The only noodle going in my mouth is ramen and yakamein. Now I’m hungry 🙃

Sure pal. I disagreed with you and now its a thumbs down. Like I said, sycophantic and pathetic responses from HC cultist 🤷🏾‍♂️ I’m starting to get very concerned with you all. When you have no credible argument you devolve into…this. Anyway, guy gave an opinion and you didn’t like it. Adults would just disagree with the opinion, but this is the CoH forums. To avoid another demerit for providing commentary on the state of you all, that’s the last response I’ll give you. Publicly. If you want you can DM me with more rabble about whatever it is you want and I’ll promptly ignore and report it.

Ninjitsu and kinda energy aura are pretty easy to set n forget too. I mean, all you have to do with EnA is use Energize preemptively for end management. Ninjitsu is basically SR with some other neat little tools that you can use if you want but don’t have to(Blinding powder and I think Nin gets caltrops?) SR is the most set n forget though

I didn’t see anywhere in their post where they said HC wasn’t getting new stuff. Nothing they posted came across as throwing shade or hostile. The most “offensive” line I could see was possibly HC could make new additions or something along that line. And even then, that’s just their opinion. I didn’t see a single word that said they were dismissive of the additions added. They may not have liked the additions, but I didn’t see anything outright shitting on anything added. I’m thinking a lot of people are reading into something that’s just not there.

Do not build defense on regen. Build for recharge and max HP. For build advice your best bet is the discord. The best builders in the game reside there and can give you the 411 on all things builds

The fact you even got thumbed down shows the sycophantic and pathetic nature of some in the HC community. It’s an opinion, I know people are for some dumb reason scared of those these days but guess what? They’re not going anywhere. I find the content added to be average, story wise. The writing is fine imo, and some of the arcs have been interesting mechanically, but I always walk away just feeling…ok about it all. Decent addition, but nothing that’s “wow!” Worthy. Don’t really care where they focus their resources, though I had my preferences back when I was more attentive to additions. I’m just going to play what I like, if I feel like it, and ignore the rest. Back on topic, I’d love a dev response on the topic of material volunteer efforts(art assets, animation designs, etc).

I wouldn’t call it hopeless but it’s definitely an uphill battle. I wouldn’t recommend an artist join CoH since artist are already usually starved for funds. If there ever could be an actual budget for artist? Sure why not. Though you would be working on ancient modeling programs, so you wouldn’t gain any useful technical knowledge for modern games if that’s your goal. Biggest issue is the budget though I think.

I can't predict what I'll do with CoH in the future, too many variables to account for. Right now I'll occasionally log in, do a mish solo(like I just did a few moments ago), log out and then not play for a few months. That's what works for me right now. I am sure nostalgia and playing with the fam will at least keep me doing the occasional TF here and there for a time though. And the winter event. It's the only one I like. I will tell you though that CoH is not only not the only game I play(it's pretty interesting to see for how many people this is true though), it's not a priority game for me. That probably won't change. I want to stick to modern games to enjoy the advancements in gaming that have and will continue to occur, plus it's easier to boot up the Series S or PS5 than this PC to play games. This makes it preferable during the work week to just game on console.

I wouldn’t call it huge if it’s played by roughly 1% of the playerbase, nor would I call it hard, but thats because I played other games and saw actual difficulty and how it’s done imo right vs artificially. But I get the idea. It serves a niche in the community. But overall the community is as I said, overall in game way better than on the forums and reddit. Discord usually is pretty chill but has its’ slip ups.

I love how the mods do nothing about this being posted but me talking about the forums gets a demerit. Gotta love our GM team. Still a great movie though 😂

Times are indeed tough but no gaming is nowhere near down. Black Myth Wukong is literally one of the fastest selling games this year and that’s just one game. https://globaledge.msu.edu/blog/postamp/57295/the-gaming-industry-sees-a-staggering-surge-in-popularity This article is from last year but this gives an idea of the industry too. Also last year I believe revenue was $66.5 bil, up from 2022(?)’s $60 bil. Gaming’s doing alright. CoH is doing alright too. * $66.5 bil revenue source: https://www.americangaming.org/new/2023-commercial-gaming-revenue-reaches-66-5b-marking-third-straight-year-of-record-revenue/#:~:text=Washington%2C D.C. – U.S. commercial gaming,third-straight record revenue year.

In game is fine. On the forums is…less fine. Discord is pretty chill. But overall it’s ok. One thing that IS weird that’s starting to crop up is this phenomenon where it’s toxicity in the opposite direction. I have seen people be called toxic and elitist for simply posting tested and accurate power numbers and being efficient in the game(speedrunning or otherwise fast clearing content). Never saw that in a gaming community before.

BG3 is not an MMO Path of Exile is not an MMO. As far as CoH pop goes its a consistent 1400 or so. 5 years ago it was a lot more because of nostalgia, once that wore off it’s just the hardcore audience left. If crazy and imo asinine development in powers can’t tank this game, I truly think almost nothing can. It’ll be fine.

This is the main thing I disagree with. Just because you don’t want, nor should you ever need, as it wasn’t the design philosophy of original CoH devs, AT specific role based gameplay(a Tank for tank role, healers) does not mean you don’t want enemies to do damage. If, outside of HM, you bring a team of all blasters you should still be able to complete the content and have fun with it. If HC moves towards WoW like role enforced gameplay(they probably will adopt some similar) it will not go well I don’t think. *I should say in respect to LGTF this is still possible. Blasters can grab holds and corrs and such have holds. Most everything does really, so in this instance the above isn’t really an issue. Just a word of caution for content going forward

There’s a difference between these 4 hour runs. If you decide to do a KM 4* or what have you and it’s 4 hrs? Awesome! You do you. But if you get a team together in hopes of getting through the TF in a normal amount of time(at most an hr to hr and a half if not on a meta comp) and it takes 4 hrs? Yeah thats a big problem. That’s not playing, that’s suffering 😂 Hence why I don’t do random PuG 4*’s. If ever I decide to lead 4’s again, I’m doing it strictly the “elitist” way. Only with discord and or the SG I’m in. No randoms, ever, for any reason.

How did we go from make a meh T9 into something actually useable to “Seeds is pretty busted huh?” I’m sure Seeds is going to get nerfed to be as bad as MC’s T9. Honestly I say why stop there? Get that nerf bat in full swing. There’s a lot of playable sets that need a nerfin to get to the new tier HC’s aiming for. I’m not being passive aggressive or snarky in this. I’m deadly serious. Get that nerf bat into full swing. I think it’d be funny as hell and I wanna see what it’ll take to break the metaphorical camal’s back that is this community

That doesn’t mean you have to allow anyone who wants to join on your HM 4’s. Thats how you get 4 hr runs. I know this is true because this has happened when I PuG’d a 4*

I get a good laugh out of this. Private discord =/= elite players. May just be a trusted group that knows the content well and speeds it fast. I used to lead PuG 3’s and 4’s, and only recently ran with a discord group. The discord group was objectively better in every human way possible because there was no need to explain and we were all on the same page. To the excluded I’m sure that makes me look elitist. Whatever, it’s not but if just having a group be on the same page and not take an hr and a half to 2 hrs on what should only take 30-45m makes me elitist, then well, I dunno what to tell you. And I’m certain others feel this way as well with their groups.

Exactly this. A lot of people defending using GF when explicitly asked not to by the team lead believe they are entitled to a team. They fuck around, I love it when they find out via a kick. If a GF user joins my team and pulls this braindead shit it's a kick from me.

You don’t know what these words mean by this very post you made. Please stop using them wrong

Not only are you wrong, you typed a whole soliloquy of misinformation. Nowhere in the CoC is AFK farming explicitly pointed out as being against ToS. You and everyone like you should learn to live with. >.> <.< Psst! Come ‘ere…. Different playstyles than yours. Especially if the devs themselves don’t care. This misinformed little rant of yours is not getting anything done, you clearly don’t know what AFK farming is, how it’s done, or even about the CoC. We get it, you don’t like it. We don’t care.

Thesaurus. Use. A. Thesaurus. Why does no one do this? Does the thing scare you? I promise it doesn’t bite. Not finding a name is simply a lack of effort on your part, plain and simple. And a lack of creativity. Use a goddamn thesaurus. PLEASE. *This is a request for all in lieu of the recent name fiasco.

This is 100% not true. Neither of you impact us, you’re just fucking annoying. Both of you. What impacts farming is whatever the devs cook up as an excuse to take a whack at farming, and that whole fiasco with the market which wasn’t necessarily from AFK farming but a literal XP/Inf bug that gave roughly 3x of both I believe? Leading to farmers being overly flush with inf. Not so much an issue nowadays. Flippers still make more faster. Sucks I had to be vulgar but honestly this rodeo keeps rolling into town too often.

That hasn’t been true for at least 2 years. It’s a common misconception spread around the forums. Blasters want +HP and of course all the damage you can get. Some healthy amount of recharge is nice too.

Good players moved over farmed then left. Thats just basic efficiency, which is what good players actually do. But now it’ll be what it always was; a preference, instead of an incentive. If you like low pop servers well there’s indom and reunion for you. And torch.
