Please tell me where exactly you thought that was rude.

Was it the "Also, before posting ideas about power sets, please think them out and present them with data"?


Not only did he say please, but it's also not rude to ask somebody to think through an idea a little bit. I've seen people ask you to do this before. You've been here long enough to have seen powersets suggested before. You've probably seen people put enough into it that they've shown nine powers that they were thinking of.

We're not asking you to provide us with extremely well-balanced numbers, including exact mezz effects, or anything like that. But a brief description of how you perceive the set, and at least some powers within it, to show that this isn't just a whim, would be kind of nice.

I, like you, can come up with a million ideas a day. However, thinking through an idea before posting it, is considered polite to the people that you are asking to read your suggestion. Putting up only the bare bones, and then criticizing people for not understanding what you were thinking, isn't considered polite.

In your first post, you made no numerical suggestions that would indicate the type of damage increase that you later suggested. As such, how are we to know what types of numbers you were thinking about? Why would we assume that the damage on the set would be vastly higher than what we see in the game now when we compare a DoT power to a burst damage power?

Without some sort of information on what you were thinking, we have to make assumptions, and those cane be wrong (as seen here). Putting more information in your OPs can help cut down on the number of assumptions that need to be made to try to get to your idea.

The more thought that you put into your OPs, in general the more helpful the responses will be, because people have more information to go off of.

This game's teaming rate is starting to match that of WoW.

If Rewards arent the answer,what is,or could be?


Come on players,you wrecked AE and all those teams that I just loved joining and playing,and making progress in-game on,especially on red side.You wrecked AE because we wanted to make the game harder for players to find teammates and gain levels,while you all laughed and danced in joy.You left other players no choice but to use AE when you just sat on our butts at Pocket D,and meaninglessly roleplayed.What the heck did you guys care anyway?!?!You all were too busy holding Pocket D down.


Now,I am presenting to you all something else to destroy:The players ability(including me) to be unable to say no to teams,whether it be trying to get a coveted reward we all want,or something else entirely.

I cannot explain it any better than this way.If you all do not know what I am talking about,dont worry..this will happen to you all in time,and then you will know what I am talking about,but how could you not know what I speak of?

Let us destroy the need to not want to team.Let us put some meat on a stick to motivate those statues with something who just come on-line to take up space.Who's with me?!

I had heard here and there that the devs hardly go to the sugestion forums (and I just checked dev digest, no posts in the sugestion forums-although they may still go there and just read). So to sum it up I am sorry, and again please forgive me.

My first Dark Miasma character, and my first defender. The only trouble I'm having is running out of endurance after every single mob. But now I've got stamina, so things should start to improve a bit.

There is one question I have to go with this, however- why is it that we still can't have more or unlimited room on ignore lists? I put a player on ignore today, and was a little dismayed by the fact that I bumped someone else off of the list. I find it a little vexing that our ignore space is still limited. Does anyone know, or care to speculate on why this hasn't been addressed yet?

I dont expect them to run out and change the game to suit me. But discussing it does not include calling people names and attacking their intelligence. The game is too easy for some, they need to be nerfed to bring them down to the level of others. At least that is what we were told when EM was nerfed into the stone age.
