What about those people that heard about this and said:
"No it can't seriously be true?"

They go'n'try it, get 8 levels, leave disguested and end up getting their character locked because they did try it!

[/ QUOTE ]

Those are the players we're about to cull, we've taken out the PvPers and those who yearn for Dev Created Content already. Its all set out in the new manifesto.

I know your joking but this is 100% true,

[/ QUOTE ]

Half joking and half serious. It does seem to be time to alienate customers group by group in this game to me though.

Do I PvP?
No.
Do I care that floods of my friends who did have left?
Yes.
Do I crave Dev Created Content?
Actually yes I do.
Am I appalled with the I15 announcement?
Yes
Am I leaving?
No, no where better to go at the moment.
Do I use the MA?
On the whole no
Do I care that new players who haven't read previous warnings may now have their characters banned?
Yes
Do I want to see people leave the game?
No
Am I seeing friends leave?
Yes


I don't like most of those answers. The heavy handed approach hitting innocents is a stupid business move in my opinion, and something a datamine alone couldn't truely cure. How can the game prove intent?

Actually try this one: If someone left you in a room with a machine which had a button marked 'electric shocks - press me to win money' - with the electrodes hooked up to, oh I don't know, a basket full of newborn kittens, would you?

You want to watch Derren Browns Trick or Treat and look at studies like the Stanford Experiment.

I loved the post war testing, it shows what being human is all about

Hmmm, actually, as long as all the badge hunters who created maps purely for the new badges, optimising foes and allies get slapped with the same ban then I will accept a ban on my Tank which gained 5 bars playing "will it herd" with a smile

There's your exploit right there.

[/ QUOTE ]

i street sweep in DA with fire based toons as they hate fire, there's another exploit. bannage?

[/ QUOTE ]

Of course not, an elemental vulnerability is designed to make that foe weak against something.

[/ QUOTE ]

The 32-40 run I did in 5 hours solo in Creys cause of squishy mushrooms being high reward on my Spine/Invul scrapper??! That just their vulnerability, or exploit?

Next few years??! In which case big congratulations, shame to see some good humour go from the forums, but maybe if we get enough bad humour together............

I'm coming to the conclusion that its NC's plan to alienate as many sections of its playerbase as it can in 2009, I'm wondering if CoH2 by a different name is nearer than I expected. Easier to close the servers if you empty them first.

My only risk on this is that I tested a few melee toons against full spawns of bosses....... cause well the game wasn't testing them enough before. I like having 17 bosses trying to kill my tank, it means I actually have to watch the screen

If you have an AoE based build you can street sweep through most of the levels, look for groups with just minions and ltns in, take them down fast and move on.

Its what I did on my Spine/Invul scrapper when I got to level 32 and I was level 50 within 10 days. Teaming missions are faster, but you dont get big enough spawns solo for an AoE character solo.

If you ST based you can do well ghosting Radio/Paper missions and just taking down the boss room, 1-50 in under 60 hours of play for my BS/SR doing just that. It was boring though, but I wanted to see how it worked out.

Mostly its quicker to team though

If the welsh dragon is an option /signed if its not, go shove it

Happy Birthday,

(This should be in the (Server) Heroes/Villains section no?)

[/ QUOTE ]

It should be on a general defiant server, but it would be cross posting to put it on both heroes and villains so this is the closest it could come to the correct board. But thank you for your concern

yeah, like can you pressure Jay into getting us a Hockey Jersey to put that Maple Leaf on or something?

Well I'm staying for at least the new TFs and one more Robot Rampage, will reconsider then

I like those farm maps being available for when I want them. Nothing gets one of my stalled toons out of a rut better than smashing it up a level or two.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed there great for when you've hit that block where you don't seem to be getting any where.

There also great for seeing how many spawns a brute (or any other toon for that matter) can get through before his end bottoms out or he dies.

[/ QUOTE ]

Used to play that game with my Elec/Fire brute and MaX's Rad/Therm corr before MA, since MA we've found that its the agro cap in bosses

[/ QUOTE ]To be fair, we haven't tried a aggro cap's worth of EB's or AV's yet.

[/ QUOTE ]

We couldn't kill an agro cap of AVs, but I'm willing to give EBs a go for sure

Look, a happy reason to post.

Have a good one mate, is it an important one this year?

Sit back and enjoy a well earned bottle, crate, keg of VB and chill.

Hope the future is good for you

QR

I don't detest you.......... will that do?

See if this was the speech that went out yesterday there might well be a few less threads today

Well the forum is going to lose some of its laughs with your parting Standoff (and I don't mean the ones at your expense, at least not just them)

Best of luck with your future games and maybe see you on a forum in one of them some day (as I don't think I ever bumped into you in game)

Damnit there seems to be a competition on the most creative leaving threads............ while I love the art here, I hate the reason we've had to see it

Hope you sign up for TOR when it goes live Coin, would be good to see you there

For a secondary I cant see any advantages except Fire giving you stun protection and a self heal. So I'd go FA. you could pick up Acro later to cover hold and KB, CJ would give you imob and it would just leave you missing sleep.

None of the primaries have that big an edge for me, DM would give you a nice cone I guess, battleaxe might give you enough knockdown to keep you alive longer though.

A 5 person melee cone would be so overpowered in PvP with the currently packed out zones, you'd be sure to hit 5 every time

She'd better still be full of hope and joy, I don't want an empty offering....... I mean I'd like to extend my heartfelt welcome

I want something to make me roll a new toon, and there's been nothing for a quite a while that has.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm pretty sure the MA is open to level 1s

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm damned sure it is, but doesn't cover my need........ has it inspired you to make a new character then?
