Using it as an example of the thousands of posts I've seen from the community on the Homecoming forums over the years. I'm sorry if my putting a generalized statement in quotes scares you. In the future I'll try to be more clear that I was actually paraphrasing.

And this is exactly why I don't beta test or provide feedback in the feedback threads anymore. Because the attitude of the community (and of the devs apparently as well) is "We don't care. Dev time is important and yours isn't because you're not a dev, you're just peasant."

Meh. Experiments are experiments. At least heavy handed changes get reverted when the people in the closed beta complain. Not so with us forum peasants.

I just hope that they actually take our feedback into consideration.

You know it's funny because I've been saying for years now that I don't want the devs to touch the armor sets because we wouldn't like the results, they'd probably add a yellow ring or wacky combo system to them, and people just respond with the laughing emoji and/or tell me that I'm wrong or crazy or whatever. And then * GASP * it turns out that I was right all along. Look, I'm not Nostradamus or anything. I can't see the future. It's just simple pattern recognition. This is why I'm against most changes that get suggested, not because I'm the horrible evil mean not-see troll that a lot of you claim I am, but because I know that the devs will just make it worse by shoe-horning a stupid combo system into it. Most of you would notice the same things I have if just you got down off of your high-horse for 1 full minute. But, can't do that, no! The Dev Defense League must be ready to charge at a moments notice.

The Flight Pool is probably the only travel power pool that I do not want to see the developers touch at all. Ever. Look at the other pools first. Look at making their attacks worth taking. Please leave the Flight Pool alone. You all just made a weird nonsensicle change to all of the travel pools awhile back, it's fine now. Please don't add another stupid yellow ring combo system to the Flight Pool.

Yes.

Because Gravitus is the MAIN CHARACTER! The main character doesn't have to be courteous to others, consider their feelings at all, or do anything they/them doesn't want to. And she should never suffer any consequences for her actions! That's why the team leader's actions where morally wrong, because you don't kick the main character off of the team! What was he thinking? Never mind that Null the Gull won't talk to you during a TF. Never mind that most players don't even know about Null the Gull. It's our job to make certain that we've exercised that option with Null the Gull because we might be on a TF with him one day and he is the Main Character!

I did and, as I said, it does not apply to matters of opinion or personal preference. For example; I hate Broccoli. I don't care if I'm the only person out of the 8 billion people on planet Earth who doesn't like Broccoli, I'll never like Broccoli and nothing anyone says will change that. That's a matter of personal preference. However, and I'm honestly the perfect person on this forum to use this example, if I say something and everyone in the room gets mad and my response is "What? I wasn't being a jerk, I just answered her question truthfully." If everyone else in the room says that I was being a jerk then I accept that I was being a jerk, even if it was unintended. Doesn't mean that I'll actually act differently but, if I refuse to act differently, then I have to accept the consequences of my actions. .

Agreed. Not really. Sure Ad Populum is a fallacy when you're talking about facts, like whether the Earth is flat or not, but when you're asking about social situations, which is what this is, then the opinion of the super majority is usually the correct one. I understand that you're just venting about a situation that seemed aggravating and perhaps even unfair to you but, like it or not, the team leader is the absolute tyrant of a team. The original developers built the kick button for a reason and the current developers have left the kick button in for a reason. Bottom line: you were aggravating and inconveniencing the other players on the team and the leader took action that was appropriate at the time to solve the problem. In the future I recommend informing people before the TF starts that you use Group Fly. That would be the civil, and grown up, thing to do.

Very nice. I like it! You see, contrary to what's been claimed, people on this forum don't automatically disagree with every suggestion that's made. We just don't agree with the ones that we don't like.

As in scrub all actual in game references to it? Yeah, probably. However, head canon is a wonderful thing. What would you replace it with if you had the ability to do so?

I knew it! Luminara is actually KingCedd.

But Flea, my last name is Webster! Doesn't that mean that I'm allowed to make up new words?!? In all seriousness, making up new words, and changing the centuries old meanings of already established words, has been all the rage the last 20 or so years. I don't understand why the participation trophy generations think that they can just make up new words and then get upset when the rest of the world doesn't automagically understand and use those words. Oh and @Wingslord24, don't you think you've spend enough time and effort hijacking Solok's thread? If you really want to make your own powerset suggestion then why do you start your own thread and make your own suggestion?

Given the forum feedback I've read about Regen over the years I suspect a lot of folks would be happier if Instant Healing were a toggle again. However, I don't think that the devs really want to just switch it without changing the amount of regen it grants because it would be too powerful. I didn't know that HoTs were a thing in CoH. Isn't that just basically just want +Regen is? Also, making it a HoT would mean the name wouldn't really be descriptive of what the power actually does. By having it just instantly heal 25% of each hit that was taken it lives up to its name without being affected by regen debuffs. My understanding is that lack of regen debuff resist is one of the many problems with Regen.

I wonder if the devs could change it into a toggle that instantly heals 25% of each hit taken. So it lives up to its name and also acts as a type of regen that isn't affected by regen debuffs.

As a tank main I hate the fact that I cannot block a doorway and force the enemies to deal with me before they can get to anyone else. It's a viable strategy and in most MMOs, and now in the Labyrinth, it doesn't work. I hate it when video games punish me for making good tactical decisions. Don't get me started.

A modification that I'd like to suggest is that, instead of a new powerset, the devs should add a couple of new combat auras. For those that don't know there are auras, in the custom designer, that will allow some auras to only turn on if the character is in combat stance. Also, "only from the eyes" and "only from the hands" are options as well. So, if the devs made several Arcane Combat Auras, like a wand in the hand that has sparkles or magic coming out of it, or runes that float near the hands or in front of the character, or other options I'm sure you all can think of, this will allow any AT and powerset to be "Arcane." Would you be ok with something like this @Wingslord24 or @Solok ?

And honestly, given their record of adding a gimmick or weird combo to every set they've touched, do we really want them to start working on the armor sets? I don't know about you but I'm really not interested in playing wack-a-mole with the yellow ring just get Regen or EA to provide reasonable protection.

And of course the mods can see the IP address that the post was made from. But you already knew that, don't you, Arcane?

I think the solution would be to change Power Surge (Electric Armor's tier 9) to something like Willpower's Strength of Will. A click defense with no crash that's immune to recharge buffs. Only instead of the +Res of SoW, I'd give Power Surge a lot of +Defense (All) and +DDR. The defense would work with the resistance from the rest of the set to really make it nearly unkillable while it was up. This would make Power Surge worth taking (it really isn't right now) and also give Elec high defense when it's needed.

Farewell Mr. Jones. May the Force be with you, always.

Stone Armor is the absolute toughest of all of the defensive sets. My argument is that the numbers are the highest. Fire melee is the highest damage output, but you're right, no control. If you want to control go with War Mace or Ice Melee. Energy Melee has a lot of stuns, if you're ok with it having no real AoE.

A lot of people attacked him when that video came out. Time has shown that he was right and that everyone who attacked him was wrong. So yeah, there's a little bit of "Ha, ha. I was right!" in that video. People's natural tendency to want to do that is exacerbated by internet peoples' inability to ever admit that they were wrong. Sorry. I'm not sure what you thought a 1 year anniversary video about himself would be about.
