When i first started on the forums jul 11 2014 I had a dream:
I have been posting in the forums to try to get my reputation up to 25 so i can have the means to achieve my goal I started so long ago, but my dream goes unfulfilled.
I come to you to let you decide if my burning anger for True Healing is righteous or if I have been wasting my time on fool’s errand?
The time has come to cast your judgement. lift my hammer to deal my justice or let my dreams fall to the dirt.
Let the storm begin…for winter is coming.
plus if you post here i will try to up vote you so you too can achieve your dreams
If you really want rep, don’t beg; make pandering emotional statements to the forum crowd or say something useful.
Plus, the OP in that was right. Endless prologue healing with OBW broke the intended state of the game. Downvoting something just because you disagree with it isn’t the right use of down votes. With forum power comes… forum responsibility?
I tried working for it got 42 posts to my name mostly in the feed back and suggestion forum topics some with comment replies liking them but the reputation doesn’t come. Besides i don’t think the intend use of the game is only 20 mins at a time. I had a taste of freedom playing 2-3 hour blocks in a row.
Also i think that is exactly what down voting is for or am i completely wrong about the concept and have been living a lie?
Lastly, i don’t tell you what to do with your reputation.
True healing change was the best thing to happen to the game.
That time was my first and closest time to quitting. There’s litterally no fun in fighting OBW in every single match…and besides, she really has no healing ability. Why not give everyone in the game a stark device then? Stupid.
I guess so, it took me about 100 posts before I got 25 rep. However, with the way the forum rep works, it’s more geared towards casual liking, but disliking only with major cases; it’s not as much like reddit or youtube where +likes has little consequence. Disliking too many posts is an easy way to find yourself under 25 again.
Less people read suggestions than general discussion, but the suggestions forums feels more generous with upvotes.
I don’t really see daken that often, either version. here and there. typically I’ll leave daken for 2nd or last and just make sure I have an ablity saved to basically 1 shot him so I don’t have to worry about his healing.
You can’t compare the two really since OBW was almost literally every single match all the way up. and she’s still useful and gets used. see her often still, so it didn’t kill her off.
Same goes for sentyr nerf. Although he’s pretty much useless now I’m glad teh sentry / hood wall is gone, and at least replaced with the good ol xforce wall…lol.
Anniversary tokens were nice and all, but they’re only available for a few days out of the year. If they never implemented respec for characters, there’s no way people would have stuck with this game. I win
I was in a different place when true healing was implemented. I was playing what seemed like a largely casual game; and I wasn’t reliably placing all that well in PVE or PVP. True healing was a tough pill to swallow at the time because it definitely felt like they were taking away my ability to ‘just play’ whenever I wanted and for however long I wanted.
What True Healing drove home for me (in a way that hadn’t really managed to sink in up to that point) is that this is more like an arcade game than a console game. Bringing a console-game mentality my assumption was that I would just click the ‘accept’ button on the “Game Over” screen and go again. (Take a beating in a match, swap over to story and heal - same thing.) True healing didn’t make me a powerhouse in PVP; no one running a small Spider-Man with 2* thor and wolverine is going to be killing it in PVP - even back in those days.
But if you view it more from an ‘arcade’ perspective. Being met with the “Game Over” screen means if I want to keep playing then its time to drop in another quarter. Having a health pack cost 50HP semi aligns with that metaphor if you figure a Stark Salary makes 50HP translate to roughly $0.25. The metaphor fails slightly since that quarter only restores one my my characters to full health, so that makes the game more like one of those “3-quarters” games.
I want to say I have matured to the point that I recognize the value that true healing brought to the game. But I have to confess that my primary PVP team for the first 400 points in any event is Patch/Daken/Loaner – and I do still take a goon fight in story mode if Patch/Daken are looking a little low on health. That strategy isn’t guaranteeing me any placement prizes though - if I want to win something that team gets swapped out in favor of something less durable, but more high-powered.
I do want to say, I personally think it’s fine to downvote a post you disagree with. Downvoting is not for something that is wrong - that’s what the ‘Report’ function is for - it’s there for you to say ‘yay that’s cool!’ or ‘nay that’s fool hearty!’, kind of like Reddit. I mean, it’s literally called a “Reputation System” - it’s a polished up popularity contest.
Really? To me, that’s exactly how a mobile game was intended to be played.
Long live The Throne of MPQ!
Also, Downvotes effectively hide comments. Therefore, I feel like downvoting someone you merely disagree with is a form of censorship. I don’t think that was the intent when it was implemented.
