Jack, there's a big difference between being brutally honest and being a snake oil salesman.

You are an EMPLOYEE and a REPRESENTATIVE of the company you work for. You have an OBLIGATION to be professional. As much as you'd like to spout your "aw shucks, I'm just a gamer like you" excuse, you're a freakin' professional that should know to temper his "gamer-ness" with some damn common sense. I know your intentions behind what you said may have been innocuous, but you make your bosses look bad. I'm pretty sure they don't appreciate it.

I believe he IS the boss....

I dont think he makes his bosses look bad if he IS the boss, even if he's telling the truth at least its not some PR B.S.

By not spinning, I believe he is making better PR.

I cant believe some people actually dislike Statesman's honesty.

Professionals who tell you how it is, is the best professional out there. They dont spin B.S. and try to make you throw money at them. Now they want the money, granted. ( Who doesnt? Lets not B.S. ourselves ) but at least they make you feel like someone gives a damn.

Statesman, I respect you most as a developer, I keep telling my online buddies about Cryptic from how you handle things. They're frankly sick of me harping praises of Cryptic.

Dont ever change the way you do these things, its what makes you guys the best devs out there.

I hope Cryptic is up to other video games in the future, I will definately be buying them.

and last but not least: I hope your brother makes it home.

Either way..It's my opinion, like it or lump it.

Sorry, dear, but lump.

No one would begrudge you your opinion. I don't think anyone here would deny you that.

By the same token, no one would begrudge you a right to post that opinion on a public forum.

It's more that if one were to take a look at your post history, it's more that you have a habit of couching those opinions as fact; you tend to presumptively speak on behalf of a lot of other folks; exaggerate issues in the game into enormous game-breaking problems; threaten to depart the game if your opinions aren't upheld; or blame others for your own perceived deficiencies in-game.

No offense, but all hallmarks of the kind of DOOOM!sayer that we take such delight in poking at in threads like this.

Seriously, if the game makes you this unhappy? Leave. No regrets. I'll even show you the door.

The last post I will contribute to this thread.
First off, I invite you to look at my post history, as all of my posts are exectly what forums are based on.. user feedback, critiques, etc. etc. plus they are informative and helpful to quite a few, which I can add is unlike your trolling.
It's pretty sad to see that people like yourself are so hellbent on being accepted by others, that you have to have your click of people there to boost your ego's.. but it's ok, without the sheep, the people who can think for themselves wouldn't be so special.

I suggest you and whomever has such a warped view to truly take a moment and relax. Remember, it's ok if we don't agree.
It's also ok for someone to have an opinion that differs with you, meaning, there is enough room in the universe for different views and opinions. Embrace this, it may serve you.

Answer as you may, now that my back is turned and I am not returning to this thread.
And like I said, like it, or lump it, I don't care one way or the other.

I have seen this xenophobia junk on other forums and I had really hoped that CoH wouldn't get the disease.

Don't hate ramen just because it's tasty and inexpensive!

Every culture has it's heroes (and tasty snack treats). The heroes of Paragon have had many alliances with heroes of other countries in times of war and peace.

(Insert Web of Arachnos subliminal message)

A hero is a hero, is a hero. Korean, English, Mutant, American or Kheldian. All heroes would do well to remember that, not just in times of need.

Heroes = Humans?! ?!@?!?!?!?!?!?JFDSKLFLJK?!?

I'm kidding. Yes, Xenophobia is horrible

NEVERTHELESS: Please make another video. Showing Synapse get up and take out that ghost girl. I mean cmon he has to regain some blaster honor.

I hope I'm not alone in this: I want that music from the E3 video to be battle music while fighting in COH.

Seriously. that'd rule.

That RULED!! HAHAHA

Jeez, go Statesman, Go Manticore, Go Synapse, go all heroes!

Oh, so NOW you cover your butt by saying "because of PvE or PvE AND PvP" when before you said PvE would NOT be affected by PvP, when it CLEARLY is. You sir, are a liar, and are showing just how stupid game devs get after their game has been out for 1+ year. This is now becoming a typical move in MMORPGs. Good job there Statesman, you're just like the rest of the MMOs now. Continue your spin-doctoring though, you're almost getting good at it. Liar.

[/ QUOTE ]

Honestly, I think you might have blown a fuse. First off, calling someone a liar just because you are unhappy with the changes is totally wrong. You DON'T have both sides of the issue. You are ONLY thinking about how it affects you in PvP, and how it will change your strategies in PvE.

Obviously, there are some issues in PvE that have been discovered over the past year. Those issues were taken into account, and it was decided that an accuracy debuff was needed in order to fix them.

Now, the current percentage MAY not make it to Live. I have no doubts that it will go live in one form or another.

In the meantime, start figuring out some new strategies to improve your survivability. That is part of what makes MMO's enjoyable... the challenge of overcoming the odds. If it was too easy, we'd all have level 50s in a week fully slotted with Hami-O's and quit the game out of sheer boredom.

Oh, and this will effect two of my characters. The third doesn't have any travel powers except those provided by his Kinetics Secondary. Am I upset? A little. But something needed to be changed in order to balance the travel powers so that this didn't become "City of Speeders" as it appears.

Thank you. Finally some voice of logical reason.

I gotta say. I'm pretty disgusted at the pathetic nature of this.

I really dont see the problem. really. I dont.

Awesome!

Thanks Statesman

But..but...what about City of Politics?!

I read another thing about listening to information that they got from a friend or magazine or whatever usually isnt true.

Awesome!

Wait wait: so we just have to tune in, to justice radio? or do we have to be on teamspeak ( sorry, i'm slightly slow at this learning thing. )

Again. after picking up and using rage for a little bit, I really dont see what everyone is complaining about.

After getting rage and using it on various enemies last night, not once did I have a problem. grouped, soloed, etc. with my final conclusion I express this:

Why in gods good name would you still complain about rage. Having a 400-500 hit knockout blow with two recharge SO's in it, is amazing. Also there is like LITTLE penalty. Most likely by the time you jump into a big fight you'll already have shot off a taunt and hit a few enemies, thus securing aggro for the few moments you're not able to fight.

By the time you get back in, if the aggro is broken, taunt will be up to the task.

Go go Cuppajo

In the manticore Task Force I witnessed the power of a warshade and peacebringer.

without them I think the task force would have taken a very long time. They were awesome.

Sure my tanking was superior in terms of overall damage recieved / negated ( as i'm a tank ) I mean its logical. I was MADE for that job. They however could really assist the group and without them, we would have had a really really tough time.

Kheldians rule! I love them!

Yes! SG Bank or Vault. How about just creating a "bank" like building in a few zones. ( like Atlas, Talos, and Brickstown so low, medium, and high levels can always be around a bank ) where any player could go store in enhancements and whatnot. ( it would also add depth )

But add another "section" of the bank. like a few bank tellers, and then another bank teller in the corner of the room, Supergroup Bank Teller, which you could store enhancements, inspirations, money, etc. that people could use.

Now of course when bases come online the supergroup vault would be obviously obsolete.

ability to change the supergroup colors, titles, etc.

a few more leader only commands.

the ability to elect off a guild leader and elect another guild leader.

the ability to elect people out of guilds.

the ability for the guild leader to demote high ranking officers in the guild.

different SG colorsets for the costume

an SG costume itself. ( would be neat and wouldnt take up any other 4 costume places )

Alliances and Alliance chat!

Alliance Email!

heh. I just want an actual PUNCH animation with the punch power.

Also yeah hurl's animation time to be cut down.

Pft. States at first I was like "[censored] I HATE ISSUE 3!" but slowly I came to realize that it made tankers better. I mean in the defense game i'm not as good nowadays. but with a group I'm kicking butt and taking names. I love it.

I know you're going to get negative feedback, but me being the lowly Invul Tanker I'm happy you're making these changes.

Cryptic knows what its doing. I've definately found the MMO i'm going to play till you all turn senile

You guys are definately the best developers out there. I'm not saying this for e-love, or sucking up ( though I am sucking up, but i'm speaking out of truth ) I've played every MMO out there and Cryptic is the only MMO producer that knows what its doing.

Just dont worry too much about the negative feedback you're going to get on this. They'll soon understand that if they want these hard bosses back, they just have to consult the mission difficulty slider.

Excellent Statesman. Excellent.

Thank you

Dont forget to look at Task Forces / Respecs / Glowie missions too

I'll check this!

Heh. I can only imagine in my mind Jack Emmert running down the halls of Cryptic with one of those "issue 2 exclusive capes" on and punching one of the server guys in imitation of the power "brawl".

I dunno. I just think bosses during TF's are..way too tough.

States me and my group of 32's and 33's took the manticore TF oohh about last saturday, we started it about at 7:00. and granted I'm used to long TF's taking from 7:00 to 4:00 or so. but we only got done with the first two missions and only about 10% of the third.

It was about 1:00 when we quit. There would have been no way we would have completed it in a reasonable hour. I dunno I think these boss changes are good in the fact you're upgrading bosses.

but they're bad when it comes to respec / Task Forces / Save the Glowie missions

I think the bosses are too hard at the moment.

I think you're right about all of that stuff TheChef. I am indeed guilty of the same complaining, yet growing to like. Issue 3 has made me realize that yes, the developers know what the heck they're doing.

Skills System.

Ranged Defense.

More Powers

The ability to respec powers.

More content.

Vehicles. :P

.

Thats it. Anyone who dares insult Cryptic burns in hell. This plan rules, Cryptic rules, Statesman rules, now I know why COH is on my two year MMO plan.

*salute*
