I just wish the devs could read the right forum posts. I happen to blame a lot of the crap that's come out recently on the forums.
I enjoy gr, I still dislike it as a whole, but I enjoy it.

Nothing makes the game harder. It just limited slotting/power choices on min/max builds. I really want to see the toons I can make now, it's going to be too easy :\
I used to think it was dumb, but now I could enjoy dr in pve. |
I...it....

GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

Without the quote; define 'right'. Because I can guarentee someone else will disagree with that one person will call 'right'.

About the fitness pool being made inherent: I don't see how it's necessary honestly. We won't be getting any more slots for those power picks we're freeing up.
|
- New players don't know they will need to take stamina and don't have veteren respecs either.
- Fitness powers, especially swift and health are extremely boring and while Vets might be used to it, its not good for the game to have such choices. Every choice a player makes should be exciting.
Which means I'll be spending those three saved power picks on filler like Super Speed. |
[quote]Second, I predict Stamina will inherently unlock at 20, which won't do anything to speed up gameplay in the early levels of the game. [quote]
This isn't known yet, if they are making it inherent they could easily add it at 10, or 15. If I was advising them, I would advise them to just that.
And if making the Fitness pool inherent means that it either can't be slotted (doubtful) or that the effectiveness of the powers is decreased, no thanks. You take your inherent Fitness and shove it you-know-where. |
Don't panic! :-)

The forums create a new kinds of bad suggestions, that the devs actually follow. I'm sorry, but fitness as an inherent....

Eh, i don't see Fitness as necessary, but i will admit that most of my alts do end up taking it. As long as they're still slottable i'll manage to cope with Fitness powers becoming inherents.
Any news about the emote pack or tweaks to Gravity Control and Trick Arrows? <.<

I just don't thinking listening to people who don't know how to play the game, benefits anyone. I wish they'd listen to pvper's, I wish they'd listen to base builders.... or even badgers.

The "right forum posts" being any that you agree with?

I'd love a grav change (non emote), and lolta.

You keep repeating the same line but aren't reading the counterpoints offered. I have stated twice already that one of the main reasons is obviously to help new players who don't realise they will most likely need stamina. I ain't going to rewrite my whole post for you though.

New players don't know that travel can be easy either, inherent travel powers. Or that they can be non-squishy, inherent fighting powers.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and call i20 for Christmas.
If it enters closed beta next week it should be -possible- if not probable that it'll hit before New Years. If it manages that herculean task, 2010 will go down in the annals of MMO history as the best year ever for CoH.

The thing about the Fitness pool is that it's super super boring. Every other pool gives me something I can use - a click or a toggle - that does something interesting. The Fitness pool just enhances my base stats passively. Not very exciting. Getting to level 20 and thinking, "I have to take Stamina," makes me not excited about getting to level 20. Taking any other power from any other pool does. So I think there's more than one reason to make it inherent.
|
I'm very curious to see if taking Fitness out of the equation will lead to more interesting builds coming up. I know it seems like I'm a freak sometimes because I've got a Blaster with Presence
Geez... I'd love to see more Power Pools (if they were good additions, mind you) to help mix things up further.

I think you are grasping at straws with that comparison to Stamina.

Just wish the pvp concerns could be fixed in the same timely manner. (couple of years, been about the same)

Well the reason I think its necessary is:
Don't know what AT's you are playing but on my Controllers there are PLENTY of interesting powers I could take instead of Fitness. Most of my characters tend to end up being backloaded, and not really fleshing out until their 20's. |
Giving us fitness for free doesn't make the game easier, it just makes it less mechanical. I already take Swift on EVERY character between 6 and 12, and Health at 14-18, and Stamina at 20. Those are not interesting or fun power picks. I'm burning 3 power choices by 20 just to get something to control my endurance.
And because I can't control my endurance (especially if I'm running on TOs and DOs), I also have to put off toggles and other expensive powers. So basically the 1-22 ride is really boring on every character, and why a lot of people rush up to 22 or so. I'd like to actually take the level 20 power at 20. I'd like to take the 16 and 18 powers at the levels they unlock at instead of devoting one of those slots to Health. I'd like to actually take active powers in the early levels instead of a ton of prereqs. Most of the reason I love NR is because it doesn't fill my character up with prereqs and necessary power picks.
My only question is if I get Hurdle for free or if I'll have to somehow pick it. I only rarely take Hurdle on any characters. If I get it free that's pretty cool. Almost all my toons use NR and CJ, so jumping higher and faster will speed me up.
I also worry about slots, especially in the early levels, but not that much. Right now taking Swift at 6 might be boring, but at least I can use my slots at 7 for something else. I can't now though.
Dispari has more than enough credability, and certainly doesn't need to borrow any from you.

To people doomsaying about fitness being inherit.
Pretty much every character has stamina already, and those that don't are character types that don't use much endurance or already have a "stamina" of their own. All this is doing is freeing up some power/slot choices. Don't see how that makes the game any easier than already having stamina.
Unless of course being able to put 5 slots in boxing now makes the game soo much easier than it originally was.
