Jack Power

14 pages of one (maybe two) topic(s) is kinda hard to overview and I understand there are different views and I do respect this. Just wondering if this isn't something that the difficulty setting doesn't fix? I am by no means a high level player and haven't even tried the hardcore stuff. I did, however, try some PuGs (be proud of me Snarky) where we faced the new Council right after their bump. First contact was a painful wipe with a few comments in team chat about the new power level of the Council. Then we got our act together and had no more issues. No more than any random PuG. I have no idea what difficulty we were at but everything was purple to me. On a personal note, I do find this game to be a bit to easy street sometimes, and while I find the feeling of being 'super' while wading through countless enemies, I find there's something to say about the feeling of achievement when you beat the odds and defeat some enemy you really wasn't supposed to beat. //Jack

My personal issue with CoV is that the whole premiss. I have to date never made a character that would be the least interested in working with/for/in Arachnos. That leads to the entire red side being a stretch for me. I dislike the brokers as well. The condesending attitude others have pointed to is also nothing I think is helping. I'd like to see a more free flowing contact web where it's more transperant what the contact really want you to do. More rougish or more villainous arcs and some ability to pick and choose the way you want to travel. //Jack

You know, I'd love a YouTube video with the old and the new sound played side by side for comparison. There's no other way to browse the different sound effects? //Jack

Can't help it... Whenever I read anything by Snarky I hear it in the voice of Roger from American Dad... //Jack

And not noob. Newbie perhaps. But if you were there in '04 that's not accurate either. My old definition is a noob (n00b) is someone that doesn't want to learn, but a newbie is just a new player. 🙂 //Jack

Find anything here maybe? I like Luxon. //Jack

Is there a new corresponding door i Outbreak? If there is, it's definitely new. //Jack

No one tell Pepsiman. (O.o) ❤️ Guardian Server

I must have missed something somewhere... I thought it was ok to have three accounts but not more. //Jack

Sorry to see this happen to you Snarky (again). Personally I wouldn't run higher level stuff with a random PUG as several others have noted. Now I don't run any high level stuff since I don't want to risk having something that big get ruined by some moron. That said, I almost always PUG since I don't have a steady group to play with. I really enjoy PuGging since I like the randomness of it all. Usually pick up teams work just fine, but sometimes you get a group that doesn't work stellar. I find it kinda charming. //Jack

I'm just now running through the gold part of the game for the first time since forever. While in transit from one mission to the other, I tried to assist a poor PPD officer harassed by a member of the Destroyers. The Destroyer goon had a red threat box as expected, and the PPD officer had a yellow one. I charged the destroyer and promptly defeated him (no AoEs used). I was kind of surprised when the PPD officer attacked me from behind, forcing my hand against him as well. As I'm following the loyalist path I figure this isn't the way it should work, but I'm not really sure on how the yellow threat boxes actually work as in the blue side of the game I only see them on Crey employees, and they deserve a good beating in any circumstance. Is this a bug? Or (probably more likely) me not knowing how stuff really works? //Jack

There's a lot to say about why I love our City, but I think most have already been said. I'd answer a modified question: Why do I still play? Or why did I come back? I came back for nostaglia since I from 2012 to 2019 kept searching for the same sense of home and not really finding it in any other game. When I got back to CoH it felt so familiar and welcoming. This time I brought my two boys with me. And since last weekend we all talked their mom into joining us! This is a woman that thinks Minecraft is difficult :). It was very cool to play the four of us at once around the same table. In the broader view of things I take this as a sign that this game has someting for everyone, and even if you take a break now and then you usually drift back to Paragon City or the Isles or even Praetoria for that matter. //Jack

Why not? To be honest I may have forgotten an 'or' in the paragraph. Thank you for the commentary anyways. //Jack
