Because that would still be confusing.

Fire/Energy is like one of the strongest (not the strongest, but close) powerset combinations for blasters.

Blasters weren't fine. Some blasters were great, some were good, some were okay, but all were limited in ways that other ATs were not. Individuals may have had a great time with their blasters - I know I enjoyed the heck out of my Ice/Energy - but the overall trend was that blasters tended to level slower and get more debt.

I mean, per your example, I played a Kheldian to 39 with hardly any deaths by quantum gunners back when they had unresistable damage. I even tanked a void hunter lieutenant once. Part of this was that I had, at one point, actually memorized where on each map quantums would spawn and they rarely caught me by surprise. But this didn't mean quantum gunners and void hunters weren't a problem for Kheldians or that Kheldians themselves were "fine." It just meant I adapted to the fact that every mission would have kryptonite for me.

I see what you did there.

That's a good effort, but I think Liefield tends toward tiny or obscured feet because he can't draw them.

Also, there's no way to give someone a million teeth.

I do get how this goes. It's frustrating.

This would have been great.

Did you check the default costumes for the Fist and Master archetypes? Those might be inspirational.

It's not only a game, though. It's a community and that seems to be what hits people harder. With SWG I actually disliked everything I heard about the game, but my WoW guild started up after SWG died and many there were still upset about it to some degree even this past year (had a talk about it in TOR).

As far as games, I have plenty of games to play. Only one CoH community, however.

Did you read the storyline in which Mary Marvel got power from Black Adam and was then possessed by one of the New Gods?

They've added a lot of tights options in the store, which helps a lot. But yeah, I think CoH does the classic spandex look better.

And as far as it goes, I wish CO had more of CoH's costume sets because it's complicating my attempts to remake CoH characters in the game. Most of them end up being reinterpretations, at least visually. It's not a problem, but it could be better.

I am fairly certain the celestial armor in CO predates the celestial armor in CoH by quite a bit

The block thing isn't just to be different - it is part of the process of making combat more active, similar to shifting endurance from a passive resource to be used and slowly recovered to something you manage more actively by recovering with your energy builder, block, and energy unlock. It also provides more leeway in terms of mob difficulty by giving players the means to control incoming damage and protect themselves from most status effects.

That has to sting.

It was kind of gloriously fun for a little bit. And then nothing was a challenge, at least in the world or personal instances. Still had trouble in lairs.

Hey, now. Punching with darkness is pretty darned awesome.

Think of it as something like punching someone right in the soul.

It's not on the wiki, but power armor has three energy builders:

Wrist Bolter, Power Bolts, and Laser Edge. The third one is melee.

That's reasonable.

I enjoyed the heck out of CO but every time I tried to play it I came back to CoH instead.

I've actually wondered about this for the longest time.

Now I know.

Yeah, that just about covers it. My experience with CO is similar, and I have a lot of fun with it when I play it. I don't see these games as being something that one has to swear eternal loyalty to, and when people talk that way I mostly just want to back away and hope their delusions distract them before they notice me again.

I had this problem linking PWE and Cryptic accounts. What ended up working was linking the two via STO rather than CO. I have never even played STO, so I have no idea what that was about. But it worked, finally.

You're trying to reason with someone whose reflexive reaction to any MMO other than CoH is to make insulting generalizations about the devs, players, and game.

This is probably 100% wrong.

You can also use block and pick up an energy unlock that synergizes with your other powers to get endurance.

Also, it only takes a few seconds to rebuild endurance with the energy builder.
