People say this about every MMO, PK.
You should have heard the screaming in LOTRO when freakin' quest arrows were added. Veterans were incensed that you would no longer need to read the NPC quest chat to figure out where the boars that you need to slaughter are. It was the beginnging of Easy Mode!
The fact is that CoX has always been an easy game, so it getting easier (more convenient, really) shouldn't be an issue for someone who enjoys the core gameplay. -

If GR has a City's worth of content as I expect, then naturally there would be new low level contacts. Of course they could be "neutral" contacts for characters who start in Praetoria, but if all ATs are available to us there it would be tantamount to new villain contacts.

Quote:While we could certainly use more specifics, what they've announced seems pretty close to CoV. We will be getting a whole new city's worth of content in Praetoria... how is that not enough to keep existing players? Would we need to have twice the content CoH had at launch to justify an expansion? Three times?Originally Posted by Toony
In my eyes it's just gonna need alot more than whats announced to justify an expansion. The hardcore crowd will buy it no doubt. But I have a feeling GR is aimed more toward introducing/getting back players. Not retaining the players who would never leave in the first place. For that, it's gonna need abit more.

Lol, BAB tweeted about my article on MMOsite (here) about why CoH should be worried about CO. It appears he missed the previous article on why I think CoH will hold its own just fine though (linked in my signature).
EDIT: Scooped, apparently.Quote:http://tinyurl.com/n6n5za Found myself disagreeing on ideas more than agreeing. But Appreciate vote of confidence. Look forward to followup12:40 PM Jul 30th from web

As far as I know it's Victory until further notice.

I'm seeing a lot more Tweets than Dev Posts here on the forums, but when the tracker is broken it's hard to tell.

After all that, it really has GOT to hurt to say: we could do it all along, we just thought it was too damn much work.

Great article... and now we know how long it took: 15 months or so.

I'll take responsibility for this, everyone; I tried to global friend Voo last night and I think he snapped. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

I'm trying to create a Social Group for Isos (Voo's idea), but no one is accepting my invites!

Quote:What I meant was the actual zone with the lvl 40 - 50 contacts in it. The scheme for enhancing our lvl 50s could be completely independent of any actual lvl 50 content.Originally Posted by bAss_ackwards
Make your level 50s stronger than ever before with Going Rogue! *
* level 40 to 50 content to arrive in a future patch.
Thinking about it now, though, it does seem unlikely that they will delay this content to a following issue. After all, GR won't be coming out with 5 new ATs like CoV (and the many new sets required for them), so they definitely have development time to create a new 1-50 City's worth of content. -
Quote:The last expansion was CoV; it launched with 6 zones, not counting the PvP zones. I would expect GR to have a commensurate level of content. They may even pull the old trick where GR only launches with 1-40 content, and they add the 40-50 zone in the next issue. I hope they don't do that, but it's possible.Originally Posted by Golden_Girl_EU
Is there any info to back that up, or is it just a hunch?
I know that they first said "new zones" - which could mean as few as 2 - but then they mentioned "several enw zones" - and several is more than just 2 - but I've not seen any hint that there'll be as many as CoV - although that could be possible if they're looking to make the Neutral/Mercenary idea into a proper 3rd faction. -
Double XP is probably still going on, but here's my final tally for the weekend:
Crab VEAT 35 -> 50 (On the back of DC's RWZ train and some G'ville PUGing)
TA/arch Defender 35 -> 36
SS/EA Brute 22 -> 23
Ill/Kin 'troller 21 -> 23 -
Quote:Replace "a few zones" with "as many zones as CoV launched with".Originally Posted by Toony
I'm still waiting for more info. It's gonna take abit more than a few zones, two powersets, and side switching to justify buying a boxed expansion.

BaBs did mention on Twitter he was testing out the animation for Whips, and he was hoping to use them for the Pet Upgrade enhacenment: "Fight harder!" :crack:

I had to reinstall as well.

Gonna disagree with this. Many other gaming forums seem capable of handling img tagging. In general terms, CoH forum users are more mature.

In addition to posting graphics, we can have graphical sigs as well. It's been a while, but I need to work something up... assuming image posting stays enabled.

I'm a little surprised to see all the complaining over this.
Obviously it's an attempt by Paragon to minimize attrition due to CO; they would be stupid to not try something like this. As to the question of whether this is enough inducement to do that, I'm not sure, but it's a little beside the point, because this is also a program to reward customer loyalty, which includes people who have been here a long time (the 60 monthers getting first tier closed Beta access).
I've already pre-ordered CO, but I'm also subscribed to CoX through mid-2010. CO will have to be something very special to make me ditch this game, and from early reports I highly doubt that it is. Still, I want to try it to see what Cryptic has come up with. -
I can see the triangles now!

Kong... you've doomed us all to Meatspin hell! And where are my damn emoticons?!
