Quote:I think we'll get a better idea of how viable something like this is once LoTRO goes F2P. The general thinking from people's guesses is that game is at least 2-3 times more subs than this one.Originally Posted by rian_frostdrake
ddo gets mentioned a lot, but I do kind of wonder about how much the example really shows. a modest game gettign a significant cash infusion, or a near-dead game getting a very modest infusion of cash that only looks good when expressed in percentages relative to how much they were making on subs. Maybe when coh 2 hits, a smart move would be to transition this game to f2p. they could still string it along for a while, but it would primarily be a feeder to the sub based sequel. that said, i dont disagree with munki much, if it went f2p, i wouldn't be really upset, but i kind of prefer the reliability of income that the sub fees give our game. f2p didnt help that game we all are thinking about that ncsoft killed much, even with relatively good reviews.
Now, just because a few MMOs do it, that doesn't mean CoH should. That isn't my point at all. -
Personally I don't care either way if this game went F2P. It can be done successfully, look at DDO. That games revenue and player base shot up. So if it were done the same basic way DDO was done I would have no problem with it.
That being said, I don't think it is needed either. -
Stacking different types of mitigation is awesome.

It is in fact. I was so sad after talking to him. The idea that the greatest experiment in freedom, plurality, and diversity this world has ever known could be destroyed made me hate Cole all the more.

You don't need anything particular on a team to be successful in this game. When I form teams I invite the first seven people to say yes.
Outside of specific extreme encounters, if you(general you) need a specific AT/powerset then you're doing something wrong. -
Quote:Really? I really like it and all, but the best since BioShock?Originally Posted by Zyphoid
Preatoria is the best game story I have encountered since Bioshock.
I realize you said encountered so you may not have played a lot of the big games the last few years(or maybe you've played them all).
I've enjoyed all the stories, but I disagree that they are better than such games as Dragon Age(and possibly Mass Effect, but I'm only about half way through and I'm not sold on that game yet). -

You sound concerned.
Is there anything else we, the player base, can do to help you cancel quicker? -
Hell I'll be content with that before Christmas. Though depending how they do the stories for the Incarnate slots we may get a TF for each side.

I really want Incarnate content but, I really want it done right. I'm willing to wait for I19 if I have to if that will mean there is A) a way to make my 50s better and B) something to do with my new super tweaked toons.

Quote:This. I'm ready for end game content. Difficult, challenging end game content. Stuff harder than the STF and LRSF. Anything less will be a disappointment.Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
However now we are ready for more end game content. Anyone not agreeing can just not run the new endgame content, sort of how like I am staying out of Praetoria. Seems fair to me.
All this other stuff we have been getting is nice, don't get me wrong. But it's not enough to keep my interest anymore. I19 is the issue that will decide if I keep playing or not. -
So how are you EU players posting and creating a character at the same time? Time to get to work!
-
My vote goes to four Emp/Sonic defenders with Assault. You wouldn't even need enhancements to steamroll most of the games content.

Quote:Ya know, I wanna be offended that you say that about blueside players(which I happen to be one), but I can't because too often stupid stuff like that happens on PuGs.Originally Posted by Kelenar
Blueside-only players? So "DON'T ATTACK THOSE PARKING METERS UNTIL THE TANK GRABS THEIR AGGRO!"?
(I kid, I kid. ... mostly.) -
Quote:I'm about 98% blueside only player(about 95% of that is on Scrapeprs). I've always felt that every player's role is to go nuts and start killing ****. Obviously the tools differ between ATs and powersets, but everyone has the same role when I lead a team.Originally Posted by firespray
Now, with all the ATs mixed up, no one is quite sure what their team role is. I expect this to get better over the next few months.
That would make me sad to watch.Quote:Originally Posted by Kelenar
On the flipside, post-GR is the first time I heard the phrase 'lead brute' used villainside. I was dismayed that the Brutes weren't having a carnage race to take the alpha.
IMO if you have to wait for the tank, then the entire team is doing it wrong. I prefer my tanks to push the pace and leap ahead once the current mob is starting to go down. If the tank is timid(which I see often), then I expect somebody else to start on the next mob(Scrapper, troller, defender, blaster, doesn't really matter)Quote:Originally Posted by firespray
This is exactly what I'm talking about. In many hero teams, it's common to let the tank head in first to take the alpha or herd. Most villains don't do this, so there's a lot of misunderstanding as to what's going to happen. It's not that either side is wrong, they just have different ways of doing things. It'll take some time for everyone to get used to the new team dynamics. When they do, I expect things will improve significantly. -
I don't mind the squishiness of my new spines/fire. I'll just play him like I do my Blasters. I play my blasters about as aggressive as my fire/SD Scrapper, so I guess nothing is really gonna change. Debt makes me all tingly inside.

Quote:I actually like this better, so I hope it doesn't get changed. So /unsigned to the OP.Originally Posted by StratoNexus
1 boss and 1 minion spawning frequently throughout a mission at x2 players is a fairly new thing (I do not remember seeing it prior to I18) and I do not believe it is WAI. Sure, it could be an occasional spawn, but this spawning is most definitely not how it used to be.
Usually once a floor/room spawns on pack that way, the whole room floor ends up being that way. This is not a good behavior. It is boring and not at all what I want out of +1 / x2-5 with bosses on. Bosses have been spawning way more than they should and it should be fixed. -

The only buff whose duration I would love to see increased is Speed Boost. Because I'm sick of spending half its duration reapplying it to an entire team, all of whom whine at me for it the instant they so much as see the buff icon blinking. It has the same 7.8 end cost and 2 sec recharge time as the buffs in forcefields, sonic, cold or thermal. Yet it only lasts half as long, for no apparent reason. I fail to see how making it last slightly longer would be overpowered.
Oh no, I won't have to run from one end of a mission map to the other rebuffing everyone constantly. (Because people always pick the exact moment it wears off to run in eight different directions.) Wait.... why is that a bad thing, again?
If your teammates start whining the instant SB drops(and I've seen people do it too), then they are bad teammates. Tell them you'll get to them when you get to them. If they need SB to function, then tell them to lrn2play. -

Quote:HOW DARE NCSOFT TRY TO MAKE AS MUCH PROFIT AS POSSIBLE!!! It's not like that is the entire point of the company existing or something....Originally Posted by Evilanna
But now they're starting to cross that line to where I think they're getting greedy and I refuse to support companies like that.
Seriously, if people are willing to buy this stuff(I'm not willing to buy a pack of lolemotes), then give me a good reason why they shouldn't keep selling these types of things? -

A few things about the build:
This is a build I've had for a few weeks as a possible respec for myself. Originally it had in all level 30-33 IOs but I changed them all to 50 for this post. That means you have 47.5% defense to all three positions. I don't think that much is really needed, so there is some wiggle room.
Your original build didn't really have enough recharge IMO, this build is a few seconds away from perma hasten.
I also stuck the Hecatomb proc into Smite since you will use that a lot more than Midnight Grasp.
Mine has slightly less regen, but more hit points.
I also prefer using only HOs in Siphon Life so you can get max benefit from its damage and heal. -

And people wonder why I usually play with the sound off.
What I really want is a market interface for SG/VG bases so I can escape all the yahoos who think I need to have a ton of shields on me while I'm buying and selling. I'd have my peace and quiet without inconveniencing people who don't mind inconveniencing others.
