Champions Online adds Impulse archetype, delays Issue 5

@Stormwalker

ohh I haven't tried to login due to being at work and such.. hopefully the broken stuff gets fixed soon.

@Arkanaloth

I was under the assumption people would be more vocal about the way the game is heading, what with Free Players being 3rd world citizens that will never be as powerful as a paid one, and having to pay for archetypes. Oh wait, that's right, you have to be a gold member to make forum posts...

@Zach Adams Eh? 2000 AT costs $25, so this is closer to $11.50 if you buy planning to pick up other stuff. It's actually not too bad, considering the same tokens are used by Star Trek Online, where most ships go for 1200 coins.

@BluegrassGeek My math sucks. I remembered $5=400 and somehow that translated to 40=$1, yet 800=$10. So 800+120=$13. I blame commenting from the city bus.

@Zach Adams

... Are you seriously thinking of buying it? Archetypes literally are weaker than the Pay To Play characters, and you have to pay for Archetypes. You're paying the same amount for a monthly fee, only you're PAYING THEM TO SUCK. You're also paying them to be a third world citizen, with no ability to speak in the forums.

Why are people still PLAYING this nickle and dime tripe? If you pay them, they see the audience is a bunch of idiots, and keep on doing things like this. Archetypes should be FREE, because archetypes get less points overall than the Pay To Play types, and because you apparently can't buy the right to create a gold-type character and keep it forever. Idiots!

@ShivanSwordsman

Dunno why your comment is voted down, as it 100% ACCURATE.

@Octahedron

This is a pretty awful place to ask. Lots of bitter ex-players who love to trash the game. I've played since launch and it's in great shape these days, minus today's unfortunate bug-ridden patch. Once the issues get ironed out (should be a hotfix later today) it'll be back to normal. I would definitely recommend playing it these days though, especially as a free side MMO.

@blakerefuge

What Blake said. CO isn't everyone's game, but it's the game I keep coming back to. There's a LOT of new content and people, it's a blast to play and I advise you to check it out if you're curious.

@blakerefuge

They really do need to get off the archetypes only for free players now that the cash shop is growing. And rumor is you'll have to buy secret lair items and expansions from the cash shop also? I donno. They are overdoing it a bit., I think.
