My top 5 CoH annoyances ...

My top 5 CoH Annoyances.

 

1. The Magically Vanishing Mouse Cursor -- That bug been around since early days of live. Never gotten fixed.

 

2. Patrol Missions from contacts.  Terrible way to make a team quit, when you get slew of Patrol Missions blockading your door missions.  I honestly feel they need to remove all Patrol Missions from each contact in each zone and set up a Patrol Specific Contact in those zone with them. I know that's a lot work, but man that would save issues and be far smoother run.

 

3. Specific Members of our Player base: Mostly folks who join and stand around thinking your a Farm even when you say your a mission team or those who run off solo on a team. Like honestly if you want to solo, go solo.  My teams or teams in general(less said in advance) are there to be a TEAM.

 

4. People inability to learn and expand their information of the game and what else there is, besides ROFL FACEROLL BLUE/FARMS -- Play as you want, but it's these folks then who bitch, piss, and moan about not enough stuff to do, or it's easy, or don't know their own feet from their own mouth.

 

5. Secret Stealth Buffs of specific mobs or published buffs to mobs.  Listen, I get your trying modernize the game and maybe bring in newer faces. But realistically it's mostly going be older faces coming and staying for any length of time. A lot of us are 20 years older and have 20 years of health issues of some kind.  I'm not asking for faceroll easy, but F' -- Stop trying make this a Dark Souls game.   If you wanna do that, make a new server with full rebuilt Dark Souls hard mode or some shit, lol.  Some upgrades, QoL, little extra spice to stuff is fine. But some shit gotten a bit drastic.  I feel that ends up chasing away folks (I could be wrong).

on the other hand, you can actually still play the game.

I don't feel like listing a top five annoyances, because most of my irritants have already been mentioned. But I will go on a rant about my number one gripe.

 

Power customization.

 

I know a lot of folks are scratching their heads at how such a wonderful feature could be listed as my biggest annoyance. It's because most powers that get recolored look 100x worse than the original. Especially when players choose the "dark" color option. I've never seen a single power that looked good with that variant. If someone wants to make their character look shoddy with garish colors, let them. But when buffers make my character look like @$$ because they cast a burnt-shit green "dark" fire shield on me, it pisses me off. It's the main reason I would rather solo.

 

Personally, I've never felt the need to recolor any of my powers. I play power sets as-is. Water blast is water blast. The only time I'll recolor a power is because I want it to look more like what it's trying to be. I'll recolor water to be a lighter shade of blue. But it's still water. I've heard people recolor it red and call it lava. But it just looks like red water.
