Ruin Mage

That's a weird way to try to push for your suggestion being valid, I'm not going to lie.

He's on break, nothing to worry about.

That's not going to work.

You can make a poll via the forums. I forget where the option is. But your concern should be not reposting stuff that isn't yours.

Time probably ran out, but the rested of the Ranged are getting their due holstering. Maybe Page 6.

Bro, its not that hard to not yoink from a thread lmao. Polls do nothing, because in general that's not how this particular team operates. So it'd be one useless poll. Also because its a poll hosted off site, how can it be trusted? Man.

Something about exclusivity being removed:

The Power changes came first, then the rest. All of it is on Beta right now. More Aether rewards (t1-t4) Sentinel Revamp Mastermind reworks/buffs Power changes (Fire, Battle Axe, etc) Stealth change Power Access Changes Illusion Control for Dominators Base Raids & Other PVP niceties Holstered Rifles (Assault, Munitions, Merc Masterminds) Stone Armor/Seismic Blast Proliferation to Sentinel That's Page 5 for you.

Mileage will vary on it. Some people can tolerate it, and others can't.

Nope. I only hide really stupid posts of mine.

You keep making the same mistakes. You're downplaying people being annoyed or angry at you as "Oops I'm sorry that I offended you." rather than "I apologize for my statement." - which you've avoided a proper apology all this time. You've only kept holding your stance that a sexist statement you made (which is only preserved through quotes and screenshots now) isn't sexist. You try to refute that you aren't sexist, but without any good reason for anyone to believe you. Instead of going "I am sorry." in a better way? You've just avoided that entirely and been problematic in PMs to myself and others. Instead of reflecting on the fact several people have made comments on your misogynic analogy, you want to say you did nothing wrong. You want to hold fast that you're in the right here and fuck everyone else. That sort of malicious arrogance is what further infuriates people. You aren't getting it through that you cannot just make a one-sided analogy towards women and not expect to get "Hold up, what the fuck?" reactions. You've even blatantly ignored AA's post - who you could have addressed and cleared the air. Instead you want to die on a hill about how your shit-tastic analogy is apt. It's not that hard to just own up. To just understand that there's a reason why a number of people are not happy with what you said. That's all people want from this - for the realization that you can't just say these things. You cannot - without equal reaction.

To be honest, if it was GMs who deleted the post I will admit I am surprised I didn't get myself cleaned up. However, I want to remain skeptical. Cause as Troo proved, anyone can hide their posts.

Snarky, I appreciate you and your moments, but you might have to forgive me (and others) if we call bullshit on that or don't believe you.

It's valid to compare change in a video game to a woman in a relationship? You somehow see nothing wrong with that? I'm sorry, my guy, but it's become invalid the moment you resort to such weird and out of pocket analogies. Instead of going 'yeah I said something even remotely sexist', you're brushing it off as it just being you? Do you not understand a thing about what has been posted in response to your statement/comparison? Does it not ring any alarm bells that so far no one has come to go 'woah, he meant it like this' or whatever? You've now TRIPLED DOWN. God help any woman who ever steps within a foot of you, because they must be miserable as hell. Admitting to that doesn't help your case whatsoever. This sort of apology isn't how you apologize. It's an apology, but you just don't triple down like this.

It didn't go poof, I thought it got flagged as suspicious. Twitter thought it was a spam bot. Which is hilarious

I say change is inevitable because none of the current servers have thrived or - by inference of how all current servers have gone - will thrive off of sticking to i24 (the earliest form of CoH we can run, given SEGS is a bit different) But otherwise, I agree with you.

You know it.

I get off at a train stop nearby.

Okay, your insistence on being a god forsaken sexist Boomer aside. Change is one thing. It's natural. Just as natural as it is for change to not be liked. However, let me point out that in the topic of City of Heroes? NONE of the servers have remained Change-less. Rebirth has added a new AT and done QOL for several powers/ATs. Thunderspy, god forbid, has done so much to the ATs that its wild. Cake New Dawn has so many new ATs its wild. Homecoming has done the same thing BUT added actual new optional content. They've done the same thing that every other server, barring Cake a little, has done - modified powers, added new powers, tweaked the flow of the game, and added optional additions including new story arcs. If anyone is upset that the game is changing? Well, you have no other choice - no other server sticks to i24 City of Heroes, and none (AFAIK) are ever going to. I get that people can (and should) be skeptical about change, but where in the fuck do you get off making change in a private server comparable to changing in a relationship? Hello? Did you get clobbered on the head by a steel toed boot in your youth? Did someone flick your ear so hard you had a factory reset? Sidenote: I know Snarky is being silly with this thread and I mean nothing of what I say or said towards him. Perhaps he's just a little snarky (hue) due to his suggestion not getting 100% positive reception. Who knows.

Huh??? My brother in Christ, you're making these sexist and weird analogies and using them in comparison to a private server for a dead video game.

You...made a pretty misognystic statement to make a comparison about change. How is that even remotely accurate?

That's...that's not a good thing to say at all.

Congrats you two!

@blue4333 Neat. Thanks, though some of those mentions of trolls are not from people calling disagreers trolls. Still, you're not wrong - disagreement does not equal trolling. To throw out the word troll is perhaps frustration at the same select group of people who can only find something negative to say. Perhaps troll is the wrong word, but the intent remains that they are not a good presence to interact with or otherwise deal with. I will say that the word does get thrown around a lot easier than it should. But on the other hand, with certain posters I could almost believe them to be on the thin line. Almost being the key word. No, you're not a fool for putting people you don't want to engage with on ignore. Anyone can do what they will with their own ignore lists. Using it or not using it does not fall under the purview of being foolish. No one is owed time from anyone else, and ensuring that your experience (in-game or on the forums) is curated to block out people you find detestable in one way or another is a good thing. It is not the purpose of anyone to teach or the purpose of anyone to learn in terms of forum warfare. Man I keep trying to finish up my post and someone keeps coming along with an Arctic Cold Take. Ignoring people as to avoid having to interact with annoying or otherwise troublesome / problematic individuals is not creating an echo chamber. It is one thing to disagree with a person. It is another to see someone latch onto the same dried up words since Page 4 dropped and continue to harp on. I, while I do not use ignore, can understand why someone would after witnessing the forums since then. I can completely understand not wanting to see posts from people whose main post history is full of negativity. Echo Chamber would be curating the experience full of people who only agree with you, and I doubt anyone using ignore is doing that - at least in any significant number to warrant it being a thing.

Yes, they don't spawn till 25. Peregrine might be pulling your leg there a little or leaving out details. Like how he's part of a ToT league. (^:
