No? Too bad. Hopefully one day you will be able to move past the pain. And just remember, Im here for you.

I feel like you're close to a breakthrough! Dry those eyes and get back on the horse buckaroo.

Let the pain out little buddy. My point is that range characters should not be additionally penalized due to the nature of that class.

There there, I will pat your head until the hurt inside subsides.

I could say the same to you, honestly. Umadbro that I deleted your prison rape scene?

No, but always being able to kite foes because of completely inaccurate game world physics has always been horribly lacking combat design. In games in which its intended (the action-y "simply don't ever get hit" shooters and stuff), it's no longer really kiting, because it's the only way you can fight -- you're just a ranged attacker that's shooting when you can and avoiding damage so you don't lose the game. However, in an RPG with tactical combat, your ranged combatants aren't supposed to magically be capable of never having to lose their range advantage, all by themselves. My Mage and Ranger are specifically designed for range attack. As soon as a mook makes a beeline to one or the other and engages in melee combat then they will be severely disadvantaged. The mage will be reduced to hitting with his grimoire (laff) or plinking with his "blast" ability while the Ranger will probably suffer a close range penalty or be forced to switch to a melee weapon. If they try to make space they will suffer AoO. That's dumb design. Gfted1, question. Are you being intentionally obtuse or just genuinely blockheaded? People have explained to you numerous times what degenerate tactics mean, yet even now, after all this time, you can't even get the word right, let alone the concept. What gives? Shhh, adults are talking. I'll try to pay attention to you when you have something productive to add.

Did kiting become "degenerative gameplay" while I wasn't looking?

‘The Flash’ TV Series Is Officially Speeding To The CW. Includes origin video of Flash as shown on Arrow.

That's called Battery and its already a crime (in the US).

Oh yeah, now I remember that picture. @Gromnir: No, it doesn't matter to me. And for the record, I look like a Greek god.

I still don't get it. So you are male? I wonder why MC said female. I was under the impression you guys voicechat during CoH games.

They should send in the Foreign Legion.

Oh the delicious irony.

Sorry about that. I was drunk and your avatar got me all wound up.

^Yeah, segregation is a great idea.

On the bright side, I will be able to continue my mental exercise of counting how many times he will refer to himself in third person as "one". Seriously though, all races, creeds, religions and sexual preferences (except white males) should be allowed to form their own special groups just so they will leave everyone else the hell alone.

So does this mean that boobplate is back in or is it the only armor that doesn't offer visual reference to the sex of the wearer?

Also, that scenario is specifically defeated with SSBN's.

Beware the werewolf.

Maybe you should stick to providing your own opinion instead of trying to discredit everyone that doesn't agree with you by posting that nobody takes them seriously.

isn't this more of a combat mode problem than morale problem? A little of both I suppose. Im not 100% sure what triggered morale failure but once it happened the mooks would run away and you would be forced to run them down and kill them just to exit "combat mode".

My party is generally composed by the order I meet the NPC's. I wont take anyone "evil" or if I encounter them too far into the game since Im already invested in whos in my party. The exception being if Im forced to lose a party member (Yoshiro, Iomen) and replace them with someone new to fill out the party but if its a "normal" death / chunking I will just reload.

I hope the enemies don't have morale. Nothing more annoying than having to chase a Gibberling across the map and kill it just to exit "combat mode".

I wasn't talking about spell animations, the more the merrier. I was trying to answer MReed's question of:

Or they could simply use buff / debuff icons on the character portraits, like all previous IE games.
