    The jumpers are not going to be placated into doing otherwise by an optimistic news letter.

    that being said - free server transfers will probably happen in Jan...move to freedom if you like to pvp, move to virtue if you like to rp...or stay @ champ if you like the peeps -

    BUT NEVER COMPARE COH TO ANY OTHER MMO _ THEY CAN'T Handle it.

    I go on the Freedom And Infinity servers and the population seems to be thriving.
    I think that Paragon studios is going to have to take steps and maybe merge some servers.


    Once DCUO comes out there might be players who will migrate to that game.
    thereby losing more subscribers. Please NCsoft think about.

    Champion is still fun, contraction is the nature of MMOs. Outright server merg will not happen, it's gamings version of g/o/o/business, free server transfers have been offered during special periods for over a year.


    DCUO might drag some players away, but I've been in it's beta a few months and I've played more coh in that time then I have the last two years combined.


    Don't fret young man, grab a pint of mead, sit back and enjoy some tasty bacon.

    Like Severe said, I use two steadfasts and that's plenty, plus if you can afford it the Unique and kb io will give you a tiny 1.5 end bonus (slot mine in Plasma Shield).

    1. How necessary is taunt?
    It's useful definitely, but "necessary", no, ranged attacks like fireball can at least attract attention if you can't fit taunt in your build.

    2. In general it seems the play style should be "resist damage for as long as you can, then hit your heal,

    what supplemental powers should I get to make that easier?
    Combat Jumping and Weave (along w/ some tiny +defense via io sets) and even Maneuvers can add additional survivability while you're in between HFs recharge.
    There are also some nice set bonuses to slot in their like lotg 7.5, which, of course will help HFs come up quicker.

    3. The tier 9 power for fire/ seems very interesting. It appears as if you could legitimately make faceplanting a part of your tanking tactic:
    Mmm, /spits blood out of tear ducts/, um yes some players find it fits the way they play, I'm distinctly in the not ever category--if you're on any decent team you'll be motoring at a quick enough clip that who has time to wait for your dead carcass to res, they'll be on to the next group w/out U.

    4. How does burn work these days?
    Burn is great after recent buffs, but I have found I get by with just three slots, after testing a six'd version with i18, either way it's a large part of your chain (not the OMG Armageddon it was, but good enough).



    You didn't ask about it, but I'd just add that fiery Embrace is also newly buffed, but after experimentation it's long recharge still makes it less consistently useful then Build Up.

  17. All the most interactive devs are now gone.

    Grey days for coh indeed.


    Thanks Castle, for all you did.
  18. Saw it, liked it. My wife and fickle niece also enjoyed it, neither of them having seen the original.

    How many tiers of lurk, btw, did you pierce through to find 'submit reply'.

    Hope all is well, and my wife says you guys never met us at Disney World as planned. =D
  21. Closed betas and youtube have both missed you. ;]
