4* itself as a TF is not challenging and only requires, barring the secret fight, that you have a completed build. The extra optional fights are where things get controversial. That's where you get the "only require meta" arguments. I side with it doesn't, but it does, require meta comps. Not because it's hard(none of them are hard, they ARE busy, but difficult? No), but because it is tedious to do so without meta comps. The level of tedium varies per the combo on teams but it is still a higher lvl than just going with the meta. It's meta for a reason, it makes these fights far more palatable. So technically you dont need a meta comp to do secret fights, I've been in a large enough amount of runscof non meta 4*'s to know this, but it is significantly less enjoyable than meta runs imo.

As I'm leveling my last 50, my Elec/Stone brute, I'm really trying to take the more scenic route redside with my brother and dad in our little trio team(Brute, scrap and corr). We've experienced some of the revamps and the worst ones in order were: Arachnos CoT Council Council was more annoyance with the wolves than anything else, but while leveling you really notice the pain points of the former two groups listed. It doesn't feel fun to fight these groups when you're coming up because well, lack of slots n powers and insp space. That was the case before but really is pronounced now.

None of it is. Honestly speaking CoH is beyond boring to watch and I'd feel confident on putting money it'll never gain any traction whatsover on any streaming site in existence currently. Thats because unfortunately CoH is one of those games you really do have to play instead of see which puts it in a weird catch-22 situation.

Ugggh im too lazy to dig through the forums. Someone find the multiple post where the devs acknowledge the band aid that is changeling until kheld rework so the stupid people can shut up, please and thanks.

Or, adding interesting twist that dynamically change a primary in a synergistic way. Too bad we'll never get that.

Yep, was playing it with some friends on Xbox. It's pretty fun and compact. Perfect for when you get off work and just want a quick session with the pals

I mean, im not about to get into IRL over the empirical fact these issues are self inflicted and I dont feel an iota of sympathy for people who could just at any time....say no? I mean they could just delay it until Jan/Feb and it'd be A-okay with me. Delay it until summer for all I care. I've got enough going on IRL that honestly, this game's release schedule outside of these strange white knighting you all have been doing lately, is not an issue for me. I bet you a year's salary I wont. See, I have other games. I have done stints of not playing this game for 6 months at a time, only logging in to really run a mission or two literally last month on a random saturday for about 30m. I used to play CoH for hours up until literally this year. But thanks to these other games and a backlog of 20 games between steam deck, Xbox Series and PS5(and this is before 2026 releases), there is a 100% chance I will not be impaxted should they delay releasing content. They could release nothing at all in 2026 and I wouldn't bat an eye lash. Oh, and I'm going to be getting in Warmane WoTLK WoW server hopefully before this year's end. When I say I wouldn't hold it against in the slightest for delaying, or that I wouldn't be screaming about new content? Buddy, I'm in closed and open beta, and I *still* didnt realize P3 dropped...I think last week. Trust me, I am more than patient for a better more rounded page, assuming I even play it at all that year. Also, I'm in closed beta. Unlike you, I'll literally always know exactly what and when something is coming lol. Even if I forget due to games and IRL. But I will always know. Heck, there's some stuff coming im sure you dont know about right now thats set to be launching prooobably beginning of next year some time without getting specific, if testing goes well currently.

Shhh dont use facts here Mac, remember, ir's personal!!1 But snark aside this is not a job for HC, they dont get paid and, this one is a big one, THERE IS NO FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCE FOR NOT GETTING THESE PAGES OUT BY ANY DEADLINE SET. THEY ARE COMPLETELY FREE TO CHOOSE TO DELAY A PAGE. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN DONE BY LIVE DEVS. I would greatly appreciate if folks here could understand this instead of pretending the world will end if some arbitrary deadline THEY set is not met.

Wonderful! I can finally create an arc I had in mind

Depends really on AT. Non armor ATs should build for 20-30% def then slam procs in powers. Armors build for what the armor does. If it's res, only build for res with minimal def then slam procs. If it's def, lean a little into def. Try and get the def armorset to closevto 40 if possible while you guessed it, slamming procs.

Here's the problem with that last part though: Nobody said they have to release a second page right now. This would work if this were a job and there was a legitimate deadline. Neither of these are true. Working on a power after release is expected ofc. It's the way everything has been handled surrounding attune and the digging the heels in the sand that has left folks disgruntled. If they want to? Perfectly fine, but don't expect or have the audacity to demand people be okay with it and not voice their opinion with "dont like it dont play it". Thats what children do.* *For those who have used that statement in this thread. Thats been the whole issue this entire time. But as an aside you all have got to stop pretending this is a real job and not some afternoon hobby project for the devs. Had me scratching my head when people kept mentioning this Holiday BS when it's not even a real job lmao

I will say, being a good dev is difficult to do. You need to be in tune with your playerbase and have your own passion projects be in alignment with said base since you are, in fact, putting something in a game for said players. Thats hard to do in an MMO because while these games are meant to be for everyone by nature of being an MMO, such a feat is a literal impossibility, making the game almost a paradox by nature. With that said, efforts can and honestly should be made to be less out of touch with the community, and trying to just get affirmations only and ignore people who have provided data in past pages for powersets and this one that don't suit your narrative, is an alarming direction to take.

This has been my experience as well.

I have precious time and we as players are volunteers too. Wravis I feel your frustrations and over the 5? 6? Yrs I've been here and the 5 at least in CB, yeah it does very often feel like they stack it with echo chamber yes men or non minmaxers who cant understand why exactly something doesnt work or folks who dont want to spend all the time in a day crafting sheets only to be ignored for a vision(this has happened years ago multiple times.) So what I do is provide my feedback, ask my question, and then go back to other games that deserve more of my free time or whatever else I have to do. Essentially detach from this pet project, test what you want when you want, and minimize your interactions on beta threads outside of just dropping the feedback and leaving. Oh, NEVER argue with the GMs or the devs, you are literally wasting your precious time. Do as you feel they do with your feedback like you said earlier. But be polite about it

Solo im not going to do because I rarely do +4 solo. I personally like rolling around +2 or 3 because it's fun enough for me. But it's just gaming common sense. It's the same mob, but with stat increase. The exact same tactic you were using before will work, because the mob just got a bump in stats. Only thing that'll change is at +5 onward you might have to drop a lowbie for a 50. But on live, once I'm 50 on this new alt I'll give it a whirl to prove my point. Watch, with just using some basic insp, and hitting barrier, this will be steamrolled on a team in a day. Folks here are acting like the mobs are getting HM powers 🤣 Last Edit: I really want to stress that I am NOT saying this shouldnt occur, the diff increases, I am simply saying it wont change anywhere near as much of things that people think it will. Its the same mobs, same powers, you just might have to use insp this time and not have 3/4th of your team be varying degrees of lowbie.
