Quote:What do I think?CoH does a good job of doing violence to everyone regardless of race, creed, or gender. That's kinda the point of a Superhero game, really. However, a few people are starting to call 'Women in Refrigerators' on the recent in-game events.
For an in depth look at the phenomenon, visit the above link. However, a brief description is having BAD THINGS happen to female characters in order to move the story along, be it to give major male characters grief to emote against or a reason to strike at their enemies.
Some people simply call 'Misogyny'. However, one of the more common, more reasonable explanations is that since most comic writers are male, it's easier to write for male characters than it is to write for females. They get more mileage out of griefing their male leads by heaping torment upon their female leads than the other way around. Murder, ****, and other kinds of torture are doled out to be reacted to.
Barbara Gordon's crippling and subsequent sexual harassment at the hands of the Joker in 'The Killing Joke' solely as a measure to torment Jim Gordon stands out as the most prominent example in my mind, but there are many, many others.
(CoH spoilers ahead)
Certain in-game deaths in the last few pieces of content released seem to focus more heavily upon female characters than male characters. Praetorian Vanessa's death seems rather heroic rather than pointless. She died for the sake of getting the truth out.
However... Miss Liberty's death (and Manticore's reaction to its possibility) seems rather pointless and plotted solely to grief Statesman and spur him to possibly irrational action in future episodes of 'Who Will Die?'.
I don't know that this is 'Women in Refrigerators', but I think it may be coming close. Is it intentional on the part of the writers, say purposefully reflecting the phenomenon in comics? Is it simply one of many minor characters who are about to tally their bucket lists?
What do you think?

Quote:That doesn't mean just because its the benchmark it cannot increase its quality. A lot of car company benchmark Honda but their recent iteration of the Civic is bland and has quality issues with it's interior. Honda is now fast tracking the 2013 update for the Civic.COH needs to step up its game? Isnt COH the benchmark for which all superhero MMOs look at? Im pretty certain CoH is THE superhero MMO
CoH can use some much needed updating and if they want to really sell items they need to increase the quality of new items for sale. This undead survival kit is sub-par, it is a compilation of items I can get in game fairly easily.
I want new travel powers, transformations, back items, new powersets, content, etc... Not rehashed and repackaged in game items. -
Getting a war wolf is hardly paying to win. That pet dies so easily its not a huge impact on game play. Pay to win would be like say paying to get to 50

Quote:I would take two slots from Fast Healing and Health and use them else where. Getting as close to the soft cap trumps getting more regeneration.heres a build i got on kinetic melee, i know its not the same as your build however as i pointed out in my previous post ( which i hope i wasnt sounding disrespectful) that chasing defense is a long shot to sum it up, id like to show you my build, albeit defense is low, however there may be some ideas on this build you could incorperate into yours and give you a bit of help in doing so.

again i hope this really helps you out and good luck on the build werner.
Your slotting for MoG is different. I'd 3 slot it with two recharge enhancements and a LoTG:7.5.

I'd like to see CoF fixed, it sucks without 5 or 6 slots in it.

Quote:The issue that I find with CoH is that it doesn't take a lot of skill to play even with SO's. Its a "point and shoot" MMOThat's how I always wished it worked, too. I'd rather the difference between characters be due to choices in slotting and skill in playing the result, rather than having ground/marketed better loot. It took me a long time to embrace IOs at all, because of the crafting aspect. Once I got used to it, it wasn't so bad, but it still can be somewhat tedious. Much, much less so than in other games, however.
The few times I've tried other MMOs, I've pretty much recoiled in horror because the grinding and crafting there felt to me like filling out forms at the DMV. -
The ToE proc is a god send. With a 90% confidence interval get 3 to 4 tics of a mob at x8. Buy it, craft it, slot it, profit.

Katana or Broadsword both go well. The layered defense adds a lot of damage mitigation to regeneration.

Quote:The Hamidon could be the 7th trial.Let me say that I like your idea. I dislike that the trials lower the significance of the individual, and would love it if my characters could go one-on-one with Cole and be the sole savior of Praetoria.
That being said, I do not see this happening for a couple reasons. First, the Devs promised seven Praetorian Trials. We have now seen six, and since (as you say) Tyrant is really the only one left, it is pretty clear that "Cole's Tower" or something will be the final Praetorian trial. Second, Cole is the Well's champion (according to the game). Until we have access to the Omega slot, I cannot imagine us currently having the strength to take down Cole single-handedly.
Again, I wish it were so, and indeed, I hope in the future that we can be on the same solo-strength level as Statesman, but I do not see it happening with Cole. -
I've noticed one or two specific people throwing out insults but nothing too wide spread.

Did it happen to look something like this?

When it comes to free players are the developers even listening? I remember seeing ALL of these requests in early beta and it seems like most of it was ignored.

Quote:I have minor scoliosis and flat feet, the cure? Orthotics and five fingers. Orthotics helped my back and five finger shoes are slowly building up the muscles in my feet to support my arch.More power to you both, but it's not an option for everyone.
Personally, I merely have minor scoliosis, flat feet, some cervicale and ankle dislocation (probably not the right word, I mean the articulations jump a little and can get stuck), but even just that is enough to make a long walk more stressful to my body than a hour at the gym lifting weights, as the latter is a more controlled environment ; and don't take this as me being a gym-fan and a walk-hater, I love walking and can't do it as much as I wish I could ; and there are numerous people with much bigger problems than me out there.
There's the argument that almost everyone can swim (as being in the water puts nearly no stress on the body), but you have to live near a swimming pool that is open at hours you can manage with work and so on. Then there's different allergies to the amount of junk they throw in public pools. -

Dark armor sucks! -
Made a few changes, mind you I'm no KM expert so I don't know what set bonuses work best for KM. I'd imagine you'd want enough recharge to get PS close to permanent and then use CS to "crit" and recharge PS.

Quote:Incorrect StJ goes best with Shield, why?Yeah, dunno that I'd say StJ sucks monkey coconuts (
), but I've had similar reservations. Don't get me wrong; I don't at all regret buying the set or spending time rolling/playing a StJ character. It's a fun set with an interesting mix of mechanical wrinkles.
Oddly enough, StJ seems, at least with respect to single-target damage, to reward you at both the extreme low end and the extreme high end; attack chains that require basically zero global recharge aren't significantly worse than attack chains that require ridiculous amounts of global +recharge -- but the more +damage (and procs) you stack, the more benefit StJ pulls from its -RES debuffs (also procs).
One of the results of that frankly ingenius (though perhaps unintentional) design is that it can leave the powergamer puzzled. For the first time in I-don't-know-how-long, I'm leveling a build without any kind of firm idea about what I want to do with it. That's ... vaguely unsettling, but I'm not sure it's a bad thing.
(For what it's worth, I'm leaning towards the notion that StJ goes best with Willpower, because Willpower gets zilch from recharge bonuses. You can have a more-or-less optimized StJ attack chain on a max-defensive WP character. And! You don't need glowing hands.)
All of that said, there are flaws, or if you prefer, shortcomings in the set. On a personal level, the biggest surprise has been how much StJ makes me appreciate Martial Arts more.
Because the batman said so! -
Kind of like this. Bare in mind I am rusty at builds and I'm sleepy so I might have made some silly mistakes.
