John T Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Re: Since CoH is gone... I'll be blunt: I'm far too bitter about NCSoft's "d*** move" to play another superhero MMO without a great deal of resentment, right now. This is especially true when a) CO always felt more like an arcade "fighter" game than a genuine MMO, and I trust Cryptic and PWE almost as little. Which is 0.01% above "none", honestly.

Shadow Hawk Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Re: Since CoH is gone... My dad is especially bitter, since he's been playing this game since I introduced him to it some 5 years ago. He says he's too old to learn a new game.

RexMundi Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Re: Since CoH is gone... I wouldn't say CO actually has a Learning curve to speak off. If I can play it so can anyone and I've seen rocks on the ground that can muster more mental ooomph then myself on any given day..... ~Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nechevo Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Re: Since CoH is gone... I feel bad-I haven't played in a long while. Guess I won't now : ( Well COH is still running, the severs are supposed to keep going until Nov 30. NCSoft has halted all development, laid off/shut down Paragon Studio, shut down the ability to make purchases on the game but the game is still running.

If I can play it so can anyone and I've seen rocks on the ground that can muster more mental ooomph then myself on any given day..... ~Rex I'd say it does have a bit of a learning curve. The tutorial section does a poor job of explaining the mechanics of "energy builder" and "consumer" powers. There are some "training videos" that you get to look at in the Powerhouse after you ran the tutorial. My first character got up to level 8 yesterday and I'm still unclear on how to effectively use the Block power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexMundi Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Re: Since CoH is gone... Hit the shift key when the badguys are charging up. ~Rex....says it took him awhile to figure out blocking as well and is annoyed they took block practice out of the tutorial.....

Tom Carman Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Re: Since CoH is gone... There's blocking practice in the Powerhouse. I tried it and that's why I'm unsure about effective use. It seemed to block less damage if I started blocking as soon as the practice laser started charging. Either blocking effectiveness is pretty random or it's a timing issue. I haven't yet gone online looking for answers, but I'm thinking I'll have to. One of the first missions I got was to stop GRAB from robbing a cruise liner (I think), but I have no clue where to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opale, aka Miss Quantum of Vigilance Server Ummm... no? The option to play for free went live about a year ago. The only thing that happened at the shutdown announcement was that no accounts would be billed from the announcement (8/31) through the planned closure date (11/30).

lemming Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Re: Since CoH is gone... So how go the rescue efforts? Apparently there are talks going on between some members of Paragon Studios and NCSoft, but no idea. Lots of publicity. I played some of the new arcs that were on Beta and enjoyed them. Hopefully, the game gets saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GestaltBennie Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Re: Since CoH is gone... So how go the rescue efforts? Insiders are saying that the protests have caught NCSoft's attention. For the sake of the CoX player base, I hope it's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John T Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Re: Since CoH is gone... will players be allowed to modify HOH characters for CO play?" Cryptic hasn't had anything to do with CoH for several years, and the games use different engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexMundi Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Re: Since CoH is gone... Never understood the Computer Gaming thing of having to "retain" anything from another game or during a rebuild of a character on the same game. Just build something that looks like the old CoH guy, acts like it, and start playing. I seriously doubt any amount of outcry is going to save the game. It's not what the company wants regardless of it's levels of success, they just don't want it anymore. ~Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
