    So we didn't drop a Lanaruu bomb on the Battalion. We dropped a Hamibomb on them, and locked the door on our way out. Gyahaha.

    The game's death was quickened because electric blast sucked?

    Seriously now.....I'm not at all sad the game is closing. Its due....and making everyone near immortal thru set bonuses and incarnate stuff is what killed the game for me a long time ago.

    Teams steam roll the game now. Don't need a tank.....don't need an emp .....don't need a troller. Just get 8 expensive toons together of any kind and smash....no slowing down.....no risks.....no worries.


    I miss pulling, needing a good tank, needing a good emp, hearding, stopping to rez the fallen, planning our attacks, av's no one could possibly solo, team wipes, managing my endurance, nuking and seeing the awe and winder in a new players face that I just wiped a whole group with one attack and many more things. Mostly....simply I miss stratagy.

    So goodbye coh ....you allowed us to create absurdly powerful toons and basically turned the game into a boring God mode fest.

    RIP
    I agree partially, but not fully or even in spirit. The game was more fun when a few Freak Tanks could eviscerate a whole team. But the game is fun in a different way with everyone walking around as gods.

    Let me get this straight. Nemesis wants to drop a Lanaru-bomb on the Battalion?

    I will not miss for a second:

    -Mitten hands.
    -The transparent moon that rises in the North.
    -The terrible character jogging/running animation with the static hips.
    -The utter disdain for the flying brick and comic book tropes that is manifest in the Tanker AT.
    -The slap in the face to Tankers that was the Brute AT and Fury.
    -"Offices" that lacked windows, furniture and any sense of architectural purpose.
    -Store front doors that lead to cave missions.
    -Cave missions.
    -The wasted time and resources (and resulting nerfs) of adding PvP to the game, maintaining PvP, revamping PvP and then watching PvPers throw it back in the devs faces before taking off.
    -Dragging Praetoria on and on and keeping us from even seeing the Coming Storm or Battalion after years of build up.
    -Endless variations on melee and mundane weapons at the cost of adding more actual super powered sets.
    -The massive disappointment that was Wolf Mastery.
    -Arcanaville
    -The semi transparent buildings in Steel Canyon that were never fixed.
    -The massive missed opportunity that was Day Jobs.
    -Afterburner not being a temp/vet/purchasable power and Hover even existing.
    -Forum brown-nosers.
    -The Hybrid Incarnate slot.
    -Space squids and their Cyst STD.
    -Street Justice, Martial Assault and Martial Combat not being done years ago.
    -The restrictive and stifling AT system as a whole.
    -Rooting/movement suppression.
    -Incarnate Trials and their cheating mechanics.
    -Holding completed stuff back/releasing Soon TM (Yeah, 'soon' turned into 'it never happened').
    -Oranbega
    -Malta's blue cowboys.
    -The game's utter lack of dinosaurs and giant insects.
    -The lack of buses.

    And last and most importantly:

    -Not being able to pick up and throw cars or punch people through walls.

    You. You and your ridiculous little dot at the end of your posts.

    Don't farm any winter lords that spawn. The IRS is much less forgiving than the anti-exploit devs.

    "A large and growing list of articles, mostly looking at newsgroup and email communications, suggest that norms of gendered behavior continue to shape online interactions." (Nice way of saying, stating you're female puts you into the sexist placement you already have in society, online.)

    Stating you are female before any other impression (Except for possibly your name/forum avatar) is kind of asking for sexism.

    You could go ahead and argue that its our culture that's sexist, and you shouldn't have to hide your gender...except that nobody is asking you to hide it, just not whip it out left and right. Some other posters here are female as well, but aren't judged the same way you might be because of that.

    Hope that helped. Check out any of the above sources if you want to read into it more.
    So what you're saying is, women can't decide for themselves whether to identify themselves publicly as female because to do so is sexist.

    Need I say more?

    A really long time ago, I made a thread stating I was leaving CoH. One of the things I did in that thread was put out a call for advice on how to succeed in college. I got an outpouring of advice and support, but yours was among the strongest and most detailed. I have tried my best to adhere to it, and I think it has served me very well. I doubt you even remember giving it, but thanks again.

    And thanks for your videos. The CoH swan song video was epic and tear-jerkingly sad.

    I um.. used to troll the forums occasionally. On purpose. Successfully. Mostly y'all didn't catch on that I was trolling. I was pretty good at it, generally only dangling worms that wouldn't cause too much ruckus or be seen as too unbelievable. Oftentimes I would do it just to play devil's advocate if I saw a certain group of people going into herd mentality without examining their own positions. Sometimes I would do it because it needed to be done and y'all were starting to take yourselves too seriously. Sometimes I would do it to let off steam. But it was always done in the spirit of an older brother picking on a younger brother. Or a younger brother annoying an older brother. Or some combination of the two.

    Gonna miss y'all. Sincerely.

    I suspect most of the population has already moved on. Remember, we fanatics are a very vocal minority compared to the casuals and power gamers who never frequent the forums and probably never even heard of SaveCoH. Many of them likely moved on after the first month or so, permanently, and not all of us fanatics are going to be there. I likely won't.

    On SWTOR, most likely. I just can't participate in this. It grants the shutdown legitimacy.

    That's how some of these responses read to me. I mean, if you enjoy doing it, then it's worth doing, yes? All the people that say, "there's no point now, because the game is being shut down"... but that assumes there ever WAS a point, beyond enjoying the game.
    With the game being alive, you could at least look at the badges and e-caress them while chanting "mes précieux".

Strangely, the modern English language, despite how ambiguous gender/sex has become in modern society, especially online, there is still no singular pronoun for a person that is gender-neutral. Except for "it." But good luck calling anyone that without them getting offended. "He" used to be acceptable for a male or a female, just as "Man" was often used to describe the human race. But this is now politically incorrect.
    English should use the female pronoun. It encompasses both he and she.

    Of course not. But the sentiment is far more prevalent than it should be. Like racism in the Republican Party. I doubt even half of the Republican Party is racist, likely far lower than that in fact. But it's not really a mystery why most racists are Republicans. One wonders what conclusions we can draw from the prevalence of racism in the Titan community.

    Yes. That is clearly what you meant, given that this subtopic is about how Koreans write names in red ink to denote extreme ill-will towards other human beings. Absolutely.

    Go be a cünt elsewhere.
