P.S. We don't want wholesale changes to tanks, either.Seriously, just three sentences earlier I said "Most of us". Did I need to start every single sentence with that qualifier for your benefit?Quote:Originally Posted by EverStryke

It sells pretty cheap. I like to use it when fighting clockwork because it does knockback and they take extra. And I don't have a lot of attacks on the Posi task force.

However, there are the folks that say, "OMG! So and so is playing Aion now! Well, looks like they weren't so loyal to CoH after all!" Or the "Well, looks like so and so is playing Aion... good, glad they're gone."
I'm not married to CoH.
CoH didn't raise me.
CoH doesn't keep a roof over my head.
CoH didn't help me get my job.
CoH didn't rescue me from a burning building.
Seriously, LOYALTY???? TO A GAME????
I need to change my first sentence. Many people are stupid beyond the limit of my imagination. -

Did everyone miss the memo that the Rikti weren't at fault for the invasion, so some sort of retribution against the Rikti homeworld would actually be a horrendously vile moral act?
BURN THE WITCH!
wait.. sorry...
BURN THE RIKTI! -
Quote:Nope. I can 'tank' for a full team on my fire/fire BRUTE (with Tough, but not Weave). It's all about tactics.Originally Posted by Balorn
And I wasn't even talking any "serious TF"s, I was talking about regular teams doing regular missions. Are fire tanks really that worthless?
On a 'real tank', I can just jump in and let an entire spawn hit me at once. On fire armor, I'll approach the spawn more cautiously so that I aggro SOME of them before the rest. I have a chance to use Healing Flames during the 'stretched out' alpha strike.
Use inspirations as fast as they drop. They make a big difference. If your inspiration tray is ever full, you aren't using them efficiently.
Burn makes enemies run around (i.e. stop hitting you) - and it recharges fast. Use it right off in a spawn too tough to handle and by the time they stop running, you'll have half of them dead.
And, my favorite move when everything is charged and ready to go:
Build Up
Fire Sword Circle
Self Destruct
Rise of the Phoenix
Profit.
Did you know that the Self Destruct power doesn't give debt? Did you also know that, once you trigger it, even if the enemy kills you, you don't get debt because technically you've already 'suicided'? You know that annoying bug that drops all your toggles when you zone? Have you noticed that it also instantly recharges every power you have? -
Ouch. You've got a 2.5% bonus eight times, so only five of them count.
-
It depends on the AT, powersets and player.
When they introduced the -1 setting, you could hear the cheering from the players who like to solo low-damage defenders.
On the other hand, that bug where you get Paragon Protectors at level 40 in the Manticore TF is back - and I don't care. My scrapper can defeat +5 Protectors solo.
In general, now that supersidekicking keeps the team level range pretty close, I would say you should try a setting +1 higher than whatever you used to use in the past. -
Well, my first thought would have been to mention that the settings don't work on task forces or Ouorboros missions, but you seem to have covered that.
My next thought would have been to mention that you need to 'force' a reset of a mission to get it to change, but you got a NEW mission to test it so you covered that.
My next thought: who did you get the mission from and what level are you? If you got it from a 30-35 contact and you're 35 . . . . well, it SHOULD still let you adjust the level, but sometimes it does not. Even before Issue 16. Considering how many small problems there are with the new systems, it may not let you upgrade the level (or not as far as it should) if you're at the max level for the mission. -
Quote:Bull! Go back and read your own first paragraph. You just admitted that this is YOUR issue. This is NOT a problem where "good experienced gamers" need to step up and voice their concerns. This is *YOUR* concern.Originally Posted by EverStryke
As stated, Statesman and Gecko are gone. The game has underwent massive changes, and its still fun. Some good changes, some bad, but it's moving in the right direction. I would like to see it continue to. And this is "MY" issue. I am sure you have a "ME" issue yourself with the game. Who doesn't?
As for my "Definition" of a tank, being thrown around like a ragdall isn't one of them. I spend the time to ensure I have more then enough KB "Protection" because it's my job as a tanker. I also do it because I understand the limitations of my toon and obviously you do as well. But as good experienced gamers we have the obligation to say "something isn't right here" and dammit, I am saying it.
DO NOT PRESUME TO SPEAK FOR ALL "GOOD EXPERIENCED GAMERS".
Most of do not have a problem with the STF. Not only do we not have a problem with it, we would STRENUOUSLY OBJECT if there was a decision to 'dumb it down'. We do NOT need it easier.

Quote:Yeah, WORKING AS INTENDED. The STF is supposed to be hard - the hardest content in the game (blueside). It's SUPPOSED to chew up tanks and spit them out unless they have good teammates backing them up.Originally Posted by EverStryke
I would rather just see tanks be tanks, and not this CRAP. 95% isn't good enough. There isn't enough here to negate the simple fact that a tank is a tank, why not allow it to be a tank. Over HALF of the tanks Have Problems with STF's.
Also, I suspect most of the players LIKE IT the way it is. I sure do. There are plenty of 'walk in the park' task forces. We don't need another. -

Quote:Seen this happen and the real interesting part is that while the MM was describing the problem, *I* buffed the pet (playing a fire/thermal corr) and that.... 're-flagged him as owned by the MM'. (I was on the same team.)Originally Posted by FitzSimmons
I haven't played my masterminds since i16 but I heard that all you have to do is buff them with something like a heal and they'll be under your control again.
I didn't think to see if a heal would work. I used the thermal shields. -
Odds are, this isn't something where he can just pop in and toss off a couple of sentences. It looks complex enough that he'll have to dig around to find the answers. You know, like when they were looking at Taunt effects and discovered that it worked differently from the way everyone thought it did.

It won't hurt to use some compressed air in the case and see if I can clean things up a bit.

Repairmen seem to be fixed in i16
-
Yes, back to the opinions again.
Unacceptable to *YOU*. I did the STF just a few days ago and I thought it was fine. Even the repairmen aren't that big a deal, *IF* you know to expect it. -
So let get things back on track here instead of flying opinions..
Let's. Just remember you started it.
Why is Recluse Debuffing players Status effect Numbers?
My guess would be, because he's 'supposed to'. We've never been told what the towers do (or what his powers are) so there's no reason to think this is a bug.
Why are numbers Fluctuating?
IO's do that. Since it's for very short durations, and in the players favor, I don't think this is a significant issue.
When is it going to be fixed?
Probably never. The first issue may well be 'working as intended' and the second isn't really a problem.
They haven't done anything about the tower repairmen, or even acknowledged that it's a 'bug'. They have only acknowledged that their behavior changed due to a change to the enemy AI. -

Yes, unfortunately the devs listed a receptionist at the AE bldg as a "door" on their list of mission doors for Founders.
What happened was that there USED TO BE a door there - but they tore out the building and put in the AE building. And someone forgot to remove the now-missing door from the list of mission doors. Still an error on their part, but just forgetting to update a list.
I've also gotten a mission door just OUTSIDE the AE building, perhaps 20 ft from the front door, where there is only blank pavement. Same situation (this was in another zone).
