    WHY DO YOU KEEP RELEASING THINGS WHEN YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I SHOULD BE SAVING MY MONEY

    That sounds like it might be your account, and not the system, that Support needs to get after. D:

    The new graphics are necessary, and of course they're differentiated from the other IO's. Not every single IO level is in one Auction House slot. The system reads them as a separate item, despite just having a level difference. I'm willing to put inf down on the notion that the Attuned attribute is a sort of flag for IO's.

    Besides, just because they're listed separate on the Auction system doesn't mean they're actually different, it just shows that they've been implemented and categorized into the game.
  4. No.

    Will every other post in this forum be about the new system? Probably.

    Let them work out the damn kinks. Crap happens. Patience is your friend, and don't give me that "BUT I'VE BEEN PATIENT DAMMIT" garbage; if you've been patient you'd still be being patient.

    In exchange, Tankers will gain an auto taunt power that randomly removes Inf and valuable recipes the Tanker is carrying and automatically distributes them to any nearby Scrappers and Brutes.

    Not with weapons this big. In fact, at this point we can probably call it Shattering.

    And with that much darkness, no one would see it either. Walls would just break and cars would be flung and onlookers would simply say "Wait, what? Does anyone else hear that punching sound?"

    HELL no. You touch-a my psi resists, I break-a you face.

    The gargantuan Psi resist barrier /DA has is what makes it so fun for me. Where a team of 8 with any other Brute (save Elec) will run into a group of Carnies and get waylaid, MY teams will watch me chew apart one spawn while flinging Dark Obliteration into another and roaring with maniacal laugher aS I rENd tHE SouLs FROm ThEIR FLESH AND FLAY THEIR VERY ESSENCE--

    ....

    Arhememfgh. Pardon me, I... I got caught up in the moment.

    I'll run in and destroy the Carnies with no problems.

  12. I've been to both servers. Come to Virtue. Virtue, in my experience, has been more polite and far less profane. My first six minutes on Freedom involved numerous f-bombs and the N-bomb about four times afterwards from 50+1 players flying around Kings.

    As Hank Hill would say, "Buhuhuh. D:"
  13. I think you are reading too much in to all this. I think the Attuned mechanic is a cover-all for all IO's; that is, it's just a flag that causes said enhancement to stay at your level. I highly doubt the devs went in and made an entire copy of the current IO sets and individually marked them all Attuned/Bound. I also highly doubt we'll be seeing Rare and Superior IO's in the store, since if any other game did that it'd basically be like turning on I Win Mode, and I don't know about you, but if I turn on God Mode in a game the game gets shelved an hour later.

  15. I wish they'd add in an extra sound for Rib Cracker: A small, vaguely-male "Yipe!" You know, the girly sound guys make then they take a severe blow to the junk.

    Admittedly yes, but I'm using the more common term associated with word processors as it was what came to the forefront of my mind when posting this thread. *shrug*

    This is because CoH doesn't need WoW-level number management and documentation. In WoW, a single player sneezing during a raid encounter WILL wipe the raid 100% of the time, no exceptions, no excuses, no workarounds, do not pass go or collect 200 dollars. Here, if a player sneezes they probably just defeated a Lieutenant. CoH is so much more laid back than any game I've played.

    Hell, even tanking is a smooth ride compared to the SUNDERSUNDERSUNDERSUNDERSHIELDSLAMDEVASTATEDEVASTA TETAUNTREVENGEPARRYBLOCKSHIELDSLAMBLOODRAGESHIELDS LAMTAUNTSUNDERSUNDERSUNDER that was my WoW tanking career.

    I hop into a spawn, punch stuff, taunt the occasional stray, and then when everything's almost toast I hop out and piss off the next group of enemies.

    Don't treat this game like other MMO's-- you'll end up burning yourself out on what is essentially nothing.
  20. I briefly discussed this in a global channel not long ago; a lot of people said that if spelling breaks my immersion that I'm too uppity.

    To them I said: "I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor! The Dark Fire will not avail you, Flame of Udûn! Go back to the Shadow! You shall not psas!!"

    They changed their tune immediately.

    Yeah, that was one heck of a ride. I can't explain with words just how awesome hitting 50 felt. And then... IO's. THE BEAST BECAME THE ABYSS!

    Tanking is 20% Archetype, 10% build, 70% player in my experience.
  23. Ice Armor/Kinetic Melee Tanker; Anything that can use Kinetics (the buff/debuff set).

    Dark Armor is a late bloomer. And when I say 'bloomer' I don't mean like a flower, I mean like a jagged maw of iron-plated teeth and hatred that eats enemies and ****s raw power.
