It is great that the staff is looking for ways to get players to use the "ignored" zones.

One suggestion that might work:

Actually have the Faultline Trial running.
Faultline is a trial zone... yet there is no trial running in it.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's not a Trial Zone. It's a Hazard Zone. Just meaning it's hazardous for someone to try and solo that zone if they're at even con due to the overwhelming size of groups.

Content is details like Lou's Garage, one small example. Frostfire's mission is another. Still these are only minor graphics and model changes, something I myself can do to this game in less than ten minutes with Adobe Photoshop.

LOL.

First you take some textures out of the game using well known and easily obtainable software. You change a few of the textures, throw in a little art, and repack it. In less than 10 minutes you can change any character in the game, any map, anything at all that has a texture on it.

It took you guys over a month to come up with capes. A friend of mine used Maya to do the same thing in about 10 minutes. Fully flowing cape animations. Some of them looked better than what is in CoH now. I told him to send them in and get a job working for you guys so we could have something other than crap.

How to make current ingame excuses for content:

Peacekeeper:
Use the lightning eyes effect on your character.

Only current CoH bar:
Add purple lighting to existing warehouse map.

New mob type:
Create new model and attach old animations. Assign powers like hold and stun.

If I had the money to buy the Unreal engine (just like what the devs of this game did) I could've built CoH.

PWNED B*TCH.

Just to give you a stat side...

The success rate on the respec is a tad over 75%.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's umpossible! 100% must be achieved or else this game sucks.

j/k of course. I guess there goes the "The respec is impossible" threads. Well, now I'm really kidding because people will ignore this number.

Ya but the last update was 9/16
dont you think its time we atleast learn what is on this update?
All of my lvl 50 friends have quit and im on the fence, we need PVP, new content etc etc and I dont see any of that on the horizon

[/ QUOTE ]

Then just cancel your subscription and wait until you do hear about all this stuff you 'need'. Don't use We either because that includes me as well and I don't need those things. They would be nice, yes. But I still play regardless.

Can someone please verify the rumor that we need to have a lvl 50 to use the new AT?

[/ QUOTE ]

its not a rumor its a fact.



[/ QUOTE ]

=( ok, so I guess I have to powergrind my last 9 levels instead of enjoying them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why? Who said that? I didn't get my e-mail forcing me to do something that I didn't want to do.

Now however, if you want to have this on the first day, maybe you should, but don't say you "have" to.

To all those who helped test the "Trick or Treat" portion of our Halloween event.

And don't worry - it'll be available in ALL City Zones and ALL levels.

BTW, we've got another "trick" up our sleeve for Halloween. MMMMWWWAAAHHAAAAHHAAAA.

I really hate to say it but this is, by far, the worst decision to change this game made yet...

[/ QUOTE ]

You're good. Not only can you decide how bad it is off of just 2 paragraphs, but you've also decided that nothing is worse than it.

You probably already maxxed out your Detective skills. Either that, or you're just now getting into your Communication skills and haven't even gotten your first box yet.

I'd rather wait to see it before I pan (or praise) it.

Last statement from States on the issue was that the current plan was for the $15/month would cover one, the other, or both.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep, I've read that somewhere, too.

One fee will be valid for CoV, CoH or Both.

You mean it's not the end of the world?!?!? Reading the first few posts, you'd think Cryptic announced that a) it WAS going to double costs and 2) they went to your house and kicked your dog while you were at work.

My friends will advance just as fast, or faster if they're Sidekicked to me.

How is that selfish?

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe they want to do their story arcs and/or get their couple of mission badges also while gettiung XP?

[/ QUOTE ]

Also, if you have 2 low-level friends, you can only sk one. However, they can reverse sk you and all 3 are at or near the same level.

Oddly enough, I've never seen Babbage in Boomtown, but have seen him in Skyway at least a dozen times (appearing as part of the Synapse TF).

[/ QUOTE ]

Ummm....

[ QUOTE ]
Is the Babbage supposed to spawn in Boomtown?

In short, the answer is yes.


Does the Babbage currently spawn in Boomtown?

No – this is a bug. We’re working on it.

My heals, hasten, etc appear to be fully charged when i look at the icon, yet it takes a while after that before they are truely ready.

Sucks when you think your heal is ready and it's not

I first saw this on TEST, but now after issue 2 has gone live, i see it again.

Anyone else have this and if so, how do you report it ?

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, this used to happen to me on Live before test. It wasn't every time though. But when it would do it, it kept doing it...

This may be the only game in history that I will be forced to give up for this issue. Usually it's because the customer service treats me like I owe them something :P

[/ QUOTE ]

As opposed to you believing they owe you a specific answer?

You're fulfilling your end of the bargain by paying. They're fulfilling their end of the bargain by having an online server for you to join and a stream of updates.

If at any time you feel like ending that 'agreement', cancel. Simple as that. They will never satisfy 100% of the people and you should be aware of that.

Door missions give more exp, and are slightly shifted in mob strength. This will help you level faster solo, greater rewards for doing 1 door mission a night.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not actually concerned with leveling exp, though it's an important positive change for many reasons. That's why my main is a level 30 and not a 50.

But my concern is with the acquisiton of enhancement rewards which determine my ability to perform in the field. Often, at these levels, you must hunt the outdoors to acquire these in order to sell, and purchase SO enhancers which address YOUR character build to create that nominal character.

If I can no longer experience THESE rewards, then leveling is meaningless as in 2 levels my enhancement situation reduces me to purchasing a whole new set.

In order to perform in many missions, my enhancements must be optimized or I get owned. This is the way the game is designed at its basic level. Getting my 30 to 50 tomorrow is not the greatest interest I have. This particular character has 10 souveniers, I do the missions and enjoy the sequence.

Now.

If I can no longer hunt for the enhancements without interfering with somebody else of a lower level, because I must face blues now instead of yellows, I end up in a situation where the return on my time put into playing has been reduced to the point where it becomes more grief for me than normally dealing with the KSers out there, and group griefers if forced to go that way. I end up spending twice the time at least to accomplish the same goal...

...just to go back to doing the missions once I am properly optimized.

The problem I face is with mission rewards.

When I do nothing but missions, the enhancements returned to me are not enough to gain the influence to purchase that whole new set every few levels.

Therefore, I have to hunt outdoors to get enough of them. For example, at level 30, I am still 250,000 influence short of completing the level 30 set of SO enhancements I require. Gaining THAT should take me no more than a couple hours of devoted hunting. Maybe complete by Wednesday if I am lucky and have the time.

But, all this does is fill me with Gray enhancers, and already I must be thinking of the level 32 acquisitions. Doing the missions MIGHT return more experience, but to me this is a negative change because I will reach 32 before I can even come close to affording the needed enhancements.

...and I won't be able to solo the outdoors nearly as well, causing me to spend more time with debt and griefers than I intended originally. A lot more time.

THIS game is all about enhancement management at any level, from the strategic standpoint, and inspiration management at the tactical level. If this is messed with in the wrong manner, it changes the entire game in a negative way that I might not be able to overcome simply by saying "Oooh, a new challenge".

This may be the only game in history that I will be forced to give up for this issue. Usually it's because the customer service treats me like I owe them something :P

[/ QUOTE ]

Instead of theorizing - go freaking try it. Don't ask us all these hypothetical questions because I've tried it and I can solo just fine.
