I16: Super-Sidekicking Explained

I think some people need to step outside their realm of comfort and really understand that some people who pay subscription fees to this game really do enjoy powerleveling their characters.

Most of them would have preferred all through time to have had the option to set the team size as to have not bothered you, at all ever.

We are getting many great new features in Issue 16. But blatently dissing part of the playerbase because they play the game differently than you, is kinda harsh.

I am sorry you failed, at both attempting to be brilliant and proving your point.

Everyone plays this game for their own reasons. As long as they don't break the TOS/EULA then it is not for you or me to judge. We don't get to decide how other people play the game. We only decide for ourselves.

Your problem is you seem to be looking at what I am posting through anal goggles.

I am simply saying that what you think is right, is only right for you. You should stop trying to dictate how other people enjoy a game they pay for. As long as people are not breaking the TOS/EULA then your opinion doesnt really matter.

Allow people to do what they want, Stop worrying about it. You will be happier when you dont feel the need to dictate how others participate in this game.

Hey Disp, I KNOW this might be a hard concept for you to grasp but before you go Dissing the AE and all Boss maps you should, oh what is that word.

Try them.

I'm sick and tired of you self righting Jack Emmerts who demean a style of play "Oh takers aren't supose to be able to fight unbuffed! Blasters need to refuse healing, that's how Defiance is meant to be played! Boss Maps are Easy! Controlers were Never Meant to have multiple pets!"

And actually try it out, you know you might be surprised.

Get of your fricking high horse and try something before condeming anyone who disagrees with you. I LOATH PvP with a all consuming rage the likes if which Bruce Banner has never seen but you don't see me demonizing PvP because you know what?

I tried it, saw the skill involved in it and shut my damn trap.

Tell me Disp what are you so afraid of? Afraid you might like it? Come on we won't think less of you if you did.

And quite frankly until you have i'm putting you on ignore

so angry...

I have a question,

Since side kicking is automatic now, what happens if you're lvl 45-47 and you team with 50's does that mean your automatically sked to 49 as well? slowing down XP between those levels? Or am I completely off in my thought process about that?

Your leveling rate will remain the same - you'll notice that a Lv1 character sidekicked to... any level, really, still gains levels at the rate of a Lv1 {Lv2, then Lv3 etc} character. Sidekicking doesn't change the experience gain or the requirements for the next level - it simply lets you fight at a higher level.

All of our own expieriences in this game only matter to us, as individual account holders. What someone else does in this game is not our place to pass judgement on, as long as they dont break the TOS/EULA. It's just not our buissness.

Okay. Fair warning. Rant ahead.

I'm a reasonable man. I'm not asking for much, not often at least. I know that different people have different tastes and sometimes, frequently in fact, they want things that I don't want, even if I really want them not to. But, you know, that's how it is, live and live, make love not war, pointy end toward the enemy and so forth. You play by yourself and you're your own master and it's nobody, and I mean nobody's business to tell you how to play.

But when you're on a team - when you're on my team, your [mass] belongs to your teammates. I don't care if two passive primaries and every single secondary except taunt make your tank steamroll when he's solo, if you're not the first in the fight or if you're the last man standing when your team is sucking dirt, then you're worthless. Your controller is going to hold that sorcerer, heal whoever's hitpoints are below two thirds, slow or immobilize the meelee enemies, throw fortitude around, bubble, speed boost and O2. If you really want, you can stand around with healing aura on autofire, but you can do it outside.

You can play any way you want to. You can farm, exploit, power level and brag how you got your fifty in six hours. Really, you can. I won't mind. But if you join my team with your Lv50 right after standing in Atlas asking "where is Orbos" and "What are enhancements?" then don't think for a minute, for a split second, that I will have any pity on you. In the gospel of Uncle Ben, with great power comes great responsibility - but if the responsibility of merely knowing your backside from a hole in the ground that much of a burden then, to me, you have no right not to be talked down to at all.

An open letter to NCsoft

i think this is really cool, it will help A TON on taskforces, especially the phalanx TFs. although your guess as to how many people use bridges is waaay off, easily half the people i play with have alternate accounts just for the bridges ( i do haha ) which are going to be closed. i wont miss the all the filler and bridge spam though, really a good move.

i never complain about additions to the game the updates or "issues" add content and are FREE ( my favorite 4 letter word )

The Devs must have real-life "super idea powers". This is awesome.

Simply and outrageously awesome! Score one in the fight against PL'ers. And frankly, this is awesome, since now my friends can play whatever toon they want! Just the other day i was in a TF that was too low for my friend, she's 47 and wants to hit her first EVER 50 blueside. Now, it can all happen

Jay, I truly Love you. I'd offer to do you highly inappropriate favors, but .... statically speaking, there's only a 10% chance you'd like it :P
