I tried that on a few toons and I'm not actually seeing any difference. For me its not just a MM. Its all characters, my log in screen and my character creator pages. I know its not my graphics card, nor my connection as all other games that are more demanding work fine.

Well another idea for adding in zones would be to have Recluse invade parts of Paragon City. Have zones like Boomtown, Faultline, Dark Astoria and Eden all become Co-Op zones or something. In fact why not make all the hazard zones in CoH become either PvP or Co-Op.

For those who really enjoy an extremely well put together base, I would look no further than the WOLF base by @Lykoto on Victory. I have seen many a base and it is by far the best I've ever seen. It is not 100% complete yet but trust me on this you would take a good while to find an incomplete part. Please check it out.

If there is money to be had they'll do whatever it takes to get it, even lvling a toon to 10 so they can spam you.

I like this change a lot better. If you have a team there can be no softloading. If real life happens and people DC but come back there can be no softloading. The only issue I can possibly see is if they DC for an extended period of time but don't quit...but that happened yesterday to me on Citadel and we still finished fine.

Oh and yeah streamline the Posi TF since it is kinda long.........

Um Tony there were a lot of people that did drop subscriptions with ED. There were plenty that stayed. It was an unpopular change but even that was tested on the test server before it was generally released. The only thing I don't like about this recent change is it had no advanced notice, no advanced testing and no advanced feedback. It was just dropped on everyones laps and chalked up to an "oops my bad it just slipped through." I've done TFs after this change. I've done SFs after this change. If the team is good then kudos it should be doable. If the team has bad luck and people DC due to whatever reason well try again next time because there is no help for you there. This type of change fixed a small, and uncomplained about problem but didn't take into account specifics of peoples situations. If they had changed the TFs/SFs first on and individual basis and then dropped this one I doubt there would have been any problems; but they did this first without addressing the problems in individual TFs and left quite a few, not everyone, angry.

The only redname response I seemed to hear about was on a completely different thread. So yeah I agree that its not good that nothing is being really addressed here. But for the majority of the posters here this change is definitly on the same lines as ED.

I don't think the issue is about bugs in this case. This is more of a QoL change then a bug change...so the questions should reflect how it changes the Quality of Life instead of if there are any bugs in it.

Forum surfing...better then work or gaming...ftw

Personally there needs to be a redesign of a lot of the hero side TFs and Villain SFs. Streamline the missions, knock them down to five or six missions that take a bit longer, lower the number of people needed...whatever but there are just some TFs I won't do because I don't have that much time to get at them...even with Softloading.

...damn...

Oh yes, I can see the light now! I can see how people were just breezing through TFs that are designed to be harder. I can see how making it so there is always a minimum spawn amount which can be eight hurts the farmers...oh wait...I can't. So in the end is this change so farmers can't farm? Or so people that have time constraints or real life issues won't be able to do a TF/SF again due to fear of blacklisting when something comes up and they leave?

I'm all for the addage, "if it ain't broke don't fix it." No one really had complaints about soft loading. if you did it okay good for your...here's a cookie. If you ground it out with 8 people okay good for you...here's a cookie. How someone else wishes to play, if it just constrains to themselves should not effect me and how I play and inversely how I wish to play if it only applies to me shouldn't matter to anyone else.

Sometimes I like the social part. Sometimes I like getting through a TF/SF/Trial/whatever as fast as I can since I've been on it for hours at a time and I swear if I see one more defeat all four zones away from where I currently am I'm going to snap. If my team agrees with me on that then we do it fast, we all end up happy and everyone else on a different server or zone doesn't care because it didn't conern them.

There are more important things to work on in TFs and such that people have been actually complaining about then soft loading. The ability for missions to accuratly reflect the team size was a good thing because real life happens so if it happens to someone on my team why should I suffer for it. Now the gameplay of others is affecting me and that is not cool.

Its not so much of a question, in my mind, of the TFs and such having minimum levels. Its just that this fix was addressing only a small portion of the problem, created a bunch of new ones for a solid player base, and left alone other parts that need just as much if not more actual fixing. They should fix the reward system first, then minimum group requirements for some of the hero TFs, and then work on the spawning rules for it. The soft loading part was the least complained part of the whole thing, if anyone actually did complain about it.

99,100,000 wow. Just remember your good friend LDP!

Tony I'll give you props for writing somethhing in this thread that was unique and never mentioned before. That being said, read the forum before you post. I agree that some content should be done as a team because its more interesting to do so. I just don't think everyone else does nor do I really care what everyone else does. When I do a TF/SF or a trial I team with people who want to do it. If someone wants to solo it then let them solo it and don't worry about them since in the end they are by themselves not bothering anyone. I've said it before, the devs had a good intention idea that sucks and needs to be re-examined and not made live before it is re-examined. And they need to inform people of changes of that nature. In the end if someone wants to farm an eight spawned mission with nothing but a bottle of whiskey and a bear named Zeus then best of luck to them. I just hope they give some whiskey to the bear.

The STF and LRSF wont' experience too many changes because you need eight to do those anyways. In the LRSF it does make the first mission a real pain to do and probably the fourth somewhat since a lot of people softload it for expedience; but then again its so simple to do now that you could litterally just run that straight with no problems; at least if you have a good team. The STF won't change at all since I've never done any real softloading on that one...maybe the tree mission but even that isn't too bad. Its the other, longer, more annoying TFs that are going to be hit and of course the Cap SF is now more annoying because it takes longer then 40 minutes to do...oh well. The change itself needs work, the way it was released needs work; they had good intentions but we all know the way to hell is paved with those.

Heh got two toons ready to go to 50! Then gotta figure out what to do next lol.

Time to add to my large collection of door items.

I'm thinking will power will be just like invul or energy aura..no big change there. Dual Blades, lets see we have katana, ninja sword (katana), broadsword, as well as battle axe and mace. Its been done over and over and over again lol.

Wow Babsy is dead...guess he didn't stay frosty.

Just a quick announcement the Dames of Hell are now an open toon VG so any and all toons are welcome. Trying to get our name changed but so far that's a no go. So we just call ourselves DoH.

I have a nice energy/fire blaster at lvl 50 right now. As much as I like fire (cause its pretty) the really fun powers like blazing aura, hotfeet and the AOEs have a slight tendency to agro a few dozen more people on me then I'd like. I do wish I could have greater fire sword though since I like fire sword a lot....but I'd really settle for a fear effect since most people are scared of getting burned anyways. Just a thought.

I know I have perhaps one of the weirdest combinations for blasters out there. Wondering if anyone has bothered to get a energy/fire up to lvl fifty or am I the only one. If I'm not what would you suggest to make a better PvP toon...yeah there's a challenge for you.
