If you’re going to make proc bombs builds and thusly the best DPS in the game/meta builds, yes. Or dominators. Makes life so much easier on doms. And changeling khelds. anything else eh idgaf do what you want

Yeah you dont get to talk shit snark. Sit down immediately. To elaborate, you threw a tantrum because you got moderated wherein you created a whole thread and posts bitching and moaning before coming back, what, 2 months later? Lmao

I fully understand that and thats honestly pretty much what CoH is in a normal context; a healthy tool to deal with life situations, as are games in general. My only issue is when I see stuff like in this thread. I see so many just tearing at a person in the comments, being no better than CoH subreddit, and getting offended over a video game. That is never, and will never to a socially functional adult, be ok.

I think because a lot of people sadly have become overly attached to CoH Thats very sad, but it is the way it is. They, for whatever reason got too attached to the game and made CoH their whole personality, so when a criticism or hey, even a jab, is lobbied, its as if a jab was lobbied at THEM personally. Take a look at how people reacted with the initial shutdown. Yeah it was sad, but eventually if you were normal you moved on with your life and kind of just hoped it'd come back some day in your lifetime if possible, yet some...spiraled, if forum post are to be believed. Then it came back, huzzah! Again, if you were normal, you were happy and enjoyed the game. Maybe gave feedback, sometimes it's passionate. Hey, we've all been there. The abnornal behavior only really appears in situations like this, where because of an over attachment to CoH either out of fear of it disappearing or just sadly having nothing left, they turn feral to opinions and articles. People are dogging Elden Ring Nightreign and dogged First Beserker. You know what I do? Not care and keep playing. Thats what adults do.

I dont think that didnt happen, but I ascribe it not to the game being hard, just...lack of knowledge. And people being too proud to use insp. Yes you cant solo +4×8 on SOs(I don't think?) but you could do some pretty impressive(For SOs and back in the day standards) things with knowledge of how the game works. You started to see this as early as CoV's launch and also in MLTF(back when it was STF) via folks realizing what we know now: Support multiplier makes the game a joke. It's boring, but it's proof that just having knowledge shows this game's true side: a super easy turn your brain off MMO. Even solo, I have a Pyro/Ice/Fire that mows the new group, BWI, the supposedly toughest group in KW(which is supposed to be a bump up in diff from PI) with relative ease. Just using perma dom and insp. No defenses, no tank mage BS, just insp and procs. The only thing I can concede on is IOs did open a level of power for the players, and smart players did what smart players do and gamed it.

It was always this simple. To think CoH was challenging is simply not true. It was simply a lack of knowledge and resources. I know, I was a kid who was leading content in this game.(Started playing at 9, was leading iTrials by 13.) Now today we see it as being "easier" because builds are actually doable now instead of pie in the sky dreams. This game has always been pretty low stakes turn your brain off gameplay. It's an MMO. There never will be and are no challenging MMOs.

Lingering was never not back and still wont be more noticeable with this patch. Bosses will get blitzed regardless of lingering being present, and AVs were unaffected.

Hoah boy, well.. If you condense the servers it doesnt change the cost. I assume they have a set amount of uh...server, I guess. So even if it were 7 or 2, it'd cost the same. Having multiple servers doesn't hurt.

What a mature community you all have here..

Well, as a vet all those "years of content" I already have ran. Mind numbingly amount of times as a kid. To me, better games are out today(better games than CoH were out when it launched too but not nearly as many as gaming just wasnt super big then) on consoles, which are easier to boot up and play with friends than CoH, so I have more distractions from CoH. To the point I find it fascinating someone only plays CoH. Not bad, just fascinating. This is also just again, my opinion. YMMV here. I do love that CoH can run on anything. Thats freaking awesome, truly. And well, I haven't been exactly motivated to log in as much if at all due to the power changes over the course of 5 years. Revamps are fine n all but new sets are what I try and get jazzed about and honestly the new ones we've gotten as a minmaxer are disappointingly mid in my eyes. Alls to say I haven't quit yet, I just don't log in very much. Maybe that'll change with P3. *Also, my entire family(pretty much the only people who I used to play CoH with as a kid and the only people I could convince to play it when it relaunched) quit CoH. Im pretty much the last one barely holding on. All RL friends won't even look at this game and honestly I can't recommend it as I'm again, barely on, so that doesn't help. Eh, if I do leave, there won't be a single announcement. It'll be like CO all over again. Silently dipping and leaving feedback only to the devs will be my route.

I can respect the brevity. I personay wouldn't announce a departure. It pretty much accomplishes nothing at this point and at worst makes you have to deal with more annoyances should you return.

And I will say I think there was some stuff cut for 2 that'll be in 3 on top of scope creep. I'm not even sure they want to fix the problem, just complain about it. The fix requires discipline but is doable. Smaller pages more frequently instead of megaplex sized pages each time but only once a year. Page 3 following their traditional method is probably going to, if they stick to getting two out this year, be launched in October/November. If it's bigger than 2 which I'm hearing in CB it might be, December will be the launch date.

Always putting it more eloquently than I could, Mac. This has been the big issue and there used to be more threads highlighting this point until the cheerleaders shouted them down. Yes, I wont be affected. But thats really besides the point. Until they make +4 ×8 not able to be solo'd, the high end will never be affected, but that guy soloing +1×6? Weell....

So then you're agreeing with me to an extent. I didnt say it exactly like that but thats pretty much what I was getting at hence the statement is a nothing burger to use in an argument. "Feeling super" is akin to how businesses will use action statements or buzz words in their marketing that pretty much mean nothing because of how vague they are. No one can really define it. That was my main disagreement with its' initial use to try and argue the users' point. Also interacting with the game? Lmao are you serious with this shit? Do yall not realize logging in is interacting with the game? What the hell IS it with this community and these meaningless goal post for what is playing vs not playing the game. Shit's downright dumb at this point

This is kind of a nothing burger statement on both sides. My version of feeling super is not being slow as malassis clearing a mission and not playing on +0 anything, but others may be -1×1. And I feel it's only a problem again because most probably even here in this thread dont form their own teams. Literally it'll be a solution seeking a problem to adjust it to be slow again. Simply form your own teams and actually have some guts and tell your team what the deal is. KM, speed, etc... And of course dont join what you don't like to do. I will say I'm not a child anymore. If I'm running anything in CoH in a team exceedingly rarely as it is in the first place I don't want it taking an hr to do, so I prefer speed and damage stacking. This also isn't my only game, and there's a list I want to get to. So if this activity takes longer than expected then thats time missed from something else I'd want to play in that same day. Not to even mention personal IRL things that demand my time. Speed is a lifesaver for even getting me to engage with team content in this game at all.
