I'm glad your giving attention to my thread, they really need to fix it asap.

The number of vines per villian increases by team size. On a team of 8, we had to clear 96 vines. On a team of 5, we only needed to clear 40 vines. Also, my team noticed that not all vines respawn. On our five man team, only 31 vines out of 40 respawned, despite a lengthy wait, (team wipe. We made the mistake of getting spread out and not clearing out all the CoT first.) Just make sure that you kill them quickly.

Our team of five (L25-27, 2 stalkers, 2 corruptors, and a mastermind), could not finish the respec trial because we couldn't kill the L29 AV, which is essentially a giant plant/thorns dominator. The AV was able to consistently two-shot my L26 corruptor in about 1-2 seconds from full health. It has a pretty nasty cone attack (fling thorns?) that hits for about 200 upfront damage with several additional 20 damage ticks of DoT damage, most or all of it toxic. It also uses an AoE immobilize, (root?).

Anyone have any tips on taking out the AV after taking out the vines?

I have successfully compleated the respec trial 4 times now, this is how we did it each time. I play a AR/Traps corruptor.

1. 2 MM 2 Cor 1 Stalker, We took a position behind some rocks out of LOS of AV, other Corruptor was /Kin he kept everyone speedboosted, MM kept summoning pets and sent them after AV no upgrading just sent them as fast as they could, Stalker would SS in AS and SS out, I kept laying traps and took care of ambushes.

2. 2 Brutes 1 MM 1 Cor MM did same as 1st time, both brutes took AV head on, I rushed in at 50% health spamming ignite and flamethrower we killed him before the ambushes could make it to us, he lasted maybe 2 min.

3. 1MM 1Brute 1 Dom 2 Cor Dom was able to keep AV dominated so we all rushed in and took him out like before he lasted maybe 2 min.

4. 2 MM 1Brute 2 Cor Again we had a /Kin cor, he stayed with the MM out of LOS of AV kept them speedboosted, MM wave attacked AV, brute went strait in, I rushed in at about 75% health this time and spammed ignite and flamethrower, again AV lasted maybe 2 min.

In all of these runs we sufferd 4-8 deaths for the total team, on one of the runs we had a team wipe from the Wyvern elite boss in the second mish because of Rain of Arrows, most deaths were from people getting to close to the AV while we were clearing vines.

I have played CoH since launch day, and I have two lvl 50's lvls 38, 35, 33 and 16, I have deleted 4 lvl 20-25's. I am finding COH very boring, I can only do the same stuff so many times, which is why I'm glad CoV came along. I will not be logging on to CoH until there is more stuff to do.

Wow, every person I have spoken with knew about the two day head start and pre-ordered the game at the right time to take advantage of it. Everyone who is purchasing it now is being told that they game is not live until the 31st, before they purchase it. I work at EB games, and in my store at least, we never let a gamer make an uniformed decision about the purchase of a game.

What a bunch of tools

You win 1 star my friend...lol...just kidding I gave you five!

I fess up, it was me. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice. I hit Virtue and Rolplaying because only RPers would take the time to notice. I did this same thing a while back on Archetypes and Powers General Discussion and no one noticed.

It's just a prank and I'm happy to see chuckles out of it instead of flames.

Yes I'm board, I work (more like babysit) 12am to 12pm Sat-Tue in an empty building with a computer that barely surfs the net.

My new scrappers is

Bu7 Sekx 4 Teh Win

Then I stand corrected, I am arrogant on this matter for I still do think it is "wrong" to RP that way in this (COH) setting.

My sig,
Read it
Know it
Love it

Praise the Stabby!!!

Maybe that's what RP is to you. Do you have the right to say what other people are doing is wrong? I don't think so... Your opinion is valid, but it becomes ignorant and arrogant when you claim that your opinion is the only one which is correct.

I'm just commenting on what I have seen in game and I know not everyone plays like this, maybe I'm wrong about what a superhereo does. If you have fun doing this more power to you I don't want to spoil your fun, I just had to get this off my chest

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, I do have the right to say what other people do is wrong (constitution, bill of rights, freedom of speech) although that is just my opinion. Is it ignorant or arrogant? Only if you dissagree with it, if you agree with it then you find it correct.

Whats your opinion on the matter? I am open minded enough to listen. Elighten me, I just might reconsider my stance.

Prisonlove sits silently on his bunk contemplating his next move. He wanted revenge for this violation of humanity. There was Shiver and Shiver owed him a favor, the price would be a carton of smokes...........

Is that so?

I've been a RPer for 16 years now and alot of what I see in game is not RPing but nonsense. If you want to stand around and chat about made up issues then play the simms ,if you want to RP a hero then make one.

I'm so glad you're here to tell us these things. I mean, my god...some of us have been playing tabletop RPG's since, what, 1985. Some of us are even LARPers. Lord knows we haven't a clue how to RP, so, gosh, I'm so happy we have someone else here to police it for us.
[ QUOTE ]
If you have to take a power for playabilites sake then do so, you can allways chose to ignore that ability when you RP or you can make up somthing different than the discription for how it works. A jet pack for super leap, who says you jump like the hulk, a invisable motor cycle for superspeed, who says you have to run that fast, wonder woman had an invisable jet.

[/ QUOTE ]
Okay, this I agree with. Not a half-bad idea. Too bad it's buried in with all this other stuff.
[ QUOTE ]
Instead they chat away hours at a time and when they do happen to do a mission there has to be a 2 hour debrief on how the mission personally affected their heroe, leangthy debate on wether the color purple looks good on them and disscusions on their RP girl/boyfriend. Shure thats fun some of the time but I see more people centering the game around that instead of the game itself. It is a game and not a chatroom or story contest right?

[/ QUOTE ]
Actually, it's all that. That and more. It's just as viable to spend all night in the Paragon Dance Party and tell your female friend about how you and your boyfriend broke up because he went and got another girl pregnant, but it's awful because she still loves him, and doesn't know what to do...then, to alleviate the stress and get an emotional outlet, step outside and beat the snot out of some offending pack of Tsoo. And really...does purple look attractive on anyone?

RP is assuming the role of somone else and even in a fantasy setting is closely related to RL

and if in RL any of my friends got as indepth about themselves as some people get indepth about thier heroes I would go crazy. Heroes take action, not stand around talking about action, save the drama for the soap operas.

If you have fun doing this more power to you I don't want to spoil your fun, I just had to get this off my chest, hopfully you will understand my point. Does this make me an ********? yes but I don't care and you shouln't eithier.

[/ QUOTE ]
If you don't care about being an ********, why are you concerned about appearing like one? I wasn't going to call you names in this post, but if you insist... j/k

Look, I realize you're probably very well-intended with this post, and I appreciate your input, as I do *MOST* of the people who post on here. There is a great deal of creativity and good information to be gleaned from these boards, and I actively enjoy reading them and learning from them. HOWEVER...anyone who starts talking about "right" and "wrong" ways to roleplay... *eyes turn white, skin turns green, clothes ripping, eerie high-pitched music playing in the background* Flat out: There is no right way to roleplay. Period. The closest you can get to "wrong" is "I act like an a-hole because my character is an a-hole so it's just him." Is it drama? Yes. Is it overwrought sometimes? Yes. If it bothers you, move on. Or, there's always the ever-popular /ignore function. Please use it; it means the rest of us RP'ers don't have to listen to you tell us how "wrong" we are.

And then, there's the positive alternative: Make some popcorn, sit down, and admit (strictly in private, to yourself, of course) that you enjoy this guilty little pleasure and watch your friends make virtual fools of themselves.

So there you have it. Is this a flame? It wasn't intended to be, but who knows? I've lost track. Am I trolling? Again, not intentionally. Did I piss you off? I do apologize; it wasn't my intent. Did I make you stop and think?

Yay me.

Very dramatic response. No I'm not pissed.........ROFL

Since our last episode Prisonlove experienced his first gangrape in the prison showers. Will he call his mother, beg big J for forgivness or pass his new experience on to other inmates?

Prisonlove sits silently on his bunk ..........((This program has been interupted to remind you that upnme is looking for a empath to assist her team in positrons task force))..........We now return you to scheduled programing.

Yes with HQ maybe things will get better It will add more flavor to the game at least!

I try to RP a hero comic book style, my SG is a well defined villian buttkicking machine. We don't have time to chat there is too many villians running amok and ruining the lives of the citizens in Paragon City. We RP amongst ourselves in battle about tactics and the next mission. We don't have time for coffee.

Romance? whats a better way for a tank to say "I love you" then provoking the villians to attack him instead.

lol i laugh at his ignorance

[/ QUOTE ]

Why did you even reply to his post? I'm shure insulting him is going to change his mind or open it to RPing.

"A wise man is aware of his ignorance"

Everyone is ignorant, no matter how educated.

Go ahead and flame away, feed the trolls. I'm doing my part to keep them full too.

Prisonlove was sitting in his cell as usual, board he pulled out his laptop and started crusin the COH forums. The best way he could think of to kill some time, he had plenty to kill anyway.

Welcome to my world bub. Day after day of mindless violence and lots of time to think about all the horrible things I've done in my life, the things that got me here.

Anyway, inbetween the riots and gangraping I like to escape from my world and play a little COH, it helps the time go by.

If people want to RP that way let them. As stated before if you don't like it then leave. Not everone plays the game the same way, and nobody is dumb for not wanting to RP in a MMORPG.

Just because someone [censored] swears dosn't mean their [censored] stupid or a dumb [censored]. There just words, [censored] , the word [censored] has many meanings and can be used in many different ways. [censored] is probably the most versitile [censored] word in the entire mother [censored] english language.

As far as heros not swearing, the Punisher was a Marine, yeah he probably used proper english in the Corp. Wolverine probably cusses like a sailor, that is before the comic book reaches the editors desk.

I know this game is rated T for TEEN, but I'm not a teen. Not everyone is going to settle for TEEN behavior (or what is falsly presented as TEEN behavior). You joined their team so there is no griefing on their part, hanging around and being offended when you have the choice to leave is griefing yourself. Then you complain that they were "taking it too far", thats for them to decided.

Just because you disagree with somthing dosn't mean it's wrong.*

I would like to see some numbers on the Ice Armor powerset please.

At first thought, the obvious alternative is Dark/Dark. That secondary has 2 ROOTs and 1 KNOCK. Meanwhile MENTAL has 1 HOLD, 2 ROOTs and 2 KNOCKs.

[/ QUOTE ]

I just wanted to point out that 1 of Dark Blasts roots is an AOE cone and that Dark Blast also debuffs Acc and Dmg. If a mob is not rooted or held but can swing all day long and not hit you, is that not also a form of control?
