None. They are all unoriginal and I rather pick the ones they are copied from.

I don't mind. The whole AE thing never makes sense. Heroes and Villains stop what they are doing to go play a video game. This is like a real life version of World of World of Warcraft. We make our heroes and villains in a game so we can play a game as them.

Also, if you are good at pvp, then you should be able to recognize the power emblems under your health and endurance.

Yeppers!

Was not interested in CO in the first place, but this assures I will not even glance at a trial. why bother setting up shop for five years in another game to get where I am now? Always was of a mind that this game would hold its own, but now am sure it will hold everyone else to a higher standard as well. You raised the bar years ago, and now you just chucked that sucker straight into orbit...

Good luck Jack. I hope you are proud to see how your baby has become a man.

[/ QUOTE ]His actual kid?

I love this thread. "The devs listen to us, so NCsoft, don't use the money for anything else. We have control over you!"

Like anyone from the actual NCsoft company that calls the shots visits any of their games' forums. I doubt the devs visit that much either. Like an auto-dialer that only posts stupid responses and speculation.

I don't like any other music besides the Atlas Plaza song. It doesn't feel heroic/villainous. There is a porno commercial that uses the Blyde Square song in the early mornings on Comedy Central.

that's very sweet. I agree in spirit and I'm seckritly hoping all the folks that decided to leave recently will come back. and if we must have shame, there'll be plenty the morning after the "thunderbird and cheap hotel room" going away party we have planned for Scimi to close out his norcal trip

[/ QUOTE ]The whole "believe in the game, guys!" explanation is BS. I can believe my [censored] is made of ice cream, but that don't make me a hot fudge sundae. If the game get's better I'll stay, if it stays the way it is, I'm moving to greener pastures.

CoX and Champs title characters are exactly the same and boring.

Here's a few that might help.

Power Armor

Atomic Tights

[/ QUOTE ]I'm really liking that power armor, but sadly I do not have the justice armor.

That wasn't a typo. Help me or else!

Hello great artists of the CoH/V boards. I come seeking help with a costume. I have recently started playing a fire/fire scrapper, whose theme is atomic costumes and things. My first costume is a simple tights and radioactive symbols and things while the second is a lab coat with goggles and a costume underneath. I've been fiddling with idea of a armored suit like Iron Man or containment suit like Positron, yet to no avail. I besiege you. Please help me with this conundrum.

Cyclops, Jubilee, and the rest have Willpower. Use that.

Im pretty sure PC is coming in Going Rogue

Im also pretty sure Going Rogue will be out around 1st September 2009, perhaps a little laster but certainly in beta by then.

Why that date? Its the CO release date. NCSoft will be very smart business people if they unveil an expansion that has most of the stuff CO has been marketing as unique to them (PC for example)

That's my business mind speaking, not my fan boi mind.

[/ QUOTE ]whe nhas NCsoft ever been business smart? They just release it when it's done. Also, I think this whole competition thing is in our heads a bit. Also also, we haven't even seen one screen of actual game yet of GR.

Civil War was a terrible story and i don't want any part of it.

Now that the technology is in place, Issue 15 is our first opportunity to provide a number of more universally themed costume change emotes as part of a regular content update for all of our players. It's our goal that everyone, even those who didn't purchase the Magic Super Booster Pack, will benefit from the extra time and resources that we've devoted to creating these booster packs.

[/ QUOTE ]

And..............the final stake through the heart of B_I's paranoid fantasies about booster packs stealing all the good stuff from everybody else.

[/ QUOTE ]You're right, you won't have to buy a booster pack. You'll have to buy an expansion that will likely be 4 to 5 times more expensive.

[/ QUOTE ]
Did you miss the announcement of issue 15 having more costume change emotes than the booster pack and new costume pieces and sounds and all of that, oh and all for your normal monthly subscription fee?

[/ QUOTE ]To be fair (i can't believe I'm saying this in response to B_I) The new emotes are lacking, the new costumes are lacking, and what sounds?

Keep your hopes down Boys and Girls...

If they do make Power Customization a reality, you'll be happier.

If they dont make Power Customization a reality, you wont be as disappointed...

[/ QUOTE ]
Ignoring it at this point makes no sense to me.
They've all but come out and told us it's going to happen, including the none too subtle hint in the GR trailer of that gal's fireball changing from red to blue.

Occam's Razor is on the side of customization.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree. They've been dropping pretty massive hints. I'm just wondering how they're gonna pull it off.

[/ QUOTE ]I think the ball color change was to show alignment change. I would be surprised to see this game out this year at all or even beginning of next year.

I doubt Going Rogue is coming out this year. Almost half the year is over and we haven't gotten more than a teaser and a vary small amount of info that tells us what is going to be in it.

The problem is we don't have enough of a good faith in the writing team to believe they have the ability to conclude a plot at all, let alone conclude one well. It's especially frustrating since they have an amazing tool to do something relatively unprecedented in story-driven MMOs.

[/ QUOTE ]With the recent unclosed story arcs and the new tf/sf in i15, I don't have any faith in any of the writers to even pump out a half-good and finished storyline. I also think the new direction for storyline-driven content is absurd. It's just wall of texts to distract you from the next mission. All the story info I get is from the sight. If they want this to be a story driven game, they need to find a better way to deliver it.

[/ QUOTE ]Well, it's okay to use slabs of text - I'm fine with that, because it means the story is unobtrusive to those people who don't really care. I've seen a lot of people frustrated by cut scenes because they interrupt combat flow. On the other hand, for those of us who do read the text there's this feeling of Why Bother.

[/ QUOTE ]And I agree with you, but there mindset is to deliver story arcs, then us people who just want to play and have fun are being left out a bit. I'll take new zones, powers, costumes, and gameplay mechanics over stories in this game any day.

Yeah, I found it a while back. If they somehow deliver on all that (unlikely, but optimistic), I would buy it in a heart beat.

From all other indications, this power force seems to be the Battalion which has a mention in game. And from Statesman talking about which came to be the Inventions system, the Battalion were going to be a powerful faction. The player would need invention in order to successfully fight them.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you read the survey about the Going Rogue expansion pack, it mentions 10 new Univeral Enhancement Slots that "would bring the player to a theoretical level 60" once they earned them all as well as a mysterious alien space station appearing above earth for players to explore and earn these enhancements.

If we assume the space station wasn't scrapped in favour of Praetoria and it and the enhacement slots could be coming AFTER the expansion or even as part of it, the enhancers may be the new powerful edge we'll need to fight the Battalion, and the space station a harbringer of them, assuming they haven't scrapped the ideas.


.

[/ QUOTE ]Hmmmm, do you have the survey somewhere? I don't know where to find it. I would like to see it. We should base our speculation on it instead of half-baked ideas from years ago.

its hard to write any piece of good [censored] when you have a Margarita on 1 hand, and a nice babe on the other. the content has been handled to us, but not the pool.

[/ QUOTE ]...What? I don't think CoX is a kind of babe-magnet/get rich quick business. And if they're so rich, why don't they hire professional writers? I'd love to run a Brubaker arc, or an Alan Moore arc where my hero is a heroin-addicted jazz critic whose not super powered.

CoH doesn't show up cause NCsoft "pulled out" (kicked out) due to them having some weird fire show a couple years back when E3 became less about games and more about stupid entertainment. Also, CoH is small fry compared to all the stuff they show at E3.

I wish this thread didn't exist.

You spelled Keyser Söze wrong. I can no longer trust you.
