Pattern Ghost Posted June 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 It looks like CO is NOT going to roll out the changes on June 7th. Seems like they do care enough to listen to feedback on how that'd screw over Gold subscribers. Somewhat promising news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptPatriot Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I've heard some griping. There was that much pushback about the change? Good for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Yeah, their forum fairly blew up about it, and their discord I think (I don't do discord). I'm not sure what to think of the situation, to be honest. It seems like it may just be a directive from PWE to get rid of subscription models across its games, but it's hard to imagine the Cryptic team didn't realize what this would do to Gold subscribers with regard to accessing their freeforms. (They'd have to convert them to an archetype to continue playing the character. I can't believe that anyone in their right mind thought that was going to fly with the player base.)

CptPatriot Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 It just makes me thankful I bought my lifetime when we got invited to their beta all those years ago. I got my money's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted June 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Champions Online started up their 4th of July event the day before yesterday. There's a vehicle, a couple of costume pieces and some other small stuff like action figures on the vendor. No ATs for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 World of Warcraft is gearing up to the next expansion in August, so you can power up quick with your character (the new event they just added will max all your artifact weapons, for instance).

ultrium Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Has anybody played DC Universe Online here? I am just curious. I look through topic and did not see any references to it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted July 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I've tried it, but never played it enough to form an opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 The max level giveaway portion of the pre-expansion time is upon us in World of Warcraft. Now your artifact weapon is maxed in power, although it has no traits any longer. And you can now purchase exact legendaries from the vendor instead of a token that becomes a random one. And many world quests give away the currency used to buy them (as well as missions in your class hall). What used to take me about 2 weeks to accomplish now takes 3 days. Also; rebuild time for talents. Your characters have had all their talents reset and changed. Many old talents that they'd gotten rid of are back. Most of the classes can now choose a talent that does what their artifact weapon used to -- but not all (destruction warlocks for example have lost their portal creator).

ultrium Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 I would recommend trying DC Universe Online for any Champions (Hero System) player. It is called free to play but it really free to try. You can get about a third of the way to the maximum "level" for free. After that you have to pay. In short, the game itself is one half D&D and one half Hero System. I could give a longer description if people are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incrdbil Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I haven't touched CO in years. I'd love to get my group to try it again..if there's any new content. I'm not talking alerts, but zones or new missions in existing zones of significance. Is there anything new? Enforcer84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Ok. WoW: Battle for Azeroth has a lot of good in it. I'm really impressed by the Kul Tiras (Sp) zone. Parts of it remind me of places in the Smokies. Autumn for one zone, and Spring for another. Enforcer84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Yeah, World of Warcraft launched their new expansion Battle for Azeroth. It has two big main starting areas, one for each faction (horde and alliance). The Horde side is more Aztec and jungles and the Alliance side more Pirates and desert island. This is, for me in any case, the least-anticipated expansion they've ever put out. The entire backstory is just tedious and annoying to me. But we'll see as time goes on if the play is any good.

I enjoyed the witch themed Storylines in Drustvar (hope I got that right) a great deal, but maybe that's just me. Stormsong value's stories don't suck, but they're weaker in comparison and they do go on forever. *Sigh* Unlocking Dark Irons is going to be a grind though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted August 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 I'm really loving the art, the voice acting, and the level of detail put into the questing. I started with witch hunting in Drustvar, and also enjoyed it. Finished the main storyline in Tiragarde Sound (sp?) and thought it was well done as well. There are also plenty of side quests to keep you occupied, and some of them are quite well done. It's almost to the level of a decent single player rpg. IMO, it's probably the best leveling experience for an expansion that they've put out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted September 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Looks like Wildstar is dead. Not sure of the shutdown date yet, but it has been announced to the gaming press, apparently. RIP. I would have played more of this if the frantic combat wasn't so hard on my hands. I was kind of hoping the FTP launch would keep them going, since they fixed a lot of the initial issues. Oh, well. Another one bites the dust. Or is that bytes the dust?

Pattern Ghost Posted October 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I haven't been on it in a while. I usually binge it a couple months out of the year. Still mildy annoyed at losing a few of my freeform characters to their subscription drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably already know this but I just got the email saying they pull the plug on the Wildstar servers on Nov. 28th. I'm also sorry to see it go as it was a pretty decent and fun game.

Christopher R Taylor Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 World of Warcraft's new expansion is okay, not their best effort but it looks like they are more focused on adding in and end game than ever before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted January 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 I've had a hard time getting into it, and my guildmates are hardly on when I am. I'm just working on level capping my characters and when I'm done, will just wait for the next one. At the rate I'm not playing, I probably won't cap all of them by then anyway.
