All of the Surviving 8 perish. Replaced with heroes with better back stories.

Also, I will gladly store influence for you.*

Soon, you will be able to completely play for free: no buying the game, no subscription cost. You can just download it from Steam or the CoH site, and play. However, that hasn't gone live yet, and we don't know when it will (though an educated guess is late September).

I think that Tankers actually have a decent range of offense, but I think that's a problem in a lot of these discussions across ATs. For instance, I often hear that Controllers will out-damage Defenders, but those people are talking about Fire/Kins, or Illusion/Cold controllers. I don't think that an Earth/Sonic is going to out damage any Defender.

When talking about Tankers, you've got everything from Fire/SS to Willpower/Ice (probably the lowest damage combo available to Tankers). However, you've got that same range in the other melee ATs. JB says that Tankers do less damage than Stalkers. Well, as a blanket case, maybe, but Stalkers also get drastically reduced survivability. However, a Fire/SS Tanker is likely to do significantly more total damage through a mission than the MA/SR Stalker that's also on the team. Having extra AoE attacks helps significantly with that. However, the Willpower/Energy Tanker (also single-target focused) might not do more damage.

As such, you have to look at the range of damage available to the AT, and find where the median is, and describe the AT around that. Fire/Rad Controllers might be considered "High" damage, but an Ice/Rad might be considered "Very Low." So what do you put Controller damage as? Then do the same thing for the other ATs. Once that is said and done, I think that "Medium" is a good place to put Tanker damage. Some combos can put out more damage than some Scrapper combos, to be sure, but overall, "Medium" is a good fit.


But basically, other than maybe including the CoV ATs in the description, I think it's fine how it is.

Check out the Tech Issues and Bugs forum. They might be able to help you.

This again? The description is fine, and so is the AT. That is my opinion. Notice how I don't go around starting new threads about it all the time.

If you mostly solo, you might want to start off with Scrappers or Brutes. They do good damage, have decent enough defenses, and are pretty solo and new-player friendly.

First off, welcome to the game!

Secondly, it will force you to make your first character in Praetoria. However, every other character you make can start off wherever you want. I think that Praetoria is a nicer place to start, as it is a bit newer. But I'd say that blueside (where the heroes are) is probably the easiest place to start. However, starting in Praetoria (for now) will let you pick any of the basic character archetypes (ATs for short) to start with, which is nice.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Saw it Friday night, and I must say that while I thought it was overall good (better than some of the other HP movies), I did feel it lacked a certain factor for me. I'm not sure if it's just that the movie felt rushed (which it did at parts) or it lacked certain scenes that I thought would have made it better, I don't know. McGonagall's fight scene was pretty good, but quick, and Snape's performance was fantastic. And while I get the desire to put the epilogue in there, I don't think it was that important for the movie.

But, like others in this thread, I think my biggest disappointment was not seeing the side of good being represented in numbers. It looked like the bad side had everyone on it, and the good guys were represented by a handful of schoolkids and the order. Where was everyone else? The parents coming back? The elves? The centaurs? Anyone?!?! All you needed was a few seconds of them all showing up, and then a huge fight scene from overhead. They must've had the budget for it.

Well, that and the fact that despite the Wizards knowing hundreds of spells, we seem to only see four ever cast in in the big battle scenes.

SPOILERS OVER!

Good movie.

Also, you can name your child something other than Mary in Maryland. I don't know why.

With all of the past changes to the game having people complain that they'd kill an AT, I'm amazed we have any ATs left. I mean, Blasters, Tankers, Defenders, Controllers, Scrappers, Brutes, Stalkers, Corruptors, and the poor Khelds should all be dead by now, right?


Oh wait, they're not? Hmmm...must be some sort of reason for that.


Sorry for the snark, OP, but there's been a lot of AT-doom threads recently for some reason. No, powerset proliferation will not kill Defenders. They will still have the best buff/debuff values out there, and get their buff/debuff powers earlier. They'll still be around after this round of proliferation.

Yes, you can, and they actually go quite well together. CJ allows you to move without the drift associated with Flight and Hover.

The thing that would revive redside for me would be to make the contact chain work more like goldside. Stop making me do a mayhem mission just to get a new contact. If I want to perform some villainy, just let me walk up to a contact and start some evil.

Also, more contacts like Peter Themari could help.
