    Server cap?

    I was seeing 50 people on every side today on search.

    Is 50 max number showing? Can bet there were more then 50 people in Praetoria and on heroes.
  2. Both

    My main toon is claws/wp scrapper, and I have on other server her clone claws/wp brute.
  3. Think when it comes to defender against corruptor it is more what you want sooner buffs/debuffs or attacks.

    I have cold/ice defender and fire/cold corruptor and love playing both and teams love shields no mater if they come from defender or corruptor.

    Think that defenders are bit easier to level just because there is more people on blue side, but I guess that is going to change soon.

    (I am so going to have trouble choosing between those two, also )

    This. Going to change hero to villain just to get that as title.

    Thanks for badges locations, it will be very helpful when GR goes live.

    I also haven't been able to quit CoH without getting "CoH has encountered a problem and will now close" Error message from the game lately.
    That is my problem too. Also ATI card (EAX1600). That started since I17 come live.
    Can live with that (planing to upgrade graphic card soon) but don't know will there be problems with GR, since I can't get preload.
    If only problem will be having to download everything on release day - then I'll wait for new graphic card to fix that. If preload is necessary - then I need help!

    Dark / Psi

    Mine dark/psi is level 49 and she is good both solo and in team. Didn't have any trouble leveling her. That is mine 2nd favorite defender closely following traps/rad.
  7. Try giving your dark/dark a chance. Have dark/psy in 40's and don't have any problem soloing with her.

    1) I had a single teammate, and they ran ahead in the final mission and encountered what was supposed to be my look-alike in the early going. It wasn't ME, however, it was MY TEAMMATE. All dialogue proceeded as though it was MY doppleganger, except they looked exactly like my teammate.
    So far every time I did that mission in team, double was one of the teammates - never the mission owner. Read somewhere that you will get double of a person who entered map first, but haven't tested it. If you are solo, you will get your double for sure.

    Quote:
    2) Of course, it was tough to keep track of where my teammate was since BOTH of us appeared as a green arrow with a white dot in it on the map.
    When the last objective reveals on map, everyone in team get dot. I presume it is bug, and will be eventually fixed.

    3) I had altered the colors on my powersets during i16, but they had all reverted back to the original colors. I was using the Lava options on Earth, and the powers no longer Lava shaped, either. (This might not be exclusive to Nance, though.)
    As others have said we all had that problem. Free tailors tokens were given because of that.

    Quote:
    4) I set out to run the Nance arc with another hero, and when my Evil Double finally made their appearance, their coloration was NOT the reverse of my own, but rather took the coloration of the two main colors of the powersets that I altered during i16. I do not have those colors in my costume anywhere. And yes, my powerset colors had reverted all back to their original, which is even stranger.
    Costume colors should be reversed (primary becomes secondary and vice versa). Check costume colors at tailors. Your chests could have only one color, but secondary color even if not seen anywhere on costume is still there. If that wasn't the color appearing on double than it is a bug.
  9. Tried to trick it by using US updater. It downloaded and applied patch.
    After that I tried EU updater, it downloaded and applied something, but still getting the same message when clicking on server.

    Umm Codes?

    Code claimed picture appeared before picture with code. Someone was just smart to keep refreshing picture page (and know how to type quickly).

    Bit of a contradiction to say "They are not held back" yet say "If they were allowed to they would be nerfed" as i said before you have a lot of ATs that can run wild and have run wild doing things they are not supposed to in the first place and all of this has become the norm now, yet most support players are held down (and i am speaking about solo/Pvp again for the reason that noone is important in team play and all you need is bodies) let support have their powers and not be limited to 2-3 powers. Thought it was City of Heroes/Villains not City of Sidekicks when playing a defender/Corrupter. I enjoy the Corrupter/Defender ATs but not when i'm all but 3 powers are available for solo play.
    There are only two sets that have only 3 powers available for solo play - Empathy and Thermal.
    Pain have 4, sonic have 5, cold have 6, rad, ff and kin have 7, storm have 8 and traps, dark and TA have 9 powers available for solo play. So if you are worried that you won't be able to find team (or just one friend to duo with), you can always choose set that have 7 or more powers available for solo play. So you have 7 sets to choose from.

    On my traps/rad, I can easily solo +1/8 (normal missions, not AE or farming ones), and with provoke traps/ (or /traps ) can tank without any problem.

    When I play support I have never felt like sidekick, cause the most of the time casting shields on time can be difference between life and death for team. Putting debuffs on Reichman can make fight last 5 minutes instead of 1h without debuffs.

    And if you are looking for easy soloing, you can always play MM and still have support set (MM also have pain, ff and thermal). Won't suggest controller, because before level 32 and pets to me controller is much slower solo then any defender or corruptor.

    Can't tell anything about PvP. Even if there was PvP on EU servers I wouldn't be doing it, because that was never my idea of the good time.

    (Which due to the population on the servers is getting kind of scarce)
    I am playing on EU servers, where on week days you often have less then 100 players on hero side, and less then 50 on villain side and still don't have any trouble playing support toons.

    But yeah, self targeting would blow stuff away. An emp that can clear mind/heal other (self) adrenelin boost and clear mind themselves? A kinetic that can speed boost/ increase density on themselves then fulcrum shift/siphon speed/siphon power? A sonic resonance that can give themselves all their shields, then put their -res toggle on themselves?

    There goes any AT BUT support AT's.
    Exactly that.

    Positron Task Force Part 1: The final mission door is now located in trams instead of an office building.
    Good choice. We were all wondering how come Atlas is located in building.

    By the way, were some changes made to Ultra Mode?
    Suddenly I can play in Ultra mode (low to medium settings) and when I tried accessing it on test my computer said: „Are you kidding?“ and turn off.

  15. Shockwaveis great opener. By the time enemies rise, they are half death.

    Love both my claws/WP scrapper and brute, and I think that were my only alts that never had endurance problem. After QR (and stamina) you don't have to put endurance reduction straight away in power, but slot first for acc and damage, and put endredx only when you have all 6 slots in attack.

    I have skipped fighting in leveling build (just took cj and everything from WP line), since I never solo more then +1/+3, and on big teams there are either some buffs or I can pop up lucks.

    (I don't usually play melee, and claws/wp are only melee toons I really enjoy playing)
  16. Funniest so far was clone of my Claws/WP Brute.

    She was Dark armor/mind control. Looked more like fluffy, but kept Ajax mezzed almost all the time.

    When Ajax became vulnerable, didn't took long to finish him
  17. Don't remember the last time I have spent 4h chatting, no wonder I was tired after and was constantly faceplanting on blaster on live (like I don't do that when I'm not tired )
    Television is great (love floating TV), just wish that I could have True friends of the TV title on live server.
  18. It was great fun last night, bashing GM's and AV's all over Union.
    Lag was bad, and I had couple of crashing (funny lag was bigger on red side), but overall it was fun and can't wait for continuing on Defiant tonight.

    Thanks to Mod_08 for hosting!

    Traps/rad build?

    Got totally different build so I am deleting this, 'cause it was really bad
  20. Traps/... can kill very fast, only making mine field is slow

    My traps/rad have no trouble soloing, although I never raise difficulty for more then +1/3 when I am, no mater which archetype I play, so can't say how would she do on x/8.
  21. I have probably misread it, but WW only said there will be no merging of servers, and haven't mentioned anything about list merging

    By the way I love playing on both EU (English) servers. One thing that is better on EU servers than on US is that we don't have PUGs, since we all know each others
  22. I am leveling my cold/ice defender in all defender team.
    We are running +3 missions since level 6-7 without any problem.
    TF seam to easy since we can not raise level of opponents.

    Any team can work, but buffs/debuffs make things much easier.
    All defender or defender/corruptors TF's are easy mode (although on ITF if no one have provoke, you might chase Romulus all over map 'cause he is so afraid of you ).

    Tarikoss can sometimes take more than 2h, and Renault (eyeball) can be done sometimes for 1h (had that experience in PuG team).
