If you're referring to the person who made the video I posted, it's because reviewing shows and movies is his job, he gets money for every video he posts. If you're referring to me, I don't watch it. One episode was enough for me. And according to some of the posts in this thread, some people do like this show. And that's ok. Unlike some people I don't call people -ists and -phobes just because they don't like a movie or TV show that I like.

The poorly written story just keeps getting worse.

Not sure how I missed your post. My bad. 🥺

Also, slot 3 End Mod SO/IOs in Stamina and Quick Recovery. And slot 1 Performance Shifter proc into Stamina and Quick Recovery. After that you will have endurance issues pretty much never.

As Greycat points out there are plenty of powers and effects that can cause issues but, for some reason, knockback is the only effect that evokes such blind anger on the forum. That being the case it should occur to people that the emotional backlash to KB's mere existence on their team may not be entirely rational. Sadly that doesn't seem to be the case. Bottom line: if people in game are giving you grief about KB your best bet is either to kick them, or yourself, from the team. I wouldn't even bother trying to discuss it with them. The anti-KB crowd has proven immune to rational discussion.

Wait, so you're saying that the moderators on this forum are biased? Wow. That explains so much. Thanks for the heads up! 😃

Asking him to admit that he's wrong?!? Careful now, you might get labeled per his signature and end up ignored. Besides, you know that people aren't allowed to admit they're wrong on the internet. What were you thinking? 😄

"Thanks for the advice. I can't add a bunch of IOs right now, since I'm in the middle of a mission, but I'll do that in the future."

WHAT! No ostrich?!?

Cliques, like most things, can be good or bad. If the devs have formed a clique of players on their closed beta Discord who test conscientiously, present the results clearly, are able to interact and make suggestions in a calm and mature manner, then the clique they have formed is demonstrably a good thing. However, even the best cliques eventually end up becoming echo chambers which is why having an open beta process is also a good thing. In other words, the people who participate in open beta and post on the forum aren't part of the decision makers, we are collectively the Tenth Man.

Nah, it's not a terrible idea. Charities and non-profits and people asking for money on Kickstarter do this all the time. If Homecoming chooses not to, or can't because of their deal with NCSoft, that just means that it won't happen, it's doesn't mean that it was a terrible idea. And, like you said, it's just a question/discussion topic. No reason that we can't talk about it.

This is completely untrue. Unless you can alter the game's code you need to convince the Homecoming developers to add it to the game. Now most of us in this thread aren't developers, but if you can't convince us how are you going to convince the devs to add it to the game? That's literally the purpose of the Suggestions & Feedback forum. It gives the devs a place to look at a suggestion and then see a back and forth debate by the players (and possibly by one or more of the devs on their alt accounts) on the merits of this suggestion. Simply posting a suggestion and then attacking anyone who dislikes or disagrees with it is far less likely, in my not so humble opinion, to convince anyone to seriously consider your suggestion. Let me know if you're interested in some tips on how to post a suggestion that the devs might actually take seriously.

The dichotomy on this forum is weird. People are constantly talking about how we need to add info to the game to explain stuff because it's way too confusing for new players, but then they'll also insist that the game is so easy that you can roll your face around on the keyboard and get 500 DPS. Both of these things can't be true at once. You all need to talk amongst yourselves and get your stories straight. Which one is it? Pick a lane!

Ya know, I've noticed that Suggestions threads, over the last year or so, usually fall into one of two categories. First one, an obvious alt account makes a post that's guaranteed to start another flame war and then disappears and starts a new thread after that one gets locked. Second category is the OP gets unreasonably angry and attacks everyone who disagrees with them, claims that they're breaking the rules by disagreeing with the OP, and reports everyone who disagrees with them. And then, after that thread gets locked, they start another one. Often the new thread is the same as the old thread just worded a little differently. I can't be the only one who's noticed this pattern.

Your suggestions are good, and many of them have been suggested before. However, if this is really how you feel about the missions then I recommend that you stop playing CoH. It appears to me that you don't enjoy playing this game. And, if that's true, then instead of trying to make it into a game that you will like via the suggestions forum you should just move on to a game that you will enjoy playing.

It looks to me like he's wearing a rubber suit. I don't know if that's the case, but that's what it looks like. He's gotta be dying in the heat wearing that. Can someone explain to me why that rubber suit, or whatever it is, is more fashionable than simple spandex? I ask because I haven't seen spandex in any of the superhero movies in the 21st century, all of them look like they're wearing rubber suits. Although they usually fit much better than that one. I'm guessing that spandex is no longer cool?

Five year old but unused account with just a couple of posts suddenly reappears and asks a question guaranteed to start some serious forum flamage. Yeah, this clearly isn't a long time player using an alt account to troll the forums and lure the mods into another banhammer fest. You know, like what we've been experiencing every other week for the last couple of months. I recommend just not taking the bait and not replying at all.

In WoW and SWTOR, tanks have an ability called Guard. You can place Guard on another player/NPC. Guard gives the person it's placed on some damage resistance, they draw less aggro, and some of their incoming damage hits the tank instead. If the Homecoming devs were to give the Tanker AoE buff to Brutes and then give Tankers a Guard ability it would accomplish three things. First, it would fix Brutes without making Scrappers obsolete. Second, it would allow Tankers to make use of the extra survivability that is generally just wasted in normal content. Third, it would fix the problem of Tanks damage output making many people feel that Brutes are obsolete.

I'm not holding anything against anyone. The OP asked a question and I responded to it. Then arcane asked a question and I responded to that. I'm not upset and I'm not holding anything against anyone. You're getting yourself all worked up over nothing, and you're imagining emotions in me that simply don't exist. It's ok, you can calm down before you work yourself up into a frenzy. No one's gonna attack your precious Homecoming developers. Take a couple of deep breaths, it'll be alright. I really don't understand why you and Ghost seem to think I'm upset. I'm not. I'm completely calm and just sipping my coffee and responding to your posts. In any case, I would like to thank you and Ghost for so artfully making my point about the DDL attacking people. Anyway, I hope you two are able to calm down and enjoy this nice Sunday. Peace.

It was a developer who, years ago, said they were going to publish a roadmap. I'm sure they knew what they had in mind. It doesn't really matter if you understand the term or not. You frequently "misunderstand" common words in your defense of the developers. Remember when I had to explain to you what the word broken meant?

No. I'm sure that you and/or the devs can figure it out. I'm not here to do your work for you. Nor do I subscribe to your "but if they posted that people would complain" BS. The mods seemed to have no problems swinging their ban-hammers in response to legitimate complaints in threads specifically asking for our feedback, so they can swing those same ban-hammers at trolls and people who attack the devs in bad faith. Why does the Council of 13 even have a forum with moderators if they're too scared to post anything? .

It's already been suggested that story content be changed so that players don't outlevel the contacts and that story missions exempt characters down to the highest level for the mission upon entering the instance. This would instantly make more content available to players. Oruboros arcs already do this, so the tech is already in game, and other CoH server already does this so we know it can be done. A developer said years ago that they would release a roadmap. Since then there's be no such roadmap and every time we ask for it we get viciously attacked by the DDL. It's been suggested many times that TOs should be changed to be level-less SOs that only work if the character is below level 22. This would fix the both problems "how do new players afford SOs" and "TOs are worthless" with one stone. I have no idea what they should do with DOs. The rest should all stay in game as people do use them. Add all of those lost missions (Respec Trials, cape missions) to a contact who talks to the character at the appropriate level. Storage bins are the incentive to be in an SG without penalizing solo play.

@Glacier Peak I just want to know when the new page/issue is going to the test server so we can all try it out. Any ETA?
