Or is that the point--merely to keep the kiddies in a secluded playpen while they argue their hearts out?

Pretty much.

And, to make you Angry of course.

I don't know about you B_I, but I play as if no one else is responsible for keeping me alive but myself. That means I BUILD for self-survival, even on my squishies, and if I need to run, I run. If someone else helps to keep me alive, then it usually means that I failed to.... because I was watching TV at the same time or something.

If I'm fully aware and concentrating on what's going on and I die, it's because I was one-shot or hit with a DoT that kills me even after I've gotten out of combat. Most of your rant doesn't apply to me or my playstyle.

Inspirations flow like candy in this game, but if you are RELYING on them, you're doing something wrong. If you're RELYING on heals, you're doing something wrong.

I keep a full tray of inspirations - 1. Once it fills, I use up an "offensive" skittle (red or yellow) to make room for more. Eventually, my tray is filled with nothing but defensive skittles. then I start combining them over time to make more offensive skittles, but always making sure to wait until I'm full before I do so.

It works out well for me, and guess what? It means I almost never need outside assistance. When I run into trouble, I just use a couple of those defensive ones that seem to build up.

After playing my latest character as a Tanker for 30 levels and then remaking him as a Scrapper for 30 levels, and 5 years worth of squishy experience, I can safely say that I now see all my teammates as being nothing more than extra damage to add to my kill.

I would hope that everyone else plays the same way, but hey, we can't all be perfect, like me.

Yes. But it's really not the best way to reach them since they only bring those out for special occassions. It's best just to contact them via out-game e-mail/support/etc.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The game would be so much less obtuse if people used Critter instead of Mob.

tl;dr

Now it's time to go talk to corporate, direct workflow, promote synergy...

It means you're the deity of Philosophy of course.

Who needs heals? Green inspirations are cheap to buy, and if you don't have any, you can make some by combining. Heck, they're dropping all the time as long as long as you leave a spot open.

Who needs accuracy enhancements? Yellow inspirations are cheap to buy, and if you don't have any, you can make some by combining. Heck, they're dropping all the time as long as long [EFFIN SICK of SICCING... OI!] as you leave a spot open.

Man! Lets just allow the inspirations to play the game for us. Nevermind that silly thing known as common bloody sense that may or may not be telling us that keeping green insps stocked reduces your supply of other insps; ergo, someone with a heal power may just be slightly beneficial.

It can turn players into gods, no other set can do it like Empathy can.

lol

[ QUOTE ]
but I feel fundamentally useless besides that. Like even activating my secondaries is a end waste.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is the key that shows that it's all in the OP's head. I do X damage and X damage is less than Y damage, thus I feel useless.

That's like equating 100 to 0 because 150 is more.

how do i stop posts sometimes when i post on different forums i cant get them to stop when the question has been answered

[/ QUOTE ]

The only way is to request a moderator to "lock" the thread, and that could take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours depending on when the moderator is next online. Here is a link to our favorite moderator's profile, you can send him a private message from there.

One final bit of advice, learn how to properly capitalize and punctuate your sentences, otherwise people might make fun of you in the future, and no one wants that!

Per Red Tomax:

Shockwave, at level 50 with 95% damage boost, does 128 points of damage on a Scrapper.

Proton Volley, at level 50 with 95% damage boost, does 195 points on a Defender. Without taking Aim or resistance reduction into account.

Were you perhaps thinking of some other Claws attack?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, they were thinking of Shockwave. Reading the OP many times, it's entirely psychological.

[ QUOTE ]
You'll get along famously with the folks in the Defender forums, I can tell.

Cause God hates you, that's why.

The Urban Dictionary's definition of "Altoholic"

Seems there's a bit of discrepancy in the definition. Maybe it might help to develop a contrasting veiw.

What's the opposite of an "altoholic" and what would you call such a person?

[/ QUOTE ]Someone who focuses exclusively on one or two characters (in the case of two, generally one from each side). The term for them is Mainalomaniac.

[/ QUOTE ]I like that!

[/ QUOTE ]

Good, because I coined the term. Well.... helped to coin it. I described my own playstyle and asked others what to call it in opposition to altoholism. Someone suggested Megamainalomania. I shortened it.

New to City of Heroes. Any good?

I'm just gonna steal from Nike here....


COH: Just Play It

Then you'll know, and knowing's half the battle. G.I. JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEE!

I know half the people here will be rolling their eyes at this, but....

Force Fields. If you're planning on being the only Defender on an 8-man team, and you expect to keep the whole team alive all the time "easily", then Force Fields has the simple mitigation that will do that for you.

You buff the team, make them into Gods and then either play around with your other toys or blast [censored] in the face the rest of the time.
