I'm sorry CoH is gone. I'm sorry CO isn't what you want it to be.
Hugs, guys.
And now you say the exact thing I hate coming from anyone playing CO, especially since you always indirectly throw that accusation at me every time. I don't, ever, want to hear any "I'm sorry CoH is gone and I'm sorry about CO" because you and I both know thats just a way of saying "Hahaha, sucks to be you that YOUR game is down and my game is still around". It's both rude, and condescending.
Especially when I only mentioned CoH, a couple times at most, but not what it did or anything, just whats going on. But you guys ALWAYS do this, every, single time. It's sickening, its why we have such low opinions of you guys. You guys always accuse me of either having nostalgia, OR you accuse me of wanting CO to be CoH, OR you just flat out tell me CO is going to remain and CoH is going to remain shut down even when the chances are high of CoH's return. I never, however, say for sure CO is going to be shutdown but that it's at RISK that you guys refuse to recognize.
No, I do not think CO's shutdown will cause CoH to return. If CO shuts down, it'll be whether CoH returns or not, it has no affect on that.
Your game never gets new content that has any length or quality.
Your game continues to throw false deals out there or even insane discounts.
Your game has only a few zones open in MC, less than 5 now.
Your game has a black mark as baiting and switching players of real life money. And it's even got a thread on it, a few in various places.
Yet why do I still play it? Cause I enjoy the game itself.
Yet do I think it'll shut down? Duh, because of whats happening to YOU guys. YOU guys even have barbaric slander sites aimed at roleplayers pinning as many lies as possible on them.
Your community always rubs salt in any wound it finds in anyone, including the bait and switch, or in some cases, city of heroes.
You guys even have SPIES infiltrate sg's to try and root out anyone who disagrees with the trolls to try and ruin things.
Your community has jerks ask the developers do increadibly stupid balance changes just so the above "Rub salt in the wound" can be done by the trolls.
I, I don't even know if you guys even have the capacity to look at yourselves. At all. Or feel how others feel or anything.
IF you made it this far, thats the kind of black mark you guys have on you. People, hate your guts and they despise what happened to CO. Because of how many in your community have betrayed and backstabbed one another. This isn't EVE online for gods sake, where sure, the ingame economy is tied to people spending money on it, but even then everything is earnable IN GAME. AND THE DEVELOPER GIVES THE INTENTIONAL BUYER BEWARE. Co's devs don't do that, and tons of things are pay to win what do you expect?
And no, CO is not city of heroes. City of heroes' developers and community wouldn't let such atrocities happen to it and god damnit we are still fighting to get our game back. When bad things happened we banded together to deal with it in a proper manner, rather than take the opportunity to grief and damage.
What have you guys done thats remarkable? Freeform system? Other games did it better before and after. Character creation? Generic faces do not allow for appearance variety. I mean look at this page. CO is THREE on it.
http://www.gamebreaker.tv/featured/top-5-mmos-that-should-have-been-cancelled-a-long-time-ago/It's, no wonder. I'm not kidding when I say CO is FUBAR(and if you somehow don't know what that is, Fucked up beyond all recognition). People cannot say the same of CO that they can say of CoX because CO commited atrocity after atrocity to it's own playerbase, the devs themselves did that. Even in EVE's case, you have to remember it's the PLAYERS who commit the atrocities, not the developers.
You guys never improve, because you refuse to recognize that your game is FUBAR. You refuse to recognize there is a potential problem on the horizon, somewhere, that maybe your game is going down infamous, rather than with fame as CoH had. CoH went down but people miss it, CO when it goes, everyone will be "WEll that was a shithole, who cares?". CO won't have the backing CoH had, there were multiple studios interested during the talks that are still going on, and proabably still multiple studios interested. What'll happen to CO? I wish I knew, I would love to say the same as what happened to CoX but I have no confidence there.
No, all you guys say is "Well we are the ONLY option" every time. As if your game is litterally the only option. No, it's not, there are dozens of other games that give a power fantasy, many of which do it properly through the being heroic aspect, and just as many where your "the hero" even if your not really being heroic. There are dozens of games, other genres besides mmorpgs and other games in the mmorpg market and of course upcoming competition as always. No, you guys love to live the fantasy of being the only game in existence. Thats a lie, and you know that.
Do I think what they are doing is a good idea with this one change? Perhaps it is but it's a late idea. Came way to late.
And understand lastly, I am not taking a shot at you for liking CO, I'm glad your happy. But seriously get out of the house and learn how people react to the things you say.
Yes, City of heroes is gone, in jail, but I believe it will be back myself. Just as Angel Phoenix does.
