You guys need some serious help.

;P

Here he comes. Here comes Speed Racer He's a demon on wheels. He's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone. ...

Turbo is the lost love of Shard. They can be found hypothesizing together the rise and fall of monkeys in Founders Falls.

I'm offended that Crim is offended by the easily offended. I'm also offended by the assumptions and abuse of Miss Freeze and her patronizing tone toward everyone else. I'm offended by Shard and his lunacy with tags and the hurtful things he says about Turbo. And I'm especially offended that Philly and SnowGlobe insist on being offended at me being offended at Crim and Freeze and Shard.

so there

Philly,
agreed

I'm glad that we all agree that turbo = noob and monkey sez pew pew. As for the rest of the silliness being discussed in this forum section, perhaps there are opportunities for better use of all this typing?

Waaaah, he/she attacked my post!
Waaaah, they put some inane tag that calls me a n00b!
Waaaah, noone likes me!

Give me a break. Have we all grown so bored of COH that all we can do is whine and complain about other forum users now? Good Lord just put some good ideas for the mods to work on in here or shut up.

As is usual for COH devs they go from one extreme to the other.

This is simply mind-boggling.

I can appreciate wanting to make the AE more challenging or whatever the mind set is. But penalizing a player's creativity by totally nerfing XP on a custom character is NOT the way to do it. Number of powers alone does not equal a more difficult enemy so this metric is useless.

If you want to make sure that full xp is given for each custom character, then make the effort to create a bunch of custom "template" powersets that we can choose from and forget about all this infantile percentage scaling. This is the same stupidity that got us into trouble with base costs, enhancement effectiveness and various other issues we've had to bear over the last five years.

In the end, trying to balance the market is futile because you can't stop players from going online and purchasing influence with real money. This entire system has been so overdone and so overcomplicated now that it can only fail long term.

The good news is that short term as Dr_Toerag_UK points out, the people that care enough to waste their time will get rich while others will go on about their business of just selling to Wentworth's or the Black Market anything that happens to drop.

I had honestly hoped that a more creative solution would've surfaced than this ridiculous diminishing returns. You can't stop the exploitation of a game economy. It happens in every MMPORG. All you're going to accomplish is having people create another toon that they can run the TF's with and then pass the influence to all their alts.
