Let's be honest, every single problem they've caused with this new system could have been avoided if they'd given even a day's notice before switching it on.
Thank you.

A unique identifier was sent to you in an e-mail titled "Game Account Activated" on the day that you originally activated your game account"
Yeah, SEVEN #$%&ing years ago, I looked it's not in my current email which means it was an old account, /more then one email account in nearly a decade....boggle/.
Same goes for "Serial codes/access keys:",
let me look for that game CD I bought in March 2004, ah there it is sitting right next to my keyboard...
I only even attempted to log into my master account today to purchase the new booster pack (for my wife's account as well), and this will get resolved, but..
..it would've been nice to know I even needed some of that information from my master account before implementing the new measures, in other words, quite a hamfisted process you followed NCSoft, somehow I think the brilliance that is CoX Marketing was in charge of this as it has that familiar aroma of fail.

I went through beta with an elec/fire blaster, which I recreated when CoH went live but soon started playing a fire/mace tank instead.
My first character only hit 50 late last year, almost 7 yrs in the making. -

I'd take Maneuvers
Yeah I took that with the free space from I/F, if only there were more slots, the one per each (1assault/1maneuvers) was all I could spare in the most recent build.
But you can't argue with math for the new FE, for those following along,
even taking a level 40 fire tank with GFS 3 slotted with just SO's (95% for easier math), hit Build Up, Fiery Embrace and pop a damage inspire for another 25% damage bonus, that's:
Lethal: 177.14 ((1*1.45)*(1+0.95+0.8+0.25)=4.35*table lookup)
Fire: 255.08 ((1.44*1.45)*(1+0.95+0.8+0.25)=6.265*table lookup)
Total = 432.22
That's an extra 43 damage over the old FE.
Throw in Fulcrum Shift, and it wouldn't be uncommon for you to be at the damage cap while Fiery Embrace was active.
With the typical minion at 390hp and typical lieutenant at 778hp for level 40's, that's a FS/FE combo that is very heavy on damage.
If two free slots drop from the sky, I'll more then likely try to find a way to add fe back into the build. ;] -
The real question is when is that old guy in your avatar going to wash the stem on his pipe, dudes been sucking on it for three years.
And no, I don't regret taking assault at all, the small buff to teammates is noticeable when it's on, and what end troubles, my fire/mace has none. I would take FE (or FE/BU & assault for that matter) if I could afford more then one slot, which I can't in my build, and my play style is not patient.
Que sera sera, right.
Hell some players use RotP as a staple in their attack chain, and blood would poor from my rectum before I would play that way. -

Take some time off, recharge your batteries,
It sounds cliche by now, but the sizable numbers of hiatus players who've returned over the years speaks to it's accuracy, I barely touched paragon city for a solid two years, aside for ttuesday, and have been playing like crazy for months.
Oddly enough dcu reignited my interest in this and not in that. -
Quote:I tried it all through closed beta, my thread was the sticky used to discuss it, also through open beta (and live) and the most common complaint came back the the lengthy recharge. A number of testers felt it still wouldn't fit their play style even with the buff, after extensive testing I found I was one of them.Originally Posted by Sailboat
Note that if one of those teammates has Fulcrum Shift, you're getting even less utility out of Assault (none at all if FS caps damage) but still full utility out of FE...and you're getting FE up faster if the Kin has Speed Boost.
If you can make room for it, and like it, use it, simple premises make for lighter stress in life.
Btw, if a teammate is spamming FSift and SP, you're going to be o k even if for some God knows reason you don't have either BU/FE/or a leaky bag of high octane jet fuel for that matter, ja.
Now I'd like to know how OP slotted FE and what lvl his wee little tanker is by now.

I've already got an order in from 06 for the 149 mins of the Da Vinci Code, enter the queue.
At least some of the BR devotees saw it originally at release, like I did w/ my dad, which tends to make a picture much more of an epic experience, depending on the material, of course.
I remember it making an indelible imprint on my squishy young mind, dark, brooding, and it stared Han Solo. ymmv

Not going to happen. -

You're skipping the newly improved Fiery Embrace?
I tried to fit it in, and did for about a month, but ultimately the very long recharge makes it less effective for my play style then BU.
I had the same issue with it in beta (as did quite a few others), though there's no denying Castle gave it a significant buff.
With the inherent fitness space, I've taken Assault & Maneuvers on my fire/mace for the first time and I wouldn't look back on the decision. -
Odds Ford will reprise his character in some role...getting better..?

I can't be the first one to pop that in here. -
I slot mine with three Adjusted Targeting in Build Up. ;]

You can see her HP were low.
I died and went to hosp rq didnt make it back into mission on time but managed to get the sreeenie of TF completion.
Thanks for the fun Tankers see ya next month!
Well done Apex & ITF thumpers, I would've loved to slug it out with you, our team got a couple levels for lowbies taking on Bobcat and Neuron from Maria's arc, she can't let my character go even after all these years.
If i20 drops before TT 78 next month I smell an all Tanker Lambda and BAF brewing, and maybe a couple other festivities. All good times. -
Couple of screenies, opening events thanks to Uman. :]
Good times were had. -
Couple of screenies from the classic champion TT.
Fun ensued. ;] -
Tom missed out on the goodby post, someone needed to tell him it's a rite of passage.
Take it easy Tomster. -

Sounds savory. =B -

"We're discussing alternatives to the current Respec methodology, but it obviously won't be something ready by Going Rogue."
That offhanded comment by Castle during GR closed beta last year gave a big lift to the prospect of seeing this old system updated, in fact I got quite a few PMs high-fiveing his quite.
But with Castle gone now and resources likely stretched it's more likely they're focusing on core content with less man time for QoL.
After that beta I really thought Respec 2.0 would be in i19-i20. The possibility with a smaller staff going forward is murky. -
Thing is you'd have to stomp and kill Pillars Of Might out of existence, otherwise it's only a matter of time before your sg friends draw you back here.
Have fun in your endeavors!
-ps, wife and I axed our subs to that other thing (both made it to 17 =]), feel free to banish our spots from that branch of the Pillars. ;] -

Predictions were made, let's see how uber we were.
