Originally posted by kb056 Then again, this game is set in the Desert regen of the Grand Canyon...what can anyone expect from dirt and rocks??
lol...you mean besides the fact that the Grand Cayon, the red hills of Sadona, and the surrounding areas are probably the most unique and awe inspireing veiws in the U.S. If anything they are so beautiful it's very hard (if even possible) to represent in a photograph or illustration/animation. |

Champions Online is getting ready to Start...will this be the WoW Killer?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion 8/07/09 12:39:21 PM
I don't really buy into the concept of a WOW killer. Reguardless, the Superhero genre simply isn't big enough to "kill" wow. Even if everone who plays CO stopped playing (and was currently playing) WOW to play CO, WOW would still by far be the most popular MMO in North America. |

City of Heroes: Going Rogue to Bring Graphics Upgrade?

Dang, sorry to hear that, but the problem is on your end. I play COX with all settings maxed out on a core2duo 3 GHz, 2GB RAM, NVIDIA 512MB GTS8800 Your rig's specs are better than mine, yet I can run COX at max with no problems and you cannot. Definately a user issue, you should get with someone that is knowledgeable in computers to give you a hand.
now on to the subject of the post: I would love to see them revamp the graphics in COX, I still consider it my favorite game. The graphics as they stand now aren't too bad but modernizing the look might make the game feel "new" again.
It might be play style differnce. I have your same specs except I have an extra GB RAM and if I do anything other then run regular missions (and sometimes even then) I have to bottom out my graphic settings. Especially in the last month. I agree with what most everyone else seems to be saying. That the game needs a performance up grade, rather then new grapics. |

The differences between Champions Online and City of Heroes

Looking for an MMO where I can be awesome without wasting so much time...
LFGame « General Discussion 7/12/09 9:01:15 PM
glord, it sounds like COX is a game you would really like. It doesn't require farming/raiding to feel powerful and the people who do farm are only marginally better because it isn't a very item focused game. COX also has a very strong RP community compared to most MMos. Hope it helps. |

HELP PLEASE, m not joking this time... married MMO players only please
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion 7/11/09 9:16:15 PM
No one can really answer this because they don't know you, your spouse, or the dynamic of your relationship. However, as with most things in any relationship communication and compromise has to be the bases of meeting boths parties desire. Tell her point blank, but affectionatly that this is a hobby that you enjoy and helps you relieve tension/stress in your life and you're unwilling to give it up. Tell her what days you are going to play and from what time frame (one or two nights a week for no more then 4 hours). In return ask what it is she needs from you to feel that you two are having quality time together. If she is unresponsive to this, you need to make her the bad guy in the situation...but do so calmly. Let her know that your gaming is important to you and while it's not more important to you then your family her unwillingness to work toward some compromise you find not only unfair, but presents questions of how important your contentment and happiness is to her in your relationship. If she is unresponsive to this (assumingly you present it lovingly and calmly), quite frankly you have serious problems in your relationship.
Oh and the sex thing is good too. Usually these problems stem from a lack of intimacy in the relationship and regular sexual activity is often very important to providing that. Although if she is unresponsive to that (to having sex that is), again you are having problems that the two of you need help identifying. |

I think this is removed from the standard "death system" of most MMOs and very fitting of a superhero game. You get knockd out and wait 10-30 seconds to wake up. Much btter then being transported across the zone/city mysteriously and having to make your way back. being knocked out and having a little down time until you clear your head is exactly how I hoped they were going do it. Another thing I have been waiting for is: There will not be a requirement for a "mentoring" or "side-kick" scheme in DCUO. "DCUO has a much flatter leveling curve than most MMOS," said Jens. "You can still play or group with players much higher or lower in level than you and both still gain experience." Again exactly how I was hoping it would be. I hate it when mmo's artifically augment damage/accuarcy/ based upon level. The thing that should make a level 50 better then a level 10 is the fact that they have access to more/better abilities; not nerphed based upon level. A lot of what I have heard about the direction of the game thus far has been very positive from my perspective. |

I never understood what people had against it either. I think it's mostly just a convention used for people to feel superior over newer players. However, its usually considered rude to "blind invite." |

General: Massey: Accessible Subscription MMOs?
News Discussion « General Discussion 7/05/09 11:28:45 AM
The article has some good points, but i think it trivializes the importantance of making a game with enough enjoyable and varied content to keep people wanting to play. One thing wow did that the other titles haven't was release with a huge world w/various quests , and has kept consistantly dangling the carrot of content. |

Hidden in the question though was the point that there seems to be an underwelming amount of hype about this game. I know very little about the game and frankly that makes me care to know even less. Seriously if the developers/producers come across as unexcited about their own game, then why should I be.
Just sayin. |

Champions Online: Champions Release Date Pushed Back
News Discussion « General Discussion 5/20/09 9:36:25 AM
I'm glad that they had the guts to pushed the release back. However, from the lack of feed back it didn't realy seem like it was going to be ready for a july launch; so then stupidthing is what made them think that it was ready in the first place. How hard is it toconclude if a game is ready for launch? I imagine pretty hard if the people in charge hardly play their own game. |

this isn't even any where near beta yet and still in the heat of development. Also, cleaning upo the animation is something thats usually done very late in development. That being said I have liked the animation style. |

Not so sure that DC will be better, having been a huge EQ1 fan, after SOE took over it became very boring. Also tried EQ2 and Vanguard, and felt the same about those 2 games. If they run it properly, it has a good chance to succeed. However, if they run it the way they normally run games it will be a fail.
I haven't ben a fan of SOE's MMOs either, but DCUO is being made by the Sony game division, which has had far better results. Granted they haven't been in charge of making a MMO before, but that might acytually be a good thing. |

This is a fun game where you build football players, sign them with teams and they improve with experience. It's not much more then X and O graphics, but very addictive and a good sim. Make a player and give it a try.
