Just thought i'd start a thread about my experience I had recently in which I actually posted in the CO forums
(I'm bored dangit!
).
It was me questioning exactly
Why CO is so antagonistic toward any mention of CoH..the responses, for the most part were pretty civil and justifiable(the first wave of CoHers -really- ticked off CO forums/players
) Then, it got very..weird
. One poster talked about because one group of CoHers was loud and rude, that
ALL of the community must be like that(though he did later say he'll still be nice/receiving to CoHers, but that CO as a whole has deemed CoH community as rubbish). "Ok..?" I thought. During that time, I believe I mentioned these efforts.
That's when things went all topsy turby on me
.
First, someone who is very adamant for CO going on a sanctimonious rant about how welcoming CO was to CoH at first(they weren't bad but the way he painted them it made them basically look like perfect angels(granted those in game were very nice, just again, not perfect(no one is
))). Then he went on to say how childish the CoH community was for not liking Jack Emmerett for ED(ED sucked but that's not really why we don't enjoy him but hey! He's a CoH and CO expert!). As well as the mega hate thread that CoH had in the forums pre-shutdown, in which he stated how most of the hate was "word of mouth" or "Friend of a friend" informed, when he did the
Exact same thing not only in the Jack Emmerett post, but in other subsequent post in the thread(as well as the really old post when CoH reguees were being discussed in CO post shutdown). I also believe for a bit, CO had a hate thread(granted, it had other topics discussed within but still, a lot of CoH hate was in that thread, a lot.) Also, at one point in the thread, someone asked for prove of the revival efforts, of which I did my best to find what was not under NDA(I linked both the Mask comes off and New efforts threads, as well as an article on the efforts(I was trying to find the one where Nate speaks, but couldn't
) And was dismissed as starting "CoH drama" and it being poppycock.
So yeah. Getting a LTS to CO still, and CoH upon return, but never,
EVER, interacting with those forumers again. Ever.
Instead of offering a civil logical rebuttle(some did, of which I acknowledged, but the majority didn't) they resort to plugging their ears and dismissing my information as drama and not real. And they called
us childish
