    I don't see how adding the ability to carry 5 more 1 minute mini-buffs would have much of an effect on anything, or have mission altering power in the CoH/V universe. For me, it's a matter of convenience issue, and not a game-breaking issue.

    It's also a decent payoff for those interested, and willing to actually go out and earn those vanguard merits, in my opinion.
    the game is not unbalanced. being able to solo spawns of +4/x8 or solo AV's GM's is what happens when someone builds for it using io sets. having another row of slots for insps, while not game breaking, is not needed. you do not need to eat an insp everytime one wears off, just learn insps management. and you can get temp powers that are very helpful when playing also. so /unsigned to this idea.
  4. they drop to easily. if you are not eating them when you get them then something is wrong. not oppossed to this idea, just don't really see a need for it.

    you didn't read the post did you? she said half a dozen (6) or so at lv 3. the devs are not going to change the game just to suit your idea of what super should feel like. if you find that 2 minions and 1 lt. aren't enough for you then by all means, go to a field trainer and up your diff. either change the lv you fight at and make those few npc's tougher or change the number of heroes you are equal to higher so you fight more of them.

    It's the thought of grinding out all those badges again. The first time was fun but I don't see myself doing all those again.
    So I guess the powerset respec was the wrong vantage point to come from (easiest but still wrong).
    this is why we have a search function. use it. and no to making badges other then anniversary ones account wide.

    What is actually the case here is that some pvp IO's (recipe or crafted) are cheaper than celerity (recipe or crafted) when you compare them. Some pvp IO's are more expensive.

    The information I take away from that is that running stealth IO's are fairly popular and some pvp IO's, despite extreme rarity (compared to all other IO's), are unpopular.

    Inferring anything beyond that is a stretch. That said, I'm pretty flexible, so I can further infer that rarity is not always tied to function. I think this is a safe conclusion that is evidenced in normal IO's, but very apparent in pvp IO's.
    that is what i was trying to say. you just said it better. and rarity actually does have something to do with it, but since purples and PvP io's exemplar down with you and retain their full value, as well as stealth io's, the only real comparisson for them is at lv 50 where purples actually exsist and PvP io's are sought after and exsist.

    Powerset Respec

    how about NO! i really wish people would stop bringing this up when THEY KNOW IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. re-roll. plain and simple.
  11. tell you what then, give us undeniable proof that every stealth recipe or io is harder to obtain then any purple or PvP io or recipe that is of equall demand. the list of purple and PvP recipe/io's you may not use are holds, confuse, immob's, pbaoe's, sleeps and targeted aoe's. infact scratch that, compare lv 50 stealth recipes/io's to purples and lv 50 PvP recipes/io's since purples are only lv 50. in either case, you are completely wrong.
  12. guess what AF, if you use the market the way it is supposed to be used you wouldn't pay those prices. but again, you won't learn and refuse to be taught. there are more stealth recipes, not io's because you don't drop io's, at any given time then there are purple or PvP recipes. this makes your statement false as you have been shown time and time again. deal with being wrong and just shut up.

It is a group of people who BELIEVE they understand it well enough to come to a consensus among themselves. Oh you certainly may have had some people who did different experiments, but a handful of experiments does not make a theory, a fact. It does not matter how many times you posted your opinion. Facts are facts and theories, regardless of how many agree with you, are only theories.

    If I don't farm, but I say I know someone who farms, does that mean it's not happening or not a fact because you and 10 other people may deny it's happening?

    I stated market manipulation as a fact since I have personal knowledge of people doing it. And you may rightly challenge that as a fact if you like, but you are not disproving it if you can not show contrary evidence, like FACTS. For instance, you can say "I know no one that can do it" and that may be a FACT. To say "It is impossible" is a THEORY that you believe. A theory is an explanation of facts, without any facts your theory doesn't hold water. That's where you, mac and a couple others are off base. You think you don't need facts because some others agree with you. That's nonsense. Your Peer Review claim is entirely a consensus OPINION, or at best a THEORY. Your peer review is not fact nor contrary evidence.

    Since you obviously can't produce FACTS and have no proof to support your assertion that market manipulation is impossible, I will lower the bar for you. Show me some post by a red name that says market manipulation is impossible.
    first off, no one ever said it couldn't happen. it does but not to the degree you are trying to make it out to be. plain and simple. it may happen for anywhere form 10 mins to 2 hours but that is about as far as it can go for any given item. why don't you actually learn how to use the markets for what they are and not use them as a store where you want it nao. place some bids on what you are looking for and they will fill. i have placed bids, boughten what i need to craft other things and by the time i get in my base, i have what i placed bids on. that is how the markets are supposed to be used.

    both you and another fan are completely wrong. all you 2 are doing now is arguing for the sake of arguing. market manipulation is not a way to make money because it can not be done. in order for it to be done you would need to buy up all the supply everytime it hit the market leaving only your goods there. it is impossible to do.

    another fan, you are comparing a lv 10-15 celerity stealth io's to the low end PvP io's. that is not a fair comparison at all. why don't you actually provide proof of what you speak? because you won't. you do not want to be proven wrong. stealth io's are trivial to attain. PvP io's are not. and the ones that everyone wants to use for PvP are very high priced. infact they are priced at about 4-5 times more then a lv 10-15 celerity stealth io on average.

    both of you need to get a life and learn about what you are talking about.

It doesn't, and in no way should the new player ever feel "left out."


    Btw, the buff pets have a VERY minor effect in-game. You might be able to argue about the vet attacks, but the buff pets are laughable in bonus/affect. Trust me, the "booster packs" offer WAY more than vet bonuses could ever offer in value.


    Anyways, you're entitled to your opinion, and I to mine. I just think that you got your panties in a bundle way too quickly from the start, and you could have taken a much less aggressive and much more sensible approach to the suggestion. Stress much? Relax.
    it makes a world of difference to a new player who is not noticing levels being gained as fast as that "vet" they are playing with. it will make them feel left out.

    there is no reason to add this at all. /unsigned.

    if you wantto finish the contacts before moving to the next zone then upping the diff isnt going to help you.

    I have Hurricane/Tornado and Lighting storm for KB I don't need a power that is just knock back with them. Yes opening up both powers would work better so people could pick and add more variety to builds
    can already do this on a defender. and gale is used for a control for more more control in the low levels. you do not have to slot it or even keep it in your tray.
  21. last i knew kick does not cause redraw. boxing does.

    and a makos quad to slot it with.

    Gold Event Title

    it was an invasion event about 3 days ago. the arachnos attacked faultline and the longbow attacked nerva(i think, i only did it blue side.)
