    Defense *De*buff applying to Defense was obviously intended functionality. They even put the "De" in front of buff to emphasize it.

    To be fair the older (easier) iRaids left the newer harder iRaids on little more than life support and when you could only get aiXP in Magi only the easy part of that was run with any regularity.

    Coming from a WoW background I consider Hami and MSR as world bosses, not raids.

    While Hami was needed for HamiOs, the enhancements weren't bound to the character that received it.

    You didn't need to be max level for the RWS and once they removed the level restriction entirely anyone could get in on a MSR as it was basically an AoE fest. Once Destiny was on the scene it was completely a merit pinata.

    Hate the regime? No. I hate the boneheaded decision to play me-too with raids on a budget that couldn't possibly support it in a game that previously did not have the raider culture and the establishing of raiders as special unique snowflakes that required any alternative paths to absolutely suck to force anyone who wanted those powers at a normal pace into the raids whether they liked them or not.
  4. The post Alpha/shard Incarnate system. Pretty much turned the game dynamics on its head. Raiding, grinding, not friendly to alts and bled into the non-Incarnate game whether the rest of the team liked or not. Nothing says homogenization like rolling destinies and judgements.

    Then there was the orders-of-magnitude speed difference between the raid speed and the DA speed. One weekend of raids could take months to accomplish in DA.

  6. I think Cthulhu himself would take SAN loss from that.

    So are the Titan Crew a part of the Bilderbergs or *dramatic pause* are the Bilderbergs just a part of the Titan Crew?

    Purchased silver freeform slots might be able to. Though with the $50 price tag I'll let someone who knows what they are doing experiment with it.

    As long as the Silver ATs, especially the free ones (all two of them for tanks), are kept in mind I'll be a happy tanker.

    I honestly dunno where I'll go for information. I doubt I'll go to Titan Network (at least not the forums). I guess I'll just stick with SEGS.

    There's a-bit-spilled-on-the-driveway-during-an-oil-change toxic and then there's superfund-site-seven-generations-uninhabitable toxic.

    If order was important I'd switch them but otherwise exactly my list.

    Not being able to play a character because you'd out level your buddies or having to play a character because you're on the verge of being out leveled are not fun.
  12. Perhaps you should lodge your complaints with the Titan network over at their forum, this is the CoH site.

    If someone can pry the game away from NCSoft my biggest wish is that they'd keep it compatible with current costume files.

    Characters might be deleted but as long as I had their files they weren't truly gone.

    Once they killed CoH I decided I was only going to do the fun stuff until the servers went dark, so no grinding levels to grind levels or futzing about with builds or respecs, just TFs with people I enjoying doing TFs with and maybe giving Westin Phipps a few thrashings he so rightly deserves.

    With that aside, with just a couple weeks left to go before the forums go dark, can't we spend that time supporting each other? We all have at least one thing in common here.
    BP did nicely ask us, all, to lay off. Parting shots have been launched, how about we not have another volley?

    Urge to invade neighboring country, rising.

    Seriously though, my main issue was was dragging in another forum's issues, there are other issues, but I don't think those need to be elaborated.

    Woot! Now I have one less person to twist my posts.

    Though unfortunately he won't see that German-Americans didn't have a fun time around WWI or WWII here in the States and will miss the fact that some people find Nazi comparisons, even in jest, just as offensive as he's making the kibun issue to be.

    What it does mean is it is a grossly degrading thing to do based off their past/culture.

    I'm not sure if you are being purposefully ignorant or are just stupid and can't comprehend what I wrote.
    It didn't seem to matter which German company. It could have been any German company, and German person, you didn't care which.

    Or perhaps you're just going over the handle bars with this kibun thing.

    Well you called all Germans Nazis. You're off to a good start.

    It is called a METAPHOR. I NEVER said that is how I perceive the German culture.
    In fact if you would have actually read and understood what I said: It would be a VERY disgusting and hateful thing to do....like the kibun.
    Twisting metaphors to their breaking point seemed be the thing the anti-Titan crowd was into but I guess only they get to do it. Side-ist.

    edit: Sure it's more E_L's schtick but as you've pointed out, one is representative of all since all Titans are now racists.

    But that was the Friday of the three day weekend due to Labor Day.

    Also, you want "regardless".

    You brought up the racism angle here. If you wanted to combat it there, you should have done so there, not troll with it here.

    It wouldn't have ruined their entire weekend if they announced it while no one was in the office on Monday.
