I played CoX for a month, and I had a lot of fun. Sure, everything is instanced (and what isn't is horribly annoying) but I had fun. It has a very friendly feel, and I love super heroes.
Problem is its also very, very lazy.
Take the aforementioned task forces. It is widely acknowledged - by positron himself in fact - that the first one is nothing but horrible suffering and pain.
I went through it with my Warbringer.
Wow was he right. But they don't intend to fix it.
Or the mission that's taken from the short lived comic, with the giant spider that when "destroyed" reveals the psychic inside . . . only in the game, it explodes. and turns into the same spider.
See, they wanted it to look right, but they wanted it to be released more.
This is left and right in the game. Laziness by the developers.
The sideways skirt glitch was cute, though.
Even if firefox is slower than safari, or not as acidic (is that how you'd say it?) safari has so many basic problems its not even funny, beta4 and 3. Even if firefox was 25% below, and rendered twice as slowly, the fact that you could trust it to load any page you needed it to as compared to safari's "maybe!" policy...
Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to pretend not to be biased here. I know I love firefox a lot and am sort of anti-apple in some ways. But I think safari's constant website-compatibility issues that - acid or not - are ongoing is nothing to ignore.
