Free is always good but are we getting anything to give the game life, i now have one of every AT at 50 plus many more at 50 of the same AT with different powers i have done EVERY mission on both coh and cov more than once infact loads more than once so waht more is there to gain from starting at lvl 1 again, so for me there is little left to do. A paid for update like WoW gets would imo be worth it if we got the same kind of NEW content that they do

I find this slightly odd given the earlier post about the mission creator meaning absolutely nothing to you...

I'm looking forward to the mission creator:

* not because I'm a RP'er (I'm not - it doesn't compare to pen and paper RP'ing imo)

* not because I think I'll be a mission-writer extraordinaire... Whilst it'd be nice for NCNC to hire me as a mission creator soon after architect launches it is much more likely that I'll play with it but suck at mission writing!

* But because some people out there will be good at writing missions. Some will be brilliant. And they'll be creating new arcs and content just for me to play!

Ok -

It's not quite the same as a new zone.

It's not the same as a new enemy group (though who knows.. it's possible that the mob customisation may allow group creation.. eventually)

It's not the same as a new powerset, new AT, new moon on monday, gary numan, etc

But it has the potential to be so much more than a whole yearsworth of official missions and arcs.

Anyone who's claiming (complaining almost?) that they've done all the missions ought to show some optimistic happiness at the potential the architect will bring... we just have to hope that at least some of the potential is realised and that the players aren't all relying on my riting skilz.

Oh - and in case we forget, past issues have often been touted (early on) as single-issue issues (e.g. I9 - Inventions) but then have had a few 'small' bits (e.g. STF) that weren't initially mentioned that were well met by the playerbase. There's still more to come for I14...

How is making your own missions from a pot of stuff that is already in use in game new content?
I dont wqant to waste my game time making missions i would if i could make them how i want that being a flat map stocked full of lvl 53 freaks so i could PL new pvp toons, but seeing as you cant do that im not going to waste my time with it.

I want my game that i pay other people to update for me to do what i pay them to do, i dont want to to again waste the time i do have to play thinking up new ways to use already dull mobs and maps to get my new lvl 1 toon to 50 again, in the end its the same rubbish. Other player made missions will still again be the SAME mobs the same maps, i guess what im saying is and i know its been said loads of times before WE NEED more content for lvl 50s

Why do people always start ranting without properly reading all the information? (No, you don't need to answer that.)

PvE and PvP Powers Rebalancing: Floyd “Castle” Grubb and the powers designers have been hard at work in finding ways to strike a better balance between the many powers in the game. The scope of what they are doing is too broad to go into details here, but we’re very excited and we’ll share more information soon. Suffice to say we know that you don’t want your PvE powers adjusted because of how they play in PvP, so we’re taking a new tact in power balancing with Issue 13.

But not changing pve powers is one thing but changing them for pvp will still make people think nerf, as what the devs think is "balance" is sometimes far from what the players think.

The problem i have with this system is i cant start a lvl pact with my 50 and a new toon, as to me it would seem you have to make TWO new toons to start a pact and thats just not PL, shame to as it would have made my life a wee bit better if i didnt have to have the toon on i was PL-ing ah well maybe next update

Multiple Builds
Another character customisation option and City of Heroes innovation, Issue 13 delivers the ability to have two different build-outs for each character, including which powers are selected and which Enhancements are slotted. With this feature it will now be possible for all characters to diversify their game experience by visiting any Trainer and switching the entire build of their character to an alternate one. You can use this separate build for whatever you like: if you wish to use different power selections for soloing and groups, you can do that. This even makes it possible to have different sets slotted for PVP and PVE. This new system gives characters the added depth and flexibility to tackle any challenge!

[/ QUOTE ]
This Intrigues me....Yet it does not comprehend, does this mean on Character A already has Fire/Rad but can also choose another powerset for example Earth/storm? :???:

[/ QUOTE ]

They have not said you can have a new powerset, it means you can have two builds for your toon as is.

Then i would have to ask where is the prof that player feedback has forced this change as in the past player feedback has NOT change the outcome of updates or changes made by the devs.

I also have faild to see the so called amount of player "love" for this feature that has been been claimed, anyway like i said some like it some dont as for me i dont and i just hope that issue 14 has more in it than just this .

[ QUOTE ]
It's slipping because the devs realised that the players love this idea and want to get it in by launch... and no doubt a few other smaller improvements will make it in.

[/ QUOTE ]

Have to say here NOT all players love this idea, im thinking more of the RP lot like it more as tbh i could careless about it, and making a whole issue for it to me is abit much

PvE and PvP Powers Rebalancing
More details to come shortly, directly from Powers Designer Floyd “Castle” Grubb.

[/ QUOTE ]

Dont like the sound of this, tbh to me it sounds like yet more nerfs to powers, as for the rest of I13 im not to botherd tbh nothing there that sets my world on fire

Any more rikti raids of any kind would be a waste of time, they have been flogging that dead horse for sometime we need someting fresh.

Its what it would have been if some people had not cheated with there team make up.... wonder who that was again

Cya

Bit of an attack on the whole country there,

Well just left PD after an evening of good pvp, thanks for arranging this was a good night cya all next week

Unless, of course, that you just have to have the mondo-ultimate build every 5 levels, which just isn't necessary in this game

[/ QUOTE ]

No but it does help when your lvl 50 and want to pvp with the best toon you can make,

[ QUOTE ]
I never have

[/ QUOTE ]

You only got one toon so not much point

Just a thought if rockjaw and bridger are going whats going to happen to there toons?

I mean will there names be up for grabs and if not Rockjaw, bridger can i have your stuff

(a brighter note )

Yep all the time why make things hard for yourself when making your 17th lvl 50

Also i forgot to say having two accounts makes this very easy to do

Dear god has someone died this thread is getting very doom and gloom, yes jobs have gone its not nice but lighten the mood guys its turning into a wake

Thought i would add this, things cant be that bad in brighton if they still want people for jobs maybe rockjaw and that could apply for a transfer http://eu.plaync.com/eu/jobs/

The way some of these post go you would think someone had kicked the bucket, the fact is some have lost jobs yes its not nice BUT at this time in most of the weastern world loads of people are loosing there jobs due to factors beyond there control, maybe instead of the down hearted posting thats going maybe everyone should just wait and see what happens and if its the worse then those people who have meet the EU team could remeber the good things they have done for them and what a loss they will be to there game.

The community on here and at events does include the red names yes but the community in game has little to do with them, its bad for anyone to loose ther job but there must be a reason behind all this maybe the world wide credit crunch cost cutting in the long run maybe the way the company has to go to save its products.
