Sounds like rather inconsistent justice to me, the Resistance's war crimes are against the same civilians as Tyrant's and should be prosecuted as such.
Quote:I know. It's always a losing battle. Between GG and the poor handling of the storyline for the sake of raids the drubbing the Loyalists get while the Resistance are the squeaky clean big damn heroes induces a wee bit of frustration.Originally Posted by Megajoule
Ogi, don't even try painting the Resistance as anything less than unambiguously heroic. -
They didn't kick the Crusaders to the curb and instead used their villainy to continue the fight against Tyrant making the Wardens complicit with the Crusaders and thus just as guilty for their actions.
And nevermind Cleo trying to assassinate you. -
Quote:Hmm, there wouldn't be much left of the Resistance (Cleo was proof the Wardens knew what the Crusaders were up to) after their war crimes trials.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
If justice isn't consistent, then it's not justice - either Tyrant and Domi have to walk free, or Marauder and Marchand have to join them in the dock.

Never soft capped a blaster. Never bothered with def on a blaster, they're a blaster, not a scrapper.
Most blaster primaries have a ranged hold or stun with enough mag to deal with a Lt.
Constant stream != occasional use. -
Quote:If you need to use inspirations then your character has failed at some aspect of the game.Originally Posted by Gangrel_EU
Hell, even on these forums people complained about some stuff being too hard even *after* it had been made easier. Their reasoning: They don't like to use inspirations *at all*... which i find amazing considering that unlike other MMO's, inspirations drop like candy from the sky (and with the ability to change what inspirations you have to another type, you should *never* be without one you need).
-or-
Inspirations aren't part of my character and thus are cheating if I use them.
Two simple reasons why people don't pop inspirations all the time. Personally, if I have a character that is dependent on a constant stream of inspirations that means I have failed horribly with their powers and slotting.
Raiders may be good short term money but I still don't see how they do a game any long term good. I fled to CoH to get away from raid games and then the wondrous (thread) Incarnate system shows up. Yay.Quote:Originally Posted by Nalrok_AthZim
EDIT: I kind of like CoH being so word-of-mouth. Keeps out the riff raff. I swear, the one thing that could make me leave this game is my server getting flooded by people of the same mindset as a WoW raider. -
I'd have liked to see them play around with PvE Elusivity for set bonuses instead of +Def on the new stuff and boosted Accuracy on mobs instead of plain old boosts to their To-Hit. SR was a one trick pony which would be shut down by one Quartz. A resist armor with softcapped Def through IOs still had its Res to fall back on.
At least -Def still gave you something for being SR. -

I think my Sonic res defender just got a big nerf. My value to teams was that I filled a niche for raising resistance, since everyone was focused on defense. As soon as everyone has more resistance, that niche goes away.

Quote:Perhaps they are taking mercy on the video cards that survived being melted by AP in leaving KR with normal textures.Originally Posted by Xzero45
Sucks it's not at least getting higher resolution textures like the buildings in AP or DA did.
It's not so bad on the windows client but on the mac client if you had a wire rack and a drip tray you could grill while you played.
Optimize things a bit (and by a bit I mean a lot) then think about using the high res vid card melting textures. -
If def bonuses weren't tossed out in quantities rivaling parade candy and fitness wasn't inherent I'd probably be behind moving toughness to one of the first choices. As it is though there needs to be some cost to getting tough/weave.
It's not like people don't mule kinetic combat in there anyways. -

I can't speak for Starsman, but the first thought that came to mind was "power creep."
With hard capped to everything leagues I doubt sets are even a blip on their radar. -

[4. The solo incarnate path needs to be fixed by adding a hallucinogenic cut scene at the end of every story arc that causes the player to be put into a fugue state whereupon they forget having played it.]
Does it just wipe just the current arc from memory or all play throughs?
DA just might be tolerable without the weight of all the previous runs for very little progress. -
At least I don't have to go through the 5 minute boot up sequence of my WP tanker each time I log in to them now.
Other than being a vestige of the one armor at a time era I don't see any "fun" reasons for the long activation times on normal defensive toggles. -
Which is why they shouldn't have retconned States and Psyche.
Do it right (x)or don't do it at all.
Kill them off in Incarnate content. There's Incarnate Shinies there to distract anyone from caring about any inconsistencies and non-incarnates can blissfully ignore them. -

I recommend watching more Doctor Who, especially series 5 and up. That should explain things.
Wade is still hanging out Redside even though he's staying at Vanguard enjoying all their hospitality currently.
If they're going to retcon things they should at least be consistent about it. -
Quote:Since they are both dead current story protocol is to wipe them from existence. Just like in that wonderful Wing Commander movie.Originally Posted by Mad Grim
What do you mean 'replaced'? Statesman and Recluse held the same power as them, if that's what you mean.
Imperious Task Force? I don't know what you are talking about. There never was an Imperious. -

Quote:I would imagine the Echo mission would award the O-portal if you didn't already have it since it involved a time traveler and you need to go see Cosmic Smurf later on.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
*OK, explain something to me: What was the point of the first two missions? The Professor Echo mission existed solely to set up the Cimerora mission, but the Cimerora mission accomplished nothing beyond "Your princess is in another castle!" A good chunk of the story arc accomplishes nothing and serves only as padding. I don't want the arc to be shorter, don't get me wrong, but I'd rather get plot and character development instead of filler.

Quote:I only noticed Penny and Posi when they were still spinning in GW's hold animation after the fight was over.Originally Posted by Venture
Because by the time they actually spawn and enter the fight you might have killed everyone already and thus not had the chance to actually experience the awesomeness of having Penny Yin come to your rescue.

IIRC, windfalls are best used when solo at x8 since then you get all the drop checks and thus they all get boosted by the windfall increase.
When grouped only your checks get boosted, so on an actual team of 8 only 1/8th (yours) are getting the windfall chance.
That is all IIRC. Never used one myself. -
In PvE there'd be no point in worrying about someone being more invisible than completely invisible to mobs. It'd have to be PvP if stealth stacking was a concern.
If they want mobs to see you they just make the mobs see through stealth entirely or have the ambush home in on you no matter your level of stealth since stealth is not a placate. -
Quote:PvP. It's why we can't have nice things.Originally Posted by Demon_Shell
But in a situation where you're supposed to be disguised, mechanically undetectable for immersion reasons, what imbalance is created by being more undetectable? You're already not being attacked.

The people with the INF that needs to burn have enough INF to afford builds that wouldn't need Amplifiers.

Quote:Resistance are the Big Damn Heroes, remember?Originally Posted by EvilGeko
Never ceases to amaze me how people can condemn the Resistance while shrugging at the atrocities of the Loyalist. Truly amazes me.
Loyalists are nothing but stiff armed dogs of the Tyrant.
They get told that at every opportunity. -
