Forgot about this thread

My Brute Chainlinks got to run with Tankerbot and some GE folks last week. Had a PHENOMENAL run through the Vindicators' Base, with only 4 of us against soem of the toughest Hero class nuisances around, and we came through with hardly any defeats (I think I had the only faceplant).

Soon after that, we wiped the floor with Mr. Recluse himself. Was loads of fun

Any my personal favorite -

Someone on the team lols at everything. Sometimes they lol at their own lols, or just write lolz. Sometimes you can make fun of them, and they'll lol.

You: "When we enter into the next room, let's focus on taking out stunners first this time so we don't all get held."
Them: lolz. I'll aim for the minion gunner, lol
You: "Well, half the team died last time from being stunned, let's get the stunners first"
Them: lol. n00b. lolz.
You: "Are you retarded?" (not meant as an insult to the mentally handicapped)
Them. LOL LOL LOL !!!!!!!lol111oneone
You: Seriously, what's wrong with you?
Them: Lol lol LOL. Minions are teh suk. I wonder if anyone is dancing in Atlas

Excellent point Also, there's always the healer who invites you to group, spends the twenty minutes extolling how great of a healer she is, then says, "Cmon Mr. Blaster, you can solo this Archvillain, all you need are my buffs!"----

<RA, HA, Fort., Invis.>
Your Target Drone increases your accuracy.
Your Cloaking Device increases your defense.
Your Combat Jumping has increased your defense.
You activate Smoke Grenade.
You Snipe Battle Maiden for 568 points of lethal damage!
Battle Maiden shoots you with her arrow for 560 points of lethal damage!
You take an additional 560 points of damage from the exploding arrow!
You cannot use that power after you have been defeated.

Healer: (and I'm quoting from experience) Hmm, that's never happened before. Oh well.

Healer X has quit the team.

As you can plainly see this is my first live broadcast in Paragon City, though I've been living here for quite a while...many of you know me as the guy who brought down Countess Crey...by the way I'm funding the broadcast of her trial, so you're all very welcome. All of this is besides the point. I'm here, right now in all of your living rooms, to challenge Statesman to a public battle...that's right, you heard me old man. Come out from whatever rock you're hiding under...I'll make it well worth your while. Its high time the Freedom Phalanx had a real leader, not some overly-paranoid fool. You have 24 hours to respond before I start my hunt.

Statesman, I've noticed that you've been talking about making mobs tougher (although increasing their xp), and also making changes (making them weaker, I am assuming) to blaster AOEs, all because you believe that the game post 30 is too easy.

Is this the correct way to fix the issue at large? Making mobs tougher and making our AOE weaker will only make our job as blasters more tough. Some will call it challenging, but I don't see it as challenging in a fun way, rather more frustrating to gain xp. This is especially true since most of our attacks rely heavily on alpha strike. We really can't survive long term engagements. You must know this, yet you seem set on this course.

The larger issue - making the game more challenging post 30 - cannot be solved by making the same mobs that we've been fighting all this time suddenly tougher. In fact, even though I like what you did with update 2, introducing different types of mobs is only a short term solution. People will soon get bored with doing the same thing over and over again. Instead, if you want to make the game challenging, you should really focus on pvp and SG-specific issues like HQs.

ANy way, this is my 2 cents. This is not intended as a whine.. just a concern from a dedicated blaster who hopes to see the game grow into a more enjoyable form
