I was a bit surprised tonight when folk said that the Rikti Raid had filled the zone. It came up with a 2nd instance but then wouldn't let people in.

I thought it would then come up with a third instance and so on.

Sync issue is happening so much lately that I have had to make a macro.

Fourthded ?

I have been having really bad issues with syncing lately, and had to actually bind /sync as it happens so much.i.e. it can take me 5 or 6 attempts to get off a boat, leave the station etc.

Now the US has this http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat....v=#Post13032545 so I fail to see how it can be my ISP as the tech support guys said after numerous tests.

That and it never happens on other games either.

I presume the US has different routing to us so maybe something should be sorted out as it never used to do this.

K seen it now.......when is I15?

Came across a new top in Baggy tops female called Witch Leather. (sorry no piccie as cant remember how to)

Just wondered if this is new, or came with a pack or is a mistake from pack to come?

Although the MA doesnt really hold anything for me, I was wondering if everyone has access to all the missions or is it split heroes and villains?

Just by default, most missions will likely be done from the heroes angle, so does that mean the villains will have less to do as not so many arcs? or can everyone do them all as long as the team is all the same?

Just wondered.

My other half was in Icon and thought it would be fun to stand with the models and log off there as if a model.

However, the job icon goes off at the sides of the room.

Yes, some bright spark decided that dayjobs only count if you stand where they want you to as well, rather than doing the sensible thing and just making it "inside" the building.

I am not totally sure, but the icon goes off in Wentys in certain spots too.

This means that just standing in the job place doesnt mean you get the badge as this character is now only half done whereas the others done at the same time are now complete.

Or they're giving us enough to whet our appetite but not enough so other people can steal ideas. From what i understand the MA is unique, and however much you may not like the fact there is still 'competition' who will steal ideas.
NcSoft have to find the right balance between letting us know whats going on but not giving too much away to other who might use it for their games.
Imho NcSoft manage this pretty well.

It just sounds like the ability to make missions, sort of like Neverwinter Nights, but without the ability at add player created maps, so basically it adds absolutely nothing new unless you like wading through player stories, which, for the most part, will probably suck, with an end boss who, judging by character cossies lately, will look like an ageing prostitute.

Firstly, I would like to say that it is sad to see you guys go, particularly Belenus who i have always had a great deal of respect and time for, and can even remember when we first met ingame.

Good luck guys with whatever you move onto.

I agree with some of what was said, though at the moment I am happy to continue, hoping things improve.

Secondly, I find it really sad that this thread has not only been hijacked by GG and her inane insipid comments yet again, but has now descended into a bitchfest yet again.

Can we not just say sad to see you guys go and leave it at that just for once?

Ah okay thanks, sorry didnt see it

Hi Folks

I wondered if anyone can help me to find a way to get my chat channels to stay the colour I change them to.

I have tried all the save options, but whenever I zone they change right back to the default again.

I presume there must be a way as this was only introduced recently.

I would be really interested to see what ATs the PVPers who dont like the changes are.

It seems to me that people playing the squishier ATs like the changes as they live a little longer, but the tougher ATs dont as they can no longer one shot things.

Have you actually been into a pvp zone since i13, because they are empty, EMPTY as in no one there, at least before there was a few regulars, where are all these new people enjoying pvp you keep on about?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes I have, and enjoyed it, though admittedly not all the time as they are very quiet, but by the same token, they were before I13 too, though some people like pretending it was busy before.

Just because my view does not agree with yours, then obviously in your eyes it must be that I dont understand the changes.

[/ QUOTE ]

And just because the pvp community that obviously quit by judging these changes as bad is according to you blind and of course you know best.Its people like you why such [censored] changes were implemented to this game in first place.Using some seal that pre tarnishes people with some brush to prevent any disagreement with you wont help you much.

And while indeed just cause you were not there every night doesnt make your arguement less valid it doesnt make it right either.

[ QUOTE ]
It is people like you that gives PVP and PVPers a bad name.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah because anyone that dares to argue against you must be trashed immediatelly by using the PvP brush and the usual arguement. /golfclap


[/ QUOTE ]

Well, sorry that you feel that way, but I have stuck with it and enjoy the game and the changes, not like some people who left and only come back to claim that the world has ended.

You have an entrenched view and nothing will change that, at least I am openminded to the changes.

And as for the PVP community quitting, it cant be that many as they are obviously still very vocal on here.

[ QUOTE ]
Right let me explain you something.The one that is blind is not the PvP community.You know why?Cause while you dont have a clue how these changes impact PvP a seasoned PvPer knows exactly what these changes mean.They know that this is just a spit in the face to all the hardwork to contribute to a huge [censored] list that was detailing exactly what was needed to spark pvp even more.And instead this was delivered.Now while you may not know what PvP mechanics/tactics/strategies exist and what are the norms in relation to other PvP games we do.So you are the blind here and not PvP community.

[ QUOTE ]
I welcome the changes and will doubtless get bawled out by the same few people who refuse to accept it and have a go at anyone who dares to disagree with them.

[/ QUOTE ]

All good for you but yeah you will get bawled at least from me because first of all you call blind the people that can see better than you how these changes impact their area of the game.

Well, first of all, I enjoy PVPing and just because I am not there every night, it doesnt make my point any less valid than yours. In fact the thread was aimed at casual PVpers, so if you are as hardcore as you like to think you are, then this thread was not asking for your opinion anyway.

I do understand the changes, and your post actually validates what I said. Just because my view does not agree with yours, then obviously in your eyes it must be that I dont understand the changes.

Well how condescending are you?

It is people like you that gives PVP and PVPers a bad name.

Sorry if I sounded grumpy but sometimes the negativity gets to me

I dont have a scrapper or tank, so I cant answer for that side of things, but my alts now at least have a bit of fun before they die.

For example, Aeryn has Ice, and pre I13, her Ice Block was pointless, it never hit and I may as well have gotten rid of it. Now, at least it can hit, even if the hold is only short, but the point is that it makes her last a bit longer before she faceplants. It hasnt made her uber against other types or anything, but at least I can have a bit of fun before death.

The same goes for my other alts, they can enjoy a bit of PVP before the inevitable hospital run. Pre I13, Spine scrappers and the like would kill my alts so quickly that Rest wouldnt be back between deaths.

I must admit, I am not keen on the Diminished Returns aspect, as for example with Chakyra, my thermal, that gets rid of her only defences.

But on the whole, I see the changes as positive and obviously still a work in progress.

All the screaming just reminds me of the doom threads after ED and that was for the better IMO too.

He is not. I've been told by plenty that they enjoy the new PvP system. And even some who dislike PvP are thinking of giving it a go.


[/ QUOTE ]

Giving it a go for 5 minutes and doing it regularly are different things.

[ QUOTE ]
But it seems to be drawing in new and old PvPers, and that can only be a good thing.


[/ QUOTE ]

PvP is now more dead than it's ever been.

[/ QUOTE ]

Being condescending to people who are not you, is hardly going to bring in new people.

You also seem to forget that PVP was dead before these changes too.

Well I have to disagree with some of what you said, Scarlet. In particular, I feel issue 13 is a step in the right direction.

For what its worth, this is what would tempt me:

1. Arena option "Disable invetion bonuses". That means I can have a cheap PvP second build without fartarsing about farmiing to be viable. This is a fairly straightforward intervention.

2. Phase Shift. (and other escape powers). Nerf them to the point of complete uselessness please.

3. Offensive Toggles. Make me laugh. Now you these get detoggled every 3 or 4 seconds it makes things like radiation infection useless. Supress them, dont detoggle.

4. Buff the effects of AoE powers by 50% stat.

5. Buff the effects of placable AoEs by 100%

6. PVP community attitude replacement.

There, that lot will help.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok well thanks for the comments. I've got to say you're the first person to say that I'm aware of, that I13 is a good start.

I think your option 1 doesn't then mean you can be the best you can be. It's ok from a skill POV... but you reduce the build to SOs.

I've not experiened "escape toggles" as a huge thing (to my knowledge) but if it's in PVE, then shouldn't it be in PVP?

3) Agreed.

4 & 5) why? you've not explained that.

6) unworthy of comment. I think to be fair the PVP "community" have not been heard and so their "attitude" is fairly understandable. They pay their subs like everyone else and their percentage of teh game gets less love than most - and when it gets attention they feel it's negative, rather than beneficial.

I'd add to that that since I got into PVP in about I7, the whole thing's got worse from my own experience, not better until it's now dead on its feet.

[/ QUOTE ]

FYI, he isnt the only one to say that I13 is a good start, I have said it before and so have some others.

Unfortunately, some PVPers seem to go temporarily blind when it comes to other people not agreeing that I13 is all doom and gloom and that "everyone" hates it.

It IS a good start, putting things back to before I13 just means its still as knackered as it was.

I welcome the changes and will doubtless get bawled out by the same few people who refuse to accept it and have a go at anyone who dares to disagree with them.

I have lost defiant Events and some others but global is okay.

The healing suppression imo is hardly noticable.

[/ QUOTE ]

Absolute rubbish....you must be on about a regen or something, which they actually put back, as all healer types are hugely hit by this.

Maybe actually "read" what is "written" SteelRat instaed of "lecturing" on what you "THINK" is written.

[/ QUOTE ]

Steelrat has actually apologised and you are still having a go.

Perhaps people like you are the reason some people dont use forums that much.

Just logged in and my corruptor had 6 minutes worth of tp, and I am logging in at the auction house anyway.

Anyone know what the default folder was for the old version? as it looks like it has deleted all of my builds (

Phew, dont worry found them

Yay for the new version ))
