Range is your best friend, and being able to attack while mez'ed, plus the scaling damage bonus the more you attack definately helps put things moreso into the blasters court.

If you lack the ability to take your past experience and just place a change in it then that is unfortunate. For me it isnt hard to just remember my time as a Dominator and in that memory just picture myself doing more damage. That is the underlying change that has occured as you have stated correct? Just more damage outside of domination. The archetype still is too fragile and genetically inferior in my opinion.

This isnt about Dominators anyway.

After all, nothing can survive the power of the rainbow unicorn. And as such a loyal member since the year 18-diggity-two, I think I deserve as such. And what's with them not talking about that latest sporting event? They KNOW they're going to be there! They should know the scores, and have a personal video tape to show all the loyal players. But not you, you're ugly... you know who you are!

Also, why don't I get doughnuts delivered straight to my house with a big 'thank you' edible licorice sticker on the basket? This is a slap in the face to us loyal players. Except for you, you're allergic to wheat. Haha! Sucks to be you!

So, if all us loyal players (and by that, meaning me) don't get these demands I am totally walking the plank into the ocean of MMOs where I will surely drown, because of how bad everything else is in comparison (I mean, why else would I be so loyal! We all know I'm selfish). And how would that be on your conscience!? Huh!?

With Love,
Me! <3

Most games and expansions ramp up advertising well before that. Multiple interviews on as many sites as will have them. Banner ads all over the place(these should be going on for an mmo regardless of an expansion being near release or not). Taken a look at the the old republic website?

You hype stuff to make sales. Successful game companies and even terrible game companies do this because you want to draw attention to your product. You want people to constantly be in anticipation of what you are bringing. You want your game to be on the minds of potential customers all the time. You do not just sit on your *** and make a few website updates and then post a note about it on your own forums if you want to bring in sales.

Take a closer look at the game industry and how it works before you make statements like that. Bioware pushed dragon age so much that folks at bluesnews and other gaming sites were talking about being sick of hearing about it.

The people on the forums aren't the ones who need to be reminded about cox...its all the other folks who haven't heard about it or who may not know enough about it to give it a try. Good grief...you realize that there are free to play mmos that do more advertising than cox? That doesn't seem weird to you?

How is that a marketing guy DOESN'T have the perfect sig, costume or avatar? Why is he SILENT, for cryin' out loud? No offense Black Pebble, but that's exactly the opposite attitude any good marketer should have, and you should be honestly embarrassed for actually bragging about that level of not-getting-it.

Why ISN'T CoH advertised everywhere gamers go? How come almost no one has heard of Going Rogue? You have 6 weeks until GR's launch and even my friends who are ex-players here have never heard of it. That's ridiculous, quite frankly.

It can't possibly cost that much to advertise on websites. Why does Newsarama have Neiman-Marcus ads but no CoH ads? Superherohype's background is Super Mario Galaxy 2. Comic Book Resources features Comfort Inn. Massively, a huge supporter of CoH, has never had a CoH ad that I've ever seen. Hell, putting an ad on BoingBoing will garner more eyeballs than almost any other website.
