You say that like it is a good thing. There is a sizable fraction of the playerbase that disagrees.
It's the largest and most complex storyline in the game, and CoH would be worse off without it.Quote:I, personally, am in the fraction of the playerbase that is happy to just never hear about Praetoria ever again. However well written it was, overall, it was a horrible story.
But there's alrewasy a lot of 1.-50 content, so the 50+ part of the game needs to be increased more.Quote:And given that the bulk of the game is 1-50 activity, one might expect that the bulk of the development would be for that range. -
Quote:The only official things they've said about it is that it's a "next gen MMO", an "exciting new game", and an "exciting new IP" - they're also still establishing the art style of the game, and they've been slowly ramping up the size of its dev team for a while now.Originally Posted by 2short2care
So any chance of giving us hints of what this other project it??? *makes sad but cute puppy or if you don't like puppies then kitty face* *offers brownies, cookies, cake and pie*

Virtue has always been my home server.
Over the past few weeks, with the small amount of weekend play I put in (usually in the midnight hours, EDT), I've managed to get a character from 50 to 50 +3 largely by sitting in the queue while street sweeping or doing DA missions. I was expecting it to take (me) far longer given previous experiences with a different character, but the activity seems (to me) to have increased of late. -
The 3 power sets mentioned will be out roughly within the next 6 months or so - Retro Sci-Fi is coming out in June, and the summer event is starting after I23.

You mean wildstar?
Paragon Studios is currently working on a "next gen MMO" with a "brand new IP" - and it's all very secret right now

Black Scorpion is about as close as it comes, however he's working on another project now.

Quote:So you mean that their current premium/freebie set up encouraged you to go VIP?Originally Posted by PoisonHeart
i agree also about freedom not really being free, if the devs. could at least allow IOs to be used by everyone or at least premiums then that would really make it work, i tried going premium for a while but in less then a week i hated it, only able to use 2 characters and all my IOs were grey out, it was a terrible experiance and there needs to be more freedom for freedom/premium players

Quote:You still get everything you used to get for 15 bucks month - only now, instead of the costume booster packs, they now sell the parts separately, so you don't have to buy a whole pack if there's just one bit you want from it, unlike the pre-Freedom model.Originally Posted by Phoenix_Wrath
I really wasn't too sure about all the bureaucracy involved with Freedom and the strangeness of having to buy bits and pieces of a game one step at a time instead of getting a whole, complete, enjoyable game for the comfortable price of $15 a month.
IOs are free with the monthly sub - if you don't want to pay, or aren't able to pay, then you can get an IO license for just 2 dollars a month - just like with the the separate costume parts vs booster packs thing, CoH Freedom gives the players a lot more flexibility with how they spend their money.Quote:Then I realized I need to spend a few bucks to even utilize all the invention enhancements I had equipped.
What you get for free is roughly the launch version of the game, plus a lot of the QoL features form the past 8 years - the free experience gives you more than the $15 per month 2004 experience.Quote:perhaps there could be more items that are just available to free accounts, so it doesn't feel so restricted.
Shortchanged when you're not spending a cent?Quote:I just feel restricted and shortchanged.
Teschnically, you can't actually leave now - you're a premium player for as long as the game lastsQuote:Goodbye all!

There's no such thing as "wrong" or "bad" powers, so I've never kicked anyone from a team for having them.

Quote:The PPD aren't a real world police force - they're a police force in a sci-fi fascist dictatorship that is presented as using torture in a regular basis - there are badges marking torture rooms under all the PPD Precincts, PPD zone mobs have text referring to their use of torture - for example, there are mentions of various "levels" of "interrogation" that they use, and that the BAF seems quiet on the surface, but all the "fun" happens downstairs, and so on - and Cleo's arc even includes a little scene when you're bugging a PPD office of the a couple of PPD officers beating up a Resistance fighter in an interrogation room, while the other PPD just stand around chatting, just to highlight the connection with Washington's job title.Originally Posted by Reppu
I will at least comment on this;
Does that mean all official police interrogators in the real world, simply torture people and are evil villains?
That's a shot to the foot of your claim, GG. Unless you'll honestly claim that, then I'd love for you to meet a real-world interrogator, and stop generalizing.
The bio of PPD Interrogators says:
And Washington's own bio says:Quote:"The flash of a silver trenchcoat that accompanies the arrival of a PPD Investigator is enough to send a thrill of fear down the spine of any resident of Praetoria. If an Investigator has arrived at your door then you should already be planning your full-throated confession."
So Interrogators apparently cause fear in everyone in Paretoria for some reason, and Washington doesn't just carry out "unmonitored questioning" - he actually enjoys it as the best part of his job - which is probably how he got the job of Chief Interrogator, as he seems to share the sadistic personality of Praetor Sinclair.Quote:"The Chief Interrogator works directly for Praetor Sinclair as the liaison between the Ministry of Intelligence and the PPD. Washington has the mind of a jackal in the body of a gorilla, and enjoys nothing more than ferreting out those who are not loyal to Emperor Cole and bringing them in for an unmonitored round of questioning. -

Quote:I think that there might be 1 or 2 Trials as part of the Coming StormOriginally Posted by Frost Warden
I agree with this. If Praetorian Hami is a zone event, or in a task force, great. I'm sick of trials, and I really only run them for badges. If I never saw a new trial, I'd be okay with it.
That's because TFs had a head start of several years - they need to build up the Trial selection to match the TF selection, and then pass it.Quote:Of course, trials have been heavily weighted compared to task forces since the Incarnate system was released. Since then, only 1 TF (Sutter) and 1 SF (Kal) have been released, compared to the 2 pre-50 trials and 7 Incarnate trials. Yes, the Penelope Yin TF is coming in I23, but so is another Incarnate trial. It'd be nice to see more TFs/SFs coming out as well.
Plus, TFs are like an extra for the standard 1-50 mission content - but the Trials are the standard 50+ content. -
Because they're not Scrappers.
