EtherealStar

Are you talking about new characters for the patch?

I had reserved "Temporal Girl" before the issue was released, and to be honest I was surprised it wasn't taken.

I didn't save any others, though I'll be setting up and designing my street justice tanker before much longer. (I still can't decide on a primary, but it will probably just be invulnerability. I don't want willpower, shield, or super reflexes for this tanker, and even not including those, invulnerability seems like the best fit...)

I got disconnected from Virtue, and trying to log in has given me "DBserver is down" error messages and other things, after waiting 2-3 minutes for the game to stop freezing, where I am booted to the log in screen.

I haven't tried every other server, but I can confirm that at least some other servers appear to be working. The one I tried was Union.

Edit: It appears to only be my redside characters, I'll try to confirm this by testing my other characters as well.

Edit 2: It actually only appears to be a single character... why would it do this? This character is an Arachnos soldier, if that matters.

Edit Final: I am told that it is the Cap Diable zone that is down, and anyone with characters there have been having trouble logging in. If this could be fixed I would appreciate it, but I mostly just want to report this.

Edit:This was eventually fixed, but hopefully this won't become regular...

Why not, instead of only giving us the option of 1 transfer per month, let us choose between 1 transfer, 1 rename, 1 power respec token, or 2 character slots?

Transfers generally aren't very useful to people on a monthly basis, but additional character slots definitely would be. We could progressively make new characters each month to keep things interesting. Likewise, players tend to change power setups every now and then, and a respec token would be useful. A rename token is an extra option for those interested, as the transfer should also be.

This is just my two cents, though... I personally have no use for transfers whatsoever, and likely will never use them, but I could and would use the other ones.

Thank you for your advice. I feel a little better about beam rifle. I'm still not sure what I want to do yet, but I might give it a try.

These powersets are very similar in that they both focus on single target damage, and I've heard nothing but bad things about beam rifle. My question is whether beam is currently better than ice, or if ice is better all around.

I know that ice offers a lot of control and utility, beam rifle does not appear to offer much in the way of that. I am well aware that ice has more control and very likely more utility, but does it do more damage as well? Does beam rifle offer more AOE damage? These are the kind of things I am curious about.

If it matters, I will be going ice/ice or beam/devices. I have specific character concepts and builds up already for both. So feel free to compare /ice to /devices as well.

Does beam have any redeeming value for blasters or is it really as bad as they say? I know it's still a bit early to be asking these kinds of questions, but I like the beam rifle a lot. I simply don't want to play a broken/terrible powerset, and regret it at higher levels. I don't hate ice though or anything -- I'm perfectly fine with continuing to play with that instead.

I think this is a great idea!

I have an idea though! How about making an architect mission based on Hoverboard racing? Is it possible to have no enemies, but a clickable item at the end of the stage? This would be even more interesting since the level is randomly generated, and there's no feasible way they could cheat.

What do you think? Could this work?

PS: If you felt especially evil, you could even make it so the switch spawned an overwhelming amount of enemies that would kill everyone who was behind. (:<

I just returned to the game, so I could probably work well with this. I'll wait for the official explanation so that I can appropriately respond to it with all of my characters.

I think they want new players to pay for VIP access, or use premium to get a taste, and for higher end players who quit playing to come back since they get a lot of the features VIP players get.

I don't have any real opinion on this since it won't be changing how I play, really... if I'm interested in CoH, I will buy a subscription, if not, it will be premium and I doubt I will be playing it.

I enjoy CoH a lot right now, though, so I can't see myself dropping VIP any time soon!

Fair enough! I might even be interested in Titan weapons -- but I won't purchase both. So I guess, in a sense, it's good that it will take some time to come out. Maybe I will get some information on Titan Weapons by then. ... Street Justice still looks more fun, though.

I am just wondering how complete the powerset 'street justice' is, and when it will be released.

I find that powerset to be very interesting, and would like to create a tanker with it as a secondary.

I know these are completely different powersets, plants being about control, illusion being about pets, poison being more about debuffs than buffs.

I am also aware that time might be leaps and bounds better than poison.

Still... I'm curious what people think of this. How do you think they will compare? I know I could just make both, but until I have some level 50's I don't want to focus on more than one powerset combination per archetype.

Right now I have a gravity/energy dominator, actually my namesake, Ethereal Star, and I wouldn't mind something a little different on the other side. Likewise I have a pistols/kinetic corrupter. My defender is empathy and my mastermind force fields, so I do not have any debuffing support powersets really. And plenty of other characters, I won't list them all here though.

Both powersets interest me, though, and I've having a hard time choosing. I haven't experienced either secondary, but I have experience with Illusion and Plants, both are quite fun.

Which one is more powerful does matter to me a little, as if one was groundbreakingly powerful or ridiculously weak, I would take the better/viable one, but I don't care about small differences or simply different playstyles.

One thing I am curious about Time and Poison is that both have -regen. It's not why they interest me, but I've noticed since I've played that this is very useful (irradiation) against Arch Villains or so I have been told. How strong is the -regen for these powersets? Is it enough to matter?

Can anyone give me advice or recommendations to help me choose between these? Thank you for your time.

PS: I am not really interested in mixing these, such as plants/time or going for completely different powerset combinations such as earth/time. If you have suggestions that is fine but I already have two distinct character concepts already set up that I am interested in. The only other powerset I might be interested in is plants/storm summoning (which I actually already have, but quit playing once /time and /poison were announced).

I've decided to simply go dark/dark. Thank you for your help!

What has been revealed about Titan weapons so far, besides the fact they are massive two handed weapons? How big are they, and when can we expect to see them?

If this is the closest I will ever get to broadsword, I might take it... I can't decide what to do with a tanker.

Right now I've developed a basic character concept, and both of these archetypes interest me somewhat... so my question is, out of these two, what are the pros and cons of either?

In particular I've never heard of or seen a dual blades tanker before, and it does not really seem overly 'tanky'. There are no guides on it whatsoever, and there seem to be almost no dark tankers (of either powerset), so... anyways, does anyone know these powersets well enough to give me any advice?

(My ideal Tanker character would be sword/shield, but sadly that does not seem like it will ever be an option)

Couldn't they just replace parry with another ability if that's the only problem?

Edit: I apologize if this is 'necromancing' a thread, I was searching through the forums for Broadsword as a tanker powerset, and came across this.

Thank you!

I've searched everywhere, including paragon wiki and the forums. In fact I've spent the last hour searching...

So, what does the female wolf costume from animal pack look like? Does it even have a female variant? If anyone has this pack and could post a picture of what it looks like, I would be really, really grateful!

Thank you for your time.

PS: I am aware that the wolf set has some issues. I am also aware that I can't purchase this until issue 21 if I decide to do so.
