New Year's resolution

December 16 2010
So my new years resolution is to get more fit, eat better, and such. I'm starting P90X next week. Anyone with me, maybe start a fitness group, for support, tips, and other ideas?

Earlier this year there was a big to-do over someone registering the name "City of Heroes 2" for website usage. Not sure if it was a cyber-squatter but for a while there rumors were rampant that a new version of CoH was in the works. But since then, I haven't heard anything.

As much as I love CoX, I have to admit that even with the graphics "upgrade" a few issues back, it's still stale and not very realistic. C'mon - no busses? Or taxis? No children? Very few cars on the road for a city that size? Truth be told, I think "Going Rogue" will be the last major expansion for CoX. If there's something new coming down the pipe, I think it will be for CoH 2 but any announcement to that effect will be if or when Marvel throws its hat into the supers MMO ring.


Marvel tried, it's why Emmert broke away with the Cryptic name. He and Cryptic were going to develop the craptastical Marvel Universe Online. which was just an online multiplayer version of Marvel Ultimate Alliance. When that inevitably fell through, Cryptic decided it could still make a s#!77% superhero MMO for both console and PC and plopped out Champions Online.

Incredibly stagnant.

And they laid off a bunch of their devs.

I don't foresee any significant changes coming for them. It may be that NCsoft may not be allocating them the kind of budget that would allow for that kind of major overhaul. They may just not have the subscriber base for it any more. And the subs have left because of the staleness of the game. And if that's the case, it's because the devs didn't do anything to keep the game from going stale when they actually had the sub base. But now that they don't, they probably don't have the budget to do it now and bring them back.

It's an ouroboros. xD

Wasn't there some ridiculous attempt to copyright the word superhero?

Anyway, I was wondering if part of the court's hesitance to honor Marvel and DC's complaints against CoH was due to the fact that they were not competing in the MMORPG field. That's why I wondered if DCUO would change the legal playing field at all.

Seems to me that DCUO is more of a multiplayer console game, and CoX is a PC based MMORPG. I could probably be tempted back to CoX if they revamped it, gave it a graphics makeover (including 3D support), added new powers, and that sort of thing. But it seems to be pretty stagnant (or was when I left it a year ago).

The number of bad and illegible entries only helps me feel like my chances are improved :-)

I did my work in Paint. It took me several hours, I tried to very precise. Also, I feel like this is a design competition, not an art competition. A well-drawn, simple schematic I would hope in the end beat out a fancy drawing that doesn't explain much.

I had read somewhere that one of Cryptic's attorneys, during the trial, had scrawled out a crude drawing of a marvel superhero and asked if he should then be sued for infringing upon Marvel's copyright.

Re: DC Universe Online

Doubtful. Marvel tried suing Cryptic over City of Heroes a few years back for copyright infringement. Seems that players were replicating Marvel hero costumes and/or names. The lawsuit was eventually thrown out since it was the players copying Marvel heroes who were violating the end-user agreement, not Cryptic. In Cryptic's defense, part of the EULA (End User Liscense Agreement) states that players are not to replicate copyrighted material.

I'm sure Paragon Studios (the current owners of CoX) will be watching the subscriber count when DCU (and eventually Marvel Online) go live. What will happen? Maybe the count drop will be too much and Paragon will pull the plug on CoX. Or maybe it will go free-to-play. Or maybe nothing will change. Who can say right now?

I did the pre-order, too, but then realized you have to have ordered by Nov 15 to be included in the beta. So then I got an email from FilePlanet offering access to the beta if you are a paid subscriber. I paid the $16 for a 3 month subscription, and got immediate access to the beta.

I may cancel my pre-order, too. I'll see how the beta goes, and if the game improves. I like the social aspect of STO, and that is seriously lacking from DCUO. Maybe I'll go back to CoH again for my men-in-tights fix. (Although I wonder if DC and Marvel will try to close down CoH again now that they're getting into the MMORPG business.)

I've been checking my email since last month but still no beta key for me. :-(
I may cancel my pre-order since getting into beta was the main reason for the pre-order.

Ugh, they made it for console systems, too?

No thanks, devs always over-simplify their games for the console controllers effectively hamstringing PC users whose controls are also simplified to the crappy console limitations so the consolers won't feel as if they're not getting the full experience.
