Ruin Mage

Why in the fuck would they remove a currency they just added? How does that even remotely make any sense? This is a horrible suggestion on that alone, but to remove reward merits is...just silly.

Don't mind Greycat's post, he's been on the "This is what's next" train despite HC not giving any indication that it is what's next. That being said, neat info! Thanks Kaiser.

Welcome to the Incarnate System.

On what happened? Probably got swamped by moderating in the wake of Page 4 (I wonder why) and Page 5. That and topics ran out or they forgot to pick them back up?

My only take is that simply upping the level cap is likely to take a hefty bit of work. The Level Shifts were Paragon Studio's 'version' of that, but without having to do the task of making stuff for level 51-60 (or higher, etc) - though who knows, maybe its something thats on the dev's table. Personally I'd want the level cap to go up being a BIG part of an Issue. Mobs can only go to 54, so it'd take some work there too.

No thanks. War Witch & Apex team-ups? Sure. War Witch in the Phalanx? Hit the snooze button on that one.

Perhaps this thread might help you, Cedd. Those are fit to the sets, but yeah scaling it to every set is a disaster waiting to happen

Probably better to stop posting ideas if you can't thoroughly explain it or elaborate on it. You're basically blindfolding yourself and throwing darts. Also, the game isn't really set up to allow player choice like that and I'd find it to be a terrible idea.

Oh yeah, the Market would take a sweet little swan dive into Live-levels of hell. Anyone want purple IOs costing 1bil-2bil again?

Game isn't set up to have this sort of thing happen. Croatoa is more known for the Red Caps, Tuatha, Fir Bolg, and Cabal - demons wouldn't make sense. Story wise, the Gold Brickers are on the run after the death of Midas (as per the Aeon SF) Just my 2cents.

I remain opposed to this as I have in other threads. It's just not an idea I can get behind. One reason? The name policy. Level 50s are immune, and if a "free level 50" thing was allowed? Nah.

So anywhere, there I was busy wrestling a crocodile when I saw the love of my life...

While neat, I personally wouldn't want them to break the sliders for regular characters. For mode-based costume powers like Mini-Mode? Whatever.

I can't blame you there, but HC operates more on the idea of sticking to what might fit the game but in their own way. I don't know if we would have gotten Seismic Blast, Electric Affinity (I am getting the name wrong), or the ASF from Paragon Studios. I have my doubts on it at least. Well, no server is going to stick to what Live was. Live was becoming a subscription/money focused F2P game hellhole and let's be real that it was only going to get worse. Hell, things were probably going to get worse in general. I like to believe that what HC is doing is a good vision. A vision that not everyone agrees with, and that's entirely fine.

So there I was, fighting a chimpanzee one on one in hand to hand combat...

So there I was, getting my face ripped off by a pack of wild hyenas...

So anyway, there I was with my pants down...

peak, its a troo thread. you know better...

The only thing you cannot do on these forums is be a bigot (go figure) and harass. Well and you kinda are slapped upside the head for being mean as hell. I wonder why I'm still here.

Enriche tastes rich.

More so just a random comment about population. I have plenty of nihilism elsewhere. Like my love life.

He's not stepping down or walking away. He's on a break. Whoever your third source is has a weird sense of things, but that aside.

It is what it is. HC will be here until it isn't. CoH isn't a popular game, and it never really will be again. Populations come and go for private servers, especially for games nowhere near as big as the Big Ones.

It should be reiterated again that they cannot simply not do a power change just because it affects farming. Any change to any set in the game (barring a couple) will affect the AE. It cannot be unavoided simply because fire farmers exist. I believe the only power sets exempt at this point are the Epic ATs and the new powersets introduced by Homecoming? Secondly, the experience bug? I trust the devs more than I trust random whispering forumites about if it was a bug or not. I'd argue that they could offer a more expensive 3x exp buff in return down the line. My stance, personally, has been that fire farmers aren't the devil but that it needs to not be as rewarding. HOWEVER, that is also a game design issue that even Paragon Studios couldn't tackle. I imagine that the content devs are aware of this and want to eventually find ways to make everything else more rewarding. On another note, this vitriol between people really needs to stop (and this is coming from me) because it's tiresome. Yes, people really dislike certain farming posters and they don't like you either. The conversation about farming has been done to death. People need to chill out on the back and forth because it is the same shit every time at this point. Just agree to disagree, and stop engaging if you can't say anything even remotely respectfully. Getting your rocks off towards being absolute assholes towards people isn't cool, and again the irony is rich coming from me - I've done my fair share of being a giant butt. While the farmers who post here have no reason to believe it? The devs do not want you gone. I can understand how the changes make you feel that way or what-not, but the end goal isn't to 100% neuter farming. Sure, its a little more tedious now but its not dead in the water. If they really wanted to, they would have nuked it entirely. This goes for any part of the game, but I know AE is the red-headed step-child of the game. It always has been because of its "misuse"* from others. Fire farming is a part of the game. If it wasn't in the AE there are still several missions that are farmable. I'm SURE some of us dinosaurs remember the demon mission from Harvey. * = "Misuse" is comparing it to the intent of the design, hence why its in quotes.

Notably, any change done to Fire Armor and Fiery Melee will affect AE. But guess what? This is the same for every powerset thats in AE.
