An interesting thread. After playing recently and now some F2P MMOs with this one, it is an interesting think tank pie in the sky idea if this did happen to CoX.
While I think if it was implemented properly, meaning smooth transition, advertisement, and general enthusiasm from the Dev Crew et al, it would work wonderfully bringing in new people and possible renewed revenue. Or you could slid it in quickly snubbing your player-base which paid already and losing anything they had immediately, and trying to cover up your tracks several times, and side-stepping the transition, would demise the game and servers would shut down. Of course this is just two circumstances that could happen out of a million and one issues, or breaks that come with any type of launch.
Now for some anecdotal evidence on this. Me and my friends starting playing one of Turbine's more popular MMO. My I did not want to pay for much in that game (since I was paying for my account here), and decided how far can I go with paying a cent in the game. The couple decided to pay for three months worth of gametime, and see what they could get with the earned bonus points. Finally one just bought MT anytime he wanted new stuff.
Now in he end of the day we all left due to timing issues et al. Now I am joining them on another F2P from Sony that is about scourging the seas, to see how this is different. But from the money they did get from us in just a few months, and the more people that I brought in to pay, that did buy parts of the game; a F2P model can work if the value is there.
Also the only reason why I did stop cause I was at the point where I wanted to start putting in money for the game to see other parts of it so the draw worked, but failed too since I was wanting to test/try the game itself to see how it works.
I will try and put something together if CoX was to go F2P what would I do in the implementation. -
That was epic; he should be riding the rainbow wave.

Truly epic times from Triumph of the Dr. Gemini drama.

Quote:They are equal though with the change. It is not like they added more buff power to the sets, everything else moot.Originally Posted by New Dawn
I just want all my defense sets to be equal, people with a view from one or two of them won't see where people with all of them find them unequal ingame.
As Silas said above, Pain and Emp have already big AOE buffs. Why need more? Also poison being more focused on debuffs needs a full revamp in gen. -
Quote:That is what people call elitism all the time.Originally Posted by New Dawn
No it isnt and its not down to elitism. When it comes to defenders I think they need to be experienced. Too many people give advice or have an opinion on sets they don't even play.
For me, I have no problem with the change. It is simple QoL. I have seen this talked about on the forums and in RL with people I know. I like it, since it will mean I will want to play my Dark/Fire corr again. Also since we are in the Def forum, I will pull out my Ice/Sonic will get more team play than solo play, since I do find it annoying when I am basting to forget my buffs and spend time doing that instead of other fun things.
Also since I just started a kin, and got a taste of the "SB me!" chants this is a god send. It does not detract other powersets, it does not make one "king of the world". The end is still the same it is just the time it takes to get there. -
Quote:Possibly. Storm would needed to be done in two seasons I believe. Feast can be one, cause of what was done in it.Originally Posted by MentalMaden
Well that will be 4 or 5 seasons (at least) from now. My guess is they will end the show with the books which I believe is slated to be 7 books and from the sound of it, some of the later books will likely be more than one season. So I don't really see that (breaking too far or going past the books) happening.
Also if Dance is the same depth content as Storms (not page wise), it will be split into two seasons. -
I logged in a couple nights ago and you were not on Tam. WTH!

I am waiting for her next smash hit before I join in any band-wagon.

Well what is your goal for your DM/WP? Also sometimes it is best to make your own build and bring it up so people can help you out.
DM/WP is an awesome combo, but what one person does is different from what other people do. -

Hades: King of the Underworld and god of death, the dead and the hidden wealth of the earth. Initially he was none too happy about ending up with the whole king of the dead gig but he eventually acclimated. Now spends his days holed up with his dead-head friends and his gal Persephone listening to Linkin Park albums.

Seriously. Be grateful the developers even added the ability to do a breakdown. Remember the old adage: Don't look a gift horse in the mouth!
Is it really hard to say, huh I need to get X shard by doing this Y TF.
Other games would not just lock it to you, but also no conversion period. Be grateful the devs are nice for that. -
Quote:The -res and -regen in Dark make it nice for AVs. Also the gobs of -to-hit still come nicely in the right builds.Originally Posted by StrykerX
A high recharge /Pain build could really help Demons since you get an AoE resist power you can use to quickly buff the team (a lot less annoying than Thermal). However, you need a fair bit of recharge to make World of Pain permanent... still, Demons are tougher than average even without buffs and healing works best with tough pets. Thugs are probably the best choice since they have a great target for Painbringer and enough defense to keep them alive long enough to heal them, but Demons aren't a bad choice either. (On Demons / Pain I'd use Painbringer on the Hellfire Gargoyle since he's pretty much all offense.)
I do consider Demons/Dark a bit better for most purposes though. You can effectively "softcap" your pets by flooring the enemy's to-hit and Tar Patch is great for speeding up fights. However, against AVs /Pain is probably better because to-hit debuffs do very little against those while resists and heals still work fine. -

Man I wish I was not working nights. If somehow it does not work out for you Batz (I hope not) I will try and make it for another time.
Although I will be looking for the Khan and this very soon! -
Well I know where I will be on May 6th.

I got a Fire/Earth and it is a nasty combo. I originally started with the Fire APP, and it was ok, but went with ice cause of the defense and Sleet. You make orange all over the place.

Hmmm I think they will kill off Ultimate Spider man.

Quote:SourceOriginally Posted by ComicBookResourceIt looks as though Shane Black has Iron Man in his sights. Deadline is reporting that the veteran action movie writer turned director is in final negotiations with Marvel Studios to direct "Iron Man 3." This comes on the heels of rumors last month to that effect, though it remains unknown if the "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" director will write the script for the second Armored Avenger sequel or not.
The director's chair on the "Iron Man" series has been vacant since Jon Favreau walked away from the job late last year. At the time, Favreau said via Twitter, "I've had a great run with Marvel and wish them the best." He chose to direct Disney's "Magic Kingdom" instead.
Black started his screenwriting career with "The Monster Squad" and "Lethal Weapon." His other screenwriting credits include "The Long Kiss Goodnight," a screenplay credit on "The Last Action Hero" and his directorial debut in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" which helped resteablish Robert Downey Jr. as a leading man.
Should Black sign on to direct "Iron Man 3," it will not be the only comic book related film on his slate. Recently, he signed on to adapt the manga series "Death Note" for Warner Bros. and is also attached to Sony's "Doc Savage," based on the pulp and comic book character.
With Downey getting reportedly getting approval of his next Iron Man director, Black is a likely favorite for at least one member of the franchise's team. For now, all that's left for fandom to do is wait the official confirmation.
For more on "Iron Man 3" stay tuned to CBR and Spinoff Online.
Well this can be really good if they pick him up I say. I love the chemistry of RDJ and Shane in Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang. Also with the others movies he did that I love, I see some good promise for Iron Man 3.
