Quote:On your own time sure, but when I want to get a mission done, don't complain if I pass you over.Originally Posted by _Krom_
This would be why I, above all else, I think it's totally fine for someone to play like this.
It is a wasted slot. My primary is an MM that has no personal attacks, but I contribute with my zombies and using my aoe heal when needed. I don't just spam heals that in some case are uneeded because it doesn't help the team. Heals are awesome when they are needed, but spamming when you could be helping to kill enemies makes you a parasite imo. If anything you risk putting the team at risk by not being able to take down foes and healing. What if you die and no one can rez you? You were the main healer and rezzer, but you are dead now so the team could wipe.Quote:Originally Posted by _Krom_
Having run, doing a little rp, and helping keep the team alive..if that's you're thing..there is nothing wrong with that. I really don't understand the mentality that it's a wasted slot on a team..it's not like they're sitting there picking their nose and not contributing....they might be picking their nose...which, while a little gross, still is ok as long as they're doing 'something' for the team.
And the doing "what's fun" arguement is flawed. Would you be ok if I aggroed early on purpose and got us all killed because I was "role-playing"? Having fun is fine, but when your "fun" comes at my expense that's an issue. This is my problem with the "fun" argument. It is essentially a selfish defense often used to defend the minority view, Petless MMs for example. -

Heck, I won't play anything redside but an mm... and I wont roll any mm that's not /Dark!
Come to Think of it... I only have Bots/Dark MM's... 9 of them... I'm obsessive about it, I think.
But you can bet that I will roll a Demon/Dark MM right out the box when GR comes out!
Ofcourse I'm not opposed to getting more secondaries for my MM brothers and sisters out there.
I'd like Illusion as a Secondary, although; I don't even see how that would work. -

1st off, no, we will not get reused NPCs from the game world.
2nd- The pets will not be able to fly. No Mastermind primary should have the inherit advantage of a travel power.
3rd- Female pets are unlikely, as the Pimp Factor is still in effect.. -
Quote:Do you play any games outside of Cox? WoW has many servers devoted to PVP and gaming in general is devoted to the PVP experience. Feel free to pretend reality does not exist , however.Originally Posted by TXB03B
WoW sells because of a few things, none of which is PvP.
1) They've marketed their game outside of traditional "internet" venues, like television spots,
2) It runs on even lower-end hardware (like CoX),
3) They had cheap $2.00 demo discs at checkouts even at supermarkets, and
4) It's from Blizzard so it's got all the Diablo fanboys out there to draw an initial base from.
Once it started being the next "big thing" in gaming and everyone else had an account, people signed up. It's numbers grew. Had NOTHING to do with PvP. The way that PvP was implemented in CoX was the absolute best way, unlike WoW when you can get killed in PvE zones and have to avoid PvP if you don't want to. (FFXI was like that too)
I have also yet to see anyone actually say they joined CoX only because it had PvP.
PvP is just another feature of the game. -
That's an understatement, and the highlight of this issue form Me was PP. Oh well, I have /unsubbed until Doms get Illusion control or a more interesting power.

It would be awesome if they could tie some PVP content into this, but then again LOLPEEVEEPEE.

Why is it that red side is always considered evil?
[/ QUOTE ] Because it's advertised as such save for a small fraction. Cox is a very black & white game.
Why is it no one ever thinks that maybe some are just [ QUOTE ]
mercenaries?
[/ QUOTE ] People probably do, but still black & White.

Why is it every hero is a goody goody?
[/ QUOTE ] Because the game is written with very shallow character concepts.

Why do people want RP in a Game to limit their imaginations? Doesn't that just seem wrong.

Because a lot people have very limited imaginations.

I agree with someone else in this thread. Have people actually read the stories? Name me a patron arc where you don't betray them!! Yet they go "well recluse said!!" and still support you!! If they were truely evil, they would find a way to delete your toon, without recluse knowing, for what you did to them.

The game's logic is poorely thought out. I want to say lol it's comic book logic, but some comic books are actually well done.(And I am not a fan of comic books)

I am going to second another poster's question and ask if we can create PVP missions as well? It would be an interesting way of incorperating the PVP system and help creating some epic PVP conflict stories.

Yo, Rinkoz don't worry about it.
I am not sure if this has been mentioned, but I'd like to see villain accuracy debuffs matter in PVP at least with me they don't seem to count because no matter how many I stack I die. -
Disheartening to be sure, but you have saved me 50 levels of work.
-
I see. Thank you for the aid, M3z. Here is another question; would you say it is a must that I take BS as my patron or can I go with Scciroco? I was going with Scc because I wanted to stack the MU pet's end drain powers on top of my own. What I mean is would the pets from Mu and Elec be useful in PVP?
I hope that made sense. -
You recomended that I use Fire/Elec in my PVP help thread, but what is the downside to Mind/Elec?

Personally, it pisses me off to see a set like this go to the Blasters when my DOM would love MM with the right tweaking, but eventually, you become so cynical you just stop carrying.
[/ QUOTE ]
Um...not to pick on a sore spot, but....isn't Mental Manipulation a watered down version of Psi Assault?
[/ QUOTE ]
Psi assualt isn't a mix of Mind and Psi assault.
I also said tweak.
[/ QUOTE ]
??
Mental Manipulation IS, quite obviously, a tweaked version of Psi Assault.
It loses Psi Dart and Psi Lance and picks up Build Up and World of Confusion. Other than those two powers it is identical to Psi Assault.
Maybe you were saying you'd rather have World of Confusion than Psi Lance in Psi Assault? That I can agree with. I've never understood why Doms were given Snipes.
[/ QUOTE ]
I wanted tweak into something more to MY liking for my Dominator.
I would have preffered World of Confusion to Psi Lance though. Doms were given snipes to pull I suppose. -

Psi assult isn'ta mix of Mind and Psi assualt. Also, psi assualt does not mature until the later levels. This is true fo Doms anyway.

I'm probably a minority here on being upset with this feature. Sure I have alternate characters that I occasionally plan. 3 Heroes and almost 1 villian all level 50, but these options do not interest me in the slightest.
I still play 90% of the time with the character I created way back in June of 2004.
I was excited in the possiblities of changing my main's powers, but finding out I have to create a new character just to get a different power set, no thank you.
Though I think this idea is great and will add more choices to all players, I probably will not be personally affected by this.
Sure, I know the argument of having 12 character slots per server is a great one, but all I need is one slot for villians, and one for heroes.
Why can't I change powersets on my character if I want to, why force me and others like me to create a new character just to see the new sets. I would mind if I had to start back at level 1 and grind back to 50 if this was the case.
Dare I say a tree skill set in CoX would be a blessing. One where I can say, I want to be a defender today. Click a button, now my character is a defender. But the defender's powers are only level 12. Fine with me.
And yes, I would like cheese with my whine.

The Devs said no once and I don't think they ever mentioned it again. -

I have a question: why exactly is it that Energy Melee is considered to be "too powerful," as it currently is, for Scrappers? Sure, Scrappers > Tankers as far as damage output goes, but aren't Brutes and Scrappers on relatively equal footing?
So, Brutes, who deal roughly the same amount of DPS (damage per second) as Scrappers aren't over-powered when using Energy Melee? Or how about Energy Melee Stalkers, with their tremendously powerful Assassin's Strike/Stun combo that I continuously fall victim to in PVP?
I just fail to see why anyone thinks that Scrappers will be overly powerful compared to the other melee ATs with this addition, and would appreciate it highly if someone could enlighten me.
(In the meantime, I'll be curled up under my desk, sure in the knowledge that the devs have a personal grudge against me, said grudge being the sole reason that Energy Melee is not being propagated to Scrappers.)

I've actually been curious about this myself. -

He can heal people! Clearly he must be an Empath!
[/ QUOTE ]That's all he can do with his powers. He can't make things with them just restore living organic matter. sounds like empathy to me. Minus absorb pain ect.
[/ QUOTE ]
All he can do is heal. However Empaths in CoH can do much more than only heal. Your comparison falls apart right there.
Not only are Empaths NOT the only healers, Empaths are also not ONLY healers. Therefore the villain from Heroes is not NECESSARILY an Empath.
[/ QUOTE ]
Technically, Empathy has nothing to do with healing it is simply sharing the emotions of another. The COH empathy would therefore not be an Empath either. At least not according to the dictionary. -

[ QUOTE ]
That was never in dispute. Effectiveness aside MM is based on the concept of mental control, so I am not really sure why you are disqualifying it.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, I suppose there are two different ways to look at it: MM is thematically controllerish based on the powers it has when you actually ignore how effective those powers will be in controlling enemies.
From efficiency point of view it is less control heavy than elec, energy or ice by having less powers that can stack/efficiently control enemy. If I wanted to create a blaster that specializes in controlling I wouldn't pick mind due its lack of efficient control.
[/ QUOTE ]
I can't argue with that until the numbers are dropped so, I see your point. -
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Many of them do not, no, and for others a few of it breaks down into a few reasons I have detailed here.
Many people will use the OMG, you have not seen the numbers excuse which is in itself erroneous because Blasters are an attack heavy AT. Psi will be increased in order to perform at the level of its brethren sets if only adequately so. Mind Manipulation is control heavy with some serious holds and a regen. It may not be Dominator impressive, but clearly, it is far from sub par. But Castle said, Castle also said the numbers were not final.
Some people honestly do not understand and/or care about the situation and see any content as beneficial to the game. These are some of the anti-whine crusade and merely serve to exacerbate the situation by telling people to [censored] as if they were the devs. These people can be from either side, so it is not just a hero thing.
In short no, you do not have the RIGHT to criticize. You MUST support the games content or else you are not being a team player. Personally, it pisses me off to see a set like this go to the Blasters when my DOM would love MM with the right tweaking, but eventually, you become so cynical you just stop carrying.
[/ QUOTE ]
I don't care about your or others' complaining. I just wish you'd add some critical thought to your complaints. We have not seen the numbers. We do not know how well or poorly the Psi blaster sets will do. What we're telling you is to wait and see what the powers are all about then offer criticism.
[/ QUOTE ]
But I wasn't complaining, and even said I no longer care. I simply envied the MM set. Lrn2 reading comprehension before addressing an adult next time.
[/ QUOTE ]
The bolded part indicates that you do care despite protestations to the contrary. Thanks for playing.
[/ QUOTE ]
I never said I did not care. I said it pissed me off, but that you eventually stop caring. Also, if I had been complaining about it as you claimed then why is mention of it absent from my previous post within this thread? Why does it only appear once and is quickly dismissed?
