This is actually a genius marketing move. If you want to find out how popular the changes are that you're instituting, give people the chance to either play the new stuff in beta or stick around and keep playing the old stuff with bonus XP. If the new stuff wins, then you've made good changes.

it used to be oh so easy to find a mission team or a TF forming but now its like pulling teeth to get a response to LFT. its enough to make me want to get PLed in AE (and not in PI where people are asking for exorbitant amount of money to join a farm) and I rarely PL my toons in regular play time. weekend. |

I'd rather the community mods take 30 seconds out of the time fixing it (Since the mods aren't the ones fixing it anyways) to tell us what the general problem is, as opposed to saying nothing.

Dear Devs,
Thank you for the break! I got done a few things that I knew I should do, but was avoiding because of the game. I hope to get some time in beta while we wait for the live servers... good luck fixing the issue!
Sincerely,
The Raptor

I guess you could ask the people who know best whether it was necessary. Although given they are the ones that said that it was necessary, and then did it, I imagine the answer to that question would be fairly easy to predict.

Things that suck about CO:
1) Made by the same development team (supposedly) but inferior.
2) False advertising on the "Teleport" power...how could the same team have done teleport RIGHT in COX, but gotten it so terribly, horribly WRONG in CO?
3) Only 5 outdoor zones? Really? Sure they're about 1.5 times as big as the average COX zone, but with only one server, there are always massive numbers of instances of every outdoor zone, and no mechanism to automatically make teammates exiting an instance wind up in the same instance of the outdoor zone.
4) For a game based on the single most customizable RPG, the power customization is pathetic. Done by items only? and only sword powersets have significant numbers of those equipment based powerups? BLECH!
All in all, CO is an incredibly dissapointing waste of effort. If they'd spent that effort creating a game that was an ACTUAL implementation of the Champions Hero system, it might have been worth playing.

Alvays remember, schmot guy...any plan vere you lose you hat...is a BAD PLAN!
Got the 15 minute warning, decided to run Levantera's second arc anyway. Yeah, the one with the timed/stealth mission at the end.
Finished with less than 2 minutes to spare. :-)

[QUOTE=theOcho;3409811]As to the REAL reason I'll be leaving, I'm afraid it is indeed because Tamaki Revolution dc'd on me during a RSF.[/QUOTE]
it's a cunning plan.....no ones breaking the beta server
close live servers + people breaking beta server = happy devs
i also demand stuff
dunno what yet....but i wants stuff
(i would like to point out i am joking)

Take it as a sign that the devs give a crap about keeping their players in the loop. Moreover, it's a respect thing, we pay them monthly for a service, I expect them to let us know what they are doing to the service when it's not available. I don't think it's that hard to understand.

Some of you guys are big babies, so what Double Xp is down for 1 hour, get over it ok. Some of us end up Skipping hours and days of Double Xp do too Work and Collage, One hour won't kill you.
Never play another NcSoft game, If you feel pride for our game, then it as well, I Superratz am Proud of all of you Coh people, Love, Friendship will last for a lifetime.

Don't I know you???
Okay personally I have been here since the beginning of the game with other accounts.. I was around when you could herd the whole Dreck map and dumpster dive kill all in a matter of 3 m inutes flat.. pl from 1-50 in 30 minutess wohoo... Do i understand the herd cap nerrf and fear in burn.. Yeah okay maybe people werent playing game content and were running around with a bunch of 50 newbs... But it was FUN! And that hasn't changed for the most part cause of AE.... But anywho... And then more issues came along and the game lost ALLOOOT of players.. Red flag there? granted more people are starting to come back and more will come with "Freedom" But very rarely have I ever seen double xp weekend go down for maint twice... >.< Sure most of us could use the break since many have probably not slept since last night...But how about some info on what is going on, its an exploit like the monkeys in ae, okay cool well you're workin g on it but many of us have paid 15 dollars a month for ALOT of years and it would be appriciated if maybe we could get an actualy explination... Sorry for my ever going and pointless rant that fed the masses with the rest of the crowd but the lack of explination after being told to check the forums is kinda aggervating.... Thank you for your time...

This thread is epic. It has literally redefined the word "discussion" for me.

Ditto Velociteh, It is a matter of having the respect for the customer to let us know what is going on with our product we pay money for, ESPECIALLY during an event, with unplanned downtime...

I take it back NC SOFT is enough evil for anyone...
I for one would really appreciate it if they would schedule their emergencies further in advance.
Which person is responsible for deciding to have an emergency during double XP weekend?
Why couldn't they schedule things to break @ 3:30 am Mon morning next week?
