Yeah especially at the shadow clones. your own team composition and how you approach the fight decides how hard it will be. I wish the game made use of that kind of thing more.

 

Maybe even a villain who can steal your powers, and replace it with their own for a short time, then it wears off and you swap back, lol. Could only last maybe a minute or two each time but would shake up the battle.

 

Don't know how to do that without seriously messing up keybinds though lol. Suddenly your whole build is replaced with another xD would be a fairly crippling debuff, but depending on the replacement you get, probably survivable if you dont do the dumb.

[To everyone (re)joining the game and forums]

Yeah unless you're causing your team trouble you should be fine. different characters also contribute differently, some do help by running ahead somewhat.

Yes nerf regen! it's not nerfed enough until it depletes your health instead of regenerating it! 🤣

[To everyone (re)joining the game and forums]

Imagine thinking teamwork means "moving as a herd" lol. It can. but it depends on what works best for the team. English is clearly not someones first language. 

[Patch Notes Discussion for June 7 Minor Update]

I'm just confused why they would change something like this. Whatever happened to the old philosophy of play how you want?

To me... any legal agreement with NCSoft is a horrible idea. This saves NCSoft from trying to take HC to court to be shut down. They can now just say, "Shut it down."

 

NCsoft didn't shut down the original city of heroes just to be mean. They simply were an out of touch company that didn't understand the popularity and wanted to make way for something they thought would make more money.

 

If it costs them nothing, they have no reason to want to shut down HC.

So you think people should waste time traveling as a herd when you can expedite things by moving at least a group ahead? 
 

Never understood this mentality. Why do we all need to move as a herd? That is an objective waste of time if a few people on the team can effortlessly handle groups of enemies

I mean theres no requirement if you're in a group that's ok with it, obviously. This is like trying to explain how to make a peanut butter sandwich to an alien, ugh.

[Mod hammers at full, captain!]

Well, I asked a pretty innocent question about whether there would be increased mod activity in the game in the future, it got removed for no reason.

At least I see the forums have increased activity lol.

[To everyone (re)joining the game and forums]

If you're charging ahead to mez enemies for your team, then you know I'm not talking about you. I'm obviously referring to people who pay absolutely no mind to teamwork lol.

[To everyone (re)joining the game and forums]

Well players who join teams just to be rude and charge ahead leaving everyone else behind aren't people you want to be playing with to begin with. Those children will always exist, probably some random 10 year old.

[Greetings. Never played before]

The gameplay can definitely feel significantly slow and janky, especially at lower levels, but once you get used to it you come to appreciate the sheer variety of options you have for taking on enemies. like, actually effective Crowd control, even able to mind control groups into killing each other (although you get less xp that way if I recall)

[No starfield posts?]

Starfield is indeed a huge disappointment. Like many bad games, I'm sure it can be fun for a while, but it's definitely not even close to worth the price tag.

[Make Vidiot maps standard.]

Vidiotmaps is just a bunch of image files that replace the mini map in game. They add locations of things like Exploration Badges, Plaques, and Giant Monster spawns.

Sounds like some of those files get corrupted somehow in downloading, as the install was done correctly.

[What are your "ignore" habits and why?]

Yes, glad someone is reposting common sense. I was joking about the superpower part. if that wasn't obvious. Given the number of times some troll has picked a fight with me over something they just literally pulled outta their you know what, I have to clarify.

 

Also to clarify don't get me wrong plenty of good people here. probably more than the bad. That does NOT change the fact that a significant number of trolls ruin it. and that they get away scott free with it every time.

 

it is the perfect haven for such First alphabet letter-holes.

 

If you want to know why I seem to have such a cynical angry attitude here, CERTAIN people need only look in a mirror. you know who you are.

 

I have reached out more times than I care to count, trying to find common ground and failed. ball has been in their court a while now. if they really weren't malicious wheres the olive branch? yeah I didnt think so.

[What is the RP hub these days?]

Ok Maybe I mistyped. it would be more accurate to say Insinuation. it wasn't saying be more open to avenues I found offensive. it was saying "Sounds like a you problem" this directly implies I am to blame for things I had no control over. I've done my best for YEARS always examining if I've been doing something wrong. but the conclusion has been the same for the past 4 years at least. at first, yeah I was doing a few things wrong. but not anymore. that can no longer explain it.

[What is the RP hub these days?]

Interesting a certain person voted down latex's borderline attack on me. maybe they arent ALL bad lol.

Sounds like a you problem. I've found plenty of great Roleplayers.

Sounds like someone who has no idea what they're talking about, and knows absolutely nothing about me, or most people here.

 

Given I have slightly higher standards than most here, so it seems.

[What are your "ignore" habits and why?]

Same here haha. in some way or other.

 

-edit

 

I sure have a lot of strange power over people. all I need to do is post, anything at all, common sense, common knowledge, nonsense, anything, and it gets voted down. wow. that's a neat superpower. useless but neat.

[Hover Defender!]

What about Cold/Fire defender? you steal the heat from enemies, or take it from the air around allies to grant them ice armor, then throw the heat back as fire!

 

dang, now I need to make one.

[Powersets that are just dandy...]

Street Justice, Rad Armor, Electric Armor, Time, (both versions) Cold Domination, Stalker Ice Melee, Stalker Staff Melee, not sure about much else, but if we are listing things that are fine and should be considered the standard.. 

[What is the RP hub these days?]

That really depends what it is, and I've spent years learning the hard way that "not perfectly" generally equals distasteful and not anything remotely what is possible to even put up with. so, not even close.

 

It's not like I'm looking for anything out of the mainstream. or at least what used to/should be. decent writing while being open minded, for the most part having a defined system for how most things work while respecting player consent- this requires the players to have the maturity to want the same- which isnt a thing anymore.

 

All the decent RPers gave up and went to play tabletop. well, 1% of them. the rest just gave up or are too busy.

[Ice/ice isn’t a stalker]

A friend recommended ice/ice to me and feels the same as you! I ended up going ice/stone but only because I haven’t played the set on a stalker yet. I hope i didn’t make a bad decision…..

 Ice Ice stalker is the best. it has great survivability due to high CC and damage, decent AOE for a stalker, it slows enemy attack rate and recharges, theres nothing not to like.

[Make Vidiot maps standard.]

Not until it doesn't break the map on areas like perez park.

I've learned to just grit my teeth and bash through when I discover that I'm on a team with a controller/dominator whose knee-jerk reaction to approaching a new spawn is to hit it with an AoE immobilize, leaving half the spawn locked down outside of my best melee AoE. The whole concept of "let the tank/brute pull them in, then lock them down" is foreign to the 'rush through everything as fast as possible' mindset.

When I'm on a Troller or Dom, I tend to only use that right away when the enemy is already grouped up tight, or in a chokepoint like in penny yin's last area with the freakshow ambushes. That allows melee  to just run into the crowd and burn em.

[What are your "ignore" habits and why?]

People who try to push stupid ideas or ways of thinking on others with no right to, pretending to be arbiters of "lore" or RP while pushing an idea that is antithetical to it, Regular jerks, "people" who get enjoyment from bullying, list goes on. if you are a jerk on purpose, you belong on the blocklist. forever.

 

people change so rarely, it's not even a consideration until significant evidence of it exists.

Best joke of the century. it has zero filters which makes it by default a perfect haven for bad stuff. like it or not that is always the result of zero barrier to entry and part time halfhearted moderation at a VERY generous best.
