Apparently:

"Bend over backward" = "buy the game for me or send free code", and:
"elitists" = "people who don't buy the game for me or send free code"

Though I do have to wonder... if $40 (or whatever) is too much, causing one to look at another game... what do the other games looked at cost? Seems to me it's a choice between paying $40 for this, $40 for something else, kvetching about not being able to play this free or tracking down another free game.

Did I miss an option?

Personally, every time I see or hear a green/sour grapes reference, the first thing that comes to MY mind is "Foxes eat grapes?"

Haven't tested safeguards yet, but there are still extensive problems with mayhems:

1) Longbow and hero spawns are still unable to reach the downstairs vaults. They apparently get "lost" in the elevator. Am starting to think this is somehow tied to the recent "WALK thru doors/portals/etc" animation change.
2) Spotted several Longbow Eagles flying thru walls, buildings, the ground. Subsequently was attacked by several that "appeared out of nowhere", apparently by flying thru the building walls from outside the bank. On the "plus" side, flying this way appears to save them from being "eaten" by the carnivorous elevators.

Was going to try another civil response to your... response... and realized it too would likely be a waste of time.

Visit all the stops on the Ferry (same badge for red and blue lines).

Leaving aside the (apparently intentional) tone of your response, there's something to be said for the fact that, even if the devs intended the arc to be a "team thing", a great many players may view the whole concept of becoming an Incarnate as a personal, and private, thing... i.e. solo. Pulling him from the source of his "near invulnerability" was a perfectly valid tactic that ANY character could attempt, as opposed to A) knocking him into the lava, B) teleporting him there, or C) taking out each of his clones as they appear before he can fully regenerate. There are a great many toons that won't have access to A and B if they have the "wrong" powersets, and won't likely be able to manage C if they don't have either pets or sufficient damage. How long before they give him kb resistance and immunity to teleportation?

In both MMOs and in RPG campaigns (which I've run a lot of), there's a difference between trying to CHALLENGE the players, and trying to DEFEAT them. The former generally draws people TO a story, the latter drives people away. The one change smacks too thoroughly of the latter logic, to me.

I do so love being punished for sound tactical thinking.

RE: pets - my MM pets weren't making it thru elevators, nor we're they zoning into or out of the side missions OR the bank. Even the hero that came to arrest me wound up in limbo.

I believe so, but I've never actually been watching the map when it happened. Too much going on at the time.

But yes, if they don't respawn simultaneously, it has to be pretty close; I've NEVER glanced at the map and seen only some of them respawned. It's always all or none.

I'm not sure what this translates to in Mountain or Pacific Time (where I've lived since before I started playing) but, due to various job schedules, I've been in-game at all hours of the day. On Justice, get on the JFA2010 channel (if you haven't already). I've never had trouble getting a team there.

Can also lure him into the tunnel out of LoS with his clones, who all spawn in the lava room and don't move, also depriving him of the regen.

But yes, giving up after 30 min of trying the same frontal assault... try something different. And keep the notion in mind for the mission from Lady Grey, as well.

As for him being unclickable after being defeated, that's happened once with Trapdoor, in much the same way that many caves wind up "absorbing" KBed enemies into the walls, making them largely un-hittable.

HAX!!!

Hehehehe!..

Seriously though, who'd be responsible for assigning shards, assuming a RNG isn't used? Merit is fine, but the whole idea would eventually reek of favoritism!







no, not too srs

That's PLANNING, not SKILL.

We've all been duped!

You should talk! You cheat! Floating chairs don't count.

Aww man, now I'm TOTALLY bummed! I'm too po' to donate!

Maybe we should start a lop-sided butt awareness campaign on the boards! I could get behind that!

Is one side of your butt bigger than the other, too?!? That's so sad! I didn't realize this was such a widespread problem!

Is there a chairity I can donate to or something?

*gasp* Nuuuu, vdio gamz r srs bzns!!!

You're kidding, right? That's the second most outrageous thing I've read in this thread yet. Seriously, I've never even HEARD of something this preposterous.

How do you SIT long enough to even play CoH when the left side of your butt is larger than the right?
