Could you please pin this to the top of the thread so people stop tearing into each other’s throats. This thread reminds me that “CoH is the nicest community ever” is an obvious lie.

It’s pretty fun! Been playing adam warlock, scarlet witch and punisher. Might pick up squirrel girl in a few matches just to see how she plays(basically junkrat is what I’m guessing). I normally avoid these type of games but friends got me into this and boy am I glad they did.

Its post like these that are why I recommend folks only engage with the discord.

You’re absolutely right, it’s a click absorb if I remember correctly, which if you’re thinking an auto mez power is bad, that should theoretically be way worse given the mitigation SR already has. I want to add, I am not advocating it be nerfed or removed. I’m saying in this one instance, I wouldn’t be against that being adapted to any new def sets. SR as is is solid imo on other ATs, so I’m not thinking it exactly needs some of sent’s tools. But I do think those tools in sent SR should appear in other future def sets.( like water armor? 👀)

Thats already been done on sentinel. Not even in the same timeline as the word overpowered, and wouldn’t be on any other AT. Also wouldn’t be done though because it was a PITA to code

It's both, a feel good build isn't doing shit against Omega Kong or Vanguard fight. You'll want a meta build or at least a 4* oriented build to get through it with minimal headache. You'll also want to at least have a good lead and some clear awareness of the fight, even if it literally is kill certain AVs first and move between 4 corners and DPS some adds. Which it is(Aeon and LGTF respectively).

You think the devs can reimburse you? I mean they’re legit seeing it in the account, so why not just refund it? Also I think you’re well n truly cursed. All that PuG complaining brought a curse upon your account 😂

You want the best tank in the game? This is meta for all content including 4* Bio/BA. This is the pick of all top tier tank builders in the game for damage and survival in the hardest content in the game.

I played MonHun, though as a lance main(waiting on wilds. That lance iteration is just *chef’s kiss*) so my hitstop was baked into my guard counter and charge. It really did create a sense of impact even for a weapon not really known for its’ impactful strikes. But what you’re experiencing here is a videogame language barrier. CoH players who main CoH and or never played MonHun can’t really visualize the logic behind hitstop, just as if you only played MonHun and no CoH you would be looking at TW in disgust(I look at it in disgust because it was over nerfed and sucks ass but that’s a whole ‘nother can o’ worms) Of course some just don’t like it and that’s fine too. Even in MonHun some don’t like it. It is what it is. I’d personally need to see a proper animator do the hitstop on TW and have it adjusted for CoH. I do hate the current server lag melee effect of TW, but I’m not sure how titan will look with hitstop without a proper animator imo

5 years huh? Didn’t know September 10, 2024 was five years ago(satisfactory launch date)

Thats a funny way to spell Everlasting 😛 I usually have good experiences with Excelsior. I truly don’t know HOW snarky keeps getting into these situations.

You keep expecting these terrible PUGs so you keep getting these terrible PUGs. If I were in your shoes of consistent terrible Pugs idk how long I could stand it 😂

The only noodle going in my mouth is ramen and yakamein. Now I’m hungry 🙃

Sure pal. I disagreed with you and now its a thumbs down. Like I said, sycophantic and pathetic responses from HC cultist 🤷🏾‍♂️ I’m starting to get very concerned with you all. When you have no credible argument you devolve into…this. Anyway, guy gave an opinion and you didn’t like it. Adults would just disagree with the opinion, but this is the CoH forums. To avoid another demerit for providing commentary on the state of you all, that’s the last response I’ll give you. Publicly. If you want you can DM me with more rabble about whatever it is you want and I’ll promptly ignore and report it.

Ninjitsu and kinda energy aura are pretty easy to set n forget too. I mean, all you have to do with EnA is use Energize preemptively for end management. Ninjitsu is basically SR with some other neat little tools that you can use if you want but don’t have to(Blinding powder and I think Nin gets caltrops?) SR is the most set n forget though

I didn’t see anywhere in their post where they said HC wasn’t getting new stuff. Nothing they posted came across as throwing shade or hostile. The most “offensive” line I could see was possibly HC could make new additions or something along that line. And even then, that’s just their opinion. I didn’t see a single word that said they were dismissive of the additions added. They may not have liked the additions, but I didn’t see anything outright shitting on anything added. I’m thinking a lot of people are reading into something that’s just not there.

Do not build defense on regen. Build for recharge and max HP. For build advice your best bet is the discord. The best builders in the game reside there and can give you the 411 on all things builds

The fact you even got thumbed down shows the sycophantic and pathetic nature of some in the HC community. It’s an opinion, I know people are for some dumb reason scared of those these days but guess what? They’re not going anywhere. I find the content added to be average, story wise. The writing is fine imo, and some of the arcs have been interesting mechanically, but I always walk away just feeling…ok about it all. Decent addition, but nothing that’s “wow!” Worthy. Don’t really care where they focus their resources, though I had my preferences back when I was more attentive to additions. I’m just going to play what I like, if I feel like it, and ignore the rest. Back on topic, I’d love a dev response on the topic of material volunteer efforts(art assets, animation designs, etc).

I wouldn’t call it hopeless but it’s definitely an uphill battle. I wouldn’t recommend an artist join CoH since artist are already usually starved for funds. If there ever could be an actual budget for artist? Sure why not. Though you would be working on ancient modeling programs, so you wouldn’t gain any useful technical knowledge for modern games if that’s your goal. Biggest issue is the budget though I think.

I can't predict what I'll do with CoH in the future, too many variables to account for. Right now I'll occasionally log in, do a mish solo(like I just did a few moments ago), log out and then not play for a few months. That's what works for me right now. I am sure nostalgia and playing with the fam will at least keep me doing the occasional TF here and there for a time though. And the winter event. It's the only one I like. I will tell you though that CoH is not only not the only game I play(it's pretty interesting to see for how many people this is true though), it's not a priority game for me. That probably won't change. I want to stick to modern games to enjoy the advancements in gaming that have and will continue to occur, plus it's easier to boot up the Series S or PS5 than this PC to play games. This makes it preferable during the work week to just game on console.

I wouldn’t call it huge if it’s played by roughly 1% of the playerbase, nor would I call it hard, but thats because I played other games and saw actual difficulty and how it’s done imo right vs artificially. But I get the idea. It serves a niche in the community. But overall the community is as I said, overall in game way better than on the forums and reddit. Discord usually is pretty chill but has its’ slip ups.

I love how the mods do nothing about this being posted but me talking about the forums gets a demerit. Gotta love our GM team. Still a great movie though 😂

Times are indeed tough but no gaming is nowhere near down. Black Myth Wukong is literally one of the fastest selling games this year and that’s just one game. https://globaledge.msu.edu/blog/postamp/57295/the-gaming-industry-sees-a-staggering-surge-in-popularity This article is from last year but this gives an idea of the industry too. Also last year I believe revenue was $66.5 bil, up from 2022(?)’s $60 bil. Gaming’s doing alright. CoH is doing alright too. * $66.5 bil revenue source: https://www.americangaming.org/new/2023-commercial-gaming-revenue-reaches-66-5b-marking-third-straight-year-of-record-revenue/#:~:text=Washington%2C D.C. – U.S. commercial gaming,third-straight record revenue year.

In game is fine. On the forums is…less fine. Discord is pretty chill. But overall it’s ok. One thing that IS weird that’s starting to crop up is this phenomenon where it’s toxicity in the opposite direction. I have seen people be called toxic and elitist for simply posting tested and accurate power numbers and being efficient in the game(speedrunning or otherwise fast clearing content). Never saw that in a gaming community before.

BG3 is not an MMO Path of Exile is not an MMO. As far as CoH pop goes its a consistent 1400 or so. 5 years ago it was a lot more because of nostalgia, once that wore off it’s just the hardcore audience left. If crazy and imo asinine development in powers can’t tank this game, I truly think almost nothing can. It’ll be fine.
