Rep, while I know it isn't going away, never really held up with me. No offense to anyone in particular but I've gotten to a point where I know what works and doesn't work for me in CoH. As such, I am less(well, not influenced at all actually) by anyone with a high rep count. I honestly thought people just got that because they post on the forums a lot. I've seen some erroneously misinformed post from folks with high reps on a regular basis, so that may have molded me into the way I am now. I'm sure people will be validated, as they always should have, solely by their post on subject matters. While you may know a lot about X, you could be spewing ignorant crap about Y. High reps were, imo, very misleading for new players.

I remember my first page o' 50's. Grats to you! It's a good feeling.

But like...it's the SAME chapter over and over and.... I get teaming can be rough, but at this point I've never even experienced HALF of what you have. I'm interested, what times to do you get on? And why is this happening so often? Doesn't seem natural, if ya ask me.

Depending on the perspective. I mean, while yeah this is nice to do, it's a cultural dissonance thing possibly? I wouldn't assume everyone shares the same view of "polite", Snarky. Remember, different strokes for different folks.

In a sense, you're right on that. However, looking at most of the mishs, a lot scream "Speed me". That is to say a lot of them are just defeat boss X or grab glowie Y. Now, I'm not saying that's the only way, just...I wouldn't be surprised if it's sped. I wouldn't waste my time killing all unless I was in a particularly good mood, given that it really is just smack up a buncha crey for an hr. I mean, could be Citadel or Synapse, but still. Or, being honest, I don't waste time with these TFs when Invader is so much faster/better to get. Teams can be...interesting on Excel.

Straight from Mids to Live for me. I don't care if it's exactly tick for tack on the numbers side, just so long as it's in the general ball park of what I'm looking for(Def/Res, Recharge, Damage.) then I could care less about the specifics. It's a waste of time anyway, outside of HM 3/4. I'll playtest it through TFs/teams, or solo a radio mish to see it in action.

Seconded(I am aware others beat me to it but…uh…shuddup :P) Especially given these…*shudders* spammers. Cant even stand the stuff in a can.

Beam is good for sents, but everyone gets -regen on dis. Fenders get better -regen values(if it’s affected by mods, don’t recall), but sents do get a nifty chain aoe thing

The issue is this isn’t true at all anymore, in HC. I didn’t get to play for 6 months, came back. In two weeks with NO market manipulation got 2bil. Takes 2 wks(of 1hr-4 at most gameplay), no market needed. The idea of haves and have nots is objectively not a thing in CoH. Simply play the game and do TFs and you’ll be a have.

I love it for a number of toons. Playing around with it I’ve created a number of visually satisfying fireballs

My deepest condolences. Normally I don’t care for you capes, but she sounds like a wonderful soul gone all too soon. May she fly forever in peace ❤️

This. It's less well...angry than my post, but this 😛

I wouldnt even look at a vanilla server. I think a lot of people get wrapped in nostalgia, and as such misremeber the grind and overpriced shit that was the AH as “Good old days”. Also, there IS NO POWERCREEP IN A PVE GAME. Let me say that one more time: THERE. IS. NO. POWERCREEP. IN. A. PVE. GAME! wish that BS would die in a fire, but to continue on, I enjoy the SG im in on Excel so im staying with HC for now. Plus, I don’t always have time to waste on CoH grind, so HC is nice to have for a more streamlined experience. At least for me.

Honestly though, what makes me do the Jonah laugh at this is: There are people doing lots for their volunteer projects, yet it comes off to me almost like there’s a creepy sycophantic devotion to these devs from folks here because “they gave us our game back(they didnt. That was Score or whatever, and THEY didnt want to but it got leaked, so…). Look, there’s liking the game and that’s awesome! But saying, “they do it for free” and expecting folks to not vent their frustrations, then when a dissenting opinion is given, being lambasted and given this “they do it for free” excuse( to those being mature about it) is laughable. Hence why people well…laughed. Also! They are not glass, they will not break bc some people on the internet said a mean word. They don’t need a cult at their beck ‘n call. Not saying everyone who likes them is apart of said cult, that’s directed to the fervent defender-types(and im not talkin the AT :P) Edit: I appreciate the good but I do not give a pass on the bad. I, well I at least attempt to, give my blunt yet inpersonal view on changes proposed and will do so. “Do this for free” be damned.

There’s been so many explanations no one wants to waste their time giving another when the search bar exist. I’ll give ya a place to start though: Page 5 Focused Feedback threads. That should give you an idea why folks laugh at the idea of “best and genuine” community.

I woulda just sent a picture of grass or the outdoors and told them your prescription is out go refill it.

That it is! Won a PvP match actually using it once 😛 It is bugged though, and will periodically just end prematurely, hopefully this gets patched soon

No touchy/ruiny of redside. Keep your blueside to yourselves :P. But honestly, redside ATs are the ONLY cool sounding ATs in CoH. Please don't make them generic and bland on the nose crap like most of blueside

Oh I agree. But the issue being more hoarse to water imo. We’ve got em at the lake but the bugger won’t drink. Outside of spending a lot of time for ultimately no gain(considering this is a no consequence activity really) I Just get through the content ASAP. I don’t like it, but given the playerbase is semi in flux, with skill level also being in flux, to keep myself from getting irritated, I just…stopped trying with em.

This is how I know people are just coming up with crap to whine about. What next? Natural should mean only temp powers?

Much appreciate the clarity. I mean, I still am right, but now I gotta explain it from a different angle to explain to you why. If it's not in their playstyle(hang with me here I agree why wouldn't they use their tools but...well just hang with me.) They won't use it. Period. Playstyle IS NOT JUST POWER SELECTION. I didn't think I'd need to specify that but I guess I do. Anyway! Yeah, people's playstyle really boils down to a bit of nuance that for the sake of time is summed up to be the ACTUAL powers you use consistently in any given combat situation. Think of playstyle like a macro, a set of instructions you follow in any given situation (mostly). May not always be good, or I guess what you think of good. It's not that they're forgetting to use it, they just...don't have it built into their playstyle(see the def of playstyle I used, yours may vary but not to be rude I don't really care.)

I tend to err on the side of not giving unsolicited advice. The folks who do are among the worst players in all of CoH. There is a low floor but high ceiling to CoH, and honestly? Part of being at that ceiling is understanding that you DON’T have all the answers and you sure as hell aren’t good enough to fully optimize someone else’s toon because of this thing called: Different Playstyles. Because of the fact that each of us has a unique style, it’s true mastery to assume unless asked that whatever they have is suited to their particular playstlye. And unless asked, they don’t want anyone’s advice.

FBZ is the pentultimate def of PITA, besides synapse and Citadel 😛

I almost never agree with UA. But sadly, this time I break that rule. Unfortunately, this is technically true. Good thing is though I HIGHLY doubt people like UA have the INF to corner a market niche of any major significance, so this type of practice doesn't lead to long-term hyper inflation like preshutdown days. Now if I ever see prices like 20m for [insert ATIO here] persist for more than a few hours, I'll be a bit scared about where the AH is going. But yeah, it's just basic business to sell at a maximum price for minimum cost. May not be a liked principle, but it's still true. Good thing is in CoH, you can be filthy rich in mere hours of inconsistent play. I'm literal proof of this. Well, 2019 me was. I've been coasting for years >.> <.<
