Hello, my first Defender ArticQuark co-founded the all-defender SG on Triumph in the fall of 2004. I have always looked at Repeat Offenders with fondness and a tad of envy. Our crew never blossomed as far as RO but we did get 5 related SGs in a coalition.
Today some players were reminiscing between beating up clockwork on a long Synapse TF (nothing like the record 7 hour ordeal of the long long ago). I brought up the all defender concept as one of the most fun things I had done on City of Heroes. The brute started laughing and talking about no damage and nine hours task forces. Some people supported my/our position. The sad thing was after 8+ years, people are still so ignorant about defenders and teams that don't follow the holy trinity. I shake my head in grief.
Sorry it took so long to see this Psylenz. As I try to work on my last two alts before the game closes, I have been in many PUGs and yes unfortunately there are many who do not understand the might of Defenders and Controllers. Still plenty of "healers" out there, but I do think that the Defender forum and many of the all Defender/Controller teams out there, really showed what those awesome ATs could do.
I know I've been spoiled by having an AT that did not fall into the holy trinity of MMOs. I will sorely miss my beloved Kinetics with a passion. I don't think I'll ever find a powerset that allowed me continuous unsuppressed speed.
I will miss this game a lot and I will miss that we won't be able to introduce COH players to the power of the Defender.
