  1. Ok that not losing speed i beter word different and explain beter.

    So happily cruising along , pop boss around the cornor , each boss takes me 1-2 blues inspiration just to kill it .
    So i have to keep 1-2 blue inspiration to kill a standard boss .
    I will see once i get past the 40 levels , if its too hard to solo or i have to maxout IO cause damage low cant be fixed other then going bane route .
    Now running 0.43 endurance toggles , i have to slow down after 2-3 standard trash mobs .
    Running no toggles brings it to 4 (but health inspiration costly)
  2. Always the same story >.<

    IF you dont click and just make a bot and just chat while playing you will never have endurance problems with any build godsake even forget about taking stamina .
    If you team always you will never know how hard DAMN BABS Elite boss version hit :P
    (babs you are a cheater your EB version costed me full tray of big inspiration)

    Go kill a Elite Boss or try to do a 15 min mission with your build solo .
    FAIL !!!!
    So that issue solved , new generation of players like to click !!
    Dont like to rest , like to do hardstuff , they wont want slow pace AFK action then put on auto follow , if i want that i can use my 2nd account to bot my 2nd character .

    Now each there own play style , i am saying this from fast solo perspectief .
    Damage is too low is ok its fair , but the endurance is killing me that i have to slot my inspiration setup with atleast 3 blues to not lose speed .
  3. Well i can easily fire off crab powers without a backpack it totally looks ridiculous .
    But heck its possible

    Just load a costume from the witch .
    And voila you can run around in that zone without a backpack firing off goofy rays .
    before the next zoning sticks the silly backpack back onto you .

    So its possible to have without a backpack .
    Now either its redrawing of backpack to solve the crab/bane respec build .
    Thus costing more animation time .

    Or 2nd give us more epic archtype costum slots .
    So we can run around with atleast some variantions in costumes .
    QoL issue again , but seriously just make it possible , its part of super villains or heroes to have a alternate identity , without the crab legs sticking out !
    Or me paying tailor token every time .
  4. Sorry unless i IO out the soldier and widow to the maximum .
    I dont think its quite fun for the new people coming in going rogue .
    To see them eat the floor so fast , with all those defense debuff ranged attacks .

    Honestly without defense debuff , i am getting chewed out there soloing .
    Unless i max out on purple inspirations during tough fights .
    (it almsot feels like soloing from 40+-50)

    And also side note the soldier single target damage is way too low without assault .
    Take assault and you have endurance problems (again expensive ios solves the problems, but expensive IOs solves even soloing AVs)
  5. I want the one with the 4 ribs back !!!

    ITs there just some whining people made only the one without ribs available !!!
    So where is the second crab pack or the orginal one its still there just not flagged.

    Cause honestly am tired looking at a egg with 4 legs .

    And side note , Babs can you please have the back pack tied to crab armour power.
    Since its a must have anyway for crab spiders .
    So if you dont have the passive crab armour power . that silly backpack wont show .
    Solves the crab / bane build .

    I hate to pile on, but IMO pistols make no sense at all for a melee character and the idea of selling an AT is awful. As part of a major expansion like COV or GR, sure. But as a standalone booster pack, no.
    Thats the point pistols fall into the mid range section a blaster is long range .
    Its not about it making sense or not sense , its a superhero game after all .

    The only thing is balance , balance can be tweaked with numbers or damage .
    Payable AT is good , the same comment we had before with payable booster packs.
    Nobody needed a wedding pack or cyborg pack .
    But with the ninja pack it all changed . the impact is huge , you would be silly not to buy that pack .

    So if you dont buy that pack that power alone shift the balance already into the paying game .
    Now AT for sell would bring in additional avenue or resources , especially since its not a pvp AT , so people who love pvp wont be at a disadvangetage .
    PVE wise its just one of those special AT . you dont have to play you dont have to pay .
    Those who love it will buy it , those who dont let it go its not a standard AT .

    Well same back to you babe .. is the simple reply .
    So no hard feelings the net is the net ..
    So who cares i wouldn´t even lose sleep over it .

    ******** or not , its a request for suggestions .
    You have your opnion , and i have a request and even more if its payable and profitable.
    You dont have to pay i will pay for the booster class .
    Guess tons will too and balance issue isn´t hard to solve .
  8. No a dual wield pistol with defense is just for kicks tried a lot of ways of playing the MM dual wield but gotten bored past 10 since its a MM after all who relies on the pet to solo.

    Now lets talk balance since you want to talk balance.

    Now in team concept the dual wield pistol person should be damage wise a lower then blasters thats solved by not giving them a endgame tier 9 nuke .

    Range should be only max medium range .
    So no snipe shot .

    How would a auxilary powerset stacker with all longrange moves break a game ?
    Its already there what you are discussing , just i want a full set dual wield .
    With medium to high defensive .

    Infact illusion controller were the tank mages back then with invisibility did it break the game ?
    Heck no it was fun to play . something different , forcefield defenders where tank mages.
    Broke the game ? heck no
    Do i have to continue on what pre global nerf combinations were .
    heck hell i have a semi scrapper range with claw set , does it break the game ?

    Now i just want the artistic of dual wielding and even if they copy the claw set , just ad a couple single target shot at range 15 is fun enough to play .
  9. Interesting indeed this post .

    Starts with harrassments..
    Turns into trolling and flaming .
    Case solved harrassment.
    Trolling and flaming more important then harrassment .
    Turns roleplay bashing into cybering ...
    Turns into griefing ...

    Woot very very interesting
    *eats some more popcorn*

    Here some more fire to the wood , am roleplaying eating popcorn :P
    Popcorn is not pie
  10. a handgun thats realistic and fires a lot of bullets is called a machine pistol .

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glock_pistol

    Why go futuristic , when you have the real thing around

    Whats wrong in giving them more money ..means more development .
    Less desirable in teams ? thats grasping at straws .
    There is no less desirables in team in cox , grab a bunch of toons one healer one tank.
    Done the rest is player skills .

    This game isn´t about desirable in teams , its about desirable players and skills in team .
    And as always if you see you must pay , its a good thing means it will work .
    The more people moan about paying , are infact the first one to pay for new stuff .
    Thats human pyschology .
  12. paying for a powerset makes income . makes us have more development .
    Since dual wield blaster set with defensive secondary , is hard to balance in conventional mainstream .

    Maybe the boosterpack option sets it possible.
    Hurray you buy 2 boosterpack , the cyborg for jumpjet .
    The ninja run .

    And voila you dont need travel powers at all ...or dip into the optional powerset.
    Everything is reachable with that option , or have a hover with ninja run power.
    Nothing you cannot reach .

    That already broke a bit the balance of need for a travel power thus eating up 1 or 2 powerslots .
    So if its possible to buy stuff , it means its balanced differently
    Thus the no pvp option

    Forced isn´t a ugly word , cause you are not forced to get IO .
    Still people get them ,
    Forced isn´t bad cause a lot of people can´t deal with freedom given.

    Do or not do , is the issue , look at AE anybody with a brain would tell you people in the end were forced to do AE mission cause it brings beter reward.

    NOW put the best reward in a impossible TF , you dont have to do it .
    But enough people will go for it , "force" others to come along cause they can´t solo it .
    Its still optional , but the twist is that people in the end are all forced to do something .

    Endgame sadly is about forcing people to do stuff , something majority wants .
    Cause the name END GAME says it all , the game ended .
    Just people dont see it that way , they see ha thats where the game starts
    So dont see my force as a force to do stuff .
  14. Well i can only say from MMO perspectief .
    Is to give in to the endgame content .

    Its not that veteran players are leaving , its more that you need fresh blood to keep a MMO going , sometimes the fresh blood are worst then what are gone .
    In the end a MMO runs on people you like or meet , in this perspectief .
    CoX doesnt have a endgame kills a otherwise terrific product .

    Also the all new content and features makes the game sometimes look like a jigsaw puzzle.
    Too many options for the new players , they could drown before they even reach 50 .
    The too repetitive issue of the mission is a problem , but every mmo suffers from that .

    Well i think maybe somebody should post a 1-50 fun guide with all the extra temp powers , event and accolade badges , seems most people playing wow just follow guides .
    Most raid guilds raiding new contents just read up on the stuff , instead of experimenting themself .
    Its the new generation you need to keep hooked the old ones are slowly dissapearing .
    Or feel lost with all the new additions , so maybe time to bring out cookie cutter guides from 1-50 with min max value of fun for the new players .

    What keeps most people around is that CoX is so casual as hell , you log in play a couple hours then log off . just sadly there is no forced endgame that keeps veteran longer hooked or make time for each week .
  15. Dual wielding pistol scrappers brutes stalkers ... or just a new class itself.

    But with a twist :P
    Make it a booster class buyable , thats not pvpable only pve perspectief.
    Since its a buyable class , it shouldn´t conflict with so much balance issues .
    And everybody can get it if they really want it .

    Come on with the new terrific ninjarun booster travel power .
    You can count the money people paid for that one :P
    Its time to earn some more profit into Dual Wielding Pistol scrappers ...

    The Architect Entertainement makes choosing powers easy for npc .
    Shouldn´t be so long before you can apply it to make a dual wield pistol scrapper or brute or stalker ..

    Thank you for reading the annual request . and offcourse i will have tons of No .
    But it would be nice again to see developers do something different with a booster pack .
    Booster class ^^

    Ah well if the idea is already used for going rogue .
    Then when is going rogue coming ?
  16. Well 1 $ a month ... is a bit cheap isnt it , well if they want to make it purchasable .
    Then make it double the money of a monthly subscription . so 30 $ a month .
    Fair deal you can pay extra to buy back loyalty
    Or just wait like the rest for the normal price , some crazy people would gladly pay double .

    Now to all you people who say paying doesn´t support the game .
    Freaking hell it does , income is income , neither the developers or creators or moderators live on good will or wishes .
    offcourse playing and paying supports it even more .

    But then again you play a game cause you love it .
    Anyway if you want the veteran reward just have patience .
    A subscribe account maybe not active , is beter then a none subscribed account who only returns every new issue for a month .
    While player wise maybe the none subscribe account player is more active .
    Income and keeping the server and issue development running . the person isn´t .
  17. Sorry you dont see teams often looking for a scrapper as a necessity .

    They will look for a scrapper but not usually to tank or pack of scrappers to replace a tank .
    But the main reason for wanting a scrapper is to provide a team balance or a wild card .
    But honestly any player worth there salt or any AT worth there salt , can do that wild card trick a lot beter in team cooperation .

    Scrapper like brute except for certain builds (every AT has a exception build or had a exception build prenerfs ), are more a single target with limited AOE abilities,

    Truth is you are comparing it wrong .

    Solo play almost nothing beats a scrapper till 32+ (thats the stage where corruptors dominators , controllers masterminds takes over and leap away )

    For team play scrappers are not that bad or terrific . its more the player behind it that makes it terrific or plain .
    But the same counts for all AT . even the worst assault rifle blaster can make a huge impact in wellplayed hands . there dpa plain stinks :P
  18. Not too worried if the old model is gone as long there is a Halloween Custom option.
    Or something else in a trial or strikeforce to go for it .

    Some RPers made there toon based on the end power of stone armour.
    So wouldn´t want to lose that look options

    Otherside if changing VFX means nerfing the heck of granite form >.<
    Something i think will happen sooner or later .
    I am not sure if that will go down well .. Granite form is something like Rage for SS.
    Take it away the set looks so plain , other side it needs some balancing though .

    Truth is not wanted in this modern times , distraction drama jackasses .
    Godsake look at the cinema of these days says you enough .
    What we would classed B movies are now A movies .

    Stories written with a no brainer , morals what are morals ?
    Entertaining yes it is for the dumb and dumber ..
    Infact isn´t it sad that series on TV has beter plots then 90% of the cinema release.

    So whats the truth ? that the world has become dumber and dont want to recognise it.
    Whats the truth ? well everybody has there truth but then suddenly how many variations of truth do you have .
    If i just replace truth with a lie in the same lines .
    What makes more sense ?

    Nothing could be further from the Lie ?
  20. The only character i have that could obtain 100 fury is DB/WP brute (Still with crappy IOs sets)
    All others usually drop too fast past 80 to be noticable .
    But the 100% is attainable and can be maintained if you dont kill off stuff fast enough :P

    Cause you kill off stuff fast enough , and have very few things hitting you the fury drops really fast , but past 85 fury the drop rate of fury is too fast and done for a purpose .

    Did you try to stack up huge amount of minions that attack you while you cannot be hit
    By popping purples or activating some accolade powers in your test.
    And do crappy damage to them , think in that test envoirement you will find you can maintain it around 95% fury. just they dont last long .
  21. Think its the science origin that does it , and maybe mutation origin (been a while since i created a mutant one).
    Its usually the sewer missions indeed , that send you back and forth.

    But i really can´t remember OP mission from my head though.
    Send to herocorps person is usually level 10-15 explaining reputation and difficult setting.
  22. Sitirel you hit the sweet oilspot .

    But sadly where does all education starts with the envoirement around.
    Where does all the tolerance or leniency comes from with the envoirement .

    Currently Blaiming a video game or blaiming something is the case to do , cause of bad or lazy parents or lazy teachers or neighbours or whatever .
    But its simply the community or media of this time .

    Now sorry you cannot have much common sense in this world , when good guys on media plain out murder people . Where death counts are cool , where violence wins over reason .
    Where politician main issue is just to do nothing as much as possible , instead of speaking up for the wellfare of the people .
    Sure they do that during election time , but lets see the agenda , how many items of the agenda has been implemented , you are lucky if even 20% of the list gets done.
    And next time nobody say he look i voted for you , but you didn´t get squat done .
    Cause we all expect it .

    Now sorry you can say its not your fault , but lets see even if we all vote extreme right or extreme left , do you think those representing extreme right or left nowadays .
    Will really implement there plans ... sadly not even those are that guilible nowadays .
    Infact maybe the most common sense people are the politician , the world is mess .
    Instead of cleaning up the mess , lets just enjoy our time and play the PR role .

    Now sadly if you look at what changed so much in society , the main reason is the youth.
    What changed the youth so much , is that they really lack focus , in a age where brands are cool , pwn leet and whatever is cool ... tolerance is being taught wide spread .
    But everything taught is not cool , hanging out in the streets doing stupid things is cool.
    Now who is to be blaimed for all this , definetly not parents right . cause none of us teaches those kids rubbishe things , we try to raise them up sensible .
    So ask again , you allow video games or media where such rubbishe like headshot .
    Everything is about being Leet , everything is about kill counts , sure for us grown up post war stage is a joke and we laugh about it .
    But for them its SERIOUS BUSINESS , a net reputation for them is the BOMB .
    More important to some of them then real life performance or education .
    So where does all this crap come from , it didn´t come from the post war parents .

    No new contact?

    Nope i usually run out of levels before i get report to atlas park chief , kill 10 hellions mission .
    level 2 hit atlas park from tutorial , do the 1st and 2nd mission level 4 , by the time i even get the third its level 5 .

    There is not starting contacts its contact . its origin base.
    Its quite hard to not gain levels since most missions are in the populated level 4-5 zone.
    So killing a couple mobs already gain you a level .

    But anyway the fun part starts around level 5 skip the hollows so dont do missions in the hollows .go back to kings row do 3 paper missions , one bank mission for raptor pack.
    Then back to doing the contacts till you get all 5 origin contacts .
    That will set you up with tons of possible choices till level 50 , and way to get all achievement badges solo .
    And some wonderfull story arcs too later on .
  24. Lonelyshade

    No new contact?

    I think he refers you to the next contact on level 5 , not earlier
    I dont know how you ran out of mission or not gain experience to be level 5 .

    Cause all the mission fillers and street killing makes it almost impossible to be not level 5 before he stops giving missions.

    So congrats on doing something almost impossible.

    Tell them lies sweet little lies .
    and give them epix , if they stop paying bribe them with more epix .
    boost the quiters class , then stealth nerf it slowly back.
