I've been eyeing up a couple of toons to transfer to Freedom for some PVP goodness, but before I do, I'd like some input. I'm considering a Sonic/Dark Corruptor, and an Ice/Cold Corruptor. Are these competetive in PVP? And how are Psychic Blast/Energy Manipulation blasters faring?

Satanic hamster?

Sure it isn't this guy?

Bosses in "defeat boss" objectives will not perform emotes assigned to them.

I'm not sure if this is the relevant forum, but bosses in "defeat boss" objectives for MA missions will not perform emotes assigned to them.

But invuln is not forced to slot for as much kb protection. Or take acro like /Fire has to.

[/ QUOTE ]

Without taking Acro, how much knockback protection would a Brute have to slot in order to be protected from, say, KO Blow knockup in PVP? Unyielding alone doesn't seem to do the trick.

Desecrator will be back for another shot at some IO's ...

I mean fun! A shot at fun!!!

An awesome recipe that I would really like to slot, but I couldn’t pass on 400 million. Now, how many more people do I have to kill to get another one?
Thanks!

[/ QUOTE ]

Woah! Someone hand him another one - he's threatening to kill people!

All joking aside, what I would do is take 200 of that 400 and invest it in another Panacea Unique. It might take a while, but you'll probably pick it up eventually and you'll still be 200 mil richer.

Boy would an updated MIDS Hero Designer, with DR measured and PVP IO's included, help that process along ...

The Titan Network is working on it. There's a slight hurdle, but we're moving forward.

Sorry to hear Mids is stepping down, but I'm sure he's placed it in capable hands. Best wishes, Mids.

With so many redundant (and large!) set bonuses for purples, diminishing returns starts to become an issue after slotting a few powers. For my PVP build (which I haven't finalized yet) I plan to check when DR starts to set in for certain bonuses then start slotting PVP IO's instead.

Slows are pretty effective against me too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Blessing of the Zephyr, a Universal Travel Power IO set, has slow resists, and Winter's Gift has it as well. Some PVP sets have it too.

The only ranged attack that I have is my neme staff, and KO blow if I can get close enough.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hurl should help -fly the fliers, although they can still superspeed away. But I just Taunt their range down and Hurl/Nem Staff them, while setting them to follow (click "f") and Combat Jumping (see below).

[ QUOTE ]
Should I get Fly instead of Super Jump? Is there a way to get Immob protect at the Sirens call lvls?

[/ QUOTE ]

Since you have Superjump, you may have Combat Jumping as a prerequisite power. This resists immobilization, but won't overcome the -jump from Web Grenade. The plus side is it isn't affected by Travel Suppression.

The Rikti have extraordinarily advanced boogie skills.

How could they remove the chicken tug??? This completely screws up all of my fantastic RP arcs! Why do the devs hate RP??? I pay $15/month, I should be able to play the way I want! If this change is permanent, I may have to cancel my account! We'll see how long CoX lasts THEN!

[/ QUOTE ]

It is truly a sad, sad day when a player can't tug his chicken in the privacy of his own home.

Squirrel Attack powers.

Imagine a power like Gang War but unleashing a hoard of rabid leaping squirrels in numbers to make your graphics card groan under the strain.

Unlikely I guess.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, I was gonna mention a Swarm Mastermind. Picture contolling an army of rats like Willard. Or engulf an enemy in swarms of bees or bats.

OK, maybe I'm a sadist at heart ...

I wonder what would happen if the devs made it so custom enemy groups required a minimum of 1 minion, 1 lieut, and 1 boss. I'm sure there would still be farming, but it might die down somewhat.

I would like to alter the appearances and powers of existing (standard) enemy groups. I realize this isn't possible with the critter creator, but which enemy groups' appearances do you think it would be possible to mimic using the critter creator (i.e. make a custom critter that looks like an existing COX enemy group)?

My plan is to make critters that look like existing groups but with slight appearance or power differences.

I'd love it if the new version color coded Diminishing Returns for PVP the way it color codes for Diminishing Returns when slotting. It would take much of the confusion out of slotting for PVP these days.

Bug Description: Bosses in a Defeat Boss objective will not use designated emotes, instead doing the "waving for the enemy to bring it on, while punching my palm" emote. Even when I've assigned powersets without toggle powers, they still will not use emotes I've assigned to them.

Woah, I never knew this.

Devs, is this working as intended?

[/ QUOTE ]

In my experience, it depends on whether the boss has activated a power or not. If they've got a power they'll activate without provocation, such as an armor toggle, they won't go back to the designated animation, getting stuck in the fist-punch. If they don't have anything they'll activate without a target, they'll stay in the animation the creator selects.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah, I tried that. Still doesn't work with bosses in "defeat boss" objectives, even without toggles.

My no.1 highlight is probably the time i spent with HDS in the month before Hamidon first fell. That was a total blast. Though it was a great feeling of saticfaction when he was finally beat, the really fun part was the countless hours spent in the hive just trying to figure out a way to beat him senseless with alot of great players.

HDS, like them or not, was a group full of alot of great players, that wanted to have fun. Like all groups it suffered from some internal strife toward the end, but its still some of my best memories playing with those people.[/QUOTE]

Same. I'll always be proud to have played a part in HDS.

[ QUOTE ]
My second most notable friend/buddy would be Pickle. She was a constant friend in game. She was one of the most knowledgable players in game, she played to have fun. She is also the one in HDS that finally noticed that her combat logs showed a application of Char hitting hamidon that made us concentrate on holding him to avoid the mitos spawns. But overall for a long time she gave me my reason to log in, pick a new alt and play and have fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah Pickle was one of the most genuinely kind players I've ever had the pleasure of teaming with. Has anyone heard from her recently?

[ QUOTE ]
And oldly enough alot of my most fun came from the agruments(just how i roll) so in that way i would draw attention to .

CandiMan
Most all the Freaks
Drac-x
All the Accolades (if anyone recalls them)

[/ QUOTE ]

Ha, I'm a patient guy, but even I had a run-in with Candi from time to time. And the Accolades were one of the most unintentionally funny SG's ever.

[ QUOTE ]
Oh and well if Drac was the first one to earn his name back, then i guess i was the second. That was a fun time also.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wonder if there's any hope for bringing back Violator ...

Is buying levels, or badges next?

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, I'd like to see a badge that costs 100 real dollars. Name the badge "Moron".

Having the same problem here. Going from memory, I'm missing 1-2 assigned slots on Liberty and two unassigned slots as well.

I was going to delete an alt to free up a slot, but from what I'm hearing it sounds like the slot won't reappear.

You know why they didn't show a graphically violent scene involving Statsman? That's right, because there are no graphically violent scenes involving Statesman.

It never ceases to amaze me just how deceptive our "moral saviors" can be. But it also never ceases to amaze me how well reason and thought can kick their tails. I'm glad to see that critical thinking is a skill common to most of people posting responses to this "documentary".

However, I expect to see this film praised on Fox News any day now.
