Quote:How terrible of me to suggest this game could be improved.Originally Posted by SinisterDirge
You missed the point by such a wide margin... Not a single person in this thread has stated that COH CAN BE NO BETTER. You might want to read the whole thread before you chip in.
In that quote, I was refering to the community ***** slapping Ultimo_ is getting because of his lack of social skills. Kinda like when a pack of dogs "correct" the behavior of a dog in the pack showing aberrant, and unsocialized traits.

I'll tell you what, I wont roll my eyes at your RPing, or badge hunting, or yiffing, or whatever it is you get from this game(well, I might point and laugh if you are yiffing, but I wont propose they stop you from PMing eachother...) and you dont roll your eyes at me for having fun by getting xp.
I think you should probably stop with the animal metaphors.
You know if she needed you to come to her game and kill her players, then they were right. Gamemastering is an art. Being willing and able to kill players doesn't mean it was a good game.Quote:Fulmens:
Lord Ashtoreth: There are two parts to "roleplaying game." I have a friend who GM's and tells wonderful stories, but she came to me once asking her to guest star as a villain. Because her players weren't paying attention. Because they didn't believe she would kill them. And they believed, correctly, that I would. You're free to RP whatever you like. But when you step into the realm of combat, you risk losing the fight. "I don't want to practice my Kung Fu and get in shape" is not an excuse. Neither, likewise, is"I don't want to take Stamina."
However, Stamina is not the equivalent of 'getting in shape.' Otherwise, we'd start the game taking nothing but that tree. I can see you're making a case that 1-20 is the equivalent of Newb Hero learning the ropes...but I think that model is already played out by the progression of abilities and power levels.
Is the new sobriquet 'Lord' meant to twit me?

Quote:Instead, you have a game where your scrapper can take out Galactus, but Superman needs a team of other Supermen to do the same. Congratulations!Originally Posted by M_I_Abrahms
Because he was the first natural Hero that came to mind. You can substitute Nightwing or Green Arrow or even the Question and the point is the same. Not everyone that plays this wants to be Superman, some of us prefer Heroes that have actual challenges to face.
About the Giant Monster thing, that's old hat in comic books. So-and-so is a regular arch-villain til he stole THE POWER COSMIC, went mad, and became UBER. Now he can't even be fought directly except as a distraction while so-and-so gets a MacGuffin that'll take away his power/send him to another dimension, etc. -

There is a definate pack mentality to it. Too bad there is no Cesar Millan - Troll Whisperer...
Granted, I only read the first few pages and the last to see where it ended up, but the COH CAN BE NO BETTER crowd who prefer their temp powers and slots and power pools to make up for...powers that suck....are pretty defiant.
I dunno. I don't come here to crunch numbers and micro-manage. I come here to rp a particular type of hero, and I want to take those powers--not whatever other stuff someone thinks I ought to because they want to make sure you're not having too MUCH fun, because someone thinks the game is only fun based on experience progression..::rolls eyes:: -
Name: The League of Mystery Men
Membership: Limited to myself.
My main is a Green Lantern inspired toon and my only 50, though I've been playing for years and am a 51 month veteran (not counting the years I quit paying). I've been a member of the Paragon Lantern Corps and the Emerald Order (ally to Galaxy Guardians). But I'm an altaholic and have been known to go years between logging in to this particular toon, especially when I try out other MMOs (I'm also a longstanding friend of one of the WoW Black Rose Guilds). Both SGs have bitten the dust.
But I'm still here! And I like to keep an eye on the Guardian channel because it's so active. (And since this is my main and the only toon I've focused on leveling to 50, it's the only one I care about collecting badges or task forces for.)
Not really interested in joining another SG. I AM interested in coalitions with other people.
Send me an email here if you want, I've disabled in game email except to friends and SG due to epic spam. -
<--Not getting it.
Why not just open character costume creation for each variation of thug? Their animation stays same, they do the same thing, they just LOOK different.
That's what they did for Weapons customization. You might be swinging a Mace, but it looks like a shovel, etc. -
I don't really see how..

Being sidekicked to a 50 for even one mission can be a faster way to make money. The random enhancements are worth your while to vendor, and I picked up enough nice ones to clean up at the market without a lot of complexity.
