Why can't I say SF as a general term for SF/TF, but you haughty, stuck-up hero players get to say TF for both. NO! It is the Lady Grey STRIKE FORCE and Imperious Strike Force! :P. And they may never fix it. Shouldn't MA critters be fixed in a week or two? according to what they said right before i16 was released. No news on that either.

No, it is that very few people understand that when I mention SFs, people ask if that includes TFs, but that does not happen the opposite way. I'm sick that everything has to be used in wimpy Blue-side terminology.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Being called "wimpy" by one of Recluse's errand boys is kinda funny

SF/TF's aren't broken IMO, with the exception of the MM temp on the BSF. I haven't done the BSF in a while but if the MM used the temp just before the Reichsman gets to 1/2 health he doesn't go "phased".

The only thing I can see *** "broken" is the fact that CoH has 19 TF's were as CoV only has 10 SF's (both numbers include the 2 co-op). Not to mention the fact that CoH has twice as many trials 6 compared to CoV's 3.

SF/TF's are not supposed to "easy". If you put a proper team together instead of just say yes to everyone no SF/TF should be that difficult... Planning ahead and knowing what you need is more important that starting hastily.

So, what in your opinion is so "Broken" about SF's?

I PL myself! YAY

There ain't enough of them. That's plenty broken to me.

We cant see what difference so many pvpers leaving had on subscription rates because the next quarter they stopped releasing them.

It might have something to do with the fact that more people play heroes than villains. That, and the fact that the game is referred to as 'City of Heroes'.

You have a rather curious definition of "broken".

This and the gargantuan Merit disparity between Blue and Redside.

To get 66 Merits Redside I need to do an ITF (26) 3 Respecs (about 50-60ish) while I can knock off a Posi in a shorter amount of time (well, nominallly...if you do a 20 minute ITF and three 15 minute Respecs then Red wins).

The fact I can get a LOTG 7.5 after a few Phalanx TF runs...yeah.
Mind you, I can work the Market redside well but more tedious stuff please if it means higher rewards.

Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!

They were so bad that they changed company policy to hide them for all of their games? When their biggest games make this one at its peak look like nothing? I doubt that very much. If any game's performance caused them to do that, it probably rhymed with Schmabula Schmasa.

Most supergroups couldn't get over the prestige cost of their bases either. It was only practical for the really huge super-groups with maxed numbers of members active to base-raid since they were the only ones who could really afford having their SG base destroyed... and they were far and few between.


Not to point you out but i see this thought often when base raids are brought up.
I was an avid base raider when they were still active and all items in your base that were destroyed were only destroyed during the raid, as soon as the raid is over everything was back to normal. You dont have to spend prestige to fix things because everything reset after the match ended.

I dont know. My point was: we don't know what effect alot of the PvPers leaving had on subscription rates and to say them leaving had no effect is pure speculation from je_saist.

Blueside = Dumb! Oh look, I got a mission I am in P.I., what they want me to go to F'ng Perez Park? Le Sigh...ok thats done, oh crap now I gotta go back to P.I. talk to the contact. Ok Mr. Contact, now what? Boomtown? Boomtown?!?! This goes on and on and on...

Redside: Equals sexytime all the time!

Not to mention, I like Redside Classes more then Blue(though I still enjoy Controllers quite a bit). Yes, These days if you have everything, you can Pocket D Port, Oro Port, Base Port, Mission Port, to said places. Still damn annoying Im more of a marathon runner then actual game player on Blueside. I do not like Radio Missions, I was never a fan of Paper missions, I find them handy "IF" I run out of a contact, but for most part I enjoy the story arcs.

I like the dark, grim, & apocalyptic look of Redside in some of the zones, while other zones are very industrial looking, with darker side to em, I enjoy that.

What Blueside mostly players dont seem to understand is, why folks like me exist, to them it baffles there mind, how could anyone prefer Redside over blueside, ZOMG! Since they do not like it, that must mean no one else must like it.

You're not the only one. I tend to like everything redside more than blue. I like 5 out of 5 ATs redside, but only 2 out of 5 blue (a person can only have so many blasters and scrappers.)
