A level 20 DO and people a ******** kittens? Does anyone even USE DO's anymore?

Once again I am appaled by the ramapnt sense of entitlement on these boards. You'd think I'd be used to it by now considering every time they make any kind of announcement there are people who complain that it's not a big enough reward, or that it's not fair or they threaten to rage quit.

ha ha ha.. hee hee... ho ho....ahhh.. funny.

I'm just hoping that Ultra-Mode runs on my comp. I can run CoH currently on max settings with little to no lag even in full groups.. so hopefully Ultra-Mode will run for me..

I think the problem with people wanting into this Closed Beta comes from the confusion over the fact that Ultra Mode, Demon Summoning and Dual Pistols were all supposed to be part of Going Rogue. GR had very clear written criteria for being in the closed beta. Now Dual Pistols has already been tested.. now they're testing Ultra Mode AND Demon Summoning, which is part of GR, which people thought they'd get a chance to be part of the Closed Beta for.

Is it nice that we're getting these things early-ish(only if you pre-order GR in the case of the two power sets)? Sure.. but being closed beta testers was something people were sure they would be for these things.

But.. it's the interwebs.. people always want more.. and complain when they don't get it.

I think things would settle down if a Dev would just come out and say if the GR Beta Testers would get in on this Closed Beta or not.. Of course then people would complain about that then..

I would of been happy with a new log-in badge at least. Ah well.. back to waiting for GR to hit beta..

Well.. since it seems they have RetConned Preatoria a bit for GR.. I'm still holding out hope the Stefan Richter is alive somewhere. Mostly because if the "Bio" is to be beleived, Tyrant didn't go all homicidal-jackass until the whole Korean thing.

I do like that things aren't quiet so cut and dry "black and white" on preatoria. The "Loyalists" could actually BE good people trying to help society.. ame with the "Resistance".. then agian.. there could be some crazy oppressive types.. to go along with the viscious terrorist types in the Resistance..

deffinately looking forward to getting into the beta phase to see how it all pans out..

So I decided to finally dive into fully IOing out some of my 50's, starting with my first toon, a Katana/Super Reflexes scrapper.

What I'm looking for are a pure DPS build, looking to optimize my damage output and an optimized Defensive build, looking to get my Def to the soft cap..

Any links or builds would be welcomed..

rubberbanding is more a problem stemming from your connection to the CoX map server. You "snap" back when you become out of sync.. so.. try updating your internet cards drivers..

Well how about we remove that 100 years from history books too? Don't want to offend anyone..

if you think that is bad taste, you must live in a constant state of disgust, because there are plenty of worse things out there.

uggg.. Political Correctness from the baby witch wiccan crowd now..

how about we just leave it as is and get over it..

It always amazes me how seriously people take a game.. and I don't know why it still does after all these years..

Yeah, in Sharkhead run the PTS pipeline between the University and Power Station, you can farm both CaD Demons and the Hordelings, not the fastest place, but consistant.

Hellfrosts/Succubi spawn around Potters Field.. where you can also hunt Freakshow Tanks and Cage guards in a circuit areound the island..

I really dislike the WoW "The game as a job" mentality that has been creeping into the player base since the advent of IO's. Before there was no "must haves" for builds beyond some specific powers, but why play a Rad without the debuffs or a Kin without the buffs?

Now.. damn I'm tired of people acting like if you're not fully IO'd out that you somehow don't know how to play. That somehow other people not playing the game on Invincible somehow impacts your game play.

And the fits of rage over people earning a badge, from people who couldn't care less about what Badge collectors do most times is sickening.

It's a game.. if you're driven to these heights of anger of a change or because someone got something you didn't.. perhaps it's just time you move on anyway. I play CoX because it's a much more relaxed and friendly atmosphere then WoW, try not to ruin that.

It's always something around here..

my guess would be the first of second weekend in October..

So.. I finally decided to IO out my 50 Kat/SR.. but the problem is.. I have absoloutly no idea what IO sets to use.. so I turn to the acknowledged experts.. name-less people on an internet forum!

Thanks in advance for any advice..

Some people take a game way to serious..

I use the AE to burn through the mid-teens and twenties.. I've played that content so often it's disgusting.. so I use the AE to get to 35 so I can join my SG members in Cim or RWZ.. or if I need a couple levels on a toon to participate in a TF I haven't run with a pscific toon I use it then..

I was disgusted at the guy playing a lvl 30 Crab Spider who didn't know how to accept a mission the other night in the AE..

Though honestly.. AE farming Red Side is horribly difficult.. CoV lacks the "Social" zone that CoH has in Atlas, so the AE population isn't concentrated.. getting a team as anything less then level 35 is a Herculean task in and of itself.. and when you do.. half the time the people have NO idea how to run a farm team..

but.. if you're just a casual player... why do you want to be a beta tester? Just so you can see things a few weeks before other people?

I've been in a closed Beta or two.. they're not that exciting.. lot's of broadcast spam with people asking the same question over and over..

As a fan of the WoD and someone awaiting the WoD MMO I can say this.. WoD fans are snobs.. lol.. pretentious unrealistic snobs. So many way to basically play their Table Top pen and paper gome on-line.. and that just will not work.

Champions.. if I could of gotten into the Beta I might of bought the game.. but I'm not going to pay FilePlanet $15 to try a game I might not like or that my comp might not handle..

SWTOR is still YEARS away.. and not exactly the main compitition of CoH.. if it's good you might see a dent in WoWs numbers..

DCUOL.. again.. is still at least a year away.. and I'll hold off my judgement until I see more. I like the idea of being able to join the DCU teams.. and fighting with the big names sounds fun.. but it will depend on how it's implemented..

Free speech is easy to defend when it's something you believe in..

Honestly.. the first guy you should of reported.. let him deal with a GM over it.. the group in the CC.. well.. nothing you can really do but ask them to maybe take it to a private chat..

Saddly.. people have the right to be idiots.. and if you think THAT was bad.. try playing Halo 3 or Call of Duty on X-Box live and listen to the sheer vulgarity coming out of the mouths of the CHILDREN playing there..

You can't stop people from being jerks.. just be a better person.. and raise your kids to be better people..

Any chance of Scrappers getting Super Strength? Corruptors getting Archery and Trick Arrow? Brutes getting their ice powers back?

And I'll reiterate CO and DC are both giving this sort of slider/bodytype ability for free with their games.

Very interesting the only counter-arguments I'm hearing here are ad homs about whining and entitlement. How does keeping up with the competition strike you as an argument in favor of sliders for everyone? Pretty good one, I'd say.

You have no clue what DCUO will offer other then what the early press hype has told you they're going to have.. as for Champions, I could really care less what they offer. Nothing about Champions has made me say "Wow.. I wanna play that!" So the argument that either of these games does something doesn't hold water.

Given how much free content the Devs have given people over the years.. expecting people to pay for a minor perk isn't to much to ask..

admittedly.. when you bought the pre-order or DVD editions of CoH or CoV.. you were buying the GAME.. the Hero PAck was like $5.. and it gave you a Cape and a Badge for in-game stuff..

I honestly don't get what has the panties in a twist of all the people complaining about the Booster packs. If you like what they offer.. buy 'em. Show your support for the game. Because sales of the Boosters only help the game in both the short term and long run. If you don't.. then don't buy it, no one is forcing you to buy it.

I swear I'm going t odrown in the tears of the rightously wronged players.

Jebus people.. shell out $10 and buy the damn booster if you want to change the height and model of your toon.

Gah..
