I've been thinking about this; sorry for my rudeness earlier - probably drunk

Trying to put this the nicest way I can. Let's talk about Westin Phippis "Defeat Manticore" mission. It's 40+ content, only has one Hero yet defended by some 20 Longbow. So 1 AV + Lots of Longbow.

Let's compare that.

THAT mission: 1 AV, Lots of Longbow

MY mission: 2 AVs, Thorn Tree, 15 Shadow Cysts, Lots of Morea clan

Tell me, which one is going to be tougher?

I'm still not convinced that I should lower the range.

EDIT: To make it fair with you. I could make a Yuong Dida 25-30 contact. Sheng's son maybe? I mean, same kind of missions oh and same personality, just a different contact

[/ QUOTE ]

That's fine; but in the OP you didn't explain any of that.

[ QUOTE ]
Ah, good. Now go! The Morea clan needs to be wiped from the board!

Objectives:
Defeat Master Morea
Defeat Black Scorpion
Destroy 15 power crystals
Destroy the Morea Powerhouse


[/ QUOTE ]

There is no mention of what the crystals or powerhouse are.

There's not much at 50 that's hard and I don't think simply going "lol lots of AV's" is a good answer to making tricky content. Hell the first SF in Villains has two AV's, and Ice Mistral has a room full of pink exploding rocks, a whole load of CoT and an AV.

Just going "No this is hard so it won't work at anything below 45" isn't exactly a good explanation.

But all they said equates to "I don't agree with this because...".

How is that bad, surely finding out why someone disagrees with the suggestion is a good thing as it would (theoretically) allow you to refine your idea?

Unless of course you think that your OP is inviolate and beyond reproach due to it being fundamentally perfect in your estimation.

... what? No. Just because someone disagrees with the suggestion doesn't suddenly mean that the suggestion itself is redundant.

You are excused.
So an opinion saying no is not an opinion?
Are you a politican?

Then let me add to it...
There is more than enough high level content for both sides. With 2 co-op zones being for mid-high levels, and plenty of contacts already for 45-50.
And thats why I /unsigned it.
I prefer a blunt and honest approach.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, if you do not like more high level content, just '/unsigned' and leave it at that, don't go into force about a little protest for more low level content.

EDIT: Also it's becoming off-topic with this so let's get the train back on the track.

[/ QUOTE ]
Don't be so defensive; an explanation of why someone disagrees with the suggestion is far better than simply leaving /unsigned or /jranger.

[/ QUOTE ]

...unless that disagreement does not contribute to the suggestion in any way.

[/ QUOTE ]
It's somewhat constructive criticism because you're told that they believe that low level content is what should be added, rather than high level content. It's certainly a hell of a lot better than "NO IT SUCKS LOL".

if you hear nothing about it doesn't mean he abandon it, you here nothing about GW2 but it's still under construction.

Well we actually poked NC Europe about this in February; party line is he's had it for years and doesn't want to/won't do anything with it.

And the game's industry is very different to the movie industry.

[ QUOTE ]
It's only because some people make winning at PvP the be all and end all of thier character, and build for that, that balance is an issue at all.


[/ QUOTE ]
This. If someone specs a character for PvP not only will it be slightly more viable over a simpler, less specialised build but the person behind the keyboard will also be better versed in be able to play it.

Or they could make Hold Supression more reliable.

[ QUOTE ]
I think its generally accepted that PvP is utterly borked in this game. Only really tenable for a few people that want to put the time and effort in to a character to fight at the high end of Arena PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]
Fixed.

[ QUOTE ]
As far as I see there are two options:

1. Drop it completely from any further resource development.
2. Massive investment of resources to overhaul it completely.

[/ QUOTE ]
They'll never do option 1. They'll do option 2 in a way, but that'll be a slow process (and has started with the latest round of pvp power changes) because they can't shift the entire Dev team to PvP for an issue or two. The majority of the playerbase wouldn't like it.

Can people stop saying CC in CoH needs to be closer to the CC in WoW? CC in WoW is insanely overpowered in PvP, at least in CoH there's things like Break Free's, Mez Protection and buffs like Clear Mind and Thaw.

As for having to change things to keep up with "the competition", feh. WAR is the same market as CoH just as EVE is the same market as CoH, doesn't mean that WAR is direct competition. I wouldn't class any Fantasy MMO as direct competition.

The exchange rate was that low to help stop Hero side players with thousands of millions of Influence setting up the biggest base on day one of it going live.

Winged Boots?

Every /unsign is a vote against PvP.

paragonwiki says that it has only ever been sucsessfully completed on the usa servers taintedgreek thats PARAGONWIKI

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, it was done once on Defiant with Xanthus leading the raid, i was there together with other 49 people.-

[/ QUOTE ]
I was also there, I helped come up with the plan we used. Of course - that was Hero side.

Villain side I don't think any server in the EU has managed it.

You could set different values for PvE and PvP in terms of slow res.

[ QUOTE ]
I think the sound for repel or similar power should be changed. I suggest "Skidoosh!"

No Pandaisms please.

it's a hell of a grind to go on higher lvls.

[/ QUOTE ]Not really. You've never played other MMOs? CoH/CoV are a lot faster than the average MMO in terms of reaching the maximum level quickly.

This is of course assuming you're not still playing on Heroic.

[/ QUOTE ]
This, I've been averaging just over two levels a night in a duo on Villains on Invinc with I dunno, 3-4 hours play. Crank it up, find a friend or two ingame and get rolling.

I want free stuff.

Def's easier to mitigate than Res, so it's not useless. It's just not as reliable.

Personally I love Def in PvP, running with a high Defense team is hilarious because not only does it mitigate damage - but it annoys the hell out of the other guys.

Yeah, it's known on the US forums. Castle has investigated but is probably in no hurry to fix it

Changed it a bit for you.

Generally I hope we're pretty much all thinking "man that's a weird bug".

S'all basically TR - still interesting though.

[ QUOTE ]
Yes, I was thinking of burst damage more in terms of Melee. To my mind it still has an advantage, albeit less significant, for ranged attacks.

[/ QUOTE ]That's always going to be the case, the more damage at once the harder it is to mitigate with heals or regen.

Melee DPS is trickier to fix because of rooting and supression. It's hard to get sustained damage output against someone that's moving faster than you (be it from different travel power or because they're not being supressed).
