Argo Cap


Recommended Posts

I would like to Suggest that the devs do away with the argo cap all together, Make the game more fun for us Vet Tankers and Brutes, Make the game the way it use to be, Everyone had a place /role in the game, Hell now it's where everyone is on the same playing field. a blaster standing toe to toe with a brute or tank when they should be toast not being able to handle when a brute or tank can handle., if i want to pull the whole map i should be able to do it,, think cap is 15 now raise it to 100 if your scared to do away with it,

No fair, Red!  I purposefully bit my tongue not to bump this thread!

*waggles finger*

 

 . . . ugh, now that we're here . . . 

 

This topic has come up a lot.

A lot.

A LOT, a lot.

 

And the answer is:  This isn't the server for that.  

Sorry.  You'll probably get better mileage out of one of the other City of Heroes revival servers out there.  This one just isn't going to futz around with target caps.  Not unless something HUGE changes.

Folks get what you are saying, however, when making this type of request the are considerations of exploitation and balance across the player base that will usually trump said request.

 

An argument that addresses concerns that may be raised could get more traction (no promises).

Argo cap ...?

It's a Argo City, home of Supergirl.  The city was capped (or domed, if you prefer) to protect the atmosphere from the hard vacuum of space.

 

But if we do away with it, won't all those people suffocate?

Don't do away with that Cap either.  Caps, and manners, of course, maketh man

Hard fucking NO here.

 

I DO NOT want to go back to the days where the tanks demand the group wait to herd the entire map.

 

That shit has been gone since issue 5.  It is now issue 26.

 

Let

 

It

 

Go

 

And if you are talking from a firefarming point of view:  your ass would get handed to you if the entire map was on you and your 5/10/16 target limit AoEs are chipping away at the army.  youd die.

Completely removing Tankers and Brutes as ATs would be more desirable in my opinion.

 Dammit, I had to go and do housework and someone beat me to it.

So instead, I'm going to go all fanboy nerd and point out that's not an Argo cap.

This is an Argo cap.

 . . . does this mean I may continue the proscribed beatings?

No, ma'am. Perma-Haten is verboten.

I would like to recommend avoiding the gendered honourifics, please.

 

Also, since I'm feeling a bit bad about being the most prolific perpetrator of threadjacking here, I'd also like to offer @Power Extreme a reply that isn't meant to mock or detract from their intended suggestion:

https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/509-aggro-cap-and-patrol-xp/

These threads are all examples of the topic coming up in the past.  There are some solid reasons and explanations in them that explain the reason that Aggro Caps were put in place, and some of the negative impact removing them would have.
I hope the information is helpful.
