  1. if she was younger than 23 right now people would be angry about her outfit being inappropriate for her age instead
  2. almost every addition to the market is available on the beta server for no cost at some point, which is something to be considered before you buy something on live for actual points, provided the beta server is open

    and i think the beta server has been open for at least a month or two? something around there

    i test drove street justice, titan weapons and beam rifle along with the costume packs and just about everything else and as a result i found out which items i want to buy and which ones i don't.

    How in God's name do you get a toon to 50 in 6 hours without using an exploit of some sort?

    yeah this is obviously what that means

    also server merge

    and they're getting rid of the markets too

    how will we survive oh noooo
  5. If I'm trying to softcap S/L on a Corruptor, I'll take Mace Mastery. Besides that, though, not really.

    How could I make a dom WITHOUT Sleet?
  6. As far as I know, yes. I'm dumb, though, so I'm not sure if that's accurate.

    I'm going to amd and searching for my driver and then downloading what comes up. Problems still persist.
  7. Since I'm having frustrating trouble with the mac version of CoH, I thought I'd just go back to playing CoH on windows via bootcamp. I recently upgraded to Windows 7, so I had to install the game again. When I start it up, I'm greeted by a constantly flashing screen.

    The game still functions, up to a point. I can log in and select a character, but once I enter the game I'm unable to click on anything. Back when I was using XP, I didn't have any problem whatsoever, and I haven't changed anything besides going to Windows 7 since then.

    Here's the CoH Helper info, if it's needed:

    Yep, this is the problem exactly.

    I'm using an iMac, and it says it's version 10.6.6. Snow Leopard, I think?

    I'll try those out to see if they do anything, thanks.

    EDIT: Nope, still getting it. And it's not only confined to windowed mode anymore, either. It's happening when I'm running the game in fullscreen as well.
  10. My plant/earth is my baby. I have about 180% recharge on her, which makes great powers like Seeds, Carrion Creepers and Seismic Smash recharge in the blink of an eye. Having Carrion Creepers for about every spawn is pretty amazing.

    Since plant is so heavy on control, I didn't even try to build for defense and went straight for damage. With fire, however, you're pretty low on control, so it would be a good idea to softcap to S/L.
  11. Ever since I19 or so, my computer decides to freeze up when opening menus. Namely, the badge menu, contact menu, player info, and clicking on contacts and bringing up the dialogue window freezes it as well. It doesn't happen all of the time, but it seems to only freeze while I'm in windowed mode, and only after I've been on the game for about 10 minutes.

    If I avoid opening these menus I can play just fine, but, seeing as I like to dualbox some of my toons, this is really annoying.

    Anyone have a solution?
  12. I really only use the +recharge one. It's really nice for keeping up permadom/perma AM.
  13. What I did to survive was playing aggressively. Very aggressively. My main strategy was "hold a problem enemy, kill the rest before they kill you", which is admittedly hard to do before you get a few attacks in you.

    If you're dying too much, fill up half your inspiration inventory with purples and the other half with greens. If he's regenerating too fast, stock up on reds. This isn't hard.

    Personally, I think the TW talk is part of Triumph's excellent 5 star++ would play again community, but it's is bound to rub someone the wrong way. You guys just talk more than anyone else so you're probably spammers to the wrong-rubbed people. Although I wonder why someone that finds that bad would play on a server famous for being pantless.

    Yeah, TW is more about forming TFs and other shenanigans rather than regular teaming. But even if you did want to team, I don't think you'd have problems putting one together with some patience.

    You also should've ignored Tam and -Cancer(assuming these are the "spammers" you were talking about) if they bothered you, which is likely.

    Really? I picked it up and thought it was pretty lackluster compared to Mass Hypnosis.
  18. I was pretty comfortable with ~145% recharge with Hasten, presonally. But it did require me to pay attention to when Domination was blinking, so I knew to queue it so it wouldn't drop.

    My Plant/Earth is at 168% recharge and it has much more room for error than ~145% did.
  19. Why are we looking for damaging primaries on Doms? Isn't that what your assault set is for? My Mind/Fire does a ton of damage and none of it comes from her primary.

    APPs, OMG ^^

    Woah, really? That's radical. Since my Doms usually have pretty high recharge, this won't hurt em much.

    Yeah, I don't really see all the new APP's staying the way they are for long.
    Oh yeah. Having Sleet being a straight port from the Corr version is waaaay OP. If(when) they nerf it, I do hope they still give it respectable numbers and not something completely useless.

    For the time being, I'm going to level up my Mind/Fire like a boss so I can experience Sleet before the devs hit it.

    Pretty sure that's WAI. Same thing happens with loading screens. No actual effect when you enter the game, though.

    Controllers really don't have access to any attacks until they get their Ancillary pools, so I don't have a problem with their powers being better.
