I agree, and they should be brought up and discussed.
Too bad it all started with accusations and foul language instead.
without accusations and foul language Tanks would still be outdamaging Scrappers...

Of all the vampires i have seen onscreen Willem Dafoe is just spot on perfect for Snarky in “Shadow of the Vampire”. Not only do I use him as my icon, but the characterization of Schrek was perfect. This was partially due to the script, but Herr Dafoe brought the perfect performance.
In particular the petty nature, short sightedness, and lack of curiosity about what anyone else is doing. Partly, in my mind, due to selfishness. Yet also do to a complete lack of interest in anyone else. All of this describes MY Snarky exactly. He wants what he wants (which may change at any time) and cares not at all about anything else.

Here's the thing. What they said they would look into was just one example.
Another: The 'Help Me' tag color was changed to green and caused some confusion (same color as teammate). There are more examples than some might realize.
I am still (actually honestly) puzzled by the new Black Hole. A Dev said that no minions should be intangible, but i have encountered DE emanators, swarm, and carnie strongmen who all go intangible. And i have only been running 30-34 content with it. Those cannot be the only examples. Working as intended? Not working as advertised. And honestly, really not working…

So I was lying in bed last night and started trying to quantify how much "content" was in the game. So I thought about going to Ouroboros for both sides and add the total together, less the co-op stuff so they aren't double counted. Then add all the TFs and trials and the Signature Story Arcs. But then I remembered we also have repeatable contacts in some zones. And some characters have additional missions that aren't part of an arc or badge so they aren't in Ouro (Maria Jenkins, for example). Then we also have the Star Challenge stuff that takes existing content but adds new NPCs and effects and tricks that makes them significantly different than their base level.
And that doesn't even touch upon base-building, costume creating, build-making, role-playing and all the other player-made content in AE.
So . . . I'm about to go into the game and grab some of those numbers. If you think I'm missing something, please let me know and I'll add it.
265 Hero side Story Arcs + TFs + Trials
188 Villain Arcs + TFs +Trials (excluding those already counted as identical co-op)
68,380 AE missions!!
2 Hamidon Raids
1 Mothership Raid
1 Seed of Hamidon Raid
24 other Zone events (including giant monsters and invasions)
19 repeatable contacts with a varying amount of missions each
5 "unlock" Tip missions
144 Alignment missions
16 Morality Missions
38 zones with exploration tips
15 Special Event contacts
2 Skiing ramps
i started my "solo every mission from every contact red/blue/gold" with my Dark Dark Corruptor (currently 34) on Mar 9. now, i work full time and also do other things. so, in almost 4 months i have completed all contacts and every single mission they offer that must be done 1-29. all blue 30-34, and starting red 30-34. anything 30-50, or 30-39 will be done later.
i have done some teaming, almost every tf/sf/trial that is available based on level (missing a tv2) and random badging and fun stuff on teams.
villains defeated 61,438
damage inflicted 8,301,375
damage taken 1,209,497
tasks completed 1,728
tasks failed 4
3,657 reward merits
40 prismatic aethers
9 mostrous aether
1,098 badges
i know there are some missions i have missed, when a 30-34 contact has 1-2 missions to give only to 30-32. F-ing blueside.... but i have tried to get every single mission, not just story arcs. on "endless" contacts i do enough to turn the status to "kindred", then move on. i believe i have done about 99.9% of available missions, but i know i have done 99%+ of them. it may only be 99.7% though...
I have just started red 30-34, have all 35-39, 30-39, 40-44, 25-50. 30-50 etc, and all 50 content to go. there are almost 200 contacts in my sheet to go. 80%+ offer a large number of missions. some depressingly large. not on my list but probable in the future are pvp zone missions, and the SSD, WWD arcs. there are, if you could meticulously track them all, probably 5-10,000 missions in the game.

Never played WoW either, have no intention of ever installing it. Played Champions and Marvel during beta, didn't spend much more time on them than that. I would love for CoH to get a graphic update but that would require a whole new engine.
Expecting MMO players to read would be like expecting a dog to spot a rainbow.

Well said.
Btw, im not arguing, im expressing what i see and how the leveling progression feels being a returning but realy very inexperienced newcomer.
In my opinion there is no harm in improving the leveling experience/progression and making it feel much smoither, make the acquisition of new powers and taggles feel more exiting instead of problematic due to excessive endurance damands.
I found a lot of good suggestions in this thread and good information on these forums in general.
Mostly, im ammused by a lot of the responses, by how people like to get agressive and arque, how passionate players are about tgeir game, fighting ageist any suggestions of a change and I'm willing to bet 95% of them havent taken 5 minuts to actually think about what the game would feel like to play if these proposed changes actually happened.
Another think that surprises me, is how long this threat has become lol.
I guess i did the right thing stirring things up and creating some side entertainment for a few at least hopefully.
Personally, im only here because im at work and wont be home for another 2 weeks before i get a chance to play and make some slotting adjustments.
So reading what you fine folk have to say is all i get 3 weeks out of the month followed by 7 days of actual play.
I have thought about it. It would suck. But, please, keep tilting at those windmills

Is this some kind of chips versus crisps thing?

here is the beast itself
I have tanked Lord Recluse in Ms Liberty TF Master runs twice with this, successfully. That is due to not neglecting energy resistance.
At least one person has told me they died all the time with this build. I found it incredibly Tanky.
I run all the toggles, all the time.
Darkest Night is the cherry on the dark sundae. Being a AoE Taunt and debuff.
i have had great luck with it. this is not rewritten for any changes to Dark that were just made

From a perspective of a new/returning player.
Endurance is far to much of an issue, it takes away from make enjoyment big time especially in low to mid levels as you aquire your last few powers.
Example Axe with WP secondary.
Both stamina and whatever the name of the WP power power that increases endurance recovery, I have both slotted with SOs all my Axe attacks are slotted with SOs endurance reduces and I still blow through it within 1.5-2 rotations and unable to attack. What ta he'll? How is this enjoyable?, finally you get your top powers only to not be able to use them because the endurance costs are do out of whack?
I'm sure there will be plenty of veterans jumping in here having years of experience unlimited influance all sorts of enhancements sets bonuses telling me how this isn't an issue. Well I'm looking at it from a new/returning players perspective and I can tell you it takes away from the game enjoyment in a big way.
From all the ways a game can be balanced this one is balanced around endurance starvation? Why? Powers have cool down already, on top we need to be endurance starved?
I know not all power sets are as bad as this one, some are much more reasonable , but honestly this needs to be fixed and brought foen to manageable/enjoyable levels in my opinion.
It's a game after all amd fun&enjoyment should be it's #1 focus not frustration.
I like to hear from a log of NEW and ir Returning players mostly here rather them a poop loads of have it vets to share their perspective on the endurance issue.
complaining about Endurance on a Willpower Armor character....
wow.
I am sure dozens of good solutions have been offered in this thread. hundreds? as well as the importance for game balance (in all games) of energy/mana resources.
but to complain about endurance on a Willpower Armor?

It should be noted That /Fire secondary... just adds more damage. more damage than any other Blaster secondary.
Fire/Fire/Fire Blasting is ....

Character was level 40.
Ah. Have you double checked there is a vanguard day job buff active there?
-
Vanguard day job will not award until level 35? I believe. But the bar should progress. Mine did at level 20? Still 34, with a full bar.
But not progressing? That is real odd.

Natural progression….
It almost as if OP is just growing tired of the game and is manufacturing a reason to quit, rather than just stepping away.
i was thinking something similar. it is almost as if the OP is using this as an excuse to destroy the world's economy, and takeover every government using a covert system of deep cover operatives...

Emanators are Pets, and the Swarm are Underlings. But I can see you are willing to die on the hill of "exact statement"
Here is an exact statement. Crap that is LOWER than minions are going intangible. I have found 3 examples in 20? hours play just grinding 30-34 content. You really think these are the ONLY examples? Oh, but you want me to test every mob in the game, give you a detailed list, then you can start lawyering that with excuses.
The old Black Hole was crap. Situationally useful once in hundreds of hours of gaming. The new version of Black Hole is Dumb and Dumber toilet won't flush crap. But you will continue to fawningly defend this stinker. I use this power with a team on Discord. they F-ing hate it. And that is with us being able to discuss what is happening. Imagine the joy of griefing PUGs, intentionally or most probably randomly. Trying to figure out what is happening to what mobs and how to deal with it, in a text communication to people you do not know? Priceless...
