  1. heh well the kin only has this massive heal that can go off every 2secs? That might explain something...Also you know how it can attack faster, move faster, and ultimately kill faster contributes as well...

    As for the OP Question: ranged def on the blaster, and pref something like fly/hover.

    Thanks to everyone that participated and to base builders as a whole

    I must say, judging these bases was very difficult and a lot of fun. It was a real treat to get to see what people could come up with and the methods in which they did it in, not to mention time frame -- all of course with fixed funding.

    Major props to the builders!!

    As MP said, we will definitely be back soon™ with another event for builders and more to come after that.
  3. Usually people act pretty funny as if you are going to rip them off or something... Kind of annoying, but I don't really blame them... Though I find it's pretty easy to win them over and complete the trade just as Masque posted.

    Mostly just this:

    Be up-front and say something if you think there may be a problem. If the person has been around a few years or has plenty of forum posts, they have enough invested in the game that they're not likely to screw you. If they have no vet badges and only have a few forum posts, all offering billions for rare IOs, then be worried. Ask for payment up front.
    And honestly you aren't really going to know for sure, just be sure to keep up your end of the deal

    Why Knockback?

    In terms of earth control...

    I'd slot earthquake for -to hit and recharge (I'm a fan of dark watcher). -def is going to come to fast it's practically not worth slotting for this particular power.

    The knockdown portion of it is nice, not only are they on their back, they also have -to hit when they actually get up. Turning the KD into KB is a very bad idea for teams, you might be keeping them from attacking just as you could with KD, but you are completely destroying AoE dmg since everything is so far apart.

    Another thing about making use of it... If one of your teammates has KB, you can still use the power in junction with your AoE Immob, that way you still get the debuffs, control, and damage -- without making the mob scatter to the four winds. Granted you do not get the KD, I think it's a nice pay off for being able to still kill them quickly.
  9. $5 consumables ... hmm I think not!

    Cool idea though

    HOW TO ACCESS THE TRAINING ROOM TEST SERVER WITH A PC

    In order to access the test server, you will need to download and install a second copy of the game that installs the test files to your PC. The steps for this process are outlined below.

    Using the NCsoft Launcher:
    1. Make a copy of the NCsoft Launcher shortcut by right-clicking it and choosing Create shortcut.
    2. Right-click on the new shortcut and choose Properties.
    3. In the "Target:" field, click the cursor at the very end of the line after the quotation mark and add /LaunchGame=CohTest. Be sure to add a space before the "/". The full line should look like the following depending on the location of the NCsoft Launcher.
    4. "C:\Program Files (x86)\NCsoft\Launcher\NCLauncher.exe" /LaunchGame=CohTest
    5. Click OK to accept the change, and double-click the altered shortcut. Click Install when prompted to install City of Heroes Test. The City of Heroes test client will begin installing.

    Magic Staff

    Yeah that would pretty awesome... Sadly they would have to go through quite the number of powers and make new animations, maybe they might do that if they ever go back and updated the VFX for powers...
  14. So after today's patch, 10-19, I login to see that my character list is blown up, practically covering my character that normally stands to the right of it. Then I go to the tailor....



    So uh what's the deal here?

    The image is not the actual size of my screen, but none the less that is what it looks like... I usually run stacks of clients on both sides of my screen (1920x1200) and I modified UI to match the window size and it works great... until today. Obviously all the rest is fine, just any kind of tailor or character select.
  15. The Player Event Resource Committee would like to thank all of the players who submitted an entry to compete in Design Challenge - Bases on a Budget! We were extremely pleased to receive 41 entries. Rather than eliminating one player, we felt it best to extend one of the categories to eleven for maximum competition. It was extremely enjoyable to read the short essays on why people wanted to enter and view the gorgeous base screen shots that many players submitted. There are many passionate Base Builders and it will be amazing to see what can be done on a small budget!

    Contestants were asked to rank their preference of category they would like to compete it, PERC is very pleased to say that every contestant will be given their first choice to build!

    Not based on functionality? At all? What's the point of a base if you can't tp to all zones or use empowerment buff stations or craft?

    I must be missing something.
    It's all about what you can do with the time and prestige, look at some of the examples in the category section.



  20. The Player Event Resource Committee Presents:
    Design Challenge - Bases on a Budget



    This is a contest to test your creativity, skill, and talent at base design! We want to see what you can do on a limited time and prestige budget. Forty designers will be chosen to compete, ten per category.

    Are you ready to prove that you are a great base designer?




    There are four categories in which contestants will be selected to compete.
    1. Arcane/Magic (examples: Enchanted Tiki Room or Magic Rainforest)
    2. Technology/Science (examples: Mad Scientist’s Lab or Spaceship)
    3. Modern/Livable (examples: High Rise Apartment or Dorm Room)
    4. Freestyle/Player Choice (examples: Farm, Jungle, or Candy Factory)

    • Anyone who wishes to compete may enter by filling out a short form linked at the bottom of the post.
    • Contestants will be chosen based on creativity of their answers, passion for designing, and skill level.
    • Entrants may choose to link up to 3 screen shots of previous base work.
    • Having previous base building experience is not a requirement; a variety of contestants will be chosen.
    • You will be asked to rank (1 least to 5 most) the categories in which you would like to compete in. We will attempt to accommodate each player’s first choice as much as possible. Players will only compete in 1 category.
    • Entries will be accepted until October 14th. Contestants will be selected by October 21st and will be invited into bases that week.
    • Contestants will be posted on the forums and will be notified individually via email.

    • Each contestant will be given a base to design. Each base will have exactly 300k prestige.
    • Contestants may not do anything to earn or buy more prestige for the super group. Part of the challenge of this contest is designing on a tight budget.
    • Peacebringers are recommended to use as the base designer for the use of fly. If you do not have that option, please request influence for a jet pack.
    • Any player who does not have access to Paragon Rewards base items may request that a PERC Rep drop them off in the base.
    • Contestants may design up to three rooms.
    • Design/Building time will end on November 15th.

    • Judges will tour bases between November 15th and 22nd.
    • Contestants may choose to be present for the tour to explain details of the base design.
    • Each category will be judged independently.
    • Bases will be judged on: creativity, theme, difficulty, flow/cohesion, and overall aesthetics. Bases will not be judged on functionality (power, control, etc.)
    • One winner and up to two honorable mentions will be selected per category.


    Per Category
    • 1st place - 2 billion influence, a Gold title for the character of choice, and a special Costume Code
    • Honorable Mentions - 500 Million influence
