It's not hearsay anymore. An NCSoft spokesman spoke with PC Gamer and was quoted in their article. What do you expect? Do you want someone at NCSoft to call you personally?

Really? Because I just read this thread on Reddit and I don't see anyone saying that they don't believe it. Maybe you saw a different thread?

Well now I guess "allegedly" can be safely removed from the Wiki page now. 😃

Yes, and currently the only option is to take the slow path because taking the fast path would basically require you to completely surrender control of your character as it would become an NPC. However, Greycat is clearly suggesting an alternative that would allow your character to take this path but not become an NPC. This pretty much requires an option to break free from it, otherwise it's a horrible option that no one would take. Also, being able to break free from it is a perfect hook for a story arc. Besides, if you do take the fast path, and then later break free, it shows that your willpower is stronger than Recluse's is, which opens up other story possibilities.

Was ist mit dir los? Warum schreibst du immer so sonderbar? Du bist kein Komiker. Ich finde dein Scherze nicht komisch.

See, this attitude is exactly the reason why I hate most people. The very idea that I shouldn't be allowed to speak my mind unless I'm a big tough guy is ridiculous. You're correct that a lot of things get said on the internet that wouldn't be said IRL, and that's because of guys like you. Guys who think nothing of assaulting people smaller and weaker than them if they say anything that they don't like, and then criticize them for not being able to "whoop their way out of a wet paper bag" as you put it. You talk about us being "lower I.Q." and yet you're the one who's so flustered by this that you are unable to respond except with school bully threats. Real life isn't high school, and the ability to "whoop" isn't required to be allowed to speak. The CEO of my company can't "whoop" his way out of anywhere, but no one ever threatens him. Why not? Because we're adults.

Nah, the dripping water drives them crazy. You don't want to break their sanity. It's nearly impossible to get actionable intel from a person in that state. By keeping them in the dark and letting them hear scary sounds for a couple of days they get hungry, can't sleep, and they keep imaging what's happening to cause those sounds. When you bring them out it makes them feel like you've rescued them, and they'll tell you everything.

Performance art? That's what we're calling it now? Ok...

No light. Leave them locked in a completely dark room and play recordings just outside the door of people screaming in pain. After 2-3 days of that everyone talks. Everyone.

You always want to go to Spankyland. What's that all about? .

If you want all of your posts to read like the OP's, sure.

Merit Reward Points are received based on the amount of Inf that you mail to other players. I can help you get a lot of Merit Reward Points by allowing you to email me as much Inf as you'd like. You can spend them at the ATM in your Supergroup Base, or the ATM at Wentworths in Kings Row, to buy IO recipes and badges.

Ok, so how do you explain the other 385 posts that he made that weren't on April 1st but are just as bad?

Sure he has. The OP is clearly an Alt-Troll account of someone who's played the game awhile. He's deliberately trolling, he's deliberately saying stuff to rile people up in hopes that they'll react so that he can report them to the who mods who'll swoop in and ban-hammer you for telling this person exactly what you should be allowed to tell them. Don't let yourself be baited by this person.

Ok, I've been thinking about this, and here's what I think I'd do if I were the devs: First, normalize all of the Super Strength attacks so that their damage is about the same as it is now with one stack of Rage active. Tankers - Rage becomes like Strength of Will or One with the Shield. A click that lasts 60 seconds, has a 10 minute recharge and is immune to recharge buffs. This allows the Tank to tank and, about once per mission, do his "World of Cardboard" speech and lay the beat down on an EB. Brutes - Rage is just replaced with another attack, preferably one with a cool animation. You don't need Rage, you have Fury. Buff Fury. (I know that's a separate discussion) Scrappers and Stalkers get Super Strength with Build Up.

MALEVELON CREEK HAS BEEN LIBERATED!!!

I much prefer this Rooster.

Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were villains! Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a **** how crazy they are!

You can make macros that will control your pets, but you can't make Sandolphin's entire numpad system as a macro. You could do it with a bunch of macros though.

You have a problem that you are complaining about, people have explained to you how to fix the problem. The auction house is a part of the game. You don't have to like it. You don't have to play it. And the developers don't have to give you an additional way to buy your SOs or IOs simply because you refuse to use an option that's already in the game.

People aren't computers. If you want people to agree with you, on anything, you're going to have some credibility with them or they're just going to disbelieve or ignore anything you say. I too do not like it when people try to argue semantics, e.g. "but the devs increased their damage resistance by 0.39%! See! that's a buff." If it doesn't increase their survival by an amount of time visible to the human eye then it's not a buff. I agree with you on this. Where I disagree with you on is the need for MM pets to have a survival buff. I have played many /FF, /Sonic and, /Dark MMs. All of those secondaries increase the survival of pet MMs. Traps does a bit too with its Force Field Generator, but I don't really care for the rest of the set so I don't play it. From what I've seen having to take care of and/or constantly resummon your pets is intended MM gameplay. In short, it appears to me that the developers intend for MM pets to not be very durable.

My signature doesn't say what you think it says. Try reading it again. Giant purple balloon animal.

Well, except that everything I said was factually accurate. Yeah, I guess that I don't know what I'm talking about. Yes. It was removed from the pet powers and added to the upgrade powers. Thank you for proving that what I said was correct. I bought City of Villains when it first came out and bought City of Heroes later. This was back when you had to purchase them separately. I then played off and on until the game shut down. The background picture on my profile page is a screenshot that I took when the retail servers shut down for good. So yes, I was there. Your psychic powers have failed you once again. I've put thought and effort into my responses and, as I showed above, everything I've written is factually accurate. I've also shown that I am, in fact, quite educated in this matter, having played MMs for hundreds of hours and I have dozens of keybind files that I wrote myself in order fine tune my control of my pets since I chose not to use Sandolphan's numpad keybind scheme. Your claims about my ego seem to be intense projection on your part. It appears to me that your ego is incredibly large and shaped like a balloon animal. Like a giant purple hound or something. I'll have to think about it and consult my psychic abilities, as you apparently have done.

Your opinion flat out ignores factual information like MM pets have already received 2 survival buffs. 1) Damage Resistance being added to the Upgrade powers and 2) pet levels being equalized in Incarnate content. Once again no, I'm not here "just to hear myself talk." You're not psychic, you cannot read my mind, and your thoughts do not create reality. You can keep saying it all you want, but it doesn't make it true. Your opinion is not reality. I'm here because I want to discuss this subject because I've played MMs for many hundreds of hours, I really like this AT, and I disagree with your opinion. Unless "you're just here to hear yourself talk" is a colloquial expression for "disagrees with me and that makes me want to cry" then ok, I guess you're right.

I had multiple max level MMs on the retail servers and I have many MMs on the Homecoming servers. I do play MMs, I just disagree with you. No, I didn't ignore your post, I just didn't feel the need to quote your entire post. And no, I'm not here to "hear myself talk", I just disagree with you. That's your opinion, mine is that the survival of MM pets should be balanced around which secondary power set you choose. I'm not just suggesting it, I'm flat out saying it. I don't care about Controller or Dominator pets, they are not Masterminds.
