Joystiq interview: NCsoft talks about updating City of Heroes, keeping it relevant

Dec 1st 2008 10:34PM (Joystiq)
Very much disagree with Chas. CoX had one of the most amazing multi-layered pvp systems, which coupled with unsupressed movement competed in a rare niche between FPSs and slow MMOs (a la warcraft and warhammer). Diminishing returns turned everyone into an offensive character and completely destroyed a 1000 player team arena ladder that had been years in the making.

The Devs completely destroyed the community with total disregard. They were warned. We tested. We gave feedback. I wrote at least 20 VERY respectful walls of text in the beta forums before I was banned for playing forum games with two of my sg friends (I told them to be "quiet baddos" three times on the PVP arena forums).

Needless to say the community rep got fired a few days after (lol@those that say he left) a very embarrassing slip in which he stated that the PVP community's feedback was very much disregarded in this issue as we were not the targeted 'segment'. He was forced to retract this statement a few days later after a big uproar and another cancellation wave.

With the suppression changes, CoX now occupies the same niche as Warhammer and WoW, and those two have a devs that might actually listen. Since these the CoX devs will not respond to feedback, I'm taking my money to Warhammer until Champions is out.
