It's not something I do a lot of, but the fishing in Torchlight (where you can haul in actual useful stuff) is a lot of fun! Adding something like that to CoH would be a pleasant diversion.

Vehicles first please!

EDIT: Actually scratch that, animal skeletons first please.


Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!

It's not really a mechanic that makes sense in City of Heroes, though. Both in that it doesn't mesh with the general playstyle, and also because it really isn't part of the Superhero/villain mythos. Closest we could come is a fisherman day job.

Ok, now that my eyes are finished bleeding, I'm going to try to translate this:

Why does everyone think I am disappointed at the devs? I may feel they are slacking, but hey, it's their game, not mine. Last time I checked I still pay to play. My thoughts are things I think it would be nice to see. But still, all in all, who cares? I play because of friends I have had here for over 4 years. That alone is what keeps me: an online family.

And really, how are you guys positive when you tell someone, "We understand, but your point sucks" (Not you, Vega)? But in general, I think that if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything. You should add your point of view, not put down someone else's. Of course, in this case you were asking if I responded to the post correctly. It was the "be positive" afterwards that caught me; I didn't see anything negative. These are points of view only; I still couldn't care less.
Dear god, the punctuation massacre alone was horrific.

Wow. The pain you have endured for our benefit is impressive, Frecks.

SuperiorBlingzors: If you go back and read the original topic, he was asking for ways as a player to make the game more interesting for himself, not for a list of things the devs should do. There's an entire "Suggestion" forum for the purpose of suggesting ideas to the devs.

1. the auto sk/lcky killed us i think majority of us play for fun just want to lvl fast try a build n move on why they nerfed ae after we havent seen numbers like that playing since forever ago i dont know because of the few crying over noobs not learning SO WHAT teach em

2. forum is flooded with ideas they barely ever use like they think they will get sued

3. maintenance aggro made lots leave

4. where is creative missions fighting near a spewing volcano,on clouds , in swamps, during thunder storm etc...

5. emotes of fishing but cant fish i would love to fish for insp,io's, badges , outfits, n fish that are a new salvage for crafting.

6. add bus stops that can take u to mission doors to eliminate the city to city run around just to talk

7. im rich on all toons but be nice to have an account that all my toons can share the wealth like have a real reason for banks n when u fail a bank job its your money that loses 10% lol

8. why does ww or bm have a charge for everything i didnt know the devs needed that money too lol get rid of that they want to have an itchy finger over the nerf button nerf that devs

9. 1 new power not recycled or reused for every release it will def. keep us busy trying something completely new kinda like crab spiders release we all had 1 or was getting a 50 to try it

10. make lots of new io's some that u can have as many of the same bonus as u can get only they break and work half way when broken like u only get the bonus of set of 2 instead of 6 if it breaks from too many battles and the bonus cuts n half, if it was 2 recovery bonus now its 1 because it broke.

11. Add elementary schools for vets to sign n to teach a noob, for io bonuses noobs sign up to learn n get an i got it badge lol take em around n show them the ropes for a couple of hours like signing onto a tf

12. and last for devs to not just read the ideas from the forums but try them out add they 're own stuff to make it realistic n release it on the game i once read someone saying a whip would be nice sure we have other stuff like it but hey they released earth assault like we havnt seen that why couldnt we got a whip power boring but at least it wouldve been new not recycled and yepp i sure wouldve tried it lol


have fun guys i will never quit prolly will be one of the last on saying on forums look at what u did devs now what our game has no competition we too busy beating up ourselves
...wut?!

Seriously, what are you smoking?!

I don't think it's these points that are ruining CoH for you. I believe you want to be playing some other game...like, WoW or something. You just seem to think every aspect of CoH is silly.

Of course, I could've misunderstood your points entirely. But in my defense...you really need to either stay off the keyboard or the booze...or whatever it is you're smoking.

Use Dice, roll a D8 for AT (reroll an 8) and a D6 for origin. Then roll an apropriate die for the primary and secondary power sets (at the number of choices vary from AT to AT). And there you hsve your random toon, done it a few times myself!

No. This has never been, isn't, and never will be true.



The game still rocks. Getting teams isn't any harder than it ever has been, you're just having bad luck/timing lately.

Try getting into a good SG/Coalition so that you don't have to rely on PuGs for teaming.

This...think about how long you play/have played some of your other PC games before shelving them for a while. 10 hours? 25 hours? 50?

Now, how long have you been playing CoH? 2 months? A year? 2 years?!? *points to Join Date* 4 FREAKIN' YEARS?!?


Almost EVERYONE takes a break from time to time. I'm in one right now, as I've been playing Mount & Blade pretty much non-stop since I got it 10 days ago.

So set CoX aside, and when you come back, you'll hear that intro music at the Login splash screen and get all excited again, just like you used to! And find there are new ways to play and enjoy, thanks to the constant updates (issues), tweaks, and changes.

omg again read whole forum before adding your cents. I never said anything ruined CoH for me. Pay attention I said I can care less. I play cause of peeps I play with.

Why is it that all your posts start all nicely with proper grammar and spelling, and just gradually, in a very steady pace, they turn into troll-speak?!

This really puzzles me...

Superadine's a hell of a drug.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I roleplay, personally. It makes things a bit more interesting, especially if you make a toon that is purposely the opposite moral alignment of it's side. (Though playing things straight red or blue is just as fun)

It encourages socialization, can lead to some awesome stories, and it forces you to look at the game in a new way.

Challenges make this game interesting, for me.

I got bored once, and made a petless Mastermind. He's 50 now, and actually was alot of fun.

I'm thinking about trying to find something worse next... Hmm.. Like a Dual Blades/Energy Aura Stalker. *shiver*

I think you'll find that the Weaken and Sweep combos both go very nicely with Energy Aura, as does the AS Demoralize effect.

And of course you'll be very pretty.

Looking at the new patch on Test, I have a suggestion - play through the Hollows again, but only use walk as your travel power.
