I had about a month of fun out of the game, but the harsh realities of life as a low-level Cylon (so many high level Colonials gunning for you) and a general lack of depth to the game (you do PvP and scan asteroids and that's it) made me take time away from the game. Also, they don't give you enough Cubits for your money so they aren't worth buying.

With the news of this patch I think I'll try to make some time for it again, but with the release of City of Heroes: Freedom imminent I don't know if I'll get around to it. The PvP can be fun when it isn't frustrating. And it is frustrating a lot.

I always played the Troll. 6 Strength, and as we all know Strength is the best stat. ;)

Baby needs a new pair of Street Justice. Please help by resubbing with this code for an extra 30 days and the 400 Paragon Points that come with it:

I thank you and my baby thanks you!

City of Heroes did away with the holy trinity in 2004. City of Villains stomped on the corpse of the holy trinity in 2005. Most of MMOdom has yet to catch up to this ahead-of-the-curve game from eight years ago.

The way they did multi-classing killed the game for me. It should just distribute the XP between the two classes instead of making you grind through the same levels twice on the same character.

Follow this thread to see why people leave the game at an alarming pace: http://forums.station.sony.com/dcuopc/posts/list.m?start=0&topic_id=31381#325396 .  They have had 2 months to create/test/approve this content and all these bugs made it to live. If you are enjoying the game great. I just can't give money to companies that can't meet deadlines and what they put out introduces more bugs than what most would find acceptable.

Most epic issues list ever. Game is so fail.

I was in the beta and the writing for this game was very much on the wall. I love City of Heroes, but it's kind of sad that a nearly-8-year-old game is allowed to dominate the superhero MMO space throught the sheer incompetence of its competition. Marvel being the latest and lamest example. I am disappoint.

Hey, did they add Invulnerability as an option yet? Oh, that's right. Superman is an ice golem as far as these devs know.

First thing I thought was "Transformers". Lawsuit.

Another example of a strong IP landing with a thud in the MMO space. Minecraft beat them at their own game.

Gold farmers have an overhead to meet, so they have a certain floor below wich they cannot sell. The average player who is just looking to sell their stuff for whatever they can get has no such floor. They can sell for prices far lower than the farmers. Selling an item for even one penny is still pure profit. For the farmer, that means going out of business.

No, I don't think gold farmers like this idea at all. I think they prefer the closed systems they currently have, where the only competition is from other gold farmers, not average players who can sell their items for next to nothing.

Not having to go to some skanky gold selling site, but instead buying from a secure and convenient in-game location, no the gold farmers are not happy about this development at all I'd say.

It works for a kiddie game but has nearly zero appeal to the adult gamer. That this is the direction they are taking the adult Marvel MMO makes me frustrated.

Crack open an Xbox and what do you see? A PC. The PC is the Mark Twain of consumer electronics. People keep predicting its death, and keep being wrong.

Would have been more clever if you said, "It's now no person view."

Never doubt that CoH still has the single best costume creator in the industry. Amazing stuff people!

Cryptic is currently raping Neverwinter Nights. Cryptic even looking in the general direction of NN should be illegal.

OP only had to wait 6 months for a reply. GG.

Playable with mouse and keyboard only if you are willing to break all 54 of your hand bones by playing that way.

Given the revenue bottoming out, they had to do something, and this was the something, as it turns out. Now to disabuse the naysaying vets of the notion that there is any difference between a F2P population and one that pays $15 a month. That F2P game populations are populated by nothing but raging lunatic trolls is one of the least true and most unfair stereotypes of F2P games.
