Something water based, probably - that's been requested a heck of a lot.

Didn't you get the memo? We complain about Psychic Melee's release now.

To paraphrase J. Wellington Wimpy: I'll gladly pay you next Tuesday for Staff Fighting today.

Farewell is like the end

3)Use a zoom tool to approach/decrease distance to characters.

So...yeah, probably a few weeks tops and I'm sure the programmers have SOME free time...
I'm not a programmer either, but I'm pretty darn sure Neuronia was kidding. No need for people to keep telling him how wrong he is.

No, I don't think you understand. This post right here? The one that looks really simple and easily done? This took eleventy billion dollars to make, years of development time and man-hours, and at least twelve human sacrifices (we lost count after the 12th). You can't just throw these things together in 5 minutes and call it done.

Actually, no. I'd have been pleased to know that it came out before 2XP weekend. At this point, pleased is out of the question. I'm now half interested that it's coming out, maybe I'll play it, maybe I won't, but something I wasn't planning on is now something I will seriously consider. Cancelling multiple CoH VIP accounts once the new MMO I'm waiting on is released. Was planning on playing both, but only out of a feeling of loyalty to CoH, which sadly has been squandered.

Which reminds me, I need to move the other computer to the downstairs office so they can play together.
One of life's deep questions has been solved for me now. Yes, I really have been wondering whether Zwillinger has twins.

Not sure that is in fact something awful. Discussion and information sharing is good.


The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Huh? It is? This is something that is completely alien to me. Why would anyone lose interest in something they are interested in over the course of a month or so? About the only way this makes sense to me is if the people in question are not playing CoH at all, and they end up being away for so long that they get engrossed in something else instead and never come back.

I honestly, truly cannot grasp that concept.

Fanboys aside who are ragging on people who are rightfully aggravated for having to wait weeks for a set that was ready for release weeks ago - I hope the people who run this game will reexamine this strategy of stringing out releases.

The idea that releasing two sets at the same time would piss off customers seems pretty ironic in this case. I'd say you'd have a lot less upset customers if they had a choice between two powersets at the same time, rather than making a large chunk of your paying customers wait on a set you've dangled in front of them for weeks while trying to get them to spend points on ligers and blessing of the zephyr io's. And if said customer had a desire to buy them both, they'd buy them both regardless of when they were released.

I was very excited initially about this set, but the excitement turned to aggravation as it became clear the set was being held back from release even though it was fully ready to be implemented. At this point, I'm really not sure if I'm going to even buy it now, especially after hearing how mediocre the damage is from shinobi (and he's a guy who knows how to test drive a powerset). I've got a feeling it's another dual pistols, a set that looks nice, but is akin to fighting with spitballs, or in this case, a wet, rolled-up newspaper. So now I'm aggravated and disappointed - I'm guessing that's not what the people who run this game were going for, but that's where I am, and from what I've been reading, I'm not alone.

The reason I complain is because I like this game, and I want the people who run it, to run it intelligently so it sticks around for a while longer. So hopefully, the way this situation was handled was just a singular mistake, and not something that becomes commonplace.

I think the part that resonated with me was "There is a sweet spot between being exposed to a set on test and slowly losing interest in it as time goes on."

I viewed it as the being used on BETA in early January, getting level bumps to 50 mid January and testing high level DA incarnate content in late January. The time in between that and the release next week was much longer than a month.

While I'm not sure if the marketing team or whoever in charge of the powerset releases will change their practices, I know I'd much rather see two powersets released at the same time, and have a week of nothing new (maybe just sales instead) than wait.

And while I havent cared for the wait, won't let that stop me from finally being able to play it

You think you're funny, don't you? I was serious when I predicted the end of the month as the release date. I'm currently working on something, and I don't need the distraction of a--

Ooo! SHINEY! Have my monies!

(Seriously, though, this is so gonna distract me... it's worth it, but...)
