I was a little disappointed to see my comment deleted. I wasn't rude or abusive in any way. I stated my opinion, just as everyone else has.

It must have hit a bit close to the mark.

I wonder if ol' Emmert will actually be in front of the computer or if Statesman will just be an NPC. WOW that would be cool to open unlimited bottles of kick butt on the lead designer of CoH.

You'll have your chance - I'll be playing the one and only Statesman!

That's awesome! I don't care what others say. I'll have my 26, 23, and 19 all attacking States even if he's lvl 100.

Why not the fighting pool? Isn't 2 travels a waste?

I'm sorry, but I think this was one of the funnies posts I've read on this forum. I had to repost for those that missed it. To those who did it was made in reference as to why the devs don't reveal specific details about the next updates too early (well, one theory anyway).

HOST - Tired of being on the bad side of one of Statesman's mono-syllabic teasing statement? Well, fear not, now you TOO can learn this wonderful art and at a one-time low low cost.

STRANGELY WELL-SPOKEN AUDIENCE MEMBER - That sounds too good to be true!

HOST - Oh, it's not! The art of Statesmanship goes back centuries into the very basic core of human language development. You can tap into this art by by spending just pennies and making a lot of just dollars.

STRANGELY WELL-SPOKEN AUDIENCE MEMBER - Hmmm. Can you give me an example?

HOST - Sure. Let's take a look!

/screen waves back and forth briefly shifting to a living room scene. A woman is sewing in a recliner. A man walks in.

HUSBAND - What's for dinner, baby?

WIFE - Meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

HUSBAND - Wow. I had been building it up in my mind and now that I hear what's for dinner I've been let down. I'm going to go have sex with the lady next door.

/snap back to set.

HOST - See. Once the husband knew what he was getting, he didn't want it anymore. That's because anticipation is a powerful human emotion. Once you learn how to keep folks wanting something that they don't know anything about, you have them at your mercy!

STRANGELY WELL-SPOKEN AUDIENCE MEMBER - Wow. I never thought of it that way. But how would that apply to that brief, but beautifully poignant morality tale we just witnessed?

HOST - I'm glad you asked.

/snap back to living room. The woman again sits in a recliner as her husband enters.

MAN - What's for dinner, honey?

WOMAN - Funny you should mention honey.

/brief silence.

MAN - Is it something with honey?

/brief silence.

MAN - Toast? or, uh, aww come on baby what is it?

/brief silence.

MAN - Are we eating breakfast for dinner? Aww man that would be so good right now. Or is it... ummmm ham. I love honey-baked ham? Come on you ahve to tell me.

/brief silence.

WOMAN - I'm kindof thirsty.

MAN - Rushes off to get her something to drink.

/snap to set

HOST - See, it's just that simple. And with our fine product you'll learn how to extend your power indefinitely!

STRANGELY WELL-SPOKEN AUDIENCE MEMBER - Now THAT'S Impossible!

HOST - Is it?

/snap to dinner table. The man is greedily eating meatloaf and mashed potatoes. The woman is similing contently.

MAN - This is great! I love meatloaf. (smack) But I don't taste any honey.

/brief silence.

WOMAN - I didn't say when or where honey would come into play, now did I?

MAN - (with a big grin) Oh, you mean, tonight... upstairs... your headache is gone?

WOMAN - (In a high-pitched sing-songy voice) Now, I didn't SAY that.

The man begins to eat faster.

/snap back to set

HOST - See, you too can use anticipation as an ally. Just send check or money order to

I went back and gave MrDusk 5 stars for this post.

BAH!

Bring it on!

We have faced MANY AV's along the way. Each one was challenging in different ways. The one thing you need is to be able to do heavy damage. They are difficult to hold, slow, or debuff. They frequently will one-hit players.

We love the AV's and are dedicating a special page on our SG web site for pics. Since some of us have Phase Shift and Stealth we can get very good screens of them.

Statesman, I'm glad you replied and implied you won't change them.

How about if you are not in SK range it drops the XP. Once it says "you can are no longer being SK'd" kiss the XP good bye.

This mechanic already esists in game.

My understanding is that if you are SK'd and are "in the same zone" or "in the mission" when the XP is given you receive it. If you "get too far away from your SK" I don't think that stops you from getting XP. It just means that you will probably not be able to kill anything that you come across.

Does anyone know?

Actually, how's this: If you are not in aggro range (or some other close range) of a mob, you cannot gain XP from that mob.

I think there might be something to this. How about if you are not in SK range it drops the XP. Once it says "you can are no longer being SK'd" kiss the XP good bye. At the very least it would make it more of an inconvenience.

PLing doesn't really affect me and how I play the game, but I do think it goes against the reason the game was made. It would be like playing someone in chess with a higher ranking, but letting someone of equal rank play him for you; yet you get credit for the win. Doesn't make sense.

Does it bother me that they do it? No. As has been mentioned it's their choice. Would I like to see ways implemented to make it harder to do? You bet.
