And STILL the thread jackin' continues.

Im with the healer first guys on this one. Why only tonight I was in a double empath team qand we needed to heal fast and furious that buffs came in when we could fit them. Had we buffed first we would have been buffing corpses.

That said I do get annoyed at team members who seem to lack the understanding that a buff is going to increase chances of their survival than a heal they dont need so much.

Anyway back on point Im only level 25 with my empath so I cant see me having thst badge anytime soon.

Well I put this off for a long time knowing only too well something as wrong but also knowing the person who raised it publicly would run the risk of being branded an ogre. Its a risk Ill just have to take.

Over the last few weeks I have seen alot of good quality people leave and I have sincerely missed them. Im still left with a few good quality people around. But sad to say Im supprised at some peoples behaviour lately. I have eluded to people before on these forums becoming increasingly cliquey. And I rather wanted to see evidence of the contrary. Fact is its getting worse. Unless you are in one of these cliques. And Im not the only one to notice. If I were Id ut it down to paranoia or backstabbing at my expense and on the latter it still may well be.

I find the worst part of this is its from some of the players you would expect more from.

I could name names and instances but Im not going to. First of all its not my way and as we know its against forum rules anyway. Its got so bad that each time I come back form breaks due to PC not working I wonder wh I bothered. And tonight after another week it was much the same.

The other week I was finding excuses not to log on. I got to the login screen and couldnt enter game. Peoples attitudes are frankly spoiling mine and other peoples enjoyment I spoke to. I avoid community events now and stayed away from the Valentine party becuase of it. I was there for 5 mins and it reminded me just whats wrong with the community lately.

I cant explain how its happened or why. But all I can say its that two weeks ago every day I came to these forums I wrote my leaving post and edited it before coming back in and giving it a chance. I have had some great fun with The Forgotten Warriors lately and I decided to just try and get on but not long after Im back thinking perhaps I should go.

In the end its not the nerfs or the devs decisions which I so passionately objected to that are the turning pint. Its the current sate of the players that is driving me away. Hell even tonight I dropped from a team I was in due to technical error. And when I spoke to two members of the team they logged minutes later without so much as a goodnight and thanks for the team. Basic manners and consideration seem to have gone out the window.

I know people are not going to like to read this or simply dismiss this. Well especially if they are in a clique themselves. But I stand my ground. Its getting worse by the week.

Thanks guys

Tis good to be back. Have to say though I've noticed a change in the mood of the community since I've returned, which tbh has taken a slight turn south.

A pity, but maybe people are generally just roleplaying their villains too much

Ah thank you. You noticed too. That was what I meant by nice to see someone with integrity come back. Ive discussed it with a few people who seem to think something is up. I didnt want to mention it on your return thread is all. I thought it best placed elsewhere.

Well since xmas I signed up for two and couldnt show due to the ongoing saga that is Lodestar against Quaytec:The PC Wars. Hence last Hammi I said Ill be there if I can and I missed it by a few hours. Well depending on wether action from the authorities is taken late ths week or not then I may be there. I can just reinstall windows as I have done tonight. But I haveto say community events are becoming a drag last two months. So maybe, maybe not.

I really dont think you need to appologise. Though I see why you feel you should explain. You know whats best for you. I would have posted sooner but I just reinstalled windows again to get my pc working for a few days more.

Take care Chesty all the best I sincerly mean it.

Welcome back Sar. Glad to see a player of integrity return.

I really wished I been there for you Mary. Im so sick I missed it. lousy PC keeps [censored] up and spoiling CoH for me. Really sorry but huge gratz to you. Was well earned.

PC packed up again early last week. I doubt I would have shpwed for this anyway.

Mind does have Mass Confuse, but it's the last power you can pick up.

Thats right yes. Been so long since I looked at the power list I forgot. Not leveled old baldie up in a while. I stand corrected. Thanks Stasis

Ah hell. My post didnt go in earlier this afternoon. Well I did try and I hope you had a great day. Sorry post went wrong.

Could this thread be more hijacked? It was about a ninja blade set not how weak regen was.

Personally I think the fitness line is a waste of powers for */regen. I always preferred to go for the toolkit of useful abilities giving flexibility, rather than trying to max out numbers, as you will always find a PvP situation that messes those numbers up

It very much depends on the style of PvP though - either zones against villains or arena matches. You aren't going to meet any storm powered villains (the most you'll have to deal with is cold, rad or dark). And even so, group vs.one-on-one can differ greatly too.

I cant say I would ever regard fitness pool useless. On any set. As for regen what is the point of having a power that is supposed to be well powerful on end and health when others get stamina and are not much slower than you? Fitness hammers home the regen strong suit.

I do get what you mean about mixing pools up though for that well balanced as you can get build.

Yet other days I've had to turn people down coz the Tells (a lot blind) from all levels are going mad! That or ending up on an 8 hero team with 3 Empaths!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I found that as well. When I actually had a team, I'd get loads of /tells asking for help, but when I needed a team...nobody wanted me!

[/ QUOTE ]

My empath is well stuck. Its not very pleasent logging on as him these days and people keep asking for Lodestar for some reason. I actually find this amusing at times.

I cant seem to open my Tyrant arc. Done all others but she says no more work for me. What haveI not done?

Well in Krunch. Scored another 50 for the Hull crew (ok Beverley but close enoough)

Happy Birthday Snow. Ill let you Turtle wax Private Eyes head as a treat if you want.

Oh happy birthday Rabbit.

All the best Tyl. For a week now I have ben trying to write my goodbye post but havent been able to express it.

A shame I missed your spam on arena chat but I had to disable it due to others abuse of it. So you can blame them .

Take care Tyl.

Oh ok. Had lots of laughs through coaltion chat with you and the swer trial of course was good fun.

Hop all goes smoothly for you.

I was told it all stays until 22nd. hmm Oh well. I have a bunch of alts that will miss out. thing is Im in two minds about bothering.

Gratz Zane well done there. A truly nice guy and worthy of respect in my less than humble opinion.

Having played my SR a bit more recently, I've seen more Regen scrappers die in the 44 - 46 range than just about any other powerset. It surprised me too, but I guess there's just a lot of crappy Regens out there.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well ya know its hard when you dont have an uber power to call upon... *cough cough* Elude.

[/ QUOTE ]
Maybe you shouldn't jump to conclusions about my playstyle, thanks. I barely ever use Elude in teams these days - the main occasions in which I do use it are when a) I need extra endurance, or b) when I'm bored and feel like taking on those two big groups over there on my own - Elude, Shockwave, hilarity ensues.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not going into peoples playstyles but I notice alot of scrappers die because they wade in and slug it out. In facty alot of players die no matter what AT because they dont back out when in trouble. Regen clearly has an advantage here as you can dart in and out pummeling enemies and backing off. But thus tactic is not solely restricted to regen .

I dont have a PvP build but I am thinking resiliance has its purpose in even PvE. I used to have it at one point. If your toggles drop it really can help.

Also Regens are not immortal as some elitists may claim. So when using an awaken it lessens the time of stun and helps you get back in.
