  1. If you want a solo MMO go play Black Dessert Online. But I can say from personal experience, it's boring and very dull. It gets very old, very fast, and incentivizing 'solo play' would kill almost all 'team play' making almost every team activity impossible to start, or even do. Look at Champions Online for an example of that. It did just what you are talking about and it's now a dead, or dying game.
  2. I honestly think both games had/have their Pros and Cons. And both are 'good' in their own way. The do vary in some key areas, but without that variation, you would have nothing but a cloned game, maybe with some updated graphics. CoH/CoV had: Better and more rewarding team play Better overall map design Better character choice (Choose Hero or Choose Villain) And the moral compass in me can't forget the lack of MTX CO had: Better selection of costume parts(Most locked behind expensive MTX) More definitive 'gear' over the 'Enhancements' that CoH/CoV has Vehicles and Vehicle 'End game' raids (Also accompanied by MTX) (Though why some 'Super Heroes' need a vehicle is beyond me. You never saw Superman driving in a car normally) Teaming up was usually reserved for 'end game' raids, and near the end of the game it was more; 'Hop in an alert queue over and over to level as fast as possible then wait in more and longer queues to try and get the raid you wanted/needed' Oh and the voice overs, please for the love of everything unholy, I wish I could forget those horrible cheesy voice overs Personally I think CO was more 'geared' to attract the 'WoW Population' and CoH/CoV was more tailored to the gamer/hero/MMO audience. It was all a shift in 'gaming culture' that made the 2 different. On a side note; 'MTX' means 'Micro-Transactions'. Just for those that don't know what that term is.
  3. Except with Vent it didn't require you to make an account filled with info they could easily sell to 3rd parties to pay for their servers. No, no, no. Discord is not the answer.
  4. I vote Excel simply because my highest level character which I RP the mannerisms of it on.
  5. Thanks. Just joined Discord. The benefit of forum notifications though is that we don't have to sign in anything to see the notice. I second this. Also, some people may not be able to run Discord due to *ahem* corporate policies... but can still run the game... a forum sticky that showed server status would be REALLY nice. And some may choose to not support Discord at all due to Discords corporate policies. So yeah here would be helpful as well.
  6. I second this motion. It would be useful to have some info on what is going on with what. And after experiencing some very odd things with Excel today/tonight, it would seem to me, that it would be kind of a necessity to inform those who are in the dark of whats up.
  7. On my defender 'Cryptech' (which is based off of a Warhammer 40k Necron Support Lord), I do RP while on that character. It is on the Excel server. But I have remade that same character on the Torch and Everlasting servers as well. So if any one sees me around, expect some odd responses to simple things.
  8. Add my name to the list, along with my character on Excel 'Cryptech', that has/is seeing this happen. Was trying to do a mission with a radio team and the whole team got stuck in the door. We see if we can log out to clear it, and now I'm seeing that error.
  9. I was just in Excel and got 'mapserved' out. But I am both glad for the game to be active again. And happy to see the team behind this blessing doing what they are doing. In time, we will have, one would hope, a stable gameplay experience just like the old days. Frustrations are understandable, but so early in this test they are a necessary evil.
  10. I was in-game at 5:00 (mountan time). Went to get some dinner, got back and ate. Got in the queue at 6:30. Was able to get back in-game at 9:30. Had a tiny power flicker at 10:50 and I'm back in the queue again for what looks to be like another 3 hours. There has to be some kind of balance so the wait time can be cut down. I understand the need and the requirement of the queue to keep the servers from experiencing what may look like a mock 'DDOS attack'. But 3 hours is a bit much when unexpected things like a power flicker can kill 6 hours of playtime.
  11. When a 'corporation that shall not be named' wrongfully ended my ability to play CoH/CoV I was justifiably upset. But now I can come back and enjoy the game once more. If nothing else, you guys have given me some amount of 'closure'. I can only give you guys my thanks for this chance. But I hope that is enough. Thank you.
  12. I played the following MMOs. Though the order may not be accurate. Everquest Ultima Online Anarchy Online NeoCron City of Heroes/City of Villains (briefly and ended with a random banning just after the release of CoV) EvE Online Guild Wars World of Warcraft (extremely briefly and ended with an unjust random banning in the vanilla) Anarchy Online Age of Conan Hellgate London Planetside The Sims Online Everquest 2 Planetside 2 Champions Online Star Trek Online Star Wars: The Old Republic Path of Exile DC Universe Online Black Desert Online NeoCron Evolution Warcraft Online (And a bunch of random others too forgettable to remember)
  13. I made an 'Angel' like character with the natural origin and I don't think an angel would need a heavy handed backstory to explain their abilities. I think magick can explain a lot more than some of the others can. It's a wider range topic than tech, science, mutant, or natural.
  14. I had this happen just as me and my team completed an AE mission. Then could not leave the map. After I tried relogging it was the 'unknown' location.
  15. Was: 'Burning Rage@Wandering_Mania'. Now: Just 'Burning Rage' on the rad, I mean red side. It's good to be back.
