Wasn't talking about rewards. it's about crying about feeling overpowered doing content that was never designed for that power level. if you don't want to play using incarnates, don't. unslot incarnates, set your TF settings to buffed enemies and whatever other settings you want and go have fun. Let others play how they like.

No more bizarre than crying about feeling overpowered running as an incarnate doing content that wasn't designed for or balanced around them. This is like complaining about being level 50 and getting no challenge from fighting Hellions in Atlas. should be advocating for more level 50+ stuff to do, not nerfing stuff for everyone else because you don't like it.

No thanks. Unslot your incarnate stuff and have others on your team do the same and play to your hearts content. You get to play the way you want and others can play the way they want. win win for everyone. You thought wrong.

No thanks. I like being able to purchase what I want when I want. most all items are part of a much needed inf sink too.

Don't disagree with the sentiment but challenging isn't the word I'd use. More like tedious.

Don't apologize man. What a wonderful thing it is to be able to ask for advice and share builds and play the game we all love so much again. keep those requests coming!

Absolutely worthwhile IMO. No idea why you'd think shield isn't tank friendly. Resistances aren't much of an issue when you aren't getting hit. Have a couple of shield tanks myself. Shield/Broadsword, Shield/Psi Melee are both really fun. Working on Shield/Dark Melee next. My son loves his Shield/SJ tanker. Definitely worthwhile IMO.

No it's people not appreciating what they have and being intolerant of others who don't play the same way they do.

always find it amazing how a community that loves to say how welcoming/tolerant/great it is has some of the most intolerant people ever. lol

No. Not necessary. and farming was always, always part of CoH. If you think it wasn't you never played the game before. What's "playing properly?" lol the LFG channel is for everyone to use to find others to group with.

If you're running the same content like WSTs over and over, you're farming.

How do you know the people asking for farms aren't vets looking for some levels on an alt? you're assuming they're new players fresh to the game.

Totally agreed! The same people here who fancy themselves as tolerant and super woke are among the most ignorant and intolerant people there are in my opinion. Not saying the OP is, just an observation in general.

That's fair. I know I prefer to run trials over farming. More action in them and more of a team sport. farming gets boring after a while and I guess I don't see the reason to farm stuff if all you're ever going to do is run farm maps. That's hella boring.

I like this idea! Before we get anything like that I'd love to see account storage put in so we don't have to rely on the stupid email system. Man once I get a character fully decked out that's when the fun begins for me. Don't know why you think that people just shelve stuff once they finish a build.

This isn't how it works in those games though. You can click on someone in chat and invite them just like here. If you have people complaining about typing stuff out, they're doing it wrong.

Nice thought but it'd have to be a whole lot better than the Nemesis system in CO. The one is CO is very underwhelming and big letdown IMO. I mean really it sucks. You're better off doing this stuff in AE here since you have full control over their look, actions and dialogue.

LOL! You're welcome. Zardoz is an underappreciated masterpiece.

Need to have or nice to have or somewhere in between it doesn't matter. You're advocating for a policy while at the same time saying people will just come up with other names so it's no big deal. Pick one.

So even though you're admitting people just come up with a different name, you still feel like you want a name release policy, even though you're admitting people just come up with something else if a name is take. Either it's a needed thing or it isn't. Pick one.

Then there's no need for a name release policy if everyone can and does come up with a different name.

Going to call BS on this one man. You don't have any idea how many inactives there are with every character slot on every server used, if there's any at all.

Making a big assumption here that people who joined in 2019 used up every character slot on every server name squatting.

No worries man I don't take it as an attack. I'd prefer no one get upset or offended which is why I said its worth the huge undertaking to rework the code to allow for names to work like they do in later Cryptic games. And for those who will complain, yes I know its a huge, huge, huge job to do that. But then no one has to lose out on a name they might like. In this case here where there's a lot of names on dead accounts from when the game was made public in 2019, I don't see the problem releasing them if those accounts were not logged in at all for 2 years or more.
