Ruin Mage Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 PBs are cool. Starforge and Mojo Lite are the best Peacebringers around. But Warshades are just the dollar store version alright buddy, it's time to shit yourselfcasts earthquake, activates dispersion bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 The problem with warshades is that there aren’t enough of them to power the battalion’s warships. Until the battalion gets here, we are doomed to repeat the same content D= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jubakumbi Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Imagine thinking those are the only two things where team composition matters. Yikes. I can imagine all kinds of things, I have a vivid imagination. IMO, team composition _never, ever_ matters, to me, or to completing content. This kind of minutae is _terribly_ important to some people for, well, everything including crossing the street. Different strokes, differenet delusions. As I have said, on more than one occasion, I have made teams to run/finish content while someone else was still building the team, claiming it _had_ to be XYZ when we just did with AgR. People can play however they like from my PoV, but that does not mean I won't think it's silly, or that others won't think my playstyle is worthless.

Corruption Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 My 10 minutes Master of ITF strategy is bring whatever you want to play. Actually, that's my strategy for all PvE content. However, I will judge you if you bring a Kheld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes. It literally doesn't matter. Bring all Defenders. Bring all Energy Blasters. Game's easy enough at any difficulty that isn't +4 that you can bring the most hair-brained team and still win. What really matters is whether the people behind those characters have their heads screwed on. Oh? You like City of Heroes? Name every player character.

Robotech_Master Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 You do realize you're just ignoring them for joking around? Pretty clear none of this was serious. No, they're being ignored by some people for being bad at joking around, there is a difference. As John Scalzi put it, "The failure state of 'clever' is 'asshole.'"

MunkiLord Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 IMO, team composition _never, ever_ matters, to me, or to completing content. This is how I feel too. Except on a whim I put together an all Blaster ITF last night, so it mattered then. Even then I felt bad turning down a Defender and later a Warshade for that team.

Cool, bring all Energy blasters to an ITF and see if you can beat the speedrun record set by the SG "Warshades are Trash". Also, plenty of people in the LFG channel right now are building teams where they're asking for specific things to round their team out, that's their prerogative. Yes, we all know the game is easy, that doesn't mean that there aren't more situations where composition matters outside of the two that you named.

Yes, we all know the game is easy, that doesn't mean that there aren't more situations where composition matters outside of the two that you named. But 'matters' is subjective based on all kinds of things. If all that 'matters' is DPS and speed... If all that 'matters' is fashion... If all that 'matters' is Funs Per Second... People can build teams however they like, it does not mean the team makeup 'matters' to anyone other than the team leader... Personally, the _entire idea_ of the 'bragging rights' about things like speed TFs is laughable, but for some poeple it is 'serious business.' So, if you want to define what 'matters', context is king. Having some fun and exiting the real world for a while to play a game is all that 'matters' to me in terms of CoH.

generalkno Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Vince is right, imagine thinking that is the only thing team composition matters for. The game is easy, far easier to do the old content now with our level shifts and incarnate abilities. However the game can be as difficult as you want it to be. You can set new goals and aspirations. It's like golf, sure we have insane new technology that makes the game easier be it the clubs or balls, but that doesn't mean the masters is easier to win. If your goal is just to get through the content sure comp doesn't matter. But that's very short sighted to say that everyone only plays that way. You can't tell me how to play the game, just like Im not telling you how to play the game. I'd like to know how many of the people that are offended and outraged in this thread have been turned away from a Warshades Are Trash speed tf run because they were on a warshade. I already know the answer but please come forward. Really no one in this thread has a reason to be offended. You forgot Morph in your list of top PB's, for shame! The fact that some people understand this and some refuse to get it even after it's spelled out is a very good example of internet and modern culture. Hell, some people think that their opinion is so important that they have to make a post about giving a +1 influence on the forums. I'm not going to go into the psychology of this...

Corruption Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 The game is easy and you can complete any content with almost any team. Team composition can matter or not depending on what your objective is and what challenges you set. Now let's get back to the much more important topic.

Zep Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 It doesnt really matter if the people posting in LFG mean it or not. They are saying something exclusionary in public. Replace Warshade with any other AT - would it be right and OK? Replace Warshade with some other specific identifier for people would it be right and OK?

Lazarillo Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 However, I will judge you if you bring a Kheld. Judge me to be awesome, I would assume? Honestly, the only problem with Kheldians on the ITF is that they no longer spawn "real" Shadow Cysts alongside the objective ones in the second mission. Was always fun when that happened.
