Uhm no, it's me wanting to play with friends because we have fun together. no offense but your reply comes off as envious and jealous of others being better at the game than you. Why should people who invested more time and effort into their character have to lower themselves to your level to accommodate you? If you don't feel like you're adding anything to a team, leave the team and go find another one. plenty of teams being formed every day. there's at least a dozen people in this thread alone who look like they share your views on how to play. why don't you all team up together and go have fun the way you like? I'll answer for you - because it takes work and it's much easier to PUG it and then feel sorry for yourself and complain on the forums that nerfs are needed. you go play the way you want more power to you and I hope you have a lot of fun. let others play the way they like. No, they shouldn't. If you don't like them, don't use them and team with other people who don't like them. Problem solved.

This needs to be repeated until it sinks in. Well said and I'd upvote a million times if I could. definitely seems like we're on the road to all the same mistakes being made all over again. I guess no one learns. Hopefully the folks here will do better than Paragon did. I'm sure they're up to it.

I'm not angry at all dude. I'm curious where your response is to people crying for nerfs because someone else gains rewards faster or performs better than they do? I guess those people aren't selfish or entitled? just those of us who don't fall in line. And yeah, Regen is another great example. How many people did all those nerfs AND ED drive away from the game back in the day? Had a lot of fun playing my Regen scrapper back in the day until the nerf brigade started crying and look at where the set is now. I've yet to come across a Regen scrapper or stalker here. Look around the forums here for the posts talking about their EM characters they loved before the nerfs and how they all got shelved after. Don't those voices count too? Or should we just worry about numbers on a spreadsheet? and at least for me, I've yet to see a cogent reason for caring about balance at this point. were all this complaining about balance true, all we'd see are people playing TW toons and that's it. TW brutes or tanks are a rarity on the pugs I've been on for the past year, not the rule. The game isn't a commercial venture anymore so there's not much need to worry about people getting bored and moving on so they don't pay for stuff.

LMAO! nice try again, but no you didn't call me out on anything and I'm not bent out of shape over anything. Having fun playing a character is not the same thing as being worried about balance. I liked the animations and flow in EM before the jealous math nerd busy bodies who were overwhelmed with care concern just had to cry nerf nerf nerf! because someone played better than they did, so they screwed it for everyone. The set didn't flow the way I liked anymore. That has jack to do with caring about reward speed. I'll repeat, I could give a crap how fast you or anyone else earn rewards. So long as I'm having fun, you go have fun your way. What you do isn't important to me in the least until whiners out there start crying about nerfs that screw up my fun, then yeah I'm going to voice my opinion. and LMAO like you're the authority on any kind of game design. Far from it. You go right on trying to cancel me though.

LMAO! nice try but no. I said I didn't care about inf or merit or whatever gain being the deciding factor in what makes a character fun for me. but when stuff gets ruined because busy bodies pseudo know it alls want to start dicking with stuff because someone said it does moar dps! on a pylon run or whatever other stupidity, yeah I care.

so I'm a liar now? right. got it. No dude, I'm not a liar. but I get it. some folk just don't like others who disagree with them and feel the overwhelming urge to cancel them.

well yeah, I should care about it because you're looking to tinker with stuff that I think is just fine as it is and like the way it is. you may wind up making it suck for me.

the reward for me is fun, so I could give a hoot who can clear a map faster or earn more inf or whatever faster. I'm enjoying my character and having a good time. that's the only metric to be concerned about. just my 2 cents. trying to homogenize everything makes a game bland.

you're kinda suggesting that DPS is the ONLY metric to be worried about. It isn't. not by a longshot.

Nah no thanks

Can't say this sounds all that interesting. If we get another weapon set, I'd rather it actually you know, used the weapon for all the attacks.

yeah no, that was mostly used for separating PvP and PvE builds. they are different animals. no one I ever teamed with ever had a "solo" and "teaming" build. your soloing build should be your teaming build so you can take care of yourself and in doing that take care of the team. LMAO! so you don't tell people what to do or insult anyone then go right on saying how someone else is "ruining the game for you" and "should just be playing solo". classic! I thought you don't insult anyone? for someone who complains about others not being sociable, you don't seem to have any empathy or understanding of other people like to enjoy the game. Which is it man? Why do they need to accommodate you? why don't YOU stay in YOUR space? don't worry, we get it. the door only swings one way and the holier than thou has spoken. So it's ok for you to screw the other people on the TF by leaving the team short. Doesn't that negatively impact their play? For someone who goes on and on about "building for others" you certainly don't seem to mind screwing them over. yeah building a character that can take care of themselves is helping others. @jubakumbi is spot on about the holier than thou busy bodies here. How about this man, you play your way and let others play their way and everyone has fun that way.

yeah I'm all for more options but would love to see an option to turn all of this stuff off too. visual spam is getting way overboard. has been since powerset customization. most of the time I can't see what's going on in trials because of all the spam. But yeah, bring this back for those who want it.

So you're including yourself in those "trash people" too or is it just the rest of us are the deplorables because we don't build or play how you like? and omg lol wtf is "social build ability'? Dude seriously, get off the high horse. You're not better than anyone or more pius for taking a pool power to port lazy people. People build and play their character they way they want because that's what they want to have fun not you. They don't need some holier than thou doofus telling them to pick pools they don't want for a good "sociable" build. picking recall friend doesn't make you sociable. Treating others the way you want to be treated is being sociable. You do you and let others do them and be nice to each other. That's sociable.

Man I know what I wrote. I didn't say it is ONLY useful to people who don't know any better. Good try though. You want to use it, more power to you. Keep right on going and use it all you want. I'm sure there's folks out there who will thank you for it. It's my opinion that it's a waste. feel free to disagree. for me I'd rather use the pool pick on something that keeps me alive so I don't need anyone else to waste their time to TP and rez me when they could be helping the rest of the team.

Good for you. Did you miss this part of my post?

Man I never said new or inexperienced people shouldn't have fun. you're putting words in my mouth now. I said it's useful for people who don't know any better. Once they know they can free that pool pick up for something else maybe even more useful because they can get ATT from the P2W vendor, the game may be even more enjoyable for them. a little knowledge goes a long way. I don't build characters for you either, so not sure what you're on about there. If you like it, great. Keep taking it. I don't care either way. I don't take it because I find it a waste. if you don't more power to you.

LOL yes, recall friend is a total waste of a pool selection since ATT does the same thing without sacrificing a pool choice. It's useful for inexperienced people who don't know any better or for people trying to resurrect the old taxibots in the Hollows.

Recall is useless now that everyone can have ATT and TT. If you need to move off to rez a player "in safety", you're not helping the rest of the team while dicking around with someone who took a dirt nap. Team can clear the mobs and the dead person can use an awaken or hosp/sg base it.

Right so you're causing inflation just because you can't be bothered for the 30 seconds it takes to post to the AH. Getting more inf to pay for higher prices isn't doing anything but inflation for laziness.

and asking for a way to cut off salvage supply into the market and driving up prices for everyone else because you're ever so slightly inconvenienced isn't self serving trash? Got it.

Would be sweet to have scaled up versions of existing weapons get ported into Titan Weapons. There's already a good selection to choose from in sets like broadsword, katanas, war mace etc.

yeah that's why I said there are a couple of changes to power siphon and such make it better. Not everything needs to be identical IMO. it makes the game bland.

KM is not as bad as people make it out to be. Power Siphon can use some work to make the effect last longer and some of the animations could be cut a hair, beyond that it's fine. I like playing it.

Man don't make click bait titles please. they're super annoying.
