Because, quite often, people just want to let you know their opinion of your post without confrontation, without the arguments, the nit picking, the goal-post moving, and without worrying that they'll post something that will trigger draconian moderation. So if you really want better discussions on this forum, quit being dicks to each other, and stop speed shotgunning the report button every time someone posts something that you don't like.

Here's why that won't work:

Well, at least no one's going to accuse them of releasing a trailer with far better graphics than what's in game, as a lot of games have done in the past. Personally I think the graphics look better than City of Heroes, but the character animations look. . . I don't know. Weird? Cheap? Cheap, like they couldn't afford to hire someone who was good at doing character animations. I don't remember the character animations being that bad in the beta tests. Maybe I was looking at the world and not paying attention to the animations.

I was in a couple of the earlier beta tests. It seems like it has a lot of potential. I'm worried that it won't have enough content at launch to keep people around. I'll be playing it at launch, but I don't know for how long. Maybe it'll be one of those games that I just play for awhile after each update.

Not disagreeing with you, but is he wrong? And can anyone prove that alien sparklebugs only do "mediocre DPS" with the cheat? Or am I just supposed to take peoples' word for it?

Rage should be replaced with another attack power and then the damage on all of the powers brought up to almost where it would be if double stacked Rage was running. Boom! Problem solved.

I've always thought that the premise was great, and I'm definitely going to check it out, but I didn't see anything in that last video that made me think that I'll be playing it for years.

No that thread is about the critics. I'm not talking about the critics, I'm talking about Ironheart and the fact that she's a criminal, not a superhero.

I think we both know that they're just automagically taking the other side. And I think we both know why.

I didn't know there was another Ironheart thread. Please point me to it.

Tim Pool watched the first three episodes. He said Ree Ree Williams isn't a hero, she's a bad person, and the writing is trash. I am so glad I didn't watch this show.

No, I wasn't attributing that to you specifically.

Keeps closed beta locked down and doesn't let new players join. Complains that there's not enough people interested in testing. Wait, what?!?

I think more people will watch Drinker's review of the show than the show itself.

Oh, yikes! I hadn't noticed that before. That's really weird. Kids are being assaulted and a government employee thought "I'll use this opportunity to make a poster and publicly talk about teens and their genitalia." It gives the ick, as I think the kids would say. Did I say that right?

I sense an "Orange Man Bad" joke in here somewhere. I'm trying to make a Willpower save to resist.

Agreed. And I'll say the same thing that I said the last time we had this discussion. The Cottage Rule is like the Prime Directive. Neither of those rules are unbreakable, but it needs to happen only rarely and when it does you'd better be right.

Then it seems to me that the nerfs had the desired effect. People who want to play tanks will still play tanks, and people who want to play melee DPS will play scrappers or brutes. Which was how it always should have been.

Can I ask why? Tankers haven't suddenly gotten weaker, nor have they suddenly lost the ability to hold agro. The only real change is a slight loss in overall damage output specifically because their damage output was so high that it was overshadowing one of the damage focused ATs. My main is an INV/EM Tanker. So maybe that's affecting my perception.

Personally I don't understand why anyone is opposed to the Cottage Rule. I know that if I logged into one of my favorite characters after a year or so long break only to find that a particular power that I really liked suddenly did something completely different I'd be very unhappy about that. A commitment by the devs that they're not going to radically change powers into something completely different on a regular basis, is a good thing for any game.

Yeah, I know what you mean. 😁 I kinda wanted it to be like EA is on all the other characters I've had it on. What's the point in even calling it EA if it's not like the EA that everyone else gets? I guess I'm one of the few that thinks that way, judging by how few people were interested enough to even post in the EA Feedback thread.

I am not certain that you understand what villains really are, or that not all villains are the same. My VG on Homecoming, originally formed on the retail servers before the 5th Column came back, is The Fifth Column: Wehrwolf Division. "Die Fünfte Kolonne wird wieder aufsteigen!" A surviving remnant of the Fifth Column, the original Nazi Supergroup. My villains would have no problem working with this guy, so long as it benefited them or the VG. Hannibal Lector is another example of a villain that I do not believe would have an issue working with Nazis, so long as they allowed him to play his games. So would Freddy Kruger. So would many other villains. Now Magneto? Sure, he won't work with the Fifth Column, even during those times in his career where he's actually a villain, because that's his thing, but I doubt he'd have a problem doing those same things as long as he was working with a different villain group. If you truly believe that all villains would refuse to work with the Fifth Column then I submit to you sir that you do not truly understand the term 'villain.'

Es kann sein das die UK darauf Sorgen machen, aber das USA nicht. Wir konnen die French Rolls bomben bis sie tote sind.

Me too. That was what set EA apart from other sets. Like Fire Armor has its damage auras, Ice has its Ice Patch, EA had built in stealth. That was its thing. But I guess stealth would be OP on a Tank? I don't know. "I'm not sure what nerfs you're referring to" then goes on to name the exact powers that were nerfed. Wait, what?!?! (Where's my confused emoji?) In the beta test thread I actually showed the numbers from Brute EA and then did the math for a direct port with the Tanker modifier. Once I finally got the math right, the numbers were a bit higher than what Tankers finally got, and with less of a Psi/Toxic hole. So they nerfed Tanker EA not only by nerfing Energy Drain and Power Shield, but by removing Energy Aura entirely and giving us something else with completely different numbers. So Tanker EA lost the stealth and lost defense numbers.
