the Kitchen Sink patch<\/a> (except to note the patches to deal with the patch that immediately followed). I think it’s cool that they’re trying to incorporate as many concerns and problems as they can.<\/p>\nThat all said … looking at the “coming attractions” ….<\/p>\n
“New Costume Sets in the C-Store<\/strong>” – Oh, boy. As in, so seriously not interested. I’m actually pretty happy with the costumes I have on the toons I have, and since I have no more slots available (mutter), there’s no big driver for me to change costumes. (Which, honestly speaking, I don’t do in CoX that much any more, either; I now have a Vet Award that gives me 50% off all Tailor Sessions, and most of my toons have free Tailor Tokens in the double digits.)<\/p>\n“I See a Blood Moon a Risin\u2019<\/strong>” – Well, if we can have Rikti Invasions at random intervals, I guess we can have Werewolf Invasions every lunar month. Meh.<\/p>\n“This One Goes to Eleven<\/strong>” – Okay, this one looks good.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ll be introducing difficulty levels that players can set both for individual heroes and for their team. With 1 lower and 2 higher levels of difficulty to select from, players can create a challenge that fits their play style and ability.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Excellent. Soloists will be able to dial back difficulty levels. That will make life a lot easier.<\/p>\n
“Flashing Back<\/strong>” – I don’t have any characters so far along that I feel the need to flash back with them.\u00a0 It does make me worry that so many people do that this feature is considered worthwhile.<\/p>\n“Vibora Bay Watch<\/strong>” – Hmmmm. Okay, on the plus side, more content.\u00a0 On the minus side, is the game so unbalanced that we need to focus on Lvl 37-40 content already?<\/p>\nEvidently there are indications in some references to this expansion pack that it’s going to be a paid content item, which has some portion of the CO community up in arms.\u00a0 It’s certainly a different model than CoX (which has had one paid upgrade pack, with another coming soon, both of which were not just new zones), but we knew CO was designed differently from the start.\u00a0 It will be interesting to see this play out.\u00a0 I certainly don’t feel any compelling need to acquire it any time soon.<\/p>\n
Especially for level 37-40.\u00a0 Yeesh.\u00a0 Give me a 12-20 zone, or a 20-30 zone, and I think you’d hit a lot more customers.\u00a0 Self included.<\/p>\n

Whew. You turn your back on the game for a few months, and everything goes all crazy! After having been away (Real Life Sucks) from CO and CoX for a while, I have a few things to say, separately, about coming back. But, in the meantime, some thoughts on the CO news.
