Coming from Ultima Online, this is just a walk in the park for me. Those people make changes to where you have to spend another 100+ hours just to be able to recover from the "nerfs".
However, this SS nerf does affect my AR/DEV blaster rather substantially. First, my damage is all smash/lethal. Everything has resist to it, including other players in the PvP realm so I rely on super speed and cloaking device to get me in range to set mines and do my thing. Now I must turn SS off and lose my fast getaway playstyle. No biggie, i can live with it. I respec and change my play style to suit the changes and find new strategies to take others down in the PvP realm.
PvE, same thing. I respec to be able to accomidate MY playstyle. I dropped a few things, did some research.. picked up some new things ... and BAM.. i'm actually better than I was before. New strategies, new playstyle, new everything. WOOOHOOO! My blaster is a whole new experience for me. THUS making the game have return playability and worth the $45 monthly I pay for it.
Look, we all must realize that MMO's change for balance, or for whatever the reason might be. We must cope with it, move on or leave. It's simple. If you can't handle it, leave the game and find something else. I am sure that any other MMO you play will do the same exact thing with "nerfing". If nerfs bother you, then well... play PS2 or XBox.
I whine and complain on these boards just as much as the next guy about certain issues. In the long run, I either change my playstyle, or I am a gimp. Simple as that.
My question now is this.... when CoV comes out, will good vs. evil be GLOBAL? Or will it be lame and make it available in certain "zones"?
Superman never had to go to a certain "zone" to fight evil. Nor did Batman or anyone else for that matter. If evil came to Gotham City or earth in general, the Superheroes were there to take care of business. My point is this..... I think that PvP should be a major influence on this game mainly for the good vs. evil rivalry. I never heard superman say that he only wanted to fight NPC's. This is my OPINION only, so don't flame me for it. I understand that some don't get into PvP. I understand that completely. Eventually, we will all forget about this whole situation and be back to normal waiting for the next BIG thing to happen in CoH.
I wish they would do something about the animation times for Flamethrower and Full Auto.. OMG when a scrapper starts getting hit by it, BOOOOOOM, I'm dead. LMAO!
I still think that blasters should get the "DRIVE BY SHOOTING" nerf. Shooting while Running... oh joy!
I don't plan on going anywhere. I plan on changing with the everchanging game. As long as I'm having fun..I'm stayin! The day I STOP having fun, I'll move onto something else like I did when I came to CoH from UO.
Game on!
