Marketing Representative: I'm not allowed to give you marketing information.

CoH Forums population: But… you're the Marketing Representative.

Marketing Representative: And what kind of Marketing Representative would I be if I let people like me know things that I'm not supposed to know? I mean, I know what I know because I have to know it, and if I don't have to know it, I don't tell me, and I don't let anyone else tell me, either. Now look, you've asked most of the developers. Why don't you speak to Mod_8? Maybe he knows something about GOING ROGUE.

CoH Forums population: Under the terms of use for the forums, Mod_8 is not allowed to give us any marketing information without Marketing's approval.

Marketing Representative: So you'll ask via PM. And I can give you reasonable assurances that the Marketing Representative will not ban you for doing so.

CoH Forums population: Because you won't tell yourself about it.

Marketing Representative: I try never to get involved in my own job. Too much trouble.

CoH Forums population: This is a very strange policy you have here, Mr. Marketing Representative.

Marketing Representative: Thank you.

It's just common sense.

Yes, I sometimes type something wrong by accident, but I will admit when I do and move on. But when people who are in College and HS or adults who should know better than use linguistics wrong should use spell check sometimes.

Like your example "because they have better things to do than use spell check, it makes me feel like people are going out of their(the're/there) way to make themselves look better by trying to make me look worse"

When you use Their, that is the right one. Not the're or there. There is apposed to a position and the're is a shortned They are. It's simple to use the right verbage. Not looking down on anyone. Heck, even I have to look to my wife to spell simple things when I should know better. LMAO

To add: Sometimes it's fun to spel rong in game to mess wit people. u no wut i meen? :P

Whatever the current snag is for the redraw issue is analagous to whatever it was that made BAB think geometry particles couldn't be color-tinted when they're generated. Don't be so quick to dismiss the possibility.

Just turn on NR, run past a foe and hit them, and watch the few seconds of slow movement that follow before it picks back up.

You CAN enhance the flight packs with some powers, IIRC, swit, quickness, syphone speed, ect ect, and i'd hardly consider the zero g pack fast, but that's nigher here nor there really.

My argument still stands that, other travel powers getalot more from temp travel then flight does, and even some combanations of temp powers and PP powers, and ninja run (granted you have to by it) is faster then fly. Being easier to use, IMO, is not justification for being 20 mph slower(round a bout) then the next fastest TP. (superjump)

I'm not asking for much here... i'm still willing to be the slowest... just not slower then none travel power builds...

gee, pvp sure sounds like fun when you describe it like this!

Actually, no, that isn't my original argument, by any stretch of the imagination. In no sense whatsoever did I either say or even imply that you have to fight back (case #1) or that you have to attack a target you could two-shot or maybe three-shot kill from outside their attack range (case #2). What I asked, precisely and in as many words, was, "why wouldn't you?" And more precisely, what do you gain from running away to the base and exiting the zone that you wouldn't gain more quickly and more efficiently by just fighting them, win or lose?

And all that anybody can tell me that they gain when they do this is "I didn't PvP." OK. That's what, not why. Why is that so important? Seven humanoid mobs on the screen, one of which has a player behind the controls; why is it such an unimaginably awful thing that you'd give up on getting the Shivan, give up on whatever other badge you were there for, flee the zone altogether, rather than tab over to them and push a few buttons? "I don't want to." OK, I understood that as soon as they fled the zone. I didn't ask if they wanted to or not, I asked why not? "Because it's not fun" is an unresponsive answer; it doesn't explain what part of it is unfun or non-fun or anti-fun. By superspeeding away or stealthing up and flying away you've already decided not to have fun, you've given up for now on the fun you came to the zone to get. I'm asking about your plan B after your plan A (do whatever without seeing another player) has fallen through. Why is running away less unfun than either winning or losing?

Some people have answered with things that they're actually afraid would happen, thank you. But even those left me scratching my head. Someone was afraid that they might hit the other person a few times and the person they hit would leave. Didn't you want them to leave, in the first place? Someone else was afraid that if they turned and fought, three or six or however many other people would materialize out of nowhere and fight them. If they were going to do that, wouldn't they have done that at the start of the fight, aren't you worrying about something that obviously isn't going to happen? Someone else was worried that they'd turn out to suck at PvP and lose, but they didn't explain why getting sent to the hospital that way is more painful or unpleasant or humiliating than going to (or by) the hospital the longer, slower way of running away.

Which leaves it at "if I don't run away, I might fight another player, and that would be bad." And I remain as baffled as I ever was as to why that's so intolerable, so awful, that people would give up on what they obviously already wanted to do rather than risk it. *shrug* If I don't get an answer I can understand soon, I'll drop it and go back to thinking of it as one of life's mysteries.

Slowing the Brute's killing means slowing down a part of the team's killing power.

Nothing can stop you from purposefully playing to the detriment of your team and fellow players. So good luck to you.
