    I just did a Google Image Search for "normal" and I've got SafeSearch set to moderate.

    Why the hell is "normal hymen illustration" the first result for that? And why is it sharing a page with pictures of Robert Mugabe and Tibet? At least the "normal map" pictures make some sense.

    Why the fuck is it, that whenever I read something like this the first thing I go and do is go see for myself.

    It's like when someone yawns, you have to yawn too. Except with horrid pictures of deformed genitalia.

    Though, I suppose that also occurs when some people yawn.

    This should go away with Issue 12. TK's Repel will no longer affect players.
    Seems like business as usual to me.

    They've got a reason. It's just that their fix doesn't address that issue alone.

    I just have this feeling that if you asked Castle to drive a nail into a piece of wood, he'd reach for a jackhammer.

    I tried it for awhile. Zones seem to be not too challenging. Warburg was the only place that gave me trouble. Test server arena seems to be the only place for high levels of PvP. Even then it's usually just people with builds that work exceptionally well in PvP. Completely twinked out at that.

    I think Ghost is big on PvP.

    I'd love it if they balanced PvP better, added base raids in, and made it so that each PvP Zone had a instance that is accessible from every server in the game. Sure there is test but this is better, obviously. Obviously I'm also ignoring all of the time/money it would take to make this stuff work.

    Really I'd just be happy with base raids. Even if PvP stayed exactly the same as it is. Travel Powers aren't as annoying in base raids as they are in open zones.

    Base raids would also force people out of their ss+sj+ranged strategy. Which would be a boon to melee oriented toons. There's nothing worse than getting your ass handed to you by some asshole with the ability to fight you at snipe+ range constantly.

    I actually have no reason to believe the devs will seriously focus on fixing PvP. Especially base raids. That should be just as much a part of the gameplay as everything else. Bases are just storage and porter access as far as most are concerned. This is a game based around comic style hero and villains. Epic battles should be a normal part of our time spent playing. Be they in some instanced zone or base raids.

    Well, looks like Castle has already reverted out that change to TK. Acro is still getting nerfed, and they have explained why.

    Indeed. It seems like Castle is, in fact, taking a lot of ideas and suggestions from the boards and they are definitely affecting the final decisions. Seems like he's done that for many significant changes recently.

    Not really. I beat it honest once...no need to ever do that again. The pain!

    Actually it was really fun. I kind of look forward to doing it again with a character that can actually gain EXPs.

    I normally don't like to post completely full rosters but that was just how it worked out this time. Once I get a 45-50 villain I'd like to get a LRSF going, but people really need to be prepared and on the ball if we want to do that, the normal messing around won't fly there.

    I can relate. I deleted the only villain I had anywhere near LRSF range. Now my highest is some cripple 38 Ice/Cold corrupter that's about as much fun to play as chewing on tin foil.

    Castle has my respect. He's not afraid to try things on test and revert them if it doesn't work. The first revision to Defiance that he tried in the I11 Closed Beta was not very good, we told him so, and he pulled it from the issue in order to do it right a little later. Also, I think the fact that he was a CoH Player before he became a CoH Dev probably gives him a good perspective.

    Ironically my team/scheme dudes are my highest level guys (well, highest hero/villain respectively, I have another hero higher than my villain.

    But if they're not going to get played anymore and/or with more slots team/scheme moves to Virtue, I want to just transfer these guys over.
