This problem is still unresolved. Any feedback on this, Rednames? Anything?

Wow. I make a suggestion and recieve nothing but bile laced smarmy response. How underwhelming. Hey Im willing to bet you all go nuts whenever someone you see has just got a haircut. Ripe pickings in the land of cool huh?

Right now Virtue and Freedom are the only flush servers. If there were only six servers or five then the "quiet" would be maintained minus the desolation factor. Seriously today on Protector nobody was on Perigrine Island. Ghost town.

I understand y'all have 20 50's and can speak COH abbreviation like a military linguistics operator, but being a spazzy tool is hard to hide. Chill out folks. The idea has some merit, and I wouldnt be surprised theres always a long whine fest whenever someone suggests something out of the norm.

This has been happening to me too. No other applications are running and this started with the latest patch update.

Good morning, all.

Anyone experiencing issues with the game app and OS locking up due to a sound loop when playing? I started having this issue with the latest patch installation.

Thanks in advance.

So, they should punish people on Freedom and Virtue just for being on a higher-populated server?

[/ QUOTE ]

YES! We should all be the SAME.

Embrace the PosiNation!

LOL!!! The changes haven't really fixed anything. The farming is harder but it's still happening. So you can't create all boss or all LTs farms anymore. So? People are just going to make standard missions with a mix of minions to bosses and run the same missions over and over again.

Until they completely remove xp from the AE missions NOTHING will change. And when they do that expect to see lots of tumbleweeds in the AE building.

LOL @ Janlee's post!

I'm of the mindset that to each his own but methinks you were reported by the anti-farming fascists that play this game.

Interesting.

I've noticed that when I made custom bosses and set them up as the "boss to beat" at the end that they get mixed into regular mobs with minions and LTs on higher levels as bosses. Why doesn't the engine just spawn more minions and LTs? Do I have to create another boss for it to drop on the map to avoid using my "real" boss?

Anyone know why this happens?

There is a very fine line between fun & challenging and just stupid.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good point.

I've decided not to so much pay attention to the rating vs. reading the arc description. If it looks interesting I'll play it and give it a fair shot.

Some people actually design their missions to be hard, challenging, and entertaining. That what is so fraking great about this new release. People were complaining about old and blah missions and wanted something fresh. Personally, I can't remember the last time I was this excited about playing this game. I really really tip my hat to the CoH/CoV team.

Anyhoo, it's not the fault of the mission creator that there are segments of virtual wussies out there that tuck tail and run at the first sign of a challenge or hard fight. I'm finding that if a mission is really good and fun to play that word gets around. At least that's been the case for me.

I don't care how often this subject is brought up.

Great idea and it's long overdue.

Can you help me open this jar of olives?

Whew.... happy it's just a lame joke.

I almost canceled my account.

...the pistol sound needs fixing. It doesn't sound right at all, especially with the size of the hammers I'm toting around. They should at least sound like the handguns used by those Longbow Guardians.

Meh, that's nice and all but when are we getting our own apartments/homes where we can store our stuff?

Thank you for taking the time to put together a fantasic guide!

Jack, we are seeing threads now regarding a major change to Invincibility getting defense knocked down to 1.5 percent.

Any truth to this and how will this affect our role as meatshields and aggro managers?

Tom (your avatar reminds me of Jack Nicholson),

The sad truth is that our tanks do blow chunks now.

In all seriousness, soloing is really the only option I have. I can no longer effectivly manage aggro and protect my fellow teamates. I've been on more successful teams made up of controllers (that can heal), blasters, and scrappers.

My reply was 'teh funny' though, huh?

Edit: Upon further review I now see 'Stan Lee'.

The new "role" for my tanks consists of standing around in their colorful costumes and looking pretty for the public. They get to spend the day signing autographs and telling stories to the up and coming heroes of the 'good old days' when tankers were gods and villains cowered in their presence.

Now when villains come around (and my tankers are forced to fight) they turn around, lean against the wall, and assume the "gaping" position.

Yep. Thanks to ED I have learned that I don't have do a sentence in the Big House to get man handled and donkey punched.

Okay. Seriously. I solo. A LOT.

Ouch. You gave me a headache and made blood run from my ears.

Because honestly, would you STAND in fire?

[/ QUOTE ]

Would I? No. But I can't fly, set myself on fire without taking damage, generate a patch of ice below me without a large investment of money and time. While we're at it if a guy in spandex jumped off the top of a building and walked/leaped toward me I'd run away, if I wasn't just staring at him going "Whaa". Now add in him throwing chunks of ice, bolts of energy, or wielding a large battle ax and I would most likely either be running away screaming like a little girl, or curled up in a ball crying. I however am not a minion for a criminal group in a world where those kinds of things are common place.

Let’s assume I am. I have just received the insight needed not to stand in a patch of fire, and to instead run away. What else should I be smart enough to do....

I stress again give me 1 good reason that someone would stay in hand to hand with a guy that only has a sword when he and all of his friends have guns? If you can't come up with a good reason that doesn't involve, well it would make all scrapers useless then take the fear away from burn.

Buji.. great great great post.. please go up a few posts if you haven't read this one; it's not only funny and sarcastic.. but oh so true. If the devs don't read this post and say HMPF, he's got a point, what the heck are we doing... I'll be surprised. Burn is fine the without added Fear.. minimize the damage to make it less effective as a single mob killer.. but don't add Fear!

Damn that's funny. Good post.
