It would be far easier if those you could team with would show up in green. Those you cannot team with show up in red. And for those on a team that you could team with, let them show up in yellow.

In the spirit of Columbus Day, the first cat girl on the server - Bad Kitty.
And for people that keep saying Who. That is my stalker.
In reality there are no icons of the game. Does anyone really say to themselves "I really can't wait to get home to catch a glimpse of XXX." or "Wow, i got a tell from so and so..." -

Honestly the 1st time I ever heard the term "Offender" it was in a very good light and it was a amazing player with a Kin/Rad. Yes! All Defenders need to take and slot thier attacks. To not do so is gimping yourself and your team.
...maybe I should jump ship
..........Transhade do you think the Scrapper community would accept my Trap/AR defender? I'm almost always in melee and I have L33T heals from my Triage Beacon. -

Shame on you Phire =( Ok so maybe I took a few months off from the forums here and there. When did "Offender" become a derogatory term? I've been a forum lurker longer than poster and I've played on and off since i2. "Offender" has always ment a Defender maximized for offense..... period. Never have I heard of an Offender being refered to one who gimps thier own primary. Old school Offenders were Kin/Psi, Kin/Rad, Rad/Psi, Rad/Rad, and Storm/Ice. When the newer sets came along Kin/Archery and the biggest one of all Rad/Sonic. You Phire, my friend are a Offender (Cold/Ice) and a wonderful example of one if I do say so myself.
....you too Je_saist?
..........I think I died a little inside today
.................................and Max called it a Healer
I guess the stories were true the Defender forums eat thier own =(
Offender is just another term that people want to make themselves think they are something they are not. Isn't it common place for defenders to attack in addition to using their defender primirary? -
Fly is still too slow compared to SJ or SS.

I figured this whole idea might end up as a phail. Just wanted to try it out. The first thing that got me on the idea of the Posi as an easy solo merit farm, was the fact that I had two account. Fastest Posi I've done is 1.5 hours (original Posi). With 2 accounts, if I could get it down to 1 hour, would be 120 merits in an hour. That's 4 p.u.g. ITF's if they're decent teams. Decent meaning, not sucky. But I think I'm gonna give up on the whole idea.
Old Posi gives 40 mertis via O missions. With alot of coordination between 2 live accounts, I could see close to an hour. I completed in 1:34 without any planning of mission routes. -
Quote:Farming and PVP both have caused changes to the game. I tie pvp here as well because I have more issue with the negative impact caused by PVP. But with regard to Claws list, the key word is negatively.Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
But, farming HAS caused things in the non-AE game to be changed.
Shadowhunter's map is now timed, it didn't used to be.
Dreck's map is now timed, it didn't used to be.
Comm Officer portals no longer give XP.
Portal-spawned Behemoths no longer give XP.
High level Family mobs got their rewards reduced.
All of those things are verifiably true, so farming HAS had a negative impact on the game, because it seems the devs would rather the players not stop at one mission and run nothing else for the rest of that character's career.
Do I, personally, have an issue with farming? Not really, but when it's taken to the point that it starts to get things changed in a negative way I start getting a little annoyed with it.
If you happen to enjoy farming, go for it. As long as what you're doing doesn't impact MY playing, I won't care. If you farm something to the point that the devs feel the need to alter it, THEN I might have an issue with it.
As far as the OP's question goes, any of those powersets should do well. I also suggest perhaps spines/fire scrappers as well.
If Shadowhunter's map is now timed and a non farmer would do it one time and move on, how is that negatively impacting?
If Dreck's map is now timed and a non farmer would do it one time and move on, how is that negatively impacting?
These three I agree were caused by Farmers. I have not felt or noticed the negative impact, but I can appreciate the annoyance of it.
Comm Officer portals no longer give XP.
Portal-spawned Behemoths no longer give XP.
High level Family mobs got their rewards reduced. -
Quote:MA as released was the worst product for COH. The beta testers (yes the ones who claim to be so thorough) and the developers all missed the levels of exploiting that could and would occur. But then again how could it be?Originally Posted by Ironblade
These words do not mean what you think they mean. If we juggle things around a bit, you'll have part of it right. People did 'exploit' MA missions and so they had to be adjusted.
Some exploiting involves farming, some does not.
Farming can be exploitative; or not.
Personally, I believe MA was released just the way it was for a reason. It served its purpose and then was cut down to size. Farmers were just the ones who got blamed. -
Quote:If you can't get below 20 minutes, how is that farming? Yes I am joking.Originally Posted by _23X_
However when I do an ITF "at the speed of dUmb" that isn't farming just being efficient (though at 22 minutes and doing 8 in a day some may call it that.)
To the original poster. If you got 8 ele/shd to farm you should consider splitting into more then one group on the map.
Good luck in your fun. -
I think they just wanted to be nostalgic to the release of City of Heroes. All the mob running; the denials of any problems; and modifications being made with no admissions of problems. It is deja vu all over again.

Quote:Yeah it seems like the angry posters have come out. Usually it is the defender forum that eats its own..Originally Posted by Elimist
Wow, this thread turned into a total burn.
A) I didn't make the build, and haven't tweaked it at all
B) I have a 50 build for the toon
C) I was just throwing it up here to see if anyone had the interest to take a look. I could figure it all out myself, but have other priorities
D) The reference to my other post was mostly a joke. I got Containtment Field to use for a few certain instances, like bubbling healing nictus and such. If I joke around with someone and bubble their target, it's probably because it's a global I play with often, and it's just a little ribbing (Which Tamaki is, and it was). I'd appreciate not being shunned for that.
So uh, if you're one of the helpful advisers, thanks for taking a look.
If you're one of the "You should be ashame of yourself for posting this"
or "It ain't rocket surgery" types, let's try to keep things civil shall we? -
Quote:Cranky generalizations are just that.Originally Posted by Fulmens
This.
A lot of people who come to this game and play support, and I'm going to try to be generous here, are used to being ABSOLUTELY NEEDED for the team to succeed. And they play healers. When CoH changes, and they need to be buffers more than healers, and they're not quite as ABSOLUTELY NEEDED, they react badly.
Screw generous. Healers show up and expect to have their ***** kissed for using 1/3 of one powerset, and they get to level 20 and all of a sudden the tank doesn't actually need healing, and the controllers are cutting incoming damage to very low levels, and the Scrapper is somewhere entirely different, and the Blasters are binary (HP at 100% or 0), and nobody's saying "Nice Heals", and they flounce. -
About 70% of the Kins that I have played with lately do not even speed boost.
I would be more worried if a Kin didn't fulcrum shift. -
Personally I have hated the UI for this game since the begining and still do hate it. It is the worst of all the MMOs I have played. That being said, the game is still fun and they have made vast improvements in the game since the begining.

There are fast leveling missions that do not exploit the risk versus reward rations if you have the proper person running the mission.
Give Portal of Mystery a try by Transhade - Either you will get totally pissed for trying (i.e. you have a weak build trying to pl) or you will come to love and hate patrols and the expeas that floweth.
In the end no exploits just insane number of mobs and fast paced. -
Lag is creeping back into the servers. The valley in the third mission of the ITF is getting tedious again. Also the ITFs are lagging in more places than they used to.

Quote:Your response was amusing. Yes it is minor in the grand scheme of things, but it does not change the fact that it could have been caught and corrected in Beta and should have. Using your same logic, they really shouldn't have fixed the crystal in Cimerora, it was something fixable by players as well and that was one object in one zone, minor in the MMO world....Originally Posted by Zombie Man
In the scale of Things That Can Go Wrong, I call this a very minor issue.
It's not something that will pop up often and it's something the player can fix themselves.
In the MMO world... that's minor. -
Quote:Either that or they were not working story arcs. Either way I call this a big issue to be missed between the beta testers and the developers.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Theoretically, yes. Was it thought of in Beta? I don't remember it being brought up. Not to cast aspersions, but most Beta Testers were the type to remember to take care of such things before switching sides.

What is the problem? You recieved a gift and returned it. Joking aside, does it really matter if they have a global near yours?

All Stalker ITF was a success at 2:18. It would have been quicker but the LAG sucked XXX and we had sever disconnects.
Mission 1 was your standard fare. Couple deaths here and there but nothing problematic.
Mission 2 we stealth jumped from cyst to cyst. several deaths that way but fun nonetheless.
Misison 3 we leap frogged generals. Overall fun, the beasts and the comp gave us a little issue.
Misison 4 we went to the end and cleared the Runulus track and field. The original plan was to split the auto hit nictus, and the healing while 6 took on Runulus. IF we didn't have the lag we would have been fine, but rubberbanding caused me too much trouble to time the auto hit. We had to stock up on oranges. It got comical, every time we set up an ambush would appear. Pop an Orange Rommy would run. In the end we prevailed.
Thank you to all who participated. It is a nice accomplishment to have done all the ATs through the ITF this way. -
