I hate to see the invasions go, but I am reallllly glad that the lag will be gone (well, lag assc. with the invasions) My poor old system cant handle it like it used to. and wife won't let me trade the kids for a new box

Lets buff Regen!

2. We'll be putting in a check that prevents "one shotting"; if anything occurs within a fraction of second that brings a player from 100% Hit Points down to 0, we instead give the player 1% Hit Points.

my check had always been a few lucks, or sturdys. Its probably not going to make a big deal. like someone said about "dont let the name fool you" post.
ok for instance. lets say, my tanker has 2000HP w/ Earths Embrace on. if a stalker chews 10 reds, 10 acc, (well, enuff to 1 shot me if possible) ASed me, i would be left with 20hp, possibly stunned and toggled, cos of the EM foty, and dead anyhow.
no worries, just Ego fretting for stalkers.

AND now...we're changing the way Archvillains spawn. A ton of forum goers disliked adding so many AV's into missions a while back...so we've come up with a solution. If the team size and mission difficulty are ABOVE a certain level, an Archvillain spawns. Below that, players will face only an Elite Boss.

This is the best change ever in CoH.

It's like X-mas. Part 2!!

Ummm no. Hell no! repealing ED would be the best Re-change for Co/x.

none of these changes have effected me not nearly as hard as ED has.

i must have hit the "magic" contacts since i have not yet even pulled my first AV in cov, i have helped others fight theirs but none of my own.

this stuff is great, hope firewa11 has a speed return

*bump* /e thumbsup

even more clarity make it a numbers display and a bar... like a speedometer?

0-100 or 0-100%

you can even toss in decimals.

I have an emp/elec

i took all my EMP powers, Sjump and acrobatics. combat jump only left me a coupla powers so i am useless at lower levels but i def just heal. I did take TB and my epic is power mastery, took conserve power, power build up ( love this cos it also effects heals like a "buildup" as well as attack(s) total focus, aim, tesla cage, and charged bolts.

i like to TB like a blaster. Conserve power + power buildup + aim, then after being drained, i pop a couple of blues and i am back to healing without probs til my recovery starts back up.

i am primarily built for level 50 AV's and large pack fighting.

still doing great w/ my issue 5 build and slotting.

i put 3 recharges in fort, 2 def buffs, 1 too hitbuff(just for fun)

i also have another emp/elec on a diff account that i took "medicine pool" on and aid other...
for those that dont know and are curious, slotted same as heal other its basically the same amount of heal, but has an interuptablitly factor.

Everyone knows its "All about the Temp. Protection!"

by the time i take all my pool powers just so i can semi- equal a regular tanker (i.e. tough, weave, acrobatics, combat jump), i kinda run outta room for attacks. But then again, my secondary is ice melee so. there, i guess I can slow them? so they dont kill my team as fast

Yep - this is the AI change to "fix" herding...

[/ QUOTE ]


cool, now raise the taunt hit cap to 17 so our teams dont have to worry. meaning, (when we taunt we can hit up to 17. at any given time)

I thought it was a dumb name at first because it reminded me of that crappy movie, but it actually fits somewhat better than "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider"... Or does it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, it does sound better than, "Along came Erectile Dysfunction"

wow it begins with ED also! thats amazing!!11

I have been playing for a while now and I have seen alot of changes. I remember when I first saw the game a was just blown away. You used to be able to make SUPER HEROES. Then it changed to HEROES. Now its like you can make a slightly advanced person that likes to die over and over again

[/ QUOTE ]

Huh. My characters are still Super Heroes, every bit as viable as they've been since issue 1.

I must be doing something wrong.

[/ QUOTE ]

its possibly cautious playstyle.

does this info still apply in issue 5? (less the obvious balances)

I dont like the changes, but i must accept them. I suppose we all should have seen this comming albeit a YEAR into the game. This "balance" should have been done in issue 2 if it was "so needed"

See u all on my emp def.

nothing is worse than the nerve wracking drone of Superspeed or the grinding howl of target drone.

VGR Red, thanks i shall remember that for future teamin'.

p.s. VGR = Very good read

I suggest that BLASTERS read this also.

My Attny Chris Jenkins will be in touch with you for Slandering my alt toon "Zer0" I expect a fair settlement, and pnitive damages plus compensation for my rep loss on servers win which i play.

All of a suden no one would team with me and they told me go check the forums.

Zer0 is in no like form or fashion to "Zero" altho it is spelled almost the same I feel i am being heroicly discreminated against since this "article" broke.















GOTCHYA! (as in I was a jokin') I could not resist a little forum fun!

Very good read there Peter, i laffed a lot cos yes I have met some like Zero that that say PL PL ME plz and when i say I can't sorry i am busy with a mish they go off like well Skerw u then!

WHat about this.. possibly won't work with the game engine.. but what if there is a 20 sec delay in the spy cam feed and live action?

OR

Only allow the 3 views. overhead, leader view on either team? as in you see what that see?

I would think the delay part would be the most anti-spyish/cheatish but perhaps the hardest to do.
We had a 90 sec delay on HLTV during tfc maches manditory just for such occasions.

Energy: Knockback can be useful for knocking things into position or for keeping them on their backs and not attacking. However, it can ruin the plans of a debuffer or a melee. Approach with caution, for Energy can get your group killed. It will absolutely destroy any sort of plan involving debuffs. Let me put it more bluntly: NEVER, EVER, EVER COMBINE ENERGY BLAST WITH DARK MIASMA OR RADIATION!!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

I run an energy blaster with a Rad/Rad and have no problem, if i am not the only dmg dealer in the team i spend a bit of time "sweeping" mobs into the Rad infection or Enverb fields with my "weaker" attacks and the others finish it off.

Thru to, inexperineced knockback users, Energy/ some AR's can totaly wreck the debuffs, scattering mobs with an AoE knocker. Those types i warn once the next time i kick from team

and Please don't kill the anchor. Anyone level 20 and up should know better (unless they were power leveled)

All in all I liked the guide. Thanks for your advice/ and time spent typing it.
