These builds are proof that people think that if you throw enough money at a build it will be awesome instead of thinking about slotting properly.
I have the same stalker with so much more defence for so much less and much better slotting.
i didn't need to take Maneuvers and all my def is in the high 50's.
Please think about your slotting, like slotting def powers.
I don't want new people thinking this is the norm or the best slotting option because it's not.

Since the villain epic AT came out i have only wanted 1 thing and that is for the Nightwidow to get the correct black metalic tint that the NPc's have instead of the purple tint that we have.
Or maybe an option for both.
Please please please.
It's just a metalic tint to tights but it would make me so happy.

I view the models as caricatures because it is comic book law and we are talking super power people at there peak and so forth.
But there are extremes
The PD boots tho are weird and i don't think it's just the toes, i think the arch of the foot is also to long.
If you look at the heel to it seem to long in the shoe.

I laughed at the monkey foot comment

I would like to address something that is concerning me lately.
It's the feet that are coming out lately.

Have a look at this


This i'm guessing is around a UK size 5.
That's what size i am and my toon is about my height.

Now look at this.


This is twice the size of the first and i'm guessing around a 10.
Now where I live no women have a size 10 foot.

It's a shame really because it looks like a nice shoe but the fact it's so huge and kinda gross looking for a foot makes me not want to use this at all.
This seems to be a serious trend in shoes lately, they all seem to be massively oversized.
WHY ?.
I've looked around the internet and the average shoe size is 6-7 NOT 10 so please please stop making HUGE gross looking feet.
I beg you !.

Speaking as someone from the fairer sex i would like to ogle err i mean would like to see guy toons in sexier cossies.
Why should us girls have all the fun ?
String vests and bottomless chaps for all i say

Theres a lot of cheering going on on here but everyone fails to realise that pings to the US will double.
For example my ping used to be 105 to the old server but now its 225 and there is no way to change that no matter what hardware you put into the server its just down to distance.
That kind of ping causes power lag, you can hit a power and it won't do anything for a couple of seconds and that can lead to all manor of nastyness.
The move sounds great for ncsoft so they can save money in maintance and what not but it will impact performance to all the EU members who pay to play on a EU server thats not in the EU anymore.
I pay to play on a EU server because thats where i live and a EU server gives me the best ping.
If i wanted to play on a US server i would.

I have a ATi XFX 5750 on the 10.9 drivers and after awhile playing CoH this happens.
Restarting CoH fixes the problem but it comes back after so long.
Its defo not an overheating problem as the gfx never goes over 60c.
Its a new Win 7 install with a new motherboard and memory has been checked with memtest.
Plenty of PSU power to (650W).

Anyone got any idea's ?

I have the same problem on my 5750.
its not a heat issue as my card never goes over 50C and my drivers are a fresh install on a fresh install of Win 7

Ok Boyfriend solved this problem
In win 7 event logs if you get this error:-
Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
on your ATi card try these fixes-
http://www.atikmdag.com/

If that doesn't do it try underclocking your ATi card in Catalyst Control Center.
Just the GPU clock settings should do it.

Its a common problem with ATi card atm to crash.

My 5750 runs fine now with no loss of performance after underclocking

Heres one for you boffins
a few weeks ago my coolmaster 550W died so my boyfriend changed it for a 650w Corsair as well as changing the motherboard.
Everything ran fine untill my 8800GT died.
I got a 9800GT and installed the latest drivers but windows XP 64 failed to go past the loading screen, it would hang with nvidia and XFX drivers.
Windows 7 was installed with the same result with the new drivers except for the default windows 9800 drivers which work.
186 nvidia drivers work also but CoH randomly crashes to desktop or locks the system up totaly.
Purchased a ATi Radeon 5750 and installed latest drivers but CoH still randomly crashes to desktop.

If your playing an elec/elec Dom all ranged your doing it wrong.
I'm on my second elec assault Dom and i can tell you the melee powers do a lot more damage than the ranged powers.
If you get enough Recharge you can cycle just the punches for tons of dps.
Some sets are better at range some better at mele , elec is melee so don't ignore the punches or you'll make baby jesus cry .

The female boots from the orignal concept design for the Archnos Soldier Epic AT

I don't need Def i have holds.

I have a fire/earth and love it , the dmg is awesome
Having Hot Feet and mudpots isn't an issue becuase its impossible to run both and attack without your end draining VERY quickly.
Hot Feet is all you need imo and is possible to run all the time with a miracle +recov and a Pshifter and 70% end reduc on Hot Feet.

A Solo Card is a debit card a bit like a credit card and only availble in the UK.
Its very common here which makes me wonder why reacurring payments were stopped on this type of card.

Making sub payments via the 60 day none reacurring option with a Solo (which is the only option now) makes it impossible to buy anything from the NCsoft store as your credit card does not go on file as its a 1 off payment.

Its not a problem with the store being down its a problem with the fact the store doesn't take that card which is used to do.

UK Solo card payments have been stopped by plaync not long ago and i find myself with a bit of a problem.
You can still pay for your sub with Solo but only 60 days at a time and its none reacurring, its not really a problem but what is is the fact you can not buy charactor slots with a Solo card anymore.
I want to buy some more charactor slots but find i am unable to, this seems a big problem to me as i don't have access to any other card but i still want those extra slots.

I can't find any other way to buy those slots via the store or website so what are people with Solo cards supposed to do if they want more charactor slots ?

I have been taking screen shots and petitioning inf seller farm teams for some time now and have sent in over 100 names and megs of screenshots.
Well i petitioned a team yesterday and casually mentioned that there should be a badge for this and one of the GM's said " Inf Seller Hunter Badge" which made me chuckle
and she also said to mention it on here.
So here i am.
Petiton 100 Inf sellers and get a badge !
Not only with it get rid of all the inf seller farm teams but you get a shiney badge and make the game a lot more plesant.
I So want this badge now

Crushing Field?

Actually i have procs in both crush and crushing field

(Although, avoid the area immobilizes, they will just get you in trouble until you know what you're doing)

I wouldn't agree 100% with that but i guess it does depend on what sets your playing.
I do have stone cages on both my dom and controller as stallagmites and stone cages is a great opener also its -KB so if you have KB powers its good for stopping you from knocking mobs out of your AOE holds etc.
Also on my controller its a good source of damage if its loaded with procs and you can spam it quite abit.

Grav Crush loaded with damage and damage procs is just a joy to spam
