    I wish I could quote your sig. I wanna make you my arch-nemesis now lmao. Do you play on Guardian at all?

    Uhh, you mean, sorta like how it works now? How many mustache-twirling marketeers do you suppose are really happy about items that clog their market slots for multiple weeks? I mean, I'm sure there's someone, somewhere, who's over-joyed at the prospect, but it ain't exactly a pressing issue. I eat listing fees all the time. I'm still way ahead.

    Then you're most likely not part of the problem, do you have 8 accounts with all toons maxed on Bm storage just holding things in bid? No? You ARE aware there are freaks that do this and they are what I would consider to be the biggest problem with this, right? You'll at least acknowledge they exist? Or is this one of those cherry picked fact tennis matches?

    Day one of launch. Don't get me wrong; the last seven years haven't been effortless for me, but whatever difficulties I've had in that time span haven't been video-game related.
    True, my idiot brother got stabbed 8 times 2 days ago and his wife just found out she's losing her job at the end of the month, and now I have serious concerns about where my Nephew is going to end up. So, if i wanna go on a BM rant cuz it's been bugging me the past 4 years, I will. :P

    No, I don't want endless solicitations of sympathy, if you're honest, thank you, my family appreciates it. But believe me when i tell you i'm just waiting for him to get better so i can thump his dumb--umm.. yeah, so i can thump him over the head a few times for his own personal stupidity as well

    *hangs head* yes, it IS a family trait, although he DID give up the game during Issue 3....

Also, interesting read, I didn't refute/dispute any part of Drop Rates, or game coding. Not in the least, I'm talking about the PEOPLE. You know... the ones that screw everything up.


    I checked your post history. You're enraged at the cost of the Gladiator's Armor +3% Defense IO.

    I don't do PVP, I have no interest in PVP sets. Read again, try again. (Sorry, I know its inflammatory but we set a mood and I have to stay in character.)

    Which happens to be the single most expensive thing in the game. 2 billion? Try 2.5 or 3 billion. Off market. You can earn one yourself, either by PVPing a lot or by accumulating 30 or 35 Alignment Merits. (I don't remember the exact number.) And that means playing, more or less, an hour a day for a month. More hours trades for less days.

    Do you want to do that?
    Or do you want ME to do that and sell it to you for cheap?
    I already do that. Except the PVP part (very casual, no real interest in that aspect) But things like an Aegis set, where a recipe goes for 40mil? For an Aegis? Really? What happened to the days when they were so worthless they were termed vendor junk?

    *scratches head* What else.... Oh, just compensation. I agree in Just compensation. I Do not believe in stalled markets on borked pricing. That kinda proves that just compensation isn't coming along...

    Well-played.
    No, I'm talking about things like Luck Charm, for 100k, really? I mean... really?

    If some idiot wants to spend 700mil on a purple, go for it. You're an idiot. That simple. Would I like to see some REALISTIC bidding going on for purples instead of the mandatory "Pfft, every fool gets impatient and will pay it eventually" Mindset? Yes, Yes, I would like to see that change. Cuz.. like I said, if it cost you 50million to put up the bid, and it didn't sell in a week, and you were forced to collect it again and spend ANOTHER 50 million waiting for that idiot.... well.... the tides have turned now haven't they? I can outlast your desire to try and score that 700mil sale, if its costing you 50mil a week to attempt it. That's how that's supposed to work.

    And I've been playing since day 3 of launch, don't try and talk to me about effort lololololol

    You already lose your listing fee. As for time sensitive... nah /unsigned.

    #3.. sure, why not.
    Of course! That's part of the point. Actually, now that you mention it, you could track it and see who is intentionally buying stuff at inflated prices just to bump up the "past 5" sells so it looks like that's "just the way the price is".

    The purpose/point of #1 is to bring more transparency to the process. The point of having the one week max for listing is to again, force the markets to move. This is an MMO, not the stock market, our pace is never, ever, going to be like that on Wall Street, and to expect otherwise is more foolish than my rantposts.
  6. Just linking this reply I had to another thread, before I realized this entire section of the forums existed. Basically, I want the BM changed. It's gettin to the frenzy want to get violent stage. Seriously. It's getting that bad.
    We need to start a serious BM overhaul protest. It's starting to be a dealbreaker for me.
    It's infuriating, frustrating, clunky, biased, and all around bullmalarky. And no one, no one, can justify differently.

    Ideas:

    1. Post the sellers GLOBAL name, and any other GLOBAL names their master NC Account pays for.
    Desired resolution: This helps track down the farmers and the BM jackers, then everyone that plays the game can refuse to play with the jerk that makes this aspect of the game infuriating to the player base. The community will sort out the bad apples and the devs can easily boot/slap/punish/immolate/draw&quarter the BM Jerks.

    2. Make listings time sensitve, 1 week max length, and the price you paid to list it is GONE FOREVER. This will incentivise sellers to put an actual reasonable price on their items instead of just listing something for an inflated price and letting it sit for months. It'll start costing them to try and jerk around the BM so they'll have to drop the prices in order to actually move their stock.

    3. FOR THE AE/BM/UNIVERSITY: Ok seriously, for the love of all that is holy and dear to the world, can you not allow us to have our recipe window open at the same time we're trying to use the AE Ticket Vendor? It... well.. you know... makes sense that I would want the ability to SEE the recipe and required Salvage so I would know what to buy without needing to break out a pencil and notepad first. C'mon now.. Make it EASIER for us to use the game, instead of making it more time consuming and hassling to try and accomplish our goals. If you want, I'll raise 20billion infamy to build a University in Sharkhead, NEAR THE DOCKS/BM/AE/Ferry, why? Cuz then I have a central hub to utilize instead of having to zone here, or use a jetpack to fly up here, or etc etc. I mean, i like running around the zones as much as the next person, but after the 500000000th lap through Aeon City in Cap i'd really rather never set foot up there again, move the AE down to the University area.

    I'm trying to enjoy the game, i really am, but its starting to feel like they're working harder at punishing the player, instead of rewarding them.

  9. This thread would be so much cooler if it had an actual build in it lol. I've had a mind/fire stuck at lvl 48 for the longest time, and now i'm about to respec and finish her off but have no clue what to do with the new I19 builds etc etc.

    "once in range, melee is not an option... can't stand, can't fight.... "

    Ok, I'm not trying to sound dumb, and I haven't played an elec/kin so I have to ask. How are you knocking them down? I've read every power discription and looked at the build but the only thing I can really see is what you put in brawl. That's now how you're plannin on knocking everything down are you?

    I'm just flat out missing something here
  11. Thanks for the feedback on the first draft!

    Back to number crunching and drawing board
  12. nevermind, can't figure out the chunk export they're using to make it easy, good luck!
  13. This is my SS/WP farmer so far. Still have some things to flesh out/finish out, but it's a pretty rock solid farmer so far. Lemme know if this helps.

  14. The whole point being, it's a buzzsaw build. The dps for the main attacks ends up being over 100 for a lot of them, longest recharge is 5.7s (and this is without the +recharges going)

    It relies on fast, quick activation attacks that are always ready to go, and always poppin off the +dmgs.


    No one even wants to comment on it? That's sad I r sad panda
  15. Ok, so I did a dark/elec buzzsaw build a long time ago, and it got me thinking....

    Claws/Elec

    Now i'm trying a forum export thingy, so I don't know how well this will work, but the DPS is crazy (imo i could be wrong, i'm not uber leet like some ppl but it puts to shame some other brute builds that have gotten compliments so...) I'm lookin for some feedback lol

  16. LOL wish I'd known about this before hand too. And I'm not deleting 2 extra pages of alts just to get down to a slot under the first 12. First page alone is nothing but 50's

    Good thing this post was here though! I was about to all ragewrite a GM, which never really turns out well....
  17. I'm having this same problem, rebooted about 10 times now, still no joy.
  18. Hi all, I was just wondering when the idea to remove the specific forum location dealing with technical issues was made. Did they also tell you where you could go instead? And could someone please point me to where I need to go to find the answer as to why the following happened:

    I was running a mission when all of a sudden the game freezes (this has been an issue since I:16 but isn't very common so I've just dealt with it. Now when it freezes this time, a window pops up that says "CoH Update" only it's a blank white window over the screen, about 2" wide, 3.5" tall, and it has two toggle buttons on the bottom, like i can press something, only its white and there's no text, so i close the game out with task manager (using Windows7) and now when i try to log in, the updater just sits on "Connecting" Currently i'm up to connection attempt #12...

    Where can I go to find information on this? And how can i get to the knowledge base? It's all screwy now


    Well i tried to edit it to correct the Support misspell but apparently I can't so nevermind
  19. Cully

    Server Status

    I just want to know why its so hard to get the server status page to display a date OTHER than 2009-06-24? How are we supposed to really know what's going on with faulty information? :P

    Why is gangwar not worth it?

    Haven't gotten my thuggodark there yet so i'm curious. Generally whenever i read a power description and thing "Oh my gawd, i can't WAIT to get this, this sounds AWESOME!" i usually prepare myself for the heartbreaking standard cryptic snafu. Power sound good, reality doesn't work out that way.

    So, seeing as how you've already been there, disillusion me, so i don't have to deal with being angry that i picked yet another useless power.

    *glares at powers tweakers/nerfers*

    I'm still mad about that regen thing ya know...
  22. Knockdown would be cool, not knockback. I'm an avid pistol enthusiast and most pistols really don't knock someone flat back. They'll spin/falldown, but the discharge to mass ratio at impact "usually" isn't enough to knockback.

    And don't spout Kasul .454 or DE figures at me, i own them, and know what they're capable of :P


    Don't have time to sit and read the forums much. usually only at work, which means i can't take the time to just keep browsing them. That being said, QUESTION:
    Have they addressed teh slow thuggos yet? (slow to respond to order, slow running etc) or is that still on the list of things to accomplish?

    Thanks!

    Also, would knockdown be too much? Having a 40 Merc/Dark MM (and the ONLY attack she has is Slug, at it has only it's one slot, she's heavy on the soldiers/dark/pool side) She's still a PvE powerhouse, and I guess the only reason I'd like to see knockdown is cuz the knockback from slug can mean instadoom to whatever poor sop i TpFoe into my minions

    For the most part I don't have to deal with this. In the early days (beta, first few weeks of live launch) it was part and parcel of the MM life. Trust me, it blows. However, sometimes when I'm in a mission (only with teammates evidently) and I tell everyone to hold up, the MM is getting set. I'm not saying this to hold the team up and miss out on killing stuff etc. I'm saying it because if you run off and start fighting cons while i'm still summoning/buffing my minions, they'll run off helter skelter to try and join the party when they still don't have their pants on! I end up doing an endless cycle of summons/buffs because i can NEVER get my whole troop out and ready to go, without some moron deciding to get that one quick kill in, that breaks up my minions all over the map. Once that happens, they ignore orders, and go about trying to cause their own death and destruction. After the teamwipe ppl are like "Control ur minions, gawd!" And i usually kick them from the team at that point. It's an issue, and i'm cranky about it.
  24. If this has already been mentioned feel free to ignore me, but i didn't have the patience to read all 66 pages of posts.

    Not every toon has the ability to block an AS like repellers/caners do.

    I have a Dark Melee/Regen scrapper lvl 35. How does he stop stalkers? And don't even dare you mention taking tactics. I'm still sore over the whole perma-hasten nerf about people being "unfairly forced" to pick hasten for their builds just to be viable character options. I will NOT be "unfairly forced" to pick tactics just to combat the sneakiest of the sneaky backstabbin bastids known as stalkers *Stalkers, in all honestly, i salute you, you're a great concept, and i admire you a lot, i just hate being assassinated hehe* The good part about my build is i've yet to be one hit killed. I'm "just" tough enough to get my tuckus outta harms way popping IH and DP on the way. when half my life or more disappears, i'm outtie.

    You force me to pick something so i can see stalkers coming, and i'm [censored] from now until the game goes defunct about permahasten getting nerfed.

    I think the IR goggles are great. Also, I run around in the water. Stalkers can do a lot of sneaky things, but they can't change the laws of physics, and a physical body moving through water at any speed above negligible produces a wake. I see a wake coming at me at full speed, or suddenly appearing next to me, i don't ask questions, i pop the two aoe's i have, and if i don't unmask them, i'm gone. That's my solution. Run. If i can see them tho, AND target them, i fight, but i'm not waiting for 3 feet of steel to be piercing my spine to start crying foul.

    What about in the middle of a fight? This is why i think stalkers at THE number one BEST support AT out there. Brutes, MM's, whateva are having a knockdown dragout brawl in the middle of a zone? They should be at risk to getting a blade in the back at the most inopportune moment. It's war. War is hell. People die. So will you. Nuff said.

    DO NOT tell me my "option" is to be forced to pick a power i have no room for to stand a chance. All you ppl that got hasten nerfed boil my blood. Devs, mods, included. How anyone could read the description of that power and NOT pick it, defies every fiber of logic and reason in my being. That being said, i know it's a dead horse, don't think i'm starting a crusade, but i resent the very notion of the only viable option being FORCED to pick a power i DIDN'T need to solve a problem. That was your argument, it worked for you, we'll dust it off and re-use it and none shall cry foul.

    Have a peachy day Lieutenant!
