Quote:Sure, I20 will have a lot of cool new features. Unfortunately, if I19 and Going rogue is any marker for how they will disseminate said coolness, it will require you to "buy" I20 before you can play any of said cool features.....=POriginally Posted by Marcian Tobay
I quit City of Heroes.
No, really, I did. A few weeks ago, I told some of the people closer to me that I was quitting, sent my feedback quietly to a red name, and even reevaluated my budget now that this $15 a month as freed up. One of the last things said red name told me was "I hope that you find something in a future Issue that can bring you back." I politely told them something akin to "Ya right" and resumed closing up shop.
Then I read the Issue 19 notes in detail on I19's launch day.
"Character switching without logging out? Cool, now I can mix up my play styles in one sitting more easily. Nifty, if I were staying."
"Power Animations? Well, Marcian, the only reason you didn't pick supernatural powers was because it bothered you that all characters used the same animations. So, that opens up whole new power sets for you."
"Incarnates... so now my level 50 is relevant again. Wait, and the story makes him stronger than Statesman or Recluse!?"
"Praetoria got fleshed out some more!? Didn't I just vent that there was no auto mission generator? Did they read my mind!? You said you'd only use Seers for good!"
-----
In all seriousness, Issue 19 handily takes care of the vast majority of the reasons I'm quitting. I knew the update was coming for a while. There's a difference, however, between hearing something will be happening soon and actually logging on and having said options laid out before you.
I tried to leave, but they keep me in. Again and again. I can only imagine that I20, in all its shrouded secrecy, is going to crabshell us with some incredible other feature that keeps me in the game.
Good job, Red Names. You all collaborate on a fine project.

Well, the blaster who does that (and The_Josh does it a lot) is at risk the whole time when setting this up. It's not something you can throw together in a couple seconds. I know that he gets interrupted quite often when trying. Pulling such a maneuver off should be rewarded with a kill.

And taking the time to set up an AS shouldn't be?

If defenders, blasters, corruptors, controllers and dominators can survive and do well without stealth, then why the heck can't you?

Does The_Josh use his Cloaking Device while setting up his trap? Then he's not without stealth, is he?
All of those archetypes have ranged attacks. Stalkers do not. Melee range multiplies risks significantly.
Finally, everyone has access to the Concealment pool. Stealth is an option for everyone in the game. Stalkers are only unique in that ALL of them have stealth, and they can stack it.

Difference between hero/villain stealth, invis, greater invis, hide
HERO/VILLIAN POOL POWER STEALTH = little glowy effect(actually makes you easier to see)
INVIS=you become see thru, but are still noticable
SUPERIOR INVIS=another see thru one, but you can attacK thru this one
HIDE=nothing, and I mean nothing shows up. there is no cue, no subtle movement, no bending of the light. there is no visable component to hide, other than the removal of the toon using it, from every other players screens. you can still attack, but hide supresses(big whoop) Placate instantly "hides" you from the toon you use it on, but only that toon. again, you just disapear from that toon screens, completely.
the MYTH that stalkers have no defenses is just that, a myth. And yes, if you click AS while I am in range, even if I am 50 miles away by the time it goes off, even if I get Recalled to the entrance to the zone before it goes off, it still hits. The only way to stop a AS once it is activated, is to interupt it. period.
