What I'm saying is that I thought that Broadsword and Katana were supposed to do less damage than other sets by design, via the increased prevalence of Lethal Resistance in enemies, and the balancing factor was that they have Parry. And Assault Rifle is just F-ed because the devs hate Assault Rifle. 😄

If I want more damage I can go with Fire or Energy Melee. If I want more defense then I can go with Broadsword/Katana. I always figured that balance was done on purpose by the devs.

Well, the problem with that statement is that several people have provided some pretty sound reasoning as to why it would be bad. Not saying that I agree with them, just saying that there's been some math in this thread, and it's been explained. Nah, I'm not indignant. I don't think you're a radical. I think we're just having a discussion. No matter what gets said here we're still two guys who love City of Heroes. Everything else is just unimportant details. Peace.

Another reason why cutting the duration in half and adding a big damage boost during that time might be a good solution. It makes it difficult while not making it last so long as to just be annoying.

I used to do it fairly regularly when I first started playing on Homecoming. When I got to the Frostfire mission I'd advertise it in the LFG channel. I'd have a full team within a minute. Back on live my friends and I would do the Atlas Park Safeguard mission, get the jet pack, and then go to The Hollows and do the story arcs there. The Hollows hasn't been scary dangerous since then, and that started when Safeguards went live with Issue 7.

In my experience debuffs aren't nearly as common in game as they are talked about on the forums. However I have seen teams with multiple Tactics running be able to hit PPs that have MOGed. Vanden has a point though, simply changing the duration of MOG doesn't affect the challenge. I'd like to suggest that, in addition to halving MOGs duration, PPs be given a +300% damage buff that lasts the same duration as MOG. That will certainly liven things up! 😄

I do like the challenge of trying to 'defeat' the Paragon Protectors before they're able to MOG. However, I agree that it lasts too long. The duration should be halved. I think that would preserve the challenge while also reducing the long and drawn out annoyance factor.

It's not a matter of how important the topic is, it's a matter of does your brain actually function. If I say "The sky is blue", and you say "chewing gum is not blue, send me a pic of a single stick of gum that's blue." What you've done there is a straw-man argument, you've argued against something I never even said. If a person responds with nothing but straw-man arguments they're either disingenuous or insane. Either way I don't want to discuss anything with them and many other people will feel the same way. By the way, before people get all offended, I wasn't insulting a particular person on this forum, I was simply explaining what a straw-man argument is.

And this is where you straw-man everyone in the thread that's not agreeing with you. People aren't saying "everything is impossible", people aren't even saying "this is impossible", people are just saying that they're against your idea. Some think it'd be too much effort to code for the very small benefit. Some think it'd just make the game easier and they think it's already too easy. Straw-man and Ad hominem attacks aren't going to convince anyone. By the way, a lot of people in this thread have offered good suggestions to help you. I think I even saw one poster say that he could write the macro that would turn your armor toggles on for you. It's not what you want, but it's all that we, as players, can do to help you. People here will even offer you build advice so that you don't have to keep turning your toggles on so often. So do you really want a solution? Or do you just want to beat everyone until they agree with you. Newsflash, that's never going to happen.

Man. What is it with people today posting in the Suggestions Forum and then freaking out when other people disagree with their suggestions? Progress isn't "change something just cause I want it!" In fact, progress isn't really a thing at all. Progress is the state where you are moving toward a specific goal. What exactly, Replacement, is your specific goal? If you can't name a specific goal then nothing that you propose is progress, it's simply a change. Being opposed to change isn't bad if it's a bad change or if it's a change merely for the sake of change. Neither of which is progress either. And what if I do admit that I'm "opposed to progress"? Does that somehow make me a bad person?

Here's an idea that might make your life less of a hassle. Build your characters better so that you're not dying and having to retoggle all of the time.

No. Just because people's attitudes have been negative in this thread doesn't mean that they're negative in all threads. It just means that the people who are posting don't like your idea. Plus, the developers are going to do what they're going to do. I really doubt that they're going to do or not do something just because I, or a few others in this thread, don't like it.

1) I wasn't trying to talk to you as if you were new to City of Heroes. I was simply making a statement. 2) Don't get all offended that I wasn't recognizing your veteran status. I had no way of knowing that. 3) I said "no real benefit", but what I should have said was "not enough of a benefit to be worth the amount of work." 4) I have a number of tanks and scrappers and I have a keybind on all of them to activate all of their toggles. So I do understand how annoying it can be. 5) If you say something in a public forum people are going to respond, and some of those responses will disagree with you. If people are disagreeing with you a lot, as you stated in a previous post, perhaps you should consider the possibility that your ideas aren't good ones.

People who've been on the forums for awhile are just saying that this would likely be a huge amount of work for something that has almost no real benefit.

Whether on the internet or in real life people are going to disagree with you. That doesn't mean that they're bad people or that they have a hidden or vile agenda. Usually it just means that they disagree with you. The best advice that I can give you is that life will be much easier if you get used to it.

May I respectfully suggest that, instead of hoarding absolutely everything that you come in contact with, perhaps you could consider selling stuff you don't want on the market, hanging on to the INF, and buying the stuff you want when you're ready to use it. Doing this would solve your problem. Just a thought...

I have to second The Crow, Aliens and Tombstone. And if you like Star Trek TOS, Forbidden Planet is also mandatory.

I believe that Hibernate makes you untouchable like phase does. So no enemy can affect you at all. However, if I remember correctly, you will still take damage from any DOT's that were on you when you activated Hibernate. If you're taking damage in Hibernate that's probably the source, toxic or fire DOT's.

Ok, I totally agree with keeping Hudson Hawk but also adding Die Hard. I don't know why I didn't notice that it was missing earlier. Also, is this strictly a list of 80's movies? If not I'd add HEAT to the list.

I think you misspelled "Near Dark." Other than that, I agree with you! 😄

Rebooting my machine fixed the issue. Thanks for that! 🙂

Just as the title says, the recent update freezes at 82%. Nothing has changed with my computer lately. But suddenly today the update freezes at 82%

I get what you're saying. There will always be jerks wherever you go. Home, work, grocery store, online video game, everyone. Ignore/block and move on. My advice, for what it's worth, is that your entire life will be a lot happier if you don't let stuff like this affect YOU. Some one else being a jerk shouldn't make you feel down. It's not your fault, it's not your responsibility, and you shouldn't care. Block/ignore, have a good laugh at someone being a jerk/idiot, and then forget that it happened. Drama just doesn't matter.

Yep. I just checked and realized that's exactly what was happening. My character had been logged off in the Vanguard base and had the day job bonus. Thanks for pointing that out!

I noticed a new bug: Villain side newspaper missions award 2 Vanguard Merits upon completion. No, there's no Rikti in the mission at all.
