Its the only reason I do a hami raid and even then I miss a good amount on purpose in favor of TFs or iTrials. Hami is to me the objective worse endgame content to ever exist in CoH. Lucky it has 120 merits attached to it( back to back run)

That's a great point! Money spent for the betterment of myself is money well invested, always.

They are but there's quite a bit of vitriol in this thread it seems. It's AE, not the end of the world lol. Folks are trying to insult intelligence over a video game, showing their intrinsic lack thereof. And ironically your post is most likely going to get deleted. I mean, as it should, but still hilarious!

Thermal’s great with Symphany too. Buffs your pet’s natural res, and is a great all rounder for teams. Took mine into a 4* ITF and did great with it. Granted on HM most healy/buffy support sets tend just become buff/heal bots( which sucks and actually makes me very concerned about the implementation of HM as is in general but thats for another thread), but overall the pairing still works great.

Ehh even I've thrown off prices significantly on a few IOs that I really REAALLY wanted in that moment. Didn't seem to last beyond a day thankfully or a few hours but I've done it. In my defense: I wasn't doing it purely out of malice, it was moreso because I wanted it NAOW, so paid extreme buy it now prices due to a RL time crunch.

I...hrm....that WOULD be hilarious to watch. Damn, you got me there.

RPers and PVP are like cats and water, I’d imagine the true purpose of this event would be lost amongst the crowd unfortunately

Tested the new changes on a Symph/Thermal build im thinking of carrying over to live and it seems pretty good! Glad the pet repeats quicker, was very nice for locking down a group

Most of. No wait, ALL of blueside is beyond boring af after my 3rd 50. I wish redside got more love but even then it’s also a bit dull after the 3rd 50. Anyone can get a team for what they want, though, it’s just folks dont lead because of whatever reason I dont care. But this surge in people having the audacity to try and force people how to play? Yeah that needs to stop, and folks need to clamp down on people who try this, HARD. I’m talkin bans, because thats technically harrassment

HELL. NO.

Ultra lacks understanding that there are different people in the game who do different things. Hate to say it but it’s best to pretend their post dont exist, as they’ll usually be nonsense

Converters, even flipping IO’s, doesn’t net as large a return as I’m looking for. Least not as consistently

If I had to guess? It’s just the nature of things. CoH is an old game with not much going on, even though the devs try and add stuff here and there, they’re not a full team backed by [insert studio here]. It takes a good amount of time and folks get bored. Even if they do the journey from 1-50 a good amount of times experiencing new arcs each time, they’d even do it all and get bored. Maybe they take a break, maybe they leave? But thats just my guess. I’ve played CoH since ‘06, and to be honest? While I love the game, I’ve even contemplated as of late walking away. No particular reason other than what I’ve stated above

Plus, remember(for folks worried) it isn't like the name's gone immediately, it's just a "Hey, you haven't logged into X in Y days" thing. Doubt folks will be waiting for a person to disappear AND for their char's name to be available.

Because...and guess what this is the crazy part I know but please hang with me and follow me here: There are different people than you. And...(wait for it. waaaaait for it.....It's gonna be good I promise!) they enjoy different(that means not the same) things than you! So to them, maybe doorsitting is fun? Who knows! Or maybe they'll use that 50 later. I just know that it's not anyone's business to tell them what is and isn't fun. On a less snarky note: If the farmer is okay with it, and the sitter's okay with it, you have no business telling them that's not "fun". No one does. It may seem odd, but at the end of the day it's between them. Responses like these are why I'm a forum grouch, folks are so bored they're now trying to tell others what's fun. The sheer ignorance and audacity is...irritating.

It's not you Troo, it's just my general reaction to everything on these forums 😛

The introduction of sets n whatnot made emp more and more obsolete, not the game being away. That and emp is kind of a boring holy trinity set that’s horribly outshadowed by actually interesting sets. I say this as someone whose first ever defender 50 was an emp back in the days of SO’s being dominant. And as someone with an Emp/Sonic today at 50 with all the bells and whistles. And bad play? The hell is that? Thats the equivalent of that skinner meme. Blame everything under the sun except the fact the set sucks. Unfortunately every emp I ever team with on Everlasting has ignored the buffs in the set(ironically, they HAVE the powers, they literally just ignore them).

Ehhh think I’d get bored. Hell I’m bored now post-50 after a few days( it’s why I keep making new 50s) if everything becomes insta-50, think it would be the push to finally get me to forever uninstall CoH

The only thing I'd agree with about AE farming is that the fire critters giving 3x XP was a bit...concerning. Other than that: I say let em do them. If that's what brings them joy, you'd have to be a complete dick to take it away. And that sorry ass excuse of "MMOs have years of blah blah who gives a damn" isn't a valid reason to take away someone else's joy. If that were the case, the same logic could be applied to the RPers sitting in pocket D all day, but they don't get flack so neither should those sitting in AE. Mind you, I do play other content and only use AE to get new 50s, but I think folks forget this point: others do things differently than you to get joy in CoH, and that's okay!

They're usually overlooked because rewards, sure, but also because most folks story mishs aren't...well...put together well. I've played some on a whim and boy howdy... but that's the nature of player-created (or hell, even DEV created) content. It's hit or miss. I'd love to play more player-made story arcs, but I'm not going to slog through something that's rough to read. That doesn't mean I think ALL player made content is like that, but I'd be lying to myself if I said a lot of it wasn't.

They're more helpful sure, but I'd take this order of support: EA>NA>Therm/Cold>Dark>Rad>TA>Poison>FF FF still offers painfully little outside of more def, and maybe an intelligently used Force Bubble, but that's kind of hoping the player knows how to use it. The other sets in this list at least do more than one thing.

No, not at all! Thats just standard building if I’m understanding you correctly. I did that with all my primary account 50s, and they all eventually had completed builds. I do want to say though, you should be careful with HM content. Thats designed, outside of 1 and maybe 2-star, fully kitted 50s( T3-T4 incarnates alongside this are for 3 and 4 star HM runs) Other than that and maybe Master-Of( and even then, most likely not an issue), you should be fine endgame. Want to know what defeats even hardcore CoH vets: Reading. No seriously, people fail things not because of IO’s and whatnot, but because they don’t read 😛

Can I introduce you to Nature Affinity? It has a heal AND rez in one power

No the hell they didn't. Prices were so stupid expensive you could never get a fully kitted 50 unless you forsook RL completely
