ROFL!
I have to remember to save my posts before throwing them away here...
I posted a National Lampoon-worthy satire of parenting according to the gimps and nerfs inflicted on CoH/CoV players, but apparently it was deleted... oh well.

It probably has more to do with it not being even close to on topic, not even pretending to be. Nah, they were obviously afraid of your humor!
[/ QUOTE ]
Shucks, it's not my humor they are afraid of, it's how many people agree with my reasoning and how well I express my arguments. And my humility! I have WAY more humility than ANYBODY else! 
Plus there's that whole "truth" thing that seems to get them all in a tizzy.
Actually, though, regarding the Lost Gem; it was a helpful post inspired by several folks' congratulations in this thread on the birth of Statesbaby. And in fact, it had everything to do with the "Two Things" first mentioned as they are indicative of overall chnages to the game. So at worst, it was a sidebar.
Alas, had you been allowed to read it, you would probably understand the situation better; you weren't, so it's not your fault you don't know what you're talking about. No matter; there'll be more and similar posts in the future. I'm not going anywhere.
At least, not until somebody else publishes a superhero MMO that actually lets us play like superheroes.
Then we'll see.

HELP SAVE THIS GAME!
If we can save this game, I promise I will never complain about Travel Power Suppression again! You have my word on it!

1. We're looking into the tweak to Endurance for mobs that's affected Endurance Drain abilities. Sorry about that!

2. We'll be putting in a check that prevents "one shotting"; if anything occurs within a fraction of second that brings a player from 100% Hit Points down to 0, we instead give the player 1% Hit Points.
That's all for now.

This I don't like nearly as much. I'd much rather a Stalker kill me than that nearby mob. Humiliation is better than debt anyday in my book.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah that is another negative in this. Opens up a whole new book to griefing. Tp foe into mob and AS then let mob kill and you get debt.
Maybe I misunderstood, but it sounded like the one-shot code prevents you from losing more than 99% of your (max) HP in one tick.
So, if you're at 992/1000 HP, and one-or-more attacks totalling 1500 damage hit you in a single server tick, you are left at 3 HP.
Is this how it will work, or is optimism coloring my interpretation of the original post?

Wrong sorry, 1000 hit points at max will leave you at 10 hp. 1000 hp max while having 999 when the one shot comes in you die.
Even that said, there is no fix in here for the two shotting of most of the other ATs that survived the first shot. They get no benefit because they were able to survive it. There's still not enough reaction time.
This is a bad quick fix for one shotting of half the ATs.
1% of 1000 is 10 hp. 10 hp is like a kick, brawl.. etc. Not much. If they get off AS, placate and then brawl. Well hi, you're down in three and had no chance even to react other than to try to superjump, superspeed, fly etc away.
Fight them? Who actually fights a stalker that doesn't have perception enough to always see them?
Everytime a stalker comes after my BS/Regen I have time enough to target them sometimes after they hit me, they flee, I get off buildup and headsplitter. I see them fall to the ground, I run to go get off another hit, but by then I've been placated and they're away scott free, able to reattack me, without my being able to ever target them again. By this time I've already used either Reconstruction or Dull Pain or both, depending on what else they had gotten in.

You are never going to find any employee that actually gives a sh*t about you complaining, Living.
[/ QUOTE ]
Then just say that. It's all I'm saying. _Castle_ basically said it in this thread about one shotting Stalkers and the like with "None, as none was warranted" or something to that effect. Basically, "It's fine, we're not changing it, bugger off."
No equivocation. No excuses. No problem.
[ QUOTE ]
But at what point does anger over poor service turn into harassment? I think EG changing her name to EvilGeko and continuing a vendetta on for 4+ issues does. I think you continue to post about how Castle is the "only good one" is.
[/ QUOTE ]
I find it difficult to believe that all they need to do is close their browser. I'm not seeking them out to torment them, showing up at their houses and calling them late at night. Lord knows I'm not impeding their work.
[ QUOTE ]
Great for you, you have an opinion. I have one, too. But I don't reply to the devs like a 4 year old with mine.
[/ QUOTE ]
That's because your opinion is their opinion. Therefore, you reply to my opinions like a 4 year old.
[ QUOTE ]
Yet you care enough about them personally to hate Statesman and label Castle the "good one."
[/ QUOTE ]
I never said I "hate" Statesman! What are you on? I don't liek the way he does his job, but I don't even know the man. What the hell is the matter with you?
[ QUOTE ]
But, who cares. You've long since worn out your welcome on these boards. I welcome the nerf that finally pushes you over the edge to quitting.
[/ QUOTE ]
If you would take your head out of your butt for 10 seconds you'd realize it's not necessarly the nerfs themselves that bother me, but you're too busy rushing to the defense of those who need none to recognize that.
[/ QUOTE ]
while reading this fourm this quote makes me think, The Game of our lives.
anyways i welcome both changes, i rather be 2 shotted as a blaster than one
as a electric energy blaster that uses end drain as def ill be happy if ANY improvement is made from the current live set hits.
as my opinion as the devs, they do the best they can to make a good game, which it is, and pay their bills, which i hope they do.
rember guys yes this is for money and they put time sinks into the game to keep people paying and add content to keep people playing not because they are evil overlords, but because they have to feed their families.
I actually like one-shotting. But...it should work like it does with npcs - we can one-shot characters that are multiple levels below us, so it should do the same for other heroes/villains. I know this'll mean that a level 50 can one-shot my 21 scrapper. Stinks, but I do think Thor should smash Rocket Boy or Mustard Man in one shot too. Iron Man, or Captain America, probably not.

If you are standing still.. it will not help. You are right.
If you are moving. You will be a few (100) yards out of melee range when the AS resolves. So the Brawl can never connect.

Hmm.. except in any PvP zone I know of, you are automatically exemplared to the same level as everyone else. So if you're Thor then you'll be fighting Dr. Doom, or Loki. Mustard Man or Rocket Boy won't even be on your radar.
And why Thor would want to one shot Captain America or Iron Man troubles me...

my check had always been a few lucks, or sturdys. Its probably not going to make a big deal. like someone said about "dont let the name fool you" post.
ok for instance. lets say, my tanker has 2000HP w/ Earths Embrace on. if a stalker chews 10 reds, 10 acc, (well, enuff to 1 shot me if possible) ASed me, i would be left with 20hp, possibly stunned and toggled, cos of the EM foty, and dead anyhow.
no worries, just Ego fretting for stalkers.

I'd have to say that your sense of humor, reasoning, and rhetorical style are all things to be afraid of. Perhaps not for the reasons you wish them to be.

The other thing I wanted to say about that, is that I don't buy when developers claim that us mean posters hurt their feeling and make them not want to talk with us. The developers have the control. Their input has much more force than any poster. I'm sorry but suck it up. This is the only service industry where client service is thought to be optional.

Err, untrue. Just off the top of my head, comic book preofessionals encounter this same level of attention, just not every one of them. Bendis mildly encourages douchebaggery on his website for the entertainment value of it.
(You could nitpick and say that comics professionals provide a product and not a service, but I would argue that A) it's splitting a very fine hair, and B) tell that to comics retailers and people who actually subscribe directly to the companies themselves. )
[ QUOTE ]
The conspiracy theories and personal vendettas against developers of this game are childish. Please grow up.

Agreed, with the stipulation that there are some theories that hold water better than the official company line. Not all theories labelled as 'conspiracy' are equally deranged or self-serving.

What about DoT caused by that one attack?
[/ QUOTE ]
He already answered that. "In a fraction of a second..."
Basically... that 1% hp leaveover is your chance to heal yourself or get healed.
HOWEVER... even a tank with 2500 hp would only have 25 hp left... wouldn't take much for a DoT to drop them in a second or two.
[ QUOTE ]
One question....is the code that makes Sprinting down a hill too quickly causing dmg going to be taken out then? Or the SJ/CJ that ends =>1 ft below your start point doing dmg? Because those will basically make the One-shotting code useless.
[/ QUOTE ]
I bugged that the first day I was in beta - I was so proud of myself finding what I thought was a egregious error. Then I found out it had been bugged since day one of the beta. And it has never been fixed. I always laugh when it happens to me nowadays.
This bug might be exploitable by Stalkers with nothing better to do - hang around slopes waiting for unwary sprinters and then try to AS them before the healing ticks them back up to full.
