    It was positive. I was just tossing out some odd comments that really didn't make much sense...unless the person who wrote it was taken into account. And in some cases, even then it didn't make much sense.

    Kind of hard to prove either way since the old forums are ded, and most of those posts were zapped in the various house cleanings in that time anyhow.
    Not that hard to find at all, really. Just look at the patch notes on Paragon Wiki.

    here's a list of them.

    Of course, taken in context with the thread that is was refering to, I have a pretty good idea what they're about. And I even have a good idea who the unsigned one was from.

    Having a fully Hami'd out Ice/Storm with nearly 100% AoEs meant that it was either dumping fifty 50++ - 52+ Hamis in the trash bin or extracting them out 10 at a time during each respec, hence 5 respecs.
    Not all AoE, just three; Holds, Disorient, and Sleep. You know, the ones that would make this City of Statues. And Sleeps still last a long time. Relatively speaking.
  7. I only have one thing to say about...
    Quote:
    I don't agree with letting people be judge, jury and executioner, because I don't trust people in general to make the right call. In fact, I agree with having law enforcement taken OUT of the hands of ordinary people.
    Those people that are judges, police-persons, court officials and every other law enforcement type, are ordinary people. They have their own ideas of what justice is. Granted, some of them attempt to abide by a standard of ethics when it comes to applying justice, but I've seen others too fearful of criticism (not reprisals, but criticism) to actually deal out justice where it should be placed.

    So, in the cyclist incident, my action would have been to not move at all, except to brace myself for a collision. If I get hurt in the process, so be it.

    -rep : short bus <rolls eyes> ( It was a legitimate comment on my part.)
    -rep : .. (Umm...ok?)
    -rep : . (again?)
    +rep : Alladin reference ftw! ( I thought it good myself. )
    +rep : there no extened maintenance there trying to catch the hacker and we pay for it so unless people don't let GM'S know of wrong doing's in the game it we ruin it and there we not be a COH IT WELL BE GONE TO THE AMERICANS!!!!!!!

    Oh, and +/- rep : (darned blank comments )

    Would you( Not you specifically, Eisregen) be happier with your moral standing if you stepped out of the way of the cyclist and let her run into someone else causing them to be injured or even killed? When you could have just given the cyclist a bruise, hurt their ego a little and saved someone else the pain and suffering. Something to think about. Sometimes, there are only choices between greater and lesser evils.


    Go -rep!

Apparently the old Moment of Glory dropped your health by a huge amount, and made you immune to any sort of heal or hitpoint buff. It also pushed damage resistances for almost everything to insane levels. So you would now have 100 hitpoints, but anything that attacked you would be doing just fractions of a point of damage. *Unless* it was Psi, the only thing Moment of Glory didn't boost resistance for.

    So against psychic critters, the battle apparently went something like this:

    *You have activated Moment of Glory!*
    "I am INVINCIBLE!"
    *Psychic Clown uses Ice Cream Headache!*
    "Ow."
    *You have died!*
    That about sums it up.

    My Warshade did a similar thing.

    Went Dwarf and jumped in with Mire and immediately faceplanted.
    Looked at the Dwarf form resists and noticed the lack of Psi resist.

    Blind invite lol

    I have a character that has "If you invite me, I will get you debt" as his search comment. I was sent a tell once "That sounds like a challenge". He was polite enough to not send an invite.

    As you can tell from that search comment, I don't really like to team up all that much with people that I don't know. Yes, I know. My loss.

    I always order the same thing when I get a pizza. That way I don't have to agonize over the different choices.

    I would, except, at the age of 38, I'm not old enough to be the oldest player playing this game.

    Odd, on one screen (that's using the CoV skin) I have "Welcome, Twisted Toon." On another (using the CoH skin) I get, "Welcome, Paladin."

    I never knew Twisted Toon was a Paladin.

    I wonder if it has something to do with the skin...

    Most like its just a Nemesis plot.
  17. Did we ever decide if PK was going to turn his Rep on or off?

    Is the time capsule the only definitive future date we have in the lore? Yes, yes, I know we have the Coming of the Great White Hankerchief...uh..hmm...*checks notes*...um, the Coming Storm, but its got no specific date.
    Lovely Douglas Adams reference. +rep for you.

    Ok, maybe not that old...

    I lived through 83% of the 70s. But, my dad liked to watch a lot of the older stuff, and I liked to watch stuff with my dad. So, I watched alot of the older stuff.

    And, my first computer was a TI99 4a. Also saved to a cassette.

    Immob is a hard control. and, with proper tactical planning, you can remove an opponent from the battle for as long at the Immob lasts. Much like a hold, stun or sleep.

    My Fire/Energy Blaster takes on +1 and +2 bosses easily without the need of Breakfrees. She also melts large groups of +1 minions before they can get off more than one shot.
  22. How about this one?

    The mission? Defeat Officer Nader and Guards in IP.

    Is Officer Nader's secret hide-out in the plant?

    That's not what was said.

    What was said was that all ATs solo fine. Different players add or subtract from the solo-ability of any AT.

    Reading comprehension please.

    Quote:
    They'd probably say that 'everything was fine' before the cost reduction went into place for powers.

    Dang people for wanting to improve this game!
    Actually, everything was fine before then. I had no problems with any of my characters Endurance. Most of which did not have Stamina. Which, I might add, is not a mandatory power.

    Oh, and I ran a 0/x8 mission on my Human form Peacebringer this morning. Didn't use a single Breakfree. Granted, it was a level 7 mission against Skulls, but still. I only needed to rez maybe 3 times in the entire kill all mission. managed to get about half the Skull boss badge and a quarter of the Kill Skulz badge from that single mission.

    You are correct, not all of them do. Half of them do, however.

    Quote:
    Mezzes are pretty cheap when you get down to it. The developers already balanced around the fact that players can't lock down whole swaths of NPCs by reducing the duration so that they can't self-stack AOE mezzes.
    Incorrect. They reduced the duration and increased the recharge of AoE Holds. Sleeps and Immobs can still be stacked. My Earth/Psy Dominator does this all the time.

    Or my rad can wait until you have personally hit every mob before debuffing.
    nice attitude, no wonder I won't team with you. If my Emp/Electric Defender can stand toe-to-toe with a couple of LTs, then you can too.
