I check for the details, and it shows 3 celerity stealths of 30 feet each.

This toon doesn't have SS - yet. I plan to respec that in soon. Just wondering about this variation.

+HP is possibly the ONLY non-broken form of Mitigation we have in this game. Contrast it with, Defense and Resistance, both of which give accelerating returns, each point giving more and more survival time than the previous until near the cap gaining even 5 points of defense doubles your lifespan. Meanwhile, Each HP point you gain increases your Health bar in a linear fashion. Having twice as much HP means it takes twice as much DPS to kill you in the same amount of time.

I'm strongly in favor of not only increasing blaster HP cap to +100% above base, but doing the same for ALL AT's. Mostly for the sake of making Frostworks good.

Those are my 2 cents.

Riiight... are we playing the same game? You noticed the removal of level barriers from hazard zones, right? And from the RWZ? And the introduction of SSKing, to make teaming easier - which is what the suggestion's about, removing one more barrier to teaming?

COH is one of the most barrier-free, casual-friendly, socially-enabling MMOs out there. I want to get rid of one more barrier.

Removing those has not turned the game into "a crap shoot of no achievement crapfest," as you put it. Nor will removing this one.

And if you agree with Mr. Elitist "I AM ROLEPLAYER, I need NOT this RIFF-RAFF!" ... well, you're not exactly a shining example of a great teammate, anyway. Though it does sound like you'd be the "inferior type of personality" Mr. Elitist there would snub.

What we don't need in the game are elitist jackholes, thanks. Much like you're being here. The "Inferior type of personality?" Frankly, that's what you're showing here.

Not only did I not bother reading the rest of your tripe, but after seeing this kind of elitist BS, I don't think anything you have to say about *anything* is worthwhile.

Oh, and do note this isn't about the *ability* to finish the arc. There's nowhere that I said I couldn't. It's about having an artificial barrier in place that doesn't need to be there. But thanks for proving you earn the first three letters of assume.

Er... you already KNOW where to go. You just can't get there. This does not support anyone "knowing how to get around the game world." This series of missions doesn't even support "knowing how to get around Steel Canyon."

Besides, you have noticed things like, oh, "Teleport to Contact," base teleporters, mission teleporters, the top tier zone teleport in the teleport pool... right?

Generally, pointing someone to the tram/ferry lets people know "how to get around the game world." A ridiculous series of missions locking you out of a zone does not.



I've played with multi-year vets who were utterly inept and a bigger drag on the mission/TF than the "newbies." They should, in theory, know "how to get around" (and work with others) better than they did. Obviously running a completely unrelated series of missions didn't help them.



.... right. That makes you look SO much better. Especially when you're acting like one yourself with this response.

Perhaps next time you should actually try *reading* what you respond to.

• [Walk] was intended as a RP, Non-Combat Power. I think he mentioned things about the Detoggling of Powers & the like after the Power's release, but I'm not sure.

Now since Powers like the Rocket Board & Flying Carpet are in the same vein of RP-based Non-Combat Powers, shouldn't the same things apply to them as [Walk]?

[Ninja Run] is a different bit of a thing. It was meant to be pseudo-combat Power, so that meant extra Animations were to be done when the scheduling of the Power's Development took place. And it's still a Power that has to be looked at whenever a new Weapon Power is added (the floating TW models come to mind...).

Bottom Line: Using the BAB quote I listed upthread, to make 3 Non-Combat Powers effective in combat, you would need to schedule Development time for, let's say, roughly 105 - 110 Animations per Power. Is it honestly worth the time and money cost involved and hoping you're not seriously breaking anything else in the Code to do that? The Devs, at this time, don't believe it is worth it.

Thank you for the time...

For the most part, this falls under 'Standard Code Rant'. Now add that amount of time plus animations for the couple of new weapon stances added since this post (back in '08) times each Non-Com Travel Power. It just realistically isn't worth it.


Thank you for the time...
