How are you supposed to enjoy the event, when all you do is sit in a lag fest waiting so long for one power or two to fire off? I don't get how this is acceptable after all the issues that have been released. Why don't they fix the servers? In WoW you have fights against World Bosses and you don't get the lag, and there are hundreds of more players during those encounters. Why can't they fix the darn server issue to make this game more enjoyable?

Why not freeze Shivan's level at whatever level Warburg is when you go in...25 is it? I haven't been there in decades.

Just to clear up:
No, we're not discussing any changes to Shivan's or the Warburg Nukes at this time. Shivan's are easier to get than anticipated, but even that is not likely to be changed in the near future. My original post was meant to show that we knew how these powers were being used -- and that is all.

The only change I'd like to see is a mandate preventing ANYONE who uses Shivan's or Nuke's from saying they "solo'ed an AV." It just ain't right!

Good in theory, not so much in reality.

Bingo. That pretty much nails our design on bases. We're slowly but surely making additions and changes based on feedback & data. We'll get there...I think bases are a case study where a design didn't mesh well with actual gameplay! For some odd reason, some posters have thought my Serious Games speech blamed the players; heck no! Bases are 100% a DESIGN problem. Not a player problem.

Dunno if anyone else said it, but for me, the very idea that I had to purchase CoV after having been a CoH subscriber to get bases left a VERY bad taste in my mouth, and as such, bases, from the get go, were doomed for me.

The other issue for me is that they exist "outside" of the "regular" CoX world and cuts you off from contact with the virtual world. It's not integrated into the world, so why bother?

Just my 2 cents.

Nerfing the use of nerf!

Impressive list, but I wish you'd delete it for various reasons. Not the least of which has to do with nerfs. The XP range bit (avg - 2 thingee) would have staved off a lot of PLing a long time ago without numbing the rest of the power available to each character. All the other changes, especially E.D., are a disgrace and have made many once incredibly fun characters merely mediocre (shout out to regen scrappers of old !!! RIP).

For the record, I have no interest in ebay buying/selling. I'm just a nutjob. I do PLAY two at once, and quite often. I've never had an issue finding people to play with and most who PLAY with me have had no qualms whatsoever about my 2-at-once style (which I am very open and honest about).

The biggest portion of anti-PLer sentiment I've seen is from the same people who'd join the nazi's or the KKK based on what others have said -- it's an ugly group mentality, fueled by a mix of jealousy and blind faith. Those who've PLAYED with me can judge far better my ability than those who look only at my character list.

This has to be the sinlge most twisted use of "logic" to justify cheating I've ever read in my life.

I think there is a right way and a wrong way to do things. Doing things the right way takes time and effort, but it is the only way to appreciate the rewards.

PL'ing is taking a shortcut to achieve...well, to achieve big e-peenerness, I guess (just read that phrase, love it and it is so appropriate). People who PL cannot appreciate their achievements in the same way people who grind out success do. They aren't hurting non-PL'ers in any way- they are cheating themselves. Thats what cheaters ultimately do.

Justify it all you want, its no skin off my back. I don't have to make excuses or list my (dirty) laundry list of heroes and villains for all to gaze in awe at.

Why? Because I play this game for me, not to try and impress people with how many 50's I have.

A most excellent guide. I give it two snaps and a twirl.

Hi. No comments on your build other than a comment on how you formulated your build and posted it: BRAVO!

I was up last night thinking someone needs to refine builds to reflect actual gameplay rather than a straight to 50 shot of what a build would look like. Your build is much more useful for someone looking for use rather tahn a blueprint. Thank you.
