No more than most of the costumes in this game.

Hibernate is nothing more than a power to be used, just like any other. If you see me start to run because you have me in a situation that you could kill me, and chase me only for me to hit Hibernate at the last second with three of my friends right behind you, I'd say you would be the silly one for falling for it in the first place.

I dont see anything wrong a different ruleset if its to balance the ATs.

You know, I would agree if it weren't for two things.

1) Things became more unbalanced than ever.

2) Those new rules removed a lot of what made the game fun.

I like this idea.

Devs, do this. It'd be a good thing.

There's roughly a 15 point damage difference at base between Havoc Punch/Charged Brawl and Fire Blast/Blaze. That's before factoring in Fiery Embrace. The amount of mitigation one gains from not having to get in melee with a number of AT's is priceless, however.

Not to say that Fire is better than Elec, both have their good points, but that the strict damage between the two shouldn't be the only thing you look at.

I enjoy playing villains. In fact, I almost entirely play villains. I would really like extra endurance for my characters. The only way to get extra endurance redside is to PvP. I haven't PvPed yet. So, no, extra rewards won't entice me to PvP. In fact, you could offer to pay me $10 million dollars, and I still wouldn't enter a PvP zone.

Yeah, but you're crazy, Cel.

Also, it isn't necessary to PvP to get that accolade. Simply sitting in the hospital afk will do the trick just as well. Well, unless you consider getting the Lanista badge PvP...

Maybe they were interested in fighting, it just wasn't their turn yet.

One should do them a favor and give them their turn that much sooner.

Was that the same person who has been doing Hecktic Life this whole time?

Honestly, if all of your future strips are as good as this one was, I won't have another complaint again. Good show.

I'd say it's much easier to assume they are interested in fighting him. They entered the zone after all.

Ice/SS

My first character ever. I loved it back when Ice was "gimp" and still do to this day.

It does, actually.

Ask it nicely?

There's no irony there.

You're using the word incorrectly.

ahh, I see what you're saying.

Lost track of the quote chain.

Also, you get banned if you use it.

I believe what he's saying is that it should have happened at launch for all aspects of the game instead of slapping it on this far along after release and only in one part of the game.

Hey, we already got rid of TOTALITY. We don't need another one.

Good Changes:
Taunt's -range
Selectable Arena Maps.
PvP IO's

Bad Changes:
Everything else.

You actually needed to come out of the shadows to talk? Newbie Stalker!

[/ QUOTE ]

Real stalkers learn to converse normally while still being completely invisible. It freaks out the target a lot more that way.

I used to do that to people in SC all the time. Say hi, ask them how they're doing. It was hilarious how twitchy they'd get after that.

For the devs, it's one thing. They can check with legal to see what passes for a "safe" reference and what doesn't before it goes through. For the players, it's something else. They may not want to take that chance.

Not exactly. While DR and Travel Suppression are options, the changes to damage being based on animation time, mez duration/protection/resistance changes, and universal resists are still stuck. This means that with DR off, you could self cap your resistances on a squishy just with your epic shield. One can understand why that'd be a problem.

Ironically enough, the devs also called unsuppressed travel via powers like Speed Boost, Quickness, etc a "bug", but refuse to "fix it" in PvE

Ironically enough, what was pretty much a complete buff in PvE was also something of a nerf in PvP.

When stalkers got their damage increased, they also changed how AS worked. It gained a higher base damage with a somewhat smaller critical from hide portion. The result being it had less unresisted damage in PvP than before.

Unfortunately, seeing them in a zone doesn't necessarily mean that they are a proficient build. If we were to list sets that we've seen rather than what's proven to be genuinely useful, we'd have nearly every combination listed over time.

Wrong. It was players who...

Would that be the same players who flocked to the MA so they could abuse it and farm better?

Did you ever stop to think that increased aggro abilities may have caused some redundancy issues for the AT and that Tankers in general could be a case of overspecialization? Or than the game today is a different beast than then and perhaps Tankers as they are now don't fit as well into the current paradigm as they used to?

No you didn't. You're convinced Tankers are awesome, have no design flaws and couldn't stand to be tweaked the same way Domms just got tweaked. Hardly sounds like a non-biased viewpoint to me, but hey whatever.

This forum played a big part in directing Tanker changes

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, for good or ill it has in the past. And now it enforces a status quo and gangs up to attack and suppress people suggesting changes that don't agree with that status quo. And that includes not only me, but anyone who comes by and disagrees being an aggro monkey is all that and thinks that maybe Tankers could use improvements and adjustments.

But you're NOT the totality of Tankers, or players of this game for that matter, and it's been my observation there's more people playing this game who are open to Tanker offense tweaks than I've seen here who are utterly against them. So maybe some day the devs will see that too and act on it.

And I'll say it again: For two and a half years I've been standing up to you guys here with the odds not in my favour and taking whatever you throw at me. So who's the real Tanker?

aka, someone else does more damage, but is less survivable. That can't be right!
