Quote:Pretty much anyone that's used the "learn to play" defence has never used the "crank difficulty to 11" to satisfy their desire for "my fun". =I= should learn to play so =they= don't have to up the difficulty.I don't want my fun spoiled because, basically, people can't play.
Quote:I really, really can't imagine how anyone could be so bad at this game as to find finds EBs difficult...

My biggest change is more soloing. I used to play my 50s with new players. But Freedom's influx of new players have been channeled through the lowbie arcs or endlessly running Death From Below.
And I've run some TFs and iTrials.

Quote:No, but balancing content for the lowest common denominator on the lowest possible difficulty setting should be. After reading this thread, I guess I'll give Night Ward a pass.I'm no ace player, but seriously, if you can't fight EBs, you aren't doing it right. CoH is easy.
Balancing all content for lowest common denominator players is not a good way to go.

How do you keep a copyrighted name?
What? That's what I did.

Quote:Yes, I've noticed the 8th anniversary badge does not alert you Badge Earned.There have been a few badges awarded recently that are not showing the Badge Earned text on the screen.
This seems to be another one.
Quote:I only worry about my alts that have everything back to the first anniversary badge.

Quote:I was surprised, but probably because I don't like them and secretly hoped they'd fail. My surprise is Paragon's win, though.I hope nobody was actually surprised that the best selling item in a store whose model is kind optimized for micro-transactions was the most generally useful micro-priced item they've put in it.

Cheers to those of you that are providing a nice chunk of revenue for PS to reinvest into our game. Thank you.
Quote:Some people have zero interest in randomized grab bags (which is fine), but... by adding in exclusive content, in the form of costume pieces (we all know how many issues gated costumes can create among this game's fans) there was a lot of negative reaction to the new packs.
Another inspiration that was mentioned was "The Book of Eli".
All in all, it was a fun summit. I wish I'd have had more presence of mind to meet some of the other forumites there (it was weird hearing a forum name, visualizing the avatar, and then seeing the person at the mic), but I've got to say that my favorite devs have to be Tunnel Rat and Honeybadger, if for no other reason than they remembered me and my girlfriend from the last Summit. Also, art stuff is super cool, and they do art stuff.

80% or so of my characters are defenders. Samuel Tow gives me endless grief about it, but I like playing a support character. Even if I end up mostly soloing.

Quote:This. I've received this message when mistakenly clicking the wrong server and trying to go back, which led me to believe the "Retrieving Character List" =WAS= the queue. Which would explain why it's sometimes faster than others.If you try to back out of the retrieving screen, doesn't it (or didn't it at one point) prompt you if you want to lose your position in the queue? I always assumed that's what it was.

Zwil's throbbing forehead vein in every session: "What part of 'Speak into the mic' do you not understand?"
And I voted for paramilitary costumes, as strap-on tech and weapons and pouches could be useful in so many designs.

My girlfriend's response to "the black knights' under armor" costume set: "Why would I want to wear someone else's underwear?"

Quote:This was a great post, but these two things really hit home on the humanity of the subject (IMO).<snip>
Being a mutant does not automatically preclude putting on tights.

I imagine it was quite the shock in the 1940s, however, with people wondering if these different children born all over the world were infected with some kind of disease. Could it spread? Could my normal looking child turn green tomorrow, or suddenly start shooting fireballs? How do I protect my child? It's a very human reaction.

As someone with nowhere near the creativity of Samuel Tow, all my characters are humans, and probably 90% of them are mutants. I even remember a redname post from years ago with statistics from the playerbase, and the largest percentage of characters were of mutant origin. (Although I'll be the first to admit that, although I adhere pretty strictly to the in-game descriptions as written, someone's actual origin is ripe for personal interpretation. Just look at the "aliens altered my character's DNA" post above where someone else said "that's science".)
All that being said, it'd be fun to see a mutant-based issue. I'm liking the Nuclear 90 reference myself.

[QUOTE=dugfromthearth;4215197]for me it is the Victorian Decor aura. I mean the idea is just stupid - a Victorian Decor aura, what would that even mean?[QUOTE]
Seriously. A Victorian aura that looks like... what is that?
You know what it is? Probably the best aura for my magic-based characters.

I love this thread.
As a costume guy, Goat, head to Ouroboros and talk to the new merit vendors there (separate ones for Astral and Empyrean merits) to see what costume bits they have. The exclusive path auras were enough for me to farm A and E merits.

Regarding speeding up Hover: Log out in a train station and pick up the Commuter day job. Bonus movement speed.
I have Hover three-slotted on my Hover-heavy characters. It seems pretty fast for me (since I'm not a numbers guy). And commuter gives everything a bonus.

Quote:Oh, it's =Shadowhunter= and =Penny Yin=! I see now. My first impression was, "Who's this Conan-mage and why is he fighting random Electric Melee Girl?"Here's what I remember from looking at the login screen, roughly 30 seconds ago: Big blue tattooed guy with claws, wearing bear pelts, fighting a black haired girl with stuff on her face.
I'd have to look again to give more details.

While I know asymmetrical arms and legs would be cool, I'd just be happy with asymmetrical =patterns= for our costumes.
