Ironblade

Was this in Warburg or was it in Bloody Bay, where you're missing your best attacks?

Try Superspeed. It makes you feel like a sports car on ice.


IR makes your movement very 'twitchy'. It has the potential for excellent control, but you have to learn it. It takes practice and most people don't normally have access to the power so they haven't had opportunity to use it on a regular basis. I have dozens of toons, including two with kinetics at level 50, but none have Inertial Reduction.

For some reason, this made me think of a Christmas song idea: Jingle Bells by the Barking Rikti.
Much better video potential than the barking dogs version.

One of the downsides to Bloody Bay is that your targets must be of the opposing faction. Only Warburg is 'free for all'.

How about using toons that you actually like and plan to keep so that it's not a burden to level them up? It really does go much easier in Warburg (per someone who has gotten Disruptor on two toons by farming).


P.S. Why 6 toons? The PvP timer is only 5 minutes and with the time to kill and the log-out time and the PvP zone timer, you won't need 6 toons to cycle through if you're doing this alone. I haven't timed it, but I would estimate 3 toons would be enough.

True, but both are pretty much irrelevant anyway. NCSoft personnel have their own guidelines and don't sit there with copyright/trademark/patent/traffic laws in front of them

Oh, you don't, eh? Just so we know what context to take this post in, do you actually have any idea what is involved in creating the animations?

For a contrasting position, I was quite impressed by the number and detail of the animations implemented and posted to that effect.

Why don't you READ before you LOL?
When THIS thread was started is irrelevant.
This problem has been around a lot longer than 3 days and you know it.

Yes. Isn't this obvious? YES, the stupid and unrealistic accents are necessary. If there were no accents, people would say, "Oh, that was unrealistic because they were all speaking perfect English." and sales would suffer. That's just the way people are. Not all of them, but enough to murder the sales figures for any game or movie that tried it.

Actually, most of them don't. Approximately 2/3 of the population speaks English only.

I have to disagree. I generally find that people in that category are too stupid to realize it and, even if they do, too lazy to do anything about it. It sounds like I'm making a joke, but unfortunately it's true.

A portion of your objective analysis is irrelevant to the matter. The regeneration restores more hit points than the self-heals over time... so what? How much of that regeneration would be occurring when you're at full HP and is therefore wasted? The regeneration does not 'ramp up' in combat (which Willpower DOES). Also, how much of the self-healing gets wasted like all that regen? NONE, as long as you're paying attention. The self-heals occur entirely ON DEMAND - i.e. when you NEED it, unlike the regen. This makes the self-heals more important to survival.

Which is, of course, completely irrelevant.

A feature that was enjoyed by a significant number of people was "temporarily" removed and has now been gone for a while. It needs to be fixed, regardless of whether people are getting emo or ragequitting over it.

Doesn't Inertial Reduction do that? It gives Flight greater control like Hover has.

HEY! He's trying to live that name down! It's 'Trapster'.
(Or it was - dunno what it is now.)

I contend that it is. I didn't say that most of regen's recovery of hit points comes from the self-heals. My actual comment was "most of it's power", but really I should have used a less vague word like 'survivability'. Incoming damage tends not to be steady and uniform like the effects of regeneration. It tends to spike - like the self-heals.

That's for sure. Aside from typing, sometimes a mouseclick will register on a window that is BEHIND the window you are trying to click. Also, with so many keyboard shortcuts built into the menu, you can do all kinds of carnage by accident. Luckily, as noted above, not too hard to fix.

This sounds reasonable at first, but let's look a little closer. How many direct competitors (same genre) does CoH have? Exactly one, which only showed up recently and may or may not be a long-term success. This is why CoH got onto that list of top 10 MMO's that changed the industry. CoH was nothing short of groundbreaking and only now, 5-1/2 years later, does it have any competition at all.


Right, so this is already addressed.


It is? Why? In what way? We hear this a lot but, seriously, aren't most of the people who mention it just parroting something they heard? It's like global warming. 99% of the people shrieking about it, on either side of the argument, genuinely don't have the first clue.


It is? Why? In what... whoa! Deja vu.


Wonderful weasel phrase there - "the great scheme of things". There is some universal standard that CoH isn't measuring up to? What would that be? The subscriber numbers of WoW?


Frankly, knowing the historical subscription numbers, if that figure is accurate, I am FREAKING THRILLED. If we really are holding at 130K that is outstanding. And I'm not being sarcastic. I'm skeptical of that number but if it's true, that is great.
