    You can click on this link above:

    Click this DataLink to open the build!

    It'll open the file in mids, or you can save it. So that or the data chunk works.
  2. I've had a thugs/psn for a while and I've finally decided to finish him off. I took a look at some of the builds out there but I think what might work best for me is a ranged defense build for the MM.

    Is it worth it, or should I go for +HP?

    This would be for PVE only for the time being.

    Thanks,
    Fitz

    Hamidon Raids

    C'mon Hazy, lets go!

    Lets setup some time(s) to go hunt in Monster Island over the next week so we can fill up on EOEs.

    I've never done a Hami Raid but I can't imagine it's that difficult.

    I think the challenge here is getting 50 people together. I don't think there are even 50 people left on Liberty.
  4. What's the goal? I suggest one to 2 focus areas.

    Such as:

    +HP and +Recharge

    or

    Ranged Defense for the MM

    So on and so forth.

    I don't see any particular focus with this build.

    The one thing that REALLY stands out is that you didn't yake Howling Twighlight. You NEED this power. It is one of the best debuffs and an autohit stun and has a nice little side effect of rezzing multiple teammates if needed.

    I use this extremely offensively solo and on teams (hint: you don't need teammates down in order to use it). I don't think I can express here how GOOD Howling Twighlight is. I'd sell my mother for it. Heck, I'd sell your mother for it.

    Good luck.

    Regards,
    Fitz

    Softcapped Pets?

    Because the protbots have 'em and that's good enough. I could skip detonator but I get some sick pleasure out of turning a bot or two into scrap metal.

    I did spend some time thinking about it though.

    Softcapped Pets?

    I just wanted to pop in here and say thanks. I made some adjustments to the build you provided and had a lot of fun playing him today. It's neat to have the mastermind and all pets (except the protbots) softcapped as long as you keep 'em in the FFG pocket.

    Bots are typically ranged so I had next to 0 issues fighting council and cot at +2x4. I would maybe lose 2 bots max when more than 1 group was aggrod in normally overwhelming situations. It was pretty slick.

    Here's the slightly modified build which softcaps to AOE now (before it fell just a percent or 2 short):

    Again, thanks.
  7. QR,

    Errrrrm, why not have an OPTION in the OPTIONS menu to turn on or off the prompt.

    Oi vey this isn't difficult and something they should've thought of to add.
  8. You know I had thought about this before but never posted it. I want a bind that will target a certain rank.

    We have /targetcustomnext name

    So /targetcustomnext fake will target Fake Nemesi (I think that's plural for nemesis). /targetcustomnext archon wll target Council bosses, so on and so forth.

    How cool would it be to have /targetcustomnext boss

    I think it'd be useful for x8 teams.

    Thanks and regards,
    Fitz
  9. On the PC you can try running ipconfig /flushdns at a command prompt and trying the updater again.

    You can try this multiple times.

    Another thing you can do is create an additional shortcut and bypass the updater.

    If you need to run the updater to apply a patch you can use the original shortcut.

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\City of Heroes\CityOfHeroes.exe" -project coh

    Change the path as required for your setup. Also note it's CityOfHeroes.exe and not CohUpdater.exe.
  10. You can checkout support.cityofheroes.com. There used to be a network tool which would ping the updaters but I wasn't able to find it.

    If he wasn't able to previously connect it could be a firewall or a port issue if he's on a campus or something.

    Again, plenty of information on this at http://support.cityofheroes.com

    Good luck.

  12. Desum is Jom!?!?!? Oh my goodness!
  13. Odd that the resolution changes even when you launch the updater. It could be a 3rd party program I guess. Can you post a CohHelper and HijackThis?

    If you're familar with the registry you can try deleting the CityofHeroes key (I don't remember the exact name or location).
  14. What the **** kind of name is Skippy_Sidekick? What's next? Marvelous_Malefactor?

    I suggest you trip BABs and steal his name and avatar.

    Skippy Sidekick? Really???

  16. Log a bug for it. I'll confirm this after work today. And go you being able to afford a PVP IO! Can I have your hand-me-downs?
  17. Just a guess here but are you running a mission at a lower level than the proc's level? Try running a level 50 AE arc and see if it procs.

    It might help in narrowing down the problem.

    Just wondering

    I'm still here and I'm the best player ever. Ever ever. Like ever.
  19. Oh it's all good TJ, appreciate the response though. I knew this guy had his guard up from the word go -- it was pretty obvious.

If I am a winner, I permit NC Interactive, Inc. and NCsoft Europe Limited to use my name, likeness, photograph, hometown, and any comments that I may make about myself or this contest that I provide for advertising and promotional activities. I also certify that I am at least 13 years of age and am eligible to participate in this contest.

    Icon's closed! The King is getting a makeover!
  21. Virtue has issues and they've acknowledged those. I'm not sure about Freedom. That aside make sure you have updated video drivers.

    Since there's no COHHelper and HijackThis, it's all a bit of rampant speculation.

    2mb of RAM is a bit low. You should have at least 2gb.

    On Liberty things have been fantastic since the latest patch. The only rubberbanding and power delays are in the ITF but that has always been plagued.

    Yes it could be server specific issues like the problems on Virtue but I think if it were an issue on Freedom more people would pipe up.

    Animation issues on staves and Cim door bugged? Minor. I think the last patch was a big step in the right direction.

    Hopefully things get better for you.
  22. I won't join the channel but I'll help with MO runs. I suggest putting off the Master of LG until the hold protection fix hits live.
  23. Thanks for updating the patchnotes Avatea. The input lag fix (lowering the priority and whatever else they did) is absolutely fantastic. I've been able to dual box, stream music, do everything I was able to do before with UM settings bumped up.

    Great find and great fix.

    Thanks
  24. So far so good! The game is running at Normal priority now and I can stream music like I used to do without any sound stuttering or lockups.

    Needs more playtesting but this is first impression.
