_Force_

Kudos Dinah & Company

Haven't seen any of the mods on yet, @Force needs a channel invite.

I got bored, enjoy. (Yes I know it doesn't rhyme.)



Out of the Task Force I started
Grey as the stairs from Minotaur to Cyclopes
I thank whatever my team build may be
For my unconquerable scrapper

In the fell clutch of Romulus
I have not face planted nor hit my accolades
Under the bludgeonings of ambushes
My head is bloody, or I just popped more reds

Beyond this place of debuffs and Nictus
Looms but the horrors of a bad merit roll
And yet the menace of the Task Force
Finds and shall find me with more monies

It matters not how high the rooftops
How charged with lag the canyon
I am the master of my keybinds
I am the captain of my set bonuses.


So pick your favorite Poem, and alter it CoH style.

Hiya, @Force here. Welcome to Champion Server, Zeph. I'm sure we can overwhelm you with info pretty easily so I'll keep it simple by adding only 3 things.

1. It's not the build it's the player.
2. Make more scrappers. (No really)
3. Always keep it to the left. (Unless you already have the map memorized and it's actually a right turn...)


If you still find it hard to find teams after you've given Champion some time then... give it more time, join the channels. This is a great server but as said previously, most people already know each other (for the most part). Just butt your head into BMT I'm sure we'll have a few people willing to pick you up and tie you up. I mean show you the ropes.


I'm sure you're probably gotten it taken care of by now, but if you haven't post up your global handle here and we'll get about reeling you in. I think I might know a Mod that can help.

Need anything else:

/t @Force, Hi Force this is _____. I'm bored, fix it.

Well, I've had way too many people asking me about this so I'll explain a little.


This is a repost from my post in the bugs section of the forums.

Here's another one for ya'll since I didn't see it said yet.

Don't bother doing a Dr. Kahn. On the final mission Reichsman stays in his "god mode" no matter what you do. (yes we thoroughly tested this)



Here's what I got when I reported THAT:

"An Arch-villain or Hero is intended to be a very difficult enemy to defeat and take longer to defeat than normal bosses. In most situations, a team will be needed to defeat an Arch-villain or Hero of the same level. At this time, all Arch-villains and Heroes in the game are working as designed. We strongly recommend going to the forums as there is wealth of player based knowledge on the best strategies for Arch-villains and Heroes."




........ Oh Frackin' really.

I won't quote myself from my page long response, but I will summarize:

1. Hi, I've been playing this awhile and I kinda know how stuff works thanks.
2. You're an idiot.

I vote we get a temp summon for one of these. It gets good after about 30 seconds...

I'd be happy to take it off your hands once the markets come back up and I can get at all my monies. (Shame on me for not gleemail storing it all when I should have)

(Edited)

So, I had this huge rant about how angry I was about something and how I'd call out NC Soft on it. But I won't get ya'll involved. just done be surprised if ya don't see me on the forums anymore.

You can cancel the MoKahn until further notice, it is bugged and uncompletable. You can thank I17 I imagine.

On a side note, it's hard for people to sign up for an event when there is no time listed. I understand that you want to be able to accommodate people with a less versatile schedule. But first and foremost, accommodate yourself. Pick a time based one when you, the host can make it. Then make your post.

That way those that can make it to the scheduled time can sign up and know where and when. And those that can't make it, well.. their loss.

And if you want a Mo____ to be successful it's always a good idea to set a few guidelines to your team makeup instead up getting a hog-pile of whoever needs the badge. I don't believe I have ever (at least not in a long time) done a Masters run comprised of only characters that need the badge. More often than not I or someone I trust willingly takes a hit and brings something to fill the gaps.

I have provided below an excellent format for what I mean.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time:

TF:

"I GATTACA, will be bringing a blaster. I'll need two more damage types, as well as a Tank, an Empath (If you believe in that kind of stuff, personally I don't Emps are for Hami raids or in the words of Silas, teams that are Lol), a Kin (Def/Troller doesn't matter) and two more of a buff/debuff class (A cold would be great!).

So please sign up with what you want/can bring to fill those particular needs."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know it may seem unfair to build your team for success, but sometimes you just have to be the bad guy and go ahead and tell the mastermind to bring something else :P


Anyway... I'm still in as long as the time and date you choose fits into my oh so busy schedule. Just, ya know let us know when to be there.

I always say "It's not the build it's the player" Which can evolve into 3 simple facts:

1. Good players playing IO'd out builds can do great things.
2. Bad players playing IO'd out builds suck at life.
3. Good players playing SO'd out builds are better than #2 by far.

Ultimately a good player playing an IO'd out build IS going to out perform a good player playing an SO'd out build, but your lack of IOs isn't going to be as noticeable if you build your character well and play it well.

SR and WP are geared towards very different ends as far as building them goes, but after the building is over they are both seemingly the types of sets where you toggle up and forget about it while you focus on the offensive. Not extra button mashing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turning to your build:

11 Points of KB Protection is decent enough, however from what I can make out that is one of the only things I can see that is on track for this build.

Low Hit Points even taking accolades into consideration.

12.5% recharge.

Resistance to S/L is low without Tough, your defense very low.

Decent Dmg bonus from sets.

You've got a very expensive build there that isn't going to hold up under any sort of a hard stress test. I might even venture to say that someone with a well slotted SO build might give you a run for your money on both damage output and survivability.


You've got the basic concept down for slotting, but you really need to be looking at the bonuses of all the possible sets you could be slotting, attempt to maximize the actual powers potential with the enhancements while at the same time looking at the bonuses of the sets you are choosing to do so with, a few extra slots to complete a set here and there and a few less in other areas would help greatly. You've got to prioritize, pick what attributes/bonuses you think would most help the build and slot accordingly. Your all over the place here with no shine to any particular attribute.

Before I even start a build I generally have a good idea in my mind of what my final goal #s are going to be, I then look at each power and the choices I have for set bonuses for that power. Look at ALL the bonuses, more often than not that 6ths slot of a set give off some pretty hefty help to your build.

I'd suggest deciding on a road and restarting from scratch. See what you can come up with and I'm sure there are plenty of folks here who can lend and hand and help you mold your build after you're got a better idea of where you want to take it.

Oh and have fun! Mids is an adventure! There are so many different things people choose to do with a resistance based build, some choose to scrap any defense and focus on resistance, recharge and HPs, others try to soft-cap some of the defense types (smashing/lethal/melee being the most common). Judging from this first attempt at a build you look like a Resistance/Recharge/HPs kinda guy so I'd suggest focusing on those first, or even play around with multiple build of different focuses.

Not a problem.
