Back then I could understand the desire for perma-hasten, more than two SOs worth of recharge in every power so you could skip recharge on powers and go four or five slots on damage. But now, with ED and all it seems, well insane to me to devote so much effort to get that extra 175% recharge simply to get 70% more.

To me it's like trying to relive the days you had a cool tree fort so you first go out and buy a house that has a really big tree so you have a place to rebuild it.

Ah ok, so every other AT has to function in both their roles and otherwise they will be kicked but your brute can neglect his secondary, ignore aggro management completely and play like some kind of stalker... nice one... and then you even dare to tell me I'am the one which dosnt know how to play his AT... ignorance at its finest

I had this more often then enough: I throw an AoE immobilze into the enemies and a few seconds later I'am dead because the brute isnt using taunt, aura or even aoe because he prefers to punch something with his single target attacks cause he "isnt a tanker".

If I want to kite enemies in circles across half the map because nobody is holding aggro I dont need a team... I just need to log on my lvl30 Blaster and set the difficulty to x8 -.-

In answer to the actual question you posed, I didn't realize it had ever been there in the first place, leading me to believe that it may have been a bug and wasn't intended to be there.

Sacred: Dedicated to or set apart for the worship of a deity.
: Made or declared holy
: Of or relating to religious objects, rites, or practices.


so ya names in video games aren't sacred even if you decide to make the Pope himself.
So like the pvp crowd and peeps on the forums the people that quit the game over a name are most likely a very vocal minority.

You know, speaking of I <3 Team, I've been playing Alien Swarm lately, on recommendation, and I've noticed something interesting. Like in L4D, in Alien Swarm you succeed on teamwork and staying together. This doesn't stop some ******** from going Rambo and running ahead of everyone else, apparently intent on soloing the entire mission. Never you mind that an officer can't do squat with a control panel when the tech is seven rooms back with the rest of the team, but hey, what do I know. I'm not elite enough to play alone on Hard.

Know what's really fun, though? These guys ALWAYS rush ahead and get killed by swarms of aliens with no medic to heal them and no support to save them. And I just laugh and laugh as they rage-quit. At least I assume they rage-quit. Every time this has happened and we ended up completing the mission without the self-important dick, he hasn't been there after the end, so he clearly quit. I like to think it was a rage-quit.

See, this is what pisses me off about people who thing the world revolves around them. There's this guy who rushes off a head, clearly incapable of doing EVERYTHING alone, and why? Does he assume we'll just naturally follow him into our deaths? You know, as opposed to letting him get himself killed if he won't stick with the team? Because that's usually the only cure for that sort of player. He's used to always having people in tow to save him, but he doesn't care to work with these people. So fine. Go ahead and die. Next time you want to live, stick with the team so we can move together.

What about characters that have invested billions into so many IO set bonuses that even at the highest difficulty setting they are virtually impervious? And the challenge of practically any mission is all but gone? I feel sorry for those folks.
