Ironblade

Except actual experience of people with dual cards has shown that they do NOT help for CoH.

As always, the problem with sweeping generalizations like this is that they are guaranteed to be at least partly wrong. For example, I fought a stalker in PvP on my scrapper and it was a long, ugly fight. I eventually won, but this guy was built to go toe-to-toe in PvP. He could EASILY "land continuous and consistent melee damage rather than stalking". Of course, I guess in your narrow view of the game the real situation must be that I play a scrapper incompetently - because that stalker couldn't possibly fall outside of your 'right way to play'.


Playing buffbot and keeping two buffs constant on 7 other players isn't fun for some people. And no, this isn't up for debate, so don't even try it. If that's what you expect from a controller, you're not looking for a teammate - you're looking for a servant.

Well, there's two aspects to this. Firstly, the part about not being allowed to perform your role. Is "your role" too narrowly defined? I've seen tanks that insisted they be allowed to herd every single spawn regardless of the team composition or what the team wanted. They insisted it was the "right" way. Of course, this isn't unique to tanks. I've seen members of every AT who were stupid/incompetent/clueless/whatever.

Assuming you can adapt and are flexible in the definition of your role, and the rest of the team really does suck, I don't have an answer for you. This is because I've never had to deal with that situation. I don't do all-PuG TF's. I just don't. I do a ton of TF's but there will always be at least some people I know on the team. With that being the case, I will NEVER ditch a TF team.

But.... you did.
It's like when someone starts a sentence with, "I don't mean to be rude, but..." You know there's a doozy coming.

What? Is there some rule that says when a thief breaks in to steal something, he has to leave the same way he came in?

If they are relying 100% on players to test the patches, they're doing something wrong. Since the patch notes explicitly state that enemy levels in TF's were one of the items being affected, it's pretty sloppy to not have tested Ouroboros since that's a massive block of content and it uses the 'TF system'.

hmm... This is either misleading or wrong - it's not phrased clearly enough to be sure which. When you say "there is no Upgrade from XP to Win7", do you mean:

1) It's technically not an upgrade because you will have to reinstall all programs since Win7 overwrites the existing OS completely.
This is accurate and correct.

2) There is no legal/license method to upgrade from XP to Win7.
Completely false. Microsoft includes instructions for the upgrade from XP to Win7 right in the Win7 Upgrade version packaging. You do NOT have to have the Win7 full version to go from XP to Win7.

I have a katana scrapper named Dr Steele. I also have a martial artist named Dr Smacky.

A discussion about length vs width is just *SO* wrong when the man with no pants gets involved.

Yeah, there's a few powers that are mostly/entirely bad news in the hands of SOME players. I think a lot of people have never played a tank, or teamed with one much, and simply don't understand how aggro works. An explanation is often useful, particularly if you don't say: "Stop doing that." but instead say: "Your caltrops would be even more effective if you did this."


More often, in my experience, the enemies are all dead before they have a chance to become a problem. A good fire/kin can lock down an 8-man spawn and kill most of them singlehanded. Add a single blaster, and nothing will live long enough to be a threat. Like the previous item, if the player is NOT skilled, then you have a problem.


It's a scrapper thing. "Feel free to run ahead and die. Toodles!"


Ironic when we look at the last sentence of the previous paragraph and your actions here. It sounds to me like YOU got butt-hurt and quit that team in a snit. Regardless of motivation, my opinion is that YOU were in the wrong. One person annoyed you so you bailed and screwed over the entire team. Not cool.


Develop a thicker skin or stop doing PUG's. A certain percentage of the game population are nimrods. Accept it and deal with it calmly.

Be warned: all task force and strike force AV's *DO NOT DOWNGRADE*. You can be in there all alone and they will still be AV's regardless of your difficulty settings. The AV's will only scale down to EB's in regular missions.

Dear monkey-boy:
1) Pocket D doesn't connect to Atlas, does it?
2) The tailor was NOT in Pocket D when it first opened. She was added later.
3) Your avatar is freaking me out.

It's in the 'For Fun!' section (second from the bottom) and it's the 5th line item in that section.

Don't hold your breath. If there was one particular bug that was bothering you, that would be one thing. But if you're waiting for a major change in the way the business is run, I don't guess we'll be seeing you again.

It was spelled BJ. It was on his official records that way and he later explained that the name came from his parents' names: Bea and Jay.

Yes, but that was a trial thing, to see how it worked and what the other personnel thought about it.

But pirates have wenches. When was the last time you saw a ninja with wenches?

Useful example. Also, it was realistic in terms of the number of men under his command; a few dozen.


Terrible example. Firstly, it's not set in the U.S. Secondly, she's an intelligence operative and not a regular soldier.


eh, he's a non-combatant. He's a special operative (mental power) in an intelligence branch. He got his rank due to his unusual abilities. If you've ever watched the American TV show M.A.S.H., you may have noticed that every doctor was a commissioned officer. They were given a high rank due to their special skills.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Wrong. One event is in a game and totally imaginary. The other is real life. Utterly and completely different.
