Unpossible, the devs can only rehash tired old content.

this is what we all thought with I14

[/ QUOTE ]Why? We were specifically told i14 would mostly just be the Mission Architect and some minor fluff. You're naturally going to disappoint yourself if you make expectations like that.

I wish you years of enjoyment in what you will experience in Paragon if you have not experienced all it has to offer so far. But as far as Veterans voicing informed opinion, I put it to you they possibly have a more comprehensive knowledge of whats rehash-packaged-as-new and what is actually new.

[/ QUOTE ]I'm not going to lie and pretend I'm going to be playing CoX forever, myself. I can sense that these frustrated veterans are bored of the game itself though, and seem to be asking for an entirely new game to play to get rid of their boredom. This isn't going to happen in CoX anytime soon. The devs keep tweaking old content because most of it was poorly designed in the beginning (y'all can thank the folks over at Cryptic for that when you migrate to CO).
Sure, at this point it might actually be more productive to restart from zero, but that'd simply kill the game instantly. The best they can offer us is shinies to distract us until they get things the way they want them to be. If you can't wait - which is understandable if you've been playing upwards of three years - then maybe it's time to just move on? Make room for the younger generation without suffocating them (us?) with b*tching we've all heard before a hundred times? All the shinies you could ask for won't keep you excited for over a week anyway.
(That last one wasn't directed at anyone in specific, mind you, just the ones that make it sound like the devs are violating their civil rights by not making i15 spawn superheroine prostitutes in their room when they turn the game on, to service them orally.)

If you don't like that then please, feel free to not read my posts.

[/ QUOTE ]Is there some kind of handy forum function I could use to just hide them? Just asking.

I'm not particularly optimistic or pessimistic. I'm just not bored with the game yet. But then again, I've been playing for less than 15 months, so maybe I'm still a wide-eyed newbie.

Sorta hope we get more proliferation though. Saw a Martial Arts/Stone Armor custom boss in a MA mission and I want to make a toon that can kick people in the face with a rock-encased foot.

I guess I also don't really know what else I'd WANT from i15. A graphics overhaul? The idea's been thrown about, but the graphics in CoX feel above average for an MMORPG to me anyway; I guess CO might seem threatening in that sense, though.
I'm content with shiny stuff like more costume change emotes and a new SF. Wish it were 30-35 though, nasty SF gap there.

[ QUOTE ]
Could you all just go instead of complaining that you're going to go?

[/ QUOTE ]Would be kinda nice, considering they've been threatening to leave for... how many issues now, 3, almost 4? I dunno, I haven't been registered long enough to know if it's been any longer than that. Gets kinda old, we get it already...

Weren't we supposed to get more Proliferation too? [ QUOTE ]
We're sick and tired of the ever present "Soon", which never actually arrives.

[/ QUOTE ] To be fair, this isn't really any different from any other MMORPG out there today.

It takes some seriously good writing to turn the player into a secondary character and actually do it well. Seriously good to a point that I haven't seen in the MA yet.

Just because an arc was made in beta doesn't mean it's likely to be better than newer ones - just look at the Dev Choice arcs.

Gah, I was replying to the thread title and you know it.

And many more to come!

[/ QUOTE ]Just a friendly tip to all Architects out there, Word is less talented at fishing out errors than a 7th-grader. Don't trust it.

Dark Melee really doesn't count.

Flurry is single target?

SFMA - Sweet Farming Mission Arc

Will resume reviews after Tuesday's events.

[/ QUOTE ]Get rid of that endurance hog and buy a KB protection IO or two. Steadfast Protection, Karma, or Blessing of the Zephyr.

Soul Transfer deals a mag 30 Stun for 11,9 seconds to all surrounding foes, revives you with 30 endurance and 15% HP (both enhanceable) per foe nearby, and makes you Untouchable for 10 seconds - perfect safety for retoggling. If you're going to die you're going to have foes nearby anyway - otherwise, why would you be dead? Just use it the moment you die and you'll be fine. It's one of the self-rez powers in the game that do not suck, and this is coming from a guy who generally dislikes self-rez powers. It even helps your team with the stun.

Don't bother with Weave unless you plan to heavily IO-set to the point where you'll have high defense. This is expensive. Tough is fine, though.

[ QUOTE ]
1 minute duration with 15 second down-time, does that not mean you have 15second recharge i.e like 4x perma "god-mode" ?

Fury

[/ QUOTE ]Example: Power has 1 minute duration, 3 minutes recharge. Downtime is 2 minutes.

This thread gave a nice laugh to start my morning with. Thanks, OP.

SSTF1 in one sitting.

I wish I had some sort of Power of the Phoenix style ability that I could use on my Arsonist...

[ QUOTE ]
The only utility (PvE wise) scrapper epics offer are FA (but then a couple of Acc set bonuses is basically the same) and Conserve Power for those who need it.

[/ QUOTE ]Tenebrous Tentacles, Caltrops?

Loved the TT -> Burn combo on my Spines/Fire/Dark, anyway.

[ QUOTE ]
Off Topic, but don't bother with Triumphant Insult, either - that's broken, too.

^Thus^

[/ QUOTE ]I thought it was more that the effect (mag 1 stun) is unnoticeable because it only affects Underlings. Or does it not even do that anymore?

Likely, because it came right back up again just as suddenly.

I've noticed that a few high-level villain arcs have map markers for objectives on outdoor maps... Need more of that.
