Personally I plan to start some villain and hero ATs in Praetoria and then take them to each to the content I haven't played with the AT yet. I'm looking forward to it.


Work in progress no more. I have decided that I'm going to put my worst spelling errors here. Triage Bacon, Had this baster idea, TLR

Except side-switching, which starts at 20.

And the new end-game system.

But nobody cares about those.

EDIT: I just noticed that the OP has a join date 2 months before me, meaning that he started BEFORE I did. How the heck could he think that "XP has been nerfed", considering the two XP adjustments, one debt adjustment, AND the introduction of Patrol XP, just in the time since I started, let alone any earlier changes?

There's nothing wrong with masturbation for the purpose of Dinosaur extinction. Cavemen discovered the fap before fire, and Velociraptors would STILL be running around if they hadn't.

By including that phrase, you've pretty much invalidated anything of value you may have had to say.

Meanwhile, debt has been turned into an almost vestigial game mechanic, the leveling curve has been smoothed, Patrol XP and the Law Enforcer/Arachnos Agent Day Jobs yield XP bonuses, and we get several Double XP Weekends every year.

So yes, this game does have some challenges (and some people have managed to trivialize even those), but it's pretty easy to actually level unless you're an AE baby who got used to leveling a character to 50 in 3 hours.

I bolded the problem.

Just because his forum registry says he's been here 3 years doesn't necessarily mean it's true. He may not have been here the whole time.......or he may have acquired someone else's account.

Great minds... I almost posted "Troll is troll."

At least one glaring inaccuracy in every sentence was my first clue.

Not seen any. I know the devs are causing a drop in XP in AE if you use allies, and there are stories that the XP drop can be substantial, but there has been no nerf to the amount of XP granted by foes.

Quote:
Since no one is playing why make it harder for the ones that are here, why nerf the xp and why nerf the drops.
As I type this, there are 4088 people on these forums. Being really pessimistic and saying that forumgoers make up 15% of the player population and that no one new will log on to the forums, and that the number of players is static, that works out at 27,253 players online right now. Yeah, that's "no one is playing". Suuuuuure.

Quote:
I would think that making it easier for the ones that are playing and the drops would encourage new 50s and make it a stronger player base for when GR hits.
Not sure how being at 50 when GR hits will be an advantage. This game has always been about "getting there" not "being there".

Quote:
Even more so since i17 has nothing at all in it except 2 arcs and a new posi which is just a similar posi kinda updated.
That's 2 new arcs per side, plus two new TF's, since the old one can still be run via Ouroboros, plus a massive graphics upgrade, costume items, UI upgrades, ah, heck, go read the I17 features list.

Quote:
why not reward people for staying with the game and make it easier for the ones still playing instead of harder which only makes people go to other games?
Ever heard of Veteran Rewards? Trust me, they make it easier for long-term players. If you don't believe me, roll a new Empathy/Rad defender and don't claim any of them, don't gift yourself inf, don't use any of the perk packs you may have bought and solo until you hit the Hollows. Go see how easy the game is for a "new player".

Quote:
i think its another case of the devs diconnect with player base
Our devs are brilliantly informative, friendly, and listen to the players. But they also have a duty to avoid losing all of their players, and I will tell you this for free - the instant everyone thinks they've "done everything" in CoH, we will all walk to other games. Keeping things balanced is not easy, but it is essential.

Further, it's better to smack something too hard with the nerfbat and then "rebalance" by making it less detrimental to the players than it is to do the nerfing in tiny little increments.

There was so much fail in the original post. It's hilarious.
