rhinohelix posted:Sorry to make it sound cloak and dagger; the game was incredibly fun in closed/open beta, every power set/archetype felt good and powerful; it still really lacked polish, though. The trouble was IIRC they brought in Bill Roper of Hellgate London fame and after the headstart weekend (and selling a ton of lifetime subs) without warning or patch notes they dropped a huge game-changing balance patch (xp nerf, mob dmg increase, pc ability nerfs, etc) on retail launch day. Again, IIRC, they just nerfed and nerfed and never managed to make the game as close to as fun as it had been or as stable as it needed to be out of beta. I got off the train soon after and counted my blessings that I only got snookered for a six months deal rather than a lifetime sub. Of course, CO is still around, so... Champions also made the pants-on-head-stupid move of using PvP to balance PvE. For example, microdrones would be dominating PvP one week, losers would whine on the forums, and next week people would log in to find microdrones nerfed to poo poo in PvE. The game was poop in many other ways; characters stats are much too complex, and there's no need to team so no one does. I have no idea why Champions is still not only alive but getting development today. Who the hell is giving them money?

Time for my whalepost. I can't say how many hours I played because it vanished from my Steam Library yesterday, but I'd say about 400. I only spend about $20, so I can't complain about the value. 20 heroes to 60, three passed the Cosmic Trial, no yellowmans. One thing I do respect about the game; during the time when it was good, 2014 until BUE, it was about the only freemium game that was really fun to play without you ever spending money. It sure as heck made you WANT to spend money on Stash space, but that was about it. Fun times: being pretty near top DPS with Summoner Doom. I remember being in a 2-man Shield trainer with some rando and a challenge came up here we had to beat three bosses. I beat two and came to see derfus halfway through the first. Regrets: Hawkeye never became good. Kamala Khan never came out (although she would have probably been a clone of Mr. Fantastic from a powers standpoint.) Never unlocked Kitty, Loki, or Nick Fury. Also I never traded those 5 Furry Manes. Gynovore fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Nov 25, 2017 |

punchymcpunch posted:UPDATE: Nobody knows where the server is physically located, the only people who know the password have been fired, Disney is considering purchasing the building and demolishing it to see if that helps. Hahaha, that's hysterical. Most likely, they contracted with a hosting company, and paid monthly, so the game will be up until the 31st. Maybe they even paid quarterly, in which case it will be up until the end of the year.

It would be funny if the game stayed up until dec 31st MHbugle.com is saying Monday now. Games like that generally require weekly maintenance, so if it is Dec, there will probably be a crash in a week or two.

I don't know how much of it's legit, but I've heard some pretty good reasoning for it. Honestly, 'pissy' is the right word for it. Marvel reminded me of an eight year old kid telling his mommy "I'd going to stand right here and hold my breath till you give me my skateboard back!!"

Now it's being re-released by some Korean MMO company with no bugfixes or new features at all, and multiplayer chopped out.

Pretty sure Magic Legends is gonna suck. It's being done by Cryptic, who have slid a long, loooooong way down in the 17 years since City of Heroes. Also, Perfect World is in charge, which means there will be 17 different currencies, but only one or two will matter, and those will be strictly timegated, requiring players to reach for mommy's credit card as soon as they hit top level.

Soothing Vapors posted:that's Statesman right? preemptive RIP Yeah. IMHO Emmert is a pretty cool guy with some interesting ideas, but not a very good grasp of what people actually want. Like, when City of Heroes launched, the ultimate power for the Empathy set gave an ally unlimited endurance (basically mana) for a minute but stunned the caster for 20 seconds. The top power for Super Reflexes set made you almost invincible for 45 seconds... but you couldn't attack. Who would want that?

In the City of Heroes fan release, all the stuff that was previously in the cash shop is now free (or at most it requires in-came currency, which flows like water at high levels). However, City was never a P2W game so this isn't at all unbalancing. It will be interesting to see what Marvel Heroes is like re-released by some dude for free, with all the cash items free.
