I think its about time to get some REAL programmers in this game.

Hopefully they have some real coders on COV...

hehe, great video... hope to see more from you in the future

happy birthday too, Miss Abyss!!

Agreed.

We should try NEVER to change a power because of PvP alone (BTW, this is what I've always promised). The changes now aren't solely because of PvP - there's signifcant PvE issues, too.

i dont believe a word of this, sorry. If it was true, you should have made these PvE changes before PvP went to test. you nerfed the perma powers soley because of the effitiveness in PvP... i dont recall anyone saying anything about Elude, MoG, and LF being "not as intended" before PvP... do you?

I will never be playing it again. But you continue to Nerf PvE powers that have been established and in the game for nearly a YEAR for your glorious PvP balance.

We endeavor NOT to change powers solely because of PvP. The powers we are changing are usually because of PvE or PvE AND PvP.

I think its about time you step back and look at what you have done to this game. I have had to do that a couple times just from running a SG. Its not the same game anymore and im about fed up.

Us: we are having fun with this AT.
States: well we better nerf that right now, before others have fun too.

In other words, all scrappers prepare for the nerf bat soon.

why not just make the blaster melee powers equal that of a scrapper or maybe even a little more since they are risking more when they get in melee range.

Given the date, I thought I should post something. However, one of these things is not true.

<ul type="square"> Icon doesn't operate in CoV territory. If you want a costume change, you go to the Facemaker.

Killer mimes.

There are 5 new archetypes in CoV.[/list]
I love being evil!

Dang... i was hoping for 5 new AT's too

I HATE MIMES!!!

This is still a bad idea IMO... what is this supposed to help or make better??

I think the whole point of it is for you to get your lvl50 to go do some hamidon raids... after all he is the "final" monster.

BOOYA!!

Statesman, have i told you that you ROCK lately?

I'm guessing that Accuracy will be nerfed.

BAH!! States you took my quote

but since its gotten nerfed with every issue... maybe its time to nerf something else... dmg anyone?

FRICKIN SWEET!!!... this will make my SG very happy

great, so i wasted my name change.

ill try back on this when its FINAL... this is too frustrating ATM.

thanks for the info cuppa

PS... please tell me this is gonna get a LOT more user friendly

i have to say, im not impressed at all by this.

people randomly get booted, then the server dies and kills the channel. you have to type a whole sentance to talk to someone in a certain channel. the names they pulled were wrong. invite SG doesnt work right (make a new channel and invite SG, and you get errors that you already invited people... HOW?). you still have to do /chatbeta 1 (if its still a beta, why is it on live already?)

the only good freature i see is the global friend and ignore. i would have been happy to just have that... creating your own channels doesnt work at all.

i thought the dev's retook the board names... my global chat name is one that i used at first, but havent used in over a month. ???

i wanted to save the ONLY ONE name change you get for some other time... guess thats not gonna happen.

Greetings heroes!

Yes, the cape mission has been adjusted in Issue 3. We wanted this particular mission to be enjoyed by all, but we found that in its previous iteration, it was much too difficult for the casual players and solo’ers. We want everyone to get a chance at the cape, and we want it to be fun. For more of a challenge, try grouping up with a large group, or contact your local Hero Corp Field Agent.

i wish you guys would give up on the whole "solo" thing. you cant solo a LOT of this game, espically post lvl40. just say its a team game and make teaming more of a reward instead of less. dev's say you can solo and in the same sentence they say you HAVE to team to beat certain missions. at least with a game like EQ2 you know you have to team. keep telling people this is a solo game is not the truth. my uncle plays this game for 1-2 days a week, the people he teams with jump 3-5 lvls in the time he comes back. now he cant team with them, he finds a random team that either isnt very good or they just dont get along and he just quits for the day. he would rather just solo, but now he cant. he is lvl40 and hasnt logged in over 2 weeks and he is dropping this account because of this.

this game is not casual gamer or solo friendly anymore (mainly post lvl40), so just tell us that. dont lead people to believe that you can play for 10 hours a week and do just fine, because you cant. dont get me wrong, im a hardcore gamer and its fine for me, i know tons of people to team with, but for someone that doesnt spend every waking moment of spare time on this game... its just no fun

how bout making ALL missions soloable, unless you are on a team when you select the mission (or difficulty set above Hard-Boiled). for example, the frostfire mission, why cant he be a normal boss if you come in alone and an Elite Boss when more people are with you? THAT would make this game soloable. why cant the "disarm x ammount of bombs at the same time" acually be the number of people on the team?

as far as AV's go, no one that has beaten the paetorains already wants to help, so why not make them worth UBER xp or give some reward that is worth fighting the AV's over and over. i for one dont even help anymore because i dont need yet ANOTHER lvl 51-53 end reduc (thats all i EVER get from an AV with a recharge thrown in every 5 or so)... i never use end reduc enhaces, at lvl50 i have 4 end reducs on my toon. how bout a lvl51+ to hit debuff for my rad defender? how bout SOMETHING else besides the same 2 enhaces?

im pretty sure that [censored] means homosexual. may want to edit the post to say that instead of [censored], so it doesnt look like you are cussing

good luck with your SG.

Sounds like this player has invested in 4 powers - 3 of which he choose, and most of which he has probably slotted more than 6, and he still cannot fly. How much more of an investment did he make compared to your 1 power? How much did he have to give up compared to you and he still cannot go vertical.

No matter how you slice it, flying is ultimately safer than super speed, and offer an undeniable vertical advantage over super speed (or in this case, 4 other speed powers). If flyspeed had the same max as runspeed, why would anyone ever take superspeed?

uhhhh.... HASTEN?! you dont see many hero's without hasten anymore. no matter how you slice it, fly is the worst travel power by far and everyone knows it. its good for scouting for enemies, not as a travel power. as far as safty is concerened, SS is much, much, better. I've ran right beside +10s and they didnt even notice me.

i would take fly as an extra travel power (if you end up going with 2 like most the high lvls i know), not as a main travel. if you have a mission 1mi. away, you can hit auto-run with fly on facing the mission, then you can go to the bathroom and grab a soda... come back and you still have 300yrds left (serisoulsy took about 3-4mins to get 1mi, i make that trip in 10-15sec with TP)

i think something needs to be done with it... i CANT WAIT to see quantum flight

come to Liberty server and help us beat hamidon

We have started recruiting any lvl45-50's into the SG, the SG can be temporary if you dont want to leave your SG for good. We are forming this so we can be an organized team that will drop Hamidon. We are looking for every AT, but we need Defenders/Controllers with empathy and radiation, and Blaster's. so if you are a Def/Crtl or Blaster, and not quite lvl45-50, send us a tell anyway, with a SG full of lvl50s you wont have a hard time getting help.

We will be joining the X-mas raid, but we just dont feel that throwing 100+ heroes at hamidon will do any good but make people think you can't beat him.... YOU CAN BEAT HIM... it just takes a great team with a great plan and thats where we come in. we have an excellent game plan, and a forum to post it. so you can ask questions and they will be answered, although we hope to cover everything you can think of. we will not annouce any raid's or raid info on this forum, we will only annouce when we defeat him. only SG members will know when the real raid will take place in order to keep non-team players from distracting us from our goal.

we will also be looking for SG Alliances, so if your a founder/main leader of a SG with at least 5 lvl45+ (def/crtl, blaster that we need can be 40+) feel free to get more info from one of our leaders.

so if you would like to be part of the team that defeats Hamidon on Liberty server.... then send /tell or in-game e-mail to...
Retro Knight


PS... this is for people that seriously want to defeat hamidon... PL'ers will be kicked immediately.

i wouldnt call that an exploit at all, what, would you want the contact to not sell inspires?

anyway i figured that out a long while back when my 1st toon was lvl10 or so by watching others, and ive NEVER seen anyone lvl22+ use this ability, there is just no need, 1st lvl inspires are crap by then.
