As soon as I saw the trailer for next weeks one I thought to myself "Oooh, that looks like the Neil Gaiman one".

Smatterings of Neverwhere in the costume designs and sets, which can only be a good thing.

Well no, at the moment it works like every other kb game, you see the orange number when the impact happens. What you're proposing is that you'd see an orange number when they take off and none when they hit the ground, which would look pretty pants (pants not being good).

The worst part of the iTrials is the fact that 2 out of 3 times I can't use Vengie on the corpse, because they're on another team, but I'm still probably obliged to bring them back to life.


The worst is when I trigger Power Boost first and then realise

Gotta agree. You're not just talking about CoH players, you're talking about CoH players whom also have whatever device you decide to release it on and can be bothered.



For example I've an iPad but wouldn't bother with a Market or Chat interface. I'd just log on and use the laptop.


Best bet would be 3rd party programs such as Mids. I'd certainly use that (although personally I'd question why someone just didn't make and maintain a Suckerpunch style web based solution instead and thus not have to worry about different code bases for different tablets)

Where'd you get this list from? I find it highly surprising Aion isn't on it.


Also Rift has sold an estimated 1.3 million units, so why isn't it on this list?

Plus scary event could never hope to be as scary as "Are you my mummy?" and gas-mask wearing pseudo-zombies (no slight towards your kin intended ZM).


I pretty much thought it was a run-of-the-mill Dr Who episode, which after last weeks one was exactly what I expected to be honest


Next weeks one looks good though.

Don't put a FF into Shield Charge.

Unless you like wasting FF Procs of course.


Edit : To clarify, because SC uses a Pseudopet to do the knockdown and damage you'll only ever get a single chance for it to affect you when you cast it, rather than a chance per enemy hit as Footstomp does.

The ad on the launcher is pretty mediocre in terms of getting it's message across. It doesn't have a splash image and lacks any details on what they're actually selling in the 3 or 4 sentences they have available.


To be honest it looks like a copy-and-paste job without considering the limited visible text available in the launcher headlines and allowing for it.


So the one point where they could legimately advertise their sale in an expected place without it being stuffed down peoples throats it's done pretty badly.

For what? The game?


No, and it's unlikely there ever would be. It's far too different a medium to be bringing an existing MMO onto. You'd be more likely to see console support first.

^This.


Gravity Control has plenty of issues at the moment crying out for attention. This isn't one of them, it works fine as-is.

This is kinda true, kinda. Forts have stronger AOE capabilities, and the glory that is the crashless nuke (aka "What the hell was that" as people on teams tend to call it). If you're fighting lots of enemies the Fort is going to do lots more damage, even if their AOEs aren't the strongest and animate kinda slowly, simply becausre they'll be hitting lots and lots of enemies at once. You can back this up with a decent range single target chain (one which pales compared to a NWs melee chain but doesn't need you to be in close and has control built into it).

In my experience levelling a dual build all the way up I've found the Fort overall more useful on larger teams where you can just stand there and spam wide-area AOE upon AOE and the NW much better on smaller teams or solo (the NW is ridiculously good at soloing Tip missions). The Fort is also much easier on the Blue Bar.

Building both at the same time and deciding what mood you're in today to play is a blast though (I casually frankenslotted all the way from level 30, frankenslotting Def/Recharge IOs in Mind Link works wonders for both and isn't particularly expensive, especially if you're also running tips and rolling a-merits to fund things as you go.

I'd switch the recharge for another PROC, either a Gravitional Anchor Chance of Hold PROC (stuck one of these in myself over the weekend, cost around 55 million to buy and craft) or the Immob PROC.

Because it's got such a low recharge and is more spam-worthy than any other AOE Immob (thanks to the higher base damage, one of Plants advantages over other sets) PROCs work very well in it. It's best slotted as an AOE attack which also immobs (and hence sets up containment for the next one) rather than an AOE immob. The last thing Plant needs is more Immob duration really, between yourself, Fly Trap and Creepers you throw out heaps of immobs anyway.

^ This. You'll get a lot more use from it in Fissure compared to Gale, which has horrific base accuracy to boot. Due to the way PROCs work it doesn't even matter than the chance for knockdown in Fissure is only 50%. The proc will still have it's usual chance to proc against everyone hit by fissure whether they fall over or not.

If you've got the slot available then the Achilles Heel chance for -resist is a good choice for Fly Trap as well, 3 of its attacks will benefit (the 2 thorn attacks and the bite all do -defense).

Switch the Trap of the Hunter proc in creepers for a Posis blast, it will go off far, far more often (4 to 5 times more often in tests I've done). ToTH will only check when Creepers immobiles things (the Brial attacks), Posis will go off for any damaging attacks, ie both the Briars and the Vine attacks. Roots is a good place for Trap of the Hunter procs (unless you go for the Grav purple PROC instead). The Slow and Posi Blast procs are the two to put into Creepers.

It shows you it is number 1 at generating prestige, nothing more.

It would affect the creepers, if creepers could be affected by recharge bonuses (which they can't).

Pretty much a waste of time I'm afraid (might have a chance to go off when you summon the creepers, but that's not much use even if it is the case)

Also, don't cross post the same question across 3 boards, its against the rules for a good reason

Or "I'd quite like to continue to progress my character without grinding through that laggy mess again"

I want to play my 50, I want to try the new powers. I don't ever, ever want to do Lambda ever again, it's a horrific, laggy shambles. BAF is better, but is still hard going on my machine.

Gawd, please don't let i21 be just like i19 and i20 in terms of the Incarnate / Non-incarnate split. Or at least don't let it Praetorian and/or Trials alone (non Praetorian story arcs would be good)



Power Pool Customization (APP, PPP and Pool Powers)
Power Proliferation
Incarnate story arcs, with no sign of M Bison or his evil goatee sidekicks to be seen.

Given how it was when i18 launched they all got drafted into Powers Division, along with their cow-like demon followers.

Agreed.

Did my first Lambda today.

by the gods it was a painful, laggy, non-fun experience. It'll be my last too. Alternate ways of earning Threads would be very welcome (and iXP, but I'm even willing to burn 80 million inf to avoid ever going near the Lambda trial ever again, even though I'm hardly loaded).

There should be a few iXP / incarnate Story arcs available for teams to run for those of us that don't have the PC power to deal with the Lagda and Bloody Awful Framerate Trials (or inclination to run them. Although I don't mind the BAF too much).

I actually enjoyed Remials arcs. Crying shame that's where Story ended and dull, laggy grind begins with this system (and I am not even running them that much)

Mine do, US and EU ones (I've one of each)

34 threads is roughly the answer. Each spend gives you 3% of the iXP needed. You also need 2.5 million per go (2.5 million seems to be popular). So 34 Threads and 85 million inf will give you 100% iXP for opening something (might be 33 and 82.5 million inf in fact if it's actually 3.3333% a go)

I did it with the Interface slot because I've never managed to get onto a Lambda team, ever or see one forming. It always seems to be BAFs running.

Seems like loads (and it kinda is) but I sold the proceeds of a-merit random rolls to earn it fairly quickly with my Fort/Night Widow.
