Well if its not CoH2, then I doubt I'll be interested. I've tried enough MMOs and seen them all come and go to know the only one that has any real staying power for me is this one. And I say that openly acknowledging that I tried and dropped WoW after a month of gameplay (when Lich King was all the rage). To date, CoH is the only MMO game out of 8 I've tried that i'm still playing and I'm now going on my eighth year here.

MMOs are becoming stale because they focus too much on the IP and not the player or their personal influence on the game. CoH is still the only one that gets it right. So if they're not working on CoH2, i'm going to be highly prejudiced against trying something new.

Looks great but not a big fan of the chest zip. Unless you continue it on the pants/groin zip, I don't think it's worth having the zipper at all. Just detracts/seems redundant.

Well, if it isn't the White Wolf of Icicle Creek...

Welcome back Nancy! Er, Bill...

It's an exclusive SH title for Vita.

What about Not Yet™ ?

So that's I22 competing with a month of releases including ME3, SH: D, SH:HD, SH:BOS and RE:ORC (amongst other competitive titles coming out this month). Today would've been the day to get the most buy-in for re-activated subscriptions thanks to I22 going live. Now it's going to split the player's interest/wallet 5 different ways in competition with these other titles. Not a good idea... As it stands, it's probably best to wait and check back for I22 in April. There'll be too many other things to play with while Marketing is pumping ads into the pipeline.


And may I say I completely disagree with the comment about firing Black Pebble. That's totally inappropriate. Whatever your disappointment, a setback in release schedule is not a reason to wish someone be put out of work. I suggest you revisit your priorities in life if you think a game is more important than one person's ability to stay employed.

Shame on you guys for raising false hopes with that Facebook post last week. Saying "very soon" but not this week is even worse. Now i'm suspicious it won't be live before Double XP weekend...

Next time, just say "Soon" and reserve the "Very Soon" for if it's going live in the same week you post.

Ugh.

I used the phrase "glass ceiling" because while there are still limitations, you have to know where to look outside the game itself to find out what they are and how they'll limit your toon's effectiveness. Meanwhile, unwitting players are buying/using these improvements not realizing they'll be useless/wasted if used on the wrong toon.

Smarter, more IT proficient players know where/when to research or drill down to find the right info, but to others, there's an increasing risk of burning through market points/improvements that won't always work depending on the toon's build.

I've got a ton of boosters and AT sets I could slot on my main 50 who is already decked out with purple sets, stacked IOs and Incarnate level bumps so I think I'm sufficient but the system still lets me buy in and use boosters, AT sets, etc so I worry these will hit the glass ceiling on total effectiveness and I'll never be none the wiser.

After 7+ years on playing this game, I can't recall all the limitations put in place/rolled back anymore, but i'm still encouraged to buy improvements?! So how can I be sure what i'm buying will still be effective?

And truth be told, I build a ton of spreadsheets at work, so the last thing I want to do is number crunch more spreadsheets when I get home. This is when I wish the game was more plainspoken about what a certain build has achieved, how much more room does it have to grow, and how long before I cap out on enhancement effectiveness?

Honey, I was an English major. We're allowed to repurpose the language whenever we see fit. How else can we win at Scrabble?

Now don't question me.

That's what I was waiting to hear. If all the 24 pack gets you is a complete costume set at the very least then I'll take the risk.

We get two (if we're lucky).

I was really surprised by the majority going with option C but you just made me realize why it's going this route. Folks are going for the most neutral-looking pieces which I completely understand. I can only hope though the Devs can squeeze in the neutral version and the ventilation-style as well. I'd hate to lose out on some really great retro sci-fi concepts just because they're not generically friendly to other costume sets.

David, I gotta say I had you all wrong. For a long time I thought you were being very narrow-minded with your creative vision and style choices for various costume sets but after reading your thoughts on Penny's costume and now seeing what plentiful options you've had to conceive for the Retro Space set that may never make the final selection, I have to re-assess my understanding of how you manage this process and your level of creative flexibility and give you both my thanks and a well-deserved apology. I was *soooooooo* wrong about you. I'm sorry.

You really do a great job managing this process. Please keep up the good work - and thank you.

Bats and Superman going at it in a back room in Berlin?

Is there a female member of the Freedom Phalanx that DOESNT show skin? I'm just saying now is a good oppotunity to set a different standard for how comics envision female heroes. Or not. But they dont ALL have to show skin, do they?
