It also said somewhere...if you have a respec token from last issue...use it before I14 otherwise you will lose it as you can only have 1 at a time...

So...who's going to be an "Architect" ?

tempted to get this on steam, as I always found the plaync server really slow, and no disc, grrrrrr. Or not to get it at all?

Or find out which server Mordeth is on and harrass him. I think he's the only 5punker playing at the moment. CoH isn't much fun solo.

Well...back home and sub expired. I played a bit at my sisters with an on-board video, 1gb RAM, PC Speaker...PC. I'm suprised CoX played on it although I kept it on min graphics as it came to a halt with a full group.

I've played with the mission thingy a bit. Its quite cool if you want/can spend the time to create your own minions/Lts/Boss then create the whole storyline for the mish. As far as I could tell...the interface is quite simple to use...a 5punk theme would be awesome but would take some time to do it justice although you can save/publish it as a "work in progress".

As always, it seems the CoX community tends to exploit new things like this to powerlevel. Make a simple outdoor map with tons of LT's on every corner and its quick XP for everyone. All toons can be adjusted to a certain lvl for the mish and therefore no need to sk/lackey.

I haven't had the chance to play a full blown creative mish yet. There's a search/rating system to find mishs although, its hard to find groups on Guardian or Freedom. The new Issue did NOT bring back many people as the server status's are still LOW and vary rarely is Freedom and Virtue on a medium load.

I'm not re-subing for a bit...but if there ever was a 5punky interest in making a mish...I would have no choice but to re-sub eventually.

Hehe...I was just thinking thet 5punk could be a Hero or Arch-Villain. Too bad Grimmie would be limited to CoX's graphics...

:ahoy:

btw Pants...I'm on Guardian and Freedom mostly only playing Brutes/Villains.

I decided to go and poke about in CoH a bit.

Apparently I14 broke the economy, and filled the game with retards.


Seems that the mission architect stuff resulted in pretty much constant farming, resulting in a lot of people not having a clue about much, and rarely leaving atlas. (2pm US time, there were 2 atlas city instances, both filled with farm spam)

Also, due to the way they did it, it resulted in lots of extremely rich people paying *lots* for previously quite common items, I made 30 million inf in 5 minutes selling spare crap that was maybe worth 250k when we were playing. (I had 200 mil before starting, and back in the day that was retardly rich)


Apparently they're trying to fix it with I16, but I'm not hopeful from what I saw.
