... Or some form of Defender or Corrupter. On some servers it becomes very easy to find a team with a support-type people just aren't on all that often. The real advantage here is that team-friendly types get a much better idea of the overall mechanics of the game whereas Brutes and Scrappers really don't have to have any awareness of what else their teammates might or might not be doing.
You're right I should be more clear on the levelling path. Rule of thumb is that if the contact pops up in a window when you level up, its a newer contact that you should certainly do. Alternatively, at level 15 or so start Faultline, at level 20 do Field Agent Keith Nance and the sequel arc and also Roy Cooling. Also do the Penny Yin TF. Further, buy First Ward and do those arcs as they are excellent. At level 25 do the Admiral Sutter TF. At level 30 do the Night Ward arcs, and at level 35 start the Rikti War Zone arcs. You'll also want to do the Mercedes Sheldon arc in the Midnight club and the Imperious TF in Cimerora.Quote:How would a new player know whether content is new or old?
As a rule of thumb, villains get sensible, well-written stories that play out within a single zone that matches their level range.
If you buy the Side Switching system you'll start getting Tip missions from enemies which are fun little one offs that let you be as heroic or evil as you want. Its well worth the price.
Because the Tutorial missions were fun and the Hollows is where fun goes to die. The Hollows is full of long tedious missions halfway across the map surrounded by 8 purple ruin mages.Quote:Originally Posted by RoderickThe "tutorial" missions from Twinshot/Graves are useless as far as tutorials go - heck, one of the things they try to teach you is how to train, regardless of the fact that you can't even talk to the contacts until you've trained at least four times. On top of that, they're HORRIBLE. Those two arcs are the ONLY content in the game I refuse to ever do again.
The Hollows, on the other hand, is some of the BEST low level content in the game. Why would you direct people away from it?
Yeah that happens alot. We here at CoH are all about making more alts that we have time to play. I've got about 30 characters but only 4 of them have ever gotten to level 50.Quote:Originally Posted by Ryzzhani can literally sit for more than an hour trying to get the perfect look for my hero/villian. -
I watched the first season, it was pretty good. Still waiting on the second season though.

At best, they should update Skyway with the damage done in the Admiral Sutter TF and turn it into a Hazard Zone with a new zone arc.
Otherwise, its just taking space, just like half of the CoH zones. -
Well, here's some starter tips for when you download the game:
1.) Start with a Scrapper or Brute, they're the easiest to play and will help you get into the swing of things.
2.) Use Help Chat if you're lost or don't know what you're doing.
3.) Do the Tutorial Missions from either Doctor Graves or Twinshot once you hit level 5.
4.) Do not do the Death From Below trial until after you've gone through the low level contacts at least once. People will farm that trial to quickly get to the higher levels but on your first character, you'll want to experience everything.
5.) Avoid the Hollows. If the game wants you to talk to David Wincott, don't.
6.) Do the various low level contacts, if you're a hero, try to avoid the older content as alot of it didn't age well.
7.) If you're a Hero, at level 10 do the Positron TF in Steel Canyon.
8.) If you see anyone who's name is in Yellow, they're self designated as Helpers so they should help you out if you have any questions. -
So its basically Dredd besieging a tower? Sounds like an old school video game plot.
I"m down with that. -
Not gonna lie, when I read a Batman comic, I hear Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy in my head.

Its very important that the curtains match the drapes <.<

Or it could be C) utilizing preexisting lore in a new and creative way as opposed to inventing something completely out of left field.

I have it on good authority that Wolverine fought the Nazis. At least in current continuity.

I24 Patch Notes:
In order to alleviate the crushing amount of debt that Paragon City has experienced in the last 8 years, the entire Blaster AT has been deleted. -
Am I the only person who didn't like All-star Superman and Batman: Year One?
Both Grant Morrison and Frank Miller are highly overrated. -
Council: Archons who actually use their shields, Darkness Controlling Vampyres, Beam Rifle Marksmen.
5th Column: Reinforcements from Axis America!
Malta: Snipers, Trappers, Beam Riflers, Robotics MMs.
Freaks: More sonic freaks, the aforementioned pyro-freak.
Circle of Thorns: Demon summoners, Necromancers, Time Mages.
Crey: Beam Riflers, Titan Weapon carrying Power Tanks, Psionic Paragon Protectors.
That's just to start. -
Last (and only) time I did Dr. Q, 2 team members, both of our buffers, bailed about 8 missions in. It took just over 8 hours to finish. That's with stealthing where ever possible.
-
There's also the Praetorian Underground.
-
It ended suddenly because its just the first 3rd of a 30 minute episode.
-
Bloody Tendencies.
Sounds like a side effect of a diarrhea medication. -
You're not suggesting he's the guy from Star Trek 5, are you? Because that would be terrible.
-
There's also the Tech Labs/Longbow bases/Portal Corp.

I'd watch it. So long as she can pull off the Doctor's eccentricism.

From what I understand, it was going to be the CoH equivalent to crafting, only more cumbersome and with fewer benefits than the invention system.

This should be fixed now.

apparently there's alot of issues with geometry not lining up quite right when creating a completely new tileset, plus spawn points, glowie points, and so forth all have to be created from scratch as well.
Meanwhile, if you do it right, nobody will even realize that the map their on is a retexture, especially if its only going to be a one off map. -
"But sir, how do you use a doughnut as a weapon?"
"Lets find out." -
Dunno if this has been mentioned yet, but the botton half of the Bordello doesn't match the top half. I've got the exact same colors set for both but the bottom half comes out much darker every time

If you're running blueside, then the leveling path you'd probably want to take doesn't really care about origins.
Do the new Atlas Park contacts->Death from Below Trial till level 10 (should only take 1 run if you aren't already there)->New Positron TF Part 1->Faultline->the 2 new Steel Canyon arcs (start with Laura Lockhart then do Graham Easton) plus the Midnight Club arc->Positron Part 2->At level 20 do the new Talos Island arcs (start with Field Agent Keith Nance)->Penelope Yin TF->First Ward-> Admiral Stutter TF->Night Ward->Rikti War Zone
This will hit all of the newer content with all of the interesting story mechanics and gameplay events aside from the Praetorian stuff, which you should also play through at least once.
At this point content starts to petter out till the Incarnate stuff, so one thing you can do is tip missions and switch sides over to redside for the superior 40-50 content then switch back to blue once you hit 50. This will also have the side benefit of opening all of the Patron Power Pools for your use.
Be sure to also do the Signature Story Arc for each level range as well.
