There is though. And no, it shouldn't be for everyone's experience. Don't tell others how to play. It becomes a really nasty slope to go down. An example? You want less incarnates, someone could want no SO's, period. Everyone should have IO's and if ya don't? You don't get to join groups, at all, for ANY content. That's a bit extreme, but trust me, folks would retaliate in kind, and it wouldn't be pretty for the game overall. If you want old school, I get it, but there exist ways to make it happen already for yourself. If you insist on telling others, then I must get hyperbolic myself: If you play without IO's, delete every toon you have without them. Non IO'ed toons(old school) slow everyone down and are an absolute burden on our already limited support. Harsh, right? By the way that team chemistry you described is holy trinity garbage. Best not to do that here, outside of I guess HM 4, but even then that's a stretch. EDIT: PSA for folks seeing these other folks advertising that barrier is a must, please inform them; all the barrier in the world won't fix sloppy tactics, and sure as HELL won't stop cascading def failure in ITF HM. It won't save you, and you WILL die a considerable amount.

Is this an alt account? Sound likes an alt account post to me 😛 Barrier doesnt invalidate support. Ya get 20 sec of 90+ def. Do you really think that'll save you on HM 4? It doesn't, it really really REALLY REALLY doesn't. I've seen this myself, what you're seeing is probably someone taking it far too seriously and thinking barrier will be their savior because they saw that YT vid of...forget their name, cycling barriers for the secret fight for Aeon. I swear on all my Inf, Barrier Won't. Save. You. Trust me, no one else really feels this way besides you and Astra, and also barrier isn't the problem. Also this suggestion will never happen, so I hate to be the bearer of bad news too

You'd be surprised! Plus, In all the HM ITFs I've been in, there's what? one or if im REALLY lucky, two barriers at most? That's not gonna carry very well. Now what you might be seeing is Aeon. To which yeah it kinda sucks to cycle barriers as the most reliable way, but if you forgo that strategy (which it still is a strategy), you can just stack support, so the issue isn't fixed, just laterally shifted. Which, will then lead to "Nerf X support set!" and can get kinda ugly from there.

Its not. 10 for secret fight+ 20 for 4*

Im thinking Symph may get a bit of a lookover in regards to descriptions and whatnot at a later time. Could be wrong, hope im not( for the descriptions, to me everything else is fine.)

Can I ask what was your team makeup? I did HM2 on my Symph/Therm and funny enough, we had a PB as main tank. Only real deaths were from the final rommy fights, which was a fun doozy. HM 3 however…we did well, but we REALLY got worked over on Rommy in that one. Hell, it’s where I’d say all our deaths came from. Weirdly enough we didnt struggle with the twins which I know folks had issues with

Trollers and doms are VERY different. Trollers will have longer innate duration. Symphany takes time to ramp up, and since you're young, you'll feel the pains even moreso. Give it a lil, then get perma dom and you'll soon see why dom's are freaking nice.

There are days? I just go: Well, my eyes are open. Time to get to work.

You make some very valid and interesting points. In fact, I used to be in the very same predicament waaay back in the day. My best advice if I may? SO's and DO's dropping frequently won't fix the cost associated with keeping them "up to date". It'll cost you way more in the long-run, I'd recommend making use of Training Invention enhancements. They're basically DO's(kinda? I think) and you never have to really re-up them post 25, as they're basically at that point SO's in effectiveness. It'll save you a helluva lot in the long-run, and hopefully smooth over some of those new player/SO pains.

I'd personally like to see some new arcs first. HM is okay and all for those who like it, but I really think arcs are needed. Badly.

Omgomgomg I mean. *Dignified and mature reaction of excitement*

I couldn't have said it better myself.

EM is NOT OP. It LITERALLY only deletes in ST, how, in any situation, is that OP? and that's the main thing for EM, hit hard and fast, but only in ST. Let me set the scene: The current meta, for any who min/max in any capacity AT ALL, is AoE. EM is king of ST.

You’re right. But it ‘s not that I dont understand folks. I’ve interacted with enough people to understand them at least to a good extent. Problem is: I have never interacted with the forum pop, preshutdown or now, this much and to this degree. Now that I have? Yeaahhh

So much this. So much so whenever I recommend this server, I tell others to never visit these forums, ever. Not even for builds. I’ll offer to make builds for them, so they aren’t tempted to see the vitriol of these forums. EDIT: I dont want any folks I recommended to play CoH’s first experiences to be tainted by well, threads like this.

That would be nice wouldn't it? I don't think this is passion though. Passion still allows for civil debate, this is both sides trying to get the other to acquiesce to their BS

Wait holy shit you can SET PEOPLE TO IGNORE PEOPLE ON THE FORUMS?! Dear god how do I do this?!

Or go redside and get invader. That's the objective fastest way to get TFC

Every time. Person A: *States…something economics related or what have you* Person B: Akshuly *Post something as if they work on their respective State University’s economic department* Person C : *Chews popcorn* I mean, but they both understand this is a video game right? Like it’s not real and neither of their opinions matter in the slightest? Person D : Shh this is some good entertainment!

I have actually, first 50 was red. I meant for bluesiders. Whoopsie! I did all of red waaaaaaaaay back in the day when Stalkers were only redside. And I went through Praetoria, which was…ok. EDIT: To be clear, and drive this point home, blueside has the largets players on it, and the contact mishs are TERRIGODAWFUL from 1-50. Thats not good, outside of select arcs

Actually GOOD fucking leveling content would be nice for once. Hell GOOD story arcs beyond what Peice did would be nice too. Want people around? Give em something GOOD to level with instead of what we have now

Thank you for this 😂

This was accurate maybe 3-4 years ago. As someone who actually has a fire farmer, let me tell you those numbers aren't true unless you're multi-boxing 3+ Fire farmers and even then? Yeah still most likely not true. I PL all my newer alts because I wish I would PUG them from 1-50 again after all these years. After my farming from 1-50 is complete, this is what I'm looking at: 86mil and anywhere from 0-3 purples. I'm not raking in 500mil-1bil anymore like I used to, and that took me a week of just farming for an hr a day to get that back then (I can't handle my butt in a chair for 8 hours :P) And most 50's who get PL'ed in AE have an outside funder of sorts. I'd hope you wouldn't PL a 50 unless you could afford it, but then again, different strokes for different folks? The only objective FACT is this regarding AE, everything else is subjective: -Fire farming gave more XP than intended and has been normalized -Emp to RM has been removed, but vet levels can still give Emps for Incarnate abilities That's it. The devs normalized AE fire farming, no other outside takes really needed on "how to fix AE"

That'd probably be HM 1

…I never played on Excelsior for long, so I never saw those LFG post. Also, I mean, the rest of my post indicates I’ll be running more of the content myself, so I do enjoy the content 😄 I completely understand this take though. My run when I organized one had a few downers in it, so I sympathize with you on that. My apologies! Didn’t mean to come off as hostile
