I remember Cuppa saying we were going to get a free respec after I-7 hits. Did anyone remember or see anything specific as to when they were going to grant this? Same day as I-7 hits, the next week, the next month? Just curious if I need to find a Villian spec team before then.

Less than a week after I7 goes to live - but not right as it goes to live. I will let you know for sure when I7 actually releases.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble here - but I7 is not going up before the end of May. We have a few more things left to fix/tweak.

I understand that and agree that a bugged i7 is not good, but ya'll need got get your stuff together we had i7 coming soon on the log on screen for 2 months, Posi said that it would be out by the end od the month ( if i remember right), ppl are already leaving the came for lack of content (add another 1 to that list) I'm in the navy and i had to take leave so i took in now in the hopes of getting a few weeks of live i7 my leave ends june 13th and now it looks like i won't get any..... I don't understand programing nor so i pretend to but this is getting out of hand. I know I'll get alot of flack from ppl on this post becaue alot of the ppl on the forums are willing to wait as long as they have to but i'm a guy on a time line i have to go back to Sea IE a big grey boat with no computers to play any games in a few months but this is my opnion and thats that.

Right now a lot of posts have talked about the high Prestige cost of Base items - and that they're bringing in a ton of Salvage but can't really do anything about it.

Bases, as they currently stand, really focus on mid and large sized groups earning Prestige - so the complaints have a good point. We're trying to work something out so that a smaller group can get something useful quickly - and also put Salvage to use! Can't promise a timeline, but we are working on it.

Hmmm... sounds like small SGs can get the SG Base Junior, furnished and equipped by Fisher Price.

You forgot enhancement slots.

I'm at 14 now... yeah... big fun. Solos well, teams well. Very balanced build.

One (two-part) question, how much disorient can I expect to see with Oppressive Gloom, and how effective is it in PvP?

Just for giggles, I'll post my build. I won't bother putting down my slotting because that's too much like work.

1: Smite, Dark Embrace
2: Shadow Maul
4: Death Shroud
6: Swift
8: Combat Jumping
10: Shadow Punch
12: Obsidian Shield -> This is where I'm at now.
14: Super Jump
16: Health
18: Dark Consumption
20: Stamina
22: Dark Regeneration
24: Acrobatics
26: Soul Drain
28: Oppressive Gloom
30: Touch of Fear
32: Midnight Grasp
35: Cloak of Fear
38: Murky Cloud

The whole part from 30-38 is tentative, I don't know how fear works nowadays but I heard it's not great. Plus there's always the endurance considerations. The whole build looks like a giant AoE aggro machine, doesn't it?

Nice.

/em thumbsup

Excellent guide. Exactly what I've been looking for. Any sample builds?

I did, however, just see a level 2 corruptor named 'Il Duce' on Victory.

No doubt inspired by the character of the same name on the movie The Boondock Saints.

Great movie, highly recommended by the way.

I saw the section titled How long will COH last? Well i recall statesman saying he had ideas for years to come. In an interview (cant recall who with), he had City of Spies in the rafters(atleast wanted that after COV). Could this be the next stand alone creation for an already massive awsome hero/villian world? Let's hope so!

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, maybe the next game will be City of Identical Player Characters, in which everyone has the same abilities and appearance and the quest will be to die over and over again.

Add this to the fact that the devs have stated that a later patch will bring the bases etc. into CoH without CoV . . .. seems like a meaningless whine. CoV is only required if you want the bases, etc, RIGHT NOW! Calming . . ..

[/ QUOTE ]

My appologies, if this is the case. I have not seen anything saying they would be patching to correct this issue.


Taken from a dev post:
"<[CS]Zeb> To get the benefits of the new features in CoV, CoH players will need a copy of CoV. You don't need to play a villain, just have a copy of the sequel.
<[CS]Zeb> Doing that will give you access to the PvP zones we're introducing and the base building features. Other minor features will be added later that expand both"

Half of your post was informational-thank you. However, stating a concern as an Adult consumer is hardly a "whine" that would be childish, right up there with flaming and making judegment calls against someone elses post. Just because you do not like, or agree with someones post, does not mean you need to respond. Reply when you have something usefull to say.

You don't like to be flamed? Dude, you are so totally on the wrong forums. This is the Flaming Capital.

Thanks for all of your suggestions in the Dev Corner. I've noted them all down for analysis.

There's no immediate deadline for changes Archetype wide, though individual power sets might need attention sooner. I just wanted to say that nothing at the moment is set in stone.

[/ QUOTE ]

Translation (from DevSpeak to English):

I read a small amount of the whining you all posted in the Dev Corner, and have elected to completely ignore all legitimate issues.

Although we're not rolling back the changes to controllers completely, it's come to my attention that some powersets combined with Containment damage are too much fun to play. Therefore, please expect a huge nerf to the containment damage and/or the fun powers.


(Statesman - just kidding okay? Don't nerf me)

I5 update coming soon I hope?

Uber is German for Over.

Leeroy is a verb or noun depending on its usage. It means almos the same thing as Zerg, specifically to rush into a huge spawn while the rest of the team isn't ready, usually resulting in a team wipe. A person who leeroys is a leeroy. ( from WoW video starring idiot named Leeroy Jenkins)

What the heck is IBTL? I've seen it and variations like IBTL +1 and such.

It remains to be seen what the next patch will hold, as well as the ones after that. The devs, as far as I know, have been silent on what they are doing to bring balance to the PvP game. I have a hunch they're working a lot on the new costumes' clipping issues. Hopefully, though, they'll give us an option of whether brawl can drop toggles.

Maybe they're just trying to make a fool of you. An April Fool, as it were.
