Considering that judgment is easily the second weakest slot, that's not saying a lot to me. I don't expect to get what I want, but more Hybrid isn't it. This isn't mechanical to me. Hybrid is worthless because of how it works. I don't like it. You can say, "You're wrong." But the power is useless TO ME. I don't like it and really don't want more of it. I will keep saying as such in hopes the devs don't repeat this nonsense, although I suspect they will.

Quote:I think that's exactly why they stopped it. I know when LOTGs when on sale I only bought the procs.At some point in the past, when a set went on sale, you could buy individual pieces at sale prices. Last time I checked, the individuals were not marked on sale - which I find really, really obnoxious. (Pretty much the only things I'd ever buy would be single procs).
Does anyone know if this is just policy now, or was that a fluke? -
Quote:The ATOs are the closest so far to this, but they aren't exactly a sure thing when you buy packs. Buy enough of them and you can, but it's not something you can depend on. If they allowed you to buy and trade amplifiers, you wouldn't be taking a risk, you buy amplifier, then you can sell it for influence.Hmmm. I thought that might be viewed as a feature. Many other games seem to specifically add stuff to their real money market that can be sold to other players for in game for in-game currency (it may also be an incidental side-effect, but one they are well aware of). That seems to fall under the type of convenience item CoH has been willing to sell.
Selling something on the market that can be bought by other players for in-game money doesn't seem out of line with how the ATOs exist.
You're right, other games do allow this, so maybe they will. Nothing would surprise me anymore. -
C'mon what? Hybrid is a fail slot. Sure, it does something I guess, but there's no slot yet that has had less effect on our performance. It's the bottom the barrel as Incarnate powers go. The idea of making one of the remaining slots just as bad is crazy.

WOW!! That's great news, great. I was very uneasy about these but if they are earnable in game, then my objection falls out.

Never ceases to amaze me how people can condemn the Resistance while shrugging at the atrocities of the Loyalist. Truly amazes me.

Too many teasers, it's time for real info now. And beta.

It does if I really believe!

Yeah, he's accomplished a lot. As did Hitler. Doesn't make him any less of a monster. -
Quote:Prior to their implementation, the opinion "I don't want any end-game raids" was valid. Now it no longer is. They're here, they're staying. It's just as invalid as saying, "I wish they would remove Blasters from the game."I think there are two main reasons all the "antis" you mentioned come out in force to these threads:
1) This game survived for a very long time without end game raids... as such, there are many of them around.
2) Their opinion to the question in the OP is just as valid as anyone else's. -
Quote:Link? First I've heard that. And Inventions have been making content into roflstomps for years.I'd be less annoyed with incarnates if only Alpha functioned in normal content as was originally planned. Judgement and Destiny turn everything into roflstomps.
ON-TOPIC: I'm looking forward to three more level shifts, and hopefully 3 of the 5 remaining powers being passives boosts. I'm hoping that Omega's level shift is usable outside of Incarnate content. -

They are to me. I don't think of 'balance' as equality, but equity or in other words fairness. I don't care if one set or one AT is numerically superior to another, but I do care that it doesn't seem like a sucker bet to pick one set over another.
-
Quote:The game is too old to fix these issues. A lot of the things you're talking about have been stated consistently for 8 years. There will be tweaks along the way, but the major global changes necessary to establish some fairness in the system just aren't happening. Nor should they.I don't expect the playerbase to support me because if the dev team follows through on my design ideals, the playerbase will initially react poorly. You guys like being ridiculously overpowered and making a mockery of the game's content. If all sets could do it, then I'd be in favor of it and just making content to that level to challenge the sets - but hey guess what, turns out Fire Melee is demonstrably superior in all ways to Radiation Blast. Mental Manipulation is clearly better than Ice Manipulation. Scrappers are demonstrably, quantifiably better than Blasters.

I would create a storyarc for villains that give them access to Skyway City which would be revamped into a non-coop zone that all players have access too.
Synapse's TF would be revamped along with a villain equivalent to take down the Clockwork King for their own nefarious purposes. Vigilantes would be allowed to infiltrate and scuttle the task force for their 'allies'. (All this would mean is different text at the end. Like the Cap SF) Rogues would be able to steal something valuable during the hero TF. -
Quote:This. I'm not really sure what the OP is talking about.The irony here is...I've never thought of Cloaking Device as being an unpopular power. Most every /Dev blaster I've ever seen (including mine) HAS cloaking device. Hell...if you were to ask me...CD is one of the major reasons TO take up /dev...to say nothing of Targeting Drone.
No stealth power is 'weak'. It's a key utility that I try to fit in on all characters via Super Speed, IOs, etc. -
Quote:They are the actions of the vilest villain. Give people a false dilemma as if "Follow me or die" are the only options. It's so disgusting, I genuinely can't see how so many people on these boards repeat this argument seemingly without irony.Those aren't the actions of a hero, but by that point Cole wasn't claiming to be one, just the savior of the human race.
Cole didn't 'save' anything. He cut a deal. Marchand could have cut that deal, or some other unnamed person probably killed in Cole's regime. What Cole actually did was sign a treaty. Regular joe human beings have been saving their countries for millenia doing the same thing. Nothing in that deal, justified him declaring himself emperor or the many crimes he committed to maintain his deception.

Right, and you'll note that I put Recluse much higher on my list than Phipps. Not even sure why people think one of Recluse's low level functionaries even rates mention. I put Recluse a bit less on the evil scale because at least some of his lieutenants have redeemable qualities.
