Quote:They'd also need to make a Star Wars game first.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
"We think that a franchise such as Star Wars has the potential to attract 30 million or more monthly active users (MAUs), suggesting that the free-to-play version of the game has the potential to generate $120 —150 million in annual revenues. …"
You know, for anyone not familiar with 'the biz', this would sound like the most moronic statement ever made, often satirized by the 'dumb salesman' who says that they'll give their product away for free and they'll make their profit through 'volume.'
And anyone writing articles in 'the biz' and doesn't use the term 'microtransactions' maybe *is* that proverbial dumb salesman. -
I like that hover pose.

you know, id say coh is less a "red headed stepchild" and more a product that found a small to moderate sized evolutionary niche and filled the @#$% out of it. as my old buddy jack E. said, the long term fans of coh will not leave no matter what you do to them. Heh, maybe we can call coh the duck-billed platypus of the mmo market, unusual, but filling its niche.
Then I don't think you can really trust what he saysQuote:"Champions Online is going to be better than City of Heroes in every way, shape, and form. It's sad, but it's evolution."

Any developer that now launches a sub-only MMO is insane.

Anyone known to have fought Praetoria in the war would also be known as an Incarnate, as the Well-powered debuff that Tyrant used to cripple all non-Incarnates during the loyalist invasion would be big news.
The general public mightn't have known all the details about Incarnates and the Well, but just from following the news, blogs, chatrooms and so on, they'd know that the loyalist AVs that had previously been defeated during the rescue of Statesman were now much stronger because of a power source that Tyrant had access to, and that the heroes of Primal Earth were using a similar power source to combat them. -
On an amusing side note, since December, when EA launced their smash hit galactic fanfiction MMO, Paragon Studios has actually put out more content for CoH than Bioware has managed for the TORtanic.

In as much as you continue to be incapable of contributing anything of value to any conversation, I would prefer that you add me to your ignore list, or at the very least provide me the courtesy of not stalking my posts just to respond dismissively. Thank you.

Quote:You could always gather around his contact model and hold a partyOriginally Posted by Eisenzahn
Looks like the Virtue invasion got rescheduled? I guess nobody wanted to come in and run it on a weekend. The Captain Mako Appreciation Society and Scrapbooking Club, a five year old Virtue Villain Group, is going to have to cancel its scheduled party since our server event got moved from the 18th to a day none of us can attend.

As part of an outreach program, City of Heroes arranges a video conference with the Champions Online player.

Another option would be to retcon him into just a Dual Blades build.
As he's only ever appeared in a Korean launch trailer and one comic, the chances of a major fan outcry over dropping his pistol powers are close to zero
To keep him unique, he could use Battle Maiden's flying sword attacks too, which would make him this kind of uber swordmaster who was so badass that he could fight with more than 2 swords at a time. -
Or, any storyline with them can have him in a non-combat role.

Quote:Positron should also delegate his research now that he's leading the Phalanx, and found Keyes Labs/Keyes Tech/Keyes Research as a science and tech themed mission hub in Steel Canyon, as a kind of balance to the more magic/natural themed mission hub we've already got at the university/Midnighter Club.Originally Posted by Zortel
Steel Canyon needs big glass and steel walkways looming overhead, running between the buildings and around them like arteries. Neon signs and monolithic LCD displays beaming hot, delicious advertising and brand appeal up the towering skyscrapers. A sandwich, the lower slice of bread darkened and beset by clumps of mould and decay growing in the darkness, out of sight of law and order, a middle section full of bright lights showing the products and services you want to own and welcoming doorways beckoning in shoppers to spend their hard earned dollars, topped by an almost ethereal layer of bread where the rich dine and sup expensive coffee, and return to their penthouse suites with the occasional descent down to 'nature', parks in the surrounding area of the canyon which lack the chaos of nature for an almost plastic dream of strictly ordered and committee approved 'scenic beauty'.
Sky Raiders make their mark early, swooping low to break into high tech facilities lower areas or soaring high to plague the lockboxes and safes of the city-living wealthy. In the dark below the elemental powers of the Outcasts crackled, unbridled and raw.
Or something like that.
A white concrete, steel and glass building in a landscaped area would by good, with a similar function to the AE buildings, allowing players to go inside but still see the rest of the zone through the windows. -
Quote:I think it all depends on what sound is being added to what part.Originally Posted by Clockwork O1
History suggests that the player population would be divided on this issue.
For example, adding beeping noises to the Retro Sci-Fi chest control box woulld please some people, but also displease others, who might like to imagine that whatever function the control box had was silent.
But for something like a huge chainsaw weapon, I'm pretty sure that you're way more likely to get requests for a chainsaw sound attached to it than requests to have a silent chainsaw if it came with sound attached. -
Street sweeping against blues and greens is also an option, although at your high level the XP rate will be quite slow.
-
The code for bases is extremely old, extremely fragile, and extremely messy - the chances of any major new additons or changes to the base system are pretty close to zero.
Basically, the devs can either leave bases as they are, scrap the entire system and rebuild it from the ground up, or add a new system of customizable personal player housing as a separate system from bases.
The personal player housing option would give them the biggest return on their investment, as while the basic types of housing would very likely be free for VIPs, the accessories would be purchasable on the market. -
