Make it possible that members of a SG can read the INFO of other members of the SG from the SG menu (even if the players on not in line of site). It would help with players getting to know something about the SG team members, beyond their name and level.

Cool! Colisseum was my favorite X-Man!

Hi Bridger, good luck to you in your new position!

One question though, shouldn't your name be "Hero Two"?

Statesman, a quick question.

Awhile ago (2 months?) the question of moving heros between servers was brought up, and you said you thought it was important, and that it would happen. I haven't heard anything on the subject for several weeks.

Can you give us a status update? Will we see this important feature in Issue 3? If not, any timetable?

Thanks!

Notice how Statesman hasn't touched this thread with a 10 foot Katana?

That's because it was choked to death by killer whinebabies and nerfochondriacs.


OK, continue with the flagellation.

Ok Statesman. First, thanks for all the great info. We always know you guys are working on new creations behind the scene, but it's nice to get a hint of what'll be on the menu.

Question: What about character moves between servers? You had said this was important to you, but I haven't heard anything about for awhile. I think it's VERY important, and want to know if we'll see it REAL SOON.

Thanks!

What about the oh-so-vaunted #3?

3) Playing with lower level friends.

It's the devs that decided what Exemplar-ing should be, not us. All we asked for is #3, but we assumed that there would be a similar benefit to Exemplaring as there is to Sidekicking.

It just ain't so.

[/ QUOTE ]

Does this LOOK like a Burger King to you? You don't get everything YOUR way.

You assumed you'd get everything handed to you on a silver platter. You assumed that if you whined about something enough, you'd get something that would be all benefit, with no downside.

It doesn't work that way. The devs never said it would. They never promised it. If you don't like it, don't use it. But for crying out loud you whiney maggots need to STHU about it.

It's a dead parrot!

In reality, we have limited time to play, we like our cool powers, and much as though we like hunting with lowbie friends we still want to gain access to more cool powers.

That's why we play, remember?

Cool powers + Cool capes + Cool effects + new content + hunt with friends = desire to play.

---

Like it or not, people want XP... and if you are going to strip them off their hard-earned cool powers and new content you'd better give them a very good incentive to give it all up.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey. HEY!!! The "very good incentive" is to game with players you want to, reguardless of level. If you don't like it, DON'T DO IT. There is NO gun to anyone's head forcing anyone to use it.

Now STHU and game.

So in other words, you're saying we definitely won't see the difficulty slider BEFORE issue 3?

[/ QUOTE ]

Heh. No matter how much I stess that I don't know a definite timeline, I'll always get quoted on a specific date.

I most certainly did NOT say that. I would love it before...but that doesn't mean that it'll happen. There's so many factors that go into any feature...It'd be foolish of me to promise anything more definitive than "soon."

[/ QUOTE ]

States won't say it, but I will:
[Mr. T] I pity the fool that don't know how to read!

who gives a crap about some fools belief in a made up god... You need to deal with reality and stop bringing your foolish religion into games. 90% of the world could not care less..deal with it. If I was them I would NEVER take into consideration religion..for ANYTHING when it comes to PUBLIC games. Religion has NO place here.

Holy Issue #2 Day!

"enjoying every minute of it.... just so I can be pummeled to death by three guys with taser guns and web grenades... "

Which guys at level 40 are going to take you down with nothing but taser guns and web grenades?

You sling it Heph, but you need to double flush after some of your posts on this thread. Most of them are nothing but hyperbole.

"I've at the peak of my Bio-Rythms, and I'm taken down by three poodles with shock collars". It's old, it's weak, and at this point, it's just spamming the thread.

Since you posted that you had said all you had to say on the subject, and was going to take it offline with States, why don't you be a man of your word?

You keep thinking everyone who disagrees with you doesn't get it. It's real obvious that you, in fact, don't get it.

As to your "why bother" comment, I agree.

Don't.

[/ QUOTE ]I won't and neither will thousands of other players who'll find that CoH heroes are wimps in tights who have to be helped across the street by 6 sg mates. god forbid you get ambushed by 4 even con mobs.... they'll be rolling out the body bags and hearst for the mighty hero...

You're not going to find "joey, petey, biff and ramone... 4 guys with batons" at 40 level. This has ALL been explained to you, MORE THAN ONCE, in THIS thread. So if YOU want to be full of BS, and continue to bang the rocks together, at least stop polluting this thread with the same stale crap.

Krunch is lauded for being a leading element in a chorus of voices that resulted in Super Strength Tankers receiving an attack that can dispatch an even con minion in a single blow.

There is no one attack, on test or in production, that allows SS Tankers to consistantly, or even remotely consistantly, take out even level cons with a single blow.

your presumptions are meaningless. 3 even level minions shouldn't be a challenge for a super hero. plain and simple. and Jack... a level 50 minion might be a challenge to a level 48 hero or 3 to a level 49.... but to a level 50 they should be meat. I'm sorry that's they way you guys designed the game and I guess I've just grown too used to it. It's your baby you go with it... but that's a ride I'm not going to take.

[/ QUOTE ]

The name of the game is "City of Hero's" not "City of Supermen, Batmen, Silver Surfers, and Hulks".

Heros, not Superheros; you have to earn that. Where was your big whine about haveing problems with whites at level two? Level six? Level 20? Who elected you to decide what should be a challenge and what should be a cakewalk? Who are you to decide how tough things should be at 40? At 50?

I didn't think so.

You think you're level 40 and now you're "The Man". Fine, go kick butt in Perez Park. I'll bet your hero's colonge will be strong enough to clear the streets. That should make you happy.

Sounds like you've got a hard time adjusting to change. That's something you want to get looked at because life is all about change.

Have your much vaunted balance.... but please don't relegate me to getting my *** kicked by 3 minions at level 40.

WHERE did he say this was going to happen? WHERE?

NOWHERE!

He said it was going to be a challenge. Callenge does NOT equal "me to getting my *** kicked". It's pretty obvious that YOU"RE the one who doesn't get it.

States would never say this, but please, go ahead and beat the Christmas rush and LEAVE. Don't blather on about how you're going to take your marbles and play GTA IV. DO IT!

They haven't put it on the test server. They haven't even coded it! And already you're running around like chicken little with his head cut off. "The sky is nerfing, the sky is nerfing!"

Use two hands and get a GIANT GRIP on yourself. For a guy who says he hasn't played other MMORPGs, you don't seem to have any problem with shouting about how things WILL be. I'm guessing you enjoy the game so far, otherwise why would you still be playing it, unless you LIKE paying for things you despise. If you do, that's not exactly a "resume builder".

So please, drop the Chalupa, step back, and let "life's rich tapestry" actually get a chance to run people off the road before you start interviewing "rules lawyers".

Geeze!

I think the entire CoH community needs to push STRONGLY for Statesman to explain the specifics of this plan.

He says he doesn't care about how fast we level. But there's no way he's going to triple the experience we're earning for even level minions.

So at least my group will slow down dramatically. Becaues we regularly fight +3 and +4s.

And it takes, what, two thousand even level cons for some levels... But, hey, if they multiply the experience you earn by 1.5 that will only be 1300 or so!

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you need to take your meds.

If you're regularly fighting +3 and +4 levels, you ARE going to slow down. That's THE PLAN. So understand it.

It's going to get tougher at higher levels. That means it's going to take longer, even if they give more eps per fight. I'm sorry if that bursts your min/max bubble.

In the future, standing proudly beside the American flag grants a hero this badge.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well I for one will not be getting this badge. I'm an Australian... no way am I going to suck up to another countries flag just to get a badge.

Then again our Prime Minister sucks up to your President every day, so why should this be any different.

Now THAT'S an opinion I can respect. I live 15 miles from The White House, and I can tell you, this town has more sucking (up) going on in it than a Reno bordello.

Just had this discussion on another board.

I don't know how to put this in a manner that won't make most Americans take offense at it, so believe me when I say I don't mean to be offensive in any way.

I am a Canadian, and proud to be so, just as I am sure many US citizens are proud of their country. I don't associate the US flag with any concept of "Freedom" particularly. I don't feel any emotion at all when I see a US flag. So for me associating "Freedom" as a concept and standing beside the US flag is meaningless. I am on the edge of taking offense at the fact that I am supposed to stand beside a meaningless (to me) flag as a symbol of my character's concept of "Freedom". Its kinda like taking your natural pride and emotional associations with your national flag and shoving them down my throat so to speak.

I don't hate the US, and I have (literally) never met an American I didn't like or find friendly. I have visited the US, and its ok, although I have no desire to live there. While I respect the US and its citizens, I don't see it as any greater a symbol of freedom or democracy than I do my own country or dozen's of other countries in the world. I know many Americans like to think of themselves that way, but much of the rest of the world doesn't share that view particularly.

I would be happier if they dropped the concept of a Patriot/Freedom badge entirely. Its not a big thing for me, and I understand what the devs are probably trying to express - but it rubs the wrong way on all non-US players (and there are a fair number of us I expect) to be forced to support an American-centric view of what symbolizes Freedom.

How would you feel if you had to stand beside the Canadian Flag?

oh and while we are at it, how come there is no Maple Leaf symbol in the chest details choices. There's a fleur-de-lys...

This is pretty typically Canadian. No one is forcing anyone to do anything. Don't take the badge. If everyone would turn to the left, now the right, I'm sure they will notice the complete absence of a gun barrel pointed at their head.

Where is the outrage at the Italian flag on The Family badge??? I guess my sensabilities are not as "Selective" as some others who play this game.

As to why there is no Maple Leaf symbol, why not ask why there is no Star of David symbol? Why is there no Brazilian Constalation symbol? Why are you only asking about the Maple Leaf? Sorry, but the rest of the world doesn't necessarily share the same view of entitlement that many Canadians do. It's not big deal to me, since I don't rely on Canada for much of anything, but it rubs the wrong way on all non-Canadian players (and there are a fair number of us I expect) to be forced to support an Canadian-centric view of what symbols belong in the game.

How would you feel if you had to wear the American Flag on your chest? Well that's the whole point, you're not forced to.

That badge offers no more advantage to a player in the game than a Maple Leaf on a characters chest would. It's a matter of choice.

And why was there no cry of foul play about the United States flag on top of city hall from the very outset of play? Well we all know that one.
