An "I Quit" Post

@TURGENEV - Freedom Server / IRON / B.A.N.E / HORDE

Turg Fiction: Ghost in the Machine Acts III & IV coming 2012!
Turg Fiction: IX is now LIVE on Architect Entertainment!
Y'know, it's interesting--I routinely complain about the same-old, same-old when playing the low lvl game, but occasionally, I'll hit the base crystal and see and arc and think "??? I don't remember playing that arc", and Viola! what's old is new again.
And I feel your pain--I quit everytime my blaster gets stunned by Brawl

I quit City of Heroes.
No, really, I did. A few weeks ago, I told some of the people closer to me that I was quitting, sent my feedback quietly to a red name, and even reevaluated my budget now that this $15 a month as freed up. One of the last things said red name told me was "I hope that you find something in a future Issue that can bring you back." I politely told them something akin to "Ya right" and resumed closing up shop. Then I read the Issue 19 notes in detail on I19's launch day. "Character switching without logging out? Cool, now I can mix up my play styles in one sitting more easily. Nifty, if I were staying." "Power Animations? Well, Marcian, the only reason you didn't pick supernatural powers was because it bothered you that all characters used the same animations. So, that opens up whole new power sets for you." "Incarnates... so now my level 50 is relevant again. Wait, and the story makes him stronger than Statesman or Recluse!?" "Praetoria got fleshed out some more!? Didn't I just vent that there was no auto mission generator? Did they read my mind!? You said you'd only use Seers for good!" ----- In all seriousness, Issue 19 handily takes care of the vast majority of the reasons I'm quitting. I knew the update was coming for a while. There's a difference, however, between hearing something will be happening soon and actually logging on and having said options laid out before you. I tried to leave, but they keep me in. Again and again. I can only imagine that I20, in all its shrouded secrecy, is going to crabshell us with some incredible other feature that keeps me in the game. Good job, Red Names. You all collaborate on a fine project. LFT? |
...And I think that's the key; the developers here strike me as wanting to challenge themselves and their game, and I get the sense that they treat the game and all its code as their 'old girl' and care for it deeply...

Add to it that the existing game and the things they like to do are different from the industry standard and you really capture what I love most about this game from an artistic/craftsmanship standpoint.
Anyways... well said and agreed on that and the rest of your post!

and round up everyone that knows more than they do"-Dylan
I have quit so many times I cant even count them all. I have been gone this time since i12, i19 with side switching and the beginning of actual endgame content has brought me back yet again. See you guys in the game.
I understand this on many levels...now for those who are barely hanging on to CoX and not overly excitied about i19 and the upcoming i20 it might be a good time for some i21 news however small it may be...and soon wont cover it!

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.
Sorry, Marcian. For the last time, there is no moon base in I20.

total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
I'll admit, given the friendly, casual nature the game had for the last 6 years, i was looking forward to endgame and the personality conflicts that it often brings about as much as unrestricted all-zone pvp with permadeath. but so far posi has taken a path that is still doable without me needing to update my resume, so i'm cautiously enthused about it.

I'm glad I didn't get sucked in to Marcian's ploy and read this whole thread... again.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
If I became a red name, I would be all "and what would you mere mortals like to entertain me with today, mu hu ha ha ha!" ~Arcanaville
the fact that high lvl stuff now comes into play is the ONLY reason im still here.
im not into playing the same low lvl arcs ..i wanna play my 50s and as long as they stick to their word on the incarnate stuff then ill be here.
im all about the high lvl stuff so this issue was the greatest in a long time!
