Sins of the Devs are visited upon the players
Bill Z Bubba replied to The_Warpact's topic in General Discussion
It's a Super Simulator. It's an MMORPG. It's a Single Player Super Game. There are actual farm simulators out there. AE isn't that. There's no driving tractors or harvesters or herding cows. There's nothing different in AE and the non-AE game. It's all just killing (or arresting if you're a pansy) enemies. Everything else is window dressing. -
Supergroups: What are the benefits?

... so many TMI and bannable comments I could make ... -

Hell yea. Been planned for ages. Only 25 years to go! -

All of my characters are in a single SG that was only shared with my RL brother, but he no longer plays. We're coalitioned with the dual-SG I hang out with. Our coalition mom even redid my personal base (a standard magic 4 walls a floor and a roof thing) to turn it into a Hellscape. It's a situation that has worked out quite well for me. -
Prismatic Aether and locked costume items
Bill Z Bubba replied to Zhym's topic in General Discussion
Yup. It's good to be rich. It's even better not to give a single flying fark about the aethers or the costumes you get with 'em. I think it sucks complete taint that these devs added yet another gorram currency to the game. It was a stupid decision. -

Been doin that for ages. Accolades and soloing the TFs for them is much easier when you're 50, fully IOed out and exemplared down. -

RNG is gonna RNG. I've gotten exactly zero... but I'm not playing CoH either. Guess I could take a break from killin zombies and run 10 DA repeatables... see what's what. -

No, Tidge, that's what work-hours are for! -
My dark tank got out-survived by an ice tank during a test we did with immortality lines amongst aggro cap's worth of Cimerorans. It was eye-opening since I have long held ice armor to be the absolute worse armor. And I built that dark tank for nothing but tanking.
-
Nor mine. The fury generation is taken care of with my attack chain. The +regen/recovery is dealt with through proper slotting. Compared to the scrapper/tank ATIOs, the brute's are downright complete crap. And, yes, I bounce between 2 and 3 stacks of the tank ATIO +damres thanks to my attack chains as well. That just makes it worse.
-
Ok, gotcha. I missed the Agility Alpha mention. Side note: doesn't look like Mids picks up the enhanced buff from Agility for DDR even though MRA defense all spikes by nearly 5%.
-
Scrapper for me. Bio/Claws tank would also be pretty damn fun, I think.
-
I just want to know the current numbers laid out exactly as they were in the first round.
-
How? ED capped, my Shield tank stops at 87.81% DDR wtih doublstacked AD.
-
Spreadsheet says I have 8 brutes. BZB brute is fun on teams (claws/sr, of course.) Static Zing is my MA/Elec and I enjoy her whenever I play her. The other 6 will probably never be finished.

Cuz I love numerical purity. I only mention melee ATs cuz that's the hot topic. In my world. every AT and powerset combo could achieve the same xp/hr rate. while solo. -

And your opinion on the topic is irrelevant to me. Balance should be achieved for balance's sake. Otherwise, it's City of Tanks as it is now. -

So kill side switching and find out. I expect redside participation to increase. -
It's the internet. The /sarcasmoff tag will never cease to be important.

People's happiness is irrelevant to numerical balance. In other words... fuck 'em. -

Bill Z Bubba replied to The_Warpact's topic in General Discussion
That's such a false statement. There absolutely could be xp/time balance created with nothing more than AT mod corrections amongst the 4 melee ATs. -
It's not negligible when you're built for 53.75% defense to MRA.

Side-switching created a ridiculous AT balance situation. It was one of the worst decisions the CoH developers made. Separated, there was no issue at all. -
NCsoft forcing the money grab mentality was not the fault of Cryptic Studios. NCSoft killing the game was not the fault of Cryptic Studios. The game code being hidden for over half a decade was not the fault of Cryptic Studios.
