but GG has the rights like all of us to say what she wants so no problem with that. I apologize for the ''air head'' comment. I like your post because in additional of neutral it is very fair. There are lots of open minded people here too and proof of that exists. I got a little up-set with Sam since he came with the ''you will not get far'' something that i am not looking here and that's why i took the time to answer him.
We are all different and that is needed because it will be very boring if we were the same way. The important is just as you said, that no matter what is the difference in our opinions, we can respect each other.

I apologize for the things i said that got a little over the line and i hope this thread can go a little more positive

If you think what you've experienced here is bad...well I must say you really haven't experienced the worst forums that MMOs can offer.

Remember the fact Blizzard were threatening the whole Real ID thing because they realised their forums are a complete mess? Openly hostile to new players asking question, generally rude and what useful information there is on there was buried under a ton of crap. It is seen as the worst gaming forum on the internet and Blizzard had to threaten to reveal players names because they thought that was the only way to clean up its image.

The Eve online forums are...strangely civil for a game where griefing is seen as part of the gameplay but I think thats because the game has a learning curve that curves so hard it turns into an overhang. Even there you will still get big arguements.

I won't even get started on the CO, AoC or the many unofficial WAR forums, the APB forums while the game was running were equally terrible.

Generally these forums are on par with the Eve forums, civil discussion happens.

The 'Twixt' story he went out of his way to antagonise as many people as he possibly could IIRC and generally acted like a [censored] all under the banner of 'scientific research' most of which was absolute bupkiss anyway with him skewing the results as he saw fit.

Lets take the guy who posted his video review of CoH/GR, the guy made an ungodly number of errors in it, had clearly 'not done the research' and while he asked for opinions, when people pointed all that out he got incredibly defensive and wouldn't admit he was in the wrong.

So don't act so heartwounded by a simple disagreement from other people.

Am I interested in DCUO?

No.

It has a COish art-style and much like CO is focusing on trying to be a console port (press Z to talk to a contact instead of just click on them? Really CO?). It has the whole WoW 'costumes as gear' element which just sucks in an MMO where customisation is key and generally doesn't look like a good MMO, I've played enough bad ones to spot a 'meh' one (I've played all the MMOs I've listed above, WAR, AoC, WoW, CO and attempted to play Eve but just couldn't get my head around it, Eve isn't bad just completely newbie unfriendly) .

The new Final Fantasy MMO is accused of this and according to all reviews it is basically a really, really awful console port.

Dr: Mechano,
I agree with you when it comes to the City of Heroes GR video review you are right and about the other game forums which i have hear about with people who play there. There is one thing i can't accept you is the i am acting heart wounded. I am just telling my opinion and because in other forums is that way, we can make a thing better here so nothing new when it comes to someone telling what they feel. For you is heart wounded, for me is not accepting it but respecting all of the other users opinions.

I have played WoW in the past and to be honest it was not for me. I don't know if Cataclysm will change that but for that, i must try it. I still have not try Eve online but looks a little interested to me. CO i did not like it and there is no way for me to trying it again. I love the Final Fantasy games and along with the Zelda series are my favorites but their MMO's has never catch my attention thanks to a lot of other things and the one you already mentioned.

I know about the research of Twixt and what i agree with him it does not have anything to do with this subject just like i said before but i have see very close attitudes in game like the ones his report mentioned.

So no matter what other game is good or not, that will not affect this great game. In some comments i see a lot of concern hidden under rough comments. In my case i am no longer concern since if CoX survived WoW over commercial sucess and survived all the new ones that come, why should DCUO be a threat? Learn to have more confidence in the game you like and to some users (not everyone in this thread) let's make a better community instead of throwing trash at each other.

He got those closed attitudes by being as offensive as possible, hence skewing the results of his data, which isn't very scientific.

CoH has survived all that would threaten it so far, even the biggest hit that could have been disasterous (CO) turned out to be a mere blip. I know CoH will survive DCUO.

The point I'm saying is the community is already good, it doesn't need to get much better, heck even our Trolls are either amazingly amusing (I love you ResidentBaka!) and Golden Girl has some merit on occasions.

/that... about sums it up when it comes to the forums...if i feel really offended by a responce to one of my posts i go and read the offenders other posts/threads to see if this is a trend of that person so i can blow it off as SOP(fanboi/hater/troller/other) or if the offenders other posts are usually intelligent and respectful then again i can go ahead and blow that one off as them having a bad day...now if I'm having a bad day my apologies in advance

The joke is in the context

Rofl!
