Congratulations. you did manage to drag the drama of the other thread into this one. To answer your question though, one who enters a PvP zone should be fair game. you are amply warned when you enter the zone, and are given plenty of time to rectify that situation, if rectification was desired. The only time I would consider one player defeating another player harassment would be if the one player was continually, and solely hunting the other player after the other player expressed a desire to be left alone. Also, I am not a fan of PvP. But, I know people that are.

They did. Looks like More Brutes are made and played than Tanks. That's even taking out Fire Brutes.

I'm glad I was able to accomplish something. 🙂

Ah, i see where the issue is. Apparently, you misunderstood my entire post. You misconstrued an example of one person's achievement being another person's Meh, as an attack on your playstyle. You see, I had used an example that you find enjoyable as an achievement and pointed out that I didn't really find it enjoyable. Then gave some examples of what I find enjoyable as achievements, that I've fairly sure that you don't find enjoyable. My main point was about this: and this: Not everyone views "Achievements" or "Accomplishments" the same way. And, there are varying degrees of accomplishments. That is what I was talking about. It really had nothing to do with whether farming is fun or not. Hope that clears it up for you.

Technically, I'm using a wireless connection even when my computer is telling me I'm using an Ethernet connection. That's because, my phone is being used as an internet hot-spot, whether it's plugged into my computer by a USB or not. I will say that, normally, I do get an ever so slightly better connection with the phone plugged in though.

For my AR/Dev Blaster, I've been selling all recipes and non-common salvage. Then buying level 25 basic non-set recipes and what salvage I need to make those enhancements. It's working out so far. Once I get to level 50, I was planning on getting sets. Although, I have already gotten most of the attuned set I wanted for Targeting Drone. All of my other characters are getting bankrolled by my level 50s and getting sets when I can.

I believe we are having a misunderstanding conserning the definition of Critique. A critique is, according to the dictionary... Absolutely none of what I said was a criticism about farming. Definition of Criticism: If you took what I said as a criticism about your playstyle, why is my opinion so important to you? If my opinion doesn't matter to you, then why place so much importance on it and call it a critique? If I were to tell you that I like rainy days, is that criticizing sunny days? Or, is it just stating a preference?

Actually, no. It's not. I never once said that Farming is the absolute worst thing to ever happen to the game, with a list of reasons why. I just said that => I <= find it boring, In that same post I even said, and I quote... Which implies that everyone has a different idea of what is fun and what is not. I'm sure it's good for testing out how a build would feel at 50. I haven't loaded up the test server. so, I can't say for certain. Oh wait. I'm critiquing someone's testing methods... 🙄

It wasn't a critique. It was an opinion. And that's how I take all the playstyle "advice" for the game.

Anyone can float a canoe down a river. Some people will enjoy it more than others. One person's accomplishment is another person's "Meh." I find AFK farming to be boring. I find farming in general to be boring. I have a character that hasn't stepped out of the AE building except to level up. He's currently sitting around level 25, and has been for the last 6 months. I also enjoy playing my AR/Dev Blaster in missions. She's a character that I can't really play on a team because I tend to use tricky means to take out groups. A couple of trip mines and caltrops will do wonders to minions. LTs and Bosses are mostly dead from the Snipe. But, I take my time with her. Which is something a lot of people have issues with. I find satisfaction in the little accomplishments that I achieve while playing missions. I don't care that you can kill a Pylon in the RWZ in less than 2 minutes. That is not something that I am interested in at the moment. I might get there with one of my characters eventually. But not any time soon. In short, you do you, I'll do me.

I have seen Pineapples on a pizza. So, technically, it could be considered a fruit pie. I have also made a pizza for a customer that had lettuce, cucumbers, bean sprouts and tomato slices on it. I would term that one vegan malpractice. But, to each his (or her) own, I guess.

Could try using the Demorecord that CoH has. Just a thought.

Might have been two chicks n a pair of dice...?

That, and it's a chance for Heroes to play different heroes. 😁

Party on, dude!

I wasn't really bothered by the "plight of the Force Fielders" either. My Illusion/Force field Controller tended to support the team by tanking rather than bubbling everyone. I Generally only used the toggle bubble, Repulsion Field, and a lot of Air Superiority...and Force Bolt. Also, Chaos, Mayhem, and Pandemonium. (others call it Phantom Army) Of course, that was all before IOs too.

Back in the day, when Force Field was a young power-set, the power was not AoE. If you wanted to bubble the entire team (excluding yourself or course) you had to target each person on the team and hit them with a bubble (or two). That usually wiped out your Endurance bar. It got even worse once Masterminds were introduced. Then if you wanted all the team members bubbled as well as all six of your minions, you had to hit the bubble buttons thirteen times (twenty-six times for both bubbles). Fortunately, the Devs noticed the plight that FF users were in and made FF's Bubbles AoE.

There is a tricorn pirate hat that is about as close as you can get. I used it on my Archery/Bio armor Sentinel, Robin of Locksley There isn't a feather, though.

Actually, there are...varying degrees pacifism. Not all Pacifists think that way. I am a pacifist. I know that there are times when violence is the only way to resolve an issue. That doesn't mean that I like it. It also doesn't mean that I will not look for the least violent means of resolving the issue. And, it also doesn't mean that I wouldn't feel guilty after executing a violent means or resolution. I'm sure I would.

Back on live, my brother and I made Decoy McCoy and Decoy Hatfield. Both were AR/Dev Blasters and they confused (annoyed) other players by running up to them and asking "Is you a Hatfield or is you a McCoy?" "If'n ya ain't whit me. yer agin me!" They were both dressed up to look as backwoods Hillbilly as possible. Then, there was Decoy Damsel made by a friend of ours. I don't recall what her power-sets were.

I remember when a friend of mine had gotten selected to test a new interface for the Realm Online (many years ago). Whenever she'd say something in chat it came out as "..." So, my brother took it upon himself to "translate" what she said. Hilarity ensued. Oh, wait...um..I was supposed to request a nerf of something, wasn't I? I think my thinker thingy got nerfed.

That brings to mind two things. Snarf, from Thundercats. And, Pinky and the Brain...

I think that a lot of the space will be taken up with player character costumes. the more player characters, the faster it will increase, as Greycat demonstrated.

I am one of those people that isn't cut out to be a villain. I have tried redside on more than one occasion. I just don't like kicking puppies.

Why would I commit to something I didn't like... Well, I suppose I should ask myself that about Dr. Pepper. 🤔 I have several offline (as much as Steam will let you play off line) games that I rotate through when I get bored with one. I was recently playing Xcom 2, but, when my saves somehow got corrupted, I quit in favor of Master of Orion (remake).
