Mission customization: Choosing between "regular" mobs and +2 level mobs is not really what I would call a customized mission.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sigh. That isn't at all what I meant. Mission Customization means, well, a mission has been customized. It's where we go back over old missions and add new art & functionality.

Trying to make a post that does not out right say
"Give it up Statesman" but I can not find any other words....

For everything you and the other Devs do that makes 3/4 of the people happy, you will always have the knit pickers, nay sayers, the "what about ME" people and the just people who complain in general. Sorry to see your SIGH because if you took the time to write it, I wonder how long it took you to actually do it

There are those of us that are happy with the changes and the game and dont tear apart everything you say till it is distorted to the point that is NOT what was said, implied, or commented on. PLEASE I love hearing your thoughts (Like the Tanker issues) but be warned, if you even breath a thought, well, you might as well write it in stone, because that is how it will be taken... (look at the EPPs...)

OH and just a note... (In a Mothers voice) You need to know that if you are on a holiday break, although we love hearing from you guys LEAVE THE WORK AT WORK!!!! Take your break or you will be the ones getting burned out!!! and THAT will not be good for the game... No need to post right before you plan on catching a plane home, you should have been saying bye to the family and all... That goes to all of you. (OK I am done with the overbearing Mothering voice. )

OK here is a thought... Question.... or whatever you wanna call it.

I play a Nat. Tanker (Medieval Hope on INF. lvl 33 ATM)... All my power can be explained in the way that "fits". She is INV (without U.S. Just can handle that when I was knocking back the baddies and had to run after them, since I made it so far without... just done feel like I needed it... but that is another story) The INV comes from her Medieval Armor and her skills in fighting/Dodging (love to watch her sway away from the punches BTW). Her secondary is Battle Axe hence all the new powers with that come from skill again Fitness... well you have to be fit to fight like she does. Provoke... WELL How you YOU like a ticked off Female with a battle Axe in full armore coming after you to arrest you?? (All the movement powers were too hard to fit, so S.J. was the one I liked that could get me everywhere I needed to go)

Although I have not got to see them yet, (Not high enough) I do have to wonder about the EPP's for the tankers... they all sound so.... UN Natural I mean it is hard enough to try to fit S.J. in there, I dont know how to add in Ele. Beams shooting from my eyes..... Any chance of getting some EPPs in all ATs that seem more... natural for those of us that take Natural.???

Just a thought....
As it stands, I will more than likly not be taking an EPP, BUT then I lose a whole chance at a power pool slot and 4 more powers to pick from... Acrobatics and Combat jumping, the other 3 in presence and Hurdle are not needed. So other than blowing it to just lvl up, not worth the picks... I planned on Leadership, but alot say it is not worth a Tank taking... That would have been worth all 4 powers BUT since I eat END, I dont think it would help that much... So from here I will have 6 new powers coming, and nothing that really fits, other than 3 that are in my main pool sets that I like, which will leave me needing 3 more...

(Unless the new Fear changes work in the power pools too and I misread it... Now that would be worth taking )

Also Please do look at the END cost it now take for Tanks to arrest the higher HP minions... I have a choice right now: I can have my Toggles up and be safe and do a very long battle OR Drop the toggles and hope for the best. ((Really really sad when you cannot take a group of 7 total in Crey that codes Green Minions Blue LTs and 1 white Boss and go down in a heap because your Toggles all dropped and you stay mezed till the trip to the Hosp. THAT for a tank is slow and painful.... ))

You know... this is not April so no April fools day jokes....

Did he really really say that??? MAN I just gotta know for for sure... Any of it would be cool!!!!

Great, Thanks, Good Job..etc... NOW I will be sitting on Pins and Needles till we hear more about this.... (this is just like when the older brothers and sisters (11 of us total and I am the baby) would say "We know what you got.... EVERY Christamas....) I think you should be moved to the naughty list now... For teasing the rest of us!!!

Is it really real???? Twinkles of hope glimmering in BIG wondering eyes

I would rather have a vague DEV post than no DEV post at all.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's my feeling, too. Sometimes I don't know anything more definite than "we're going to address it sometime..." There's ALOT of people working on City of Heroes, and sometimes I post just keep the forum readers in the loop. Maybe the person responsible for the tweak/change isn't around when I'm typing - or maybe we haven't set up a meeting yet for a final decision. No great conspiracy or anything - I just like telling you guys what I know.

You just like us drooling all over your posts and you know it

I think he is getting into compitition with CuppaJo for shrines and declarations of love ...... Well Being female I can say it and not feel weird... LOVE YOU STATES

OK QUESTION: The Tank Argo, in what form is that, just a natural argo, or will it be linked to one of the Taunt type powers? If it is Natural, will it override someone else hitting them like Taunt does?

/emote praise Oh Bless you Martin

And Thanks Statesman for letting us know and listening to this one. This was the big drawback of being a Melee person(IMO).

OUR TIME WILL COME!!!!

Best watch your backs now Runners!!!!

SAD SAD day when cute little CuppaJo goes bad....

WAIT!!!!

I wonder if she know who voted what way....

Can I change my vote

....No.....

Oh NO do I still have time to VOTE???

Thinks about it for a minute

WHO WOULD I VOTE FOR!!!!

[ QUOTE ]
Voting Lord Recluse & CuppaJo. They actually have plans for the war.

[/ QUOTE ]

HHHmmm makes me wonder if that means we will see a recession under them.

WAR=Debt

All low lvl Heroes should have the right to vote for someone planning on adding to the debt factor!!! Who cares if they are not the right age/lvl! I mean they are the ones that get stuck with it!

VOTE.... ummm..... dang 1/2 way through the day now and I am still a swing voter!!!

Who has what again?? I thought I liked my first choice, now all these other options are opening up....
OH PIE who has PIE??? I want PIE!!! I think I vote for them!

Our platform includes:

<ul type="square">[*]Improved Mind Control and Regen Powersets[*]A new AT - the Togonians[*]MORE LOST IN KING'S ROW![*]PIE! We are the only party offering PIE![/list]
No matter how you vote, your government will be stupid. Shouldn't they be good at it? Vote Stupid in 2004!

You are offering Pie???? Now I am all confused!!!

I must now be one of the coveted SWING voters

Lord Recluse / CuppaJo '04

The REAL Axis of Evil

Muhahahahahahahahaha!

[/ QUOTE ]

She said it herself!!!!

COME ON WHAT MORE PROOF DO YOU NEED

VOTE STATESMAN

And all you CuppaJo lovers out there, you can still love her without voting for her!!!

I am crying FOUL now!!!

Even Statesman has said the Avg. is about 3 to 1 (Minion v/s Hero) If the Villians are scaring up the votes. Think about how skewed this election is going to be!!!!

I think Heros should get 3 votes on a number system like that. I will take this as high as the Council too!!!

VILLANS AND HEROS
Vote 4 Statesman!!! He is all for the better quality of life of all of us!!!

CAN"T WE ALL BE FRIENDS I mean look at it, he gave you all the Hazard Zones to do with as you please....
If you Vote Statesman He will provide Weed-eaters for all in Perez Park!!!

STATESMAN '04!!!

You know what I heard!!!

I heard that Lord R and CuppaJo are planning on challenging the Voters!!!
It is true! I read it this morning in the Paragon Times
They are going to send reps to all the polling stations to challenge the voters right to vote in age (Guess you have to be above the lvl 18) and Residency (Better not be an Alien!!!)
Could this be the intro to DvP (Dev vs Player)

What is the world coming to??

VOTE STATESMAN He will not nerf YOUR right to vote!!!

Statesman is the shoe in!!!!
He was a natural born politician!!!! I mean look at how he answers the tough answers!!! (sorry L.R. and Cuppajo, I mean you just dont have the ablitly to answer in a answer yet run around format that is a must for any good politician)

Statesman/Positron '04 all the way Baby!!!

OH NO!!!! I forgot to register!!!! I was running around and doing so many missions that I just forgot!!!

You will most likely do this event during hours when us West Coast folks are working and cannot take part. Par for the course.

If you are going to build a 24/7 gaming service you need to attempt to make sure all paying customers in all time zones can take part in "events", not just do them when it is convenient because the Cryptic employees punch out when many of us are logging in.

Did you want some Cheese??

To go with your whine..

This was not THE event, it was a test. Nothing more and nothing less than that. The test was to ensure that all things went well for THE event. Better to have them test for 20 mins WHILE THEY ARE WORKING to make sure all is right. Than to have a bunch of people crying the blues this weekend. Not fair for the Devs to have to stay late just so some people can be there. Not only that, but then it cuts in to their time to fix things if they are wrong.

As to when they are doing THE event, I am sure it is going to be longer than 20 mins since the artical said Halloween WEEKEND. If you have to work the whole weekend 24 hours straight, then I feel for you. But before you start whining about it, why dont you wait and see what they are doing.

You can please some of the people all the time, but you will never be able to please All the people even some of the time.
