On anoter note, I just got done watching Jim Gaffigan's new special "Beyond the Pale" on Netflix. He's a horrible, horrible, genius. Somehow both horrible and genius at the same time. I've never seen his equal in this regard.

Two reasons:

1. I'm not #1 anymore
2. The whole system has been proven to be a joke anyway, with 7 of the top 10 (now 11) having participated actively in the shameful "Raise the Rep" thread.

I believe that by turning off my rep, I was actually giving it more credit than it deserves. So the best way to REALLY ignore is to just ignore it entirely. By having the "hide rep" option on at all, I had to acknowledge it. I choose not to acknowledge it any longer after this post.

So I'll be turning mine back on now and ignoring it completely from here on out. Won't even mention it again.




Now I just can't wait to see what people think of this action. Here are my guesses, in order:

1. It was all just a ploy for him to get attention
2. All Hail UniqueDragon!
3. It was all just a ploy for him to get rep
4. It makes no sense for him to "ignore" rep by turning it on, he's a tard.
5. Why's he making another list, does he think he's Steelclaw or something?

Now just reread the list with Jim Gaffigan's "whiny" voice. It makes it 10 times better!

HUH? What does that mean, you mean you were looking for the "reset to defaults" button?

What were you looking for?

/JRanger.

Why? Because I don't need hitpoints. I have Personal Force Field, Repulsion Field, Dispersion Bubbles, AND the epic armors, so I'm just fine.

Of course, I only speak for myself though.

You know what WOULD be a fun and wild and crazy idea? You know how only the "stupid" or "crazy" defenders (like me) take their nukes? I say we make their damage equal to Blaster nukes. But JUST the nukes, all other Defender damage stays the same.... wouldn't that make things more.... interesting? Hehehe.

See that's the thing though, I have no problem with Corrupters. They really are the mirror to Defenders in my opinion, and I think that they are "equal" to Defenders. More damage, yes, but still lower buff numbers. Fair is fair.

Controllers, in my opinion, are the ONLY nail that's sticking out of the board. And you can see that if you just look at the population.

i hav no idea wur ur talkin bout so herez a bunny wit a pancake on its hed:

In short, if things were in balance, then the AT populations at the end game would be in rough balance as well. Instead, they are extremely skewed, which means that something is wrong.

And yes I don't look at numbers, and yes I look at FEEL. Why do I do this? Because I'm human, not a machine. If it "feels" fine to me, then it IS fine to me. And Controllers feel overpowered to me compared to every other AT, not JUST Defenders. There is a good reason why Controllers outnumber every other AT at level 50 every time I search for teammates by a factor of at least 3.

Thugs/FF mastermind to 23, Fire/Dark Corruptor to 32, and I have a Grav/FF controller to 19.

Which, while not 50s, it should also be noted that many, many players don't even have one 50. I've played them enough to know how I feel about them. And by comparison to Defenders, it seems to me like they are all generally okay. None that much more powerful than the others.

The only difference is Controllers having control abilities on top of having nearly identical "functional" abilities to Defenders.

Broken record much T_S?

Oh look, Turbo is posting again in the Defender boards about how Defenders suck.

dooo eeet ALL NIGHT LONG!

Actually, jam and jelly are two entirely separate things.

Honestly Coyote, you don't have to hate the star... the team will really lead themselves in combat, they're like rabid angry dogs that just need to be pointed in the right direction.

A team leader's job is just to point them in that direction, and say "kill". That's what picking missions is.

Then if they happen to end up running across a bigger dog, then you tell them to "heel" or "run!"

Seriously, once you pick a mission, teams run themselves for the most part. You just have to pick a mission every 15 minutes or so.

Coyote, what has changed is experience. People have learned (for the most part) that they don't NEED any specific "type" of character to have a successful team. In fact, I've proven that time and again personally. Take a look at my signature for my guide on PuG TFs and consider becoming a LEADER of your own teams, it's not really as hard as it seems, and then you'll always be "desired" on a team no matter what you play.

There is a HUGE desire out there in City of Wallflowers for someone to come by and offer people to dance. Literally hundreds of people standing next to each other in line waiting, never thinking to look right next to them.

Like me, you can be that person that grabs 7 of those wallflowers' hands and starts an orgy. It's a lot of fun.

And Defenders tend to make the best and smartest leaders of them all. That's why we get the best buffs from Leadership, the devs know.

They were always bugged anyways. I actually tested it once, spent an hour killing and counting Hellions, my count was twice the "high" number, and I wasn't even on the list, it didn't change at all in fact. I think that data was populated at some point, then they realized that they were never used and stopped collecting the data, leaving a freeze frame until they finally took them out entirely.

Well garsh.... i dun understand all that fancy sciency talk. u-hyuk!
