  1. Ok, setting the salience of existence aside for a moment. Didn't you and I have a discussion awhile back about people trying to discourage certain play styles and how you didn't like that because you feel that it can drive people away? Isn't your stance against inspirations in email and multi-boxing essentially the same thing? Doesn't your stance on this violate your precept of "And it harm none, do as you will"? Look, I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm asking these questions honestly. I'm horrible at being subtle. If I was trying to be a jerk you'd know. Not that you'd actually care Bill, but others might.
  2. Ok, fair enough. So what's the difference between: Teammates buffing me and keeping me at the caps. Multi-boxing and my other accounts buffing me and keeping me at the caps. My Huge Inspirations from my email keeping me at the caps. What do you have against my Huge Inspiration?! 😄 (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
  3. Bill, you know that you and I mostly agree that game balance is preferable and even on what it should be. We've talked about this. The problem is that I just don't see how having a couple of inspirations in my email affects game balance. Everyone can do it. That's balanced. Am I being an idiot? What am I missing here?
  4. My post was a tiny bit hyperbolic, without a doubt. And it's quite possible that, due to the constant "game too easy bruh!" threads over the last two years, that I overreacted to your post. However, I still think that my post is accurate. I fully believe that people who try to get stuff nerfed that isn't an issue, for no good reason, when they know full well that it's going to upset people = schadenfreude.
  5. What's "common sense" about trying to get something nerfed that isn't broken and isn't breaking anything? I equate your attempt to balance the game (in this instance) by forbidding inspirations in email with the neighborhood busybody who calls the police because a couple of 8 year old children have opened a lemonade stand in a residential area without a business license. Is that technically a violation of the rules? Sure. But who benefits when the cops show up and shut down a lemonade stand and tell those kids that they can't sell lemonade without a license? Who benefits from that? I know that Karen gets a warm fuzzy feeling when she sees the sad looks on the faces of those kids when the cops close that lemonade stand down. Is that what you call common sense? I call that schadenfreude.
  6. Good morning, Vlardoom. Let me see if I can touch on all of your questions. Accuracy enhancements do what they say they do. Just FYI, you almost never want more than 1 of these in a power. Defense enhancements lower the chance an enemy will hit you. All enemies have a 50% chance to hit you, and you subtract your defense from their chance to hit. So if you have 10% defense then the enemies will only have a 40% chance to hit you. Also, their chance to hit you cannot be lowered to under 5%. So 45% defense will lower their chance to hit to the 5% floor, which is why 45% is called the "soft cap." Endurance Reduction enhancements reduce the endurance cost of your powers, both click powers and toggles. Endurance Modification enhancements increase your endurance recovery and increase the amount of endurance you drain from enemies, if you have a power that does that. Heal/Absorb enhancements increase your Regeneration, which is hit points. And increase the level of Absorb you have, if any. Recharge enhancements reduce the time it takes a power to recharge. The formula is complicated. More is better. Resist Damage enhancements lower the damage from a hit by a %. So if you have 25% resistance to lethal damage and a Council Raseri Nacht Ubermenchen Heckenschutze hits you for 100 points of damage then you'll only take 75 points of damage. Also, there is a thing called "Enhancement Diversification." It's not mentioned anywhere in the game, but it's a very big deal. Short version, you should never put more than 3 of the same type of Enhancement into a power. Certain enhancements are crafted, they are called Invention Origin enhancements. Some of those are part of a specific named set. They work pretty much like equipment sets in other MMOs, the more of a set you have equipped the more of the set bonuses you'll get. I don't understand what you mean by "power secondaries." Incarnates are a long story. I recommend reading this thread by Robotech Master (/e salute).
  7. Are you a game developer? Is my having a couple of inspirations in my email wrecking your game? Is it affecting your paycheck? Not picking on you specifically Arcane, but what is it with you internet Karens now days? "The game's in a good spot so let's see if we can talk the devs into nerfing some stuff. That'll show those filthy players! And your little dog too!" Geez. You all got your Hard Mode, remember? After years of thread after thread after thread where you all tried desperately to nerf my characters, and make the entire game much harder, you finally got your Hard Mode. Now please, go play your Hard Mode and stop trying to get stuff nerfed!!! Man, it's too early in the morning and I haven't had enough coffee. I really need more coffee. And why is there no angry face emote? Oh, I can't have an angry face? Might offend someone, huh?
  8. The one he got over Macho Grande? 😁
  9. Once again, no. Murder in the first degree is with premeditation. Murder in the second degree is without premeditation, but it's still murder. *sigh* I can't believe I'm having to explain this to adults. Do they not teach any of this in school any more?
  10. No. Killing is not always wrong, murder always is. The definition of murder is "killing without justification."
  11. He said that he switched to streaming on Twitch about a year ago. So here's what I think really happened: He found out that he can make money on Twitch streaming other games. He decided to stop playing City of Heroes so he can spend more time streaming games that make money. His followers repeatedly asked him why he no longer plays City of Heroes. So he made this video where he blames "the community" for his no longer playing City of Heroes.
  12. Ok, for those of you who are interested, here's the link to the reddit post they're talking about. It's kinda silly, in my expert opinion, to start talking about another thread and then not provide a link to it. There's no real need. It's about what you expect. People are arguing back and forth about the drama that Positive Gamer brought on himself and his own burnout, which he blames on others of course. Yay, today's society where people have been brainwashed into thinking that nothing's EVER their fault!
  13. So you're saying that I should start a YouTube channel now?
  14. /Noranger! I put the invite out in LFG and I'll inform everyone that the team's full in LFG. You can't tell me what to do! You're not my real father!
  15. More Jedi lies!!!
  16. I can't answer that as I want to continue to be allowed to post. Also, because I don't want to break the rules by continuing to stray off topic, I have to say that I'm completely against both a Level 50 boost token and a full reroll retcon.
  17. Well that and the fact that I'm no longer allowed to just /jranger.
  18. This post right here, made by one of the developers, has a link to exactly where you should go to download City of Heroes Homecoming.
  19. I have no idea how large your character list is. How could I possibly know that? I was simply pointing out that what is being asked for in this thread can already be done, just not in the exact way that the OP is asking for. I am against a full insta-respec for the same reason that I'm against an insta-level 50.
  20. This already exists. There are just 4 easy steps. Go to a tailor and save your character's costume(s). Log out to the character screen and delete the character. Make a new character, upload the new costume an choose the same name. Enter the game. This allows you to recreate the character as a different AT and with any powersets that you choose. Everything else will be the same. The exact same costume, body type and dimensions, everything.
  21. I agree with this in theory. Not necessarily in this instance though. The upside, if you can call it that, of Comm Officer and Illusionist summons not awarding XP is that it makes them a target. My friends and I always try to shut them down first so as to prevent the summons in the first place. This provides some fun and actually requires us to think while steamrolling through enemies. But what do I know? I think that if I'm 50 and I save someone in Atlas Park from getting mugged that I should get some kind of reward as well.
  22. You see, this is what I love about people. People are hilarious and full of contradictions. Many posts in this thread boil down to "I won't pay any money" but also "The Homecoming developers deserve to get paid for their work." You all are too funny.
  23. Personally, I'd just go with a subscription model. I really hate the nickel and dimeing of the in game store microtransaction model. And don't even get me started on gamble boxes. I don't care if subscriptions have vanished in terms of popularity. You know what else isn't really popular anymore? 17 year old MMOs. Perhaps they could even go with a hybrid model. Free players get 10 slots per server, subscribers get the 1,000 slots per server.
  24. Not necessarily. While the current Homecoming servers are in NA, I seem to remember that, in the beginning, they were located in another country. In the event that NCSoft sends a cease and desist the servers can be migrated to a country that doesn't have legal reciprocity with SK or the US. This is why I'm not concerned about Homecoming shutting down. I also believe that it's one of the reasons why NCSoft hasn't sent a cease and desist, because it would just make them look weak and foolish. It's probably also the reason that the devs don't want to reveal their secret identities.
