What about the base building community? can we still cry doom? maybe PVPers too, i guess they're kind of in a similar boat as the base building crowd.

A dabbling builder myself, I wouldn't say PvP and Bases are in the same exact boat, except inasmuch as i13 changed everything. But whereas i13 seems to have been a huge detriment to the PvP community, it was a huge boon to Base Building. Removal of the raid pathing checks and ease of stacking unlocked unparalleled base options - a sort of Renaissance. |

Now, true, both have lingered without update or modification since then, but while i13 acted as a sort of coup de grace to PvP, I'd argue it was probably the biggest boon that ever hit base building. So PvP is lingering on a festering wound, while Bases are lingering of a well-fertilised field. It's not quite the same thing.

Fair enough. So does that mean base builders can't cry doom yet while PVPers can or should we all just shut up and be happy for what we've got?|

If you're asking my opinion, I say everyone can doom any time they want for whatever reason, but I'm not the OP. |

If it wasn't for CoX and HeroMMO3, there would be nothing on the forums of heroMMO2.

Oh no, their license and Sony's bottomless pockets might allow them to linger irrelevantly?

Even a game SOE utterly ruined is still around due to it's license. |

Whenever there is change, there are going to be questions and concerns. Healthy skepticism is exactly that: healthy, and although we prefer constructive criticisms and questions to DOOM rants (rants being against the rules of the board), the opinions of these players are as valid as any other. Ultimately, everyone wants to see City of Heroes be the best game it can be, and so long as the rules are abided by we will gladly listen to any doubts and uncertainties people may have.
That being said, I believe this discussion has gone everywhere it can go, so I am locking the thread. If there is any constructive feedback you would like to share with us, please feel free to start a new thread.
to the OP,
though i do agree with you in the spirit of the post, i do hope that you realize the complete hypocrisy of it........ please tell me you do.
Oh yeah, that was the time that girl got her whatchamacallit stuck in that guys dooblickitz and then what his name did that thing with the lizards and it cleared right up.
screw your joke, i want "FREEM"
