[Focused Feedback: Shock Therapy (Build 1)]

All other Electric sets have Electric/Electrical in the name.  

 

So it is a drift.  

 

Electric Shock Therapy might be better if keeping the name is important. 

All the fire sets have Fire in the name, except Thermal Radiation. All the ice sets have Ice in the name, except Cold Domination. Support set names don't follow any pattern, for whatever reason.

What's "uncool?"

I believe this is Jimmy's incredibly British way of saying "don't be an asshole."

Sadly humans, as we both know, are rather tribal. The SCORE/Homecoming team and the Ourodev team do NOT like each other. HC dislikes Ourodev since one of their number was responsible for the leaking of the original secret server, I imagine this is where a lot of the trust issues come from and Ourodev dislike the SCORE/Homecoming team because they say they were responsible for essentially keeping the game out of players hands for six years and feel like it was a betrayal of trust.

What? The Ourodev people aren't the ones in conflict with Homecoming, and the guy who leaked A) cannot, to the best of my knowledge, code and B) has left the community altogether. Many of the servers that run Ouro's code don't like HC very much, particularly coxg, but they're not Ourodev.

What is most important is this is the first time NCSoft has made an overt move with regards to CoX since the HC and other servers went public.

This is not true; they also transferred the copyright internally in May. Neither has any impact on how NCSoft has every legal right to shut Homecoming down if they really want to.

can guarantee they do, however they wont for nda reasons

I imagine that if Jimmy were to say anything, he'd say "it's just a trademark refresh, everyone calm down". Of course, by acknowledging a non-story, you make it a story! :P

I don't think it's anything to worry about - they already own the game, we all know they own it, they don't need to do anything to shut us down other than send a C&D. It's a non-story.

I agree...they are not likely to do anything, and if so, they aren't to go after money (there isn't any).  My only point was that adding another Hulk isn't going to cause "more damage" or "more risk".  There won't be a suit for "each count" of the Hulk being on the databases...

All too true - those lawsuits cost money, you know! ;D

Because let's be clear...Marvel/DC aren't going to get money from HC, and are extremely unlikely to pursue end users (as likely that i would stop posting here), so the best they can get is shutting down the game

I don't know that their first line of attack would be to do that, anyway. I am not a lawyer, but I suspect they'd be happy enough if the team generic'd all IP-infringing characters and agreed to continue doing so going forward. In other words, I don't think it's an existential threat in the same way that NCsoft is.
