Sounds too Trinity to me. Also not really how people in COH play.

I think there is actually a difference between scrapping and dps Scrapping is Melee DPS done by a sturdy fighter. Scrappers don't generally need support. They may or may not be able to tank for a team, but they don't need support for their own aggro.

I don't even wait for the Tank to go first.

Not everyone wants a "super" character though. Unfortunately the P2W is better for those than the actual pool powers. I still want a motorcycle.

Due to fly's low cap a jetpack can be pretty much the same speed

Ranking is right but I dont think there are really 4 roles. I think there are only 2 roles Tanking and Scrapping And all melee ATs do some amount of each. Even Stalkers can break Alphas pretty reliably either with support or a strong enough build. And Tankers can Scrap, especially after the damage bump.

I don't use them

Sure. Why not?

/jranger on all attempts to make this game easier

While the gore didn't bother me. I can respect it would bother people. It was gratuitous in that scene. Could have easily been toned down.

I wouldn't put a gory opening scene in the same category as showing something socially progressive. Just that that was probably more controversial considering the time period. Showing gore on "cable" isn't really controversal at all.

You can have an insane number of characters on each server. That probably doesn't help.

Okay I watched Episode 5 tonight. I really liked it, but yeah the into was very gory. I do find it interesting that after a while Trek was seen as a sort of family show. Combination of TNG and Time marches on I guess. For the 60's Trek was considered fairly racy. Crew members died on a regular basis. The costume designer pushed the limits on how much they could show on TV. And it had the first televised Interracial kiss.

"Merits are valuable. Check the Homecoming Forums\The Market for some ideas" "You might be able to turn your Merits into valuable influence in the Market. Ask around on the Help Channel" Etc.

Well like I said.. Some people like the Star Wars Prequels ..

As a little kid of course no Mormonism elements even dawned on me. Tbh I wouldn't even know now except I read about that aspect on TVTROPES. I am not actually familiar with Mormonism at all.

No I was just curious if affinity for season 3+ was higher amongst people who first watched the reboot. And possibly whether my loathing of 3+ may be related partially to nostalgic factors of first watching the 70s version. Though tbh how people can like the whole hidden cylons who didn't know they were cylons and the other cylons didn't even know they were cylons ... boggles my mind Then add that Earth isn't Earth but an earlier practically prehistoric but also spacefaring cylon planet of more advanced cylons that nuked themselves .. Its just .. stupid. ==== Compared to the fairly compelling Narrative of an AI rebellion and the Rag Tag Fugitive fleet.

Just add some basic market hints to the load screens.

Since Taunt duration figures in, you could slot for that to counteract the tankers higher normal effects.

Thanks. There were some posts just recently though by some wondering if this had taken place. Perhaps the patch is in place but less so certain power descriptions or something, I'm not sure. But with everything normalized (hopefully already is by what you posted) .. then the situations of "Invul tankers can steal aggro from all other Tankers", etc should no longer be the case. But it definitely was before.

And those are fairly cheap now.

There was some debate earlier as to whether that happened exactly, I thought? Also as to what normalized means. For example Invul for Tankers had a 17 sec duration (ish) while a number had 13.6 sec. Before even getting to the really low ones like WP (if not normalized yet) That and since we are in the Anecdotal realm of Anecdotal Underleveled Tankers stealing aggro from a Brute somewhen .. maybe this event took place before any recent normalization?

Taunt doesn't work well if you don't also do some damage. Tankers also get AOE taunts in every attack. And not all taunt auras are created equal. Invincibility for /invuls is far superior to RTTC for WP for example. But this can be mitigated easily enough. If you are a Brute and some underleveled Tanker is on your team that keeps dying, make sure you go first and absorb all alphas. This shouldn't come up often, as Tankers are tougher than Brutes after all.

Yeah that part was for the lulz

You can have 6 purple sets, 5 lotg and the rest of a complete build for less than a billion now. So .. problem solved /thread
