Fellow heroes, disturbing information has come to light.

IOW, the nerfs in issue 2 are going live without any of the changes suggested in about 1000 comments on the subject...

[/ QUOTE ]

I was wondering who would be the first to turn this into a nerf whine... Want some cheese with that?

I couldn't do State's job, I'd be too tempted to troll folks.

ROFL! I have done Jack's job...just not here... And I DID troll people! *hides!*

All your Paragon are belong to Rikti?!

I have a sneaking suspicion that his spaghetti and garlic bread are backing up on him and he just wanted to give fair warning before he flies overhead....

But I still think that if I want to follow a story arc, solo I should be able to.

Where is the outrage at the Italian flag on The Family badge?

[/ QUOTE ]

Uh, I don't know squat about badges.

Is this a joke or did they do that?

Because that will seriously piss off a lot more people :-).

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, and every last one of them in need of help that even Billy Crystal couldn't provide...

I am all in favour of the American flag. The game is made by Americans played mostly by Americans. No problem here. Anyway, it's only a game and in this game I am playing a character IN AMERICA.

AMEN! How crappy would movies be, at any time in history, if actors couldn't portray roles other than what they already are irl... Imagine, NO ONE playing any WWII German roles... NO ONE playing any cold war era russians... NO ONE singing any anthem other than their naturalized one...

It's pretty pathetic, this whole argument. My gods in heaven, hell, and purgatory, as well as many other planes of existence, people...and, apparently, I'm using that term loosely.

If this game was made by Brits, in Brittain, and it took place in London, and all the buildings were flying the Union Jack (that's what ya call it, right?), and they made a badge called the "Patriot" badge whereby you had to stand and salute the flag atop the Parliament building? I'd either do it to earn the badge, or not. Me personally? I'd do it. It's a [censored] game, for crying out loud.

Yes, if it was a russian game, based in russia, and my freakin' comic book character had to salute the good ol' hammer and sickle? Ya damn skippy, I'd do that too.! Again, it's a [censored] GAME!

Some people... It wasn't the devs bringing politics into the game...it was the players who can't separate an MMORPG from reality...

On another note, I like the Freedom Badge idea, too...

When do I get an Infinity badge? *hides!*

It'd be a good idea to simply have a range requirement on xp gains, so you can't be across an area soaking up xp; that means you have to be at the keyboard to group up and gain xp, even if you're staying out of harms way.

I agree with this...In fact, IMHO, I think that if you are out of combat level boost range while being sk'ed, you should revert to unsk'ed experience gains (i.e.; none).

After all, you're out of range...If you don't get the benefit of the sk'ed combat level, you shouldn't benefit from the experience earnings. That would, for the most part, fix it without hurting those people who actively sk/level, such as when my wife (level 41 now) sk's me and we do her missions.

And, by the way, to the person casting aspersions on the abilities of those sk'ed to actually help in a grouped situation...? You're completely clueless, apparently. My wife works the minions, I get the attention of the bosses and LT's and take them down while she works the lowbies with ae's. I contribute quite a lot.
