Quote:Actually, I posted them so people interested could contact me instead of not being able to get the name they wanted. I've traded names for a few, but for the most part I've straight up given them away when someone asked me about acquiring a name. And I've also helped several people get a name they wanted from someone ELSE by offering my list as more names for them to trade with getting nothing in return myself. So mind your own business if you don't know what you're talking about.Originally Posted by Roughtrade
Seriously?
I stopped counting at about 50 but what is that, almost 100 names? Over 100?
Seems kinda sad to see people doing this sort of BS.
Also, you can use the /getglobalname, namegoeshere feature find what the global is of the account that has your name already so instead of posting on forums they may not read you can contact them directly ingame.
And yes, if they are willing to trade but you don't have anything to trade you may offer my list to see if they see anything they like as a trade.

The idea was that if you found a name that was available and you didn't claim it for yourself, or that you had a name and are willing to give/trade it away, that you would post here.
See the Virtue Name Watch Thread for reference. It's grown to just about 13,000 posts of people sharing names. Not too bad for an RP server.
There are a few other name threads for bragging rights
I did "fix" the post so that folks who misunderstood and assumed the worst such as yourself have an easier time of getting the purpose of my post. -

Joel here, known as @Force. I've spent my time on Champion for most of my CoH career up until now. Exalted is now my main effort and is where I will be 99% of the time. My wife, @Amily also play and although she isn't on as much as I, she has also made the move to Exalted with me looking for new scenery. She is an altaholic, and I spend my time on just a small handful of characters. We both enjoy helping where we can and join random teams when announced, but our specialty would be mass destruction, speed anything and everything, Master runs, and rockin' our Corrs/Defenders duo or as mixed support on teams. (Who doesn't love a good Cold/Therm combo?)

Quote:Actually we missed the first 4 hours, We were able to acquire our globals as names FINELY which was amazing. All the rest of the names we saved on our two accounts (48 slots each) in a matter of several hours, but neither of us were home when the Exalted came online so we weren't there for the mad rush of names. But yes, our two computers are capable of laughing at lagOriginally Posted by Klatteja
Even with 2 people and multiple accounts, _Force_ would, IMO, have to have more than 2 computers capable of laughing at lag to get all those names so quickly. Granted, a good chunk of those names likely had no one else going for them. Still, an impressive achievement.
And unless I'm mistaken, _Force_ did manage to negotiate with the person who'd taken Force and thus acquire it. Good on ya, cobber!
To say the wife has extreme altitus is an understatement... -

One that we didn't get that we really want and would be willing to trade for, is Pentagram. -
I did not get Force
I am not pleased.
You know who you are, contact me. It'll be worth your time. -
And it won't let me rename them to move them either. Brilliant.
Might as well add that to the known issues, Can't transfer characters with an Apostrophe in the name, and cannot rename them either. -
Ah, it's the Apostrophe, well bloody hell.
That's what I get for having generically named characters...
-
Force's Cold - Vigilante - Currently in Founders Falls.
Force's Therm - Rogue - Currently in Talos.
Force's Shield - Vigilante - Currently in Steel Canyon.
Force's Fire - Hero - Currently in Kings Row.
None are transferring. -
My account will not transfer characters over to Exalted even though I have 6 tokens. Wife's account works just fine and takes the usual few seconds but my account won't transfer at all, even leaving the screen open for 30 minutes, relogging, restarting my computer. Nothing seems to work.
Anyone else have this problem or a fix? -
I'll be movin', not 100% of my roster, but most. Will be leaving several 50s on Cham so I'll still be able to join in on any Champion madness when invited.

A few revisions based on feedback. Still probably won't be going to Leadership route, however I dolled it up and posted it anyway for anyone who was interested.

Quote:That is what I was addressing.Originally Posted by Amygdala
I'm fairly confident that the reason Silas suggested that Recovery Aura should be slotted further wasn't because his own build is dependent on it.
Quote:Originally Posted by Stray Kitten
A couple odd questions that this post brought up...
So you intend on using brawl and boxing?
Shouldn't Resurrect be viewed in the same manner then?
Also, I didn't catch this before, but no Rain of Fire makes me sad.
Oh yeah, boxing and brawl... woops
I'm also rather sad about the no RoF, but unless it's for solo purposes most mobs seem to be dead in just a couple seconds on a good team anyway so I'd just assume get the boom over the rain. I actually am working on an alternate built that includes Leadership, as well as slightly addressing the one slotted hasten even though I don't see it as much a concern. But only because Silas made me think about it more...
Oh and to address your resurrect question.
No. -
Quote:Originally Posted by Silas
Interesting. I wouldn't say it sucks because that would be boorish, but its certainly not how I'd build an Emp.
Some things I'd do differently:
- Recovery Aura is way underslotted. Anytime you exemplar below 45 it'll take ages to recharge. It's also taken way later than I would. Both auras are ASAP powers for me. Even if you never exemplar the slotting is poor.
- Panaceas in Regen Aura and AB, this set gives much less recharge enhancement than other sets. Only compensated for at 45+ with the Alpha. My preference is to slot them for max recharge and then have the Alpha on top of that. You'd get more bang for your buck enhancing the powers properly and then getting recharge rather than skipping straight to massive recharge.
- Lots of slots and purple sets invested in powers that are of minimal to no use. I refer to Boxing and Web Envelope, not sure where you'll get the 5th purple set for your Emp/Fire, but I certainly hope its not Armageddons in Inferno or something, haha. I did set mules myself for powers I'll almost never use, but its a smaller slot investment and for greater returns.
- No Leadership pool. As you say, a matter of personal preference. I wouldn't skip them on a Defender given their awesome buff mods and the fact that they buff you as well. Even if they didn't buff the team Assault and Maneuvers would be awesome, the fact that they do makes them a no-brainer for me.
- Singleslotted Hasten. Again, when exemplared it'll have really poor recharge enhancement.
You've got a fair chunk more recharge but its not helping you as much as it could due to how you've slotted your powers. The build loses a lot on the support side (IMO) but doesn't gain significant offensive or defensive benefit for it.
I would argue that the Empathy/team support side is not as effective as it could be. Key Empathy powers underslotted, taken later on, lack of Leadership. You've got a crapload of recharge, which is great, but it largely serves to compensate for poor slotting in your key powers. Which is a shame, given the investment in the build.
You've got about 25% more global recharge than me. High recharge gives diminished returns as you go. To compare the numbers I've swapped my build to t4 Spiritual Core.
For that extra 25% recharge, your AB recharges 2.1 seconds faster than mine (largely negligible since both are way past perma and impossible to realistically maintain on more than 1 person), Regen Aura recharges 3.5 seconds faster than mine, Fortitude recharges half a second faster and Recovery Aura recharges 5.3 seconds slower.
These differences are also only the case when the Alphas are selected. Without Alpha in the equation the powers are recharging in about the same amount of time. So that extra global recharge is serving almost entirely just to stay even.
I don't think such marginal benefits are worth underslotting core powers and dropping the Leadership pool entirely. To each their own.
- If you honestly need to rely on Recovery Aura than you've got more problems of your own and should work on fixing your own build before relying on the Emp to save your endurance constantly.
- At level 1, this build will still have 87.5% global recharge which is already the level recharge as most folks final builds. At level 17 that bumps up to 117.5%, at level 32 it goes up to 124, level 42 - max recharge. I'd hardly call that horrible when exempt, and while I haven't crunched those numbers, I'm still perfectly happy with the recharge of hasten at 17. Oh no so hasten isn't perma if I ex down to low levels, not so horrible.
- Few tweaks to get Doc Wounds in AB/RA, threw 3 Golgi in Aura so dropped down to 203.8% rech, I appreciate the note. And as an afterthought I did toss the extra two slots into hasten although as I said above, it wasn't an issue before.
- While I many not often use Webnade or Inferno, I still WILL be using them on occasion, perhaps only solo but I'll still be using them.
- Leadership, while I'd like to take Veng, I like to think that taking veng on my Emp is just asking for people to die. And if people are dying then I'm not doing my job. So if I did pick up Veng, that would be my only set mule power 90% of the time. It does have other benefits however it's not in my current build, that may change in the future. -
This is basically what I have planned for my Emp/Fire Defender come I21.
All that needs to be fixed is getting Fire Blast for defenders into Mids. Which, if you look at the power selections from Ice Blast you can easily enough get an idea of what powers I'll be choosing from Fire Blast in the corresponding power selections. Blast, Ball, Blaze, Inferno, Aim.
Silas this should be easy enough for you to switch into Sonic and take a look at the differences between yours and mine. It's perfect for me and what I want it to do. Specifically, melt faces while still being yayanEmpath and being as effective as possible with both. As always with any build not everyone is going to agree everything that goes into a build. Some people like PBU, some people want Ranged Def, some people want Veng, everyone wants somethin' different if they really think about it. This however is specifically geared towards me and my play-style and what I want. So to each his own, this is just how Force be doin' it.

In any case I suppose that is one way to inform you how focused this server is in Supergroups. Slim to none. If you'd like a good social SG I'd send @Braije a tell, he'll take care of you as well as invite you to the global channel affiliated with the group that has become largely popular. There are a handful of other channels to join to help you find team, Champion Trials, BMT of Champion. If you need more indepth info hit me up ongame, @Force -

Well, I'd be interested to see what you came up with. At first you said you think the build sucked, which is a statement as to the quality of the build. Then you said you just didn't like how I had slotted stuff and that it was personal preference.
So I'd like to see how you would do it differently, either to outright improve it or just how you'd build it according to your preferences. -
