Knocking it down to 181 (enhanced) is about a 19% reduction from live.

Doms will still be kicking butt, but that is noticeable.

Yeah, it seems quite a lot of people are totally misunderstanding the numbers posted. I had a guy in RV yesterday trying to convince everybody that the fix will only be for like 7% or something.

Charged Bolts after changes: 181 damage at lvl 50
Charged Bolts for Blasters: 191 damage at lvl 50

Apparently, people are somehow thinking that means a 10 pt decrease in damage, when in reality it's talking about doms vs blasters after the change. They will be doing slightly less damage than blasters after the fix. That is reasonable.

Well considering it's been admitted that there's a BUG causing doms to do more damage than intended, I'm not sure what the arguing is about. Once that's fixed, they'll still do much better damage than before. They just won't do more damage than a blaster, while also having a plethora of mezzes....becaused that IS overpowered.

Welcome to half a year ago.

It is most definitely game breaking. But there's a fairly simple way around it....just slot TWO -kb IO's. Most people have just learned to do this, which gets rid of the problem. But that doesn't mean the bug doesn't exist. Just that there's a fairly easy way to deal with it.

Btw hi mel. Welcome back.

I understand the game mechanics. That has nothing to do with the fact that it's bugged. There is zero reason for mezzes to stop only half the kb protections in the game, while doing nothing to the other half. Either all powers need to be affected by it, or none. Otherwise, it's a bug.

You sure about that max? Practiced Brawler gives 10000% KB resist and 10 points of kb protection. Acro only offers KB protection. Does a mez'ed target running PB's KB protection go down if you monitor it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes I'm sure. ALL melee class mez protections offer the same exact 10000% KB resist and 10 points of protection. Acro isn't the only thing affected by the mez+kb thing though. ALL toggle kb protections are affected. Integration, unyielding, IW, etc. Even with their kb resist, a single KO blow will send a regen flying. Meanwhile, it'll do nothing to an SR. That has to be broken.

That's pretty great news. Thanks sun.

Mel and mac are actually correct. I've been making this point ever since I13 came out. Mez+KB is bugged.

It's very easy to prove. Only toggle KB protection is affected by the bug. Click mez protections (like practiced brawler) are 100% immune. This is obviously not intended design, and nowhere in the game does it say that click mez protections are completely superior to toggles because they don't get suppressed by mez.

Basically, based on the fact that only SOME mez protections are affected, you can say with certainty that it's a bug. But it's been in the game since I13, and there has been zero word about it being fixed. So it is most likely going to be just like the placate bug. Known about, but ignored as if it doesn't exist.

Anyway, in my original post, I meant the NPC mez bug, in addition to the mez procs all being bugged. That's all been fixed now.

^ perfect summary

You really think that's gonna last?

RV was way too laggy last night for me to make any real decisions, but the couple fights I had vs doms were kind of absurd. I'd be at like 20% HP before I was even able to take ANY action. That's pretty silly.

Duh. Looking at history, we've learned that they can't fix a bug without introducing at least 3 new ones. They're fixing the mez bug apparently, so do the math

This has mostly to do with lag. What you see happening on your screen is something that actually already happened, sometimes in case of bad lag (like what I experience 90% of the time), it can be like 3 seconds before. So by the time you see them AS'ing, in reality, they could be under a second away from actually landing the AS. So even though you do hit them, it's after the fact.

The same applies to the breaking LoS thing. I find that quite often I can AS people that have clearly run out of my line of sight, and sometimes I get AS'd when I've been out of their LoS for a good 2 seconds. Because lag is bs.

So, now that the devs have gone even further out of their way to eliminate arena PvP in CoH, sounds like you all just need to forget about it and come do zone PvP with the rest of us.

Cool cool. I've known dawun for a while now...but just from zone PvP stuff.

Damn supermax i logged on my stalker figuring you'lld be on to help us farm our new favorite blaster :P all we got to kill is tech-noir. Your in renegades?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah, I was in GMW when it existed. Haven't really bothered with joining SG's since then, since I pretty much just do zone PvP.

I've been out of town on vacation for a week, so I haven't been around. But I should be back in RV tomorrow.

Also, lol at the baddo changing his forum name, that's awesome. Next thing we should expect is him actually changing his blaster's name too. Then again, it won't help. Really bad blasters kind of stand out.

Yeah, I should have said "taken out of the game" instead of "fixed" hehe.

I think it's more based on individual attacks than AT modifiers. It seems they basically took every attack by itself and assigned it a value.

After all, there are powers that don't follow any AT modifier rules. For example, blaster sonic attacks do more than a corr's, but howl dows much more for a corr than for a blaster. No logic, and clearly not based on a general AT modifier. Seems to be more of an individual value for each power.

Rude players like supermax are why the COH 'community' has been fractured and destroyed.

You're a complete moron. I'm one of the nicest people on the server. Only time I talk trash is to defend myself against idiot trash talkers like yourself. Case in point, yesterday. I kill you first time...don't say a word. Immediately you call me a noob. Kill you again, another "noob". Another time...."noob".

After that, I decided to show you who the real noob is. Too bad you're too ignorant to realize it.

And no, you never killed me. Only time I died (like 2 total times) was in 8v1 ganks, but even there you couldn't get the kill. Unlike you, I actually know how to interpret the combat log, so I can see who killed me.

Anyway, enough arguing with a moron. From now on, you're just gonna get owned. Luckily for you, it's not something you have to get used to. You've got more experience than anybody, it seems.

I was actually surprised to see how bad he was. You could tell he's bad just from how clueless his posts are, but some clueless people at least have a slight grasp of the game mechanics. This guy doesn't. Sitting in one place, spamming AoE attacks with his PvE build. And then talking mad trash literally EVERY single time he dies, which is within 20 seconds of coming out of his base.

It's like a guy without legs bragging about running the marathon. I didn't know people could be that delusional.

Keep talkin' loudmouth...

Ok. I'll also keep killing you.

Maybe one day I'll let you watch me play my blaster, so you can get at least somewhat of an idea how to play one.

[ QUOTE ]
hmm .. u and bluesting will get along well

[/ QUOTE ]

LOL, that guy has to be the worst blaster on the server. He was talking mad trash to me yesterday, after being owned over and over.

It finally made sense to me why he complains so much on the forums. I'd complain too if I died every 30 seconds, without even a slight chance of killing an AFK person.

Last night I actually mostly played heroes....mostly my blaster. Was surprised that a flying blaster could do so well lol.

Don't worry, I will bring the cookies. And by cookies, I mean A.S. IN YO FACE!

I'd like to apologize for being a bit ignorant in regard to RV lately. I was a regular before I13, but then I13 came and the zone was ruined. It really was a joke during I13. But then I14 came, elusivity and some other stuff was fixed, but I didn't bother trying the zone again. Just assumed it would still suck.

Well, last night I spent like 5 hours there, and it was pretty awesome. Way more active than sirens, better teamwork, and just overall more fun. So yeah, you'll be seeing me there a lot more

Btw, recently Divine said that RV is much harder to play a stalker than in sirens. I gotta disagree. Simple reason is....only vil AT in sirens is stalkers. In RV, you see every AT, and quite a few doms. There's really nothing easier than AS'ing someone that's mezzed by a dom, which is a constant occurence in RV. Meanwhile in sirens, as a stalker, you're pretty much completely on your own. Most people don't even have a slight idea about teamwork. So yeah, thanks to my re-acquired respect for RV, I even started to like my EM/regen again
