Quote:The only problem with that being the main purpose is most fan fiction is really really bad.Originally Posted by Felderburg
That's exactly what I thought.
Well, if you're looking to do AE missions only for the XP, that may be the issue. In my opinion, the main purpose was to let players share their own ideas and content with other players. It's basically officially sanctioned fan fiction. -

Yes, the AE is broken NOW, no matter that you could go from 1-50 in 2 hours, that wasn't broken. Only everything they've done since then is broken ...
Srsly? -

This is the anser that I received when I tried to join a MSTF, i have a IO'd out build, but I want to hear other people's opinions about why regen is/isnt good for that TF?

I vote for DM/SR. But I'm biased since MunkiLord is a DM/SR Scrapper.

Quote:I don't think any of this is a big deal. At all. However I do believe that people making a big deal of this(regardless of what side of the discussion that person falls) are being foolish.Originally Posted by Frosticus
I think the discussion has moved past where you think it is.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Castle say he is the one that did the original design for SC?
And if I'm reading correctly it never made it into the live game following that design principle. He then Ok'd it for a massive change, but didn't bother to check the results of that change.
He also referenced incorrect information about the power suggesting he didn't even have the right information until Arcana provided it (I don't think I was alone in my "who farted" look at the numbers he posted). How long would this issue have gone unnoticed for? I mean it wasn't noticed from the other numerous postings about the power prior to this.
I'm honestly not trying to be disrespectful I'm trying to find out why this break down has occurred. There are a lot of things I'd like to see happen in this game. They have less likelihood of happening if the powers team needs to revisit things and dump hours and hours into fixing something that should have been rectified before it ever went live. And if not then, then certainly when a second change to the power was authorized. It really really really has nothing to do with seeing the future like SDragon has unsuccessfully deflected with. Castle said he designed the power to operate in a certain manner and it initially went live not operating in that manner. You don't need a crystal ball to determine a problem. You don't even need any foresight, just the ability to cross your t's and dot your i's.
If you want me to thank him for saying he'll eventually fix this issue I won't. It is unnecessary. In fact, I'm not convinced dumping more hours into this set is worthwhile because it sounds like a redesign of the power is what will happen. It won't happen for many months still and by then everyone will have grown accustom to how it functions and it is just going to be another nightmare when it goes down. I'd rather he just sets it back to the original live value so that the problem is less glaring and then move on to other projects.
I will say thanks for looking into FA. In fact, I already did.
It's because I have respect for his position that I demand high quality and consistency. Just as I have high expectations of the Partners at work, or the CFO, or the VP of marketing. If you have the title it comes with expectations of performance. Mistakes can and will still happen, but this time it sounds a lot more like not looking before crossing the street rather than a piano falling from the sky and randomly hitting you. -
Quote:I think you're overreacting to the potential change. Even if SC were to get it's damage cut in half, a fire/shield would still be a damage monster.Originally Posted by Werner
Yeah, I don't think I'll continue forward with my IOing plans for my Fire/Shield, and I'll probably dump what I've bought so far back into the base. My intent was to make a damage powerhouse. The AoE portion of that now sounds likely to take a big hit, probably about the time I finish earning the billions of influence and dumping it all into the character, since that takes me months. No thanks. No longer worth the time investment.
I'm not saying that it shouldn't be examined. Perhaps it should. I'm just not going to bother IOing something that's definitely going to be examined. I am way, way too tired of fixing or abandoning carefully-crafted characters that the devs nerf or even buff into something not at all like what I planned. Perhaps if someone could just tell me what powers and which IOs might be STABLE for a couple years, it'll be worth the investment. But obviously that can't happen. At this point, I'm kind of thinking I'll never bother with a top end build again. I'll just keep leveling up alts until I tire of that, and then give up on the game completely.
Again, not saying not to nerf Shield Charge. Not working as intended, blah blah blah, fine, whatever.
But I'm just not sure if I can take it any more. -
I have used ClamWIN in the past and I thought it did an excellent job. It is a good program.

Quote:So in response to this post I got one positive and five negative reps and overall I'm extremely positive on the post. I understand how why it's like that, just find it amusing.Originally Posted by MunkiLord
I agree with both of these statements. The rep system, while entertaining, is worthless.
Although I wonder how fast I could go from max neg rep to max pos rep. Any of yall wanna help me out? I need neg rep.
That being said, after just a few hours I'm giving up on this 'project' since it appears it would be rather difficult. -

Oh hell yeah, and the same goes for the ones that get butt hurt over having to wait for their perks to unlock just like everyone before them waited.

stick around and you will get those rewards. vet rewards are for continuosly paying your sub fees and are a gift from NC. if you change them now you WILL piss off a lot of people and then when they leave there will be no more rewards to worry about.

I'm of the opinion that if somebody leaves and exploit mission up for everybody to play then the person deserves a perma ban, just for being stupid.
I mean how hard is it to make your little exploit mission, tell as few people as possible(if anybody) and unpublish it when you are done with your runs? I just don't get the people that leave those things up. -
Quote:That is just flat out not true. The big three free ones mentioned are all very effective and efficient.Originally Posted by MrNoj
As far as free; you get what you pay for. It might be functional, but it's not likely that it's efficient or effective.
As for me, count me in the camp that uses Avira. I think it is fantastic.
AFAIK the only way to do that is buy the premium version. But honestly I don't mind a single daily pop up for software that I consider this good.Quote:Originally Posted by NordBlast
Is there any way to disable Avira popup?
Also OP, I use Comodo Firewall(again free), and I have found it to be an excellent tool. -
Quote:I don't think you're alone in that either. But I didn't take his comments that way. To me, what you and a couple others are doing are knee jerk reactions.Originally Posted by Frosticus
What you posted looked like a knee jerk reaction to me and I really don't think I'm alone.
People should relax.

You did notice the post where he notes the correct values for SC and how they are lower than the current Live versions, jes?
EDIT: typo, changed we to he.
Yes, but I was referring specifically to the Dark Melee comments. I should have been more clear.
I guess I should also add that if SC is doing significantly more damage than desired by the powers people and they change it, I don't think that is a huge deal. Kinda like how the BoTZ nerf wasn't a big deal. Just in case anyone is wondering, yes something like that would hit me too, I have a very expensive fire/shield. -
Quote:No doubt. I've been reading the thread(from post 1), and I agree dev digest probably brought extra people(some unwanted). But my comment was directed at people on both sides of the "debate."Originally Posted by Elegost
10 pages ago we were discussing possible fixes for FA. Dev Digest brings lots of unwanted attention, unfortunately :/
I just don't think Castle's comments in this thread are that big of a deal.
edit: But of course I could be wrong. But I just don't see a "nerf" or "adjustment" to Dark Melee in the works. It takes some good bonuses to get that top attack chain and not suck endurance, and I'm confident that if Castle does look at it the set will be fine. But like I said, I could be wrong. -
Don't see why Castle's post in here are causing so much anguish. He didn't say he was going to nerf anything. In fact, he barely said anything at all. People are reading too much into these comments. But I guess that is to be expected.

My rep overall for that post is positive somehow. I iz confused about that. I really thought that post would get me a ton more neg rep comments. Guess I was wrong. -
Quote:I agree. Once the bugs(major bugs IMO) are worked out this will be a fantastic issue. Seeing as how the bugs mess with my playstyle, I consider them major issues. People that don't care about the markets and some other stuff like I do may see them as little things.Originally Posted by Daemodand
I feel sorry for the devs. They are great devs and this Issue's launch has been very rough. I suspect marketing forced the "must release on anniversary" thing. That's speculation, of course, but I wouldn't be surprised. In future, best to avoid that kind of thing and go the Blizzard route of "when it's ready".
Once the kinks are out, I17 will be one of the strongest Issues in the game's history. Bugs aside, it's a fantastic Issue.
The person that used the fanboi comment was correct.Quote:Originally Posted by BBQ_Pork
tsk, tsk. No need for pre-emptive namecalling.
You're wrong.Quote:Originally Posted by je_saist
read more like pre-emptive trolling.
I get your point, I really do. But that isn't, and never will be reality. Much like your point about people expecting perfect issue releases. Personally I think all the ******** and moaning is a good thing. It pushes the devs to do a better job. Don't get me wrong, I truly feel they do an amazing job now. But the constant pressure to do better is essential when selling a product. So while it is annoying to hear/read, it is important. Therefore I encourage people to voice every displeasure they have.Quote:Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Sorry if that wasn't worded quite clearly enough. It wasn't really pointed at you. More at the general mass of "This isn't perfect! You owe me/I'm quitting!" sorts. If anything, it was more in agreement with much of what you said that I quoted vs the reactions we're getting from several people.
I can understand being frustrated, and feel for the people having problems - in most cases. But I can also understand production, development, and deadlines, and know from history that not only will there be bugs (caught and uncaught) in release, and that they're not there because "the devs aren't doing their jobs/don't care/hate me," but that they will still have people working on getting them fixed before, during, and after release.
Patience is sorely lacking at times. If people expect every issue to come out bug free and perfect, they'd better be able to point out that every single thing they've ever done has also been 100% perfect, on time, and what everyone expected. Otherwise, don't expect the same of anyone else.
This is coming from somebody in the restaurant industry(12 years), so I know what it is like to hear complaining all the time.
Ok, that's funny.Quote:Originally Posted by Golden Girl

Of course, and i expect that's what will happen. And i don't feel we need anything in compasion, but when a bussiness cause their customers an inconvience, it is IMO normally smart to try and placate them in some way. A small token, to say sorry. Doing so IMO builds a stronger repure with there customers. Like a restraunt that screws up your order may take an app off your bill, or give you an extra side on the house. Sure crap happens, but when your lively hood is making and keeping people happy, knowing how to handle situation when they aren't happy is key.
I don't think Paragon Studios must do anything to make it up to us, but I do think if they gave us something that worst case it would have zero effect. More than likely it would make a small positive impact.
I think what the person was saying is that posting on private forums(like the CoH forums) isn't a right. Which it's not because they can kick any one of us out at anytime for literally any reason they want.Quote:Originally Posted by Golden Girl
No, it is a right - everyone's entitled to an opinion - but what isn't a right is to have your opinion taken seriously -

There wasn't much complaining after I12 either, because it was awesome.
I17 is probably up there as one of the few issues that come close to it, because QOL is everything.
You're full of crap. Once the major bugs are worked out i17 may end up being awesome, but so far it is a big pile of crap. -
My favorite part is how the market is down.
I also like how the enhancement window is ugly to look at and hard to read now.
I do like the email attachment feature, but it should have been in the game years ago. -

Don't forget to /bug it in game folks. I've seen many instances of issues that were well known to players that completely escaped dev attention for months because they frequently get too busy to monitor the forums. But a substantial number of bug reports will get noticed!

Is my assumption that you were doing this at +4 difficulty correct?
