Shin Magmus Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 You have failed me for the last time: Empathy spammers. Seriously though, how is a buff set that bad/outclassed so popular on Defenders when it's so much less (understandably) played across the other 3 ATs with access to the buff sets? Meanwhile sets that can easily scratch that Empathy itch like Thermal (my Therm easily has a gapless heal-chain of Warmth+Cauterize) and which also provide actual debuffs and some sort of worthwhile kill-time-reduction to the team languish in obscurity? Empathy's lead is worse than Fiery Aura's on Brutes because those farmers don't actually do regular content: the mass Healers do. It's not hyperbole to say that they'd bring more to most teams with any set other than Force Field or TA. Actually no, TA would indeed bring more to Incarnated God teams than Empathy does. 1 1 1 I think that treating everyone fairly is great, and that discrimination is badwrong!

It's not hyperbole to say that they'd bring more to most teams with any set other than Force Field or TA. Actually no, TA would indeed bring more to Incarnated God teams than Empathy does. Most of the Empathy Defenders were created in April through June by people who only played WoW and WoW clone MMOGs. They wanted to play a "healer" because that's what they always play in WoW and/or a WoW clone MMOG, saw Empathy and went, "Oooooooooh, healer! I'll play that." They made the Empathy Defender, took only their default attack, got power leveled to level 50, and took the full Medicine pool "because that's what healers do." Then they went through all of the Incarnate trials, went "That's it?" and quit. Seriously. I couldn't move through Atlas Park without bumping into an Empathy Defender every ten feet back then, and most of them never took any of their secondary beyond their default attack. Then there was all the "Looking for a healer!" spam in LFG by other people who only played WoW and/or a WoW clone MMOG before. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because thematically it matches what a lot of people want to play. Same reason we'd have a ton of flying fire blasters even if the set wasn't good. Or SS and WP are the #2 sets for brute if you don't count farming. And for anyone not power leveling, it's pretty decent for quite some time and is great in 2 person teams. It only sucks in 8 man teams/raids. The real problem with it is the fact that the large number of people playing it means it will never get the balance look that it really needs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZorkNemesis Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) I'm one of the six Sonic/Ninja Blasters checking in. A strange combo for sure that I was inspired to roll upon seeing those two sets being the overall least played for Blaster (and only one at 50 from the last time stats rolled out). What a weird trip that ended up being, but still a cool one that's both unique in play (a Blaster with lots of control capabilities) and paradoxical in theme (ninjas aren't normally shattering eardrums). There's so much data to go through, at this point are there any powerset combos for any AT not at 50? I see a couple ones on the list but i'd be curious if anything's still overlooked.

Crysis Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) 11 hours ago, Sylar said: Looks like people only play Spines/FA just to farm which is super boring, there are other sets people 🤣 Looks like they REALLY enjoy playing this “boring set” relative to just about anything else in the game! Compared to how much they play there are entire AT’s that must be more “boring” to play. We also don’t know what they are playing content-wise. I suspect much of it is AE but I also see quite a few on iTrials and PVE content. But I also think this number is highly representative of the popularity of AFK farmers. I have one and it’s almost always logged in earning influence and drops during slow parts of the day, often for several hours at a time. The total population drop that happened in Aug/Sep was noticeable. Let’s hope end of school year coming brings back some summer players but I’m doubtful.

I'm wondering if there are any ways to advertise the existence of COH homecoming on more mainstream outlets such as MMO gaming news feeds, etc. If people paid, and COH was willing, would the dev team ever consider putting a YouTube add? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heraclea Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Let's see here: Tanker main: Invuln/Dark Melee. Reasonably popular. Blaster main: Archery/Devices. Reasonably popular. Brute main: Radiation/Electric Armor. Very unusual Scrapper main: Kinetic/Radiation Armoe. Rather unusual Stalker main: Ninja/Ninja Unoriginality, thou art made in Japan. Mastermind main: Beast/Time. Boring. Dominator main: Mind/Fire. Boring. Corruptor main: Psy/Dark. Rather unusual. Controller main: Illusion/Radiation. Super boring Not sure I've even rolled a Defender. I have a Widow I haven't started on, no Kheldians of either flavor. It seems like the more comfortable I am playing an AT, the more unusual choices I am willing to make. 1 QVÆ TAM FERA IMMANISQVE NATVRA TB ~ Amazon Army: AMAZON-963 | TB ~ Crowned Heads: CH-10012 | EX ~ The Holy Office: HOLY-1610 | EV ~ Firemullet Groupies: FM-5401 | IN ~ Sparta: SPARTA-3759 | RE ~ S.P.Q.R. - SPQR-5010 Spread My Legions - #207 | Lawyers of Ghastly Horror - #581 | Jerk Hackers! - #16299 | Ecloga Prima - #25362 | Deth Kick Champions! - #25818 | Heaven and Hell - #26231 | The Legion of Super Skulls - #27660 | Cathedral of Mild Discomfort - #38872 | The Birch Conspiracy! - #39291 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
