I mean, it works if you’re able to detach yourself somewhat. I mean it’s a game, and no one said you have to be a VILLAIN villain. I think people forget this cool alignment called “Rogue”. Does wonders for headcannon, well at least for me. I dunno for others, though. without getting too far off topic and weird about, I think vill side is being seen as for some arcs, an introspective look( again, only for those who can’t fully detach themselves) and they don’t like it. CO made me HATE Hero-only thinking/play. It’s cookie cutter and turns boring fast. Preshutdown CoH had more interesting and dynamic splits between hero/villain with more varied depth and intrigue. It’s what I was looking forward to most upon return, I’m a bit sad to see that’s not the case.

Where are you getting this “Players hop over for X” info? Especially that once a month thing. Is that what you do?

So much this. It’s damn annoying.

I don’t think he’a forcing anyone here, it’s just a thought. Same can be applied to people who don’t want to be red. Don’t like it? Great. No one’s gonna force your hand. But please PLEASE stop coming onto these suggestions or ideas to try and shut them down like this. Simply…move on.

Literally everyone forgets this part.

I agree 100% with all of this. I always feel more accomplished on vill side with mishs for these exact reasons.

I have basic intellect, can I end up on the list too? Also I hate all of Blueside’s story so theres that

I want to say as an aside I LOVE your profile pic. Cant wait to see what happens with him in the comics brought to screen 😈😈

Sorry my phone is crap. Well, I believe that A.) you SHOULD be able to separate a game from RL. It’s why I’m able to play Redside. To be more specific, Rogues. I mean, I like to think that, in a real setting, most of my characters would be Rogues, maybe 3 true heroes and 1 true evil for evil’s sake villain. Vigilantes are crap but eh they’d still be a thing too for some of my characters. I also like to think that true altruistic heroics would not be a thing for like I said, most of my characters.

I uh...have a Fire/atomic. I teamed with an elec/atomic and didnt feel like I was doing less damage. In fact I was doing much more than them. Killing two mobs and severly wounding bosses while they cleaned up with the rest of the team. Kinda feels better than everyone else to me

AR isn’t worse than elec? Daaaamn thats bad. Like REALLY bad

It is fun to watch someone be wrongin a paragraph. Hell you just did it. And maybe if you dont know how to build a fire blaster it doesnt, but seriously? Elec EVER doing more damage than fire? This is why I hate non min/maxing advice cause it leads to this BS. let me be clear. You will NEVER. EVER. Do more damage than fire on anything short of water or procced Ice. Thats it. Anyone reading otherwise? That person is lying. Flat out.

To tag on to this and try and help Zem's point, if the aesthetic were the issue, then that would insinuate that people cannot differentiate real life from a game, which I would hope is not the case? So! Being the bad guy cannot be the reason that people don't play redside.

Fully grounded and not attacks. Being sensitive won't help ya here pal. Look, like I said and others have called you out for: you start spewing BS, expect it to come around. And also thanks for the complement! Villains are pretty cool! Rogues are better and vigilantes...eh whatever I guess. But seriously as a PSA to everyone: Rogues are cool. We need more rogues. Plus the tips don't frame you as a buffoon or a rube, like they unfortunately do for the Heroes.

That'd be kinda cool. I play with the philosophy that most of my chars need to be vig/rogue to not only access both zones/all badges, but also because imo, if they were placed in RL and supers were a thing, there would not be very many TRUE Heroes or Villains. Most folks would be rogue, or some vigilantes so..

Heroes are bland, boring, and generally uninspirational. "I think I'll make a ripoff of [X]!" "Yeah! Go for it!" I mean if we're going to make erroneously incorrect generalizations I want in! I can also talk about the fact that blueside produces some of the most star-allergic people I have ever seen in any game ever to add to the generalization.

Nah not really. Blasters do great damage, scraps are mini-tanks who deal great damage, Brutes are tanks who deal good damage...and obviously support is always nice. Sents need identity/more damage but like Wave said earlier, they need to be #4 in top damage ATs. Sents right now literally do not do much for a team, they're not a waste of space, but they don't add much to a team. As an aside I may sound like I hate the AT, I don't. I want one, but I know right now I'd literally be wasting inf IO'ing one when that same $ can go to a [X] AT and produce way more bang for buck.

Mine don't. Which one's do?

What do you mean? It’s just a little mids play and a farmer toon. Or merits. Sometimes I’m lazy 😂 But seriously: one of the things I find funny is whenever I mention this, people think it’s wrong; here’s the thing. It’s not some “secret”. It’s not an impossibility or even remotely hard, it’s LITERALLY 5-10 minutes on Mids or a forum search. That’s it.

Yeah. Or a brute. I’ve got a troller that can solo every enemy group no matter what at +4/8, so I know there’s PLENTY of blasters who can easily do it out there. Sents are alright, though. Just not something I’d even remotely consider over a blaster or well...pretty much anything.

This. Plus whats all this about average blasters? Can any of yall saying that explain what’s average? Also 45% def is dumb easy to get on all builds through a 5 second forum search and maybe a few hours casually of TFs/Farmer builds/Half ass market play to get these builds. I don’t think getting that 45% makes anyone a power gamer (thought I saw that mentioned earlier)

I would recommend posting this on Discord under the Mission Architect sub category. Lot more bite there. The link should be somewhere on this forum I think?

Hahaha...oh wait you’re serious. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAA I did have a regen stalker as my 1st 50 way back preshutdown. Good on stalker, shit on everything else that has to do any main tanking. Im sure you’re on excelsior, where its really the newish server and all the players are just getting their bearings. I know for a fact no one on torch( the yknow...ACTUAL min/max server really) would be saying regen is #1. Guess you dont know what Bio armor is. Try that and get back to me.

I think DP/Ninja is pretty solid now due to the buffs, of course, compared to any instance of fire it’s not gonna be great damage but yeah it’s pretty fun

Now this I uh..agree with. Like um...why are there so many clubs? I guess I get it if you cant go to one in these times due to COVID but still. I do however like the more casual and laid back mini RPSG/VGs. Those are cool! Would love to get more involved with those
