Thanks for the quick reply, trying to download the toolkit from Microsoft. Estimated time left 10 days! It's only 11MBs

Gone up to 14 days now

Anyone know how I can get rid of the UAC prompt (without turning UAC off) which asks me if I want to run cohupdater.eu.exe?

Why are the exe's in the CoX signed?

The UAC prompt tells me an unidentified program wants to access my system, at least when it's signed the "unidentified" bit disappears.

Make use of your alternate build so that you can do both Human and Triform as you level. You will find the different builds will work better in different situations.

When leveling my PB I found the powers I liked initially weren't the ones I liked when I got to 50. There are many powers you can choose so I had many respec's until I finally found the right build for my play style. Some powers won't actually start to be worthwhile until they are slotted so you might slot something and think "this is great" on the other hand you may come the conclusion that the power is a bit cack.

All people can do when looking at your build is point out the obvious flaws and maybe help a little with the slotting, other than that it is all down to how you want to play your PB.

Make sure you set up some binds, especially so that TAB will focus on quants and voids. If you are using multiple forms then binds are useful for changing trays when changing forms and also if you click human you drop the form and start up your shields automatically.

I've had problems logging in this morning, although the server status is "up" i couldn't connect to the login server ... maybe there should be a status for the login server as well

I just tried soloing with a 6 man virtual team size and it was amazing. It was like playing a different game

Very impressed.

Just had a great time soloing on scrapper (+0 lvl, 6 team size). 40 minutes later I had gained 3 bars at lvl 49.

The best thing was how much fun it was. Before these difficulty options soloing was a chore but no more!

Thank you for the guide, I feel a respec or two coming on!

the server status is showing that they are back up although can't login as yet.

Shouldn't the login server be on the list of servers?

same discussion going on the US forums, just with more responses: https://boards.cityofheroes.com/show...umber=13704313

You just named three of the ones that I want

I will get cheaper sets until I can afford them. It might take a little while but I will get there eventually.

A little tip to anyone doing a build using Set IO's: Unless you got like 1.5+ billion inf sitting there you might want to check the prices of the recipes/enchancements before respeccing.

I wasn't expecting 150mil for 1 recipe there are still 4 to get in that set and another 5+ sets to go. At least the other sets are considerably cheaper.

I think completing this build really will give a great deal of satisfaction!!

Just managed to log into defiant and I got a badge too

Just a warning on set bonuses, you can only have 5 of a specific bonus active as additional ones of that size and type don't count!

(Checkable in Mids btw.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Can you use the same IO set more than once, I take it the bonuses just stack until you reach that 5 limit?

[ QUOTE ]
Sure, it's more complex than doing a standard build, but I don't think it's too difficult to adjust to if you're interested in it.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's good, it's definitely preferable to the days without IO and the sets. You need a lot more knowledge and inf to be able to do the build but I think it will be much more satisfying once it is actually complete.

I've been playing for a month now after a long break, i've got a lot of catch up to do.

This makes doing a new build very complicated. Depending if I can get hold of (afford) certain sets will determine how many slots I need to use in powers ....

Not sure what's happening with G, haven't spoken to him in a while

Hi

If I were to get some set bonuses so that a certain attribute such as accuracy was boosted by 40% would that be equivalent of me putting 40% Acc enhancement in each power?

Thanks

Hi Guys,

Can you take a look at my build and see if you can see anything that could cause me problems?

I am looking for a mostly human alternate build which I hope will be a little better when soloing. I'm lvl 48 at the moment.

Any advice will be most welcome, i've come back after a long break so quite a few things have changed.

Thanks

Arms

Wow, that really doesn't sound very pleasant.

I just want a server where I can get into groups a little more easily and see people actually running about.

There are just too few people about these days.

Hi

Does anyone have a US account?

If so can you recommend a server?

EDIT: I have no interest in PVP

I would like one with a few EU peoples if possible.

Thanks

Arms

That's the one, thanks very Carnifax for that unbelievably quick response

Hi All,

It's been a long time since I played, I forgotten lots and the things I remember seemed to have changed.

I remember having this 3rd Party tool which would tell me how long a power would take to recharge and how long powers would last for. Does anyone know the program I talking about?

I remember it being very useful playing the PB when turning into that ball of energy thingy as when that power ran out bad things happend to my endurance.

Thanks

Arms

depends how you use it , without proper aggro control is can be a instant face plant

[/ QUOTE ]

I have done the faceplanting bit many times, many many times. I sometimes wish there was a self rez somewhere I could get.

I just get a bit over confident now and again. The debt does go very very quickly though.

1. Flash Fire
2. Firecages
3. Run into center of group
4. FS
5. Fireball
6. stand around for a few seconds ...

doing this with carnies can be a little dangerous due to them being defeated all at he same time and then all my toggles dropping because of the end drain.

I normally turn Hot Feet on when I start the mission, then on again when i get mez'd. Transfusion is used quite frequently.

Many different ways of doing things, mines here ... but it really depends on how you like to play. i've teamed with many pb's who have quite different playstyles and therefore slotting. they're not better or worse just different.

only difference with what i have posted is the 41 power i took at 49 and then shifted the other powers down, 44=41 47=44 ...

There are many builds in this section of the forum, just look back through the posts or do a search in the controller forum.

Foxmaiden's Ultimate Fire Control Guide

you can't buff the damage of Phantom Army with, so you may want to add 1-2 damage and 1-2 acc definatly use six slots for PA.

the phant don't need the recharge really as he is perma, again use acc and damage. You'll be able to buff him up to.

Air sup with containment does quite a reasonable amount of damage so may want to add a few more slots if you can find some to spare.

Blind is worth taking ASAP, it is a good single target hold and sets up containment. You can leave flash until your 20's as it is only really effective with SO's. Blind and Flash are your only two powers to setup containment.

Deceive I personally wouldn't take, this is very much a personal choice.

Siphon speed i'd say put three recharge and at least two acc just so you get the fastest recharge on all your powers.

health, just keep that with the default slot and use the other slots elsewhere.

that's about all i can think of at the moment.
