I paid whatever I had to to make my stuff!

Would just be even more people flocking to the FotM's, more 50's running around that can't play their toons well, and being able to do this would make the game champions 2.....how'd that game turn out?

Anyways, bad idea IMO.

I have no issue with the incarnate stuff, haven't tried it yet tho. Like alot of others, I prefer leveling toons, rather than playing my 50's.

Personally, I'd rather see them concentrate on more content, like extending Preatoria all the way to lvl 50, or some other new "regular" content. I go at my own pace and afk alot, so tf content is mostly lost on me personally. Sadly tho, I see the next while being dedicated to incarnate development, rather than new content....too bad, IMO. The direction the game seems to be going is more focused on effects and powers and reskinning, which I feel is a shame, sorry to say. I doubt we will see alot more real content in Coh.

K, I'm back.....

I know it is hard to get people to unanimously agree about anything in a forum, but I don't see the big deal in the difficulty settings actually doing as it implies? Many have said this new stuff is easy and many have said it is hard. No one is wrong, cause everyones experiences differ. Some like a huge challenge and others want it to be a bit simpler....to each their own. Why can't the difficulty be set to fairly easy or to seriously tough? Then everyone is happy? I personally like a challenge and am willing to keep at something for awhile to finish it....at least until I have had enough, then I may like to lower the difficulty and move on.

How does it hurt anyone if there is an easier setting to get through some things for people who are frustrated or have a toon not equipped to deal with a certain situation? I see no harm in it myself.

That is all I am saying. I am not trying to debate weather the devs should make things harder or easier, just saying let the player set their own pace. This is (sorry to bring it up) just a game, meant for entertainment....let people play it how they wish. What one person does with their game experience should not affect anyone else. I think this covers many other forum topics as well! It's a game, who cares how someone else chooses to play it.

And people wonder why people farm? Lol

Gotta get loot for those shineys, so I can play the end-game stuff.

So the io's are optional argument is over! They are not.

Too often now in the forums I see people debate what is hard or what isn't......I think people are losing sight of something....

The whole IO and Invention thing is supposed to be "optional".....but is it really? For some of the newer content?

So, is all the content being added do-able with SO's only?? If so, great! Keeping in mind you can set your difficulty for -1/x1 or to +4/x8. That alone should cover the realm....can anyone do -1/x1, cause they should be able too. And those who want more challenge, or have sets up to their eyeballs, can increase their difficulty to a challenging level.

So, is it true that at -1/x1 with SO's only, anyone can do just about anything? If not, then it would seem IO's are not really optional perhaps?

And anyone complaining that anything is too easy, is just blowing smoke! Play at +4/x8 and tell me it is too easy? And if it truely is, get rid of your sets and see how it works? lol

Anyways, my point to this rambling is this, yes, I think some things are being made in this game with an "a good IO'd toon can do it" attitude, and they said they would not do that. Didn't they?? I have a few 50's I expect to do this stuff with, with no trouble...yes, they have sets....but my old elec/elec blaster with just SO's, from what I have read anyways, will not do too well!

I personally think everyone should be able to find a difficulty setting they are happy with and succeed in this game, weather they want it easier, or harder. And if it is still too easy for some, or too hard for some, then something needs to be looked at. Otherwise, why is there a difficulty setting at all. In my opinion, it should work like this, ANYONE should able to do anything at -1/x1 (tho it may get boring quick), and +4/x8 should be near impossible for almost anyone. That is how the range of difficulty should go........IMO

P.S. Preatoria not having a fateweaver/field analysts is a load of fudge!!! So many said it was too hard or too easy, but we had no way to adjust it for our own tastes!

I have a DB/SR brute at 39 and climbing...

I found life around this level getting tougher, so I dropped 300 mil on him in sets and capped melée and ranged defense. And now he's a beast! Even respecced out of aid self ...tho may get it later still. My advice then is to get sets before 50, unless you feel you can wait. I think my 39 to 50 run will be much quicker and less painful with my defense capped now tho!

300 mil is pretty cheap compared to most builds if you ask me! Why SR is nice!

Yup, just had same problem!

I mostly solo and the bane wins hands down, no contest! I've got both builds, they are both good for certain things, but the bane is gettin sets first for sure! Heavy teaming, I would say crab.

And yes, I sure hope they fix it so my bane doesn't have those useless arms on him!

I know with enough inf, almost anything can be made good.....but I just deleted a 37 claws/ea. I had my smashing/lethal defense pretty high with a few sets, but with all those psy arachnos, I wad getting way too beat up for a brute, in my books anyways. So he is gone now.

Just my 2 cents on EA

Ever since I got my first villain to 50 (dm/Inv brute).....I doubt I'll ever make another scrapper!!! Love the fury mechanic, vs unreliable criticals. Especially awesome from 1 to 22! Any combo is a breeze, I find! (to 22....after that their are some combos I dislike.)

SR has a taunt aura??

Personally, I don't try tanking with SR, cause if you do take some big hits....yer droppin like a sack of potatos! But that's just me! Invulnerable for tankin for me!

Never thought I'd say this....til I leveled one.....but I say DB/SR would work good! And it's pretty!

I deleted a claws/elec at 40....I didn't have io's, but without them he was one of the squishiest brute or scrapper I ever had....claws having low mitigation and elecs heal such a long recharge. I know io's would help alot, but decided he wasn't worth the investment.

Just my experience with the set.,..opinions will no doubt vary.

Any defense based toon will feel squishy until you io it and cap defense. Aid self can help too! My SR brute is capped and he's one of my most survivable toons!

And he is dual blades, so not much mitigation either! If you are SS or stone, or another good mitigation set, you are even better off! (gonna get phase shift myself, when Fitness becomes inherent.....just in case!)

I do think this happening on virtue is hilarious tho! Lol

If I ever have a chunk of inf I don't need, you guys can have it! Lol

Catch us if you can 88's......A Faction of Dark Tomorrow, #3 on Guardian....the old fashioned way only.....smashing baddies!

Amazing! Lol

You can post a thread about anything in these forums, even one that says mammals need oxygen to live, and a fight will break out! I find that both sad and hilariously entertaining! Lol


I knew it was a bad idea to post in the market section of the forum, since I am not a markteer myself!

Bye!

Btw.....read the whole thread before you attack. That is always a good idea!

You said I want the good stuff and I want to pay less? (you even put that in caps).....if you read the whole thread, you would have learned that i am one of the "iwantitnao" people and usually pay top dollar for my stuff......so you are quite wrong there.

Also, yes....sellers do set the prices, don't blame the buyers. Just cause people ARE willing to pay the big bucks, doesn't mean the seller has to ask big bucks. You can always sell anything, even pvp and purple io's for a buck....and voilà....the prices all drop for everything.
