You think, "oh gosh the zombies are coming! I know, I'll be safe up on the War Wall!"

AND THEY CRAWL THROUGH THE WALL'S LEDGE.

Seriously, best event ever.

Sidekick, and then SOLO some. It's not that hard. Make your OWN teams. Dont' just stand there broadcasting. Find the right level area, open your "find team" tab and start sending tells politely. there are teams.

Looks like a good plan of keeping you playing the game, to me. besides, WHY do you "need" to rocket through the levels?

Why do you need to go faster on the side of the game where the stories are all uniformly better and more fun to go through?

Then broadcast is your least useful tool like someone else said. If you're just here to piss and moan about it that's nice, but... you ask in your thread title if the game got slower. No, it didn't.

We've had several changes to Xp curve, reduced debt, the addition of the AE, AND patrol xp. All those things make leveling easier. But again: if you're trying to play the game, don't try and speed through it. At least enjoy the first time around if you're not playing villain side much. I've finally started enjoying my redside ride, and note my join date. Villains stuff is way better written, and they would like to keep you playing / paying as long as possible. Thus... Why speed?

Try flying while there's a Zombie Apoc on. They do that. It's spooky.

Of course, then they *fall*, but...

lol archery.

... I have no idea where you're seeing this happening, because it certainly isn't in THIS game.

There have been plenty of whiners here about exactly that. The fact that they're outnumbered often 10-15 to one by people who can list off many things they're not doing or doing wrong, means that no one really takes them seriously already.

Again: THIS game?!

If you redefine "tedious" as "lots of fun dinging every couple minutes" sure. ... If you didn't use sprint while fighting, you wouldn't run out of endurance. Problem solved. next!

I do. You must not be playing something you *enjoy*.

But to a new player they neither know nor care whether their choices are "wrong". Plus, doesn't matter: you screwed up at level 6! oh noes! ... START OVER. DING, done! back to 6 in less than an hour. As for stamina: don't need it. Not everyone "needs" it. If you do, you probably will want to ask around for help on your builds.

I'm a 60 month vet, and I start the game at level 1 just like someone who's picked it up off a shelf. Why is it meaningless?

** Yes, I have several vet reward powers that I love to use at early levels - and whenever a newcomer sees me using them, they ask how I got it, and then they're hyped because *they can eventually get one too*.

Again: if you NEED stamina, you're not playing well.

... Champions Online hasn't even exited beta yet and has a long way to go before people that are IN it think it's worth having live. How about let them kill their own game and play experience, they'll find out about this game soon enough. Or, of course, *come back to it* like most of them doubtless will.

Again: let the other game sink or float on its own merits.

Now THIS I agree with. Enough with the trainings.

The raw numbers are right there in front of you when you place enhancements, or hadn't you noticed that? been there a while in fact. Plus, it IS explained in the game. You just have to actually think to LOOK for that and there it is.

For YOU.

My builds kick *** right off the character generator. I don't know what you're doing to gimp yourself in those first bunch of levels, but I use them to learn how I'm going to slot and make future improvements with the next bunch of powers I get. The powers are all listed right there in your power tab, you know. You can always *look at those* before assigning your next slot or power...

Their loss, but I strongly suspect that you had a hand in complaining about those early levels to them and may have tainted their own experiences... Everything you've said so far, tells me you hate playing this game until you've got an "I Win" button. It's got nothing to do with teaming and nothing to do with CO, it's all about you don't seem to know how to slot, use your endurance enhancements wisely, and try rushing up to the middle of the game before you're really happy with what you've made.

They already ARE tremendously easy. With the leveling curve in the mid and later levels now, with reduced debt, with PATROL XP especially... You can breathe hard on the keyboard and level. Whatever it is you're doing, I don't think you've got it down very well. You might consider heading up into the archetype sections and asking for some build assistance.

Awww, I think they're just trying to get to the bus on time! If there ever ARE busses.

From the OP's first statement:

They're using a game that hasn't yet even come out of beta, for comparison to something that we already have plenty of and better forms.

I mean of games that ACTUALLY SHIPPED... That was just... a money sink. A gullibility tax.

This. It's been said several times as well, on my video thread as well as other places: they don't want pee-ice or blood-ice. It's just something that would be distasteful in so many ways, they decided against allowing it.

Perhaps at some later time we'll get a variety of other options for each: crystals or ice or blobs of snow, etc.

No, they never added snow in the air. For the duration of the winter event the first year it was run (notice that it wasn't run this way again) they replaced the zone bg's basically, they didn't ADD anything. And yes, it would lag.

There was a time when the stores images were overwritten by the El Super Mexicano restaurants. The interiors were the same, but they didn't have the sign, it was the food place sign instead. Thus, gags about buying certain enhancements at a fast food place... badump bump?
