I was wondering if there was an application that simulated the costume creator on City of Heroes. My costumes need a lot of work but whenever I log on I end up playing the game and not spending time on them.

Thanks

No, I didn't know that. Is this both at the tailor and the character creator?

I was hoping for something I could play around with at work.

This may be a little off topic but how do these farmers affect how you play? I'm asking this honestly; what can't you do with MA now that you will be able to do once the design of the system changes?

I completely understand Ultimo's concept. Speaking for myself and a handful of others, I drew and wrote my own comic books with original characters who had a variety of powers long before City of Heroes came out. Some of them may have used blast typed powers but were also resilient (as a reference: Silver Surfer type character). In some rare cases, you can't fully create a concept character using the power selections and 99 times out of 100, for good reason.

This is why I love MA; it finally allows me to make almost all of the characters I created in my youth. I wish that I could play AS them but for now it has to be good enough that I fight along side them or against them.

Again, I wish that there was a game similar to CoH where issues of balance didn't exist where I could play an energy blast/inv blaster or a mind control/martial arts scrapper but since the mmorpg side of the game takes precedence over unlimited creativity I just rely on imagination which is fine.

I know I'm focusing on a secondary power that is also a Defender primary but I've noticed that very few Controllers are taking Trick Arrow as a secondary. In my experience, it is one of the most powerful and synergistic secondaries for most if not all Controllers.

I think we all know that being */kin can get you on just about any team especially if you're willing to spam speed boost and fulcrum shift. However, one of the things that can affect a person's decision on whether or not to take a certain powerset is their speculation on how desireable they would be on a team. Here are a few reasons I think people should feel good about creating and recruiting Controllers with Trick Arrow secondaries.

1. Extra controls: TA in and of itself almost plays like a Controller primary. Actually, I'm shocked it's availabe for Controllers. Glue, Oil Slick and even Flash are nice soft controls while Ice stacks up nicely on Bosses with your single target primary. EMP is a great AoE hard control that can be alternated between the primary AoE hold and sets up containment.

2. DeBuffs. People love Fulcrum Shift because it increases damage (allowing the team to "arrest" faster) but TA offers two powers that decrease resistance. They both recharge quickly and are offered earlier than FS. Also, the whole team benefits as opposed to only those who are in FS range at the time of the application.

3. Oil Slick Arrow. As mentioned above, it's a great soft control but what better way to take advantage of immobilize, slow or fear powers than to also apply DoT?

These are just a handful of reasons to be on the look out for our point-sticked friends. On those occassions where I'm not the team lead I almost always get the leader who refuses to advance the group until he finds a "healer" or kin. Ultimately, my wish is that the stigma on */TA can be diminished similar to the persecution of Dark/Dark defenders in the earlier issues.

If anyone has any builds, tips, experiences or anecdotes they'd like to share regarding */TA Controllers, feel free. Think of it as a therapy group.

I am having the same problem EXCEPT I can't log on to any servers. Everything is fine to the point where i choose a server and then I get logged off and that dbserver message.

I was hoping that there would be some information in this thread regarding how to fix this problem. I just sent an email to tech support so I'm not sure how quickly they will respond.

If you're really sad about the half debt in missions just take your fights outside. You can die all you want out there and get all that lovely debt.
