Whoo Hooo! Soooo Excited!!!

[Archived Post]

So awesome. Can't wait for the Celestial powerset!

[Archived Post]

Wow, sounds awesome. I was expecting a lame October event ala CoH to be honest. A new powerset, PvP mode, and possible lair or open mission? Sign me up!

I have a few questions, but I'll let those sit until more details are revealed.

[Archived Post]

Oh, man, this sounds awesome - and the announcement page looks great. Kudos, art team!

[Archived Post]

New Powerset? Cool by me!

[Archived Post]

Fascinating - bring it on - I'm levelling a dozen characters and only one or two have been flops - be nice to try more new stuff....wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

[Archived Post]

Cool , cant wait to see it.

[Archived Post]

Cool! Feels a little like the Warhammer live events, which were fun.

[Archived Post]

Looks like the werewolves are wearing t-shirts that are colored gray to match their fur. Still looks awesome.

[Archived Post]

Awesome!! First Page....!!!

EDIT: GAH!! someone got me... I am now on 2nd page......

[Archived Post]

I got chills from excitement. Oh wait it's just my cat rubbing against my leg.

But still I'm super excited!!!

[Archived Post]

Awesome!! First Page....!!!

EDIT: GAH!! someone got me... I am now on 2nd page......

Ahh! But you are 1st of the second page!! :)


Cant wait for the new event...ohhh...spooky!

Wow, I am so glad this is being worked on instead of stabilizing the current game and/or fixing the balance issues caused by the ******** overnerf.

Sigh...some people

[Archived Post]

Wow, I am so glad this is being worked on instead of stabilizing the current game and/or fixing the balance issues caused by the ******** overnerf.

Why do people not understand there a seperate teams for this? I garuntee a balance team isnt developing the first content patch, did you not expect a content patch? Have you never played an mmo before at launch?

[Archived Post]

Am I the only one that thought of Blackest Night when reading that? No? I didn't think so. Awesome, by the way.

[Archived Post]

Awesome!

I was not expecting new of this today but great job cryptic.

[Archived Post]

Fix the game before adding content. Thanks.

[Archived Post]

Thank you!

[Archived Post]

Am I the only one that thought of Blackest Night when reading that? No? I didn't think so. Awesome, by the way.

Yes I did in fact. Fallen heroes turned evil zombies is Epic win though. This event looks Awesome!

[Archived Post]

Awesome idea of including a new powerset into a holiday type event :) :)

[Archived Post]

Wow Its Launch And Your Working On Something New Already :D Cool ^^

[Archived Post]

Psst, no one cares when what we already have is still broken.

[Archived Post]

Wow, I am so glad this is being worked on instead of stabilizing the current game and/or fixing the balance issues caused by the ******** overnerf.

Fix the game before adding content. Thanks.

I wondered how many posts if would take before this started. New content is the lifeblood of an MMO. It would be stupid for them not be working on additional content.

[Archived Post]

I wondered how many posts if would take before this started. New content is the lifeblood of an MMO. It would be stupid for them not be working on additional content.

I agree with you. The new content is needed infact it may fill in all the content gaps there currently are when it comes to leveling etc. However, another powerset is being introduced, there are tons of broken powers and advantages already in the game that are either not working at all or doing something completely different then they are supposed to, but lo and behold you can't respec out of them because the retcon system is fubared beyond belief not just cost wise, so yeah your gonna get a ton more posts like those, because its true.

The powerhouse is ok, but for alot of powers you can't test them against a dummy because the dummy doesnt do what it does to a mob, so once you leave your toasted.

I mean ffs, I'm in the middle of grinding a pq for the 55th time and taking a break just so i can get to 32 because there isn't enough content.

[Archived Post]

Psst, no one cares when what we already have is still broken.

+1 for this. How to take an exciting game with lots of promise and hack off your entire community on launch day. You guys owe us an apology for this dreck!:mad:

[Archived Post]

Mmmmmm, want it all now lol :D

[Archived Post]

I wondered how many posts if would take before this started. New content is the lifeblood of an MMO. It would be stupid for them not be working on additional content.

I would love the new content, if I could complete it.

[Archived Post]

Psst, no one cares when what we already have is still broken.

They are going to fix what is broken, then you'll be ****ed that there's no new content. That's why briguy266 already mentioned that they have separate teams for new content, and for patching.

You've stated that you are displeased with the current patching, so the dev's will take note of that, but to write off future content because of a current patch? Seems very foolish, sir. Should be happy that AFTER THE FIX, there will be more fun to be had. :)

[Archived Post]

stop being an idiot, this is awesome and I would be willing to bet they will have the majority of the bugs gone by the time this is actually released.

[Archived Post]

Celestial powerset?

Exxxxxxxcellent...


EDIT: As long as they give full respecs so I don't have to remake my main to use them fully. >_<

[Archived Post]

Celestial powerset?

Exxxxxxxcellent...

My guild Angelus Viscus is an angel themed guild I guarantee you all 70 current and active members will be picking this up for a character when they launch the new power set.

You Rock Cryptic!

[Archived Post]

Looks really exciting! :D

Can't wait to try out that celestial framework. :)

[Archived Post]

no fun i already have a puppy toon , so if its bitten i still stay a puppy

looking foward to the new set ^_^ first set i see listed as HEAL your allies.

[Archived Post]

Well I hope they ahve the patch pedulum slowed by then. I have always prefered mystic encounters in Comics (hellblazer, sandman etc,) and this seems like my cup of tea. I also like the idea of the celestial power set. I was constantly trying to make that kind of a character using other power sets. It will be intersting to see if it fits what I had in mind or not. Regardless its time to lock a name :)

[Archived Post]

EDIT: As long as they give full respecs so I don't have to remake my main to use them fully. >_<


NO! The best way to kill this game is to give out full respecs. Alts keep a game alive, different builds keep this game alive. Taking a character to 40 and then just switching it to the FoTM or something new = death of CO.

[Archived Post]

so aside from the new celestial power set,is this blood moon a new zone or an event or something?

[Archived Post]

GottDAM, come October, new powerset? Already? Nice! Hm, I wonder if it'll also have anything along the lines of light blasts and such...

[Archived Post]

Thank you for the sexy new content coming Cryptic! :D

[Archived Post]

Yeah! This is gonna be sick! I cannot wait! :D

[Archived Post]

Yeah! This is gonna be sick! I cannot wait! :D

I'm excited too, but I just hope all the regular content is fixed before they put in new stuff.

[Archived Post]

This looks extremely fun. I hope all the little events like becoming a werewolf and the zombie PvP will always be available and are not a limited time event.

[Archived Post]

I am very excited as well! I must say the turning into a zombie part is what I am looking forward to the most... hehehe.

[Archived Post]

I'm excited too, but I just hope all the regular content is fixed before they put in new stuff.

I have faith that Cryptic will get the job done! :cool:

I've seen this argument against full respecs before and I don't agree with it. Creating alts comes out of a desire to play the game again, but from a new angle, or with a different set of skills--because you had so much fun leveling up your main. Alts are a fun variation on fun! In other words, if the MMO is fun, allowing full respecs isn't going to kill the desire to create alts.

But back to topic: the Blood Moon page looks sharp!

[Archived Post]

Celestial? With two flavors? Sounds like Kheldians...

Like the Marvel Zombies/Blackest Night sound of the hero zombies, would love to see an emphasis on them...

It's be awesome to see heroes with basic powers that a hero would have but then have them all have Bite and bestial fury :P

[Archived Post]

Way to go, Cryptic, that's totally an awesome event idea.

It really sounds like a pro comic event or "crisis" ( uh, well it is John Layman), can't wait.

Patriot Black is a superhero zombie... from the battle of Detriot... Get outta my head! ;)

[Archived Post]

Excellent, i'll freeze off some zombie parts!

[Archived Post]

Does this mean I will be able to turn into Shortwolf or WereBus or umm... rawrrrr :)

[Archived Post]

Now I can be killed by henchmen in new ways!!!!(Sarcasm)

fix the game, then I might care.

[Archived Post]

wait what?..fix the dang game that you have before thinking about adding new crap..

[Archived Post]

This sounds awesome, I can't wait!

[Archived Post]

Always up for more content. :)

[Archived Post]

What a cool game release, day 1 and an awesome event is announced. Totally hyped for this game, I was thinking about playing **** too when it comes out, but there's no point this game can easily eat up all the free time I want it to eat up.

I've not seen this in a PvP online game before, but it could have happened before. Bad guys kill you and turn you into zombies and you have to fight as a zombie on the other side. Werewolf infects you and you gotta fight as a werewolf. I mean actually become zombie and werewolf. So cool!

[Archived Post]

Kudos on the event! Sounds like a good one. The new powerset sounds great too!

But about that zombie girl in the foreground of the page (http://www.champions-online.com/promo/bloodmoon/bloodmoon.html). Was she a former superhero, or a dancer from "Club Jugs" downtown (because, you know, the two look so alike in general ... not that I'm complaining or anything)?

[Edit] On further inspection I appear to have answered my own question, since those look like other superheroes who have fallen to zombies and hence risen as same.

Nevermind :)

[Archived Post]

Yay zombies!

Yay killing zombies!

Yay becoming a zombie...... wait..... yeah.....

Yay making other people become zombies!

[Archived Post]

G-g-g-g-g-g-grabbin Peelz!

[Archived Post]

As long as current problems getting fixed is a priority.
Would hate to see the game going the way of old problems being ignored while new content is handed out as pacifiers.
Big bad patch in the morning, content update announced in the evening ;)

Ah well more stuff to do is always good.
More powers are always good (even though I thought angelic stuff was covered by supernatural?)
And looking forward to seeing what that turning into wolfies is going to be like

[Archived Post]

I'm as ****ed off as the next guy about the patch today, but give me a break people... new content is good.

[Archived Post]

Woot, looks good. I just bought thru Steam, looks like I didn't make a mistake.

[Archived Post]

A patch fix will give you a good weak worth of enjoyment, a content patch will give you a games worth :)

[Archived Post]

wait what?..fix the dang game that you have before thinking about adding new crap..

The game being broken is a matter of opinion. As many have said they liked it better this way. Stop being ignorant.

[Archived Post]

This looks fricken sick
can't wait!

[Archived Post]

Psst, no one cares when what we already have is still broken.

God you are such a troll.

This looks so good, I for one am excited....still want to goto the actual moon as well though;)

[Archived Post]

This looks like the coolest halloween event out of any MMO I've played before, and it's your first one! I can't wait!

[Archived Post]

I love that CCR song.

I've seen a blood moon rising.

[Archived Post]

I can tell you from experience across multiple MMOs. If all they did was fix what's broken, the game is doomed to die. Both new content and bug fixes are needed. I'm betting bug fixes will come a lot faster, as it is, than content. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw weekly patches until most of the big problems are fixed.

I'm really looking forward to the celestial powerset, though. I have a character concept I can't do yet because of the current powersets don't have anything that quite fits, I'm hoping this does.

[Archived Post]

:DI think i just pee'd myself a little:D
Nah but all jokes aside this event will be awesome, i cant wait till i get the chance to kick some werewolf tail.

[Archived Post]

This looks amazing, don't pay attention to the whiners who miss god-mode. I still kill everything fine, I just actually get hurt a little in the process.

[Archived Post]

This looks so sweet! Can't wait! PEELZ HERE.

[Archived Post]

Wow that looks cool, I have to wonder if we get infected with lycanthropy will it 'stick' after the event or is it something that if you haven't cured it during the event will it just vanish when the event does? Playing out a cursed hero after the event could be great fun.

[Archived Post]

Oh man, now I have to rethink my main after the Celestial powerset comes along :(

[Archived Post]

This looks really nice, can't wait

If I make a werewolf character ready for the event will she become a were-werewolf if she gets infected? :p

[Archived Post]

Why do people not understand there a seperate teams for this? I garuntee a balance team isnt developing the first content patch, did you not expect a content patch? Have you never played an mmo before at launch?

You lie! Why, everyone knows there's only 3 people on the entire Cryptic staff and they do everything!
/sarcasm off

Psst, no one cares when what we already have is still broken.

The large number of people cheering about this obviousely shows you are wrong. Another example of the old adage, "Tis better to keep your mouth closed and be thought wise, then open it and remove all doubt."

Wow that looks cool, I have to wonder if we get infected with lycanthropy will it 'stick' after the event or is it something that if you haven't cured it during the event will it just vanish when the event does? Playing out a cursed hero after the event could be great fun.

Awww, man, I hadn't thought of that! That'd be REAL fun wouldn't it! Well, except for the people griping because they didn't want to be werewolves, and thus the event is broken and needs to be fixed by making them uber super gods or something. Bleh. Screw 'em. I'm looking forward to this event!

[Archived Post]

Sweet! I wonder what the whole "bitten by a werewolf, become a werewolf, fall to a zombie and become a zombie" will be like and how/if it will play out though :o

[Archived Post]

Wow that looks cool, I have to wonder if we get infected with lycanthropy will it 'stick' after the event or is it something that if you haven't cured it during the event will it just vanish when the event does? Playing out a cursed hero after the event could be great fun.

That would be awesome.

[Archived Post]

Wow, I am so glad this is being worked on instead of stabilizing the current game and/or fixing the balance issues caused by the ******** overnerf.

Some people you could hand a bag with 5 million dollars in $100 bills and they would complain that it weighs too much and its too hard to spend Hundreds...

[Archived Post]

And that they have to drag it back through South Central. :D

[Archived Post]

Oh man, now I have to rethink my main after the Celestial powerset comes along :(

Full retcons are a go.

[Archived Post]

Wow almost a full day into launch and already the curmudgeons start curmudgeoning. Cryptic is a reliable company with an extensive amount of experience. I would reccomend that those of you that are upset by the glitches have patience but, that would be like talking to a wall. Every and I repeat EVERY game ever launched has had bugs and issues at launch to some degree. This launch is one of the best I've taken part of.
I issue a challenge to those of you that are griping about the problems to sit down, develop a game, write the several million lines of code for it, set up the servers, beta test it for 6 months, revise everything you've done, and launch it without error. Or, even easier name an MMO that has ever launched flawlessly.

[Archived Post]

Full retcons are a go.

If you have the swiss bank behind you then yes they are a go I think. I would love to have it though.

About your challenge, it always irks me when people say that. People say the same thing about movies and almost everything else. The reason why we don't make games for a living is because we cannot. Remember, just because you cannot do something does not mean that you cannot critique it. Just because we cannot make an MMO, does not mean that we cannot expect the people that make it to do a good job at it.

You do not go to a good restaurant and not complain when the food is not to your liking, even though you cannot cook the same food to your liking even if you had the supplies. Same applies for everything else, there is a reason why only certain people can do certain jobs.

What am I trying to say? Well firstly I really do feel that your challenge was not well thought out before you put it up. Anyways that being said, I do agree with you on the part that bugs and all these changes will happen to an MMO. Just like that, people will also always complain. Some will be very valid, some will be utterly pointless, but that does not mean it will stop.

I for one hold companies to very high standards, because they are taking my money, and a few hundreds of thousands of other peoples'. I expect them to be perfect. Is it unfair of me? Most likely. But why should I expect anything less than excellence when I have put my money into it. You do not put your money into something and not expect a great return of value.

From being on these forums and reading about all games, not just this one, and everything to do with the gaming industry. I fear that people and media have become a little too complacent and apathetic. I mean I find that you cannot trust any news outlet on games, because one way or the other they will be biased. Then when you come to game forums, specially pre-launch, you get two types of people. The fanboys, that will defend the companies actions even if it were killing babies. Then the exact opposite that will do everything in their power to make the company look Satan incarnate, even if the company was the Host of Heaven.

This might not be the best place for this rant, but regardless, I wrote it.

On Topic: I can't wait for this event :D

[Archived Post]

Despite being nerfed i am looking forward to this :D

Whoever did art for that ROCKS!!!!

SHEESH! First damn day of the game and we're already treated to what's on the horizon. Very nice :)

i saw the page cryptic it looks awsome

but but why not post a vid and put it up on test server so we can play with it

This looks like a job for Demarcus Were.

there are a total of 12 screenshots with this announcement out of which only 5 of them are listed here . ^_^ i just got to see all 12 and Takofanes is one scary guy

[Archived Post]

Guys, guys ,guys hey guys...you all know how to make an announcement and make it darn well!

I'm really excited by the info I received and really happy your 1st content update is going to be quite meaningful to the overall game.

Cheers CO Team

[Archived Post]

Ooh another reason to look forward to October :D (first being my birthday :P)
Time to plan my 'Celestial' character ^^

( and loving the art style on the preview page for it )

[Archived Post]

Wow the game just came out and already a huge event... I love Champions Online already!

[Archived Post]

(even though I thought angelic stuff was covered by supernatural?)


Actually I think Sorcery has the current angelic powers under that of the Radiant line and it also covers some demonic powers as well with the Necromantic line. The bulk of demonic powers though are in Darkness with zombies and werewolves getting their powers from Supernatural I believe. Still this brings forward the idea of more varied powersets down the road, like maybe one where they take all the pets out of Gadgeteering for their own powerset.

[Archived Post]

I think I pooped a little.

People need to stop being such Debbie Downers.

[Archived Post]

eyyyyy, new powersets already! This is promising.

[Archived Post]

cant wait til all the people realize cryptic didnt just make this game for their 'awesome kill everything, receive no damage' build..notice it seems like its all the PVPers complaining too..ive paid attention to all the builds, and it isnt that bad...last week it was the exp...next week it will be something else...settle down geez..give it a month or 2 to get all the kinks worked out, and be glad you even got to play at all!!!!
for a first day of launch, it went exceptionally well!!!
and i am intrigued by this event..hopefully it will have some low and high-end content..either way ill be there!
have some faith people...its only just begun!

Sounds friggin awesome and i'm so looking forward to it.

So is this only going to be a temporary halloween thing or what?

WHAT’S TO COME
Today we’re announcing our plans for Blood Moon – our first FREE update to the game. We’re diving right in to making more content for you, but I don’t want to spoil the awesome job the crew did on the announcement page, so keep your eyes on the website

[Archived Post]

Awesome! cant wait :D

[Archived Post]

Wow new content!!!! Cannot wait! :D

Really awesome the announcement page! Great art! :eek:

[Archived Post]

Looks like the werewolves are wearing t-shirts that are colored gray to match their fur. Still looks awesome.
Yea there really needs to be a range of Fur tops and bottoms with different Pattern settings. I tried to make a Were-type char for my Claws guy but I could never really get him to look right. Those new sets would fix that right up though.

[Archived Post]

I am excited by this and can't wait to see what you guys have in store.

[Archived Post]

New content already! Awesome!

[Archived Post]

Wow, I am so glad this is being worked on instead of stabilizing the current game and/or fixing the balance issues caused by the ******** overnerf.

So, you want the content team to work on balance and stabilisation issues? Sure, we'll just get the marketing department to do the coding while we're at it and hire some squirrels to GM.

I don't think you were censored for being homosexual, I think you were censored for being a moron.

[Archived Post]

Wow, sounds awesome. I was expecting a lame October event ala CoH to be honest. A new powerset, PvP mode, and possible lair or open mission? Sign me up!

I have a few questions, but I'll let those sit until more details are revealed.

I'm not saying this doesn't sound awesome; I'm totally excited for the Blood Moon Rising event. I just thought the CoH Halloween events were always a blast and got better each year. Maybe we can at least agree that both of these events are much more creative and eye-grabbing than anything WoW has ever done for the holidays.

Go new power framework! Yay yay yay!

[Archived Post]

That is a really nice announcement page guys, good job!
Werwolf curse thing eh, sounds pretty sweet. do we get to infect others with it when we get it or is it just a costume change?

Sometimes there's a post with such humor, candor, and honesty, it deserves a five star rating. Sir, you definitely earned that today.

Uhm since one of my main alts is a werewolf should I stay at home since everyone will want to pound on me ;p Nah! looks too much fun, sign me up!

Yeah I read that part too :p

I was trying to find out specifically because well honestly at the moment it seems like a halloween thing, awesome one, but possibly temporary seeing as it involves the established areas and such, and all that, so wanted to ask if it was temporary or permanent.
Even if it's just an event, it sounds great.

What's that on the horizon? (http://www.champions-online.com/promo/bloodmoon/bloodmoon.html)

I'm looking forward to Blood Moon.

That's so Blackest Night. :) Anyways. Like it.

I'm intrigued by this implied PVP Zombie mode...

[Archived Post]

I'm liking the sound of this Zombie PVP.

[Archived Post]

If you have the swiss bank behind you then yes they are a go I think. I would love to have it though.

Good, people shouldn't be able to change at the drop of a hat. Besides, by end game people start rolling in resources so a great money sink is always a good thing.

I think I pooped a little.

People need to stop being such Debbie Downers.

Indeed. The fact Cryptic is working this fast is outstanding.

eyyyyy, new powersets already! This is promising.

Hehe, I think there is probably more coming than just that. But that's a hunch.

Hopefully temporary and one time only. I like it when special events and there rewards are... you know, actually special.

[Archived Post]

ummmm....Ahem....Ah...Slight Problem here

And I quote

A second more concentrated attempt managed to drive Takofanes from the battlefield, but he could not be defeated. Now Takofanes has returned once again with hordes of his minions, citing prophecies of doom and proclaiming his coming reign over humanity!


So why the hell did he leave?

intriguing

looking forward to the new powers lets hope they arent lame remasked versiaon of the other sorcery type things

[Archived Post]

Thank you for re-affirming my joy of purchasing lifetime membership on Monday.

However, please give us some way to do a full respec either before you implement new powers or power sets, or give us some way to do a full respec when you give the new powers. Thanks! :)

Perfect post Lucifer - I couldn't agree more.

Werewolves ! - \o/

Blood Moon reads like one of the EU coh Halloween suggestion threads (before their Zombie Apocalypse was implemented ) and that was based on Marvel Zombies with players and AVs infecting other players!.
Great work!, (and gorgeous work Art team btw) - I look forward to Takofane's return every Halloween.

I'm sure the work is being delegated about the changes and subsequent uproar yesterday (justified in my opinion) - so I'll just say great job and hopefully everything wil be ok noOoOooOw.

What's with all the QQ'ing of supposed "busted" powers. Many of my powers got nerfed because guess what...they were overpowered. *sniff sniff* the game just got harder, what am i going to do?? Try using some strategy to down your enemies for a start.

Can't wait for this event Cryptic, and don't listen to the whiners who aren't pleased with the slight increase in difficulty.

[Archived Post]

I love this last patch...I want more nerfs coming it brings skill to the game that it never had...keep the nerfs coming, a Flat 50pct on passives is what would should been done...and for god sakes Boss fights make them imaginative..no excuse in todays MMO to stand there and beat on the boss...great idea for content but fix bugs polish the game first then give us all the content we want were paying $15 in today's economy yes make the game the best it can be there's no excuse in today's mmo's to even half half the problems you do..remeber guys you have 30days to fix these little issues that have no excuse to be broken before everyone leaves the game...think about it.

Takofanes? *squee*

Oh yeah... the Champions Universe is really here. I'm happy I stuck with it, even if I couldn't get the lifetime subscription because of bad monetary timing. :D

[Archived Post]

The entire update excites me since I am a big fan of mystical heroes in the Marvel and DC universe.

[Archived Post]

Blood Moon Rising looks real exciting. Not the first things I'd have wanted added to the game. But nevertheless, looks like good fun content! Especially interested in more details about the new framework.

This sounds awesome! Especially the PVP zombies thing! Champions Online meet Left for Dead ...

[Archived Post]

I was just looking over the new add-on Blood Moon and i checked out the pics (look cool btw) and I could not stop to notice that the werewolves kinda look like my character exactly!! I know that this is of no concern to ppl that have a non-werewolf char but to us that do I think it makes us look kinda UN-UNIQUE . I think that with Blood Moon they finally have a chance to improve on the beast costume options which lacks considerably IMO. SO i would like to see some new werewolf and other beast addons for heads, legs, tails etc. I don't have anything against the current wolf head but it would be nice if there were more to choose from and some more customization to them. Oh and as a side note please also add some powers that would match a beast toon i don't want to be forced to use might (werewolves don't punch ) and martial arts is not really a choice either.

since I am short I think when I turn into a werewolf I will have a battle cry of...
Da da duh duh da DAAAAAA PUPPY POWER!

Well this just looks really cool.

It sounds like you could become a zombie or a werewolf and a new powerset already too.

This is sort of the level of frequent update I was hoping for from Cryptic.

Sounds like it will be alot of fun and can't wait to get defeated by zombiers in PvP and bittne by a werewolf so I can become a zombie/werewolf/super hero!

[Archived Post]

I wonder, will Robotic characters be turned into zombies and werewolves... seems we wouldn't be affected by the diseases of the flesh. Course, then again, there could always be a techromancer with nanobot swarms that could affect the electronics of a robot to behave like a zombie, but turning them into a werewolf seems a little far fetched.

i am going to agree with Johnny.

Infact I still think its too easy to defeat Black Talon in the tutorial. tried out ego powers last night and wooped him before Defender fell over. he's supposed tof all and tell you that "You're going to have to defeat Black Talon alone." I mean you don;t want the bosses too tough but at least a couple of minutes to make it feel like you struggled a bit lol.

[Archived Post]

Despite the nerf patch this is quite intresting.

A good question would be infected players can change back without having to be defeated?

[Archived Post]

I love events...and this one sounds like it'll be a blast! Great job Cryptic, and kudos to the content team...they rolled this one out quickly!

[Archived Post]

This is great! I'm anxious to fight some undead heroes. I'm also curious as to whether or not we keep control of our zombie counterparts for an small amount of time before respawning. Reminds me of that Marvel undead series to a small extent. Kudos to Cryptic for new content so quickly after launch.

Takaofanes is a Lich dating back to the Prehistory of the Entire World, his Magical prowess is greater and stronger then any feeble Mechanics or Lupine Curse.

Of course the real reason is, simply programming it in to differentiate those kind of characters would be a nightmare.. But seriously, Takofanes, pretty bad ass.

Wow, they're adding an entire powerset? Permanently? Just for a holiday event? You usually have to wait for an expansion that you have to pay for in order to get that.
I personally have no interest in it, but it's awesome that they're doing that, and makes me wonder if they have any more new powersets planned.. there are allready a ton to choose from.
I'm hopping for one similar to the Mastermind set in CoV, where you can choose from several different types of minions, etc.

Celestial powerset?

Exxxxxxxcellent...


EDIT: As long as they give full respecs so I don't have to remake my main to use them fully. >_<

OR, you could <gasp> make a new alt. ;)

[Archived Post]

Yeah, retconning(sp?) should be limited in my opinion. That way people have reason to make or remake characters and play through content again. If you can max out a character, completely change look and every power ever, besides a new name, why make a new character ever? Why level ever again?

Anyways, I'm getting off the point. KUDOS Cryptic for not only keeping your word, but making such haste with it, and in a holiday event to boot! This looks awesome, and is an extremely important and powerful step in the right direction. Thanks guys!

I guess i'm the only one who realizes that as my character looks exactly like the werewolves in the pics i'll be fighting myself over and over again which is kinda weird. I wish they implemented some new costume pieces for beast toons and some beast powers since it's really hard to maintain a theme with those. BTW no werewolves don't punch and no verewolves don't kick or use swords (unless you intend your toon to do that then it's fine). The event looks cool i'm not saying it does not but fighting myself is not that cool. I wanted to be relatively unique and now (besides the fact that there are other players who have almost the same looking toon as me) a whole event with creatures that look like me. Well i guess most of you don't care about that though, only those that actually use beast toons know how annoying it actually is to see that they did not even bother to create some "NEW" werewolves but used the ones from the character creator which i find is quite cheap of them.

[Archived Post]

So awesome. Can't wait for the Celestial powerset!

GAH. I -really- have to put off leveling my "main" now. An angelic support oriented powerset?

This Expansion is going to suck to hell with this defense nerf still active.

Yes, it seems that Cryptic is really rearing theyre ugly heads , cheap heads and poor inconsiderate decision makers with respect to the casual pve players.

I myself will continue to voice my displeasure and discontent with the path they are trying to take.

Force players to team.

A more proper Expansion would be to expand back the defense capability up to what it used to be.

This Blood Moon crap is just smoke and mirrors, its not going to work on me..

It can't be that hard to figure out some new types of heads for beasts, if they lack ideas they should check out DEVIANT ART it's a great site for IDEAS. The whole beast concept is still not by far on par with any other concept out there IMO. For example who many powers could I as a werewolf take and still maintain my theme? Now once you have this answer tell me how many of those are actually useful in game? After those "filters" you will notice that you are pretty much stranded with might based atks although i have never seen a werewolf focus on punching someone O_o. It really makes no sense and it would be far more appropriate with this event to actually do something about those things. More diversity for beast char and abilities that reflect beast atks. IMO they should primarily be focused on stun, knock-back, fear and bleeding. Oh and it would be nice if they would fix Bestial Fury since after the first "claw" atk connects the animation looks like punching. An easy way to change it would be to add to it the animation of melee ice demons they have some really nice looking melee claw atks, It can't be that hard to change an animation to another that already exists can it?

Glad Champions is bringing the Celestial Power Set along with other Nephilim to the fray. I will definitely be respeccing my hero Nephilim (named before even knowing this release) with some if not all of the Celestial Power set :) :cool:

I would prefer they proliferate basic facial control before reaching too far out. As it stands, many of the faces aside from simian(which makes an appearance on Silverback's model) do not deform or animate at all. It's something I can wait for, though.

Getting back to the halloween event, I'd love to see a magic zone.

The fact that they are putting out a new powerset and what seems to be a major event so soon after launch is a very good sign for the future of Champions Online!

[Archived Post]

NO! The best way to kill this game is to give out full respecs. Alts keep a game alive, different builds keep this game alive. Taking a character to 40 and then just switching it to the FoTM or something new = death of CO.

New content looks cool. I like the idea of a new powerset thrown in there. Hopefully they'll have some cool story arc for it.

@Captain_Force

Hmm... you establish in your post that you don't like horror flick content and that moreover you don't want to see that kind of thing in Champions Online. That's fair enough, after all, that's just personal preference.

What I find questionable is how you've quite authoritatively claimed that policing occult night terrors is somehow not a worthy task for superheroes and better relegated to "monster hunters". By extension, this implies that superheroes can't also be monster hunters, but I assure you that the reality is quite the contrary.

Blade - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_%28comics%29
Doctor Strange - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Strange
Doctor Fate - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Fate
Werewolf by Night - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werewolf_by_Night
Ghost Rider - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Rider_%28comics%29

And those are all well known comics. You may not care for the horror element but sorcery and the occult have been a part of comic books for almost as long as there have been comic books, they're integral to any superhero Universe. It's a part of the Champions Universe too, and that content is there for those superheroes who have chosen to combat such night terrors, just as there is content for those who prefer to go up against robotic, militaristic, and/or mutate threats (to name but a few).

Do you expect people to be 40, 35+, 30+, ect to be able to complete all of the event content? i am asking this as there will be no Commissioner to level bump folks to 40 like in the end of beta event, at least i expect there will not be. It would be nice to have an advanced warning of the events level range so that the achievement junkies (me included) can make sure that we have a toon, or toons, at the necessary level range to complete all of the event. I am not looking for specifics on the event; ie perks, unlocks, ect, just the expected level range.
