Broken Voltage

The Dev's have a track record of nerfing too heavy, but they can't let us walk on them and choose everything they do either. After their point has been made though, they need to dumb it back and change it to more on the level with the rest of the game, then things can stabilize. Right now I can see a few things that need to change.

One, they nerfed MA to the extreme. Ok, we get it, people use it as not intended. Exploits need to be smashed like a plague. But you don't need to drop a 3 ton weight on it...

Two, PVP they say its more intended for the newer coward, beginner friendly... Right that only works if there are people actually joining in pvp that haven't been there to begin with... Mod failure. Now they said that changes are down the road, but how far? 2 years, 3 years, 6 years?

Three, Though excepted part of the game now, DR. Sure it was needed and respected after a while, they went about it all wrong... it just shows that people aren't perfect.

Now you may ask what he's getting at and it's simple. Though we dont always like things the way they turn out, we would not have this awesome game with so much to it without these changes and to be honest, I would not have it anyway other way. With greater content and major changes like GR coming, I don't see things in trouble... The only thing I see could change would be advertising, I see nothing about city of heroes on tv. Maybe it's just the mid-west, but I've seen nothing on city on the tv... Marketing tactic?

This Senty guy reminds me of when I wanted to pvp with a PB, back before i13. When it hit, I give up the fight to learn pvp... Simply cause the people I pvped with left the game for those ridiculous changes. Now I just drop by every once and a while and see what the talk is about these days. Maybe when I find a set combo that I enjoy playing, and consider my main toon, I may try again. Til then, the faint gleam of hope is there quietly waiting in the back of my dreams.

But if I had to say just joining this convo after all the ranting, it's clear MA is the better choice since like 88% of the people are agreeing on MA.

I was thinkin game updates, and or forums.

I'm been on the forums lookin around at my threads for a few days now, and haven't seen any updates in a while from the devs.... any ideas another than this being a holiday...

And Wormhole has such great potential...Sad.

I'll be the first to ask then.... Still no drops rewards fix making it thur the fix tube? it's been in as long as some of the bugs sent thur all ready... :/

Again it seems the copy tool is borked again, damn my luck!

To the ouros for drops!

Well about two weeks ago I praised the devs for all the great work and time they spend fixing the game, but I can give my kind words again.

It's hard to believe it's been 3 years since I've started the game, and to be honest this is the only game I play on a regular bases and continue to improve in, and all the thanks goes to the devs for that.. If not for their great effort and countless hours of running the game, I would not be playing this game still. All the updates and fixes to the game just continue to make my game experience all the more fun and pleasurable, I truly thank you all for you iron-clad motivation and rock-hard devotion to this game. Long live CoH!!!

Well, seeing as how Syn can't seem to find our problem, no since beating a dead horse, the only thing I can think of is if someone lives in mountain view... invite him over to your house and show from your account and your toons... XD Like that's' going to happen, but for real, I've done my testing too, I don't know what to do other than running character concepts on the generator like I always do.... really no since playing my 50s. Was going to make another farmer but with the reduced drop rates not getting fixed, there's no since leveling him. He requires too many IOs and time to build up just to farming lvls, gettin there, and only gettin 4 recipes a mish, when I could just make a blaster with capped ranged def cap, and blow thur mobs with him. *shurgs*

Yep, another name to add to the list, I've also seen a nice drop in rates too. At one point I was gettin 4 purples a week on my scrapper, now on my scrapper and troller, I've got maybe 4 recipes at most a whole 4 hours of playing. I've already stopped playing alot due to the fact that its the same old crap all the time, and with reduced drop rates as the icing, I'm even less inclined to play now. Mistakes like this are saddening more than anything, and they can't seem to find the problem, and their systems are showing the same results... oh boy.

I would just ask yourself one question and not listen to people's opinion.

And that question is: Damage > Survivability?

Why is it whenever you get someone with an idea, their are always the haters coming in and bashing on the idea. I in fact support this idea, but I would change a few things around based on what I've seen the devs do.

Tier 1) Love it, but maybe change it to Scales(auto): Your body is naturally covered in scales, making you more resistant to smashing, lethal and fire.

Tier 2) Maybe not the heal just yet. Thick Skin(auto): After years of evolution, your skin has grown deeper and more resistant to cold, energy, and negative.

Tier 3) Would put the heal here. Temperature control: Rapidly raising the temperature of your body, you begin to regenerate hp faster at a increased rate, along with a small heal in hit points.

Tier 4) Good, mez pro is perfect here. Prevolution(toggle): Due to an underdeveloped brain, and over strong body, you have protection from sleep, holds, slows, repels, disorients, fear, and knockback.

Tier 5) Maybe not a damage aura, but a taunt aura instead. Hunters instinct: The more enemies in sight, the more you begin to rage adding to your damage and acc. The first enemy you see gives you the greatest bonus, with bonus range up to 10.

Tier 6) I'd put some def here. Reptile reflexes(toggle): Years of battle and survival, you have developed movements well supported for battle. Increasing your smashing and lethal def.

Tier 7) This one is perfect.

Tier 8) I've already placed these on the other powers so maybe. Armor plating(toggle): Over the years, you have adapted to your environment and evolved sturdy back armor plates increasing your def to fire, cold, energy, and negative.

Tier 9) Good tier 9, but maybe change the details. Fossilize: Thur many many years of evolution and development, you have hit the peak of your evolution tree, focusing for a couple secs you can transform your body into a living fossil and became highly resistant to all types of damage, as well as a +hp bonus, and +regen. After 3 minutes in this state you became extremely exhausted, and are drained of all your endurance, and are unable to recover for a little bit.

I can see this working with these changes it is no more than what the other armors provide, and at the same time provide a change of pace for the armors.

Man, this is bad ju ju, I hope you all over come this soon, the flu or any kind of sickness is no fun.

Ya everything else has sets except the OWS power, I just had two resists and one endo.
