The Blood Pack is holding this costume contest and giveaway to promote our villain group, seek out new members and possibly add to our coalition.
We are an established VG that has been around since 2005 having originated on the Triumph server. We have long-time members that have played the game for many years. We try to schedule events for all members to participate in on a weekly basis. Most of our active players are on in the evening hours and we enjoy the game and are all adults which can sometimes lead to adult oriented humor. There’s no drama in our VG. We just like to kill things to build better toons to kill more things to build better toons etc etc etc and have a good time doing it.
Hope to see you there ! -

1st I would like to say I'm new to the website.
I have a lvl 50 mm, and like to know what will work best for him with the new Alpha Slot. He is a thug/poison. Have a 30%ish def and I can overlap debuff fast. Have aid self at a 29sec recharge and a .5sec interrupt time and the poison heal about 2 or 3sec. About 20sec to perma hasten. I have hibernation at a 2.5min recharge. I have a problem with end in long fights.
I was planning. With fitness being inherent to get fighting for Wave to up def more. But I don't know how the incarnate system works on mm and what I will get with Alpha Slot.
Have any ideas.

welcome to game and forums ! -
Quote:Yes, teaming you will miss contacts, and as you progress, you will also miss contacts teaming or solo.. unless you turn your XP off so that you do not level and can get every contact. Otherwise, once you hit level 25 you can go into oroborous and flashback to the contacts and storylines you missed in most casesOriginally Posted by MassMedia
Let's skip how trivial the subject matter is and just focus on the question: Does teaming up effect the game's story? Will I end up doing things out of order, or skipping over events? Its my first character and I kinda wanna see the sights before I just start blazing through.
In general, how does teaming up work in regards to story and development? Or in regards to leveling speed and general fun? I have never even tried a team yet, mostly because I'm still 100% mediocre and easily confused. XD
Another sidenote question would be, does the story level with me? Since I started out a Preatorian, can I do the low level hero arcs on the same character? Will they be faceroll easy? Or do they match whatever my current level is?
Thanks much! -
Sorry - I misread.. when I saw "no reason to buy CO now as its going Free2Play", I thought it said COX. Thats why I was like HUH???
Guess that means for all the CO players, support will soon become crap on that game. -

By the way, buying CO now is kind of a waste, as it's going "Free2Play" soon.
HUH?

Quote:I would say thats simply your personal opinion. Although they may have long activation time, when I hit a large mob, from the time I hit them with the Venom grenade til the time they are in melee range, most of them are dead due to my other 'slow activating' AoE powersOriginally Posted by Wiccania
Blue Lava you have a lot of AoE's and most of them are long activation. It is better to have short activating powers with low cooldown.
Not sure how you think I am underestimating the pets. I can do enough damage and have enough defense and resistance to survive an extra 30 seconds or so before my disruptors are ready to drop again. And quite frankly, with disruptors, spiderlings and massive AoE, the DPS is good enough to get me through most mobs. And as I also mentioned, once I19 is redone, Ill have an additional 13.75 added to my recharge.Quote:Originally Posted by Wiccania
Plus you are underestimating the pets like far too many do. Having the Disruptors and a Patron pet perma is a big deal.
edit - also, Venom grenade lowers resistance to toxic damage, so when I shoot out some bile spray after that they'll drop like rocks which is why I took Mako's PP -
BenR - Im not sure exactly why you are trying for a recharge intensive crab so hard. My current build gives me 109% recharge bonus - perma spiderlings, and near perma arachnobots. My defense is more than acceptable (although not quite capped), my AoE damage is pretty high, my resistance is so-so and once I19 rolls around, my recharge should increase another 13.75 with an additional 5 slotted posi blast on bile spray and invis with a LotG + rch
At the rate Im at now, I can fire off 3 AoE powers, one single target power and by then my 3 AoEs are all ready to fire off again. After I19, my guess is that I will have 4 AoE powers that will be constantly rotating so that at least 1 is ready to fire at all times. Sorry I cant show the mids slotting since Im at work, but here is a breakdown for my rebuild AFTER I19 is released
Granted that from scratch this build is probably about 6 billion or more, but if you use drops that you have saved (recipes, rare salvage) and run a few vil tip missions, and use vil merits for some of the recipes, it shouldnt be near that much.
1 Channel Gun 1 3 13 = devastation
1 Crab Spider Armor 1 3 5 = steadfast protection
2 Wolf Spider Armor - 2 - resistance
4 Combat Training Defense 4 5 = LotG
6 Slice 6 7 7 13 21 = hecatomb
8 Suppression 8 9 9 15 42 = raganrok
10 Tactical Training Maneuvers 10 11 11 15 19 LotG
12 air superiority 12
14 Fly 14
16 Venom grenade 16 17 17 37 43 posi blast
18 Heavy Burst 18 19 27 50 50 posi blast
20 Leadership Maneuvers 20 25 31 34 46 LotG
22 Mental Training run
24 Fortification 24 25 37= titanium coating
26 Arm Lash 26 27 46 46 - Scirorroco
28 Serum 28 29 29 42 50 4 numina 1 rchrg
30 Frenzy 30 31 31 40 48 - armageddon
32 Omega Maneuver 32 33 33 33 48 - posi
35 Summon Spiderlings 35 36 36 36 40 expedient reinforcement
38 Cal Reinforcements 38 39 39 39 40 expedient reinforcement

I just tried to buy the European version of CoX, but when I submitted my payment, it said there was a fraud suspision. My card is fine and it is still active. Is there something I need to do to get the Europen Servers?
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=238816
As a last resort, you can always call the support line
edit - or it might be you are trying to get on euro servers but purchasing from the US. Dont know if that would cause a problem or raise an alarm -
Quote:Yes, but you mentioned where and how it would be possible to sell. I could be wrong, but Im thinking that both your response and my response to yours will probably be removed LOL.Originally Posted by Lothic
If they don't like people selling codes they could change things to demotivate the need for that to happen.
That's been the point I've been trying to make here.
Believe me...Im not disagreeing with you at all. They could easily put out a pack with NPC costume codes and make profit themselves from it (if you are able to use the NCSoft store with no problems). That would be one of the few packs Id be willing to pay for. But ive already said as much in many different posts (such as those regarding the 'origins' pack and 'party' pack) -
Quote:Ive found about 98% of the people Ive dealt with in-game are reliable and honest in regards to trades and helping out transfering infamy (before email was available).Originally Posted by mousedroid
I just hope the two folks who have offered me trades are of the ethical variety as well.
Also, I didnt mean to say your thread will be deleted, just the posts regarding the selling of codes. Devs dont like those -
Quote:This post will be wiped by mods soon for what you mentioned LOLOriginally Posted by Lothic
Since the Devs are allowing people to generate a "black market" demand for these codes on eBay you could always sell a code you have for a few hundred bucks then turn around and buy the code you want with that money...
Just pointing this out.

Quote:Unless you happen to work at NCSoft.. then it sounds real appealing, which is why free transfers are not given out oftenOriginally Posted by tragichero242
I have 6 or 7 chars to move and the prospects of spending $60-$70 to move them is not appealing. :/
edit - and if it was your company, you wouldnt just go around giving things out for free constantly, would you? Cant stay in business that way

Quote:The Ocho mentioned in a fairly recent thread that they enjoyed double xp as much as the players do, so Id expect one on the horizon, but probably a month or 2 after I19 hits. However, as mentioned.. No "official" announcement given. This is why you should check the NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS section of the forums more often. When they (devs) have a date, they will most likely announce it there first.Originally Posted by MLEdelen
Can someone tell me if they plan on having a double XP weekend before the end of the year, the last 2 years they had it in feb and nov. I know last year they threw an extra in, but I was just wondering what the schedule is?
-
I believe this was recently updated in a patch to appear only on the casting character, although its effects do carry to teammates within range...

Quote:Well, as I dont farm for kill infamy, basically for standard IO drops, purples and rare salvage I find its much quicker to kill a mob of 8 49/50's vs a mob of 8 50/51's and logically my chances to get a purple are still the same according to RNG.Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
Blue might want to raise it to +0, but the OP would still benifit from going from +4 to +0 as far as speed/kills-per-hours is concerned.
And, you would be suprised at how little the cost difference between a lvl 49 LotG Defense vs a lvl 50 is on the market... as an example... so doesnt bother me if my kill cash is low if I get a couple of nice drops thru the run. -
Quote:And will probably see another one just like this a month from nowOriginally Posted by Schismatrix
Wait, i could swear i read this exact same thread about a month ago.

Odd, I got two purples in same mission last night while running villain tip mission. One a cheapie (20mil) and one a not so cheapie (lots more than 20mil). And was running at -1 +5
Random is indeed random -
No, but got a text today from one of my mates saying he was planning road trip in spring and was gonna crash at my place for a couple days LOL. I assured him I had wireless internet so he was happy

Quote:Dont remember, but I do remember there are 3 main parts to this mission.Originally Posted by Ironblade
Weird. I've been doing that mission every few days, and as recently as last night, and it has worked perfectly every time.
Maybe the computers are spawning out of order? The text refers to the primary, secondary and tertiary terminals. Does the text appear to be going in the correct sequence? (i.e. If you run it again - I don't imagine you memorized the text as it occurred.)
1 Speak to future Self - get the code, activate computer - defeat frostfire
2 Speak to future Self - defeat all enemies around youself and activate computer - defeat future frostfire
(before I even defeated all enemies around my 2nd future self, mission completed here)
3 Speak to future self - last computer is by 'me' in last room unless Im remembering wrong. -
"Speak to your future self" mission to align as villain pulled the same thing on me last night. Before I even started speaking to the 2nd version of myself, the mission completed and I was given my villain merit reward. Of course I went thru and killed everything else (good thing I did cause I got a nice purple IO drop), but still a little annoying that I havent even seen my 3rd future self and the mission completes. Im pretty sure this mission is not WAI.
-
Had same thing happen with me today. "Sorry, we are unable to blah blah blah". Very strange since I used the same card I have on file for my monthly fee withdrawl and very strange since just a couple of months ago I was able to purchase Mutant and Magic boosters both using the same card from the same computer with nothing different.
Oh well.. just wanted Cyborg pack anyway so found a new AE edition on eBAY giving me the ability to use the cyborg pack and a free month. Sorry NC Soft..No money today from me to you. -
perfect - thanks bunches !

Ok, so Im a brute.. looking into either
Combat Jumping (from wiki)
**While active, Combat Jumping increases your Defense to all attacks, and adds resistance to Immobilization. Moderately increases your jump height and distance while providing good air control.
Toggle
Self +Jump, +Defense(All), Resistance(Immobilization)
**
or
Weave (from wiki)
** While active, you bob and weave, increasing your Defense to all attacks, as well as your resistance to Immobilize
Toggle
Self +Defense(All), Resistance(Immobilize)
***
My question is, whats the baseline defense for these sets unlostted? Is it 3% def to all for both? Cant check in-game, and was trying to pre-plan build for I19
May end up taking them both just for the added defense, but wanted to check.
Any insight would be appreciated
