It's that kind of noise that's really annoying and even worse it's the kind of falsehood, among others, that just gets repeated again and again and again.
Not that it particularly has anything to do with my personal I20/end-game concerns, but having participated in all three of your examples...

I do take your point, and it is likely the best comparison, but I'm still not sure it is a good comparison between BAF and Lambda with a prevalence of incarnate contribution in beta sneak and CoP on Live with more limited abilities available.

That aside, and in contrast, I've only been part of one failed CoP after several runs, and have never run it post incarnates so I imagine it is certainly a different animal now. Now while that personal CoP experience gets back to your solid coordination and leadership points a few posts ago, , I would say that in no way do I think CoP is harder.


City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

Mostly agreed. I've had miserable experiences on CoP but I've been told that there are several aspects of Rularru and one that is absolutely awful. Each time I did it I've gotten the big man with storm powers and I've been told that that's the one that eats your lunch.

I didn't complete the Lambda, but I saw that our issues were more along the lines of people not following what they were supposed to be following, and the BAF was going pretty much without a hitch. Both times I had great leadership (just not great followers on the Lambda...).
