New efforts!

[Triplash]

I think they'll know before then, but hold on to the news a bit... Just for the symmetry. 2 years to the day would be the perfect day to announce its return.

Oh I could so get behind that. A symbolic date like that would make a pleasant morale boost for the players, and help make the news stories that much juicier.

[Power Gamer]

Stuff I wanna do/get:
1) More character slots. Lots more!
2) More AE slots. Gotta catch 'em all.
3) Major SG revamp and upgrade.
4) Spend more time redside.
5) PvP
6) Ferret out all the story lines I never got around to the first time.
7) EVERYTHING ELSE!

Well, I don't care if it takes longer TBH, but I will make ONE firm prediction.

If they DO get the game, we'll be told on August 31st.

An August 31st announcement would be awesome indeed!!  I hope your inner Nostradamus is correct!! 

[Perplexite]

I'll park myself in the base editor and will refuse to leave for atleast a week!

[MM3squints]

Whenever this game comes back online - someone needs to add to City Hall Plaza, or make a new location,  nice big statues and plaques of all the people whose efforts brought COH back to life.

Or they can do something quirky like an easter egg. Like what they did to the dev team of CoX. Every hospital had a portrait of them near the front.

I'll be doin some team'n and hardcore badge'n  8)

NOBODY tell this to Facebook! They'll take it as gospel, and riot if it doesn't happen.

Gone to the Americans!

Hey, I'm and American and I just have to know; when you say something like that, is it better or worse than going to the dogs?

I just wanna know where we rank.

I'll start duping rares.

This is how it starts.

I think they'll know before then, but hold on to the news a bit... Just for the symmetry. 2 years to the day would be the perfect day to announce its return.

If they know sooner then personally I think they would be better off making an informal announcement as soon as they know (to start steering the dialogue a bit and end crazy speculation of who it is) and declare Aug 31 will be a follow-up formal announcement of what their overall strategy for the legacy CoH and CoH2 will be and the condition of convertible account information (if any).

Same. My old bases needed rebuilding.

Everytime I see "CoT" even though I know you're referring too, I automatically think Circle Of Thorns.
I'll gladly run one of their lairs now.

A bridge too far, my friend. ;p

[Mistress Urd]

Things to do when CoH comes back.

1. Cancel EVE Online sub.
2. Send out e-mails of folks who used to play and tell them its back.
3. Figure out who needs to ding 50 next.
4. Play the game and have fun

[sindyr]

Dude, there's no such thing as "too much time" on a Kheld... ;P

Screenshots of CoX make me want to scream, like someone who's lost a limb looking at a video of them waterskiing, its SO painful!

I must have it back.

[Super Firebug]

Four months to acquire and configure hardware, start assembling a staff, tabulate the basics of what all is available / functional in the largely undocumented code, get people up to speed with whatever tools are available (likely few) and write initial necessary ones that aren't, write or integrate a new secure account handler and means to subscribe, create some sort of store handler (or plug holes that it being missing might cause), etc. Seems to be a pretty tall order just to get to the point trying out a beta run.

Not saying its impossible, but certainly a challenge in so short a span.  Indications have been that it will not be even close to a turnkey product that is being acquired by the unfortunate buyers...

I wonder if it'd be possible for the previous devs to work with them, to smooth the road and get it rolled out a bit sooner.

[sindyr]

If/when CoX comes back, first, I'll burst into tears. Then I'll play it cool for a little bit, make sure it is up and working 100%. Then I'll probably take a week off and do nothing else.

One of the things I liked about hitting L50 with my En/En Blaster was the rolling of a PB.

Tri-form.  Radiant Strike.  Incandescent Strike.  Two devastating, eye wincing blows.  PB, got to L44, I think...just as new 'none ball' unstoppable mode came in...  I was impressed with that...and some of the other PB changes.  I wished I'd got to L50 and IO'd the life out of the alt.

When I finally got into a WS within a year of closure...  I managed L41.  Very interesting and much more powerful.  Great to play strategically.  Again, wish I'd IO'd this to take it to the next level.  Loved having the floating purples around the Dark Dwarf tank even though they were a bit fragile...

But the thing I liked most was the unique story arcs for the Kheldians.

I would have liked those kind of unique arcs for all archetypes...and to have them all the way to L50.  A, tragically, under utilised idea to focus story and tailor it to a particular kind of hero.

The Kheldians.  Inspired idea.  Hard to believe this unique archetype came in Issue 3.  Very innovative and dramatic.  I loved the transformative forms.

Solar flare...stomp...switch to human form...solar flare....stomp...switch to dwarf form...solar flare...stomp...

Sir, you might as well be asking to be made Emperor of German Chocolate....

DIBS on that character name!   ;D

[Thirty-Seven]

Wheee!  I now have a Fun Title.  :)

Hehehe.  Someone has a sense of humor here.
