he also cons as an AV and can one shot lvl 51 minions for a 2000dmg footstomp. overpowered punk.

Seriously. Jack seems like a nice person when you meet him, but he's a meglomaniac. Seriously. His in-game, in-comic avatar is a munchkin build if there ever was one.

And his rank of "Hero" is lame. I would have called AV counterparts "Paragon".

[/ QUOTE ]

As my sig illustrates, the Statesman NPC was changed to increase the fun for the casual gamer. At least once in their 50 levels they should have the oppurtunity to see how a Super Hero plays, not what we are relegated to playing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, but does Statesman have to be such a [censored] about it in the comic?

[ QUOTE ]
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Evil Song!!!! Thanks EvilGeko, now it's stuck in my head.

[/ QUOTE ]

Give in to the Badger my child.

[ QUOTE ]
Or badger. that would be cool too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Badger can't be used by itself. It must be:

BADGER, BADGER!!!

Great post. I haven't been able to bring myself to raid, but will again when my squishies get into the 40s.

As an aside, I finally, after months of PUGs finished my Tyrant mission (I've done others multiple times) This was the first time I saw the Statesman in game.

It's strange but I forgot about the mobs and just wanted to beat Statesman up. Is that wrong?

[ QUOTE ]
isn't that what i said, and got called an idiot for?

(notice the sticking tongue out faces!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, but we're calling the devs idiots too for not know that a power they designed had Psi resists.

So (one up on you! )

CuppaJo also just posted that we were all apparently on drugs or very lucky as MoG never had Psi defense.

I got this information the screenshots produced by Gamespot.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ooooh. What screenshots? Links? Please?

[/ QUOTE ]

They only were up a week. They posted a screenshot of the mouseover for every power in CoV up to that point. Lot of bandwidth.

I'm sure that stealth is just like cloaking device to a Devices Blaster. And they will have suppression, so once you attack you are seen. I really think that power will be stupid. I'd rather have quick recovery. If I want stealth it's called the stealth pool

[/ QUOTE ]
You're right about the first power, but there is also a second power in place of... resiliance I think called Vanish or Disappear, which is usable in combat, dumps your aggro, AND RE-STEALTHS YOU.

I am not in CoV Beta, in fact, I'm not even paying for CoH ATM. I just know the spots to go for the leet inside infoz.

I wish I could say that I'm excited about what I've seen, but I'm not. CoV is going to utterly destroy CoH. You think Paragon is a ghost town now? Just wait.

[/ QUOTE ]

No comment about whether I'm in Beta, but the power you're talking about is Placate and it is in the Stalker primaries. I got this information the screenshots produced by Gamespot.

[/ QUOTE ]

with a name like evilgeko... how could you be in cov? maybe call yourself something lame like reallyevilgeko...

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah only a lame [censored] would call himself ReallyEvilGeko!

Statesman, any chance we'll get some reasonable method of knowing what these powers do? I know you guys have a design philosophy about numbers, but resistance can be easily determined whereas Defense cannot.

I just don't get why you're creating all this confusion where posting a couple of numbers would make things so much more clear.

Instead of the Good, minor, slight defense can we just know that we're getting from say, Dispersion Bubble:

10% defense to all damage tyes; 10% defense to AoE attacks.

Are you really saying that such a description is more complicated than a subjective descriptor?

Regeneration Instant Healing - Returned Instant Healing to a toggle; reduced its regeneration buff; recharge remains the same (650 sec.); Instant Healing turns off after 60 secs of use and can be detoggled.

Regen Scrappers didn't like to have so many clicks. Improvement to the power.

[/ QUOTE ]

that's not even funny, dude. don't joke about that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Who's joking? I broke into Statesman's MS word folder and pulled up a file called, "Draft patch notes for I6".

Consume is nice but doesn't make any sense in a regen line.

[/ QUOTE ]

What's the first power in Stalker Regeneration?

A stealth power!

[/ QUOTE ]

see? now it makes sense

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm? You confused me. Are you providing a counter point or support?

My point was that the fact that consume makes no sense in Regen is no impediment to the devs. You disagree?

[/ QUOTE ]

i'm saying stealth is necesarry for stalkers. although, i would have prefered they take out resiliance instead of QR...

[/ QUOTE ]

But Regen isn't. Regen has no business in the Stalker AT. Now a Regen Brute....

[ QUOTE ]
Resiliance is overpower in PvP - the effective imunity to stun effects means those poor blasters cannnot kill me unless they drop my Toggles.

Combined with undroppable click IH it is a killer combination.
So Resliance must NOT be touched, and IH should NEVER become a toggle.

[/ QUOTE ]

I6 - Buy City of Villains! Available TODAY!

Regeneration Resilience - Removed the Disorient protection; added Psi resists equal to other buffs

Improvement to the power (*snicker*)

Regeneration Instant Healing - Returned Instant Healing to a toggle; reduced its regeneration buff; recharge remains the same (650 sec.); Instant Healing turns off after 60 secs of use and can be detoggled.

Regen Scrappers didn't like to have so many clicks. Improvement to the power.

It's all about the PeeVeePee!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah I guess that would explain it. I remember when all the trolls told us that they can have two effect for PvP and PvE. It took 5 months for them to finally admit that the server can distinguish between PvP and PvE when it comes to self-buffs.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
WAIT!! that's it!!!! let's all talk about how great resiliance is, and that all of our greatness comes from it! non-regeners won't know any better, and they'll complain to the devs that resiliance is overpowered, yet the other powers are fine!! Then, resiliance can be our whipping/nerfing-boy, and it'll slowly go from a 5% buff to 1.2%! no one will care anyway!


[/ QUOTE ]

LOL that would be nice, but it doesnt work that way. Invuln has been saying that Invinc was the problem power in the set since I2 and what did the devs do?

Right........

[/ QUOTE ]

To get off Regen for a moment, that was truly amazing. They could have nerfed Invincibility into oblivion and Tankers would have howled a bit, but they would have a much more thematic set and still be as survivable. I don't get Geko sometimes.

Statesman, I for one never expected bases to be available to non-CoV people. However, this is yet another example of your commitment to murkiness biting you in the rear.

Full disclose, early and often. Facts are your friends.

[/ QUOTE ]

Dude, no. Direct quote from Statesman:

Bases are CoV.

There was no murkiness on Statesman's part, only wishful thinking on our part.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually all that says is that bases are in CoV. Which no one disputes.

[ QUOTE ]
why do so many people have avatars consisting of CoV characters beating up CoH heroes?

[/ QUOTE ]

Beating Statesman up = Regenner's dream

What we need is for Geko to get himself an ingame avatar. I would buy eight copies of CoV and run a self TF if someone would just tell me that Geko was the final mob.

[ QUOTE ]
dude, it's not. trust me, if you don't get beta, buy the game for at least the first month. It may look the same at first but... well, I caN't Divulge Any more

[/ QUOTE ]

*shrug* I never wanted to play the villian, and really the only interest I have in CoV is getting the chance to punch "Statesman", if there even is such a mission.

I don't want to endorse CoV until they put some real thought and effort into improving CoH and not just slapping bandaids on it. The fact that CoV gets all the cool ideas talked about on these forums, all the cool upgrades, all the neat new fetures while all our heroes get is nerf after nerf is bad enough. I'm certainly not going to "approve" all of that by actually purchasing CoV.

That said if I get the chance to play it for free via the beta I'd do that just to see what it is all about, but no, my only long term interest at this point is the Incarnate. If that is good I might stick around, if it blows I think I'll be done with CoH for good.

[/ QUOTE ]


Oh, lots of stuff from CoV will be migrating to CoH... Like replacing QR with stealth

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm actually betting on some version of Conserve Power or Consume:

Remember kids, Statesman sez:

"Temporary uberness is A-OK"

I want to thank everyone for keeping this post light hearted and fun. No ridiculous mutant arguments yet!

[ QUOTE ]
Gosh. We're only missing like 2 or 3 folks, and then we could have one of them old, old, OLD school scrapper/tanker debates.



I find myself far more serene than the last time I played this game. Heh.

So, Nozy, what kind of toon was your main in WoW?

Mine was a rogue. Though by the time I left the game behind, my warrior and my mage were finally getting up to the higher levels too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup. I think we just need Havok/Thornkiller and the Confessor and then we could have it out I2 style.
