Very, very nice. Always happy when I find what I search for!

Cuppa's been trying, but she has yet to be able to convince the devs to throw us a bone.

IF we were to ever add a way to get Isolator post-Tutorial, it would most likely be incredibly hard to get. Annoyingly hard. Irritatingly hard. There-would-be-a-zillion-people-asking-to-make-it-easier hard.

But IF we were to add it, it would be available nonetheless.

What can I say?

BRING IT, Tin-skin!

Heh, I find it funny how people go from "Statesman knows too little about his own game!" to "Statesman knows too much about his own game!"

[/ QUOTE ]

And I find it funny someone actually lumps all posters into "people" and finds humor in different opinions as though "people" should all be one cohesive thought unit.

Or was that post just an attempt to belittle a dissenter?

Soloing is IN our future and I found that ED has actually made soloing easier for me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not to be blunt but... LIAR!

How does going from an effective 6-slot to a less effective 6-slot make you more effective at soloing? What in the frackin world are you slotting in your passives to bring your defenses back up to snuff?

I think what you meant to say is "because I was forced to rebuild my tank, I stumbled onto what everyone else is now playing" or "because every tank is the same now, I can just do what everyone else does."

That's not the same.

But I digress, no Dev gives a flying fart about how much their players HATE enhancement "diversity" (really, could you have chosen a word that wasn't so obviously placed to evoke happy-joy feelings of cultural equality... VOMIT!) while they're sitting on top of their piles of money rubbing peanut butter on their nipples... or whatever it is insane people who crap on your game do in their spare time.

If you're getting a sense of loathing for a certain group of people here, then you're dead on. I'd post numbers and tests and more logical arguments, but that's been done to death and the net change is zero. All I'm left with is the bitter disappointment the Dev-olvers have turned out to be.

Should a skilled Tanker be able to corral EVERY mob? With a lot of skill, it should be possible - but it's certainly not required to be a good Tank.

This is an absolute load of crap. As soon as a tank comes on here and says "I did it" you'll nerf. You nerf as soon as someone claims they did something amazing.

The cycle is this:
1) Amazing claim from uberskillzman
2) Devs notice and grin with glee
3) Devs play on some strange in-house system for a few months to come up with "numbers"
4) Someone says "balance" and all the fanboi's nod
5) Devs say "test before complaining"
6) Test server is down for a week and the change is pushed to live
7) The AT of uberskillzman gets it up the tailpipe

Seven steps to turdville.

Sorry about this screw up. I wanted you guys to test it before it went to Live to see if it made MM's too powerful.

[/ QUOTE ]

What's truly screwed up is that within two weeks of game launch you're already eyeballing who gets nerfed first.

I can't think of a reason why the devs would want to "avoid" having level 50's generate extra prestige. It sounds like a perfect reward for maxing out your character, to me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why would you want anything other than level 50's in your SG then?

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought you were a developer, Posi.

Seriously, is this a real question?

Well, the reason you want heroes who aren't level 50 in your group is because CoH has nothing for an SG to do once you hit 50 and run out of missions.

Do I need to elaborate or is that pretty clear?
