    Dear self. If you have someone on /ignore and you quote their posts to see what they're saying: you are making a mistake.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    LOL that is so sad. Then again it is a fantasy MMO, it shouldn't be surprising to find this kind of behaviour.

    I like how those arguements are ALWAYS qualified by a with.

    Well here are a few that aren't

    Brute SS KO blow at the damage cap outdamages any blaster attack at the cap.

    Corruptor blizzard at the cap is the single most damaging AOE attack in the game.

    I think farm, and lff should be added to the profanity list.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I find your positions on farming here in the forums very interesting and in stark contrast to your actual in game acts.

    Today on freedom in Cap a level 10ish-20ish zone what did I see? You on your 50 DB/WP Brute, Jacobi Law spamming in broadcast for players to join 'your' farm.

    It was even more interesting poping in mission #70844 listed as a "challenge". The "story" consists of the line "level Up" that's it. The enemy in the mission list as the "Fuuksi" from the custom critters group (farm) on a large outdoor map.

    To be fair you not the only one that displays one position here in the forums, yet does the exact same thing they are advocating others be limited in doing somehow.

    I'll take it as you were just playing devils advocate for fun and not actually being intentionally deceptive just to stir the pot in a negative manner, I guess.

    3.3 second cast time, 2.2 ? for KO blow and 2.23 ? for Headsplitter.

    Headsplitter with crits really blows it away and a brute with even moderate fury kills it.

    why is my damage not double or triple other ATs?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    So all you really want is to 1-shot even-con minions with Energy Torrent, alone, without Build Up or Aim. Where's the sarcasm font? I think I might need it for this.

    He seems to be saying that if blasters are going to be so weak elsewhere they need their damage increased otherwise give them better mitigation tools.

    Just a note blasters aren't actually the damage kings, they are the ranged and aoe damage kings. So yes for an AT to give up so much for damage it should either have it or have more available mitigation.

    A small built in ranged defense of about 6% or so not unlike a SOA's CTD, and or access to primary tier 3 or secondary tier 2 while mezzed would go along way towards actual balance.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Blasters do have mitigation, and lots of it. Except for Fire, but then again that set gives it up for more damage. If you ask me, I think Blasters are fine the way they are.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I make a habit of soloing mine up, even if in spots solo will be me dual boxing and powerleveling myself. They have problems that other ATs don't have.

    ot even necessary. Eye of the Magus + Aim + BU is enough to drop any EB, with little trouble.

    Eye is an incredible pain to get. I find it less trouble to buy IOs and purple out a build than to find enough people that want to afk farm summoned illusionists.

    There are already, like, 10-15 sites that have their own forums where you could discuss such a thing. What's wrong with those?

    As for the OP, good luck. Not sure what you're offering that we don't already have available, but I hope it works out for ya.

    The GameFAQs mods might give a [censored] enough to delete such a thread, I couldn't tell you for sure; IMDB though, rather unlikely. Granted, you are unlikely to garner actual sympathy in either place, but you can have your say. For a while at least. There are tons of other forums of all stripes too, the process for joining often merely filling out a form.

    Was your post serious? It's hard to tell.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Giving you the benefit of the doubt here and assuming you arent just toadying and chest beating as Zombie and Z were but just what is it you are trying to say ?

    From the look of it, you seem to think I want to vent, when what I said was I wanted to read what other people had to say.

    As to this " mods might give a [censored] enough to delete such a thread, I couldn't tell you for sure; " Perhaps you should ask around, I am certain there are plenty of people that could tell you for sure.

    Tagging and import/export support?

    Does this game have anything that requires such things?

    Just wondering... because we've got a 5+ year old community right here with everything that this could offer, already.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Forums not controlled by ncsoft are a distinct plus.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    As Zombie said.

    If the rules are too hard to follow, or you want some other items to talk about, there are already plentiful other forums to use.

    I come here to use the City of Heroes forums as is: about COH and its near associations.

    I go to my dragon website forums to talk about dragons and art.

    I go to the Steam forums to plug City and talk about Half Life.

    So...

    Yeah, I come here for my City news and discussion, not to berate moderators or devs and not to pick political fights or whatever else is found on those ubiquitous other forums.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Sorry you and zombie can't grok the concept that these forums are directed to ncsofts ends and those ends can and may very well not be the players.

    I for one wouldn't mind having access to another forum where people can say they were banned and why.

    Feel free to ignore me if you don't like the fact that I like to play a Superhero game rather than a game about farming missions.

    I'm just going to weigh in here on this thread in general.

    The OP and The_Alt_oholic are lowlife scum. Sorry, but I've never seen anyone so worked up over someone else's enjoyment, even when that enjoyment affects them in no way, shape or form. If those people were banned for farming, they'd still not play with you. You'd still "have trouble finding teams" or whatever your excuse is for this inexcusable display of sheer intolerance. I hate people like you who feel the need to threaten a very large mass of players with loss of account--essentially the MMO version of the death penalty--simply because they play the game in the way they see fit.

    Please go back to the Spanish Inquisition, you silly pair of McCarthyists. Then you can play with the big boys instead of bothering us.

    PS: Man I love my PL'd Crab Spider... never would've gotten one otherwise.

    The only problem I see here, is that you seem to feel that you are empowered to decide what is and is not appropriate use of the Broadcast channel, and that only certain level players should be allowed in Atlas Park.

    OMG can't beleive I missed that. If white represent outlvl for zone .. at what levels would you say it was appropriate for me to get my cape? aura? and or enter RV? I see alot of white low 20s 30s and maybe some high enough for RV.
    I would hate for you to arrest me because I finished the story arc I was before I went to see the city rep for cape and am now lvl 23 instead of 20.

    Panzer, it was pointed out to me that the boards are no place for reason and logic.

    Oh no the boards are perfect for reason and logic they are a perfect indication of who is winning and losing.

    Criticism over Minor math errors = -1 to critics score
    Pointless criticicism over logic = -2 to critics score
    Invoking semantics and having a definition of words no one uses = -3
    Grammar and Spelling = critic has capitulated but like a dinosaur doesn't realize its argument is dead.

    Reporting it in itself doesn't get it banned. They look at the reported content before banning them. The report gives them a 'flag', if you will.

    The fact that they are indeed banning farms makes it impossible for it to be griefing by reporting an arc as such.

    Farm, don't farm, whatever. It doesnt matter to me, but implying that someone who reports farm missions is griefing is plain wrong.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No, they don't. It is obviously an automatic process. If an arc gets enough complaints to push it over a threshold compared to how many votes it has, it gets banned automatically. It is then up to the player to appeal the lock.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    a real good farmer cant get banned, since he asks for 5 stars per runs.

    Are you talkin' about PL'ers?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Most of the farmers I know do one or two things, they either publish on demand or they want 3 star or less ratings.

    I'm there with you, Helios_Carnage.
    I'm already actively doing so.

    I'm also taking time to report players broadcasting for :: <ul type="square">[*]more members for AE farm teams[*]players broadcasting that they are looking for AE farm teams.[/list]
    I send along the time, server, and side that they sent the broadcast message along with a cut-and-paste of their message and their global handle.

    Needless to say if you say anything about PL-ing you're getting reported as well.

    On the other hand, some people here do have a valid point: such AVs are dangerous (or at least supposed to be), which means they have high risk. High risk means high reward, which in and of itself is balanced.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Does everyone like bs'n themselves in these forums?

    Most AV's are a joke in pug teams of 4+. I imagine farm teams have even less trouble.

    Lots of risk in killing AV's with a semi-competent group.

    By that logic why have any AV anywhere give more xp ? Or bosses for that matter ?

  25. Neither one of those gains much from munitions mastery.

    AR/EM is the best fit with Munitions as it will give you a hold to leverage ignite with. In either case you have a very bad armor, a redundant Snipe/aoe (You could take that and drop snipe, if you were planning on taking sting of the manticore).

    There is just horribly little synergy there. Force or electric would be much better, ice better yet

    Arch/Em cant say I have tried but it doesn't look good to me. Arch has little need of boost range, gains very little from power boost (stunning shot the exception). If you do go this way Munitions is just an even worse pairing as there will be no way to get LRM in on aim + BU with ROA
