Ghost

Not as difficult to put together as you might think I very stupidly, and very easily put together a 4 person, +4x8 Posi 1 late at night. It was a disaster, but surprisingly no one left. Ended up lowering the difficulty so we could finish it, and promised to never put one together again 🙂

I know that I never said it was a stupid idea What I was/am trying to say is - stop putting so much effort into trying to trick/entice/beg/plead/threaten/trick/convince players into joining redside. (and Im saying it this way to cover EVERYONE who does it, not just you OP) How much fun would you be having on red if everyone put this much effort into organizing what villains there are onto one shard? Or one huge event, on one shard on a regular basis (without an agenda)? Sorry if people think I misunderstood the OPs intent - but going by the sentence "where all the heroes hang up their capes for a vacation and as we get as much of the community as possible to get their Villain ya-yas out" sure as heck sounds to me like another way of saying "where we convince blueside players to come play redside" Instead, redside players have this firm belief that if they could just get everyone else to try it, they would fall in love with it - you know, like how vegans/vegetarians always push their agenda. Meat eaters push theirs. It just does not work. It ends up having the opposite effect, and pushes people even further away to the point of refusing to try - which I think is the case with some people. You aren't being taken to task Shenanigunner - you used the phrase "How about". In other words, you wanted opinions. If you don't, then next time say "Only respond if you agree with me"

Everything doesnt have to be so serious, ALL THE TIME

your point is still bad, and still rude.

Congrats on the accomplishment!!!

I think people need to stop tying to find ways to drag others kicking and screaming to red side. Those that want to play red side, will. No incentive will make someone play it, and stick with it. I tried it for about a month, and just didn’t like the idea behind being a villain. if you enjoy it, play it and be happy the option is available.

I think someone is taking the MCU a little too seriously

I will say that I agree with you about controllers - although I’ve never leveled one past 35, so I’m really not speaking from experience. They do seem to not play much of a role in higher level content. Of course, maybe someone with one can elaborate more. one of my few 50s is a rad/rad defender, and she most definitely contributes on higher level task forces (that’s mostly what I run). In fact, I don’t ever remember being on a TF in which the defender was not appreciated. Either with the buffs/debuffs, and even heals (ooh, the bad word no one likes to talk about). Having an emp will actually make the other players try things that may not normally try.

I’ve participated in two of the “Die and Quit” ITFs - including the first one. No one felt useless, and no one felt overpowered. No one ran off and did there own thing, and no one hung back and simply collected XP/INF. I alluded to it way back on page one, so I’ll just ask it - why change anything in the game, when there are ways to make it more difficult/challenging ? Inspirations can be turned off. Incarnates can be disabled. You can even put together your own blasterless/tankless/brute less/whatever you feel is overpowered AT - so why ask devs to take the time to make changes ? Why not simply get creative ?

Out of curiosity, which ATs do you feel have a sense of uselessness when on a team ?

“Looking for farm” 🙂

I am so very confused It is easy to get powerful. Its equally easy to make what you do difficult (or challenging). Not exactly sure why anything should be changed. Play the way you like, without worrying about what others like, or how they play. I'm probably missing the point. Wont be the first, or last time.

Not sure why you dont have issues with it - but a few problems I've run into, that I posted about earlier

delete

I’ve never tried copy/paste - maybe I should. I usually come up with the background by level 20, after playing the character a bit. Ive had the first sentence start halfway down the page - have no clue why. Actually deleted a character out of frustration over this because I couldn’t fix it. Triple line breaks when I was only trying to start a new sentence. Entire sentences deleted while trying to delete one letter. The ability to actually navigate the “page” drives me crazy - Can’t always move the cursor in the right direction. Ive never understood why the original developers tried to make it more than just a simple notepad.

If the bio system actually worked, I would have one written for all my toons - I’ve already got their backstories in my head, I just hate dealing with the current system.

Probably just need to give up the fight to stop power levelling/farming - its not ever going away (unfortunately IMO)

I’d like to see this power have a downside. If used for ANY reason while on a team with a Tank or Brute, whatever you aggro delivers a one-shot kill. No exceptions. 🙂

I'm curious - why do you say this? Why is it bad to have more players on one server - other than another server dying out Why does it make it worse?

99% of the time I am either joining, or starting a PUG TF. Every so often, they turn into a disaster. Most are very enjoyable. Guess I’m lucky 🙂 or I’m the cause of everyone else’s bad experience 😶😶😢

I gotta ask - did the Stalker advertise that alpha needs to be slotted? maybe they don’t even know what it means

Didn’t even realize it needed reinvigorating. I really need to start paying attention to things.

A thread of nothing but nice things ?!? MODS!!!!! 🙂

No offense, but I find that to be a strange strategy. I don’t farm, and have never power leveled. I wish it wasn’t part of the game, but it is. If people want to do it, that’s their choice - no biggie. I am curious why you would classify them as incompetent. some come out at 50, with no clue how to play. However, some are very good players who for whatever reason may not want to grind out a new toon. Do you also make regular trips into AE to ignore the players standing around and broadcasting in local?

Blaster ? im gonna make a Sentinel and name it SnarkyLovesMe
