Yes, we can kill very quickly, but that's if a ton of contingencies are out of the way. It seems the focus is placed on those situations where this occurs, rather than the larger scope of all possible scenarios where this becomes a far smaller concern.

I think this is because most people haven't played Stalkers and don't realize what kind of work went into their death.

To them, it seems like we just popped in, killed them and left. When in reality, there was a lot of stalking involved. There was a lot of dropping down, but retreating for some reason or another... A lot of watching and waiting.

I've actually spent a few neighborhood battles doing nothing by watching and waiting... Hoping that they do something stupid... And moving around as often as possible.(Since I always seem to be the only villain around)

And theres nothing like having everything fall into place, the target aggros more than they can handle, they stop moving around so much and stop minding their surroundings... Everything seems to be going your way and you miss. You drop down, hit build up and AS misses. If I were on teamspeak, my SG would have their ears violated with so much profanity everytime that happened...

One of the major points of the OP seems to be that Stalkers can survive battles by running away from them, but this ability is hardly exclusive to Stalkers. EVERYONE can run. It just so happens that the central strategy of the Stalker is hit-and-run tactics, but everyone is capable of using this strategy.

Stalkers are definitely the natural selection process of CoH. I spend a lot of time in Siren's Call. Last night, I saw a Defender just standing out in the open, all alone, so I AS'd him to death. A few minutes later, I spot the exact same Defender, standing all by himself. Once again, I AS him. A few minutes later, I see the same Defender again. This time he's keeping moving and running Repel.

Because of my repeated killing, this guy learned the basics of how to survive in a PvP zone. Needless to say, I was very proud.

Its natural selection. We cull the weak and useless from the PvP herd and in doing so, the herd becomes stronger.
Heroes should be thanking us, we're making them stronger.

Honestly, it really just pissed me off, so I quit for a while. In the future, I'll probably avoid the arc because of it.

[/ QUOTE ]

ditto. i hated that guy and will probably avoid the arc from now on, which kinda stinks because it was a great map. I am not a big fan of the way it works pvp either and seeing it with no warning in a pve zone was jarring and not at all enjoyable.

Haven't read the whole thread... But I just wanted to ask a rhetorical(sp?) question.

Guess who you get to fight in the first mission of the respec trial?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I've seen a lot of complaints about this so I brought it up before we went live. We changed it so certain toggle effects fade out but it didn't make it into live. Dark Armor shouldn't be so bad anymore once this gets updated. The same goes for Mud Pots.

[/ QUOTE ]

I can finally start my DA brute! Great news!

[/ QUOTE ]

And I can finally play mine for longer than a single mission!

Its not just bosses.

Its harder for me to resist ASing a mob thats standing on the ledge of a rooftop. Its just so fun to one shot them and watch them tumble over the side.

Last night, I saw a Brute run straight out of Breakout, go to Nerva, and run the respec trial SOLO!!!!!one!

[/ QUOTE ]

lol, he had to get out of breakout first? when i created my brute, a message just popped up on the screen saying "you win at cov, congratulations!"

man, i can't wait to get my passive unstoppable at level 2!

[/ QUOTE ]

I hear Bill Brasky is a Brute...

No, its an exploration badge.

And add "Protean" to that list... I might have gotten it via the Sewer Trial... Or through that hydra portal mission.

Button man Gunner is for lvl 20, I remember that from Beta.

The pariah must be some sort of mission or maybe just killing lost.

[ QUOTE ]
In development.

[/ QUOTE ]

Is this the new and improved "Soon™"?

I'm not sure about actually fighting Crey, but there is a Crey building in Nerva.(I think it was Nerva)


I've heard that some people came up against Carnies.(Saw a pic of a Carnie handing out flyers )

Well, Recluse being the Incarnate of Hera might explain the sister comment (ooh he's jealous!!) but then he'd probably be Lord Peacock or something (wasn't that one of Hera's symbols?).

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep, the peacock was indeed one of her symbols.
And I'm also wondering why the hell people always think Hades was evil. Sure, certain religions depict the lord or the underworld as evil, but Hades was not evil.

Just because Disney makes him evil doesn't mean hes evil....

rouge isles

[/ QUOTE ]

Are we going to have to suffer through this kind of thing here, too. It was bad enough in WoW being called a rouge, but do we really have to do that here?

Rogue != Rouge
rouge = blush or make up of some sort (not too sure, but I know its make up! )

Galaxy City is a bit less forgiving than Atlas Park. With Vahzilok practically on every street corner, why would people want to go there? I go there to escape the KSing lowbies that haunt Atlas Park, but I know to avoid Vahz and I know where they usually spawn.

Thats my take on why people avoid Galaxy... Vahzilok.

I usually come up with my best ideas when I'm almost asleep. Like, right when I'm about to pass out. I've come up with some of my best riffs that way. (and some character concepts)

Care to elaborate on this any? I would be interested to hear the reasoning behind this.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because then there would be around 75% less tanks than there already are...

ive been hearing that on the next update that is due on december 28th???? that max level will be extended to 75. but i can not find anything about it. i would have dismissed it but i've heard it from 3 other people. on 2 different servers..????

[censored]? What are the devs smoking? Are they cr8zy?

[ QUOTE ]
So .. let me see if I've got this straight, the OP has already made a call on the value of an Issue that hasn't even hit the Test Server yet?

I'm wondering why the OP is even here .. why hasn't he released a better MMO than CoH and made big bux .. or if he has precog powers that accurate why isn't he making a bazillion dollars day trading?

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't think think people would get suspicious?

Atleast here the OP can hide behind the idiot title.

Faolon stepped out of an abandoned office building in Perez Park.

"Doesn't Nemesis EVER get tired of those crazy schemes?" He said to himself. "I mean, weather control? Only he could be ballsy enough to take control of the weather."

He reached behind his back into a pouch and pulled out a cell phone.
"Guess I better call Christopher now." He said with a sigh.

As he started searching through the cell's phone book for Maxwell Christopher's phone number a loud noise grabbed his attention. It sounded like a scream.
He looked up just in time to see a blast of some sort shoot out from within Perez Park towards the Atlas Park gate area.
Without hesitation he jumped into the air and began to fly toward the gate.
As he drew closer he could hear someone's voice. They were shouting at someone or some thing.
"...your rampage ends here!" they screamed.
Faolon stopped dead when he got a glance of the, now thrased, gateway.
He turned to his left and saw a hero climbing out of the dense forest. Then turned back towards the doorway and saw the creature that caused the destruction of those massive doors. The sight of it gaved him goosebumps.
"That thing..." He said with his eyes wide open,"That... can't..." The words failed to escape his mouth. He knew that creature was bad news, and he was used to that sort of thing, but something about this thing scared him.
As he hovered down to the ground, he tried to compose himself.
"It can't be allowed to enter Atlas Park." Faolon said to himself.
He looked at the two heroes preparing to do battle with the creature. He knew he had to get their attention and the beast's without distracting the heroes and making them drop their guard.

He looked up at the door as he muttered an enchantment. He knew it was going to be a painful few minutes.

Faolon closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then opened his eyes as a green glow surrounded his body.

Without a second thought, he flew towards the creature at full speed yelling to the other heroes: "TRY TO LEAD HIM BACK INTO THE..." It was all he was able to say.

The two heroes looked on helplessly as the creature spun around and met Faolon with its fist. It had been anticipating his attack and caught Faolon in the chest with its giant bony fist, shattering Faolon's rib cage and sending him flying backwards; through the great stone wall that surrounded the park area. A few yards after breaking through the wall, he hit the ground and bounced hard, breaking a few more bones as he continued to bounce until finally sliding to a halt.

As Faolon gasped for air and tried to concentrate on healing his wounds, the creature turned to the two heroes blocking its path.

(This is my first one of these so I apologize for any mistakes)

Only reason my account is still up now is that I am waiting for CoV. Sure I could freeze it and wait I guess but, I fear I'll lose my toons. No way I'd pay $30. $15 is 3 times the amount it should be considering the geriatric leveling speed and other factors that I wont flame into at this time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Geriatric lvling speed?

Geriatric can either mean slow or old... None of which make sense when it comes to the CoH lvling speed.

[ QUOTE ]
I seem to remember either Statesman or Positron posting about this a few months ago. Basically, CoV is going to be sold as a seperate game. You can go buy CoV and start a new account with a $15 a month fee.

BUT, if you have an existing CoH account, all you need is a code from the CoV box. The existing account fee will cover both game subscriptions.

This is from memory, as this post would have dropped off the boards quite a while ago. But IIRC, this is the model they are planning on using...

[/ QUOTE ]

This is what I read as well, and I believe it was States himself that answered this in an interview.

The one where they asked him if it was wierd that people refer to him as Stateman and not Jack.

Very drawn out maniacal laugh:
Start laughing with head down, hardly moving then as head starts tilting back the laughing becomes more overt(think thats the word).

Another one, long as well...
Kneel down with white flag as in the surrender emote, but quickly stand up and do the "up yours" one or something.
