This is why I don't really PvP since the changes. The worst part is because of what was said earlier about short lived mezzes, you don't always even know when RttC has dropped.

Now I'm not an experienced PvPer like some are but some of the people that I do PvP against do get into melee range and not having the regen boost hurts. Also what about things like MM pets? Do they add to the boost while in range?

Either way this power should be changed for PvP, I thought that the new PvP system allowed for this... RttC could either lose the tohit debuff completely or lose the tohit debuff and gain somewhat smaller defensive buff to replace the lost debuff.

Does SR have a self heal now? Or did you mean like Ninjitsu or Stone Armor?

I'm really interested in the magic pack as well.

No, you can't leave.

Coming late to this one but the Eden and Sewer Trial should be changed so that you can access it at any level above the level range and it should auto exemp. I've tried to find a team for the Sewer Trial before and it was just not a fun experience. Getting people above the level range wasn't a problem, the problem was that we needed to have 3 others with in the level range willing to do it. Most knew that you would get debt if you were in the correct level range and so therefore weren't interested in doing it. I thought about doing the Eden trial but after my lack of success with the sewer trial I just gave up and did radio missions or whatever and was out of the level range.

I have played:
Gemstone III, Dragon Realms, Meridian 59, Ultima Online, Everquest, Anarchy Online, Asheron's Call, Dark Age of Camelot, Star Wars Galaxies, AC 2, EQ 2, World of Warcraft, Eve, and Vanguard... I am probably leaving a few out as well.

I include GS3 and DR even though they are text-based, simply because I feel they set the foundations for what players come to expect from a massively multiplayer game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Positron. You just became one of my favorite devs . I've played GS3 into GS4. I played a little bit of Dragon Realms too but I didn't like it as much as GS. I sometimes miss the dedicated RPing in GS3, it was somewhat strict in that game.

Also, the vast majority of people have a disconnect between fantasy and reality. We know that action movies are fake, and that when you blow someone's head off in a game, that that is a GAME, and not an action to take into real life.

Young children can be much more succeptible to learning bad behavior from TV, movies, and games because they haven't had those real life experiences yet. This is why it falls to the parents to actually BE PARENTS and keep their children away from these forms of entertainment, and not to spend all that time lobbying the goverments to be a babysitter for their own kids.


[/ QUOTE ]

I would kind of agree with this, except I wouldn't say parents necessarily need to keep their kids away from this media. They need to be parents and actually try to teach their kids the difference. This is fantasy and this is reality.

If you're not going to teach them then yes maybe just withhold this kind of stuff. I just vote for the teaching method because even though you may not allow that sort of media your little kid's best friend might.

Basically, the two things that drive me crazy about the Rage crash right now is not being able to taunt, and having some mob (or player in PvP) with a tiny sliver of health left and not being able to plink them down.


[/ QUOTE ]

I agree and people have to be wondering what I'm doing when I'm in the middle of a group and their dying and I'm just standing around not attacking or anything. Something that allowed me to atleast taunt mobs that were getting squishies in trouble would be acceptable.

I like the debuff idea because I still grab agro atleast.

Fix our agro control then give us defiance and give blasters something else

[/ QUOTE ]

Give the blasters gauntlet and tanker defiance. Blasters wouldn't even notice a change in their agro

[/ QUOTE ]

I think tankers should be allowed to have "two." Brutes get single target taunt + fury . Tanker can have Punchvoke + Defiance .

Blasters can get AoE placates

Correction:
All aspects of Invincibility EXCEPT the taunt effect are working. The Taunt effect, however, appears to only be effecting minions. This is true for all auto-taunt effects, including Gauntlet.

Interestingly, while researching this problem, I discovered that Gauntlet from pool powers like Boxing or Air Superiority have, apparently, never worked. That'll be fixed as well.

[/ QUOTE ]
No wonder I've always felt the Gauntlet inherent power was worthless. My tanker dips heavily into pool powers for extra attacks (Boxing, Kick, Air Superiority, and Flurry).

Not that I find Gauntlet especially useful with my Super Strength attacks either, mind you. Gauntlet should be pulled and replaced with an ability similar to brutes' Fury power... except, instead of increasing damage as your meter builds, tankers should increase resistances.

[/ QUOTE ]

No no no no and NO. We wanted more aggro control, we asked for more aggro control, we got more aggro control. Leave our aggro control alone.

Wait, first fix our aggro control and then leave it alone.

I do not need or want more resistance, I can get buffs or inspirations to do that, I can't improve my ability to taunt otherwise.

_Castle_ just acknowledged that Invincibility is bugged. The taunt is apparently not working properly either.

I knew something was wrong it was the first thing I told my teammates when I helped in an 8 man team. They said I was doing fine as a tanker heh. Now I feel worthless, come to find out I wasn't really doing anything but attacking..

I hopped on my level 8 ice tank and his taunt aura seemed to work fine.

I don't know if that means anything but I'm almost positive I had a problem with invincibility earlier.

<QR>

To kind of add insult to injury the illusion controller's Phantom Army held agro really well. Also there doesn't really seem to be a problem on my fire brute, he holds agro really well, almost too well.

<QR>

I just made a post similar to this about my Invincibility.

It felt like my provoke was the only thing that actually attracted mobs.

Yeah wow. I thought this was a thread I had missed so I kept clicking the link and got nothing. Finally I looked up at the date of the first post and saw it said ??/??/04. Heh.

Congratz everyone!

Cookie Girl, rawr.

Great job contestants.

And seriously that's my question. Who is Cookie Girl heh

This may have already been said, but I wish there was something for RPing. For instance my favorite part about this game is how you can create any concept for a character. I have a Martian Manhunter concept. One for Blade. One for what I would be able to do if I were in CoH ( MA/SR ). One for what I wish I could do if I were a super hero.

To me that doesn't really go with story line.

About the new sets though, do you think maybe they'll do some transfers? Like bringing Ninjitsu to Scrappers and whatnot?

Name: The Young Guns

Leader:NightwoIf

Officers: Shadow Squirrel, Wunderkind, Black Lancer

Method of Contact: In game tell and website.

Description: The Young Guns is a mild RP supergroup for Paragon City's young heroes, under age 23. Majority of the group is very active, and we also have quite a few members, atleast 30 I am on a different computers so I can't get the full details. Please visit our website or send a tell for more details or questions.

I need help because I'm not numerically inclined...

For those where you gave 2 percentages (e.g. Force Bolt for Defenders) - what does the 1st vs. the 2nd # mean?

[/ QUOTE ]
I think it means, for example, 8% chance to drop one toggle, 2% chance to drop a second, and 0.whatever chance for both to happen.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's what I thought but then how do you explain this?

[ QUOTE ]
Defender Storm Summoning: Thunder Clap: 12% and 2% for 1 Toggle; 0.4% chance of 2 Toggles

[/ QUOTE ]

Is that saying there's a 12% chance to drop the first and a 2% chance of dropping two in one hit? with the chance of dropping a second toggle after dropping a first equal to .4%. I can't say I'm always the best with math but that seems kind of confusing.

Yeah I asked about this in another board, but I thought these were going away. Did they say anything about the the no more one shot thing in the test I forgot to look.

Ahahaha, jumping with sprint off is still like an 8 foot vertical jump. We are all probably level -20 considering it's almost impossible to sprint 20 MPH forever and jump over trucks.

But let's see... I guess I would be like a level 0 MA/SR scrapper. I have a black belt in taekwondo and take MMA, I weigh 175 pounds at 5'9", can run a mile in 6 minutes, have 32 inch vertical, bench press 225 pounds, deadlift and squat 315 pounds, and uh... play lots of video games. And eat. haha

[/ QUOTE ]

Well if you're only a level 10 then I'm around a level 6 MA/SR I used to have a brown belt in karate but I haven't stayed with it. I'm still in good physical condition though, I've played soccer for most of my life.
