I had such high hopes for this game. Alas they were dashed & my illusions were torn asunder when I was able to try the beta and really experience all the game had to offer (which isn't much).
For a MMO, it isn't very massive. The main zone for instance (no pun intended lol) has an instance cap of 100! That's it. Which is pitiful for such a large zone. Not to mention all the loading screens & having to decide instances every single time gets old fast & kills immersion.
- point 2. You change zones (say to level up) and then you go back to the zone your team was in. BUT if that zone nears the instance cap it wont let you in. EVEN IF THE REST OF YOUR TEAM IS IN IT. So you are forced to either wait for someone to exit that zone which can take a looong time, or else ask your whole team to change zones. AND IF they actually change zones, they are transported far away from the quest and have to essentially start over. Horrible system.

You have few points but just a note from a other standpoint.

The instance did have higher player limits. The started with around 200 but then a outcry happen on the forums from other players that needed to wait for a quest or did spent to much time waiting for respawn. I guess teaming is so hard for some....

The even said the will change it later again, when the places are not overcrowded, including tweaking respawn...

Switching Zones, yeah I see your problem. Look at me, I like it for the point you hated because with the instance switch you travel back to the entrance point. So you save travel time to hit the powerhouse, fly to a other zone or sell/craft stuff. ;)

Thinking of making a guild just for rich people and we can buy all booster packs and extra stuff and none will stand a chance. Hows that for balance? Over and out :P

Nah I will hire some chinese farmers that do that stuff and can multibox for my amusement, that's cheaper. ;)

I saw a video interview with Bill and it stated that any cosmetic upgrades you can buy in the store can be earned in the game, as well as other little tidbits like extra character slots, name change, etc.  Said items will probably not be game breaking to give it an unfair advantage over someone who doesn't buy cryptic bucks.  That being said, not everybody can buy cryptic bucks due to one issue or another so all those items being in game will give those players a chance to acquire some neat looking stuff.  But like I said before, don't expect any items to be giving boosts over another player in PvP or make your superhero super powerful on a raid scale.  The devs know that is what can break a game.
 

 
QFT. The things you can buy are either purely cosmetic, or earnable ingame. Stop whining, you don't have to use the MT, and it just gives more money for developing content.

The idea is wanting to be able to have things there that players can get if they want to, but they don’t negatively impact the balance of the game. It’s not like we’re expecting players to go and purchase things through micro-transactions that then give them some huge leg up.
.

Right. So for us, the things we’re looking at with micro-transactions are more along the lines of being fun for players to have that aren’t going to be doing anything to disrupt or upset the balance of the game, or give someone who decides to use micro-transactions any kind of leg up on anybody else.

Yeah I know, we can get this kind of item too ingame in some way later if what Bill says is true but if the add that stuff with RMT...........
 
 

No clue. But check if you use the correct information. Your ncsoft master login (for the CoX account) can have a different login then the CoX client.

Oh and maybe try the US trial. The freedom server alone has a higher population as all european servers...
 

You can download the US or EU update here: download.cityofheroes.com/

But if the did not change this in the last years, you can't play with a ncsoft EU CoX account in the US.

You still need a key for a US account........

Did you read the article?  Only 4 active and 4 reactive abilities going into any mission so ... it's already dumbed down if you only get to use 4 powers.  It's going to be a glorified Marvel Ultimate Alliance...  / ' :

Yeah only 4 active seems a little boring. I really hope we will see at last a combo system to make this powers even more powerful or change them into something different.
