Here’s where the issue lies in that though. Let’s say they say yes to +4x8 not being soloable, then people would move to soloing +3x8 with the same speed of 4 if not faster, then y’all would cry for THAT to be nerfed, then 2, then 1. Forcing teaming on everyone which would drive away whatever’s left after the +4 changes

For shame, Ronin 😛 No but seriously, I do like the Labyrinth, and honestly I forgot we were talking about it for a second. But yeah the rest of the game should at least be able to be done at 50 on +1x8. And given this slippery slope I doubt that’ll be the case in a few years(honestly I will eat crow AND donate $100 if this game is even UP in 5-7 years given the trajectory of changes but we’ll see) . I know on these forums I’m not the most liked, really don’t give a fuck to be honest but it is what it is. I never hold my tongue IRL and ESPECIALLY won’t around some internet people. * *Assuming you were hoping for my departure. No need to hope

Much appreciated! I’ll still be around the forums posting here and there, but as far as logging in yeah that’ll be stopping for awhile.

And I always hate this line. The option to have fun against a x8 setting should NOT be to team or play on -1. To me that’s beyond unacceptable and part of why I’m on the way out. It’s getting closer to that bizzaro ass scenario being a reality. Baby steps admittedly, but well, it’ll eventually be a full sprint

Hi diddly ho there fellow Architects! I’m just a small time AE author providing an update, if anyone cared to know, about my the status of my arcs. I have a follow up to The Pariahs: Magus Grey almost done(Literally just need to add one more mish, do a once or twice over for typos, and add in some flavor clues and it’s donezo!) Due to wanting to focus on some exciting new things going on in RL and a good deal of burnout on CoH/direction of development, I’ll be taking a tentative year long sabbatical from CoH and probably not working on any arcs. Could be longer or shorter, but for now that’s the plan! I’ll definitely read reviews of arcs though and keep them in mind for when I do come back. Thanks for playing my arcs thus far, and I never said it before but you all are my favorite section of the forums besides the base builders 🙂 Keep making amazing content!

I actually can definitely get behind this. I don’t want to have to buy a $800+ PC just to play a modernized version of a 20 yr old MMO

Wait so lemme get this straight: Graphical updates, stability increases, and a bunch of other QoL features present in a new engine is “killing the game” But wide sweeping nerfs, reinventing power sets(EM, other changes I’m not allowed to talk about but were in CB.) and a literal modern reimagining of TFs in the form of HM as an attempt to create “modern challenge” is fine? *I’m not even for the change, just found this response funny

Lack of gratitude is an interesting choice of words. What does that look like? Constant praise of the devs? No. Absolutely not. Least not from me. This isn’t 2012 or even 2019 where I cared the most, and was the most grateful. This is 2024. This game can disappear tonight and I wouldn’t give a damn. I think its better with my current mentality where my opinions are unfettered by a sense of unyielding gratitude which will bias my delivery. I give honest feedback now whereas back them I’d give it from the lense of worrying about it disappearing tomorrow

Lmao its not in a good state now. Not like the community would make great changes but to me not like HC is either. Or rather the direction they’re going. And I most CERTAINLY know I’m not alone in that assessment by notable community figures

If they don’t want to based on their trepidations with raid content I’d leave em be. I already played in on CB when it was being developed. It’s fun for me but I get others wanting to avoid it

Everlasting is, besides SoV on excel, pretty consistent with the Mo runs. But yeah, a combination of game changes, RL circumstances, and just general boredom in light of recent more interesting/better games coming out have caused a lot of people to drop CoH either forever or at least for several months/years

I’ll do my own summary: The forums being the forums. They gave you solutions, and what to say. what else did you want? An echo chamber? I don’t even know what the echo chamber would be at that point beyond the solutions provided

This should be bannable offense 😛

Well let’s see: In college, in between classes, and spending time doing college things with friends, I managed to get about 25 50s before graduating from relaunch organically playing anywhere from 2-6 hours semi sporadically(played at least 2-3 hours a day on some weeks minus exams and spur of the moment meet ups) I had a bit of downtime in 2022/2023 so I made a farmer and pumped out a lot of 50s on an alt account. Lots of hours played while I was looking for a new job. Now that I’m switching careers this year, I think I significantly slowed down, maybe only getting 3 50s thus far. Those 3 50s were farmed, so roughly 4-6 hours each?* *I may have made another 50, but for the life of me I can’t remember.

This is really a pretty good option. And I haven’t been clear on my stance; I don’t hate KB. I hate people who prioritize their own fun over others in a team setting even after being politely asked to not do so.

What, ya gonna go to CityAnon and talk about how its all a psi op job to get post banned and how mods are all biased because they’re apart of some CoH elite sphere? 😛 Snark aside, the mods have been pretty chill from what I’ve seen, if anything I think they could be a little heavy handed on some discussions but overall not overtly biased. You keep claiming they are because of an incident I assume you had before with them and its sounding reeeal tinfoil hat-y to say the least

I am both. What about it? I shouldn’t need to explain, but this is the CoH forums so it is what it is, why letting people play the way they want DOES NOT MEAN letting people put their fun above others. Do I, Ghost? Or would you like an in depth explanation 🙂

Normally the answer is no. But for Ultra Alt and people who think like them, the answer is yes sadly. Its why if you find someone trying to put their fun above others, use the boot button!

This thread right now:

The boot button exist for Ultra Alt’s way of thinking. Find one of them on your team? Kick em. Bonus points if its a TF they need. Wanna go thinking your fun is more important? Okay. You’ll learn to stop thinking that way, and VERY quickly when you get booted so often

No it shouldnt Its literally 11 grossly OP discombobulated powers slapped together. and typical ATs only get 9.

This could be something that came straight from my dad’s mouth. You hit the nail on the head.

Well I hate to make you think its only Dark Souls. Hm, I should use other games true. Well how about Destiny. In Destiny the raids are actually very VERY difficult compared to CoH because they require a lot more coordination than the hardest content CoH could literally ever dream of. In particular, Salvation’s Edge. My argument isn’t also so much about the immediate difficulty, it was poorly articulated I give you that. My argument is that a good number of people using “git gud” and “skill issue” especially in a game like this don’t realize that it really actually can’t apply here. There’s so much to do and so little comparison between what you choose to do that how does one even “git gud”? How do I git gud if I’m a RPer and don’t care about HM, as an example. I was actually more arguing FOR the people than against. My usage of Dark souls and soulslike games is to say basically to those who give others a hard time about their perceived superiority in CoH and a “skill issue”, that this game doesn’t have some uber high unobtainable skill ceiling and you aren’t nearly the hot shit you think you are. There’s very little “skill” to me in this game that can’t be learned in a few weeks or months time. And absolutely NO skill that makes you hot shit compared to others. Also 500 DPS isn’t meant to be literal. I can’t believe I have to say that but it is 2024 so… As an aside I personally play solidly in the middle of the spectrum. Skilled enough to make the builds and minmax the goals I want to chase, and form HM 3 ITFs and keep up on 4* runs, but not so uber skilled that I can literally break down the math of each power using arcana time. Or lead hammi raids, I totally have and can lead iTrials but that was back in ye olden virtue days

While I agree with your assessment I just had to pick these two out as I find it hilarious. This is CoH, you smack your head on the keyboard and end up with 500 dps. There is no skill in this game, there is no git gud. That can be said for games with REAL hurdles and challenges, not this weenie hut juniors ass MMO. And even there, I never say it. I dunno, just seems kinda infantile to me to go ‘git gud’ even if the sentiment may be true, instead I offer help. But thats way off course of the topic. OP, none of the suggestions seem like necessary QoL changes imo. It seems you may just not like the game.

Most people don’t really read the forums deeply so it’s more or less you screaming at the clouds and us laughing. Not like you’re doing any harm imo but that’s pretty much what it is
