Personally I think the concept would work better if we got a small def buff as we got low.

I agree. We could call it "desperation," which is more in line with how most blasters feel when their hit points go down to 40%. When we are getting that close to death, being more offensive is not usually a top priority.

Can you show an example of where player feedback has changed the devs minds? I can't think of any. Datamining has changed their minds for sure ( and possbily datamining AND feedback). For me the tell is exactly what Cuppa said "The Devs are happy with the changes".

Apparently at Cryptic, the theory is the customer must have ordered the wrong thing- they KNOW what you want, regardless of what you want.

Tanker complaints about the Pool Power Provoke, for one. Scrapper complaints about not having a use in groups, for another. (Which got criticals added). Changes to Martial Arts animation times. Dark Armor and Stone Armor now stacking, as well as the new look to Stone Armor. There was an issue on the Test Server where the Dev's had added Knockback to one of the Tanker Powers (A super strength power, I believe) and the Tankers had quite a few negative things to say to it, which led to the new Knockdown/Knockback system being added instead.

Those are just off the top of my head.

I can't find any of those that didn't get datamined to the devs satisfaction first before the change. So at best the change was made after players called attention to something that wasn't working as the devs intended.

Are you saying that if someone complains, they ought to make changes without investigating the problem? Datamining is a way of looking at the problem, and verifying that one actually exists. Our input helps them determine how to mine the data, and what kind of problems to look for.

I think we're all missing the bigger picture here. What if COV goes live like this? Suddenly, every hero's powers go gray except for sprint and brawl...Imagine the knott in everyone's guts when Spider/Arachnos villains start attacking as well as player villains (on the Spider/Arachnos side at least) filter into what zones they can to pvp the now powerless heroes. Even if it was debt free deaths for the duration, tell me you wouldn't plotz when all powers just simply cut off.

Don't forget losing most of your hit points. I'm sure States would have enough hp that even without defenses to take a few bullets from obviously lower level bad guys.

I think it's a decent idea.

Since when is it a decent idea to kill off a whole town just because someone dropped a spoon?

My guess? April Fools, they're all false!

[/ QUOTE ]

That's it!!!! He never said any of them were true, just that one was false. If they were all false, then you could say that each one was false.

It's threads like this that show the wisdom of not having voice communication built into the game.

i think the mime thing is true. mimes are evil, plus they're french, and aren't we supposed to hate the french.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, we just change their name to "freedom mimes." But since I live mostly on the Justice server, I guess I won't see them.

The first one is false. He's called the Faceripper, not Facemaker.
