You seem to be unable to read. All I've done is give fake scenarios on the basis of the entire community agreeing on something and implying it'd be ok to do so. Never have i ever stated i think anything should be changed based on my own opinion. Please for the love of god be coherent. Either you can what if or you can't, you can't do it and tell others they cannot. The people pay the bills but should not be allowed to have input on the game they pay for?????? Are you serious?

Yeah, you stated an *IF* everyone and i challenged it to being different from your example due to setting. His question is not "Change a power because everyone wants it" It's would it be ok to change a power away from its initial design if everyone agreed to the change. That's entirely different from what your pushing.

Oh i agree with you, the minority of players couldn't balance to save their lives...but the homecoming devs are just a group of players. They are not positron in a mask. They may have a wider view internally, but thats why when they make decisions they are often thorough and have lengthy discussion about the decision. This crap about how they're in charge and can show people the door is a shit way to think. They run on donations by the players and have been extremely good about feedback and suggestions. I often thank the stars powerhouse is the guy making changes because hes done extremely well informed changes so far but to say they shouldn't at least listen to the player base when looking into what or how much things should be changed is pure sillyness.

lmao you literally started the discussion by saying just because everyone agrees to something doesn't make it right/correct and now you're saying to stop talking about if most everyone agreed to something.

the bills the community pay? All of this is a giant what if, and assuming everyone agreed it'd be extremely likely that the decision would be backed by facts and examples. All you did was swoop in and on the same assumptions snub your nose at the community as if everyone of the people here could agree on something it'd still probably be incorrect. Also, again with the difficulty whining. CoH was never hard get over it.

Terrible. If everyone disagreed with their decision, they should absolutely take a step back and re-evaluate the decision.

Random example doesn't matter. Stamina was once in this situation, nearly all agreed that it should be changed because everyone needed it. They agreed and changed it, everyone wanted it and it was the right decision. This is a video game, usually the cry of the majority is in the right. If it's so painfully obivous something is wrong that a large majority of the player base (who can't agree on anything) agree to it, it's very likely the right choice.

You're not wrong but you're also missing the point. if 100% of the coh player base was like "sprint should also give you a small defense bonus", then the correct decision on a developers part would be to give sprint a defense bonus. This is a video game, not a country.

More slots? nah. What would be nice is if certain repeated abilities used the same slotting but were modified by the active form. Kheld's struggle but more slots would be too much.

This needs the option "Cottage rule is stupid, the game changes and so to should certain abilities".

yes I'd live without mez protection. Toggle suppression is a huge QOL imo

you know for some reason i literally didn't see your "gives humans mez protection" part. Just excuse me. @Doomrider my only problem with the other ways to get mez thing is sure on other squishes that makes sense but tri-forming is designed around hot swapping and you literally can't if enemies have holds/stuns on you when you drop from lobster to human. It just feels like bad design. You are right though, it's not THAT big of a deal and would probably be fine giving mez protection through eclipse. Jump in > eclipse is already the play so works out.

Yeah but it wouldn't help tri-form any, it would only further promote singular form play. Which is my issue with it

I think it'd be bad for tri-form because right now on teams you can kind of juggle aggro with other off tanks allowing you to go into human and use your utility without drawing too much fire, Humans not having mezz makes it risky and being forced into lobster without getting to use your utility would kind of defeat the tri-shade strengths. On a perma light form PB, it'd probably be great. @monos1 @sacredlunatic

That would be terrible for tri-forms, the inherent. It's a lot less complicated than you're making it to be honest and thats not a stab at you. (This is pure warshade talk, I'm not up to code on PB) maybe a peacebringer could chime in. To improve dwarf's tanking ability, you add inky/orbiting death as being able to be on in dwarf. To improve humans everything, you add supression to the toggles instead of turning them off. You add mez protection to their shield so that when you hot swap while tanking or soloing you aren't just stunned and unable to use abilities and forced into lobster where you slowly get whittled down because you have no way to use utility. Squids pretty ok, they'd benefit from humans having mezz protection enough to not need much of a change and they don't really need mez protection to do anything. As for the damage cap, at least for warshade it's incredibly easy to reach damage cap at all times nearly perma if not perma. Increasing it would be a little much imo, at least to 500%. Maybe an extra 50-75% could be ok but not much more so, they're suppose to be good at multi-tasking not overpowered.

My problem with everything you said @Solarverse is it boiled down to basically "How dare you say he can't have an opinion" while telling people they can't have an opinion. I responded to his idea on +8 and why it would not work even on teams and then agreed that +5 or +6 while incarnated and +7 while incarnated could be ok. You jumped on people for disagreeing with his initial burst of complaining about attunement and people requesting specific things in certain power sets being buffed and to make it worse went on a seemingly out of your butt recollection of exactly who was able to do what back in the day. I repeat, just because you weren't good at CoH back then doesn't mean everyone else wasn't too and for you to snub your nose at people calling them elitist is an absolute dick head of a move. You sir are not worth talking to beyond this point especially if you can't be bothered to read past page 1 before ranting. People did not disagree with him about optional difficulty, they disagreed with him about removing features just because he thinks the game is too easy.

-res instead could be cool, give it a little flavor BS doesn't have. I'd suggest the same for Warmace as well. That way you could have them be the -res and kat/bs handle -def.

Awesome spamming nova fist was terrifying. hope it gets out before the weekend, Itrials usually happen more often on weekend, hard to do sometimes during week

Anyone looking for difficulty, nows your chance. Lambda sector is bugged and marauder spams nova fist. Not being sarcastic, just pointing it out.

During the Itrial Lambda Sector, marauder was spamming nova fist without warning instantly killing everyone. He started doing so immediately when the fight began. Often times he would do it 3-4 times before we received another warning, however he would use it faster than normal even with the warning. We were a team of 8 attempting a speed Lambda.

I think it would be cool for new content added by Homecoming. If it's not too much effort anyway, don't want to bog them down with needing voice overs for every new arc.

Carnies/Matlta are easy. More challenging would be +4/x8 Awakened in the Mr.G arc or BP/PPD in the DA arcs. Those can be solo'd but they're still pretty rough for most characters. From personal experience. There are characters who will straight up regardless of their IO/Incarnate never be able to solo +4/x8 awakened. This is one zone sure but this is as challenging as soloing something that isn't an Itrial is gonna get. It's also a decent glimpse into how the devs were approaching incarnates needing harder enemies. On a side note, i see 0 harm in adding +5 - +8 and keeping it optional. It forces no one and gives people more choice. I don't see +8 going well for anyone, might even be too much for teams but hey who doesn't wanna try?

I never said coh wasn't easier now than before. I just said it's always been easy. It may not have been easy to you, but there has always been people/groups pushing what others thought impossible. Smaller and smaller teams doing hamidon faster and faster for example. Power creep is a common issue in MMO's and unfortunately coh was shut down before it could address it. I don't know if you think the HC team is magical and can just flip switches to increase difficulty or what but asking for an increased difficulty is more challenging than you think unless you literally only want +8. I've got bad news for you though, you'd probably die instantly because of how CoH works. You'd con grey

idk what server you played on, but LRSF was hard for like week 1 until everything was figured out lol. CoH was never overly difficult, characters were dumb powerful pre-ED some argue even more so than now. One AT use to herd entire maps, thats hardly any different from now.

City of Heroes has always been a casual MMO. I'm all for the option to keep going higher but i guess thats what happens when an MMO shuts down in the middle of something resembling an end game being put into play. End game has never been CoH's strong suit, the game has always been more alt-centered and to be honest its one of city of heroes charming elements. I'm not sure what they could do other than to just keep raising how high you can set things. Aggro cap is never gonna change so just throw higher than x8 out of the window. Maybe if they made more enemy groups like the awakened in future content that could be cool. You could always do oro arcs with "enemies are buffed" or "no enhancements" etc to increase difficulty. The options are there, you're just not using them i guess?
