Ruin Mage

It's a much much bigger story than just a "clique" and alienating, Haijinx. But the GMs do not wish it to be aired out in public. Which I will abide by after the forum warning I just received.

I also throw frisbees.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. All I wanted to do was give people advice to take a post with a grain of salt. That there are two sides to a story.

I was going to message you but I can't. Rest in Pieces! Reach out to me @ Pendragon#1992 if you want to continue to discuss things.

Alleyoop

Fifty pages. Holy shit.

As they said, Rebirth or do it by choice. Otherwise, no thanks.

To my knowledge, other servers believe that HC is the devil more or less. Mostly Thunderspy.

Rewrote my namesake's bio.

The Incarnate system is a great boogeyman. Problem: IOs were making the game easier before the Incarnate system. Problem #2: Some power combos absolutely shredded before Incarnates were a thing. Solution: Remove/Nerf IOs (^: Problem #3: The game was already being made easy by its own devs before the Incarnate system showed up. Solution: Flip off Paragon Studios and revert back to Issue 0 and play a way more tedious version of City of Heroes. ez.

And this is also why I keep reiterating to wait for the execution of such thoughts / plans. Lord.

They are pretty up front if you read enough dev messages - and the fact that it's what the truth is. At the end of the day, said or unsaid, this is their server and what they want to deliver is ultimately up to them. I am going to have to disagree on you on taking them to task - when we aren't owed a thing or that they don't need to do diddly squat for / towards us. What I'm trying to say is that your statements may come off as if you're asking for the devs to listen only to the community / primarily. That is a very very bad idea given the state of the Suggestions & Feedback forum & various other threads. There's so much that is / should be filtered from those - as people will disagree with other's ideas. EDIT: What I mean to say is that there's going to be vehement disagreement from my end on what you're asking for. We don't need to be an integral part of every path of development. The Beta / Testing shards and the forums are enough - if the idea is good enough, it will likely make its way through the Pages. Development is likely not easy - going off Piece & Jimmy's replies over the period of these new threads. The community doesn't need a major impact on that or huge insights into how that works. They don't need a massive say in it from the get go. The way things are seem to be just fine - the devs work on what they can, they produce it when they can, and the game continues on.

That's a bad argument - just because it's a cancelled MMO doesn't mean that tweaking the numbers behind power sets and re-looking at mechanics should be avoided. In fact, it might help set out HC from other servers. If you want purity of the game as it was, there is a server or two for that. But HC clearly doesn't want to keep to the same tracks that the live devs were. Which is a-okay - this is their server. Other games that aren't AAA live service games still get balance passes.

All I want is: More power combo options (Where's my Rad Melee and Rad Armor :<) More AVs to select from. I want to bully people with ambushes of Tyrant. More of the maps implemented. The one posted above (The Crossroads/Grand Ceremony map) + the iTrial maps maybe too. MORE MAPS.

You are The Incarnate of Evil. Though you underestimate the power of SPEED.

TBH, I'd be fine with the HC team making their own thing out of the remaining slots down the line. The Incarnate system isn't terrible. The lacking of tough enemies is.

I'd radically overhaul the forums to remove the Suggestions and Feedback section. Shitpost answer aside: I'd overhaul Staff so I could make Staff Fighting / Shield Defense. That's all I want :<

This does not sound pleasant at all - it comes off as if you're asking for the devs to listen solely to the community and no one else. There doesn't need to be an overhaul to the process or anything. Development takes time, and HC is not as behooved to implement everything / anything the community wants. I think they hear us loud and clear on the various ideas the community (in a person to person sense rather than the larger community) has - but implementation may take time. It may take some hours of work and figuring it into what they - the developers & runners of HC - want to do with their servers. At the end of the day, it is their servers. They can and will do what they want with them. Community input can be important, but it is not the end all be all to the Homecoming servers.

Nah, it looks like a Digimon.

The game is easy because it was being made that way by the original devs. However, I still find itrials badge runs to be decently challenging and Master of TF runs to be as well. You can't account for the human factor. Now sure: It'a a superhero game, we need to feel super. Personally? IOs really help with that. Like they really bring a character "online". If they wanted to attack the feeling super, they'd go after set bonuses and IOs in general. But they aren't. They're going after a few outliers and changing them. They've confirmed Titan Weapons (which is so far above and beyond other sets, especially on Scrappers) is getting looked at. They've confirmed Energy Melee (an underperformer/funky melee set due to animation/time/etc) and who knows what else. The thing is that we don't have the numbers, and people want to assume the worst of the worst. It is quite sad honestly. Not only that, but the future pages could have what they ask for - lesser utilized / underperforming sets getting a look over. It's not going to be instantaneous. It also won't be without its time on testing servers. Some people are making grand hypothesized conclusions off the smallest thing. It's not that hard to frown but its certainly hard to not doomsay apparently. I personally believe in waiting for the proper patch notes on the test server each time. I prefer seeing how they execute what they mention here rather than going "oh NO WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE STRONG ANYMORE." and making grand gestures about how HC will die. There's quite a few posts in this thread that amount to a child's tantrum over not getting to get Ice Cream. It's rather silly, and just makes you look like an absolute dingus. Chill. Take a breather. Forum warfare is not a job, yo.

I feel like some people need to learn meditation to relax after reading some posts here. Who knows what this will look like in execution? We don't have the full patch notes yet for Page 6, and any other future Pages. That's what matters - seeing how they execute it first. Development does include tweaking numbers and mechanics, that is a fact.

jesus my dude, take a chill pill.

wowee a patch!!

I feel like some people need to chill in this thread and just vibe that we're getting information/talk. The real thing will be seeing how they execute the stuff mentioned here.

Noted for the future. Certainly aim to do better next time.
