Besides, other than a hold, or PVP (which is a whole 'nother ball game, and Castle didn't like the "Teleport is disabled versus suppressed" there,) it can't be interrupted, there's no anti-teleport, you can use it to completely skip spawns if desired, it lets you ignore immobilizes and patches (like caltrops, earthquake, etc.) - you just go from A to B and ignore everything in between.
    Unless you get one of those every increasing missions where TP is supressed entirely and is the only travel power that is.

    Oh, I do. Lived there for a year on an exchange (from NZ, not the UK) and their english was 10 times better than mine.

    I've also heard it said that Kiwi and Aussie accents are closer to those you would have heard in England when they were settles.
  4. Again, you seem to be ignoring all the other bonuses available from the Alpha Slot like Damage, Recharge, Accuracy, Healing, End Reduction, Debuff resistances, Range, Status durations.

    So your blaster can't benifit from Defense and Resistance? They probably can from Damage, Accuracy, Recharge or End Redux. The Alpha slot isn't supposed to (and never was presented as) be able convert your blaster to a ranged scrapper. APP's can to a certain extent. Want more benifit from the Defense or Resistance boosts? Take a Shield power from the APP to mix with tough or weave. Then you'll get a better return.

    So, if I have the cardiac radial boost slotted in the main melee build, can I have it also in the 2nd build, right?
    Not sure at all, my 2nd build need to level yet.
    The Alpha boosts work across all the builds. They are outside the builds and standard power system.

    I20 could turn out to be very interesting.

    The Pred Hami thing was talked about for a bit but even that may be nothing more than a red herring (and is IMO).
    Hami was confirmed to be in Praetoria by Noble Savage. There have been sighting of tentacles over the sonic fences.

    As for hostlers, Oh, we noticed them!

    Have anyone of your recognized that Level 2 is missing when you are doing a Respec? I start with Level 0, followed by Level 1 - and then Level 3. The bug comes within any of my toons.
    That the level your character is for placing the powers. You don't get powers at level 3 you get slots which are placed after choosing all your powers during a respec.

For instance the Defense booster portion of the Neural Radial, accords a 20% increase to defense, with 6% ignoring ED. My Controller needed a bit more Defense so I layed the tier 2 to boost her up. I entered with a range defense of 44.2%, after I slotted the neural Radial it raised to 44.6%, what a piece of trash! Where is my 6%? Turns out, the boost does not include the gains achieved by IO sets! Only those from the powers themselves! So as a support AT, which do not get much for defensive powers (weave and maybe another one such as steamy mist for a Stormy) there is not much there for the alpha to enhance. Perhaps the devs can change the Alpha's to also modify the effects gained thru IO set powers as well and thus make the Alpha's more useful for the support side.
    You know that there are other powers beside defense.... right? That the Alpha Slot wasn't made to turn Support Toons into Tanks? You're controller can't benifit from +recharge? Or End Redux? Or more damage?

    Wasn't the Performance Shifter +end Proc changed to grant 10% of your max end?
    No, the Performance shifter grants you 10% end as recovery, not to the Max. I think the only things that increase your Max are acolades.

It gets to the point where I can't tell if I'm at the end of a map, or if I'm back where I started.
    Glowies also hum so make sure your sound is on. When I first started playing I didn't realise this cos my laptop speakers don't generate this noise and it wasn't untill I put headphones in one day I discovered it.

    The granite model already has this problem. My wee stoner leaves big holes in door frames all the time.
  15. Welcome to the game. Not sure how I could convince you to choose Union of Defiant, but I'm a Union player. Apparently we have the higher population of the 2 but I don't know by how much. Generally people over the whole community are very friendly and you'll find plenty of offers of help.

    If you're in game and need help feel free to send me a global tell to @Dave N Smith. I'm on late most evenings at the moment.

Or like I said a choice per account , example: Roman, Vanguard, whatever else junk, i forget now. Would have been better.
    Really? Easy to get? To get a full set takes... someone posted it earlier, but over 1000 VMerits to unlock. The Roman stuff, 1 run of the ITF. Easy. Now, would I like the option for this to be account wide? Sure. But I don't have the Vanguard costume on any toon. All toons above 40 have the roman one.

    Edit: Oh, and the Rommie weapons require his defeat 5 times, so you need to run it twice. Oh Noes!

    Except some people do it to win. And then take it further to do it and win for money.

If you're not enjoying the time you spend entertaining yourself, what's the point of doing it?
    While I generally play for fun (I do occasionally do things that aren't so much fun to have more fun in the future) it's a bit harsh saying that getting the next goody is the wrong reason to play. Some people ENJOY that. For me, I get the biggest kick out of new powers. Each power level is more fun. Especially with pretty, or heavy hitting, or just plain cool powers. Even building in Mids I put off getting the non fun powers as long as I can. Build up... meh, give me another punch.

    I think the +end from the Proc provides more End than that 14%

    Hmm, now that I can view my build at my level I can see there's a baffling amount of SO/IO/Sets I can add in later if I want to slot for damage, however most of the combinations I've tried end up well below pre-ED damage. Like my previous build I'm getting the recharge rates out of hasten and the accuracy out of targeting drone, so I have slots open for damagedealing.

    Is there any type of recommended slotting for highest damage?
    Find sets with a damage Buff set bonus. I think they bypass ED.

    They are also colour coded aren't they? Green and yellow crates.

    I did my first run with a team of Vets the other day and enjoyed it. And yeah, Battle Maiden encourages communication and movement to a certain degree. I also feel that if people ran the AST as much as the ITF if would pretty quickly become as routine.

    So, I just did the invention tut and made some invention enhancements. I'm normally the kind of guy who googles everything but in this case I'd rather just hear it from you guys as I'd hate to get my slotting wrong this early in the game and wait out a respec to get it right. I reinstalled COH planner (mids hero designer) for some info but for some reason the invention slots are all rated 50..

    So, the noob questions:
    1)I've gathered from the tuts that Invention Enhancements dont dimish by your leveling. I've also read that they can be stacked. Will stacking negate the ED cap in such a way that I can safely six slot for damage with Invention Enhancements?

    2)I tried working this out in the hero designer, but ran into the problem mentioned above. Any advice on this?
    When placing a recipie just type in the level you want it to be when you choose the enhancement.
  24. No, not in the manner you are after.
