Although these are stronger Praetorians, with Cole feeding them some of his Phenomenal Cosmic Power. And the arcs are still around, too.
Well, that's because the Well was focused on Cole, instead of granting power to everyone. Also, semi-spoilers, but Praetorian Hami may not have actually been defeated by Cole.
Where does it say that Cole is powering the other Preatorians? You know of any web site with the "story" of preatoria in details or somewhere with the TF dialogues/clues? Kinda hard for someone with english as secondary language to read the wall of text spam while fighting lvl 54 creeps.
For that i used to go to paragonwiki (the titan one) but it's very minimalist with the iTrials. -
Oh! That comment about invading force reminds me.
During the Barracuda SF, we killed so many ambushes that they just stopped.(took like 30-45 minutes) Defeating the WHOLE 5th Column, one soldier at the time! That was epic. =D -

NICE, a super necro!
Though, i'm extremely confused. How did i find this post? I only checked the first page of the virtue forum! O.o (or so i though...) -
Not really a suggestion, but i didn't know where to put that. ^^;;
It doesnt fit in the AT and powersets forum, and it's not just for one server, the usual places i go.
In a way, i just want to throw my opinion out there and maybe the devs will think about it and do epic story arcs for me and those who aggree with my post. =D
Didn't though about it, but what you're saying about the lack of real enormous entity must be part of it.
But it has a lot to do with genre too i think. Nobody is really impressed that Spider-Man helped defeat Galactus the 7th time he came to earth. (random number, but i'm sure he did fight him) Cause there was probably at least a dozen other heroes. When he's fighting Venom, the Green Goblin or Doctor Doom all alone or in a duo, now that's an awesome fight!
Same for Batman. Who cares he beat Dark Seid with the Justice League. People will remember his fight with the Joker.
The punching big bags of HP is particularily true lately for some challenge. Especialy when it doesnt make that much sense lore-wise. (Romulus Phalanx Control, the computer with more HP then Statesman!) -
Best thread ever. So many awesome costumes. @_@
Bonus point for Citadella. I ... feel....pretty! XD -
So.... what kind of story arcs, TF or things make you feel the most epic in CoX?
I remember a long while ago, lots of people were complainning on the forum that we weren't heroic enough, that we were just the freedom phalanx's sidekick. (or arachnos, i'll stay blue side for simplicity)
Not long ago, one of the devs mentionned in some incarnate interview that it was kinda over, that now we were there to fight threats even them couldn't stop.
Is that how people feel? Personnaly, i feel way more epic when i'm doing something alone or when it's a "fair fight". Here are some exemple:
STF vs LRSF: In STF, you end up being 8 vs Lord Recluse alone-ish (flyer might pop back, his bane spiders dont count so much, he's an MM and they are just nameless goons) Compare that to LRSF, you're 8 vs 8. So LRSF is a clear win for me.
Old Preatorians vs New: In the old arcs, most people could solo against at least some of the EB. Even with AVs, you only needed 8 people max to beat them (some extreme case soloing the AV). Now, when you look at the same chracters, you need to be a league. So 16 to 24! Seems like we're weaker then we used to.
Who's the strongest incarnate? Nobody will ever beat Emperor Cole i'm guessing. It took a huge bunch of us to beat him. Then Battalion will come, but i'm guessing it will also be a league TF, so we'll need a bunch of people to beat what Cole intended to fight alone. (Kinda like Preatoria Hami, he soloed it! Haven't of a player doing that...)
So what do you prefer? The big bad at the end of new content being a single ultra-powerfull entity or a team? The epic story being a TF or a story arc that you can do with 1-2 friends (or solo if you're good/have the right AT)?
Not all new content is that way though! If you check the SSA, fight very powerfull foes one on one! (or the 5 vs 5, one of my favorite moment ever. You think you're 1 vs 5, then you see your backup, redside at least)Same for the whole Mot story arc. You can end up defeat him all by yourself.
Personnaly, i hope they'll be more of those kind. So Battalion being a team/mob/army, or just a crazy entity that mutiplicate so that there's a total number bigger then the league. I'd love that a whole lot more then just Battalion being one huge lvl 65 GM that we bunch 50 vs 1. =p -
Quote:They are making a global change to the way ALL attacks work? o_oOriginally Posted by Nihilii
This is all going to change very soon with I24, getting more complicated if you want to minmax, but at the same time more smooth and intuitive for casual use, faster recharging and activating attacks not being the unequivocally best option anymore.

Quote:Cool, glad there is only those 3.Originally Posted by ComixGeek
You can get Lone Wolf with teammates (just refusing other help). And while those three are the only ones that don't have Hero/Villain equivalents, all the Achievement badges for leveling, healing, mez, etc etc aren't just simple renames like they are for heroes and villains, they're completely new badges (with new badge numbers) that you can't have simultaneously with the hero/villain versions.
For Lone Wolf..... it really makes absolutly no sense. Don't get help from those X weak incarnates, but you can have help from those 7 min-maxed incarnates. -
So, i made this build! ANd with the alpha and hide's unsurpressed defence, i'm just a little shy of 45% def for m/a. Any idea without gimping one of the attack power? AS will have the ATO, for the other melee powers, what would be a good slotting to have good % and good set bonuses?
Also, am i overkill with the endurance recovery?

Is there other Praetorian only badges except Moral High Ground, Loyalist and Resistance Member? I'm not asking about simple name change like Praetor for reaching 50. Only those with no equivalent blue-red side.
Just curious, but can you get Lone Wolf if you're in team? Or you have to be solo as well as refusing the incarnates help? -
Awww.... well, thanks for the help!
In theory it sounded nice, but i didn't know how much it would be resisted. -
Just came back after 2 years break. I'm falling in love with CoH again, lots of new stuff and i'll be able to revisit everything is used to do a lot and it will feel new.
However.... i'm really sad to see we still don't have the option to have tattoos on girl. We'd really need a tanktop with sleeves option like guys, and biniki with full tattoo. Possibly also the sexy corset that tsoo have with sleeves tattoo.
And there's no excuse not to do it, since the design already exist in game on some NPC!
Hope i'll see that soon, even if i have to unlock it with badge or paragon points. =) -
Hi all!
With post talking about interface for AV soloing, i mostly just see reactive or degenerative.
Would Diamagnetic be a good choice? Or it's far behind those two?
What about GMs? -
Quote:That sir is....HERESY!Originally Posted by mauk2
I have multiple toons with bs, ax, and mace, all at 50. Mace is noticeably better, and I even skipped clobber to avoid the stun.
Clobber is the most awesome power ever, nobody should ever skip it. =(
And that's coming from a guy with a petless MM and my main (SS/invuln) still have a build that skipped invincibility. =p -
Quote:I checked and yeah, seems they changed energy aura for brute and scrapper.Originally Posted by PrincessDarkstar
Energy Aura does have a taunt aura. One of the few sets that do.
A taunt aura and they removed the combat-stealth.
Not sure i'll make /EA, that was definitively the unique selling point of the set for me. =/ -
I didn't know about the new -rech aura. Hopefully, i won't have too much problems if i'm with other teamates, since scrapper won't have the taunt part.
Nice to know everything is good in it now!
I won't be TW, but i'm interested in your build. See what kind of slotting you do in EA and what kind of bonus you aim for. -
So....came back after a huge break and i'm wondering if EA still have it's combat stealth? Does it still let you beat some people in a mob without the others seeing you? (not always but it used to work maybe 50% of the time)
Also, what powers are usually skipped? Any that are plain horrible or not worth it in some build? -
Quote:2a) applies to scrapper KM too?Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
You are wrong.
Kinetic Melee has a few things going for it that Energy Melee can't even hope to compete with:
1) Its AoE power, Burst has a 100% chance to critical when Hidden.
2a) Concentrated Strike will instantly recharge Build Up instead of dealing extra damage when it crits.
2b) When you put the Stalker ATO Chance to Hide in Assassin's Strike, it will fire every time you use it. So, use AS, automatically Hide.
2c) Concentrated Strike will automatically crit when Hidden.
I'll let you figure out how 2a, 2b, and 2c relate to each other
KM is pretty high on the single target damage charts for the above reasons.
Street Justice is apparently the highest damaging single target set currently available to stalkers.
In the quote, i was talking about scrapper(theorically)/brute though. They don't have the same set and ATO then stalkers. Does KM for brute also do more ST then EM?
StJ is also the highest ST set for scrapper? Or it's mostly on stalker that it's superior?
What's the difference in play style now between scrapper and stalker? Are they pretty similar? Wich one is better at dealing damage? ( for burst it's stalker, but for continous DPS who wins?) -
Quote:I love EM for it's animation and i think it does more damage then KM? (might be wrong)Originally Posted by PRAF68_EU
They get Kinetic Melee though, which is basically "fixed" Energy Melee.
You can make Spines into flints or crystals in power customisation.
While Spines look cool, it's really not a ST set. Like.... the worst. =p
What about the other two new sets?Quote:Whilst staff is a great set, it is valued more for it's AoE, survivability, and utility, not for hitting the top of the single target damage charts. -
So.... i'm going to make a melee character and saddly, scrappers still don't have Stone Melee or Energy Melee. However, there's 3 new sets and stalkers got changed.
I'm hesitating between:
em/something stalker. The secondary would be one with no or almost no fx.
kat/ea or WM/ea scrapper
or maybe one of the new power sets.
Wich one should be better at ST damage while having okay survivability? I don't know much about staff, TW and StJ....
I'm planning to IO that character like crazy, get accolades, and all the incarnates! I'm just posting here cause i'll only sub in a few days. =p
Thanks for the help!
P.S. Actually, if anyone have a list of the different melee set's ST capabilities, that would be awesome. I know there was a bunch of those comparaison on the scrapper forum 2 years ago... -
Thanks everyone for the help. =D
I have only 14 reward points and from the link, i need 27 points. =( I'd be much better just subscribbing then paying 100$+. Probably soon, my friend is waiting for his referal bonus.
Is AS still very long to use? Inside combat and while hidden? Or both times are different now?
Don't worry StarGeek, i wouldnt dump an almost purpled build for fun. But thanks for reminding me i have multiple builds, i've been trying to fight lvl 53 with my unslotted build. It was painfull... =p
Funny thing, i have access to First Ward and Dark Astoria. And my purples seems to still be working, at least partly. (3X ultimate fire and cold resistance bonus O.o) -
Hi all! Just came back to the game after about 2 years of break. When i left, 19.5 was just out. I checked paragonwiki to see what i missed, but just to make sure.
Stalker got a big change, how does it change things in pratice? Any other AT got changes?
Aside from the incarnates slots and trials, what's new?
What's the concensus on titan Weapon, Streetfighting, Staff and Laser gun?
Wich sets are good for a free player? With not having access to IOs, endurance management must be harder...
What can i expect to have lost now that i'm a free player? IOs, my alpha incarnate slot. anything else?
-Thanks. =) -
Quote:Unless you do one WST per week. Then you'll just never get it.Originally Posted by Turgenev
If you wanna cruise with the WSTs and see it as an opportunity to get a higher opportunity to team for a given TF/SF, and earn shards/merits/recipe drops via the upper echelon of enemies in the game, then it's a win/win. The badge is just cake. You can eat it now, or eat it later. You'll still get it in the end.
Or if someone happen to be playing more then one character. Shocking isn't it that someone wouldn't feel like bringing the same character to the same TF, twice in a week?
Usually, i'd alternate between characters, to do the different TFs i like. So yeah, i might do 3-4 Tfs in a week, but rarely do i repeat one, specialy not on thesame character.

Quote:Yes scrappers can do it. But controllers win in time.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
I don't know what controllers you are talking about, but I know that Bill Z Bubba uses how fast he takes out Pylons solo to test his scrapper. Apparently he has got quite good at it.
Back in 06-07-2010 , "My Illusion/cold/ice dropped the pylon in
155 seconds, or 2 min 35 sec." That was before incarnates.
In 12-21-2010 , "I just ran a time of 3 mins 42secs, which puts me right at 300.17 DPS" was the first scrapper to beat 300.
Today, "Ding! Level up on my Illu/Cold and a new time: 1:50. That's 476 DPS, it seems." -
Quote:The Master of Badges ( 8 badges, 7 more if you count the separate ones in tin mage/apex), RV AV/Heroes (13 badges), The MS raid ( 2, +1 if the bombs in normal missions don't count) the banner event (5)Originally Posted by Lothic
So you just made the counter argument that ultimately there really isn't -that- much of a problem getting the majority of badges at any time you want. If that's the case then your concern about people having trouble finishing badges doesn't seem that pressing.
In the wide range of different kinds of badges available I don't see it as major problem if we get an occasional badge (like this new 50 count TF badge) that's closer to the "might be hard to finish later on" end of the spectrum, especially if we can assume your take on it that there aren't really that many badges like that to worry about to begin with.
He mentionned 36 badges, that's a bunch, and there's still a lot more that fits the bill.
Anyway, the ones who think that 50 is a good number for the Weekly TFs have the right to that opinion, just like the ones who think it's way too much.
