    That why I like A the best. Looks like a skyraider pack that doesn't stick out 8 feet on both sides.

    With that being said if the tops on B looked more like C (see below) it would have been a hard choice. Not a fan of the rings.

  2. If A had little blinky lights on the chest part I'd totally pick that one.


  3. Sorry to go against the grain but I'm choosing A. I've been wanting a design like that for ages.
  4. As I skimmed through the free MMO list on mmorpg.com I noticed that CoH wasn't on the list at all. It still seems to be listed as a pay for game that requires a sub. Just sayin'.

    I got a good chuckle out of that. Reminded me of this video:

    Its featured not new. Check the title of the post.

    EDIT: just saw the red new next to it.

  7. To those that haven't seen it, the coyote in action:

    The price may be a bit much, but I have to admit it is pretty cool.
  8. I can finally buy the rocket board now that it's on sale. I'll buy the carpet too... when it goes on sale.

    Ok, so what about new sales every week? You're trying to "compel" different people into spending points with a variety of items correct? Well hit us with a different variety of sales per week. I bet you would compel a lot of people into buying a lot of stuff with the good ol' "for sale" bait. Something that wasn't on sale last week may appeal to someone this week with a lower price tag.

    Just a thought.
  11. Nice, 3 of my costumes in there. You have a great eye

    most SJ/SS bunny-hoppers.

    If you do the crit first, you probably don't get an AS at all.

    So, basically, he's complaining that someone spiking him from range with Sharks
    is somehow worse than being spiked from range with Psi by stealthed blasters
    or Doms...

    Sorry, I'm not buying it.

    If the Devs want to tweak recharge or damage of Sharks somewhat, I'm more or less
    ok with that (depending on how ridiculous they get), but to remove it entirely,
    nope...

    All he asked for was to move the power one spot down so it wouldn't be accessible in sirens. I don't think that's a unwarranted request. Stalker are easy to play there without sharks. I never said anything about removing it and I'm pretty sure the OP stated he didn't want a nerf to sharks just a level swap. Are people really seeing that as a issue?

    Because PvP gets worse and worse as time passes IMO. The horrid changes destroyed a once strong PvP community and as PvP sits on the devs back burner it looses more and more players. At this point it really isnt worth working on PvP fixes from a dev standpoint. The player base doesn't justify the expense. Why work on something hardly anyone plays when they can make moar trialz for the pve crowd!!1! And lets be honest, PvP needs A TON of work. Its not something I'm going to hold my breath for.

    Not that I completely disagree, mind you. But, as others have noted, there
    are a metric crapton of powers that are "unbalanced", and Sharks would be
    one of them on the list.

    As a stalker myself, there are two primary concerns I have.

    AS - won't kill anybody by itself... I'm actually ok with that.

    However, with nearly everyone being a SJ/SS bunny-hopping, super speeder,
    AS is challenging to get off in the first place, given it's a melee power, long
    activating, and interruptible with movement, all against a foe that can probably
    see you at melee range to begin with....

    It's hardly surprising that many stalkers simply don't get good enough to use AS
    all that much to begin with in PvP.

    But the second part, with Stalkers being melee based, is said Bunny Hopper is
    gonna be long gone for the follow-up strike even if an AS is landed.

    So, even with AS, a ranged follow-up is a key ingredient for a stalker to get a
    kill at all against anyone other than a complete moron.

    I'm not a fan at all of Sharks being the *only* tool a (bad) stalker uses, but a hard
    hitting ranged power is important for a stalker given the current climate.

    So, nope - /unsigned

    PS> And yes, Ares - I *do* play in SC, pretty much exclusively, as you probably already know
    I've played in sirens on many occasion and stalkers did perfectly fine before sharks. AS is a lot more powerful in sirens. Granted in RV sharks are pretty much needed to compete because of the awful PvP changes, but in sirens call its a whole different story. If you need sharks in sirens you're doing it wrong. Granted I don't blame people for using the tools the dev's put in their hands, but still...

    But to be honest, sirens is so dead its not worth the time putting in a fix for this. How many players would actually benefit from it? Maybe 1% if that.

    Thats all that really needs to be said. Its a silly power. Just one of the long list of powers that need balancing.

    As far as OP'd powers go in the past (see ET nerf for reference) don't hold your breath on a fix. It may take awhile... and the direction PvP's been going during the last few years, possibly never.

    What point would that be? That you THINK it should be that way? Well thats cool and all but I think they should have custom color tints. PB's should have a "bright aura" choice like a lot of the current shield do (fire shield for example) and WS should have the dark aura option.

    As far as this thread goes its pretty interesting. It must have took some time to write this up. Good job.

    Well speak for yourself because this is insulting my intelligence. This joke of a pack is way overpriced and is marketed for a event that ends in a day...
