Massive congrats man

Savour this, your first is always the best

Here's how I feel the ATs should be played based on personal experience. Alternate play styles welcome. These are just my personal opinions.

Defenders use their buffs.

Unless there's a specific reason not to (such as a pull or whatever) the Tank should lead the charge. Goes in and grabs aggro.

After that is done these things all happen at once:

The Controllers start laying down some control.

Defenders use their Debuffs

Scrappers start hitting anything that moves.

Blasters start hitting anything that moves.

I prefer my version thanks

I was kinda ticked about this whole tip-toeing around Recluse business myself. Dude, I kicked your future self's butt, if we fight, the world is doomed... you're gonna let me borrow your Lieutenants and anything else I want and you'll like it.

This is still the guy who pays your hospital bill and keeps the Arbiter Drones from vaporizing you. He's only letting you run around (some of) his Isles because he feels you can be of use yet.

[/ QUOTE ]

According to fate, they guy can't start a fight with me (or any Chosen One) since that will eventually lead to the destruction of Earth due to our epic-ness. Likewise, I can't take him on in a war for the same reason. I have the advantage though, my character has already defeated him in a possible future and I don't care if the world gets destroyed (that IS my character's goal after all ).

If you'd like to review one of my arcs, that'd be awesome.

WOW! Cool! I see what you did there!

No matter how well they fix it, or how much they might improve it in the future, ...
You can still SCORE!, by saying: [ QUOTE ]

Nice! Now, no matter what they do, Nobody can ever solve your complaint!
YOU WIN!



Oh, wait! I can trump that! :

If only it'd been like that for launch, . . . AND launch had been a week earlier!

Yay! Now I win!!


unless someone wants to go for 2 weeks, I suppose . . . and . . .
Oh Noes! That could just go on forever.
I think we will just have to throw all this out,

and just go back to being happy it is fixed!

Wow, I have one complaint about the game and or Devs in what, like 3 years and this is what happens.

I actually did this mission like, 15 minutes ago.

Freak Tanks already do obscene damage, he took me from 3/4 health to zero in one swipe... git.

So when did the Devs say they'll add the option to disable custom power colors on the client-side?

Bah, humbug!

[ QUOTE ]
Oh, and a better explanation as to why Reichsman's able to curb-stomp the team "out of the box."

The whole "siphoning power from Alternate Mark Coles" thing isn't doing it for me... Especially when he's curb-stomping players as soon as he's out of the box!

And get that Fifth Column emblem off his chest! He's Axis Amerika, not Fifth Column! They come to him, not the other way around!

[/ QUOTE ]

I assumed he'd always had been draining other Reichmans (Reichmen?) for their power, which is why the Freedom Phalanx had to imprison him in stasis rather than actually defeat him and lock him up.

As for his loyalty to the 5th Column and the symbol on his chest. Maybe Axis Amerika have their own 5th Column? A sort of elite group within the standard troops. Like SAS or Navy Seals or whatever.

[ QUOTE ]
Now we just need a significant plot rewrite on the 'I serve the 5th Column' from the Reichsman and less bowing to Recluse and we'll actually have a coherent, proactive SF for villains.

Badum tsh!

Take that labs that lead to dead ends pointlessly!

[ QUOTE ]
To be fair, after-the-fact height customization is something I feel should have been put into the game as standard, not as a booster, because inability to change height SUCKS.

[/ QUOTE ]

I do agree actually.

As long as they continue to give us free issues they can sell me as many extras as they want

And look, they still put the big stuff in free issues too! MA, Power Customisation and stuff is still free! It's only a few baubles that they're selling, the real gems are still free

Heh, forgot to put up map http://cityofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/F...City_(GvE).jpg

Bah, cant put the link up, just copy and paste

Maybe putting it in brackets was the problem?

* new-and-clueless players on level 50's and epics - again, with no need to pad or fill, there won't be the impetus to rope anyone who's standing around into your AE missions, and the new players will have a chance to learn more about the game's scope, lore, mechanics, et cetera. Veteran players on new characters will of course do what they know how to do to PL past levels they find boring (and I have absolutely no issue with that at all.)


[/ QUOTE ]

Oh I don't know, I think it just got easier to pl lowbies now that you don't need to find a bunch of fillers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, but it'll be lowbies who either know the PLer or from a second account, rather that newbies who just kinda stumbled in that whole scene.

Can you post your backlog so we know who's on it

Gonna make my Energy Blaster's attack's white, I'd always envisaged them as being white. Blue isn't bad, but I just like white

My guess is they've thought of this.

Ok thanks, Yeah I'm checking him ... because he is not that tough ... if he doesn't alpha kill you .. hehe. Sometimes I wish we could pick powers individually ...

[/ QUOTE ]

Psst, you can.

I hope it allows us to start at least some of the TF's solo.

Castle said it won't.

Ignore the snark. It seems to discourage teaming, is all I'm sayin'

[/ QUOTE ]

It doesn't discourage teaming. If you set it too high, you'll still get your [censored] kicked. People don't team to fight more enemies, they team to fight as a group. With multiple people you get better XP (because everything falls faster). If they just want more enemies then they ask for fills... which they won't need to now.

I think this could be a good change. The farmers can still farm and the broadcast spam should more or less go away. That means news players won't be getting roped into AE farms by mistake and farmers can continue to farm.

I think this is a good solution.

Yes, there are some powers that might look great with transparency like Invul and Regen but you won't be able to see if a toggle is on or off without looking at your icon or tray. If there is still a faint outline of the FX, then it could work.

[/ QUOTE ]

Surely that would be down to the individual player though, it's not like you'd be forced to make it transparent if it caused you problems
