tsk, g33ks. when i learned html i used some online tutorials, got as far as fonts, aligning and breaks and am still just as good as i was when i stopped bothering... lol indeed. but at least i can write the code

IoP is a different TF botty, we did the 2nd strike force which is 1 of the 2 available in the base, this gives a badge and is the one linked to black scorpian (through his minion person). the IoP trial is the cathedral of pain one, we will do that next no doubt

SF went great, apart from 3 main problems, 1 was that e lost botty via DC, second was that i was exhausted from the off due to usual reasons and i had literally just walked off the respec on CoH, 3rd was that the AV wiped the team out due to the difficulty of negotiating the last map, turret objects and the AV hitting hard.

props to all who came along, there will be many more, again sorry i was far from on the ball. thanks to G for teh h3alz

Dark Pride (as Dr Empathy) needs the 3rd respec on CoH so please let me know when is good for you online at some point and we can plough through it etc.

on a brighter note, i just cokked about 300 g of pasta shells, wacked a tub of tomato and mascarpone sauce and 2 tins of tuna and its going down rather well. bonza.

o and before i forget, Drew, the hero SG is set to accomodate 2 alts (main+alt+all 50s) per person, soon we will do this to the VSG but not jsut yet as there is no need and ppl are picking mains etc.

got a feeling there is an epic discussion a few pages down, personally i recommend elec for the hold (equiv to char but with added drain) and shields.

to detoggle simply pick your 1st 2 melee attacks from your secondary.

Plight

just a note, u dont really need to slot tp for anything, 1 endred will do, or a range, u can cover most maps with 1 bar of end without stamina, if you are fire or elec and can sap end you can cover any map really, if u have stamina then the same, also conserve power and bosot range will make tp a rather insane travel power, it has the faster MPH when travels first become available and is still fast at hgiher leveles if u dont suffer from much system lag.

i recommend fly for the ranged thing, but also leaping offer mez protection later on, and SS is, well, fast. in pvp tho, a blaster with flight is generally superior.

Plight

too true, im only half elec epic mind, no use for teh oth0rz so to speak

Plight

have a star

while i feel for you as fire was already the weakest blaster in terms of survivability, the way your post reads is not ideal, it doesnt come across too great tbh.

fire always relied on doing huge dmg and killing was its only utility, but thats gone it seems, if you are in the 40s you should definately have char.

as for the nerfed stamina, i presume you are fire secondary too, well consume will sort your endurance out no probs, apparently it has a base recharge of 180 s which is 3x that of power sink, but with stamina you should do ok by adding an end reducer to each attack. i suggest 3 recharge reduces, 3 end modifiers in consume, if you dont have this power, there may be something dramatically 'wrong' with your blaster (imo of course).

as for nerfed hover, well i dont think hover was ever meant to be fast, and now it isnt, shame but true, 3 slotted is still ok tho i reckon.

and if you quit, i dont think NC will mond unfortunately.

Plight

well done Sin

all the foci and elements you refine things into are used to make basic items, the item you made is one way of capturing an IoP in a raid.

on the next bench, and the final bench there are 2 more types of component, essentially the same as elements and foci, but afaik made from more advanced salvage, these will give rise to higher end forgeable items, and i presumet he same for the top end forges too.

if you have base edit persissions, you can drop the table, pout a tech workbench in and refine your own and otehrs tech items to clear space in your inventory, you can only carry 20 of most types of salvage i think, its not totally clear to me yet tho. make sure you put the tables back tho or i will be stropping

also i bet it was sin that deleted our 1st reclamator that never worked anyway lol, no wonder when i was explianing to some1 where it was they couldnt see it nvm now tho

tonight 8 30 pm is the latest time i have for this SF as both fro and G have young kids to put to bed at 8.

safe safe

true quilla, also true above that only 2 beacons can be attached per base tper, but anyone with base edit rights can swap these at will anyways. not sure how many telepads u can put in a tp room, but if its 3 say, then u can have 6 destinations at any one time.

On the other hand, tech equipment seems to run perfectly well on magic power and control. (Hence why we have iMacs.)

Just buy tech teleporters until the arcane ones are ready.

my toon is 50 and has been in sgmode since i6 launch, he has 60M inf and has given away as much over the last 8-9 months, so theres no shortage of inf abotu for sure.


[/ QUOTE ]

You got to 50 before I6 so had stacks of inf. So did I. New players dont have that luxury, seeing as they stop gaining influence around level 35. Did you have enough influence on your very first run through of the game to see you to level 50 if you stopped gaining in your 40's? I sure as hell didn't.

[/ QUOTE ]

that depends what u mean by seeing myself to lvl 50? if you mean +3 SOs all the time then no, but at certain lvls i got a few forumites i was getting to know to give me a hand, and i remember those ppl when i see their alts, and i remember then when i meet a nice newbie, i throw em a few hundred k to see em on their way into the DOs. i shopped at 12, 17, 22, 27, 32, 37, 42, 47 and 50 only, as i had already been most of the way to 50 befrore my EU toons, this stood me in good stead, and from the 27 mark i had a full set of SOs with some help, and from then on with no help iirc.

now if u mean could i afford to play happily through without help, then yes i could, my lvl 23 ice ice dom is happily helping teams, with some TOs, some DOs and a few blank/expired slots and hasnt bought a single enhancement yet. sure he may be gimped vs a min maxed SOd dominator, but in teams hes ok, his biggest problem is aggroing too much even without SOs, with them im sure i would do far more dmg (not enough to save myself mind) and get more aggro.

anyways, its nice to see that inf is now something you have to really work for, the whole enh drop/inf system was a joke, and States admitted that they were not happy with the way the drop system worked out etc.

o yeah, and i dont drink, but i'll join u all with happy chocolate shake or a pint of robinsons blacky C

about 4 hours i bet, i knwo the plastics took 5 odd hours to get to the AV with only a few of them, so i imagine 3-4 hours with a team of 6-8. we will need a corr so i'm looking at G, also he cant start til 8 cos of his kids. input pls.

note, there is also a graveyard shift from about 3-6 am most nights with enough of us to do it maybe, but i know they tend not to read here yet : /

Plight

well my 1st death of the day (i had about 5 in a few hours ) resulted in awaken, the 2nd i went to the base (arcane reclaimator), this ported me and another back to the mission door, but all subsequent ports we to a random spot in the pit in shark head. so maybe its 1 time then ur screwed bug?

Plight

dreamer, well thats a bit poo isnt it, hmmm. is it tech tpers or tech med reclaimators that are bugged?

botty, either go backa few pages of this thread to master zap's link for a list on his site, or click a forge and it will tell u all buildable items and their requirements, i agree, but actually, the generator we have provides 1000 units of power, its control we lack, but we can delete forges at will to get this back, also my floating giant friend helps with control.

redline, fanks mate yeah i look like that, will be looking like that tonight at another gig too used to be heavier and a tad mroe imposing, look a bit more like all i can be bothered to eat is omelettes now (got 1 infront of me actually).u'll have to give us a link to ur fave track, we can compare

what day do lvl 20+ people want to do the 2nd SF from the base computer? how about monday at 7pm?

Plight

just as a thought, thoght id let people know who havent seen the bae whats going on, we did have entrance, med, trol, power and work rooms, but we dropped the med room to get the cash to finish the other 3, so now we have items for control, power and a basic and intermediate forge, these can be dropped to put an advanced in if needed then reinstated but i dont really see the need yet tbh, not that i understand it all.

to use the forge, wander up and click it, this will let u simply refine 2-4 ish items of salvage from 1 group into another item called a foci or element, as far as i can gather, all subsequent items (at least at this level or production) are made from combos of these 2, this is also a way to compress your salvage i believe, but theres prolly somereason we should honto onto some basic salvage . this costs no prestige to do, but if you make an item to place in the base it costs prestige to place.

props to Meddler (AKA elec-fro, volt bolt) for manaaging to make the SG computer all on his own, this is now placed in the control room and will dish out missions to a team of 4+ who are lvl 20+, the AV is hard though, so be careful team (apparently). we can also do the cathedral of pain trial, this is for an IoP i believe, but we cant get it until i sort out some vaults and anchors.

u silly deviants. i should be there if im not asleep of course the long range debuff tactics with snipes and range slotted attacks can work, with enough buffs u can get a good way to the dmg cap anyways. mitos still need usual clearing, maybe mito clearing should be left to ranged ppl only now to save the confusion of whos targeting what, the melee ATs huddle can throw you sometimes etc and it would help with the max particle count issues. just a thought.

i hope this wasnt a dig at the SG rather than CoH altogether? our sg isnt dead, its quiet, but when 5 or 6 of us still get on together without planning and do some mishs/pvp then meh. anyways, when we get ppl organised we will have CoH > CoV days i think, i hope

Plight

P.S. if you were talking about the heroes in general, well yeah, but this kinda makes the people tighter in some ways, Nightbringer needed me for a madame AV the other day, and i shouted some help and we got another 6 to come which was great, hadnt seen some of them for a while either (Hammerfall). but im looking on the + side i spose

i have tp, so said tactic (or unsaid) doesnt really bother me. and /stuck ftw maybe?

i go to warburg enough to have the badge for 5 hours there, and i think ive had it a while, not sure when i even got it.

i tend to go steal codes from ppl there, risk reward etc. pvp is massively unbalanced and as such a far great challenge than any mission or AV i ever fought.

3 slotted hover is well worth it if u want some manoeuverability in pvp, ewsp if u are a /nrg blsater or /ice dom as they get power boost which adds more than 100% base flight speed to it.

and as emp said, heroes can and do fight in warburg, much to the dismay of most of them when im there even tho my own sg mates tend to smack me down a bit there

and with so many (2 ish) brutes running perma missions there then the herovs villain stats are crazy and the one buffs mean rthat heroes take a pounding

Plight

P.S. Mikey Lockdown and co, i was just getting into the spirit of pvp when i stole all your launch codes btw, nothing personal, you ar good peopl

i wont show u the old site that never got set up it wasnt my doing tho

as ivbe said aload oftimes, the majority of the SG is ingame only, and its nigh on impossible to get them to read this 1 (and the HSG) thread, a site to look at would be cool, we could keep a record of whos who on there, and tbh a mini prfiling/alt linking system WOULD be cool, but i dont want there to be some need to trawl websites just to be part of the group, it owuld mainly be an archive i believe.

imagine the front page, HEROES WHAT!? sewer trial for all the 36+ heroes tomorrow at 7 pm
i dont think we are that organised, but we'll see.

im still waiting for someone to suggest a time and tf fro the heroes to do, i personally think that the 1st respec set to invincible with 4 50s and 4 SKs would be insane fun, and i do check my hero every day to try n keep heroes going! i just hope we can nail some TFs together soon (SG base trial anyone?) as these are some of the best times ive had!.

keep up the good work folks

(how hard would it be to have system like crey industries where u can put ur own heroes etc once granted permission by one of the leaders? would be nice, although i would blatently get G or some1 to take my pics as my puter is poop (those that have seen my SU toos on crey industries will knwo this ))

wasnt a dig at u the pest, i dont think, it was adig at w hingers in general, i read a few things on here that i see coming up a lot of the time ithink when i posted that, i tend not to pick on 1 poster, and just generally go off about what have picked up on in athread wheter there is something to reply to or just things i think or have thought before.

a smaller sg in theory will hang about for loner as they are tighter, so its nice that they have an ongoing project other than makingloads of alts

i agree that most games have things to channel currency into, but here u dont need inf other than for alts or newbies in ur sg, so by choosing sgmode u are filtering to something useful, tbh as a lvl 40 odd character u shouldnt feel the pain of losing inf income, at 50, this shouldnt even be an issue other than for above reasons.

my toon is 50 and has been in sgmode since i6 launch, he has 60M inf and has given away as much over the last 8-9 months, so theres no shortage of inf abotu for sure.

Plight

i dont see why a soloist should be able to get the same as kind of scale base as a whole SG, i think tht if you want to do it yourself then a month or 2 of hard work is nothing to ask, as compared to EVE ebfore, other MMOGs take years to develop something this long term, e.g. player owned structures in EVE, jedi status in SWG etc.

i dont think we shouldbe forced to team, and we arent imo, if you want to solo, play a solo AT, adn dont expect a large base. the sum of of the parts is far less than all the individuals alone, and thats what a group is about, like any large scale business or social group.

as for cheap decorative rooms, these can be used tactically so shouldnt be too cheap of course.

i agree its expensive, but only realy in previous CoH terms, which as many ppl know, can easily die for some playres after hitting level 50, i would much rather spend a moth or 2 getting a base functional then a few more months making it more 'uber' with no limit to how good i could help to make it, than spend a month making it then say, oh well, that was fun.

bases were added as SG bases, a super group, a group of people, i dont think 1 or 2 people count as a group really, but thats just imho, a lot of SGs out there are small, with most only have 8 or so core players, theres still no reason they cant make successful bases.

anyways, as usual, i will say that it really isnt worth moaning about it, and to lump it if u dont like it, u dont have to pay, or play this game, and if u dont want to help a like minded sg then its probably ur own loss, even those that 'dont like to socialise' im sure can find a few ppl who are like them.

why not make a post here asking for a group of ppl who never really want to chat, or team, but u wouldnt mind using tem for some prestige, u never know it may work.

meh, hf peeps

i came back to post about what jack and syn said about AR, i was trying to focus on the good sides of the set, it does do ok dmg imxp and imo, the fact that smash lethal is easily resisted is a shame, but AR will never scream 'dont get meim fire and have no control' or'im sonics and my activations times are all 4s+', so didnt feel the need to slate it, anyways, u get a GUN!? w00t
