A Positive thread about CO

[Bacon Overlord®]

It's amazing to me how just a few people can tear down a game like Champions Online like they do.

I've seen a couple negative reviews.. so I read them. One person said they didn't like the game because nothing lasted more than 2 minutes. No kidding, that was what they posted. They had only ever seen alerts and thought that was the whole game... and that deserved a negative "thumbs-down" review. When I responded to their negative review and calmly corrected them (so anyone reading it would have the right information), they became belligerent and said they just didn't like the game.. yet they had played for over 300 hours. When I asked why, a game they play for over 300 hours, would be a game they don't like.. they said because they don't play it. The kids in their house do and it "might" not be a good game for hardcore gamers. You know, becuase the person posting was such a "hard core gamer" that they didn't even understand how the game works.

Another negative post I saw was someone ragequitting the game because there was no "new content".

Yet, just in the last year, there have been (just off the top of my head):
40 new vehicles
30 new mods for vehicles created
New fusion process for vehicles
New gear (legion)
20 New Action figures
At least 30 New becomes
New powers
30 new auras
New aura storage
3 new events
New alerts
Hundreds of new costume unlocks
New costume sets
New lockboxes
New Questionite and Drifter Salvage boxes
New gear (justice)
New weapons for vehicles
New balancing changes for crit (new calculation also)
New balancing changes for dodge/avoid
Updates to legacy devices and how they are used
Lots of bug fixes
Changes to hideouts
Changes to MC (vehicle races, holiday events, etc)

The list literally goes on and on and on. But this person was dead-set on their misguided angry juvenile post about how there was no new content. So, what do I do? I posted some of what had been added just in the last year. Know what they said? They never said they didn't like the game. They just don't like that nothing has happened with it. You mean beyond those things I typed?!?!

Folks..

If you don't like a game.. just type "I don't like this game". Better yet, just say it to yourself and go play something else. But these immature rage-quit threads and the whining... the epic whining about things people say hasn't happened with the game. Are getting old.

Yes, there has been new content. Yes, there have been balances to PVP. Yes, there are planned changes to the game.. just like there have been changes literally every other month. Yes, there are new powers planned, new auras, new gear, etc. No, the game isn't "dead". There are thousands of people logging in a day... Yes there are things to do besides alerts, they are called "missions". Yes, there is a ton of stuff to do when you hit 40.

Questions? ASK!!!! Don't assume... You know what they say about assuming. And, believe me, it applies doubly when you post some misguided completely wrong information in this forum. Why? Because quite a few people that are veterans of the game are going to set you straight and make you look silly.

It's best if you just ask.....

Chances are.. someone may be able to actually HELP you with the situation you were just about to leave the game about.

Great job putting all those info together :) Hopefully, they'll balance out the negativity. After all, this is a great game that many others need to try at least :)

I just want to know where all these 30 becomes in the past year are... i've been trying to collect them all since i started in...2011? Unless the same become is counted additionally for each colour variation?

[Milktray]

oh its a LTS account so the only thing I have to pay for now is extra's .. which there seem to be alot of lol

I started a Elec toon anyway, well a FF version. I wrote down every skill the Electric AT gets then started a FF version toon, noticed the skills you get are a bit different and saw earlier on different toon that at 6 as FF you get a wide choice of skills. I guess it's a case of take whatever sounds good and later weed out the mistakes. Elec has good visuals tho.

Hmm.. i'm not sure what you mean then, with wanting to 'correct' something if you go FF.

If you're an LTS, then in my opinion, being FF can never go wrong. Even if you have no idea how to build.. just copy a AT build you like, and then you still have room for a few more powers.

I have some items like Millenial Flight, clothing unlocks etc and they are all bound with a grey mark on them, I can't move them or do anything with them .. anyone else have this?

Oh by weed out the mistakes i meant change any powers which were maybe not the best picks i could have made.

I just drag and drop them outside of my inventory bags to delete them every time I create a new mule. They are just reminders.

I wouldn't mind that .. simple to deal with, these i can't move. Drag n Drop doesn't work, I tried left / right click and get a message saying that this item is already bound etc

[Bacon Overlord®]

Strange. Sounds like a glitch maybe. I'd do a ticket.

Ah.. then as a Freeform, you should only ever wish to be using 'retcon' tokens, or paying globals ingame to remove powers untill you get to the power/ability you wanted to fix..

If you ever go the way of the retcon token, note there is both a retrain token and retcon. retrain will convert your freeform into any other AT, and vice versa.. one use per token, and retcon just resets your points.

A lot of people still seem confused about the difference, If i didn't make sense, then perhaps someone else could help explain it better.

[Milktray]

Thanks both .. Bacon i'll submit a ticket

Skcarkden, i'll avoid the Retrain's .. I can see why people mix them up though.

[mahfoz]

i really support you , these guys who just hate it doesn't even know it.

like an example : there is a new game called neverwinter , i sware in god that the biggest hours played of (thumps-down) post is 1 hour , but all the (thumps-up) posts are from 300-600 hours.

I Read What You Posted and I whole Heartedly agree with all of it. I Do Have 1 Question However. Did The Option To Play as a Villian ever get added?
