If I see an accident, I stop to help. Basically, that's what I was taught to do. I don't feel that I am better than anyone but I do feel it's a civic duty to look out for others.

Don't glance past the point of this thread. Someone was kicked from a chat for making light of sexual assault. Someone else was banned for posting a link to a porn website, to make light of the topic of sexual assault.

If you're all for forcing materials or subject matter like this down the throats of minors, that's your business. But VU has always had rules, set up by the OPs, that said these subjects were not allowed. Yet people want to push, and push, and push the limits till someone gets their "rights" taken away. Then the bad guys are the OPs for enforcing the rules they made.

Everyone on the internet is an anonymous saint and sinner. Sadly, when you're using a pay service and you give your personal information to the "man" you are no longer anonymous. And if reporting people is my way of helping out, or in your words "thinking I'm better than everyone else," well, so be it.

We live in a sick world. We live in a world where cyber bullying can push people over the edge, even to the point of suicide. To you, these people many be nothing more than a bunch of text. To me, I know there is someone on the other end of your taunting and berating. You can laugh about sexual assault, you can make the jokes, but since all you see is text, you think that your little "rants" are more important than the people you step on? You think that blind comments like "grow thicker skin" are going to sit well with people have been sexually assaulted?

To me, if you can joke about an issue like this, then you are no better than the people committing the acts. Why? Because you are forcing people to relive these experiences. And you have NO right to mentally hold someone hostage of the fears, pain, and torture suffered from the actual event.

Grow thicker skin? How about grow a soul?

What if they implemented a new leveling system?

Example: What if CoH2 featured a new leveling system that increased the level cap to, say, level 75. However, the only way to go beyond level 50 is to participate in the new "Incarnate" system. This way, you can import a level 50 Incarnate from CoH1, then be allowed to continue leveling from 50 to 75.

Of course, a new alt in CoH2 would have to make it to level 50 before being able to access the Incarnate system. So it would be beneficial for CoH1 subscribers to continue to support NCsoft buy being able to jump right into the new game with a level 50.

Or......

What if we could import all CoH1 data from a level 50 into CoH2 and be able to start fresh, as a level 1, with a new AT. The only data that would be transferred over is things like badges, accolade powers, costume, biography, veteran status, etc.

This I am confused over. Are you talking about zones or tilesets. Because both are extremely different than "maps." As of PAX, we know of at least 4 new zones for Praetoria. That without war walls, the transitioning between zones will appear seamless, from city to city. This doesn't mean that they haven't added a ton of mission maps either.

What I remember being a discussion about what a "tileset" is, a tileset is the graphic set used to make up zones and missions. Now, if everything from GoRo on is shiny and set for Ultra Mode, then two tilesets could be all that is needed. One tile set is what makes up the look of the underground; one tileset makes up the look of the Praetorian Tech Labs. Everything in CoH is reused. Sometimes sets are duplicated and have battle-damage added; some sets are duplicated and made to look weathered.

They could add hundreds of new door missions, each using the same tileset, but wrapped over a different mission "frame." You would still have a different mission design, just that it would have similarities to others.

Example: all heroside and villainside warehouses use the same tilesets. Well, depending on the type of warehouse. Villainside is made to look darker while heroside is fresh and cleany (or is it vice-versa?) They have the same floors, walls, steel girders, steps, windows, doorways, catwalks, etc, all pulled from a tileset.
