What bugs me is i just dont see the point in these doom threads. if you hate the game so much why play it? if you dont hate it but feel its lacking somthing why not post a suggestion?
But why o why post the drivel that gets posted -
Hmmmm i'm not sure if people are missing my point so let me clarify i DONT think weapons = fantasy. and I'm perfectly aware that even if they did it wouldn't matter as the comic book source material this game draws from encapsulates fantasy.
What i want to know is why when they added dual blades and shields there was a mass outcry of there's to much fantasy based stuff in this game what drives those who think this to draw this conclusion?
As a side note CoH has 74 power sets of which 18 are weapon based (that's counting traps, devices and AR) so less than a third of the coh power sets actually use weapons. -
Personally i would have preferred if they had went for a method similar to the vanguard Merits but with a lower drop rate. a bonus could still be given for completing TFs and taking down GMs
That way regardless of how you play you would still be able to collect merits. -
Dose seem a bit daft would make much more sense if for each chunk of allotted time you were logged of at the Auction house you were awarded 1 teleportation to a auction house.

Would direct X 10 not require them to make the entire game be vista compatable?
-
I don't think any one knows what its capable of its not like the unreal engine which has been taken to bits and put together more times than is probably health. City of heroes/Villains is the only game to date that's been released that uses it AFK.
Tho I'm sure i read some where that CO was going to be using a modified version of the same engine modified how i have no idea but if that is the case there's a good chance that anything CO can do can be done in CoH its just mater of knowing how. -
I hoping at the very least the factions all get a Rikti style make over with new textures and what not.
They could also jazz up the city zones make them seem a little more alive. -
That i am.
I'll try entering it on my active account when i get home and see if it works with that -

Or maybe it's because potential players looking for more information on CoX come to the forums and see DOOM! posts like the OPs and think, "This game is failing I'll go to WoW instead."
Bravo The_Phantoms! You're making things worse!

Don't forget they also see the "I'm of to the American servers because they have more people there" and so probably think to them selves "why should i join the EU when the US servers are better" and so do join the game but not on the EU servers -
A on going theme on these boards seems to be that any weapon set added to the game is a indication that the Devs are attempting to drag in the WoW (fantasy) crowd.
My question is why do people believe this? (please consider my following points)
This game is based around comic books (not sci fi as some seem to think) comic books cover a wide and varied assortment of subjects and very often intermingle science fiction and fantasy.
and while the power using members of the main line comic book worlds (DC, Marvel etc) probably out number the weapon users there are still a good number of heroes and villains that wield weapons individuals like Captain America, Thor, Green Arrow, Swordsman, Black Knight, Colleen Wing, Dead pool, and any ninja based character you want to name.
There's also the background of city of heroes its self to consider it draws pretty heavily on Greek mythology as well as dipping into the Arthurian legends (Hero 1) Irish legends (Croatoa) so its not a great leap to imagine that there's one or 2 enchanted blades lying around just waiting for a wood be hero to stumble across them.
Also there's the question of magic if the claim that adding new weapons is pandering to the WoW crowd what about other powers surly a energy blast is just another way of saying magical blast? weather control, encasing a target in ice, surrounding a target in a ring of fire, causing fire to rain from the skies and lets not forget the ye old faithful fire ball these could all be considered magical attacks and i bet at least some of them appear in WoW and other fantasy based games so should the devs stop introducing these powers as well?
So again my question why do people believe weapon set = Fantasy?
*edit*
fixing really stupid spelling mistake -

Traveling longer then actualy doing a mission is basicly retarted

Only a problem up to about lvl 5 where you can go of and get your raptor pack and then Zip from mission to mission and considering it only takes at most a hour to get to lvl 5 its hardly the majority of the game. -
Weirdly I've been going back to old toons that i had left behind and giving them a go again largely because of the patrol XP my red/rad defender has for instance languished at 29 at least a year probably longer but i got him to 30 last night and i want to continue playing him now which means reactivating the account he's on (dam you NCsoft dam you)
How long this urge to play him will last I'm not sure but the great thing is when i do loose interest and drift to another alt ill have a little XP boost waiting for me when i come back to him. -
Hmmmm your clearly suffering from some form of delusion its a well known fact that no one plays on defiant at 2 in the morning
-
Thanks for the code GR now I'm sure I'm just being thick. But how do you apply the code i assumed you just added it as a upgrade but every time i try i get "Invalid Serial Code" am i sticking it in the wrong bit or could it be because the account i want to apply it to is currently Inactive?

Out of curiosity what 4 are staminaless and were they allwats staminaless or did you remove stamina at a later point?
Its all very well saying my build X is staminaless but what is that build a staminaless regen or willpower is a lot less inpressive than a staminaless Darka or stone armour.
Also just taking a look at that build liz and i think you make my point very well when you say "I guess if you really want you can make this work. You will have to go with a little less high damage output and a little less ressistance ofcourse. "
Why should dark be at a disadvantage strait out the bag? Its not really any better than any of the other armours yet its hamstrung by high endurance costs the same go's for stone. Now i realize that this partially dates back to when there powers were largly non stacking but there endurance usage should be brought into line with the other armours or they should be buffed to the point where they deserve the higher endurance costs. -
Not sure if that was a quick reply or not Steel but if it was in reply to my message i never suggested there should be any form of slider added i was simply pointing out that a "fat character can be achieved by using costume pieces
Tho now you mention it a greater range to the sliders would be nice -
Hiya Chat nice to see you back.
You've as much chance of seeing a "fat" model in the game as you have of seeing a "bestial" model in game (probably less actually) as it would require at least 2 new models a male and a female one which would require a boat load of costume pieces to be reworked it would also mean that every new costume piece put into the game would require more work as it would need 5 versions instead of the current 3
A far better option would be some "fat" costume pieces its already been pointed out that its possible to achieve a fairly podgy toon using the baggy clothing options so it should be possible to achieve a "fat" effect using costume parts.
Another option would be for them to create a new female huge model (which to be honest should always have existed i recon) in the same vain as the male huge model. -
I've put mine down to a toggle not switching of properly as after playing about with the toon for a good bit last night every so often i would have "end use" showing in the combat attributes but wouldn't have anything running. Zoning or switching my toggles on then off seemed to clear it so its possible more to do with how iffy my connection is this weather.
-
Well the filters should catch racial, sexual etc language used (i would hope the in game player created NPC stuff would be subject to the Language filters)
Course there not perfect. -
Yup one less thing to do in the 35 to 45 section of the game
-
I've had somthing similarnot all that long ago found my self feeling disconected from stuff. I found that a short brake and takeing up some old hobies helped a lot tho.
Hope you find somthing that helps as well -

I cant remember where the debate (challenge) in the UK ended with regards to the ratings on games (should they be part of film regulation or stay self regulated), but I was certainly of the opinion that the ratings should be official as I dont trust the game companies to fairly rate their products in all instances.
(Having said that the ratings on some films have obviously been changed for commercial reasons, so, as ever, the word independence is loosely applied.)
On the more specific subject of CoX Ive not seen anywhere near half the content, but a rating of 16+ seems to make sense given some of the content.
[/ QUOTE ]
IIRC the british rating system for Video games is in two parts,
1. The game is first reviewed by PEGI (Pan European Gaming Information), if they decide on a rating it is given, PEGI ratings however are not legally enforced, my fourteen year old brother could buy The Last Remnant which is 16+.
2. If PEGI refuse to rate it, it is sent to the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) for a rating, these are legally enforcable and are mostly seen on the GTA and MK series (MK vs. DC was the first MK not to recieve an 18 rating).
3. If the BBFC refuse to rate it then it cannot be sold in the UK, it can however be imported from a country that sells it. The latest game to have this happen was Manhunt 2.
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm not sure they have to have a rating by law tho most companies seem to get there games rated
and was man hunt not just simply banned tho i think it can be got now -
I've looked at mine but it all seems correct
-
Yes if it was a unintended lvl but if that was the problem it should have been fixed long before now.
-
I hope not limiting it to 45+ is hardly fixing the problem
