    I vote we have to PAY inf to use AE after all it is in game a company that provides a service. If I go to the local arcade I have to pay to play video games why not AE?
    The obvious answer from one player to another player is, "No." We didn't nerf it the 1st time and we can't nerf it now.

    Perhaps the problem isn't with people LF AE teams.

    That's really what you think, huh?
  3. I am definitely adding some of these to my repetoire.
  4. These are some good ones.

  5. What do you say to $target with 2 black eyes? Nothing: You done told $target twice.

    $target is intimidated by Skulz.

    $target thought 'sleep with the fishes' meant hiring a Coralax ******.

    $target's mom is Jack-in-Irons.
  6. $target likes to "save the world and click on bombs."

    $target, you're an AE baby!

    $target works for RMTers!
  7. For example, the other day the world was going to end if we didn't rid the streets of all of these giant boss lizard men and then click on a bomb.
    I mean we must have saved the world 10 to 20 times that day.
    And last week the world was getting taken over by Freak show bosses and we had to clear them out of this neighborhood and then click on a bomb.
    And one time we had to clear out a ship of all of these boss ninjas and then click on a bomb.
    See look at all the stories I've done.

    I have created my own set of randomly spewed insults to accompany my Taunt power.
    However, I have very few game specific ones.

    Here's my 1st one
    Hey $target, did the Rikti forget to remove your anal probe?
    Only ones not too racy or raunchy for the GMs, please.

    Drunkenness is $target's best virtue, for swine drunk and asleep $target does little harm, save to the bedclothes.

    Four of $target's five wits went halting off, and now is the whole man governed with one.
  10. I have gotten it working and have filled it with various insults.

    Far and away the foulest and most damning come from the Bard himself.

    I have about 60 or 70 to run through. Should be more than enough as I don't spam Taunt.
  11. Thank all of you for your efforts and sharing.

    This guide assumes you have a basic understanding of the /bind command. You can find excellent guides in this
    forum for it.

    Here are the steps:


    1. You'll need the sleep.exe utility for this to run properly. You can get it here (or get all files at the link provided at the bottom of the post)

    2. Create a folder for your files (for example c:\KB) and put sleep.exe in it.

    3. Right click in the folder and create a new text file and rename the file
    to target.bat. I used this name since I wanted my battle cry to happen each time I targeted the next enemy. You
    can call it what you want.

    The key to this is the "for" line. If you want to change the the key that is bound or the function the key does you'll
    need to edit this line. Again, check the /bind FAQ for more information on the /bind command.

    Note: I used target.txt as the output. You can edit the "for" line and change target.txt to any file name you want. If you
    do, make sure you use that file name for step 6.

    Target.bat contents (the "for" line is all one line):

    @echo off

    :TOP

    for /f "delims=zzz" %%i in (phrases.txt) do (echo space "local %%i$$unselect$$toggle_enemy$$bind_load_file C:\kb\target.txt">target.txt)&&sleep 1&&echo %%i

    GOTO TOP



    4. Create a phrases.txt file in the same folder you created in step 2. This is where all of your phrases are pulled from. I
    suggest at least thirty so you don't drive your team mates crazy with the same thing over and over again.

    Example phrases.txt file:

    Now you made me mad!
    Who wants some?
    It's time to do some clobberin'!


    and so on....

    5. Run the batch job by double clicking on it and then get in the City of Heroes game.


    6. Last, bind the keybind text file in COH. For instance you would use: bind_load_file c:\kb\target.txt


    That's it! For this example every time you hit the space bar you'll get a random saying from your phrases.txt file. Just run the
    .bat file each time you get into COH and you'll have random phrases.

    If this is as clear as mud, you can always create a "C:\KB" folder and unzip the files from here .
  14. Thank you for your help.

    But, there is a way.

    It involves windows scripting of some sort.
  15. I know there's a way to have a series of random taunts bound to Taunt. But I cannot find that information anymore.

    Does anyone who has that information care to share it?

    Hope you can pick them up in time and don't happen to accidentally waste your hard earned inf.

    Good thing you're not running the risk of wasting 2 bil inf on something the seller cannot guarantee delivery of.

    Lemme know how this goes.
  19. I take a look at the end/sec of my two or three most used attacks and add those together [depending on the set].
    So far, that has been an effective and sufficient amount of end.

    I have been playing brutes not scrappers, but the principle is probably the same.
  20. If you're lukewarm on 'clickies' then WP is your choice. It has a reputation as being more of a set-it-and-forget-it set than Regen is.
  21. I am not in favor of changing Stun into a damage attack.
    EM already has plenty of single target dmg capability. Yet another one doesn't really do much for it.
    Further, upping the damage of Stun would really change the nature of the power into something else. As is, it's a great boon against the high damage boss or high magnitude mezzer (or against bosses who're trying to escape). It lasts long enough to get a stack going.
    Shortening the duration of Stun's stun would eliminate the magnitude stacking potential, which would decrease the set's boss killing power. And boss killing power is the big draw of a ST dmg set. IMHO.

    I think EM should stay a ST set.

    A tweak to Whirling Hands' chance to stun to increase the set's damage mitigation would do wonders.
    Upping the chance to say 80% then the duration could be shortened, the recharge time could be increased or the magnitude could be decreased.

    Or some combination of these to where the net effect was that for a second or two, 8 - 10 mobs in melee range were not attacking

    Well, we do drop off plague in a city. Presumably that has some non-benign consequences.

    But mostly, there's no profit in harming the 'little people'.

    Obviously YMMV
