Ok let me say this, whoever came up with this is awsome. I was skeptical at first but I tried it myself. Got to 22 in a little over an hour. My character is DB/Elec. Whats crazy is yesterday I was trying to level up another character doing AE stuff and completely skipped over this due to the exemplar to level 3 thing. Had I known this yesterday I would be almost 50 by now. That being said I need to know are there missions like that for an Elec/SD scrapper or Elec/Fire brute that isnt a fire cyborg farm?

I got a question, if two people lvl pact and one changes alignment do they have to break the level pact?

Quote:I asked castle on this a while back and he said it was done intentionally because WP got protection for psionics and knockback protection. Noticed how every set that gets psionic protection has that knockback vulnerability? Well a weaker taunt aura was the trade off for that. To me thats dumb to penalize powersets on things that they need to do their job. It kind of goes back to when tanks used to have single target taunt and everyone took provoke because it worked so much better. It took alot of screaming about it to finally get it changed for tanks back in the earlier issues. Right now this part about the knockback has gone on too long and I dont see them changing it for the powersets or fixing the taunt aura issue. Quite honestly I see them actually fixing gravity control finally before they fix WP taunt aura. In terms of managing it, just tell your friend that if she knocks it back she just bought it and that is how you stop people from scattering stuff you have aggroed or keeps them engaging groups ahead of time.Originally Posted by UberRod
They just need to fix the taunt aura in Willpower to match all the other taunt auras in the game. -
Quote:Easier said than done. I have seen in games like Aion where chat was completely taken over due to spammers. While I dont use local that much I can see it being taken over to the point where legit users of that chat channel would not be able to use it at all.Originally Posted by Neuronia
I basically just deleted or gave away everything since I'm too lazy to list something if it doesn't return 30-50 million a sale minimum. Even then it's kinda "meh".
That's why I'm hoping we get new stuff we can sell, there's always the initial greed rush for stuff like the new inspirations and whatnot.
Spam can be solved on two levels:
1)Game stops it for you, chat disables for two minutes.
2)You can ignore the person or spamignore them.
F2P looks awesome so far. I'm probably going to drop $20-$50 on the first day to unlock new powersets and reward tiers, then I'll see. I begged Zwillinger for purples and PvP IOs for real money but he basically nixed it.
Which kinda sucks as people are buying this stuff off RMTers (along with Inf) so it's odd that Paragon wouldn't just want to undercut them, though I do see the balance issues/Market issues. -
Quote:Seriously what other powers would you take? Its not like the epics are all that great or something for melee characters. You got more than enough room in a build now to take all this stuff. The IO costs can be very small if you use A-merits and AE tickets.Originally Posted by Speed Slasher
Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
For me that is an investment. You're taking 2 other pool sets to supplement your secondary and need to take a couple powers just to get to weave, you've taken practically the entire secondary already. Not to mention the slotting. Do you not take aid-self as well? Why would a build not take aid-self with SR? Are small purples not as useful if you hit the soft-cap?
For the crash in elude wouldn't just a properly timed blue inspiration prevent your toggles from coming down? I mean you have 3 minutes to work with and go crazy with elude. If the threat survived it probably deserved to lol. -
I might be late on this but someone posted a youtube link in game on one of the global channels last night. The animations for this look excellent. Its probably the best looking thing they have done since the begining in terms of how fluid it looks. Its almost like how they did the chanter staff attack animations on Aion. I would post the link but the video was made private by the owner so I dont think it will do you much good. Anyone else hear or see anything about this?

Quote:Be careful what you asked for you just might get it. In almost all cases in this game when they have done psionics for players it has always sucked in some way. I am very fearful of it in that they will do it wrong and it will have suck *** damage. For blasters they totally gutted the range on it and moved the aoe to the secondary, on doms its better because of the range. Defenders and corrupters have piss poor damage anyways so psi sucks for them. And if we get it they better make it psi smashing damage otherwise if they go psi lethal you will never be able to kill anything in the 40s in a timely manner.Originally Posted by Ghost_Ripper
I for one say BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been asking for Psychic Melee weapons and/or Psychic melee with fists wrapped in Psychic auras (like Energy or Dark Melee, but not a reskin, something totally new), since the advent of Dual Blades. When WE, as the community of City OF...voted back in the day for the first new powers, number 1 was Shields, if I rember correctly, but they said it'd be to hard to do at the time. Second was Psychic Weapons/Melee. Third was Dual Blades, and some other stuff after that. What the H...E..double Hockey Sticks happend to OUR DANG PSYCHIC WEAPONS/MELEE? I want my FREAKING Psychic melee warrior with Psy weapons. I even made up a set for it and posted it...and recieved very positive feedback on my set. So if I can put something up as a fan, why can't they get cracking and release what the FANS want, HAVE asked for? This is the damn reason I left and tried other games, even other
, dare I say, Hero games, that had psychic weapons and melee powers. Everytime I came back, and left, I would answer the, "what would bring me back question?" with PSYCHIC WEAPONS and PSYCHIC MELEE!!! BAH....Guess I'll have to leave again, and comeback when they get the FREAKING DARNED HINT!!! -
Sorry for the thread jack but I wanted to ask if a person was to use all purples whats the lowest possible level you can exemplar to and still have perma dom with no haste. Only saying exemplar to not for the set bonuses but to have the powers active so they still count or do set bonuses on purples still work even at lvl 1 if you dont have the powers those where slotted into?

Quote:Mez on anything thats not a controller or dominator just isnt worth getting in my opinion. At best you can stop minions possibly ltns no bosses unless its select builds that can get 2 holds and even then its kind of spotty due to the recharge to duration ratio. Generally I skip all mezzes unless its controller/dominator unless I am using the mez power as an IO mule of some sort.Originally Posted by Madamme Mayhem
So Corruptors have psi mastery which offers an ST hold, AoE sleep, and PBAoE confuse. How do these compare to that for a controller and dominator? Would a few hits of the sleep send an AV to dream land same goes for the hold.

Quote:As much as I would love to see that I would be kind of pissed though especially after going for field crafter. Thats alot of inf to blow at once. Personally I do not see this F2P thing working out well at all. It just turns CoH into farmville or some other F2P game like say dungeon runners. I am mainly worried about the level of spam we will be getting especially since they have said absolutely nothing about what they are going to do to prevent it. Right now its not really worth their time to do it due to you only being limited on trials to lvl 14 or so but once trials can go to 50 that means they will be spamming every where more hardcore than before.Originally Posted by reiella
That scale with your level. Kinda interested in how that'll work out personally. I'd like if they removed the level component from inventions in general. Would be a mess with regards to influence sinks though.
-
Interesting answers. So what is that key bind to detoggle OG with placate? and what are some good franken slotting suggestions for CoF and dark regeneration.
-
I wanted to ask a few of you guys if you have this power. I have not had a chance to test this since the changes. My previous dark stalker I deleted it due to how this power did not work good with hide and such. I am trying this again and I wanted to know since the changes how well does it work with hide and placate and also the frenzy insta-hide alignment power. Like would slotting for more fear duration help more if it does suppress with hide now?

Quote:Server transfer. Thats what I did many months ago when they had free transfers. I have like 2 characters still on pinnacle to move.Originally Posted by Stardanno
Gone for about a year, just got back. Unfortunetly, Pinnacle is dead as a door nail. What is a 50 supposed to do if there isn't anyone else playing?
If there any way to earn Incarnate XP, or get the materials needed to craft Incarnate stuff if you have to go solo? -
Basically it comes down to this one thing and one thing only that will get us dev attention. Someone has to ask about stalkers at Comic Con. If that does not happen stalkers will never get looked at period. I think if someone takes the time to go to comic con and asks this question instead of all the other retarded questions that usually gets asked at these kinds of events this will make an impact.

Thats very interesting with EM/SD. I just need a way to mitigate the self damage and come up with a cool name for the character. I just did up a km/sd and so far at 24 it seems good but I can see how EM would be I just need way to soft cap it easier without going the route of the nerve alpha.
-
Why would anyone want a nuke thats primarily lethal or smashing damage? I dont care how cool it might look its going to be complete waste due to how it works with all the insane resistances we have in the end game. Thats kind of the same reason why I am against having a psionic nuke too, its going to be a huge waste of damage.

Quote:Energy Melee. I am mainly looking for burst damage. Currently I am giving the scrapper build a try just for the hell of it. I might still do it as a brute to see what will be the bigger edge once you count in fury.Originally Posted by Colossal
Yup, /SD is just more powerful (damage wise) on a scrapper. But that being said KM most likely has the fastest DPS and I can't really distinguish between DPS and killing an EB/AV in the fewest amount of hits possible...the one with the highest DPS will do that anyway (usually, depending on the attack chain). But if it's burst damage you're talking about than I would definitely give the nod to SS. Are you talking about Energy or Electric melee?
-
I got 3 builds I am thinking of KM/SD, SS/SD, and EM/SD. The what I am looking to do is kill bosses extremely fast with this build or to put out big numbers against AVs. In each case I know fury takes a minute but I am good at getting fury started. I am not looking for DPS but more so who will kill the boss/eb/av in the fewest hits with the attacks as they recharge.

Quote:Again as I said useless, in almost all case a troller is going to out damage them. So why even go there. The travel power thing might have been nice in the begining but we are at a point where you can get travel powers at lvl 1 its pointless, everyone gets stamina at lvl 2 so I do not see how sb is going to help much. Also for the record avs resists debuffs pretty badly so you get hardly anything especially if its +4 so thats kind of bad for all.Originally Posted by TehHippeh
So, I am not sure how to read the combination of the two quotes above. I was responding to your mention of Issue 0, which would mean since the game began. So, that compares a defender to only a controller. I would take a defender over a controller 100% of the time because I would rather have blasts and the damage over the control (For PVE). I guess, though, you meant to mostly compare a corruptor with a defender.
Having the powers earlier is a great boon if you ever exemp. Having FS for an extra 6 levels is super duper for a kin. Having SB by level 12 is pretty nice. Having IR be available in the teens so you can skip travel powers is wonderful. Having the rad debuffs earlier is very awesome for lower-level arcs with AVs.
For minions and LTs and even bosses, sure, maybe the buff or debuff modifiers are a wash. But for AVs and GMs or +4 foes give me the defender please. I like that I get more end drain on my elec blast, or more -tohit on a dark blast.
And for the record, there is a wide valley between useless and better. You seem to think the distance is just one step from most of your posts that I have seen. I probably can't prove at all that a defender is better, at least not definitively. But I think I can show that they are not useless. -
Quote:If you look at how good incarnates and IOs are then you dont need defenders for their debuffs and suck *** damage when you can get more damage from everyone else.Originally Posted by Auroxis
Because people need the better buff/debuff capabilities to stay alive? Dead people deal no damage.
And before you bring up how people don't need buffers to stay alive due to IO's and incarnate powers, I'll say this: 20% higher damage is a bit of a wash once you consider how much damage Reactive, Judgement, and (buffed)Lore pets do. -
Quote:So what does a defender bring to the table that the other ATs that have those same sets do then? a 20% higher buff/debuff is a bit of a wash once you consider how much more damage the others do.Originally Posted by TehHippeh
I think once again you've shown me that whatever game you're playing, it is not COH.

I am considering buying a mac book pro pretty soon but I need a few questions answered. For those who play on it how does the game handle performance wise. The reason I asked is because I was wondering if it was just better to setup boot camp and just play it from windows 7 on another partition than to run it just on snow leopard or lion when it comes out.

Quote:They been useless since issue 0 what are you talking about. There really isnt much going for them, the higher debuffing means nothing considering what all the other ATs can do in terms of damage when they have the same powerset. The only reason I can see making a defender is to get the powers earlier and thats pretty much it.Originally Posted by Generis
With the next power proliferation, Corrupters will end up with exactly he same powers as Defenders, including the longed for Psychic Blast.
Therefore, the only difference i see between them now is that one starts critting on a low target - Scourge - the other one starts getting an end discount and a 30prct dmg buff if he's in team, and someone in his team is taking damage.
Tbh i'd go for scourge any day on a Psy/Pain or Psy/Rad corr.
What do you guys think? Am i missing something or are they reducing blaster to the 2nd most useless AT after PBs? -
Quote:I pretty much stopped doing trials because of this crazy crap which isnt fair. This should have never been a random thing ever. Now some one has posted numbers on how screwed up this is will there be more changes to make the system actually fair?Originally Posted by Snow Globe
There isn't really anywhere to go from that. Well, except that I know of one person that told me that after 50 trials without a very rare or rare that they intend to quit because the game isn't treating his participation equally with other players.
Trial rewards shouldn't be lotteries. -
Even before incarnates I felt blasters need some kind of help. The damage difference vs the other ATs is no where near enough considering their squishieness. I can say without a doubt getting a blaster to 50 was the hardest thing I ever done. When I look at comparable ATs in other MMOs it makes me wonder why they screwed blasters over the way they did. The whole range thing being their defense is a bold face lie especially since almost all the critter factions will out range you at some point.
