It saddens me that Blizzard can just turn their policies around, if it wasn't much of a big deal, why was the non transfer of PVE to PVP put in place?

Why? To keep misanthropic ganktards happy and compliant. It was never an actual big deal. The actual challenge involved in leveling up in WoW is nothing. You don't lose XP. You don't lose gear. You lose a tiny bit of time. Boo Hoo.

Now that growth is tapering off they are doing things to try and maintain usage. They fear ANY decline in usage because that will create a snowball effect. Once WoW is no longer "The Thing", usage will decline rapidly.

But all in all it is a good thing because it will make PvP more interesting, and may even result in wider user of SIEGE VEHICLES! WOO HOO! :)

Get ready to start giggling. I think Funcom won't be able to save itself from this one like it did with Anarchy Online. At least with AO, MMORPGs were new, there was not much competition, and AO was original in a lot of ways.

AoC has none of those things going for it. The good news is this means Funcom won't be wasting MMO news space or gobbling up investment dollars someone else could use on a good game.

it is the most repetitive game ive ever played.  you fight the same crap over and over and over and over and over in the same areas over and over. the character custom job is outstanding. powers are fun, travel powers rule. other then that, boring

Yeah, and that is what makes it so tragic. I have stopped and returned to CoX many times. I have 7 or 8 level 50s. So many things about the game are great... except for the total lack of things to DO.

When friends ask me "How can you play that game? What is fun about it" I make the following analogy:

City of Heroes is like owning a Ferrari that is really fun to drive, but you are only allowed to drive it in a parking lot.

I returned after 2+ years for the Living Legacy promotion and I think they did a lot of things to make it better.

There is a lot of gameplay variety which is a welcome relief from the modern MMO trend to have nothing but killing mobs or players.

World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King Siege Vehicles -

Details Revealed

{Mod Edit}

The only truth we will get is when Funcom goes tango uniform and someone who gets screwed out of their severage tells all in a Gamasutra post mortem.

The reasons why this game is not bigger are pretty simple.

1) Absolutely nothing to do with your level 50 characters. This sucks because by level 50 your character is a TON of fun.

2) No gameplay variety at all. You run warehouse mission after warehouse mission. No mini games. Base building concept is awesome but foolishly limited to super groups.

3) No feeling that you are impacting the world. This is important for a super hero game.

Wow. That is a grisly tale.

If you discount the errors that are bound to be in a newly released MMO like AoC. What exactly is it that is wrong with AoC?

 

If you'd like a professional explanation from a professional game industry writer, read this review:

For the reactivation codes, do you get 15 days free? Or do you have to subscribe first and then get the 15 days?

but thank you for not lying to us

 

I love MMO companies that expect patience and yet keep charging $15 a month.

Don't expect or even hope for patience when the meter is running.

4) come out in the forseeable future

5) further down the road.

6) out as soon as possible as we

7) shouldn't be too far off.

Wow. That's some vague time tabling.

How does this "great graphics" canard keep getting repeated?

The graphics in this game SUCK. They don't just suck a little, they suck a LOT.

They used every shade of brown ever known to man. There must be 16 million different shades of brown in this game.

And armor? Forget AO's cool armor. In AoC we get brown sacks and aluminum foil weapons.

Yay... flowing grass. Who cares? Everything that matters in the game looks like crap (character models, mobs, armor, and weapons).

Stop repeating this "stellar graphics" lie because AoC's looks like trash. Even the dev distributed screenshots look putrescent.

Wow. Amazing. That takes a lot of balls to leak info about an expansion when the core game is about 1/10th of a finished game.

LOL.

Is Funcom even going to be solvent in 2009? Their stock price is going faster than Lindsay Lohan in a dyke bar.

I agree. Which is why I love this review. The guy clearly PLAYED the game:

 

Review from a writer that actually played the game.

 

 

Sorry to burst your bubble but he did not play or hes complete moron

If you are moving at any time during the completion of the combo, the combo fails. Yes, that is right. This is a melee combo system that forces you to stand still.

Wow. He really did play the game, since that's what happens if you move during the finisher of a combo. Something I always thought was retarded as heck.
