But I thought EVERYONE was playing a defense soft-capped Blaster. Wasn't that the reason for all of the "Game too easy, bruh" threads that used to pop up twice a week?

C'mon man! You can't actually expect people to use correct grammar and English now days. You're such a Boomer! 😁

Hmmmmm... It almost sounds like you're saying the fault lies with the OP and not with the anonymous Brute/Tank that he's complaining about. That can't be right. 😄

I don't know about live, but the OP here on Homecoming clearly couldn't operate the chat window well enough to just ask the Tank/Brute to slow down and do a better job at holding aggro. "Put the god damn bowl down and pop a green, Arcane!!!" I swear I'm gonna add that to my signature. 😁

If you're making a serious suggestion please explain why it's an issue that you believe should be fixed. kthxbi!

Yeah. It's almost like if they'd have been speaking on Discord they could have asked what was happening and avoided this whole problem.

Were you running Tactics? Or anything else that increases perception for people around you? I ask because it's always been the case that +perception powers increase the aggro radius of friendly NPCs, like Lady Jane and Fusionette.

Wait, what? I played villain side a lot. In fact my first character was a villain. It was the mayhem missions that convinced me to buy CoV in the first place. I don't remember Mercy Island being changed. Not saying that it wasn't. I'm old. There's lots of things that I forget. How was it changed?

Oh, c'mon! This is a horrible idea. We all know it, and we all know why. Removing all of the hurdles that slow the process of creating a character will allow a script/bot to make 1,000 characters in a matter of seconds. This would just be creating yet another way to attack the server and possibly take it down. And the benefit? When I make a new character I'll be able to get them money and into an SG 60 whole seconds faster. Now, adding the ability to invite your character to an SG while in the character creation screen? Sure! That's a great idea.

The problem with your method is that the M in PEMDAS says very specifically that all multiplication is done and THEN division, which is the D in PEMDAS. Your solution ignores that and treats multiplication and division as equal, which they are not.

Ok, this has been bugging me, so I went and found this: - What is the Order of Operations? Operations have a specific order, and this is what “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally” helps us to understand. It’s an acronym that tells us in which order we should solve a mathematical problem. “Please” stands for “Parentheses,” so we solve everything inside of the parentheses first. Then, “Excuse,” which is for “Exponents.” We solve that after we solve everything in parentheses. Multiplication, which is the “My,” and this happens from left to right. And then division, which is the “Dear,” which also happens left to right. And then we have addition and subtraction, which also happens from left to right, and this is “Aunt” and “Sally.” - It's been awhile since I've been in school, but I do vaguely remember the acronym PEMDAS. So using that order of operations the formula should be solved in this order: 6÷2(1+2) = ? 6÷2*3 = ? 6÷6 = ? ? = 1 Which means that I was wrong and you all were correct.

I do agree with you, and I've said this in other threads, that the developers should at least post on the forums what they want to do with Rage. Even if it's just to tell us that they will never touch it. I wouldn't like that response, but at least then we'd know. Personally, I think they should just delete Rage, put an actual attack in its place, and adjust the damage on all of the attacks so that Super Strength's DPS is roughly equal to the current version of Titan Weapons. Then they could port it to Scrappers without a problem. They'll never do that of course because the forum rage would be epic. Failing that they should just change Rage to a toggle for Brutes and Tanks and the version ported to Scrappers should just have Build Up. Once again they're not going to do that because the forum rage would be epic. So we're stuck where we're at now. As long as we can double stack Rage it's going to have a crash, which is fine as is.

The person you're responding to is one of those that wants Super Strength to be the highest damage powerset in game. You can tell by one of his earlier posts where he wrote: Which is clearly untrue. Also, he's one of those that conveniently forgets that while the crash is in effect the character can still Taunt and do damage with vet powers like Sands of Mu (as Greycat pointed out), Undead Slaying Axe, or Nemesis Staff. As I said earlier. There's no point in even responding to these folks. They'll never admit that they're wrong, their statements are provably false and they're clearly just trolling.

1) I'm not defending the developers. 2) If you'd read the posts above you'd have seen that my post was a joke. A joke that was specifically asked for by another poster. 3) Grow a sense of humor.

Nein. 😁 No, seriously. The actual answer is 9. .

Super Strength is fine as is. It doesn't need to be buffed. The crash lasts for 10 whole seconds, deal with it. Case dismissed!

So we're clearly being trolled here. This guy is walking along, bait in the water, writing things that clearly aren't true, trying to see if he can reel in a big chunk of forum flamage. Please remember that the last troll poster (Diantane) tricked a lot of people into getting themselves a bunch of warning points and temp bans because of the way the mods protected him. My advice: Don't fall for it. Don't respond. Just walk away.

Actually I love Handclap. I have it on my Will/SS Tanker. I have it slotted with a KB > KD IO, and it functions as a second Footstomp. Sure, it doesn't do any damage, but between those two attacks, and Air Sup and Knockout Blow, I spend all of my time throwing the enemies around. It's hilarious! Besides, my friend the Blaster does more than enough damage for the both of us. There's few things funnier than me knocking the whole group down and then watching him light them on fire before they can even get back up. Oh, and I don't farm. Ever. .

I've done some online searching and been unable to find anything about this. Could you please explain to me: How is using Discord shady? What controversy is behind it? How is it any more of a hassle than any other program? Thanks in advance for the info.

Ok, so first of all I agree that using Discord as a means to find groups is not how I've ever used it, and I would not recommend it for that. It's best for voice chat between friends and SG members. Quite simply the speed and ease of verbal communication over that of in-game text chat is amazing. Also, there's a lot to be said with just being able to chit-chat with the other people on your team. Being social is an ingrained part of being human. And chatting with other people that you're gaming with makes the game a more enjoyable experience for anyone who doesn't have... 'issues.' Try one or more of: Moving the mic away from your mouth. Going into Discord settings and adjusting the sensitivity of your mic. Activating the Push-To-Talk feature. Not blaming others for your mistakes. Other people shouldn't have to listen to you huffing and puffing into the microphone simply because you can't be bothered to operate your equipment properly. What's next? A post about how you hate driving a car because every time you change lanes without using your turn signals people get mad and yell at you?

Craig Zinkievich (Zinc on the forums) was the executive producer for STO from start until about 6 months after launch. He was then replaced by Daniel Stahl (dstahl). Jack Emmert (Jackalope) really wasn't involved in the creation of Star Trek Online. After launch he wrote a couple of posts on the STO forums about trying to get the executive producer to add more KDF content. So he clearly wasn't directly involved in the development either. At that point he was listed as the Chief Creative Officer for Cryptic Studios. WTF that is. I understand the hate that a lot of people have for Jack. After all, he lied to a lot of CoH customers about a lot of things. A lot of people don't like being lied to, especially by people they're paying money to.

I think this is a great idea! The suggestion was clearly worded, by an obvious genius, and it will bring nothing but joy and happiness to Homecoming. I approve! 😄

No. I have a high-speed cable ISP. Look, all of the attacks have animation times. I [TAB] to a target and hit the attack button, 2.37 seconds later the attack goes off. The animation for the next attack then starts because I already hit the button and it's queued. 1.2 seconds later that attack fires off. The animation for the next attack starts and 1.86 seconds later that attack happens. In an FPS I can literally perform a mag dump and kill multiple targets in the same time that it takes me to fire off 2 or 3 powers in City of Heroes. Or SWTOR, or WoW, or ESO, or LOTRO, or Rift. In GW2 I can attack, dodge roll, give myself Aegis and then attack again all in the time it would take me to perform 2 attacks in City of Heroes. Geez, people. Is slow -in comparison- really that difficult a concept to grasp?

City of Heroes is a standard, tab-targeting style, 3rd generation MMORPG. Simple as that.

Probably the best graphics you'll find with the old-fashioned game play that you want will be either Rift (a WoW clone with better graphics), Star Wars the Old Republic (ditto), or Elder Scrolls Online (which I somehow forgot to mention earlier). Also, Champions Online actually has pretty good graphics if you tweek the options a bit. None of those have great graphics, but the graphics is better than CoH.
