  1. My vote goes in the hat for new Pocket D additions...caged, puking, tentacled catgirls that are fighting monkeys.

    You'd have better luck finding raccoons (and to some degree skunks because they are legal as pets in the UK) them in European areas.

    And yes, economic status of a country does dictate the prevalence of rabies in animals that would otherwise be domesticated. I would avoid pretty much any animal in that part of the world, simply due to the likelyhood of infection with some heretofore unknown pathogen.
    So I guess we can all agree then by the #s alone, dogs are "scarier" when talking about prime vector carriers.
    Moral of the story, stop hating on skunks (legal pets in some parts of the US as well) @ Darkitty Dark One

    **no animals were harmed in the making of this thread**

    Location, location, location...Im thinking more on a global vs USA level I guess.

    Im currently "hanging out" in Afghanistan and even though I havent seen any coons and skunks (buttload of bats circling lights at night), there are plenty of wild dogs around. The military at this FOB has even dedicated posters and some airwave time to "do not pet the dogs when you are outside the wire" because there are some pretty cute puppies in some of the villages.

    Its a shame, but with the poor conditions many of the people are subjected to in this country, dogs are probably infected with everything from rabies to Resident Evil's T-Virus.

    There was a family of skunks that used to live nearby...they always turned around and headed in the opposite direction when I guess they sensed me. So based off those few encounters, I assume most skunks arent usually trouble makers. During my travels, Ive even heard of people keeping them as pets.

    As far as being vectors for rabies, I may be wrong, but I think dogs are the top contenders for that deal.

    Same.

    The only Bane powers I took were Surveillance, Cloaking Device and the Build-up deal...Shatter Armor is from the epic line.
    I grabbed one Bane mace attack just to get in more S/L defense, but never use it b/c everything is usually done with the AOE + debuff barrage.

    edit ** 2 questions...
    What powers are Huntman purposely avoiding?
    If it is Crab attacks, are the Huntsman rifle attacks that inferior to the Crab's ranged?
  6. Not meaning to derail but...
    Why the Huntsman hate? lol
    They seem as viable as any other.

    Havent been able to play CoH in awhile, but I went the Huntsman/Bane route for stealthier mode and if I remember correctly (without incarnates):
    - 5x range AOEs
    - 1x range ST
    - 2x melee attacks just because
    - 2x debuffs

    Throw in cap S/L and range defense with pets and team buffs...Ive always enjoyed it.

    How is it comparable to a petless MM?
  7. I say go with /devices.

    Earth/Devices Dom could be the new hotness.

    Or pics will do...you on a triple decker yacht with a well pleated chef's hat serving up 10 supermodels with strawberry crepes or sitting on his gold toilet with a $100 bills tp dispenser in the above mentioned well pleated chef's hat.

    Basically doing anything balla with a chef's hat, Ill accept it.

    What was this thread about again...chef's hat costume option?
  9. BL and SD...you guys arent wealthy or insanely rich enough to post all up on this thread.

  11. Obviously the thread is subjective...as strongly as some feel a set is totally worthless, others love it and find value in it. I cant play at the moment, but I still enjoy my /devices blaster. With Burnout and high recharge I can get out 2-3x Gun Drones and then goto town. Could the set use some love? Sure, but I wouldnt call it tragic.

    And Mind Control? It no longer at the top of the pack for min/max types that solo TFs and AVs?

I am sure most of you do not care but I had to say my piece.
    When the over commercialization of CoH finally drives you away from the game...

    can I have your stuff?

    Im wealthy and rich beyond the means of all the little people out there playing the game, but Ill still take your stuff when you bounce.
  13. One thing you can take away from the thread...people are dedicated and have an almost religious type of fanatic attachment to their servers
  14. Enough is enough!
    I have had it with these mothereffin' discussions on this mothereffin' thread!
  15. Sometimes its easier to work a build out yourself and then post it for critiques. Im overseas and cant play at the moment, but I have worked a few builds I would like to play when I get home. I just used the search engine to get a few builds ideas and then plugged away.

    Good luck.

    fixing droners

    After 03 pages of back and forth with other PvPers, I just wanted to follow up by asking what the devs have told you at this point?
    The dudes and dudettes here cant correct the issue you see as an issue or implement the changes youve suggested.

    **Edit**
    I dig this concept:
    "I highly recommend spending your time lobbying for a global pvp zone or a system of pvp that doesn't require billions of influence and hours of grinding and learning a completely different system to be viable. I'm assuming that the system itself has made infinitely more people quit than droners have. If we can get those changes, maybe we can actually cultivate a population that deserves attention."

    im not asking they fix pvp pre.i13, but just make this change so there can be more fun in the small pvp community and less arguements.
    fixing one of your statements:
    "they are always trying to improve the game to make it more enjoyable to the **PvE** players"

    All other points aside, whats so hard to understand that devs dont really give a **** about PvP? Why should they? Are you going to stop playing the game if the TP/droning tactic isnt "fixed"?
    I dont know any devs personally, but it seems obvious enough.
    If something like 1% (?) of the playerbase PvPs, why would the devs be motivated to work on an issue that "annoys" PvPers.

    Just saying.
    Good luck man.

    The term has been around for awhile...griefing.
    Why?

    - emotional immaturity and/or instability
    - a desire to push the limits and attempt to disrupt
    - cociopathic behavior
    - boredom
    - amusement derived from other people's reactions

    Good luck in the quest to fix droning. Im not a fan of it either but if you have people here giving you easy fixes, then it seems that you could really spend the time contacting devs about a host of other serious PvP related issues.

    fixing droners

    LaHives - I totally agreed with your previous post. See you at the shore this summer.

    Supermax - Hey buddy ...
    If people get this mad at droning, can you imagine how upset they would be with a guy that used 4-5 accounts and triple venged then applied kin/cold/etc buffs to an i13 Fort?
    Now that was worth griping about...actually, I think i cried all over the boards about your friend for awhile on that one lol.

    Poison - "even if there are campers...just wait it out for 5 or 10minutes"
    It sounds like you solved the droning issue on your own without dev involvement.

If you bought the halloween costume sets and took the Fish head and other options you could even make a Deep One (Cthulu mythos) or a Kuo-Toa (DnD).
    Going the same route...except with some kind of bio hazard/infectious alien disease etc spin.
    Thus was created...Staph Infection.

    but this movie really looks like a steaming pile of Owlbear ****.

    You geeks know what Im talking about.

    PvP in this game is about 90% incredibly annoying and unecessary problems. If you still enjoy it after that, figure out how to play.

    Even if the devs really cared about the PvP aspect of this game, why should they dedicate time and resources to fixing an issue that isnt a design flaw, but a player tactics flaw.

    Pack oranges or dont basecamp...100% solution.

    fixing droners

    You dont need the right secondary or oranges to avoid getting TPd....
    just dont crowd the opposing team's base and there you go.

    Pretty simple actually.

    Also, I applaud your effort @PoisonHeart, but people have been pissed about droning for years.
    I dont think the devs care much about player self inflicted pain.
