Solarverse

JRanger was nothing more than a low life troll who only lived to belittle and annoy others. Somehow, thanks to Memphis Bill (Thanks a lot @Greycat) the bastard has been immortalized. (At least I think Memphis Bill and Greycat are one and the same...I'll let him confirm or correct me if I am right or wrong.)

Me personally, I think too many sets have been ported already. The sets have lost their uniqueness to the AT's they were originally assigned. However, porting everything seems to be the thing these days, so why not. The unique feeling of sets (outside of Illusions) is pretty much gone anyway, might as well finish it off.

I have said many times that the story as he tells it is unknown to be true or untrue. The only way for him to prove it, is to publicly oust the perpetrators, which he does not want to do. I am sure there are guidelines against doing this anyway, so it would be difficult to do so without breaking rules of Youtube, or Homecoming for that matter. He is not known for being a liar though, so honestly I have no reason to suspect that his story is made up.

Dayum! I love technicality talk!

This thread was not about Drama, it was about saying farewell and making a point that harassment is unacceptable...and since that harassment happened on this server, it was relevant. The only drama between the video and here, happened right here, on this forum.

Was going to say, people like their animations and the way a power looks too, I can see some folks not liking this idea because they will lose out on the animation/FX. I wouldn't be one of them because I never take the power, but I am sure there are people who use it. Otherwise, I love the idea.

He's been around for a bit, hell, I practically watched the kid grow up. I know he started CoH on Live, as a young boy, and kept going until shut down where he continued to try and hold the players together after shut down. When Ship of Heroes was announced, he was big on that and got a lot of love from the Devs of that game, so he stayed simirelevant during shut down because of Ship of Heroes and other content. He played a decently large part in spreading the word that CoH was back and continued to make videos focusing primarily on the Homecoming Server. He seemed to take it hard when the Devs outlawed videos on their server, but he seemed to also take it in stride as he moved on to another server so he could continue to stream. I am not at all familiar with what went down between him and the Devs (he did only mention that it was one or two Devs he had an issue with and seemed to make it clear that he did not hold the Dev team as a hole responsible for whatever drama went on there) and this video was the first I had heard of that. All things considered, he has always been super hyped up and nerdy about CoH and for the most part lived up to his name as a Positive Gamer. That kind of boils down his history as best I remember it.

Okay, I was under the impression that the Devs had plans on making pretty much all Immobs have a -Knock Back, to allow for Knock Down in place of KB when used. I'm not sure where I read it but I could have sworn that I read the Devs were lining up the other control sets to get that same update/mechanic.

I can get on board with that.

No, just going off the man's word.

You forgot harassed him for 6 months+ while threatening him, gathering information on where he lives and then posting it online for all to see, literally putting his life in danger.

I freak the f**k out and post the forums about it!

Oh I agree...but no matter what somebody does, they don't deserve to have their real life home address plastered on the internet. The response to his antics was pretty extreme, assuming it's true that is.

If that is what had happened, I don't recall him saying that in the video.

I don't think he crashed anything, I am fairly certain he formed his own Raid, had no idea that it was during a schedule that somebody else usually forms a raid at, and he beat them to it and it upset them. Now that is according to him and based on what he said. People saying he crashed a Raid is kind of silly to me, since nobody has the monopoly on a Hammi raid, at least nobody should.

To be honest, dude...I don't look unless I am given a reason to look. But again, it is what it is. We live in a peachy world full of peachy people playing a peachy game.

It is what it is, man. What can I fricken do about it? Not a damn thing...so it is what it is, my man.

As said before, there are tell tale signs when somebody has literally done nothing but PL to 50. They will have certain badges that give them credit for being in AE, they will literally have no other badges other than that because they have literally done nothing else but that. Combine that with the fact they have no clue how to get to Steel Canyon, it paints a pretty easy picture to see. I'm sorry, but I just can't excuse that as something other than what it is.

And you may be right. I mean, we each see the world from our own perspectives.

That is not my point though, man. Also, I don't assume that. My point is, is that there most certainly are new players who are being power leveled to 50...nobody seems to want to admit that though, they use these examples and think that it excuses any and all cases of PLed 50s.

Most people who are annoyed by sounds would probably just prefer that all sounds fade. So if this rings true, would it not be easier to just put that option in the Sound Menu to turn on or off all toggles to either fade or not fade sounds? It would be a lot less work on the Devs and all the sounds in game could return to normal. I think the same should be done for sounds that stack on multiple targets as well. There are those of us who are pretty butt hurt about losing the stacking sounds that have been lost over the years, would be nice to have an option for this as well.

Yeah, had no idea of the drama going on there. I don't mess with that website much. It came across on my Youtube feed, watched it and posted it. I most certainly did not expect this thread to blow up the way it did. I figured a few people would chime in and say a few words like, "Harassment of that level is bad, fair well PG" but didn't expect things to get carried away the way they have. In my opinion, this thread has gotten way out of hand. Kind of glad @GM Widower showed up to clean this thing up. It was needed.

To be honest, I was unaware of any other facts other than simply the video, which I did provide. It would seem most of you know more about what is going on than I did.

In all fairness, he did say that a lot of what happened was on him, I think his main issue is how people reacted to the things he has done...knowingly or unknowingly. And I agree with him. He's not perfect...nobody is. I don't think he believes otherwise. He did admit fault to his own mistakes and even understands that his logic may be flawed on some things. But that is not what it was all about. It was about how others behaved in response to the things he has done. I mean, when players are trying to find out where you live and post that information online for others to see, that puts your life at unnecessary risk. That is the kind of behavior that literally gets people killed. This is why I posted this, because people who behave in this way need to be held accountable.

Because I thought maybe...just maybe, people might be understanding and wish the guy the best, while agreeing that harassment of that level (considering if it is true) is never acceptable behavior. Clearly I was wrong.
