No more powerset prolif! Keep the archetypes unique! Add new powers and stop with the proliferation. It's just recycling powers. I don't like it.

I am looking at a return to CoX and dual pistols looks very cool. However, no pre-order for me. Not until I know what exactly is in GOING ROGUE. I am not one to pay for things when I don't know what I am getting...GR needs to have way more than what they have revealed so far. They claim there is more but we have no idea what that could be. I'll just wait until it's all clear.

Unfortunately, the CoX DEVS promise us BIG things. They did the same last year and we waited a long time for something BIG. That big was i14 and the Mission Architect...a great tool but hardly worth a 1 year wait. That's the problem with promising the players something big and then not giving us any info at all...it's all subjective...their BIG can be playerbase's LAME. So, in our time of global restraint, I will hold on to my hard earned cash.

Superfan, I'm right there with you. I admit I subscribed to a game I really didn't like anymore for too long. I also kept waiting for something BIG but obviously their definition of it and similar words greatly differ from mine. Many people would disagree but I thought there was way too much rehashing of current content and nothing truly new. An example, secret identity non-combat gameplay would be new but MA is not unless you really enjoy making missions otherwise playing missions was essentially the same. I love IOs and a really great addition to the game but they are just a tweaked enhancement nothing truly new imo, as another example.

There are plenty of subscribers to keep this game going for a long time so I am content to wait until enough content, graphic changes and gameplay mechanics have accumulated where I feel the monthly sub is worth it again. I know if I were to resubscribe now, I would be bored of the game within the week. For me, when it comes down to it, nothing has dramatically changed about the gameplay or added to its depth. I don't know what it contains but even side-switching could be boring. I imagine doing essentially the same missions(office, warehouse, etc. monsters at same locations, etc) and some bar represents my good/bad reputation where it finally reaches one side and 'ding', I'm a hero or villain that I've already played for years.

Definitely wait and see for me.
