I think I'm on one of the last fights, but I'm so out of practice... I really liked Poison Ivy in the game, but I didn't care much for the boss fight... Actually, I don't think I've cared much for any of the boss fights in the game, and I don't play many games like this, so I don't know how they rate with other games' boss fights. Very stoked for the sequel.

But I have no idea how to get into the building (it's the one with the sniper on it).

Wonder how long before there are pics of those costume sets/emotes/etc.
Also, that video is shamefully funny. -

And now I am even more curious.
That was helpful, thanks!
I am now in the Intensive Treatment section. My new favorite thing to do is stand completely still and just counter when one of the crazies runs at me. It's a funny animation where they leap at you, you throw them to the ground then you punch them in the face and knock them out. -
I was late to the party too
Got it for christmas, I think I'm pretty much at the final fight, and I'm running around gathering all the hidden secrets I can... haven't done much in the way of challenges yet though. I like it a lot, it's fun, the voice acting, dialogue, scripting, pacing, etc, all great. I'm excited for the sequel already, Bats has such an awesome set of villains, can't wait to see what is coming.

Surprised no ones said it, but Mental Manipulation blasters can actually be very sturdy, especially on ITFs with lotsa mobs for Drain Psyche.

Quote:Sounds like CoH tooOriginally Posted by Tangler
You do realise you're describing CoV here?
I think CO is an extreme of this, or was when I was beta'ing it. Made worse by the fact that at the time, you could solo 5 person "Tough" missions as well (I dunno about after the infamous launch day nerf though).Quote:Originally Posted by Gorgar
I'm in the opposite camp from the original poster. I've played a couple of games where everyone can fight (AoC, CoV), and overall I find it dull. Too much self-sufficiency takes the fun out of teaming for me. CoV in particular often feels like a group of people soloing together.
I make a differentiation between "Tank" and "Tanker". "Tanker" is an AT, "Tank" is a role. Many ATs can tank. Trollers, defenders, scrappers, Brutes, MMs, khelds, VEATs sometimes, corrs, doms can often take the place of a tank. Heck, I often end up tanking on my blaster, though that is very mob specific. I've even seen stalkers tank quite a bit, and I don't even CoV much anymore. Nothing makes me cringe more than hearing people "need" a Tanker, or "need" a "healer" because they do /not/ at all, and would very often be served better by a competent player playing just about /anything/.Quote:Originally Posted by Cloud_Surge
I have 2 defender that break that "healer" mold.
My Storm/Elec def can out tank most tanks thru chaos and debuffs. It work well to. So far I've tanked most AVs, often pissing off real tanks because I do a better job than some. Doesnt mean I'm a real tank, but for about 95% of the game I can.
My Arch/TA def is just an offensive beast. I can do about blaster lvl damage on every group. It really breaks mold for defender because you can solo well with it, and team very well.
The fact is I didnt go seeking for these builds to play like that. IMO these were designed like that to break that thought that support is healorz and can't do anything else. This is one of the reasons I've stuck with this game for 5 1/2 years now. I can't wait to see what on the horizon.
I don't think Tankers are better at it for most things. LR in the STF maybe. Though I do prefer an Illusion tank... Oops. I would say the reverse is true, to say nothing can tank as well as a tanker is a very ignorant thing to say. My TA/A and dark/dark defenders tank the ITF extremely well, though the dark/dark is a bit slow. I prefer both to tank it over my Inv/SS and my now deleted Ice/Fire tanks. Even my scrappers tank just as well, and move the team along faster and smoother. My Shield scrapper not only tanks just as well, but often steals aggro from "tank" Tankers, /and/ Grant Cover protects others close by. Some excessive insp use and I've even soloed Rom. Why bother with a Tanker tank then? None of this is to say Tankers are bad, or useless in anyway, as my next toon I intend to make is I think going to be an Elec/SS tank... just need a toon name...Quote:Originally Posted by Vitality
I'm guessing you have very little experience with good Tanks.
To say your Storm/Elec can out Tank MOST Tanks is a very ignorant and conceited thing to say...and I as a Tank take offense to that.
Sure...go ahead and say you can "Tank" when needed but do not outright state that you are better than most Tanks at doing what Tanks are made to do. -
And I just got home....

(/Fire lacks hold and immobilize protection, outside of Burn)
I think I've settled on a DM/FA, and an Elec/SS, I just lack names for both and costumes for 1... and I need to wait for some 50s to finish selling off their stuff so I can kick them off to other servers to free up some space. -

Quote:Hehe, and yet I still don't have one.... Prolly one of the things that I'll roll when I ship a couple toons off server, and I'll take the elec in tank, elec/ss form. Dinking around with multiple builds for each... I haven't thought a toon out this much before even making one in a long time...Originally Posted by Bobitron
I haven't had experience with /Elec at all, but I'm sure loving my new DM/FA brute. The combination is fantastic, and I'm glad you spoke up in favor of it when I mentioned it a few weeks ago.

JU is, in theory, a more family oriented version of JFA2010.

I'm known as a bit of a scrapper nut, but I've been off for a while playing crazy, weird things like "Blasters" and "Controllers" and *whispers* even "Defenders". I have a fire armor scrapper, an elec armor brute (not really played it since the Energize change though), and several DM scrappers.
The DM/FA combo is something I've been thinking about for a while, 2 self heals, 2 damage buffs, damage aura, 2 AoE -end/+end powers. It just sounds like fun. I was talking about this to someone, and they said "Well, why not a DM/Elec then?" And that's something that hadn't really occurred to me... it has a lot of the same credentials, damage aura, 2 heals, 2 +end AoEs, and it has +rech, and pseudo KB prot included. Visually, I think elec looks better than FA as well.
Now, I've got all sorts of scrappers, all very survivable, some great farmers, some great at ST, done the RWZ challenge on at least 3, soloed some pylons, AVs, etc. I'm not terribly concerned with said new toon being a total badass, though I will devote a lot of thought later on to tweaking a min-max build for it (and might kick myself if I discover then that there was something about the other I would have liked more). Since I doubt it'll exceed my other scrappers at any specific thing, I was thinking I'd focus on just /fun/, an "all around" good scrapper, but I can't help myself from thinking things through before rolling one. Any synergies between the two sets I may have missed? Any experience with either set? Comments on what would be more fun? I'm not really looking for builds, as much as a discussion how they play similarly/differently, and so on. -
Quote:No. It's a subjective decision of the players.Originally Posted by Twilight_Snow
The question is not that much about whether purples and rares should be expensive or not, but how expensive they should be. 100 mil, 1 bil or 2 bil? There is no right answer on this issue. It's a subjective decision of the dev.
/agreed.Quote:Originally Posted by Twilight_Snow
In fact, this discussion never ends no matter what the price is. Let's say if the drop rates are higher such that EnD_Reitanna feels that it's ok, there will be other people come up and say that they don't play as much as EnD_Reitanna, and the the drop rates should be further raised. Maybe till we get to the point that everyone can fully purple out, then people will start to complain that the game is too easy and nothing for them to do.
I don't think the Mender Silos TF gives a badge...Quote:Originally Posted by Catwhoorg
I do apologize Mac. I just got a MSTF badge instead. (Typing between missions).
I didn't realise I NEEDED a purpled and PVP IOed character to do so...
That's cause you've been stealing from my endgame. Likewise, I rolled a blaster the day i16 came out, did a mix of missions and TFs to 50, spent 2+ billion during DXP weekend (roughly 400-500m was just from that character leveling 1-50, fairly average earns I think for a 1-50), mostly with DXP inflated buy it NOW! prices, had almost no inf left on it, and when I stole all that toons money for another toon about a week or two ago, I took nearly 1.5 billion. All from TFs/missions. No farming, no PVP IOs, I don't even think I got a purple drop. And I didn't even play that character all the time...Quote:Originally Posted by UberGuy
What?Last month, I started playing a L50 character again I hadn't touched in a while. He's a BS/Inv scrapper - hardly a massive farming character, right? He had 400M inf from where I last played him a fair bit around I9-I10. He now has 1.65B inf.
So please, tone down the hyperbole.
Assuming the 3 mill inf earned is correct for "a TF", you've neglected common recipe drops, commonly another million, rare salvage, heck, even uncommon or common salvage sometimes, can easily add in 1-4 more million currently, set recipe drops, 100k-20million, and you never include the possibility for a purple drop, or the easy money from the recipes the TF gave you. So... pretty much all rewards except for the smallest bracket of your earnings, the straight up inf drops. -
Grats to the winners, thanks to Pum, and Hell Toupe is just amazing.
