Captain_Solaris

Thanks Princesss

Think you've answered the majority of my questions! Just have to wait on the verdict whether the slotting is any good ^__^

My Peacebringer has been collecting dust over the past couple of years and I've had an urge to start playing him again. Terrax currently has a SO'd Tri-Form build, but I'm looking to get him spec'd up for a new age of illuminescent fun.

Essentially Terrax is an offensive character that utilises all forms dependant on the situation. Therefore rather than making one form stronger than the other, I wanted him to be capable of performing regardless of the form he is in.

I'm no expert in this, so I've been trawling through a number of recent posts looking for other Tri-Form PB builds. Unfortunately I haven't come across many, but have applied some of the principles from the few I've seen.


Check out the build if you could. I've included some of my own points and questions. I know there's some places which maybe I could improve on and would be happy with any constructive suggestions.

Human
Main Role: Scrapper
Damage = Medium
Defenses = Medium
Questions...
- Since this is a Tri-form build and White Dwarf is essentially my damage sponge, should I bother with the number of shields & Tough?
- I'm tempted in getting Pulsar for a bit of control, but unsure on which power to replace it with. Any suggestions?


Bright Nova
Main Role: Blaster
Damage = High
Defenses = Low
Questions...
- Does Cosmic Balance apply in Bright Nova form?
- Does the "Chance for End" proc only work when I'm in the respective forms?


White Dwarf
Main Role: Tanking
Damage = Low
Defenses = High
Questions...
- Should I slot for more Dmg Res?
- Does Cosmic Balance apply in White Dwarf form?
- Does the "Chance for End" proc only work when I'm in the respective forms?


Light Form
Main Role: Limited High Lvl Tanking / Panic Button
Damage = Medium
Defenses = Extreme
Weakness = Limited Use


Panic Buttons:
A - White Dwarf
B - Light Form
C - Cheese it! Form (slap on Conserve Power > Qauntum Flight)

Had no troubles tonight. In fact it was a lag free occasion...


...until you logged on :O


Think you're jinxed Mrs ^__^

Very well done guys ^^ Impressed

I'm 29...

The oldest player I teamed with as about 44, Aura, back in 2005... she also happens to be our oldest ever GoEH member, albeit briefly.

The youngest GoEH member was 16, MaXimillion, back in 2005, until he was knocked from his throne by Lilykhi who was about 12 around 2007.

The youngest CoH gamer I'd teamed with was an 8 year old who was going to tell his mum because I'd kicked him from the team I was in. Only reason I kicked him was for the amount of bad language he was spewing. After I told him that I'd show his mum what he'd written, he soon apologised. I still didn't invite him back on to the team though :P

Woot!

After a run during the weekend with several of our members the GoEH has finally got her own Fusion Generator!

Really proud of everyone who helped since we're not a SG huge on PvP. Took a while, but had fun. It was a shame that nobody got a special PvP recipe, but thank you for your patience and helping out.

Cynic
Nightmarer
Chisel
Massicus
Fusion Fury

Mentions to Blackest Hand whom we encountered in Warburg and allowed us to continue uninterrupted despite initially attacking us and also to Kattz who joined us a little later after getting stalking me out of her system!

...now I can go spend all your hard earned cash on a generator we don't really need! Mwah hah ha!

I remember getting debt was such a big deal back in the day that friendships were tested because you got them into debt!

The anguish of some players resulting them in leaving a team because of it! Hahah

Nowadays, nobody bats an eye-lid since they disappear in a matter of seconds, especially when in an specially modified AE mission!

I mostly play male alts. However when I first started playing I shared my account with my ex who got ownership of Onion, but she managed to slip a female alt onto Defiant called Krysalis. When she stopped playing the game I deleted all but Krysalis and Kara Solaris (DM/Inv Scrapper on Onion). I play them once in a while as I promised to get them to 50 for my ex...that was back in Apr 2005 and they're still lvl45 & 16 respectively!

Back in the day I was a pretty naive gamer when it came to MMORPG gender. I never thought of male gamers playing female alts and vice versa (which was stoopid I knows it). Well the CoH certainly opened my eyes!

In fact I think I've perv'd on your alt before...the very first time we teamed back in the first few months of EU release...



I was the only male hero in that team...I felt privilaged. ^__^

I've realised that too, especially when trying to get onto a PuG team...think some people are just getting lazy and/or unsociable.

Sometimes I'm the GoEH base editing stoof and don't get back to the people straight away, but I do reply back.

Trying not to sound like an old man, but back in the day...

Yer, the one day series put our feet back on the ground!

Glad it wasn't a whitewash. At least we maintained some dignity...just!

Mabuhay Oceanic Lounge!

Born in the Philippines...Pacific Islands count as Oceanic right? Yer, I'm sure they do! So I guess I can plant a flag here on the Oceanic forums! Woop :P

Surely there are other gamers from the Philippines? *waves*

Lived in the UK for most of my life and I mostly play on EU Defiant. Defianteer forever!

You're not allowed to take a break Mister Q! ...it's the law!

Pfft... even I'm keep getting dropping issues. However it's my computer rather than my connection. I'll get it sorted though, although I can't fit anymore extra RAM in it (being an 4 year old laptop only goes upto 2Gb) I'll find a way to get on CoH whatever the cost!

Guild of Extreme Heroes ...We made this video about 4 years ago now and it was the first (and so far only!) CoH movie I worked on.

GoEH Promo Movie ...We made this video about 4 years ago now and it was the first (so far only!) CoH movie I worked on.

I've seen an Elfling Liberty Force and Honourable United movie too...are there anymore out there?

Would love to see if there are any other out there for the community to see.

Welcome to join the GoEH (Guild of Extreme Heroes)

We're a relaxed supergroup with various types of gamers who are in game throughout the week.

Ideally would like members to be in SG mode up until lvl35 as it doesn't affect your inf up to that point, however I'm quite relaxed about it especially if you've been with the GoEH fo a long time...would be nice to get a bit more to go up the SG rankings [HINT HINT GoEH'ers]!



GoEH Ranks
Now members are normally given the rank of "Initiate" that will give you access to the base, her teleporters and the regular size insp (within the Medi-bay).

You'll be able to store items, however won't be able to take items until you're promoted 1 lvl to "Warrior" rank. You woud normally achieve this once ataining at least 75k of prestige...or if you're a core member and demands it!

"Knight" ranks are for high lvl heroes or alts of longer standing members, this will give access to all storage racks.

"Sentinel" given to long standing members and their regularly used alts. Given more privilages incomparison to "Knights"

"Councillor" are the core members of the GoEH. Prolific members in the SG and in the CoH community. They have pretty much all leader privilages.

GoEH Chat
Our own chat channel to cater all your spamming needs.

GoEH Base
We have the with mod-cons you would normally look for in a base ie: Medi-bay, Teleporters (all TP locations) and Workshops (Invention & Storage Units).

Coalitions
We have coalitions to other large SGs such as the 47 Ties, Karma Police, Elflings, Femme Fatales and Generic Supergroup 101.


Send me an in-game tell sometime. I'll most likely be on during this week from 21:00 onwards.

After chatting with my SG the other night, we were reminiscing out first months of CoH.

There wee numerous stories that made me chuckle, and since I'm in need of a laugh thought I'd ask Defiant to share their first newbie moments during their first month of City of Heroes/Villains.


Personally, I've been a perpetual newb for the most of CoH and there has been countless newbie moments... but one that sticks in the mind was my power slotting on my main, Captain Solaris.

After giving my good friend number9dream, my account to try maintain top healer in the first month of Defiant EU release whilst I was away, he had a peak at my build to realise my complete newbness as he unearthed that I had slotted...BRAWL!

I was truly shamed for such a travesty when I got back! In my defence I wanted to make him a melee alt, but with green energy'esque powers were essential... the only one that fitted that was rad/rad. Plus I was only lvl30 at the time so melee powers on a def was limited!


I'm hoping to see a few old boys/girls from EU release hiding in the shadows to emerge and share their stories!

Hero Name: Captain Solaris

Hero Picture:

Super Group: Guild of Extreme Heroes

Archetype: Defender

Badge Count: 300+

Primary Power Set: Radiation Emissions

Secondary Power Set: Radiation Blasts

Battle Cry: "Hey ho! Let's GoEH!"

Character Description: Founder and Co-Leader to the Guild of Extreme Heroes.

Most Memorable Moment: First week of EU release, a large number of heroes were united for the first time to tackle the Giant Monster known as Luska! Even Defiant's first lvl50, Dark Steel (who was at least 10lvls above everyone else at the time), descended from his lofty perch to participate. The first of many times that calamari would be served to the masses!

[edit] Post deleted

...just realised we have a thread for this under the title "Defiant Heroes"

I'm unable to find the original article anymore...but I've now edited my original post to include the text from the thread.

Only just seen your post Omega.

Sorry to hear you're leaving CoX, but in a number of cases it's not always forever...so hopefully we'll see you back gracing our server again!

We have space for one more on the GoEH mate.

I'll be online tonight from 19:00 (UK time), so hopefully will bump into you ingame and will throw across a Coalition invite.

We don't chat as much on Coaltition as we normally spam our own channel...but then again Coalition chat is not as used as much anymore by most SGs.


Current Coalitions:
Academy of Extreme Heroes
Elflings Liberty Force
Femme Fatales
47 Ties
Innercircle
Karma Police
Militis Metus (VG)
Order of The Cruciform Swords
Pretenders, The

Hola Soultouch! I vaguely remember teaming with your alt, Liquor, a ouple times with a number of my alts.

Welcome back to Defiant...well kinda...the EU Defiant forums anywho ^__^

New forums and our GoEH thread is still here! Woop!

Well I welcome the merger of the forums and look forward to many a spamming!

Those who aren't familiar to our SG feel free to check out our SG forum on...
