Are we really down to like ten active forum celebs, pretty small list indeed.
Small pond = Big fish, and all that I guess. Heck when
gets on the first draft that's a darn small talent pool.
Check it out, been there for years:

This has been mind boggoling me for awhile now and im not sure if i should be happy or sad on GR. I know the details on it are skechy but i really hope you can atleast help with this.
On going rouge villians and heroes are able to swap sides correct?Can you swap a vill to heroes at lvl 1? But what if all the villians swap to heroes? Due to the fact heroes has more players and would be easier to lvl there. That would leave vills with even less players than it already has. Or can you only swap when you hit lvl 50 then after you swap your lvl drops back down to lvl 1?
Like you hit lvl 50 then you decide to go hero and you do the arc for it and LR is displeased with your betrayal and drains your powers and you start from lvl 1 but on hero side.
But my point really is what lvl can you swap sides at? Can you swap at lvl 1? or do you need to be higher? -

Rep doesn't tell you anything. I have seen posters (I'll not name names) who have bar after bar of green rep who rarely post anything except insults and who repeatedly troll threads. Their rep isn't indicative of ANYTHING.
Rep on these forums is used to send insults and beratement, and little else. It is not productive in any way, and is in fact a destructive, judgemental system that promotes little more than animosity.
The notion that you could somehow judge someone's "value" based on their forum activity is frankly insulting.
I didn't turn off my rep because I'm somehow ashamed of it. In fact, I'm the sort that might even take some pride in it, as it proves that I don't often bend to the will of the popular majority, and stand by my convictions.
I turned it off to avoid having to put up with the endless crap I get from anonymous rep trolls. Unfortunate that it didn't work that way. I leave it off because it's worthless.
I stand by my assertion. It should be dispensed with.
(And I don't give a damn that there have been other threads on this, I'll post what I like, when I like. Maybe if they see enough complaining threads, they'll get rid of a stupid system.)
Oh, and Ultimus, your avatar is a little fuzzy, but it looks like the paper doll from Elder Scrolls: Arena...
Vae Victus, suffering to the conquered, ironic now I was the one suffering...

1: I see trends. The rep meter tends to agree with the trends I see. Therefore, I see no reason for its removal.
2: On my way to work I realized that I had confused you with Ultimus. My apologies for that. It doesn't change the fact that threads calling for the removal of the rep system existed prior to the creation of this thread.
3: You can already create Iron Man as a ff/eb defender or eb/em blaster.
4: If you could NOT care less what forum trolls think of you, you wouldn't have started this thread. -- Kudos if anyone knows who it actually is
I've not posted in a while been playing Champions Online and waiting for Going Rogue beta to start, I expect to be in the first wave since I am at nearly 66 months

Fury provides a 2% increase per point up to 200% damage at full fury. Interesting enough, it is impossible to go past 90 fury in my testing even with stacking bosses or arch villains. This means we only cap at 180% damage.
Now Castle is probably going to say "Well Brutes are fairly balanced, maybe even overpowered, there is no need to fix this" -- It still is something that has always bugged me. If this is Castle's response, why not just make the cap of fury 90 but the bar appears full. (In other words, at 100 fury you get 180% damage increase but it still increases at the same ratio as before but can be capped... so its only changing visually)
They could also add something like hitting an enemy at full fury adds the words "SMASH" or something of that nature

Same with Lightning Rod, I was the first to find this out back in 2007 right when Issue 7 was released. (Also effects burn)

Sammy, it'll be awesome. Period. I finally managed to see all the CoX Vidoes you've made over the years on the youtube page.
Seriously, NCsoft should be paying you freelance for such a damn good job. 'Incarnate' had my spine tingling ^^ Beyond awesome. -

Again, if people want to see D_R release more materials, you need to cough up money to help cover the costs.

Even in game I barely hear any chatter about Going Rogue. Personally, I am so excited about it and the possibility of side switching. I really want to move my villains to heroes because I prefer the Hero side but I also prefer the villain archetypes. (I just feel they are more fun) We already "know" a few things about Going Rogue:
1) Beta will probably start around Oct-Nov
2) Interesting enough, I think it could release this year. City of Villains entered beta either in late August or early September. -- It was then released on Oct 31st...
2A) Going Rogue could see a December release. If GR went into beta in Oct or Nov it would follow the same time frame of the COV beta and be released just in time for Christmas. (Which a business would try to shoot for)
3) We know Going Rogue is adding at least two new powersets: Demon Summoning, Dual Pistols. I believe ALL the ATs may see a new powerset. Remember that old powerset poll from a while back? (When we got WP and Dual Blades), Perhaps we may see some of those.
4) I also hope we see COMPLETE proliferation. Since there are no new ATs being added more focus could be on porting all the sets to each side. Super Strength Scrappers, Regen Brutes, etc.
5) Alternate Animations -- I really think Issue 16 is the tip of the iceberg. I believe Going Rogue is going to give us a LOT more customization and copy Champion Online. In Champion Online you can take a power and choose the animation, IE a blast can come from the chest, hand, fist, head, etc. We've already seen this with MA and Super Strength, I think we'll see even more so in Going Rogue.
6) New Missions -- I think Praetorian Earth is going to revamp missions. We're going to see a balance of the door missions we currently have but also see outdoor missions similar to Champion Online. I also believe Praetorian Earth will be co-op due to this factor. I really believe the outdoor missions and certain door missions you perform set your alignment. (good or bad) -- An example could be: There is an attack in part of the city, do you rescue the citizens or do you go and rob the bank during the chaos?
7) Post level 50 progression -- I think they are going to take the idea from World of Warcraft (And Everquest did this before this) and do post level 50 progression without a level system. The way Everquest did it was a system called Alternate Advance. Basically, at max level you could set your experience gain to go toward earning points. These points could be spent to increase various aspects of a character such as strength, agi, crit chance, etc. As you got more points you could buy abilities like Flurry (A passive ability that sometimes gave you an extra attack when you swing), an AOE taunt (with a 10 min cooldown), etc.
World of Warcraft is doing a similar system in their expansion called the Titan's path. From what it sounds like, via questing you can unlock extra abilities for your character and passive bonuses. There are several paths to take and a character can respec them.
8) End game content -- I also think we will see varied end game content. More difficult material geared toward the maxed out players. -
I just wish a redname would post and acknowledge it..

Sadly no, I've stopped playing until this is fixed. Its very sad

He brought us this game, he poured a lot of himself into it, and I've no doubt some of the good things we have are his doing. The problem I had was with his game theory and NIMGYD attitude, he was fixated on the idea that players secretly want to lose. I still remember (though not verbatim) the story about him losing a dozen or so times to a chu-boss in a handheld game and rush he had when he finally beat it and how he wanted to make encounters in CoH exactly like that.

Quote:When did he do this?
'I'm afraid he doesn't have a very good reputation among CoH players because SINCE leaving the NCSoft dev team, he's done things like recruit for his new game on the CoH message board. -
Quote:Not to mention thats why Devouring Earth own when they drop a Quartz and proceed to kill people even resist based sets. It basically doubles a minion damage.Originally Posted by _Deth_
*shrug* fair enough, i'm wrong.
Either way, it is still a mechanic designed for defense sets.
and to whoever commented on me "spouting facts," learn to read. I didn't spout facts. I specifically used the statements, "as I understand it", and "I may be wrong," as I was not entirely sure that was how it works. Turns out I was wrong, fine, I can admit that. I learned something. Maybe a handful of people know every single mechanic in the game intimately, I freely admit that I am not one of them. and I doubt you are either. If you have an issue, man up and state it, maybe even spread a little knowledge, don't just anonymously drop some snide remark on my profile. -

I think they need to give full Going Rogue details because Blizzard just announced their third expansion with full details...
-
Where did he say that?

I am still hoping for a red name response or an ETA on this fix. It is so bad now.

I take mine at level 6...

As a min/maxer myself I am very curious about the potential of a Brute with /Regeneration. Any other number crunchers out there interested in seeing this set? Even with the would be holes. By then too there may be a few new IO sets with some nice bonuses.
