It's not about what Grouchybeast, Golden Girl, Arcanaville, Bill Z Bubba, Werner, or ClawsandEffect want it to be either.

It is about appealing to the largest amount of people possible. There are things that will thrill some players that others will despise. There are things that will increase difficulty, just as there are things that will decrease it (if getting Stamina at level 2 isn't a difficulty decrease, I don't know what is).

You do not have sole possession of the game, and neither does anyone else. If you don't like part of the game, you have the option of ignoring it and doing the stuff you do like.

They will continue to release soloable content, because the devs are well aware that there is a significant number of players who enjoy soloing. In fact, I will be very surprised if there isn't some kind of normal mission content taking place in Praetoria for Primal Earth characters to do, probably in the 30-40 and 40-50 range. Releasing it with i20 would make sense. They very seldom release details about new mission arcs months in advance, so it doesn't surprise me that we haven't heard anything about any yet.

Saying that the game should remain casual, and not cater to people who want a challenge AT ALL is just plain ridiculous. There have been 18 issues of "casual", and now there is content that is more challenging, and is also completely optional.

Since I started playing this game over 5 years ago, I have NEVER seen anything in it that was absolutely required in order to advance. Everything in the game, from badges and task forces to IOs, PvP, and marketeering is optional.

Name ONE thing that you absolutely MUST do to advance in the game, that you absolutely can't do by yourself. I can't think of anything at all that fits that criteria, can you?

You're outraged that they are changing YOUR game into something you don't like. Since when are we playing City of Eiko_chan? Yeah, I just looked at the header at the top of my forums, it still says "City of Heroes". It's not YOUR game, it is the game of anyone who chooses to play it, and you do NOT get to dictate that "this is a casual game, go take you challenge seeking and play something else"

And since when did this game become YOUR game? It's as much mine as it is yours so my desires are every bit as important as yours.

Builds, no - strategies, yes



Prepare for more "gimmicks" in upcoming Issues

If I was giving away my purple drops, because I just sold a bunch of other purple drops, I wouldn't team with any of you people either. I would sit in my purple wallpapered base stroking my purple cat while thinking of alts I could create that could use all ten purple sets.

Jeez the last time I got a purple drop was months ago and I accidentally sold it at a store. I don't even remember what president was in office the last time I got a purple drop before that.

The tedium of those continual walls of text is *jokingly* translated into being a bad teammate, which he isn't.

He isn't a bad teammate. That's the joke. But people are willing to jokingly accept that fake premise out of their reaction to his bickering about it.

Now that you know... isn't this thread hilarious?

Mark Knopfler the lead singer and master guitarist stopped using that word in live performances over a decade ago.

The DJ mentioned a few other songs that have had words censored out but pointed out that Eric Claptons Cocaine hasn't been censored.
