Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

"hm, I think I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque"
he was a cyborg rabbit named Death Paw
pretty bad-ass
I think it's mostly the combat - it feels so detatched and unresponsive. Half the time I can't tell if I'm winning a fight, losing a fight, in a fight, attacking someone, being attacked... I'd like to think it will get smoothed out in the beta, but I worry that the problems are just too integral.
Just the sheer amount and variety of heroes whipping around. I could sit for hours just clicking on people in the train station reading their background stories.
Really hoping I get into beta. I'm not a "hardcore" mmo type guy anymore but this game seems right up my alley and high on the creativity and fun factors.
Gotta ask you lucky enough to be in beta. Can you write out a background story for your character that others can read like in CoX?
Seems like a simple thing but I think it adds a lot to the fun.
I'll just have to give it a whirl myself some day, it sounds promising enough to give it a shot at least.

It's a video options setting.
I vote someone gives Pony a job in marketing, because he's making me want to play this more and more.
It really does sound like it is just vast improvements over CoH.
I never asked for this!
the trick is, level up one character really high
use /retcon to try the different powers out, while it's still free to do in the beta
decide on builds that way
My life pales cos I don't have this game.
I think that prehaps real Pony is gone, and a shill has taken possession of his remains.
I am hereby staking a claim to the creation of such a thread.
We're up to 100 pages. You can make it now if you want. Make sure to include a witty title.
This is the problem I always have with standard MMOs, that I did not have with CoX. The autoattack coupled with occasionally using your big attacks while autoattacking just made it feel really... detached. It's wasn't so bad if I was playing a support-style character who also could attack (like whatever it was I had in DAoC - a fighter/healer hybrid who fought with a staff), and it wasn't so bad in WAR with my Warrior Priest... but I always felt vaguely disassociated with what was happening in battles compared to CoX.
Now that I'm hearing CoH is more of a standard MMO playstyle with a superhero theme, I think I'll be waiting for a trial rather than actually buying it on release. The travel powers and the way the frameworks seem to work sounds amazing, though.
