Problem is that it's (allegedly) difficult to implement. And you'll have to just take my word for it that people want it, I'm not going on a scavenger hunt through the forums just to prove it's popularity.

Where exactly it stands on the "Want it Nao" list, I have no idea, but that doesn't mean it's not a worthwhile goal.

Okay, I laughed.

If our characters were fashioned after amoeba's, sure, but they aren't. They're fashioned after humans, and humans don't have stiff blocky hair. I'd also get rid of the meat mittens too.

You can't just argue that anything remotely real doesn't fit into a super hero game, or I declare that our hair should be made out of pudding and have the consistency of Mars upon Orion's Belt of Jupiter's foreskin and a funny hat.

And she isn't my spokesperson, she just keeps AGREEING with what I'm saying. It's like some kind of super advanced trolling method where I can't do anything because her infamy is obliterating me.

Aw see, that was only for you. I figured I'd allow you to continue argueing with me if you liked it, since it's not really conductive to this thread, is it?

It's not like I was ashamed of saying that to you here or something. I was trying to be considerate~

They're going to do that if you give them new costume designs too, you know.

Flowing hair would add a level of realism that this game is lacking. It's not a bad idea just because GG said it.

The realization blew my mind too.

We should probably lock this now, I'm getting all feisty~

See, I would tend to disagree. Very few people were using AE for the intended goal of storytelling to begin with, so proclaiming that this band-aide somehow breaks something that was already broken is missing the point. Furthermore, people couldn't really *find* the story missions under the hoard of exploit missions, so, if anything, this band-aide helps in that it removes that clutter so that the actual story missions can be more easily found and enjoyed.

Anyone who was looking for AE missions for the story probably are going to keep doing that. Anyone who was looking for AE missions for the EXP probably weren't selecting your missions anyway.

I'll agree that they probably should have waited until they had an actual fix before patching, but I wouldn't proclaim that this temporary fix is breaking anything either when the pieces were already in itty-bitty chunks of obliterated nothingness to begin with.

Do you live in some kind of pseudo-reality then? Yes, it's live.


*EDIT* - Furthermore, weren't you stating that you were making a point? Now you're asking questions? Which is it, exactly?

They aren't. It's a band-aide. It's not permanent.

Figure that out already.

That's a really backwards argument. The player base already didn't give a flying **** about your story missions because they were busy making and exploiting farming capabilities. Those who are really in it for the story likely didn't care about the EXP, and that likely hasn't changed with this (and I can't stress this enough.) TEMPORARY band-aide.

This band-aide is actually taking steps to reverse that trend and make AE about creating stories again, instead of exploitative farming maps.

Will it make you feel better if I play your arcs?

I would agree on a blapper or something. If you can just manipulate all the enemies into using their melee attacks then you wouldn't really need ranged defense, certainly. It does seem kind of backwards considering you have mostly ranged attacks, but nothing is saying you can't use your ranged attacks in melee either.

See, I had a feeling of what you were doing, but I was trying to pretend like you weren't doing that.

I guess I was wrong.

While I might agree that the Devs should have waited until they had a better fix working, I wouldn't declare that their current band-aide encroached upon some kind of moral depravity like you seem to be implying. Furthermore, if you had a point, just ****** say it, not make a whole thread acting all concerned about your poor AE missions, and then breaking down and admitting to what you're doing when nobody is baiting like you wanted.

*EDIT* - Nevermind.

You *can* substitute ranged defense for purely S/L, but you are still going to get hit with a number of attacks that don't have a smashing or lethal component to them. Basically whenever the enemy uses an energy based attack from a range, your S/L isn't going to do much. Most of the S/L damage in this game is within melee, not ranged.

Other than that, I don't really think I implied using Ice Mastery to build ranged defense, but I'll go back and check.

I'm aware of all this, read the rest of my posts.

Possibly. But the qualifications also have to insist that I need super jump, and don't have room to take Air Superiority. Also, that I'm not gonna take Tough or Weave and just settle on Boxing.

As a personal anecdote, I was a little disappointed that my MA/SR wound up only really needed 3 single target attacks and Dragon's Tail for AOE. Hitting 3 buttons over and over reminds me of EQ.

With proper slotting you can get it's recharge under 30 seconds and it's duration over 35+ seconds, which spells permanent sleep on all minions and Lt's as it is a mag 3. This would allow you to focus on a boss, but would limit you from using AOE's, but also reduce the damage you are taking dramatically.

It has more applications for solo play as you'd be able to more easily pick and choose your targets, but it can still be useful on a team if applied correctly. Typically you'd either be using it to stop another spawn that is attacking prematurely, or to stop enemies who have broken away from the tankers attention and are now focused upon you or an ally. Given it's recharge, you'd probably only be able to pull this off once a fight, but you could easily save your entire team with this power as well.

Or someone could fire an AOE at the sleeping mob and kill you all.

Furthermore, it's a good place to five slot another purple set which would grant you another 10% global recharge, which is never a bad thing.

Ninja Run? =D

I suppose. I might consider that filling up a so-so power with another so-so power, though.

*Edit* - I feel like I need to do a science experiment where I find a set that genuinely benefits from JK. My guess is that it's in a controller set, somewhere, or a Blapper attack string.

Hell, I consider CoV and CoH's villains possibly more evil because of all the *implied* atrocities they commit.

"Did you really blow up a school bus of children"

*turns away, grinning*

"THE HELL WAS THAT!? DID YOU!?"

no u

*EDIT* - Assuming you can get over the weally big tuff words, of course.

It's a very viscous cycle isn't it? The good gets better because it's better, and the less gets worser (it's a word when I use it) because it's worse.
