Complaining about imaginary things

[MHertz]

Yes, kids, it’s that time again! A new build has hit the beta testing server and it’s time to complain about things that don’t exist.

 

For one thing, I really don’t like the new Mastermind set, Government Attorneys. It’s supposed to debuff with -Speed and -Recharge but it only seems to affect my own team. And they also debuff each other. Plus, their Subpoena attacks just take forever to have any effect.

 

I really don’t like how you replaced Echo Galaxy City with the set from “Cats.” I also didn’t need to see a bunch of citizens walking around dressed like James Corden or Taylor Swift in cat suits. I mean, to be fair, the giant catgirl statue can stay (rowr!) but everything else should get reverted.

 

Can we please change the Water Blast power set back to water and not pies and glitter and seltzer bottles? I have a thing about clowns and I just know that I’m going to see a ton of them after this hits Live.

 

The new mission arc for Justin Greene (Justin Lost His Cellphone) is terrible. Isn’t there a better mission plan than to run to all the contacts in his phone and give them his new number? IP is a huge zone and it takes forever. And you have to keep running back to him to get the next name. Why can’t I use his new phone number to call him? Why is a superhero doing this?

 

The new Tantrum set for Blasters (secondary) and Scrappers (primary) looks pretty good animation wise, but I’m finding it doesn’t really do enough damage. The Footstomp doesn’t really do anything, the Door Slam doesn’t have a large enough radius, and Meltdown should be moved down to T6 or T7. It looks hilarious when you hit the floor and scream and cry, but the damage is not deserving of a nuke. The only animation that needs work is Rude Gesture, which looks weird without any separate fingers on the character model. But the really good part is that the set actually gets worse when paired with Regen, which totally fits the theme.

 

I really appreciate how we got a new body model after all these years, but why couldn’t it have been Female Huge instead of Sports Mascot? They’re not much better than clowns, to be honest.

You're just going to have to get used to it.  The NCSoft attorneys demanded it as part of our continued existence.

[MoonSheep]

i’m not sure this is true - everyone left the game after the defense type changes don’t you remember? we all had to fundamental rebuild from the ground up all of our 114 main alts because the Inner Circle™ hates farmers and min/max’d characters

 

how dare you suggest people actually -try- the changes before complaining, ridiculous

Where is the innocent bystander archetype. I WANNA BE AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER!!! 🤬

But Objection is such a cool power!

Even my less than complete grasp on reality is having a tough time following this and a tougher time caring.  
 

And so I give you a short paragraph of auto complete as a response:

 

What’s funny about that statement was that the company has been working hard for years and has always been very successful in making sure people understand what they need and want and that people will always have their best interests at heart and that’s what we are doing right here in America right there on our border and the world of the world is changing so rapidly that we have been able not only to be more successful but also more prosperous than ever before and we have become a very important and very powerful and very strong and very…..

 

it started remarkably cogent then wrote itself into a box.

To be fair, you do spend a lot of time in a box

And you will get to. That is one of the three forms you get with the new prestige archetype, “The Door Sitter“ (The other two are “impressionable youth,“ and “fairly useless sidekick“).

It's a little known fact that all the minions of Rularuu used to work for the IRS...

Biggest run on sentence I've seen.

Hurts my head.

I'm sorely disappointed that the Kitten Shittin' assault set didn't make it into this Page.  I was really looking forward to pairing that with Denim Control.  Which was also delayed.

 

C'est la vie.

I gotta say, I was pretty confused DON'T STARE when a new currency called "Forbidden Knowledge" was added to the patch. I've collected IT STARES BACK a ton, but I have no idea what to use IT DOESN'T BLINK it on or how much I should have in the first place. When I asked MUST CONSUME a dev about it, their only response was "it told me to". What does that even mean? IT KNOWS Doesn't seem like a great use of dev time to me.

 

Does anyone else have an odd craving for organ meat?

No, I was Army, not a Marine.

We have SOME standards.

Not many, but some.

I, for one, am pleased that nipples have not only been un-nerfed, but given their own scale slider. No complaints here.

So we're going to see a bunch of rock star characters with names on the theme of Nippleback.

They will be most noticeable when paired with alts named after variations of Coldplay.

 

And a tech update... not just a scale slider, but X-Y-Z sliders! Yayyyyy Dev Team!

Everyone, I think we need to look at the bigger picture. Regen, it needs to be nerfed. No matter what else takes place, if regen is not nerfed then this has all been for naught.  Thank you for your time.

Good luck with that.  They still haven't given us the P2W vendored, limited-ammo, regen Nerf gun that lets you regen teammates.
