Yawn. I don't recall taunt being a terribly effective tool in PvP and this change makes no effect on the massive usefullness if PvE.

So speaking as a aggro control tank, this makes zero impact on that end of the spectrum. I'll still take as many taunts as I can get my hands on!

Either say it or don't say it or just have the balls to tell us "Hey, this is our game, we're gonna do what we want with it. Period". If they said that I'd shut up.

I'm giving 10 to 1 odds that you wouldn't. Any takers?

Give me 10,000 to 1 and I'd think about throwing a buck your way and splitting the cash with him on the condition that he close his account and start a new identity on the boards.

But 10 to 1? Forget it!

Getting pretty tired of this. Can't be bothered to find a better solution to the problem of mob stacking than to set an AoE limit. Can't be bothered to find a better solution to balance than chopping us off at the knees. Can't be bothered to post a dev response in the "Dev Response - Defender" thread, forcing us to sit around in limbo wondering what's going on. Now, you can't be bothered to do a little datamining and give us the badges we've already earned.

There's no excuse for this. None.

It's a "little datamining" only if you consider 18 months of data produced by hundreds of thousands of players playing how many insane hours of CoH to be a "little bit" of data.

They're making a professional call. If they do this, they have to do this right or they'll have a good chunk of their playerbase in an uproar because heroes that should have the badge don't and heroes that shouldn't have the badge do have it. The last time they did exactly this, it took 3 months. Now they have 9 times the amount of data to mine than they did back then.

As many people on these boards who are in the professional software field know, the difference between a professional product that you can charge people for and an amateur product that you're lucky to give away is exactly the difference between doing a job right and doing a job "good enough".
