I think the joke was that people who run macs are SoL in general, he was insinuating that being SoL and having a Mac had nothing to do with CoH.
Also the statement he was joking about, had to do with the launcher not being available for mac, not CoHs performance on the mac in general. |
And to state the fact that despite it performing better on mac, the devs still seem to all-but ignore that there is a mac version when it comes to things like this launcher issue.
My feedback on this, great aura it looks great on one of my toons and I've had a hard time finding a good aura for her. I may also put it on a few other toons. hope its in I20.

Oh I know that, I was just replying to the typical "mac hater response" with the fact that, yet again, Mac does something better than Windows.

Yes this game is technically "multi-platform". But it's really only multi-platform because the Devs tinkered with it just enough to make supporting a Mac baseline cost-effective enough for them to hassle with. Obviously I'm sure our Devs love to get the extra money they get from people who play their game exclusively on the Mac. But let's not fool ourselves here - the Devs could stop supporting the Mac baseline tomorrow and the overall impact to their subscription numbers might be statistically significant but hardly crippling.

Yes but how can NCsoft subtly advertise the existence of their other games if they don't force us to use this new unified launcher?

I'm glad because I wouldn't touch the rest of NCSoft's offerings with a ten foot pole. While wearing gloves. And a toxic waste outfit.
Yes that's how I really feel.

I just LOVE all the nerdrage at the NCSoft Launcher. Like all nerdrage, it's so pointless.
EVERY other MMO out there uses something like this. I'm surprised it took NCSoft this long to do it.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
Really, what Kheldarn said. I'd heard all the doom and hate on the other forums, and was prepared for the worst.
I just finished installing and setting up. It was utterly painless. And it updated test in half the time it would normally take.
You great, frilly-knickered pansies, the lot of ya's!
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

I don't get it either - it's just a game launcher, that's all

It's like "How dare a company advertise their other games!!" "How dare they make a system that works for all of their games and is easier to maintain than having a separate one for each individual game!" "How dare they make one launcher so I don't have to have three separate shortcuts for the Live, Test, and Beta servers cluttering my desktop!"
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

I like the launcher. It's efficient and has a simple interface. Nothing cluttery or in your face. Heck, its built in patcher is more effective the regular CoH one by a fair bit. My patch apply time was cut almost in half from what I'm seeing.
Anyway, this is an interesting aura. Not sure who I'll give give it to, though. The whirling motion reminds me of the Ember Shield animation.

On the other hand, I have nothing but sympathy for those who are trying to use the new Launcher, and are having various problems with it not working, and for Mac users, who continue to get the shaft.

Want your wisp aura and never see the nc launcher again?
You're in luck you can do just that!
Install the nc launcher and run it once to launch coh... bam you now have your aura
then edit your short cut to point to the:
old.CohUpdater.exe
on my computer the path in my shortcut looks like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\City of Heroes\old.CohUpdater.exe"
So it boots up using the original method and I never have to see the icky nc soft launcher again after the first time!

That will only work for a limited time. Eventually, the launcher will be required.
