I for one would welcome weather! It would greatly add to the immersion! I would enjoy it's subtle and ubiquitous feel added of the game world. The game looks spiffy and wonderful and feels plastic and fake. I say make this pretend world we all enjoy and spend time being good, evil, and now indifferent have the emotional impact of an alternate dimension not that of a plastic play thing picked up at the five and dime for the amusement of a five year old.

For those who have less modern GUP's or who dislike the effects it is easy enough to add an option to disable weather on your computer.

Of course should I have to choose to have the weather right away or, say, 20 bright shiny new tiles for each set I would have to go for the new map pieces first. I have, however, wanted weather since before issue one. I loved the first time I journeyed into DA and found the dark and scary fog within.

Gale really blows. Like really really blows. (though some people seem to like it)

AV's resist debuffs (freezing rain)

Freezing rain lasts a lot longer then the animation leads you to believe.

Bonfire just wasnt quite what I expected and is situationally very powerful.

Repel can perma lock down multiple bosses if you corner them.

Tornado doesn't just do knock back and damage. It does lots of knock back and lots of damage, and stun and -resist. I have watched it eat bosses whole by itself.

Lightning storm is an AOE. It fires at the closest target to YOU the caster. The range from the cloud to target is much larger then the range away from you it will target a mob.

With lots of recharge you can stack lightning storm. With speedboost and hasten you can manage two full time. (with good slotting)

You can tank with hurricane.

Electric armor for my stalker now has a heal. (when I last played it didn't)

People will actually complain about getting a buff the gives +recharge and +end in large quantities.

Temp invulnerability (epic controller pool) is a toggle not a click.

People will always kill the mob with snow storm on it first -- no matter how many times you explain.

You can make low level mobs go a very long ways with repel.

Force bubble is very useful for a bots mastermind despite with nearly everyone says.

Force bubble/hurricane wont take knock back enhancements even though it does knockback.

Hotfeet is uber. (though it takes a ton of end redux)

Nothing eats endurance like the Storm set. NOTHING.

Fire imps arnt as cute as you think they are. (most particularly after the first few times they agro several extra groups of mobs and get you killed)

Nova/Dwarf take end mod enhancements. (built in stamina)

Tri-form Kheldians are a lot of work and even more fun.

More recently I have found (some) people dont get how controller powers work and dont know how to play with one in the group.

I am back after a mmog break.

On virtue I have two 50's and a number of alts from 1 to 39.

I am looking for a SG that is into enjoying the game. A group that is up for no to lite to medium role play, yet not afraid to talk about computers, video cards, the weather or whatever.

I very much wish to avoid any RP police.

I am also interested in playing with people who are open to a variety of in game strategies. There are many ways to solve missions.

I believe every class and AT that is well played has value and room on a team.

If I sound like a player that would fit in with and help your Super Group please let me know.

Thank you.

I was just wondering when

" City of Heroes–The mouse cursor does not display. [259256]
This is an application issue that can be worked around in full‐screen mode by adding
“compatible cursors 1” to the City of Heroes desktop shortcut.
NVIDIA is pursuing a fix with the application developer "

Is going to be fixed? In has been in every Nvidia patch notes for over 5 years now.

Not horrible or anything to look at the gimp replacement cursor... just not perfect.

I dislike the teens... mostly because my power choices are set. A few of my peoples can do with out stamina, the rest though the levels 6-20 I have to take travel prereq - travel - then three picks from fitness.

Counting 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 thats eight power picks five of which I don't get to use my primary or secondary sets.

Of course I19 will change this a whole lot.

I solo as much or more then I team and thirty plus can slow down, yet the easy answer to that is to team up.

All good information and I thank the providers.

I too recently returned from a bit of a COH vacation. I welcomed the changed to the market, or so I thought. I find it harder to find and get IO's as well. I havnt shopped for my 50's as yet.

I am happy for the most part using SO's leveling up, there are some IO's though that are just nifty to have. Like call of the sandman's healing proc. They just arnt to be found.

I think another change, on that was defiantly for the good, that has affected the market is the ability to email items between characters. Now just one or a few characters can do the bulk of the buying and selling. And bids for dont have to be on just the character who needs the item.

I dont go looking to pick fights with AV's solo, however, I have beat a few with my fire/storm controller and with my peace bringer. (no temp powers used)

The peace bringer can be kinda slow, he is tri-form and I often have to go into dwarf form to survive and do almost no damage, jumping into nova form just briefly to alpha and then hide in dwarf some more and heal.

I remember fighting nemesis with my PB (or a nemesis if you prefer) and we just couldn't hurt each other much.

IMO

Storm - Tornado could be your character twirling their hands around, like someone talking with their hands while saying mix or tornado. Some options besides the stand up like an X with your arms spread wide... could be some more castery type, and/or equipment based animations.

In general I'd like to see animations that can speak to origins: tech based, cast spell, chi-fu kinds thing etc.

I could see fire blaster doing all sorts of casts with a fire staff or sword, or burnign hands.

I just hate the squeeze your head to get the power out type animations (metalism)... could be a cold stare with energy running up and down the caster followed by eye beams or something.

I like DW sword, could add some variety though. I like DW guns so far, though I have not leveled very high. I would like to see more of a blaster type gun for the set though, a few futuristic options.

Fire control could use some work.... right now many of the animations are subtle, could make some over the top options for holds/stuns to balance it out.

Will multiple damage procs fire off though? Or do they suppress each other so that only one goes off every 10 seconds?

What about chain powers?

Nice - Thanks

Across my characters I have many alts I have numerous power types.

In order to fully utilize this vast array of abilities I would like to proc them out.

Is there a comprehensive list of IO's with procs? I would greatly apreciate the use of such a list.

Thank you

Thank you so very much for your reply.

As of now 'Electron Volts' is threat level 34. He is on my rotation of people in the COH universe I am currently working on developing and growing. I am also very much enjoying my Elec/Elec dominator.

I have three slots in most of my damage shields, I believe I will now work on getting them to four. I love IO's that proc. I got lucky before I took this last break in playing and got the (is it Kismet?) +6% acc, which I have slotted in hide. Are there any other good procs for resist powers?

With my offence I have three attacks that include sleep, I have call of the sandman in each (at least I think thats the set) chance to heal which is awesome. It isnt as good as a self heal power and is much better then nothing.

Thank you again for the information

Is there a tool for measuring DPS? Or is it all meta based on build, slotting and recharge times etc?

Are there any good in game utilities like with wow?
