Blithe admission that poster failed to read past the first page. Self-righteous defense of OP. OP's attackers compared to forum bullies.


Personal anecdote that proves nothing and is outdated by current game mechanics. Followed by backhanded criticism of many of OP's points.


Attempt to avoid feelings of inferiority at the size of other posters post counts by citing X months veteran badges and knowledge of game mechanics from Y levels in Elf Mohawk game. Statement of support for CoX! Followed by criticism of CoX, compared to Elf Mohawk game and tabletop games. Nerdy reference.


Reference to The Eternal Flame War at http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=57115 and EFW (Existential Flame War) at http://community.livejournal.com/efw/ and http://efw.dreamwidth.org/4789.html in a bid for elitist nerd status points.

Well, the PVPers say if they turned on Base Raiding, they could play Repel Ball. I've seen the pictures. Their stadium layout sg base is inspiring, and somehow more intimate than the Arena.

Maybe if they made Arena terminals buyable base items..

Thanks for putting it together!

It was blast seeing everyone's tanks together, and Paladin was the perfect opener.

I'm not sure we made enough tank jokes, though.

Been happening all week.

In the star field look, someone suggested paneling the walls with black colored banners turned against the wall so the logo didn't show up.

The idea that people are making "too much money" in AE is ridiculous...

There's a number of guides telling you how to take your level 1 to the market and walk out rich without going near AE. ANY amount of marketeering can make you rich without even trying. It's just boring as hell.

I have trouble telling the difference between 'farming' and regular missions that are boring. Anytime you do a mission for a reason other than the content, you're 'farming.'

The one thing I agree with Plainguy is the Elite Bosses and Archvillains. The regular AE missions don't need them, really. If you think xp farming SHOULD be prevented, removing those would prevent it. This would leave the onus on story content and allow soloers to do them without needing to round up a group. I personally enjoy the stories more when I get to read them myself without being hurried by impatient teammates or never having time to read the mission arc because the leader is zooming to the end.

If the devs feel a story is SO good they make it a dev's choice or hall of fame, then they can up the bosses.

I'm very happy with the ability to use tickets to get rare salvage. I HATE the market. Having an alternative to get salvage is great! They just need to give you the ability to get common salvage as well, and I'd never have to visit the market again, except for buying wings or whatnot.

And may I say that I'd prefer if missions granted wings and things? Or a particular mob always dropped them?

And if they make a game where everyone has the ability to heal themselves AND the possibility of one AT being a dedicated healer, people will consider anything less to be *inefficient* and weak.

It is true that trollers can sub for tanks...but it depends very much on the powerset and skill of the players involved.

Fanny fringe!

Some people have powers to knock you down (Witches with wind powers), some people have powers to not be knocked down (IOs).

I love the Spider-man reaction idea, though. It would be nice if Acrobatics DID something, instead of simply negating the KB.

And I did my first Statesman TF. Recluse iz noob, didju no?

I was wondering if this could be used with Force Bubble, so I searched for what sets FB takes...I can't find anything! I logged into my character and there's no sets listed.

For regular enhancements it only takes End and Recharge. >

I've been trying out Gizmo's freeware suggestions.

So far, I like Avast, Malwarebytes, and Superantispyware. I've also switched to secure DNS servers (there's Google, OpenDNS, Komodo Secure), and Firefox with the Noscript and Web of Trust addons. Web of Trust is a common ratings system though, and warnings about malware sites can be overcome if someone is willing to spam good ratings for it.

If you're really paranoid about spyware sites but go to them anyway, I hear you can use your browser in Sandboxxie while running Returnil--reboot and everything goes away. Sandboxxie slows you down significantly, but Returnil doesn't at all. I've been experimenting with running COH with Returnil on my old Dell and its fine.

It's a wonderfully fun combo! I love soloing with it on my Corr (DP/Kin)--though I'm feeling the desire for Stamina, since I haven't End slotted well enough before Transference.

Executioner's Shot is my secret love. Wonderful finisher, and the echoing finality of shooting a runner feels like being in a Tarantino movie.

Well, Recluse has a reason to be badder than everyone except Statesman. As I understand the game story, they opened the world to powers again. So even if your concept is Thor, your power/manifestation/avatar is being routed <b>through</b> those two.

Some of this seems unfixable. You can't make Batman villains and Superman villains without getting two different games. Co* solves this by making everything kind of level.

I can only hope the Incarnate system allows different trees of Uberness. Instead of everyone beating up Mako, fer instance, the Superman wannabe with Incarnate Strength can. The Batman wannabe gets pounded, same as always--and if he's cheated, then he's not a Batman wannabe anymore, is he? He's composite Superman...
