Paragon City, from City of Heroes

hey, its so big, its the whole game.

to Bill Roper I will ask, does this super cool combat you speak of exist in the game right now? Or is it the ideal you are striving for?

Show us a video of it.

hey that was great!

yeah but what about the escape afterwards? Is there an ability for that? Or are we talking about kamikazi missions.

Thanks for the spam. Wrong forum btw

playing one last night, I found the war lion to be very responsive. He stuck with me the whole time and didnt miss a beat. So it looks like their AI is fixed. I am not aware of any problems with dps.

Its funny, everyone wants them to own up,  And when they do... more bitching. This also isnt the first time he has said most of this info, yet people will continue to cry about DX10 (even if they cant use it).

All of his responses seemed completely reasonable to me.

It takes time to build trust. And just because Funcom guy extends the olive branch does not mean everyone will accept Funcom/AoC back as the prodigal son. If they are serious about this then they will continue to own up to mistakes and make good on promises. Eventually the bithcing would die down (although some will never let it go). But frankly I doubt his sincerity and I dont think anything will change. This is just PR.

Well.

There should be one MODERATED forum.

That is not used to bitch about the game, or talk nonsense. But to organise and share strategies

Warhammer Alliance fits that bill. Their mods run a tight ship. I havnt seen any bitching sessions over there. This forum on the other hand.... Nothing constructive here.

Microsoft doesnt have rights to it, they were just the publisher. And yes, they want into the mmo market but are too chicken shit to take the plunge. I read an interview with Brian Bendis (he is the top writer at Marvel currently and was part of the project) he said that out of nowhere Microsoft suddenly pulled the plug, no reason given. As to why Cryptic did not stick with Marvel and find a new publisher...that I dont know.

maybe EA will gobble it up

oh see, now you've gone and asked a tuff question. Are you a journalist or something? The best answer I can give, not to sound too philisophical here, is that Funcom simply makes peace with the game they made. Their game allows certain things and encourages a particular behavior, they should just let it ride and let the players play the game. Loosen up Funcom, its just a game.

But the answer I really wanted to give is that the best solution is for the players to cancel and the Funcom people to start padding their resumés

Not to defend FCOM but what he is asking is usual in any MMO. The reason? Because once an exploit is posted everyone can do it. You guys know this, there is nothing wrong with this. Yeah, kinda bs that how do you know if your exploiting,  there really is no answer there other then if it gives you an obvious advantage it probably is exploiting.

No real answer to this issue other then the devs fixing the problem. Just saying every MMO does this, so while I am with you guys on many things you have posted, this one is a bit of a reach.

 

REAL exploits give unforseen advantages and are typicaly bugs, though not always. In this case there is nothing to fix. In this game you can climb up onto stuff and shoot down, this is how the game was made.

I clicked on this thread just because the title was so cool.

But reading Famines quote.......   Very perplexing. Its difficult to combat circular logic like that, except to just say he's freakin' crazy.

grab it from Filefront, there is a torrent too that one of the players created. Its much faster than the auto patcher     But I am still waiting an hour to download at 80/kps

Is it judge Judy? I love judge Judy! And I can totaly see her mistreating everyone around her. She's a badger.

Urtok I can only laugh at that. Thanks for the banter and goodluck with your newer more "focused" RvR.

goodnight yall

this is what I dont understand. When they talk about removing cities adding focus to the RvR. It doesnt. You still have 3 seperate campeigns being fought for. The players are still spread out. Players will still have no direction as to which of the 3 campeigns they should be fighting for at any given time. Removing cities focuses nothing. This is just a bit of twisted, unjustified rationale they through in while they were brainstorming reasons that removing cities may be a good thing for the game. It just doesnt stand up to logic.

 

 

Yeah I thought about it a bit and you still end up not being "focused" like everyone is claiming afterall with how it was explained in the podcast.

Only way to find out how this works is to play it.

 

so you basicly can not see that having ONE city seige to focus on is not as focus as have THREE?!?!?!  Old way each racial pairing does their own city seiging and could care less about the other two cities.  But NOW the entire realm is focus on ONE city objective, all three races working together for the advancement of the entire realm.  But, no you are right thats not focus enough.

There is no "one city objective", there is 3 objectives. Three campeigns to be fought for. The goal at th end is incidental. You will get there no matter what. But having your realms forces spread across 3 campeigns still doesnt sound very focused to me.

I'm sure the word would get around that 1 of the 3 battlefronts is about to be taken.

I am sure it would. Everyone will go duke-it-out at the tier4 or the fortress as the case may be. And one side wins.... so now there are two more campeigns to choose from. Which one do you fight for? You can hardly assume that one will already be at tier4, in which case the choice is obvious. Everyone will simply go their merry way and keep fighting as they like until another campeign hits tier4. Personaly I dont have a problem with that. It beats being locked into one campeign that the game decides you should fight for. But all I am saying is there is still a lack of "focus" no matter how you slice it.

Very odd. They say its supposed to create more "depth". I think the players will hate it. But we shall see.
