Just to append this, I was just trying to make an alt and the Fiery Melee appealed to me. Sadly I don't want a character who uses a Fire Sword, so I'm out of luck. Surely Fire Sword should be either it's own set or a version of the regular broadsword where the player chooses a fiery gfx weapon?

[/ QUOTE ]

Then don't pick FSC or GFS - plenty of other powers to choose from between your primary, secondary, 4 ancil and epic/patron pools. Quite simple really.

The fiery swords aren't physical swords - they are manifestations of elemental fire which are seen as taking the general form of a sword.

Illusionist badge isn't that hard to get blueside - you just need to make sure you don't kill the MI and they spawn in PI so no need to hunt them in a mish if you don't want. Remember you only need 1 point of damage on the spawned pets for them to count and she will repeatedly span them. - not particularly fast and definitely boring but it doesn't take 3 years either.

what is an easy way to get these besides farming?


[/ QUOTE ]

Play lots.



[/ QUOTE ]

By far the best way and its actually fun unlike farming

[ QUOTE ]
To avoid the abuse, perhaps flag characters per account so that a fifty from one moving to another won't unlock Epic AT's, but a character created on the account could. Lots of coding I guess, but it'd stop people selling their chars for the unlock.



[/ QUOTE ]

Easier just to limit it to transferring between different game accounts on the same master account.

If there were khelds in zones i wuld go skulking around with my void hunter rifle

[/ QUOTE ]

Try the high level Mayhems PPD will provide you with targets for it.

Basically you aren't mezzed when you change to human and the queued power activates. Possibly it should check the mez mag affecting you as soon as you change forms. Probably better if changing forms was to cancel all queued powers which aren't available in the new form.

next up, Gaias Minions...

Gaias Minions, Happy Christmas!



[/ QUOTE ]

Yay,

Very nice Doc

[ QUOTE ]

You can't use Hasten when mezzed by design.


[/ QUOTE ]

Its never really worked that way. If you are mezzed or even defeated non interuptible powers that have started their activation will still fire as most characters wilth heals will have already found out. The number of times I've been defeated and then have my heal fire is ridiculous.

Actually, that's New York - but I'm sure London's a nice little place

Just where both of them belong. - Down a nice deep hole.

I'm sure we'll continue to prompt you PD

OK have just checked the US forums on this and I'll concede you are right on these except for PVP where players still have a base to hit of 75% - assuming that didn't change along with just about everything else for PVP. For those wanting a fuller description of the mechanics try Arcanavilles guide here. It dates from I9 but I cant recall seeing anything more recent.

and that factor of 2 goes out the window when fighting foes with greater (or less ftm) accuracy - i.e. things like AVs, Players in PvP, Overseers, Behemoth Overlords or indeed anything except even level mobs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, it doesn't. It used to, about 6 issues ago, but now it is a factor of 2 whatever the accuracy of the mob attacking you is.

The math (simplified, not showing caps and stuff):

Old system, that you are thinking of: %hitprob = %mobacc - %def

System the game actually uses: %hitprob = mobAccModifier*(50% - %def).

Where the accuracy modifier is 1.0 for an even con mob, up to 1.25 for an AV.

This means that an AV is 25% more likely to hit than a minion, regardless of how much defense you have. therefore 1% def will reduce incoming damage by an avarage of 2% regardless of the accuracy of the mob.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes but the caps and stuff are important when you are running close to them as most defense based characters will be. Level scaling still affects that base hit % which is only 50% for even level mobs - if your fighting +3s its a long way out at +5s its nonsense.

Have you installed CoH in the defailt location - The updater sometimes seems to change this under Vista

Try checking Local Disk (C --> Program Files --> City of Heroes --> Screenshots

Thats where mine go even though the game is installed on a different drive. Also the default key is Print Screen not Del

This hole?

Don't see a problem there - Its not as if its a surprise that searching for Google on their own site returns their products first.

I got to about 25 with a Pistols only MM, that was hilarious

[/ QUOTE ]

My Pistol/Traps is about the same as well - EBs can be a real pain to solo but still possible just as long as they aren't Ballistas - their KB kills. At least the lack of end isn't so bad now. I'm also now clearing more mishes without dieing than not. Before lvl 20 debt was to be expected.

Actually does anyone do this other than Pistol/*

Heeh i was a little drunk last night after i got home. I was following some hero called Bolovan i think i annoyed him a bit. So sorry

[/ QUOTE ]

I've had someone do that with one of my corrupters before - I entered Pocket D - he followed only I somehow entered on the hero side - must have really confused him how I gave him the slip.

[ QUOTE ]

As I'm sure that's it not that hard to make t possible to have every toon in every MMO have animated hair but Im also sure that it would cause extra stress on the players system and that of the servers as well. So why not just not have animated hair as it would be easier.


[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldn't expect it to have any effect on the servers just the clients - as its purely cosmetic I'd expect it would be implemented client side as with the rag doll animations.

and that factor of 2 goes out the window when fighting foes with greater (or less ftm) accuracy - i.e. things like AVs, Players in PvP, Overseers, Behemoth Overlords or indeed anything except even level mobs.

Like those flipping Rikti EBs in Invasions! -rage- They NEVER spawn! We had about four teams, killing SO many Rikti, and NO EBs spawned! And this happnes every time. This is redside, but still! Why do villain badges seem so horribly horribly hard? The troll one? Near impossible. The Crey Infiltrator one? REALLY hard (for an MM, which is the only one that unlocks anything). The Family one? Nuff said...
As bad as hunt missions, only not droppable

[/ QUOTE ]

Well we had about 6 of the suits spawn on the raid in Cap last night so I can assure you they do spawn - you just need enough about to keep the players threat high enough.
Three characters is theoretically possible but I can't see you getting the dps on that few - about 12 or so and they should appear.

[ QUOTE ]

Now for the challenging part. NO IO's allowed,

[/ QUOTE ]

If you're serious about this forget half measures - no enhancements of any sort.

Also bear in mind that the amount of damage you do to the mobs affects the xp award of they are damaged by multiple players.

The easiest way to hunt carnies is to keep clearing the two ships (including non-carnies). Every time a spawn is completly cleared it is quickly replaced.

[/ QUOTE ]

I guess 'quickly' is a relative term. It wasn't quick enough for me

[/ QUOTE ]

Leave the area and return - normally there will be fresh spawns. If you are still in the immediate area - that does include the other ship - they won't respawn.

To say nothing of congratulating someone for hitting level 45 being turned into something that looks as if you may be swearing at them

And after that people still allow Posi into built up areas.

That was obviously the problem. You weren't playing your regen
