There. Discussion over.

You think that's bad? Check out this guy. And no, that isn't body paint.

I'd go with something like this, assuming they're all plain SO builds (so no perma doms):

Dark/stone brute (main tank)
fire/willpower or invul brute
fire/dark miasma corr
fire/kin corr
sonic/cold corr
fire/thermal corr
fortunata
fortunata

I did not intentionally pick no hero AT's, it just came out that way

I just think it's very dangerous to assume things/theorise about big game altering changes like this when we have absolutely no info at all to go on.
People will get ideas stuck in their heads and build up their hope for a certain scenario and then get their panties all in a knot when those expectations aren't met, crying about betrayal and broken promisses by the devs while they go along.

that way then no-one gets penalized and no-one gets upset

[/ QUOTE ]
Yea sure ... if there wasn't anything to get upset about I'm sure some people would manage to get upset at the lack of things to get upset about . No matter what you do people always will get upset, as these forums have proven countless of times.

Another thing so wot if some peeps farm for badges its a good way for peeps to team up and do something fun.

[/ QUOTE ]
The problem is that the gazillion of farming missions (of any types, not just badge farms) are clogging up the system, making it harder for people who want to use the MA for what it's designed for to find anything worthwhile.
And if all you care about 'teaming up and do something fun' you can do that too in regular missions.

No, I'm not just another farm hater. I don't care about it either way. But I do have a problem with it when it interrupts with regular play or makes use of obvious exploits or rule bending like most of the MA farms have been doing.
And yes I am a badgehunter and my main villain will lose a slew of badges because of this, dropping back below the 500 badges mark ( ).

Also I don't see how keeping all the badges but just lowering the numbers would have been any kind of solution. People WILL keep farming them no matter how low the values are, right up untill the point where the values would be so low that you would be able to get all the badges in a couple of arcs. Earning 100+ badges in a couple of hours might seem fun to some, but I really don't see the point.

It was a mistake to add so many 'farmable' badges to the MA, I feared that right at the release of I14. But what's done is done, the devs have learned a lesson and imo they solved it in the best way that was possible.

Still sucks to lose some of those badge titles though ...

Join global channels like Sals Badgehunters and Union Taskforce (both are union server, there are equivalents for defiant). Usually there's plenty of stuff being organised over there.

I don't really see them changing this as it would be too exploitable, enter mish, kill all mobs but one (or however meany you can safely survive), set heal on auto and go afk for the night. Voila healing badges for no work while you sleep.

This is how I get my "damage taken badges" (with rest on instead of self heals)

What Cybercel and DR.T said. I've been reading these forums on a near daily basis since I've started playing 33 months ago (haven't posted much though ). There've always been some whiners and general internet forum idiocy, but all in all this was the best gaming board I've ever been a member of. But last week I decided not to read it anymore because all that post Issue 14 b*tching and moaning was actually making me not wanting to play CoH anymore, this while I really love the MA. Today I decided to see if there was anything new posted on here, what with the 5 year anniversary and all.
That was obviously a mistake. Reading these boards has actually succeeded in what 3 hours of traffic jams in the rain couldn't do: destroying the good mood I was in today.

So this is probably going to be my last post on here for a while. I'll probably check in on the Creative boards every know and then for Dr. Destiny's comics and the city of cute threads. Those always make me smile at least.
Not that anyone on here will miss me, but I felt like saying it anyway

Editted some typos

Hero side today was loads of fun loads of GM spawns and AVs also loads in the zone fighting......villain side 3 GMs and 4 AVs but half the number fighting and the worst lag i have seen couldnt even move.

So hero side great no lag and fun villain side rubbish

[/ QUOTE ]
I found it the other way around. I logged in on my PB for a short stint but found I couldn't even move from the lag without running into walls and getting stuck on fences. So I logged back out after 5 mins.

On villain side however I got some good fun with a couple of my SG mates and a few dozen random strangers slaying hordes of GM's (3 winterlords, 2 eochais and a Deathsurge at once was fun ^^, or watching 4 full teams get wiped at once by a freedom phalanx spawn.) for just over an hour. Nearly no lag at first and at the end the lag wasn't worse than on your average mothership raid.

Yey, a positive topic!

Happy B-day City of Heroes!

[ QUOTE ]
To be quite honest I can't tell. I saw screenies of Atlas so I saw the amount of Kronos Titans on Atlas Statue etc. (Too afraid of my computer exploding to see for myself ) but when I logged on I flew around Cap for a bit and saw Manti.. Thats it. But then again I did crash after that but it seems a bit unfair to me.. As usual, the villains are neglected.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh f'ing please ... Of all the justified and unjustified moanings on these boards this villain persecution complex is the most rediculous.

I agree with EVERYTHING said in this topic. (That hasn't happened in few months)

Revamped Shadow Shards for villains!

I've killed the entire Freedom Phalanx 3 times and nearing 30 GM's ... and I've only been on for just over an hour in total. You guys must have some real unlucky timing.

I love the look of everything great so far! And it's all stuff people have been moaning about for the past few weeks/months!
It does look a bit meagre for a big 5 year anniversary issue though. So my guess is they are holding back the big selling point of the issue.

That or this actually is all there is for Issue 15 but it is going into beta soon, and since none of that stuff looks really test intensive it might possibly go live at the end of may still within the anniversary month.

A bit late, but still a happy birthday you weirdo!

Aww, nicely done

I love her, thanks!

Someone go get Dr Vahzilok, I think a few of the Dev/Management team members need new brains...

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, insulting people will surely help ...

But I agree that this is getting annoying. I understand and accept that the patches are necessary. I even don't mind that much that it happens in the middle of the day, but they should at least let us know (in game, on the updater, on the forums, preferably all 3).
I took half a day of work today because I have somewhere to be this weekend and I thought to get an hour or 2 of CoH in before leaving this afternoon. So much for that.

And why are most of them of the "big boned" persuasion?

[/ QUOTE ]

Americans.

War Witch is on the first row in the center of the picture, just behind the crouching Ex Libris if I'm seeing it right.

I think that's exactly the way they're hoping it'll work. A 10 mins cooldown won't affect the droprate for normal play too much, but it might be enough to slow down farming.

[ QUOTE ]
It's like free brownie points. The boobs are all huge, which is sexist, impractical, and objectifies women! I'M A DESIRABLE MODERN MAN!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yea that, or I'm genuinly not a fan of big boobs. You did have a good point with the rest of your rant though

Anyway, I'm not really that fond of this sort of 3D art, but I can see the progress made with your most recent postings. Imo they look a lot more lifelike than earlier examples.

[ QUOTE ]
Since they're posted in the french section of the forum, i'll just link to that post, here and the fact that it's been on the french forum for quite awhile now without being deleted.

edit, fixed link... i think

You broke it

Edit: booh ninja edits!

It depends on how the costume pieces look. If I like it I buy it, simple really

I've not gotten that far yet on my peacebringer, but I'll hazard a guess that since the cysts in the ITF are 'inactive' aswell that this is WAI.

Indeed, this change makes that Lightning Storm isn't the most usefull power in the set, I won't contest you on that. But saying that you will 'bench your (illusion/storm) controller' because of this, indicating that this change made him unplayable, is completely rediculous at best.
Anyway, you do what you want, in the meantime I'll continue to kick butt with my ice/storm corr.

If you aren't getting tired of doing these, I'd love to get your take on my little demon princess.
