The holograms are very difficult to see with different lightings or SG colors to FYI the devs in case there needs to be an adjustment.

I've been in a Base raid and at least with my group, it was way too one-sided. Even with the lack of 10 levels. Its possible, tougher but still possible.

Villains stand a good chance against Heroes. I've seen it first hand in base raids.

bah

Pain is getting wacked by eyeball bosses and wisp bosses at the same time

Yeah, I doubt it will matter as much but considering a group of level 40 villains (one being 41) just completed it, some will give it a shot and risk but just seems like maybe the debt could be cut down a little.

I dont see a thread for any feedback about the CoP trial But just some general suggestions/ideas if needed.

My main gripe with it is that you get no XP/inf/prestige but you get debt. I can see why this is needed to balance out the challenge but is it possible to either eliminate the debt or put it at 1/8 of what it is right now for this trial only?

Why isn't there any PvP missions in RV? This completely boggles me because I figured RV would be me digging my Scrapper out of his still temp-grave to do some missions that WEREN'T in the Shadow Shard. I like to solo with him but the shard is annoying.

Why was there no implementation of PvP missions in RV?

Fix the mission crashing in Grandville

Helluva list to compile but good luck to anyone who does it

Do as you want. Its your $14.99 a month. But don't complain about there not being any content to use on your villains

[/ QUOTE ]

Why not? If the content isn't compelling then you have every right to complain. For instance the newspapers are technically content, but in practice it's little more than street sweeping in a mission.

I'm just gonna stop replying in this thread. I dont even know what im saying right now, just way too much stress over me at the moment...

Oh geez, Posi and them already said they will look into it. The reason they couldnt do it differently right away was because of the fact they never put tech into CoH/CoV that allows you to completely breakoff a contact and lose any souviners/story arc progress.

My guess is that it isnt a quick week job to do something like this hence why they had to go with this now and then take the time to work on the tech that allows you to break contacts completely and have no recollection of ever being with that contact or something similar.

Do as you want. Its your $14.99 a month. But don't complain about there not being any content to use on your villains

So what your complaining about is the Permanent aspect of Patron Pools? Thats what I see from your second paragraph what most of this complaint revolves around.

You know...I am not sure I like this patch. I am not really feeling the DOOM here.

[/ QUOTE ]
True. I'm feeling the AW SHUCKS!!!

Back in the day people went all out with the Doom. Today's Doom posts don't seem to really have much oomph.

I may not like having to relearn things also but for me, it actually kept the game fresh enough for me as odd as that sounds. Rather then having the same boring character from I2-now, things were changed up and I re-learned some things.

I dont feel a need to use the excuse 'I'm a paying customer, I demand to be treated correctly' in a game where thousands of thousands of others are the same way also.

Devs have listened to things in the past in terms of changes because people gave better suggestions. The stealth change would be the best one recently since people gave much better ways to handle it to prevent griefing of glowies, etc...so they decided to go back and work on those changes.

Changed To Hit Debuffs to use the 5/10/20 Enhancement progression.

[/ QUOTE ]

Does that mean the NPC now have the new to hit system ( to hit check before level check ? )

[/ QUOTE ]
No, it means that characters that use those enhances are gimped until I7.

I'm not bitter, I swear.

[/ QUOTE ]

Reality check: It means you're Nerfed even AFTER issue-7 changes.
If you look at the proposed "scaling" system... ACC Debuffs still get Nerfed.

4 Reasons:
1) Castle's Stalker posse couldn't handle full strength Hurricane
2) */Dark MM's were soloing Archvillains/Heroes...just like Ill/Rads
3) Rad-Emission in general needed another nerf.
4) Two words: DM/SR Stalkers.

Their original Excuse that it invloved Hammy-O's was closer to the truth...
...We're basically all getting nerfed now and into the future b/c of 4-5 powerbuilds.

[/ QUOTE ]

The funny thing, is that my /Rad controller will still be good. Go sit in your corner crying doom because this thread has gone downhill due to you and others about this.

I'm not gimped. Never have, never was. This change my hit me but I still debuff damn well.

So yeah...it makes you look bad and hey, so do I but oh well, I dont feel a need to cry and moan about a change. I learn to adapt while others refuse to.

I find this interesting

* The maximum mission reward that a character can receive is now character level +3. Example: A level 10 character (not sidekicked) in a group running a level 20 mission will receive the equivalent reward of a level 13 mission upon completion.

[/ QUOTE ]

No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes here and there. Looking at the numbers, it would seem that Scrappers do more damage but in the "real world" it can be different.

Unfortunatley, devs dont have the time to post DOOOooOOOOM all the time on the boards and just give what they thought looked right but we correct and then they go back and go "Well damn, it looks like we were off, our mistake"

we discovered that we couldn’t pull the change out without jeopardizing the I7 release schedule. Right now, QA (at NCSoft and Cryptic) is working away at I7 and shaking out bugs. If we were to roll back this change, our teams would need to put I7 aside and retest the current build. I made the decision to stay the course instead.

[/ QUOTE ]

Great... just Great... then you can "Make the decision" to give us a 'Freespec' with this patch so we won't be totally gimped between now and when I-7 finally goes live. Debuffing defenders already have enough hardships to endure. A month or more of sucking b/c you guys messed up the development schedule.... shouldn't be one of them

...You already owe one to everybody who took Whirlwind...

[/ QUOTE ]

You know what. I'll prove your [censored] wrong that debuffing isnt gimped now. When the patch goes Live, I'll still debuff and kill things easy.

I've lived through SR going from Subpar, to awesome with perma elude. To no perma elude. Then the global defense change, then ED and I still run great. Other people proclaimed it was the end for SR and that it was useless to play. But I still fight damn well.

IBTL +1

Wait for I7

Nice to hear your basically forced to read it before you choose the Patron stuff. Makes people less likely to wine..then again, everyone wines about something

Where's I7 when you need it

Oh yes EvilGeko, because your opinion is so not valid. We're always right.

Jeez, all we are saying is to get a better opinion is to wait until it is on Test because we dont know full details. Is that an evil thing to say?

This thread is barely 24 hrs old and is already 34 pages long......you'd think this would send a message to the devs.

[/ QUOTE ]

What message? That's there's a small group of players who get hysterical over incomplete information and post multiple times?

[/ QUOTE ]


Rampant speculation can be fun!

Also, it's only 19 pages for me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yay, at least someone else doubles up the threads like I do. I cant stand how short the default is..

From how I see it, making a decision as big as this isnt the only one they thought of. I'm pretty sure the devs have minds similar to us to know that we may not like it but they must have found a major reason to do it that way instead of just allowing us to change factions freely.

We'll see when it hits test on just how far "truly permanent" goes. In the mean time, alot of this discussion is nigh meaningless since none of us have all the info on how they will work. Just some words by a dev that we assume is a certian way.
