Having to spend money you don't have is different than unlocking something during game play. You can't tell me you don't have time to kill 100 skulls, or get a boomtown badge, ect... during regular game play

Then why are some afraid to play the game for a couple costume unlocks while still having the majority of them insta free 😉

If all costumes were locked but all badges we're free to everyone, would badges be enough for you? It's not just having a grindy thing to do. It's about having something worth working towards. The same as if homecoming was an instant 50 full incarnate without an option to not be: I'm sure many wouldn't like that either. There's a reason why Paragon Chat was never popular like Homecoming. Many players want end game content too, and unlockables we're part of that for many of us.

You have icon for costume making, maybe that would be more fun and to your liking? I'm not wanting everything back to original, just the new stuff to have some unlocks. This isn't an all or nothing like many seem to take it. Like having one new costume price out of hundreds be behind 'hunt 200 skulls and gain the Skull Hunter title to unlock the glowy eyed version of the skull mask' is to much. Having pretty much all costumes locked like DCO is unreasonable and a large reason why I couldn't get into it, but also having every costume price ever going forward free is unreasonable and a large reason why CoH doesn't keep me interested.

I do try and set 4/8 as my goal for characters I build So far for my main (DB/SR) it's been 4/8 everything unless I'm leading a team and they can't keep in stride, I'll turn it down for them. Solo is always 4/8 against any so far. Granted, I spent a ton of time on the build and then getting the needed enhancements. Definitely couldn't do everything 4/8 before all that and had to change depending on the group I faced. I think it depends on your powers too; my PSI Melee/Energy Aura will probably be better at 4/8 then my main.

That's the face I use in response to Karens lol

By that logic though, anything could be offensive though. Don't give them that power. TankYou is yours and you can decide what it is. Personally I don't think it's the least bit offensive to anyone reasonably minded.

How could TankYou be considered rude? I mean, except to maybe Grammer/English teachers.

Self gimping has it's place, but it shouldn't be used for everything in every situation. Demon Souls/Darks Souls wouldn't have made the same impact on gaming if instead of impossing a difficulty, it relied on self gimping.

Turn xp off? Lol

I definitely noticed the need for a self heal haha. I have a energy aura in working on that I think will out perform SR when I'm done with it. If you're willing and able, I could send you my mids build and show you what I'm packing. I think for a pretty good min/max going on, but if I messed some things up I'd love to fix it.

All good haha. It's just my thoughts after making a pretty good min/maxed SR build and unless I use elude or the incarnate bubble, I get hit 8 out of 10 times while I can run any +4/8 content in pve that ive tried so far.

I don't know if I'd say I'm a slave to it, but I do need to have a theme in my head when building a character. They don't need to be typical thenes, but they do need to fit a story i have in my head or I can't enjoy building/playing the character as much as I normally would. I'm weird hahaha

Builds focusing on Def get melted pretty easy since It's really easy to bypass def, plus just being in pvp brings your def stats down too.

I don't see a 'in pvp' option on the vote 😞 [answer= def is crap in pvp] In PvE I think it's fine as is, unless incarnate abilities are used, but that's everything and not just def. I like the idea but I feel like incarnate abilities should maybe offer scaled benifits when not doing incarnate stuff.

Isn't that the point of this topic though... Seeing if other people have dealt with it and what their thoughts are? Replacement's answer can mean something to you, or not. Just because Replacement answered doesn't mean it's being forced on anyone, even if the opinion isn't everyone elses.

Hmm, I don't know. Nudging someone that is afk to a different spot could be slighty amusing. I would call that a pretty harmless prank. Now if you're just doing it nonstop to a person as if your a large fly trying to spit on a turd, then that's anoyyingly childish and you should make better use of your time.

Umm, that person is oblivious lol. Friends are basically people we've judged worth spending time with, and there's also people we judge not worth the time... no judgment zone rofl get over yourself. Sorry I don't have anything worthwhile to add; I didnt even know there was.a rating system until just now : )

Woohoo! One year already?!

I haven't tried soloing TFs yet, but so far as a Dual Blades/SR Scrapper I've soloed everything I've come across at +4/8. The only place I've seen DEF focused builds suck is PvP.

Gotta keep the moss at bay

Me

I'm also a swelter vet, pvp'd a ton there! Pvp in coh can be fun, but it's not as balanced as swtor. Most of the time its popcorn vs popcorn As it stands, what keeps me going is making the best builds I can, doing a couple incarnate things every so often, old school leveling some alts, stuff like that. I would love some new costumes/powers/classes to work towards. These are very touchy subjects for some, but this game needs something more to strive for besides badges if this game will survive its resurgence.

Is this even a possibility in CoH? Would love more colors and thought somehow using hex codes or maybe a color wheel would be awesome.

That's how i see it. Either have some small time inconvenience, or pay for the table and have it anywhere.
