If you want to buy brass for 500, go ahead and put in a bid at 500, your chances are as good as mine, and you will get your brass after a few hours or a couple of days.
Well, until you make new bids at 502! But that just means I'll make newer bids at 503.
Until you make even newer bids at 504... -

Yes, it's dead. There's no polite way to say it: anyone who has components made in the last 3 years and is still using XP is either ignorant of what's going on or stubborn to the point of ignoring what's going on aorund them. There are, plainly put, limitations to what XP can DO, and if you've bought a recent computer, XP 32 is foolish. XP 64 even more useless. It doesn't matter that 1 in three people have their craniums buried in their rectums. Technology _has_ to move on.
Yay! Welcome to the fold.

I have come to the conclusion that there simply must be different versions of City of Heroes in existence. That's the only explanation I can come up with for the wide discrepancy in reported player experiences about the same topic.

Well now, there's a lesson here about not using your real name when you make up these accounts in the first place.
Also: If by some freakish chance someone gets stalked, or gods forbid something worse, that might lead to some litigation. Maybe that will get the EFF and ACLU involved. Maybe that'll get appealed all the way to the Federal Supreme Court. Maybe it'll cause such a huge debacle that they'll just decide to shut down all the forums to all their games permanently.
Then maybe Usenet will get popular again, especially the alt groups, where it was always easy to be anonymous!
Yeah. -
I'm voting for this idea of no more base rent. It's a holdover from an aspect of the game that just never worked out.

You know, I find it oddly sad and depressing that people feel the need to make personal slurs like this, and then pat each other on the back for it. I have said nothing insulting or offensive to you, yet you find it necessary make this kind of thing your main contribution to the thead. What, did I run over your mother or something?
This is a usual pattern. I come in and say I'm done with a thread, and a few individuals come back for a parting insult or two, knowing I will be back to respond to the insults.
Say whatever you like from now on. I am done here, the thread has served its purpose, and some illumination has been achieved. Thank you all.
They will be waiting patiently for you to post again. And when you start another thread, they will immediately pounce with great vengeance and furious anger! It won't even matter what the topic is. You could make a post about how great wheat bread is, and they'll come up a billion reasons why white bread is best and tell each other how much of a troll you are.
Your only safe option is to run away. They hope that you do, and never come back!
Believe it! -
So all beliefs are opinions? This can't bode well...

Several times I've been on all MasterMind StrikeForces, where each player had Maneuvers, Assault and Tactics. It was always so awesome to behold.

But will it work on my Commodore 64?

My bots/traps MM doesn't have Stamina, but my thugs/poison* MM does. I'm planning on getting Stamina for my demons/dark MM, but I'm debating whether or not to take the Leadership pool this time, as I did with my other two MM's.
* Actually, with only three powers taken from poison! Rounded out the rest with Medicine and Leadership, so that I could have two rezzes and Vengeance; great for teams when things aren't going so well! -

Quote:I'll admit that I rather enjoy spending money on buying individual cards nowadays. That was something I couldn't do back when I started playing the game, and it made things such a drag for me.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
I play a very budget limited Type 1.5, so I'm pretty much monocolored decks. I've got one I call "Bounce, Counter, BOOM!" which revolves around bouncing and countering your stuff until I wipe you clean with flying creatures and the ... big 6/6 creature that lets me steal spells when I counter them, but I can't remember it's name.
I stumbled up the very cheesy combo of using Isochron Scepter with Counterspell, and later Terminate. I've since stopped using that. It was just too much! Ten years ago, I made up a blue/red creatureless deck centered around REB/BEB, chaoslace and thoughtlace. Very very cheesy. I don't do that sort of thing anymore! lol
<mcp>I'd like to go up against you and see what you're made of...</mcp>Quote:My other good one is a black cleric/zombie deck that kills you by sacrificing my creatures. Yes, you read that right.
OMG, even against that many Sappers? You da man!Quote:My crowning moments of awesome you can see in my video, linked in my sig. Also completing an MoSTF without any outside buffs. That was glorious. -
Quote:You should see the dragon and thallid deck I'm building. Purely defensive for the first four to six turns (which it is good at being!), and after that, at least one dragon will pop out every turn thereafter. That deck has four Dragon Broodmothers in it. With all those saprolings lying about... yum!Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
You mean I'm not the only one who still plays!?!?! Damnit, why are there no tourneys in my area...
I tend to hamper myself by insisting my decks all be highly thematic. That means that I'll actually choose not to include a specific card, even if it would give me a clear advantage, simply because it would be thematically incongruous. That just means I have to be even more creative in my deck building strategy and card synergy.
My WP/DB tank was difficult to build right. I've had to spend quite a bit of influence on HO's and IO sets and individual procs. It's totally been worth it though. I've gotten a lot of compliments playing that tank; there've been a few times when the rest of the team was wiped and I was still going, and I managed to clear out the entire room all by myself. No one went to the hospital, they just watched me and rezzed as soon as the room was clear. Those are my crowning moments of awesome.Quote:My DA/fire tank is my end hog. Dark Armor is notorious for this aspect, and I could only devote two slots to stamina, and I run tough/weave in addition to all the other resistance/damage toggles. Before I even started IOing, I didn't have a problem with endurance. Now that I've got the +end proc in Dark Regen, I never run dry.
Just build smart and play smart.

Well, to offer up my own reasons for disliking Ultimo, it's that I think that he wants to make this game so easy that I wouldn't want to play it any more.
Also, he seems to have, in most threads I've seen him in before, no concept of the need for balance in the game. He seems to want everyone to be overpowered, and when he doesn't want that, he wants only some ATs to be overpowered, regardless of what that would do to the other ATs.
Do I think that he deserves the sheer amount of bile that he gets on this forum? No. Do I think he has a grasp of what this game really is? No. Do I think that he sometimes can't divorce the need for a game to have balance with the comic-book world it is inspired by? Yes. Those are my only problems with him. -
Quote:I kind of relate it to how I play Magic the Gathering. Part of the strategy is in building your deck in the first place. You can't just mush together a bunch of random cards willy-nilly and with no thought to it, and expect to win; no matter how great a player you are otherwise! The other part is in knowing what all your cards do and being able to combine their effects well.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
I completely agree, especially with the part I have bolded. Proper slotting of attacks plays a key role in the management of your endurance bar, as does intelligently playing the character.
With proper slotting and knowledge of all the powers at my disposal, my defenders have very little downtime. Whenever that isn't the case, I will try and see what I can do to work around that the next time, or what I can do to change my play style with that character.
Of course, my WP/DP tank is very much an endurance hog. Mostly because I insist on using Focused Accuracy from the Energy Mastery set (I enjoy having maxed out perception!). I've since managed to compensate for that by having three sets of Performance Shifter in Quick Recovery, Stamina and Physical Perfection. Indeed, the only time I've ever had to stop and rest with that tank is when going up against Reichsman. :P -
Quote:What makes you such a pariah? So far, of the people who don't like you, only one of them has even bothered to be courteous to me. And another one of them was just outright foaming-at-the-mouth insane. That makes me wonder exactly what's going on here.Originally Posted by Ultimo_
Welcome to my world. This happens in every thread I make, no matter what I'm posting about.
Since I prefer to think for myself, and I don't remember seeing your posts before, and you've been relatively civil so far, I choose to treat you neutrally.
That insane guy though... uhm, yeeeeeah.... -
Quote:Well I guess I could try and bring this thread back to its relevant topic, which I believe wasn't "Ultimo is the devil!" LOLOriginally Posted by Ultimo_
I said there was a problem because defenders have less damage per endurance when that topic was brought up in discussion. I didn't bring it up.
Defenders do have less damage per attack but with the same endurance consumption as blasters, it's true. But I think that difference is either negligible or manageable, depending on your specific build and play style. -
Quote:I'm sorry, I think I should have politely asked you to take off the tin foil hat.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Seriously, you all have such a negative bias against this guy that you could "read between the lines" if he said water was wet. If you disagree with him, fine. But this paranoid behavior is laughable. -
Quote:On this forum? Surely you must be joking!Originally Posted by Ultimo_
I don't know what these posts add to the discussion. The thread had moved on to some interesting discussion regarding ways to alleviate endurance issues, and then this personal attack starts again. Can't you people have a rational discussion without attacking me?
I play defenders very well solo, which apparently is supposed to be impossible, but... eh! I have no qualms with their endurance consumption rates, and I almost always employ the use of the fitness pool and IO set bonuses. No big deal.Quote:Once again, I never mentioned my Defender. I have said, again and again, that I'm interested in making life better for everyone.
Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to rely greatly on our own point of view.Quote:Accusing someone of trolling is trolling and not allowed according to the forum rules. Either way, you're incorrect. I'm not trolling, I'm asking a question and making an honest suggestion. That is, unless you consider any question or sugestion you don't like to be trolling.
I remember a thread here on this board several months ago where someone was saying how great this "community" was. It was all that I could do to stop laughing. I've seen more civil behavior on Furry web boards, and they're a pretty vindictive bunch!
They're minds are made up. You're the antichrist. You might as well go driving around putting babies on spikes!Quote:Show me ANY "knowing untruth" I've posted. I NEVER deliberately mislead in ANY of my posts, and I find it VERY insulting to be accused of lying in this or any other way. -
Quote:What?Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Thus why I said I can read between the lines. It's a phrase to say that I can see what you're trying to get at or where you're coming from when you've actually typed something else.
Wait, you mean you're not supposed to ever play solo with a defender? This is news to me...Quote:You think it's unfair and unequal for blasters to do more damage per endurance than defenders. You complain about how much endurance it takes you to solo. I can pretty much figure out that you're soloing defenders. -

I noted that the introduction of merits, which was a gigantic supply nerf, was greeted with hosannas and open arms by the general public, to illuminate the reality that ignorant people who don't understand their environment often hold opinions that are not true.
I'm serious; I'm getting bored with merely growing the amount of play money I have in a single game. I'd much rather do this for real! -
I've made my peace with the new UI. I've gotten used to its quirks and I'm having fun playing with the market again.
Soon enough I will have more billionaires. Muhahaha, etc. -
Quote:I'm rather surprised that anyone on this board even bothered to tell me something like this. I mean, seriously, thank you for being thoughtful.

Coyote Seven: I know it's a long thread, but if you go back and read Ultimo's posts, they contain knowing untruths. I disproved one of them and he responded with a pathetic attempt at bullying, followed by continuing to claim the false statement.
If that's not a liar, what is?
I've never read a single post by Ultimo before this thread and I really don't care what he thinks. I don't see a problem with endurance in this game and I don't know why anyone is even taking this idea seriously. It's a total joke what with how long and heated this thread has become. You'd think that Ultimo had some magic power to influence the devs into making unnecessary changes! -
