nope none your business either is it? how I talk to people ?
So none of your business at all for welcoming to the khelidan forums .
Wait lol you mean the squid and beetle forums .
But then again , what would you know about them
.
Other then 2 years of playing .
but lets pretend we all care one bit for eachother .
lets pretend dawn cares enough to discuss her knowledge of the game .
Which in my esteem , is she knows a lot of things beter then me .
Am not being her knight or valkyrie , am just saying what I want ,
So all those things taken into calculations .
Maybe you should get off your high horse , cause game has evolved too much for us oldie.
To say we can really be bothered .
Also some people say oldies are not argumentive , sadly it is people like you who make us argumentive .
So if they want to fix kheldians, then they will fix it there way .
And so far with everything they have done things there way .
But frankly at this point I wouldn't touch kheldians .
Cause of people like you playing it , beter to not touch anything ,
People might get butthurt , so let the youngster who tought they invented the wheels play it.
Yeah they might grumble and be dissatisfied , but beter not upset there frail ego . -

Oh, hello new person. Welcome to these boards. Please refrain from trying to tell me what to do, and I will do my best to continue pretending to care what you think.
Thank you for proving my point .
So done deal , a bit of friendlyness works miracles .
Sadly people like you are full of ad honiems and problems . -

You normally storm out of threads with "light tones" and end discussions that weren't hostile because you can't explain/defend yourself, then? Interesting.
Go do something else , if she doesn't want to reply .
So be it , gee you must have too much anger kept inside you . -
Quote:Warshade DPSERS are , I do not want to know what a dwarf surrounded by enemies does .Originally Posted by Mad Grim
Well if you're just smashing buttons in those forms quite frankly you're doing it wrong. Warshades are fluid and active, you switch forms constantly to take advantage of all they have to offer. A combo system in one of the forms would be teaching them the exact opposite of what they should be learning, making them stay inside the forms longer than they should.
When switching forms .....
Especially in human form no toggles on .
Since you are a dpser , why slot a form power for max effiency .
When human form has more then enough dps power options , especially some of them still old value not touched. so those extreme you see are still extreme .
sorry maybe if you want max effiency , so that is the reason to change shape .
Then stay human , no need for lousy squid switching , no lost of seconds .
But if you want fun then yeah , switching is fun .
And one playstyle doesn't mean it is the perfect playstyle.
While might be perfect for you and fun , doesn't mean it is perfect for everybody . -
Is this thread a joke ? , people are complaining about cool transparency .
Does cloacking device turn you into a blurry big black spot of ink ?
No it turns you into a transparent looking toon , if zoomed in you can still see the details .
And people complain about that ?
I give up some people should have played CoH original .
Where Cloak of Darkness , yes that was ruining your outfit .
By turning you into a big black spot of ink .
And getting it changed had half the forum people flaming me .
But cloaking device , heck no it is awesome , even for roleplay .
You take it turn it on in combat , turn it off after combat .
Done deal , but to cry you must take that power ?
That gives you as much defense even supressed as combat jumping , gives you almost as much stealth as invisible , and still able to act .
Is too worthless ? ... if it wasn't for cloaking device , you couldn't even place your time bomb up close . -
Quote:Yeah but don't you find it dull to just smash 4 buttons in squid form (sorry jokingOriginally Posted by Mad Grim
Just gotta say, a combo system is the last thing in the world I want on my Warshade. Its already in all the new sets, don't let it take over the old ones too. )
And 5 buttons in Beetle mode ?
The combo system wouldn't change anything for you , you just still hit your buttons.
But for the new players it would like woot .
I am learning ! how to play Squid and Beetle .

How would I fix Kheldians in this modern setting .
Eh not touch it , cause people would go bonkers .
2 if people really want to know
make the forms slottable , but the powers in that form temp power scalable in setting of 2x ACC/DAM ACC/DAM/EDU ACC/DAM/RCH , DAM ,DAM/recharge .
The forms should be slotable in ACC , DEF , DAM , Resistance and HP
So people can make there own kind of buff to the forms
Then make a combo or twist system like DB , or Water Blasting .
3 human form needs mezz protection , that mezz protection should be in the tier 1 passive.
And also changing to other forms , would not remove that tier 1 passive .
That is how I would fix Kheldians.
-
yeah am just goofing around with my Kheldian , but basically .
It seems really a shortage of slots .
Problem is why doesn't the form powers come with 3 slots , or beter yet 0 slots .
Just scaling like temp powers .
While based on old CoH formula everything works fine , but on the new CoH.
Things look so wierd , especiallu the attack chain is way too little .
It is sufficient , but having 4 buttons to push , and 3 melee 1 aoe .
Isn't sufficient in these modern times , also things are just so freaking wierd .
While all understandable with the old game of resist is god , with the new game everything get mezzed debuffed etc .
It is still fun to play , just can't make common sense out of it , give it free slots.
Means bonus set problems other AT don't get .
Make it scaling temp powers and people would revote cause of there favorite slotting .
Ah well just going to goof off with this set and have fun
-
Ok boils down to this , if same primary , same powerpool choices .
Max HP and potential to hit 200% versus Scrapper 125% with slightly lower HP and a terrific critical proc that happens quite often .
So end deal is simple , choose if want a bit more survivalbility and a stable damage output.
Versus a consistant damage output with huge potential for scaleable burst .
Make your pick , scrapper claw came way out on top versus my brute claw .
So you really have to check primaries , what was originally intended .
What was profiliated . -
This is one of the cases , where a set was nerfed too much , that all that is left is Phantom Army .
Flash used to be low recharge , to offset less control at lower levels , and cause controllers had to move in close to use flash . thus endangering them to AOE .
Spectral Wounds used to be higher damage ,offset was that partially healed up .
Superior invis used to be high def equel to tankers , that is why the extreme endurance cost
Now it is rubbishe defense , but the extreme endurance cost remain .
Grant invis well the def value even supressed says it all .
Spectral Terror wasn't even used back then cause the mobs would run away aggro other mobs and bring them all back to you , till fear fix.
Everything balanced but the negative still remains .
So yes Phantom Army is the last power remaining in the set .. oh the old days of 9 phantom army and 2-3 decoys and 3 phantasm out .
Illusion set past infact allowed a total diverse playstyle , from stalker - tank - MM , at the cost of being one shot , if things went wrong .
I rather them go trough Illusion itself , they can't touch Phantom Army .
But the rest of the power have become , less then other controllers powers .
If you want damage gravity is the damage control set . since it still uses the old values.
If you just want illusion set it self , well not much left in that set , that powerpools cannot duplicate in a minor way . -
Since dual pistol scrapper is out ..
How about making 2 new preatorian VEAT .
Based on the soldiers of arachnos .
There skillset and defenses are similair to scrappers..
So this gives finally a real dual pistol / gun kata .
As a secondary VEAT , make a sword pistol VEAT .
Thus more melee orientated , more selfishe instead of team buffs , debuffs .
Fits the Preatorian mindset .
Gives developer more freedom to make something cool .
Half the AT is done anyway , while the other half provides a challenge , pistol sword .
Just the story arcs are a pain , but think of the income .
And how many people still lacking a character they really want . -
EGO problems hopeling to show off FREE inspirations That I can get every 30 min. ?
What part of packs you do not understand ?
BUYING PACKS , DUAL and TEAM Inspi that just clutter up my character mail !
Not some cheap free 60 second inspi , that a bit of farming can get ..
That really shows you how old fashion you are lmao .
Love the game throw some money at it ... showing such hardcore cheapo dedication says enough doesn't it .
Game suppose to be fun , not some hardcore person who made his whole life about 20% more damage is the bomb for 5-10 second .
Please show that dedication with cash ok , that is the bomb nowadays . -
Quote:so if you skip the first power in the pool , you can manage 5 stacks ?Originally Posted by Hopeling
This really doesn't belong in the beta forums, what with being totally unrelated to the beta. If you want to make a suggestion, that is what the suggestion forum is for. If you want to bring it directly to a dev's attention, you can PM them.
And yes, Power Siphon quite easily reaches 5 stacks during its duration already. Moreover, since your stacks don't immediately expire at the end of the 20 seconds, you're really getting more than 20 seconds out of it. This ends up roughly equivalent to just getting a full 5 stacks for 20 seconds. (Also, "make Power Siphon even more awesome, but not qualitatively different" isn't a QoL change by most definitions...)
and one stack last 20 second next stack last 20 second , not next stack refreshes the previous stacking ..
Since when is 5-10 second equel a huge awesomeness ?
I do not know how hardcore people are lately , especially the same people who whine about a bit of lag .
Awesomeness is RAGE , Siphon Power does not equel awesomeness .
It equals a different buildup ,20% more consistant damage output for 5-10 second is beter for all.
Then saying 5-10 second matters , man go buy some inspirations that I throw away from the packs , those are SUPER GODMODE to you .
pftt people with there idea of balance , versus fun ! -
1 travel powers are already replaced ! jetpack ?
Slotted travel powers are not , combat jumping only has jumping 1 now !
So the jumping isn't even a big deal anymore .
Free to play means incentive for people to buy temp powers !
Since basically that is how the income is made !
A beter incentive to buy ninja run isn't a bad deal .
Quality of life means , it is a annoyance to toggle on combat jumping .
Yes a keybind etc can solve it , but a lot of issue can be solved by just pretending it isn't a problem .
2 I post here since it is beta and developers read it ,
the Q&A makes life more enjoyable , not Over powered .
Heck hell a lot of things are OP at this moment , and a lot of powers are underpowered .
But this is not the place for me to rant about it .
So miss strict and orderly think before you start to rant , if a post really isn't in your mood.
Then feel free to skip it . -
Don't get me wrong love all the changes even if some my old sets are now more playable and fun , my main beef is with couple of powers/powersets
1 Combat Jumping , since kismet , knockback protection and other defensive 1 slot special .
Can combat jumping be fixed so it doesn't detoggle with ninja run.
And if possible Rooted Granite ETC , no the jumping isn't needed , if the 1.88 def is. problem supress it .
It is more for IO special slotting , when certain sets or old builds , don't have defense in there main/secondary to slot the IO .
2 Electrical melee
any possibility of alternate animation for havoc punch ?
Take them from electrical blast , so doesn't require much new work but smooth out the combat animation a bit .
Jacob Ladder can the animation time be a bit faster ?
personally I would rather have the range increased a bit , but that is pushing OP .
3 Kinetic Melee , Power Siphon , 20 second is simply too short compared to build up 10 second , 25-30 second would be lovely to reach the 5 stacks at low level 100% damage increase , more often then not reaching max 3 only 60% damage increase .
Well the combat jumping detoggling with ninja run Irritate me the most . -
Ok definetly stupid new AI somebody has too much time on there hands ...
Cause mobs run away around less then 25% health left , without even debuffs on them .
This happens especially played on x2 or higher .
It is getting a bit frustrating chasing bosses minions LT .. whatever down .
Or waiting for them to come back , no definetly not a too high DEF problem .
Since my dark armour has very little def while leveling .
Also seems they run off if you use too much inspirations , or they take too much damage per second .
Or they see too many of there fellows die while less then 25% hp .
Even gauntlet (or brute equilevant) doesn´t bring them back , they just stand still for a second , then run off again . -
Ok don´t understand anything lol about the global and server slot .
As a premium player or whatever ..
So I got those slots my characters are now locked till I spend those slots.
If I spend those slots are my characters unlocked .
Or do I have to spend those slots to unlock my character .
Or can I skip all that rubbishe by just buying VIP (so subcribing for 1 month+)
Can somebody explain why things are so complicated suddenly ?
So also have reward tiers token left , yeah I quit this game a long time ago .
So how does this all work , or can I just skip it with subscribing ? -
Want to thank ncsoft for releasing this product , and releasing me of one of the two mmo games left
A sincer thank you , after 10 years of mmo there was only 2 products i supported no matter what happened , finally 1 left .
Just wish the other one would do something too , to irk me off .
Thank you very much and i mean it sincer .
Dont worry i see with the incarnate system the game going to be fun again .
So most of the angry post and rants on this topic wont hold.
I do see a postive outlook for CoX , just for me this product is not worth my time and support.
Especially since i hardly play it much anyway .
And CoX community is still the best ever , dissapointed that predicted negative feedback about this product or marketing greed has pushed the community so far.
While it could have simply being avoided . -
Quote:This would be a cool , saying yay i am playing a scrapper !!Originally Posted by Werner
I'm all in favor of something visually cool when a Scrapper critical hits. Not sure what, but something that makes you "wow". As it is, I don't notice it, and it almost might as well not be there. I don't think we need a buff, but visual enhancements? Sure!
Scrap some and booom blood or freem something .
Thats what i am asking for , dont even have to be a damage buff .
Something that says we are playing a scrapper . -
Quote:Thats not balance questioning thats overpowering !!!Originally Posted by BrandX
Truthfully, just because a Stalker can control one crit every so often, doesn't, imo, mean Scrappers need to control theirs.
I don't even think Scrappers as a whole need improvement. Maybe some individual set tweaks here and there, but the Scrapper AT.
Not that I wouldn't mind flat criticals across the board against any enemy...15-20% Crit rate on any enemy type would be yummy!
Sorry Stalkers are fine , they lost nothing , they gained criticals from scrappers .
More base line hp (means regen is more usefull)
Scrapper DEFENSE !!
Scrapper DAMAGE !! single target .
And kept there own uniek STALKER stealth assasinate and placate . (this part people choose to ignore always)
So wth are you asking about buffs for stalkers >.<
GOD makes sound like stalker prebuff were not playable ... i mean all those poor stalkers playing for 1 year without playable AT .
EDIT= SORRY BRAND X see i missread am too tired so my humble apologies .
For trying to flame you without a reason , thinking you were asking for stalker buffs >.<
See i dont edit the rest , so people can laugh at the mistake

Sarcasme on
No they dont its the last powerpool PRIMARY powerset still excist .
Bleh dont nerf it . i only need to take 3 primaries and be done with the powerset :P
And i dont even bother with bubbling others too lazy/selfishe cost way too much slots and time
Come on 20% Team DEF to all but toxic is good enough with manouvers
Sarcasme off
So sadly yes it needs help big time
But then again it still one of the few classic powerset left , that you take so little primaries and tons of powerpool and secondary powers .
So i would be sad to see it go , but its really outdated . -
IMHO no , scrappers will still be played .
Just they need a update .
Look its like comparing a old model car to a new model car.
On paper scrapper look and feels fine , just the new model brute is out .
And it feels and drives beter , does both do the job ? yes they do .
But sadly criticals need to be changed into something psychical viewable .
Remember blasters gotten trough 2 changes before settling down on this current system.
And it works well .
Scrappers needs a update in VIEWABLE something , i dont care if its a red bar that builds up then suddenly unleash all your criticals . (ok ok too overpowered)
But something that makes criticals more controlled would be lovely .
Especially since stalkers can control there criticals . -

What are you even talking about? Do you read the stuff you type?
All I got from that post was "Everyone's dumb/blind, lol wtf...wtf....wtf...challenge...opinions...universa l truth..."...
You sound like you're really mad about the direction City of Heroes is going, in which case I can't help but to ask WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?
The rest well thats up to people to decide for themself .
Am i angry at the direction the DEV are taking nope , i am just playing the game they made and enjoying it . so far they haven´t dissapointed me one bit.
And i am not even emotionally attached ..
So i can give a unbiased opnion about the game .
Is it good ? yup cause i am still paying .
Do i have fun playing it ?.. After 1 hour not really .
But in that 1 hour do i have fun ? Yes definetly great value for the monthly money .
Are the stories well written ? Well MORE THEN WELL WRITTEN they are TERRIFIC .
Do i have fun playing the farm game ? nope i dont .
Do i mind others playing the farm game Nope as long it keeps them happy .
Do i think half the people on the net are lost cause ? Yup i do , and its not that are stupid , infact intelligence went up , just logic and realisme went down the drain !
Do i think short biased opnion of ME MESELF and AMY are waste of time , without looking at the greater picture ? yes i do .
So back to you beth for the weather cast .
Cause it looks very sunny with some clouds on the horizons . -

Firewyvern, the changes were explicitly meant to hit the high-end extremes. Congratulations, you got hit.
The limited lines you type .

You even read your own lines , sounds cool but totally meaningless. -

My character is totally unenhanced. Don't get me wrong, I can afford to send myself -KB IOs.
The 'constant ambushes and sieges'? Good grief. We're talking about playing BRUTES. BRUTES. What is this malarkey about low on damage?
Praetoria may challenge some people, but any one who rolls a brute and has a hard time in Praetoria who has so much as a single vet badge needs to delete that brute, because it's like failing to fall down.
Listen DUDE if you cannot do what i cannot even explain , you stink !!!
Honestly anyone playing a brute ? translation anyone not playing the brute power choices i play .
Whats the malarkey about low damage ? - translation things die in 2 blows in optimal conditions , and Bosses die in 4 blows ... See its not hard to kill stuff .
Especially not with ghoul maps being junk full >.< i mean they meant to HIT YOU !! (anybody already softcapped at level 10 :P )
Praetoria may be challenging .... Translation i think i just teamed trough half the arcs didnt make moral choices .
Ambushes and Sieges .... translation WTF are those ?
Sorry dude i am now finishing my 2nd toon , first went testing crusader resistance arcs (that i found intrigiuging but not exciting enough) . 2nd i went pure hardcore loyalist . and i love the arcs .
Do i have a challenging time , yes i do i find all those nifty status reduction stuff quite funny .
Infact i found my offender even more fun to play then my brute . but i do see that others might find the challenge a bit too much .
Now if i spoke like the rest of you dudes , i would say this game sucks , cause there is no challenge at all other then farm grind with IO equiped .
But luckily i am not like you guys and girls , and say ok this game is fun cause the story are well written . and i am still paying to see creativities .
The story are worth paying for not , some lousy talk about DUDE THIS IS MY OPNION there is NO CHALLENGE . translation OLD CONTENT SUCKS , NEW CONTENTS SUCKS wtf i am just leveling in a team, i do not read story arcs .
I see green coming up i press green , i see yellow coming up i press yellow .
Now peace out your opnion is your opnion , but dont expect it to be the universal truth .
Neither is my opnion the universal truth .
