    To play devil's advocate: it's far more often people are asking for more and more GIMME GIMME GIMMEs than for people to ask for those gimmes to be taken away.

     

    You haven't spent much time on the forums recently, have you?

     

    There's half a dozen active threads ATM demanding something be taken out/the game made harder and NONE talking about adding freebies.

    Not trying to make anybody suffer my dude. More-so make normal content especially for a solo player a much faster and smoother experience. I even added a suggestion of 10 elite bosses worth of exp/infamy for completing missions that require you to kill enemies.

     

    Bullshit.  Your intro post bluntly demanded taking away the tool that makes the lion's share of builds and characters on this server possible, and then you edited it to add a pittance of compensation for enduring YET ANOTHER slog through bad writing in exchange for killing AE.  The post is right there, don't try to lie to me about its content.

    That's my problem.. I get to a point where everything is such a goddamn slog in normal content while I am excited to get the new power or slots coming up that I just give up and take the path of least resistance. Mainly because it's available. Let's take Classic WoW vs Retail WoW for example.  There are no 50% exp bonuses in Classic from Heirloom sets so I can't equip them if I even wanted to. However, I can't EVER make a toon on retail without using Heirlooms because I just can't take the harder route when the easier one is available. Sometimes forced blockades and restrictions are needed to make a game better.

     

    So the rest of us have to suffer for YOUR lack of impulse control?

     

    The door is that way. -->

     

    Go play something else if you want hardmode.

    Itd be nice if just, some of the powers were shared outright. I havent played khelds in a bit, but dont versions of the melee, ranged and AoE attacks appear in both the human and form change? Why not just let them be used with different stats

     

    For PBs and ranged WS powers yeah, but warshades have no melee attacks outside Dwarf form.

     

    Well, they have a useless melee-ranged hold, but that only counts under Jack Emmert rules.

    Pretty sure they don't have to be inside the circle.  Just completed a banner event and we paid no attention to enemy position.

     

    Also, that Maressa guide that's linked above - it says you have to defeat the banners simultaneously.  That's wrong.  Paragonwiki says if you don't have enough people, you might have to move from one banner to the next as a group.  Also, we did not defeat them simultaneously (just a few minutes ago).

     

    IME, the Banners regen way too fast to take them all down simultaneously unless you have a huge group - which you almost never will.  The guide is full of it.

  6. I hear lots about /Radiation on controllers, but pretty much all of it seems to be about pairing it with Illusion Control.  Played it before, don't really feel like leveling another Ill/Rad. 

     

    But I do like /Rad.  Kinda drawing a blank on a primary to go with it.

     

    So what goes well with /Rad, besides Ill/?  Any shenanigans to be had?  (Shenanigan Control should totally be a thing.)

    I'm not sure the animation for any powerset we have now is quite appropriate for a scythe, though I think Staff Fighting would be closer than Titan Weapons.

     

    You honestly think all that baton-twirling nonsense fits a scythe better than a slow, inevitable reaping sweep?

    Independence Port is a trudge if you are at the far end away from Hospital, any Hazard Zones before the Mini-Hospitals were put in, but I think the all time champs are Firebase Zulu or the Cascade Archipelago. Talk about Frequent Flyer miles racking up.

     

    Nerva Archipelago is even more strung out than IP.

    I thought it would be nifty if same-level IOs could be combined in the management screen.

    You could combine a damage and accuracy, for example, and you'd get one dual-IO with 60% of each (or however that multi stat upscaling thing works)

     

    I have this mental image of a guy at an invention table literally mashing two gadgets together to make one.

    News flash, all MMO auctions houses are based around farmers, farmers provide the items, marketeers sell them, people buy them. If there were no farmers, marketeers would have nothing to sell and what little there was that got onto the market would have its prices skyrocket. It just so happens that in this game farmers and marketeers are one and the same since there's a guide on how to make money right on this very forums.

     

    About time someone pointed out the family of elephants playing cards around the coffee table.  Without farmers, trying to make a decent IO build would be a lost cause, because the supply of goods to make said build from either would exist but cost half the inf cap to buy, or wouldn't exist at all.  Hell, even with the rampant farming on live, good luck getting more than the most dirt-cheap stuff without a farmer toon of your own.

     

    CoX's economy is currently in a better state than I've ever seen ANY game economy, and farmers are a big part of why it stays that way.  Take your nerfs and shove them.

    jfc. You guys take words very seriously. Who cares if someone gives advice you dont like or tells you you are doing it wrong? If you are having fun and doing it wrong to someone else, you are still doing fine by yourself, so their opinion means nothing. Why would you let their words affect your enjoyment of something. Why in fact would you bother bantering back and forth with them at all if they are wasting your time and mental energy?

     

    Just do you.

     

    You do realize there was a 3-page argument upthread refuting this "choose not to be affected" bullshit, right?

    All jokes aside, petless mastermind is a build that can work! You can apply -58% Resistance debuff on your primary target by combining the whips from Demon Summoning and the tar-patch from Dark Miasma (but only -30% to non-primary targets in an AoE, who don't get your whips, only the tar patch). The fact that your own damage will be relatively low should be countered by the fact that your enemies' Resistance will also be relatively low. And the lifesteal in Dark Miasma makes for a really neat vampire concept!

     

     

    This would ALMOST be viable as a support character if resistance debuffs weren't resisted by the very stat they're targeting - which means the more you need that debuff to make up for your weak damage, the less effect it's going to have.  That combined -58% number will only happen versus targets with base 0 resist.

    It's everywhere. Multiple times. I've found three different functions all doing the thing I think is the problem. In three different sections. Each written, it appears, by different people. It's so messy that it's easier for me to first see if these have any influence on the pets by trying to manipulate the AI with purpose made pets than to try and manipulate the pets first with changes to the AI.

    Was this game made by Cryptic or Dilbert's office?
