Will CoH ever overhaul their game engine?

Were the regeneration values the same when this power was a toggle?

I would much rather see Ice armor -
All I said was that I read somewhere that it was SUPPOSED to go to Tankers. Which is obviously correct...thanks to some searching from Coldmed.
I never said it was promised for Tanks.
However, none of this matters as I have came to the conclussion, with help from others, that my ideas were completely off base and only based on my sense and experience of Tanks and Brutes...which has been stated as being a false sense.
There is no more need for this thread. -
Quote:No it's not that. I just made the mistake of basing my suggestions off the fact that I (being a long time Tank) would choose a Brute over a Tank.Originally Posted by Talen_Lee
The kind of people who think that brutes will replace tanks are the kind of people who don't like tanks in the first place. This is roughly equivalent to people who think that the ability to buy Coke will completely obliterate Pepsi as a company.
I love Tanks...but after playing the same exact character as a Tank and as a Brute...I think that Brutes are "better".
I was clearly wrong...as I have been told many times...in the sense that there will be a lot of people who don't think like me...meaning there will still be a lot of people who will prefer the Tank over the Brute.
It's not that I don't like Tanks.
Also, I know...now...that my suggestions and ideas were wrong/not needed...so basically there is no more need for this thread. -

I datamined all your recent posts to this part of the forums and came to a surprising conclusion.
I never really suggest anything...but this whole GR thing has me deciding between Tanks and Brutes and I have been trying to get more information while also suggesting somethings.
It's just that my mains concept fits with a Tank or a Brute...which led to me overthinking what I want...which led to me suggesting ideas that were way off base...I'm sorry. -

Not for suggesting ideas.
For suggesting biased, unnecessary wants, based entirely on incompetence and incorrect information anyway.
Clearly my ideas have been proven to be unbalancing and game breaking...but they were, nonetheless, still ideas and suggestions.
I'll admit, I'm ignorant to the exact mechanic for game balance and I am basing these on my own expeirences. I post my suggestions in hopes that you will agree with me or at least show me why it wouldnt work.
If I lose credibility for suggesting ideas...so be it. -

Suuuuure they were.
As if, after this thread and your hundreds like it, you have any credibility left. -
Quote:I actually read somewhere that Tanks were supposed to get Fury to begin with.Originally Posted by Rangle M. Down
Uhm. My Fire/Fire and SD/SS tanks mow groups down like a scythe through wheat. The orange numbers may not be as big as a brute/scrapper, but they're still nice numbers.
At one point I'd sent a PM to Castle asking if it was feasible in the game to do a single target Fury like mechanic for tanks. Not even asking for it, just asking if it was technically possible as I was curious about it.
His response -
Ok...you guys/gals are clearly against my suggestion and seemingly against me personally.
...but you have to admit my line of thinking is not that far of a stretch...
You have Brutes that can "potentially" get up to Tanker levels of survivabilty...and then you have Tanks that cannot get close to Brute level damage.
That's where my thought process is coming from.
I understand now...after several threads (I apologize)...that I'm completely off base.
So I guess I'm just going to stick with my Brute. -
Quote:The actual reason I started this thread is because I'm trying to think of ideas that would make me play a Tank over a Brute.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Hold the phone. We found the real reason you have made this thread! You want your tank, with higher levels of mitigation than a brute, to be able to do as much damage as a brute! This game is balanced. A tank can take more punishment, but deals less, than a comparable brute. This is hard truth, and necessary for balance. Topic over.
Quit your ********. -
With GR coming...
How many of you will re-roll your Tank into a Brute?
How many of you will re-roll your Brute into a Tank?
How many of you will stick with your Tank blueside?
How many of you will stick with your Brute redside?
Why will you re-roll your Tank into a Brute?
Why will you re-roll your Brute into a Tank?
Why will you stick with your Tank blueside?
Why will you stick with your Brute redside? -
Quote:I'm not sure why your commenting on my builds as you have no idea what my builds look like.Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint
that is your opinion and not fact. i have a blast soloing on all of my tanks. if you learn to plan builds out for what you want to do rather then just picking powers, you will have more fun and notice that your ideas hold no merit.
Have you soloed that same type of Tank as a Brute? -
Quote:It's not hard...it's boring and monotonous.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Your suggestion is based on the false information that it is hard to solo a tank.
I'll admit...this is based on my experience and my opinion.
As I stated before...your either fighting low level enemies that make your damage look nice but you will never worry about dying...or your fighting such high level enemies so that you will have to worry about dying but then your damage is so "low". -
Quote:"suggest you learn how to play and build your toons"Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint
ok, just like everyone of your other posts, i will gladly /unsinged this. i suggest you learn how to play and build your toons. if you want an offensive juggernaut, go with fire/ss or shield/ss or fire/elec or shield/elec or willpower/ss or willpower/elec... im sure you get the point.
What does me learning to play and build my toons have anything to do with my suggestion?
My experience is what made me think of this suggestion.
Tanks are fun as hell while teaming...but when I solo it is too boring. -
Quote:I was actually thinking 40mph would be good enough myself. I usually build for 49mph or higher...but I'm trying to break the habbit of building for run speed so that my builds are more efficient.Originally Posted by Werner
I suppose if I WERE to have a target speed, I'd say that anything under 40mph is just too slow. But my movement speed gets zero slotting priority. It's just something I pick up as a side effect while working on other things.
-
I know that people are going to be against me on this...and if data mining comes out to prove me wrong then thats great but...
Myself, being a long time Tanker...my main and my first 50...I will be re-rolling my main into a Brute when GR comes out.
I truly believe that the Tanker numbers will drop once GR comes out...but I also know that there will still be some Tankers around...but you have to be kidding yourself if you think that Tanker numbers will be as high as they are now.
I'm just trying to think of ideas that would keep me from re-rolling into a Brute. -
Quote:My main problem with Tankers solo is that there seems to be no middle ground.Originally Posted by Oneirohero
When it comes to ATs, they're designed for a specific job, other people have managed to break away from these roles but in the end, the AT they are decides their most potent stratagy.
Tankers are meant to be the 'draw all the enemies because you can take all the damage'. They have relatively lower melee damage than say a Scrapper but not all that much. Tanks are able to solo well even if it takes a while longer to take down mobs.
I may just be one person, but I feel Tanks are already quite solo-friendly if you slot their attacks with accuracy to get the most damage out of their attacks as possible.
Your either soloing low level stuff...which makes your damage seem nice but your basically never worrying about staying alive...but if you up your difficulty to the point where you have to actually kill things to stay alive your damage is just way too slow. -
Quote:Alright, nice...I was just wondering since SS is smashing, if there were any AVs that SS just couldn't take down due to their resistance.Originally Posted by Clouded
All primaries have the ability to solo AVs (last I checked). The trick is getting enough survivability, endurance and recharge to complete the task.
-
Which AVs would Super Strength not be able to take down? If any.
-
Ok...hear me out...
It effort to make Tanks more "solo friendly"...I have proposed many damage boost ideas.
However, I have came to the conclusion that they don't really "need" more damage output.
I propose that they give Tanks "Fury"...just not as potent as Brute Fury.
In order to keep balance...make 100% "Fury" equal a 50% damage bonus. (I have not ran any number's so I'm not sure if that's too much of an bonus or not)
The Fury mechanic makes soloing much more fun, in my opinion.
You could keep the Gauntlet effects on top of Fury.
Would 100% Fury equalling a 50% damage bonus for Tankers be too unbalanced?
Edit: Even if it is a little bonus...people will still try and keep it full.
This will help greatly when teaming, as the Tank will always try to generate as much aggro as possible and soloing a Tank would actually be fun. -
How much run speed do you shoot for when building a scrapper?
-
I try and get a kismet +acc early on for my character which is great for the leveling.
How much is this needed after you IO your build?
Does anyone slot the kismet and take Focused Accuracy?
Will I be good with just FA post level 40? -
What is the recharge on Sands of Mu?
I read on paragonwiki.com that recharge buffs affect this power...is this true? -
When, if ever, would this not be enough accuracy in an attack?
