This is really unfortunate. To have to be forced to group. I like to team, but there are many times when I play for 30 min to 1 hr. I want to finish a mission and then log out. This really puts a crimp in the ability of the casual gamer to play.

The original draw of CoH was that you did not have to team (save for TFs, trials, the AV missions). Now it is becoming like every other MMORPG. Forced Grouping.

Yep. I'll grant one of those original wishes.

Maybe two.

I hope it's snow and abominable snowman. Er, maybe santa hat. No, snowman. Hat. Snowman.

Oh come, on give us 3?

Maybe we'll get a hat inspiration for defeating a snowman that will allow us to use INT and IH at the same time

You guys ever get a temp power that you ordinarly wouldn't get in your AT? Scrapper's get an energy torrent range attack, or ice armor temp power, etc? Fun huh?

Did it unbalance the game? Nope. Make people not group? Nope.

This will be a little more granted, since they will be permenant and slotable, but the same. A scrapper with throwing stars will still be a scrapper, and will still act like a scrapper in a group.

It will be ok....

omg please tell me your not serious. I'm not saying its game breaking, but if you don't think having ranged and a hold attack will change their entire way of gaming, then you aren't playing your characters well. I would take full advantage of that situation, using ranged first to take out my ranged enemies or put them on the ground, once thats done its hold I get to melee and its all over...thank you, goodnight.

So are you calling for a nerf of the spines set? I have two ranged attacks in my powerset (impale and throw spines). I start off by throwing impale at my enemies..if they run I stop them with impale..and it slows them or stops them for a bit as well.

thanks dude

Soon is good enough for me if the tests on the training server go well. I would rather have a non-buggy product later rather then sooner.

Please do not nerf blasters or any AT. If people are made to feel less powerful and a superhero they will not have fun.

No fun = No play = No money.

I hate to see ANY group nerfed. Buff some tanks and DA and leave the rest alone.

So yoiur saying blasters who can kill a +2 mob in 3 hits is okay. Even for superheroes somethign is wrong there.

[/ QUOTE ]
God I wish I could kill a +2 mob in one freaking hit man. I don't know.

Is this actually true? I think your getting your information wrong somewhere. I am 75% sure that MOST Blasters could not kill a +2 in one hit unless they were hugely buffed, and the enemy was hugely debuffed.

Or perhaps it was an Underling

I team up with a lot of blasters, and I've never seen that happened.

He said three hits, not one.

With BuildUp+Aim+Snipe, I can in one hit for non-resistant minions like 5th. DE...forget about it. Have also gotten really lucky and taken down a squad of Red Con 5th minions with Nova (BuildUP+Aim+Nova)

Remember this is for minions. Lts and bosses take a lot of work and flying around or running back and forth. I can only take down purples with some defender/controller help.

Not for minions. Minions=mooks=cannon fodder. They should go down in droves.

"Massive AOE Alpha Strikes"

Yes... I was just wondering about those. I realize that Fire Blasters and the Flame Thrower Power for AR Blasters are a problem, but my main is a 29 Energy Blaster just about to get Nova.

I don't know what to say, other than Energy Blasters have only three AOE attacks: Energy Torrent which is a cone Moderate damage power, Explosive Blast which is a moderate AOE damage attack that actually doesn't do much until you six slot it (and even then it misses a lot), and of course Nova which is an Extreme Damage/Knockback AOE.

I just think that maybe certain Blaster AOEs could be toned down, yes, but please remember that Energy Blasters already don't get many AOEs...

Let's just hope I3 is tested a LOT more than I2 was before official release.

Issue 3 is in internal test already. QA reports suggest that it is already better than sucktastic. Your mileage may vary.

I know..Kings Row gets the shaft constantly. No one wants to put a bookstore or a Starbuck's or an Enchanement shop there. It is always dirty looking. Skulls everywhere.

It was a tough decision, but in the end, since there was a line grumbling more by the second, I went with "Cthulhu".

Well geez, what are the other choices? Tweedledum and Tweedledumber? The next four years are really gonna suck.

[/ QUOTE ]

LOL! I was thinking of writing in Cthulhu also.

Course answering the following question may sway my vote. Why during the distribution of the antidote to the Unity Plague do we ignore Kings Row.? [cut] But poor Kings Row, I feel the ignoring of such a zone of poverty is a issue that needs to be addressed. So how would you address this candidates?

LOL! We're doing Survival of the Fittest in our P&P Shadowrun campaign.

Anyway everyone knows that you should vote for Cthulhu for President. Vote for the Greater Evil.

I am excited about the skill system since now my characters backgrounds as scientists, detectives, etc can now be explored.

I have to admit, I did become frustrated when I tried to solo a mission in the Hollows (Defeat Outcast, mission #2). However, undaunted, I called a friend...a defender, and made a new one (scrapper) who accidentally dragged 2 troll lts to us. We completed the mission with patience and I got to use taunt to good effect and we beat Bedrock after a tough fight.

It was very satisfying. So now I'm not so mad about the +1 bug. Concerned that it will prevent most ATs from soloing, however.

I was wondering the same. My blaster at 24th can take them out with patience, but my tanker at 11th cannot even with multiple dmg, acc inspirations, I cannot do enough damage than he can regen.
