The funny thing is that every single COH server allows you to softcap, even the ones where the easier changes like VET levels giving you emps and threads, don't exist. I'm yet to find even one where softcapping was removed. That tells me something about what what many COH players prefer. They like where COH is as a game. Call it broken or not but folks wouldn't be here playing this decade old game, if they didn't find it fun. You know fun . . . what a game is supposed to be? I think in all these argument threads, that's something that both sides fail to accept: what's fun for you may certainly may not be fun for me. (I'm also guilty as charged in forgetting that sometimes.) People know it's broken and . . . don't care. When they stop having fun, then they'll care. For example you may find teams that are dead quiet and don't say anything fun and relaxing after a long day. I may want banter. Both are fun and equally valid. It's why I always advocate for options to make the game harder for those folks that want that. They can turn them on and lead their own teams, with like minded folks.

Pretty much this. Especially since it's not a problem that happens all the time. Not worth wasting the dev time. Now if the respec failed AND BROKE A CHARACTER so you couldn't log into it ever again, that would be a different story and THEN worthy of the Dev/QA time.

I'd prefer if the GM team tells players to try things they know may then make sure the next attempt at a respec doesn't fail. "Try these steps and see if they work" sounds reasonable enough.

I could live with this.

I pretty much pop pills (insp) to avoid the idiocy of the rage crash., whenever I see it coming. If SS was better without Rage, I'd ALWAYS skip Rage. Also yeah I don't take anything that has a crash. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. The nukes used to be pretty much not taken at all, as per the Paragon Studios live devs. Hence why the crashes were removed from the nukes.

I guess Khalista Wharf comes closest to that same aesthetic . 🙂

Croatoa, Kalista Wharf (even with the bugs lol), all three of the Praetorian zones).

LOL. I think the T9 crash removal would be for all tier 9s, not just Invul. So technically not just an Invul change. 😛

That explanation still comes to the same point though: Not worth if the amount of dev resources we don't have currently. Well they could do it, but I wonder if it's worth all the other things they couldn't do while they are doing it.

That future moonbase that Paragon never got around to, but hopefully HC will one day. 😉

LOL, unfortunately their IT departments are as old-fashioned as many of them are. That works 1 out of 5 times. Which is sad (and scary for serious security risks)

Yep. For example I work in QA in an IT department for a company that deals with law firms. Microsoft has pretty much started to drop IE11 from the roof while setting it on fire. Yet all of these law firms we have as customers only allow their lawyers to use IE11. You can guess the hilarity that has been happening lately with development on our sites and systems, with the above in mind. Never, EVER, EEEEEVVVVAAAR assume that "all the folks should be using this or this by now, it's 2021". You'll be sorely disappointed every time. 😛

No threats. Just saying there will be changes that not everyone agrees with and luckily there are other COH servers to play on. Pretty simple for anyone to understand. YMMV. EDIT: Bah not worth it. /shrug.

Spot on. When I read that I was like "People still take armor T9s? Even with IOs? Why????"

Which is precisely why I find it absurd when folks claim there is better teaming in other games than this. Having played many of the numerous modern mmos (and some ancient ones) they and I DISAGREE.

As notoriety option would be intriguing. I'd use it once in a while just to see which of the set bonuses would be removed from my character randomly from time to time. 🙂

I like this suggestion. Very comic booky. 🙂

Or how about we don't waste anyone's time. At this point we all might as well agree to disagree. The HC devs seems to not want to make any massive game breaking changes. I'm fine with that. If that ever changes I'll take my own advice and go to another server for good. No harm no foul. (I'm sure others will also).

Yet more excellent suggestions.

This what it pretty much boils down to every time this thread comes out. "I don't want to change my playstyle or form my own teams for whatever reason, but I'd sure like to control how everyone else plays" . . .

This is actually a great idea too. Simply porting that over to regular content would add more options to the notoriety system.

Another great suggestion for giving folks OPTIONS versus tearing the entire game down for everyone else. Thanks sir!

Yeah some folks fail to mention that these incarnate powers TURN OFF also. Reading some of the posts on these forums you'd think that Judgement can be used all the way in down in the HOLLOWS if you exempt down. LMAO.

This really is one of the best suggestions amongst all the "difficulty options" threads. Bump from me kind sir/ma'am.

Multiple people who say they want the game harder have also asked for rewards to match. Not sure how many you'll get to agree with you on number 1. just saying. I agree with number 2, and for the record would be fine with number 1.
