LOL ….”Were those Wolfgang special forces?”
Interesting podcast guys. I enjoyed listening to it while I worked. I gotta agree that the Dev Comment function of the forums is worthless.
Also, you guys are completely missing out on the Nem Con lair since you are not level 40 yet. I highly recommend you try it out on the test server. It’s a lot of fun.

If you want to mention balanced PvP in multiplayer/mmo type of a game then I think you should mention Guild Wars and EvE Online. Maybe Pvp in there is not perfect, but it is much better than in any game you mentioned when talking about PvP and balance.
Keep up the podcasts coming, even though I was one of the player who got disappointed with Champions Online since beta and left, I still keep an eye on this game.

and here the same in German just to anoy dozens:
Wenn Sie ausgeglichenes PvP in der Multispieler-/mmo Art eines Spiels erwähnen möchten dann ich, denken Sie, dass Sie Zünftkriege und EvE online erwähnen sollten. Möglicherweise ist Pvp innen dort nicht vollkommen, aber es ist viel besser, als in jedem möglichem Spiel Sie erwähnten, als, PvP und über Balance sprechend. Erhalten Sie die kommenden podcasts, obwohl ich einer des Spielers war, der mit den Meistern enttäuscht erhielt, die da Beta- und link on-line sind, ich halten noch ein Auge auf diesem Spiel aufrecht.

@Adogg — that is a great point. I will make a point of getting on there and testing it out this week. I have only really heard good stuff about it.
@Luk — funny. I am sure Dozenz will enjoy. Good point about Guild Wars balance, I am not a player of it (played it when it first came out), but I hear it does a good job with balance, but bottom line no game I can think of is truly balanced. Even Call of Duty, Counter Strike, etc… have balance issues.

Glad you guys are listening. I take it that you you two enjoyed Dozens’ rant of the week. We’ll try to “encourage” (read: frustrate) him into them each week.
Do you speak German, Luk, or did you use a translator?
Also, anything you guys want to hear about for next week?

Babelfish translator for the win!!!
You, guys, are doing a great job podcasting about a game that doesn’t get enough attention neither from its fans nor its critics. Probably because of its lack of content and limited attention span in its gameplay, no pun intended
Regarding topics for next week, hmm:
What do you think are CO chances to become F2P instead of sub+MT next year when STO comes out? Would DDO sub model work for it? Do not get me wrong, I was CO biggest fan and now on the fence pissed by its beta and lifetime offer sellout. What do you think will it take for CO to come out out STO hype shadow and win back the people it lost in the beginning?
Yes i know it is not the most reassuring of topics, but admitting that there was a problem is a beginning to the solution.
December 11th, 2009
Winter event details …. crafting changes … changes to Gadgeteering … tips on stating including gear, Super Stats and normal stats.
December 11th, 2009
Some excellent suggestions guys. Luk I have heard some rumors about STO and CO deals — so I think we will discuss that.
Adogg — we will go into depth this week on how Super Stats working, stating gear, etc…

The “Dozens’ Rant” was quite funny. I haven’t been playing much of CO at all as of lately, though I keep up with the Podcast and that at least let’s me know what’s going on in the CO universe. I wanted to mention a few issues back there was a discussion on how horrible the chat funtions are, and I remember saying outloud, “Oh my god! Someone else agrees!” Lol. It’s an old topic, but I don’t suppose anything has been mentioned about a possible fix on this perhaps?
Anywho, I’ve lost a bit of interest in CO. Hoping this event will spark some of the interest back for me again. And then will definitely be looking forward to hopefully new content by 2010?
Take care guys, and thanks for keeping me up to par during my absence.
