It's kind of sad to see everyone crying Gloom and Doom at CoX. Just because they are working on diffrent titles doesn't mean anything. If you look at all of these forums, you get the same people over and over again crying wolf that a game will fail because another game is coming out or the developers have all switched over to working on another title. Cryptic is NOT Blizzard people. Cryptic has only ever delivered. Just because people get screwed over with big companies like Blizzard and Sony doesn't mean that smaller developers will do the same thing. I play CoX as my main. I have played WoW and SWG among others. And yeah, bigger developers are quite slimy when it comes to stuff like this. Blizzard specifically. They have let me down everytime since Warcraft 2. Now adays, they develop more card games, movies and board games then actual PC Games. Ugg. Cryptic delivers, Issue 8 was incredable. Issue 9 promises to be more so. As I develop single player games, if I had a choice of entering the MMO market in a company, I would go to Cryptic. As a matter of fact, I was really hoping on sending off an application coming up pretty soon.

Originally posted by bboyknockout haha yea! beta tester for the win! XD not to be arrogant or anything, but i think i'd make a good beta tester. i'v played ALOT, i mean ALOT of mmorpgs. AND im quite picky, so i think that might help. XD haha man o man, that would be the day, being a beta tester..... i want more info on their "Secret Projects" and Marvel Online. u really think Cryptic Studios looks at these posts? lol I think you got the betatester idea wrong. Being paid for beta testing INSIDE a gamestudio, is nothing like what you, most likely, are used to (E.G.: Get key > Sign-up > Download > Play) It involves sitting day and night, looking at the same, again and again, until you figure out what the hell is wrong; sometimes you even sleep at work. I've seen betatesters who did that, and they didn't look fresh. O'rly.

They think that COH has gotten more content than when it first started? It's been given the same damn content when it was first released. They didn't start from scratch with COV, they made it the same thing with slight variation. COH is the same game it was when it was released. No depth and no fun. Don't listen to the crap here programmers, they are trying to feed you with lies. I like how he said that it's like hollywood, you have to first get used and abused until you become a star. So when do you become a star? When they lay you off after the project is completed? Programmers, if you have any knowledge of working for game companies is that they will use you and spit you out. If you like working 60+ hours a week, then this is the place for you. Any of us can go home and jump on our 360 rather than get placed into the "cool game room". Stay away from Cryptic before you become a slave and have no life outside of work! (besides you could probably make a better game by yourself because crpytic hasn't figured out what fun is yet)

Have any of you looked at housing in Los Gatos? I wonder what they start their employees at to afford housing in that area. Fact: In the United States, 4% of all children are born with a heart defect. Fact: Only 1% of those has Ebstein's Anomaly. Fact: My daughter is in that 1%.

Originally posted by LordCaptain It's kind of sad to see everyone crying Gloom and Doom at CoX. Hey, I was there from Launch and throughout all the changes and Nerfs, I was convinced that they were heading in the right direction. I didn't agree with most of the major decisions but I never said it would be the end of the Game. ....However NOW they ARE intentionally diverting their resources and talent away from CoH to other projects and NCSoft doesn't care b/c their investment already started making them a profit in 2005 and continued to do so in 2006. Now if you can't tell the difference between the usual "DOOM" and increasing evidence that the Cryptic Execs themselves are scaling back all involvement, then I feel sorry for you. I guess you've never been "downsized out of a game" Before.
