DeeplyDippy

Hi all - background info is that Ive come back after over a year away and cant remember much about building. I have played a corrupter before (fire/dark) and enjoyed it all the way to 50, but that was on my Euro account and Im now playing on US servers so I cant check the fire/dark build for info.

Also as a note, my travel power of choice is teleportation, and I always prefer to have hover with it (the amount of times Ive died due to lag mid teleport...).

I also don't know much about either of the powers, but so far enjoying the mix of them and soloing seems quite viable atm.

Anyway heh, Im sure Ive chosen wrong things at the wrong time, especially stamina, but I also have a niggly memory that kin powers when grouping are important (Ill be soloing mostly due to my play times, but will happily group if I can).

I would also like advice on whether the amount of slots per power are correct, plus which epic power pool is best for my build.

Thanks in advance.

Hi and thanks both for the replies.

The delay in my response was due to the fact Chad's suggestion worked, and we've spent the last 6 hours playing

And just for general info, my friend's pc reso is normally 1920x1080, but once he changed it to this in the game options, he reset it back to normal, and could access the game without any problem - and is happily enjoying it

Hi and as a pre-warning thing, I have done a search on what I am after but can't find anything that is similar, but I admit that it may be I have searched incorrectly, so I apologise in advance if I have missed something.

Also, this post is a problem a friend has (yes, they all say that! lol) and not myself, but I will admit it rang reminder bells from years ago when he told me.

My friend has dl'd the game from the official source, it did its thing and he clicked next, and it took him to the login screen.

At this point it changed his resolution to 1024x768 (it usually runs at 1920x1080 - at this point Id like to say mine runs at 1920x1200, it did the resolution thing but didnt have a problem logging me in).

But also at that point, it stopped responding to his mouse, it wouldnt respond to clicking in the user name box, nor if he just typed, did anything seem to appear.

My friend also ran a verification of the files, but still the same problem.


Any advice on this would be great.


Thanks in advance

Kai, that was spot on, thanks so much

Found my toons and servers within 1min of heading there!

Its been a wee while since I played, but decided today to come back and try out the expansion.

Talking about it with a friend of mine, I recommended him to try it (got him a free 7 day trial), and we both installed the game (Ive had a new pc since I last played) but he downloads a fair bit quicker than I do and started to DL earlier than I did.

My friend then sent me an email asking me what server my characters were on, so that while I was still waiting, he could get creating and testing, but on the correct server. And for the life of me I couldn't remember.

And finally we reach the question LOL - is there any way (ala other mmo's) to find a list of the characters on your account and what server they're on, other than logging into game and checking each server?


Thanks in advance

Thanks New Dawn, and for what its worth, I didnt have the red dot when I initially posted, but pretty sure I had it when I made my second post. I just didnt know why I had a red dot - so thanks for the explanation. I can only assume someone took a dislike to my OP, probably my comment about defenders=healers.

IMO it does seem a kind of petty thing to do, when ala Luminara any dislike for my comment could have been addressed, discussed, advice provided any in my case greatfully received, but I guess everyone reacts to comments in their own way.

Unfortunately it does put me off posting further for advice, in case my lack of knowledge on TAs and/or bad wording creates another bad reaction.

So I leave it here and thank everyone for their advice and constructive comments.

To Luminara and Biospark - yup you're both right, I did mean corrupter, not controller - I stand by my "I was having a floaty light moment" excuse on all my errors LOL

For Westley and Luminara - as to my comment that defenders=healers, I meant no disrespect to any defender, and I know they are far more than "just a healer", they offer far more when allowed (having played a /dark corrupter to 50, I know my role was more than just heals, I had so much more to do, it kept me on my toes and was great fun). What I meant by it was that if I wanted to have heals, then I would need to play a defender (unless of course I went for Medicine pool).

Thanks again to those of you who have replied, most of you I have read many posts (and guides) by, and have always been impressed by your comments on other threads, so I do take seriously what you say.

And Luminara, I may just take you up on that offer because you are right, even from reading the forums and all the posts, does not mean I know what a TA can do, it just means I see what other people whinge about a TA LOL, it takes seeing it in action to fully understand.

Now, before you all go running at yet another post along these lines, I would like to state that in my defense I have spent that last 3 hours reading the forums, trying to get comfy with a Defender build.

Now a little bit about me so you will understand where I am coming from and possibly what my problem is (be polite now!), and perhaps be able to point me in the right direction.

I have previously had a Fire/Dark controller, got her to 50, a large proportion of the time I was solo, but of course most villain ATs are designed for more solo play, and the fire/dark controller even more so.

But because I want a lvl 50 hero (for the warshade etc) I have to decide what to play. Now my background, from all the MMOs Ive played going back, geesh, 15 years I have always played a healer - its hard for me not to have a heal on me to help someone out (except for that time I made a Grav/FF controller - it was my first char when CoV came out, she's 33 bless her, and has been 33 for oooh 3-4 years lol).

I also dislike getting up close and personal, so none of this blapper/flapper/whatever thing for me - I like to work at range, tho I am aware this isn't always possible. Also important is I never EVER EVER plan to pvp (I dislike, detest, bemoan pvp with a vengeance!) so I don't want powerchoices that are great for solo pvp but suck solo pve.

Now comes the contradictory part, due to being on lots of medication (I'm often floaty light then Mrs Sleepyhead) it is not often I feel/am capable of grouping, so I also need a defender that I can solo, especially early hours when not many people on. So it does make having a heal being somewhat pointless, but for when I can group, I want to be useful.

I am also used to group play, and having messed around with lots of ATs in the past, with different powersets, I am fully aware melees really dislike their team members using KBs alot/badly, so I have learnt the hard way when and when not to use them during grouping, so those kind of powersets should not be ruled out, especially if it helps soloing.

Ok think that about covers most things, and I'm sorry that I have waffled on, but I'm in a floaty light stage and I hope the above makes some sense. If you have any questions, please ask away.

I want to thank in advance for any comments in case I forget later. I also want to say that if people think Im better off playing a different hero class, please suggest away - like I say, apart from my grav/ff, I really havent touched hero classes much, so know very little about them - I just know defenders=healers.

Thanks again.
