Hello People

Im looking for a little help please, I am looking to do a new Brute. I only want this for PvE as i am on Defiant and PvP has as much life as a graveyard so this char is purley PvE.

I wish to be able to do a good mixture ie: Herd, take & Keep the aggro without having to heal every 10 seconds and when i need to damage deal my end doesnt run out in 30 seconds flat.

I have decided to go with stone Melee and now wish for a good secondry you're thoughts and comments are appreciated........ Thank you for taking the time also to do this i do appreciate it

Perhaps you'd require some sports support clothing then, especially if your character is a large breast...

And builds are good for changing between PvE abilities and PvP abilities or if a certain zone is easier to navigate by flight rather than your preferred travel power etc.

1: Would'nt let me put the short version of breast was just an expression.

2: How stupid of me not to realise build one and two can be used for PvE and PvP..... OH i just realised i'm on Defiant and PvP has as much life as a Graveyard !!!!

Thanks for you're wise words of wisdom

Well thats just great; So i have to do another 50 as a Spider or run round like a breast GREAT just GREAT !!!!

No point in Builds 1 & 2 if u ask me !

Thanks for the reply i appreciate it.

Hello People

I have changed builds on me Spider to me Bane, however the crab pack is still on my back. So i went to the Tailor to remove it but found i cant. So i switch it to Bane outfit and again cannot remove the Crab back pack. So i went and got myself a 2nd outfit slot, but even when i do a complete new outfit i cannot remove the Crab back pack.

So if i do the Cyborg or Valkyrie custom outfit GUESS what i cant get rid of the Crab back pack.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated please.

I get concerned because the more farming goes on the less teams there are for "ordinary players" and a vicious circle will form (maybe has formed) that would be very hard to break.

Well said. This is exactly the problem that the game faces.

Farming has always been around, and even if MA was completely removed from the game, farming would still continue as it used to.

As I've said before, apart from getting blind invites to PI farm teams in the past, I had no real issue with farmers. If they want to farm then let them get on with it.

The problem isn't the farming aspect. It's the hyper levelling and specifically the ease that it can be done with MA now.

When that becomes the normal thing to do, this is where the longevity of the game starts to get into real trouble.

I have now been playing this game for 51months and farming has been going on as far back as i can remember. One of the first chars to be nerfed to hell the old Fire / Fire Tanker; which now is as end heavy as a sledge hammer and as strong as a glass slipper. Youre saying people will find it hard to find teams due to all the farming going on, Well i dont know about Union as i dont go on there but on Defiant its dead and has been for a long time. PvP on Defiant dead, now like a ghost town, and the amount of people i see screaming for farm teams on there is unreal.

The vicious circle you face is if you stop farming as you have all tried to do for years and eventualy succeed; then get ready for even more people to leave this game. As from the majority i see on the server farming is what makes them happy and makes them pay their subscription each month. Take their fun away from them and you loose their custom and you loose an even bigger chance of finding a team as there is no bugger left on the servers.

What i suggest is you get new contacts to do new story arcs to do and some new powersets in the game. Make the game more enjoyable as for me after 51months i cant face Frostfire or any of the others im sick to the back teeth of them. Get the Devs to get PvP back into action sort out the Market and the prices of IO sets. For a normal person who plays the game say 2hours a night for him to save up 300Million for 1 of the new PvP IOs would probably take him 2 months; to buy the whole set would take him 6 month thats a real insentive for a new player to game not to farm. How else are they supposed to get that sort of money to buy their IOs playing the normal Arcs. Salvage 1 fortune (white) going for 300k lmao, you cant just say no more farming without sorting out the other aspects of the game that are just so stupid.

Sort all the basics out first and farming will take care of itself in dying out as there would be no need for it and wouldnt be a temptation for new players if there is a real chance of them getting to 50 and IO setting out there chars that wont cost them 2Billion +.

You should'nt be moaning at the farmers, their doing what they love to make the game fun for themselves. NOT everyone loves doing the same old story arc's. You should divert youre chritism at the Dev's and make them get some fresh blood in the story lines and get PvP back they are their to give the game a breath of life so all new players are not tempted to farm.

OR you can just ban farming and watch people leave in droves again and then try and find a team thats the vicious circle you face nothing more.

THE COURT REST's

My appolagies thank you for correcting me; DEFIANT if not Defiant and it ends up being on Union im not that much fussed i will go with the flow and the Majority.

Hi again all

Well thanks for the reply's back at least there is still some interest in PvP around . As much as I would love to head this attempt to get PvP back; I dont think im the man for the job. How ever I would be willing to help someone out that wishes to volenteer in heading this venture.

But I just feel that we shoud at least try and get PvP going again whether its Siren's, WB or RV im easy on that side of it. But I think this will take the joint effort of 2 people that are well known on both side's of the water. That way we get CoH & CoV players in PvP even if its just for an hour one night per week.

Surely more people reading this if you think back you must miss all the slanging matches in PvP its great fun the battle of chars & the Battle of words what more can you ask for. Not that i condone the slanging matches but i must admit it is funny to read when people get hot under the collar .

So all i am asking is for is 1 hour per week CoH V CoV in any PvP area that the majority wish to go with. Come on peole what we got to loose and lets put all them expensive overpriced IO sets against those of us that just have SO's so we can rub it in that little bit more when youre char falls to the floor in a big slump

Greenflash Slaps glove in all Villians faces

Hope this gets off the ground BB for now People.......

Hello people

I was wondering if the forum community would be able to start up and help out in getting a regular PvP slot during the week set up?

I mean we have the set days for the Hammi Raid and the Spaceship Raid; so as PvP is like a Ghost Town in Sirens and WB I was wondering if somebody would take the lead in trying to set this up please. Even maybe create a chat channel for PvP so we all get notified to get are Elite chars in the correct zone ready for Battle.

I know you still get the odd few in RV but 8/10 they are there farming for the xp. I just thought this would be good for us all in the game if we could get a regular slot in Sirens and making PvP an interest in the game again; especialy with the new IOS sets for it. Despite the price of them going through the roof as usual.

Anyway i just thought i would suggest it, i am sure you will all let me know what you think of it anyway.

All the best...............

Hello All

I was wondering if anybody knew of any Arc contacts i can do besides the TF contacts to unlock new swords and shields please.

I know certain TFs like Ourboros give you them, Im just after normal arc contacts and missions if anybody knows of any i might be able to do please.

Thanks people all the best...............

Well ive had 65 hits and no replys as yet.....

This is the build i am looking to do, all comments welcome please.

Hello All

I am presently in the middle of doing a Fire / WP Brute at present. I have already completed a SS / WP Brute to 50.

But now im stuck which char to purple IO and Regen to the hilt as this is going to cost me a billion + no doubt to do. I dont mind which realy to be honest as i love both chars so much. But i want the chars for PvE and 1 V 1 arena battles and im stuck on which would be the best all rounder to do. Im tending to lean towards the Fire as this has the added DoT damage but love the pure smashing damage on SS. So was wondering for some advice on the safe bet all rounder realy.

Also being realy cheeky does anyone have a build i can use for maxed out Regen on a WP Brute please. Cost doesnt bother me i will grind my backside off till its done .

Happy New Year all

I agre with hammerfall &amp; Masta X. what gets me you can purple IO your char out and IO set it out to the max once you have done nothing but grind &amp; grind to get the money together to do it. For example the apocalypse set is going to cost you alone 300mill+ just to IO out 1 pwr.

But what makes me laugh you can spend a billion on youre char and going in RV or Sirens and get wiped out by another person that hasnt spent a penny on there char and just has normal SO's as easy as eating cake. That is a real downside to this game.

I wish to take the time to say also that i got flamed earlier for saying Claws was bad damage for PvP. So i done a claws / Invun to lvl 50 and guess what after spending god know how many millions AGAIN trying to improve my defence and damage i got wiped out by a WP / fire Brute with WHITE SO's without him breaking a sweat. I hardley scratched him. I should of ignored all the flame's i got of this forum and stuck with what i knew was right in my heart of hearts.

The Game is letting me down more and more as each day passes and im running out of excuses to stay after 45months of playing.

CAPP THE MARKET or make it that if you dont spend the money like we do a normal char with SO's or normal IO's hasnt a hope in hell of beating someone that has took the time to grind and grind at the game purple IO'g and IO setting their char out.

Or the Devs may as well start designing a new game before we have all gone and kiss their monthly subscription goodbye.

Shockwave" its a total waste

I am not!! i take offence to this sir i demand my revenge on the field of battle

[/ QUOTE ]

LoL Shockwave I will look you up next time im in RV....

Youre all avoiding the main question, If Claws is so good as most of you are saying then how come we never see them in PvP or Arena battles ?

Come on hit me with it convince me

[/ QUOTE ]

Just because Claws isn't so good for PvP in i13, doesn't mean it's CHANGED. As has clearly been shown, it's actually received an overall BUFF, even if it is a small one. Therefore, the reason you don't see many Claws scrappers in PvP now is because they sucked BEFORE i13, not after.

Therefore, your entire argument is null and void.

Now, if you want to argue about Claws being rubbish OVERALL, that's a different matter and nothing to do with i13.

[/ QUOTE ]

I dont wish to argue about anything, however i would like to discuss why Claws are so weak for PvP and Dueling. As someone previoulsy stated "As a PvP char your off to a big disadvantage as its lethal damge". Well BS and Katana are lethal damage but they do well in dueling and PvP, But claws has no chance.

And im not saying its claws being rubbish just since I13, they have always been weak, hence i cant believe they suffer another blow. To say its a reduction in damage but an increase in the attack so same damage is pants. In my view Claws needs its damage increased overall to make it more competive in PvP and Dueling. I feel its a great shame being they are fun character to play but let down badley by its damage potential.

the power "Shockwave" its a total waste

[/ QUOTE ]

That, Sir, disqualifies you as a proper Scrapper and you'll soon receive an admonitory letter from the Scrapper Guild

[ QUOTE ]
Do you honestly call 0.01 an INCREASE in damage lol


[/ QUOTE ]

Well, it's not a reduction either.



Claws is probably best DPS scrapper set in game, it doesn't have a huge damage spike, but the DPS is unmatched. The nerf to Focus was more harming because it changed totally the lvling of a claws scrapper until lvl 26 at least slowing it significantly, but reducing Slash damage accordingly to a faster recharge is not reducing the set damage at all.

[/ QUOTE ]

So youre telling me Shockwave for a scrapper is a good power, How? All shock wave basicaly is a KB power knocks em 6 miles down the road yeah fantastic power.

Youre all avoiding the main question, If Claws is so good as most of you are saying then how come we never see them in PvP or Arena battles ?

Come on hit me with it convince me

Have you ever had a Claws Scrapper and picked the power "Shockwave" its a total waste, "Spin" much better for what its worth.

Do you honestly call 0.01 an INCREASE in damage lol

Im still not convinced by any means, I still say the damage is poor yet they keep decreasing it even further. The character itself is a great fun character to play. But is seriously let down by damage dealing, hence as i said earlier it would be easier to find the invisible man in PvP than it would a claws Scrapper.

Or perhaps its just me that i never see them amongst all the Fire / Spines / MA &amp; BS scrappers in PvP.

Im just down at the moment i love claws and just wished it could be looked at to make it a more formidable character to be played in PvP...............

Yes I have..........By all means some one please convince me im wrong about this and trust me I will be happy man.

I want someone to proove me wrong and say Claws is a great competative char for PvP and dueling in the Arena. But Claws in PvP is like looking for the invisible man.

All the best I await the comments back

Have the Devs gone stark raving mad? another damage reduction to claws. Now i know it is meant to have an increased attack rate, however this doesnt make up for how bad the lack of damage is on claws.

There is no way on this earth that claws will ever be a competative char to play in PvP as a scrapper the damage is pants.He would be there 6 yrs trying to kill an invun / wp or Fire shields as the damage is so weak and now the poor set gets another reduction in DAMAGE ?

Or is this set there just to create as a fun character to play?

I just feel that this char needs to be looked at again and given an overhaul and NOT on the REDUCTION DAMAGE side. This set should be given a damage INCREASE, you never see a claws scrapper in RV or maybe once in 6 blue moons.You see loads of Fire/ MA / BS &amp; even Katana BUT NOT CLAWS; and why because we all know deep down the damage is pants. Also to fight a purple EB the poor scrapper would be there till next Christmas not alone this one.

Or am i just going mad and getting it all wrong about Claws ? Does it have hidden talents i havent spotted yet ?

Thanks Peeps

Hello People.

I already have a Kat / Dark, SR / Spines, Dark / Regen, MA / WP Scrapper's all lvl 50. I am now looking for a good 2ndry to go with Invunrabilty shields please.

I will be using it for PvE and Dueling only NOT PvP. Once 50 i will be IO setting it to the Max so any ideas or suggestions would be cool.

I was looking at Claws but very worried about claws damage potential TBH. Claws has never realy impressed me and think I would have no chance dueling a Regen or WP Brute or Scrapper with Claws due to its lack of damage.

Any ideas or builds would be appreciated thanks.

Thanks alot people.

Full Screen, or trying too :P

Hi Guys

I have today received my new pc, However the game wont except my screen resolution of 1440 x 900. I can get on the game in 800x600 but the graphics are awfull. Also my mouse is not in sync with the menu button or powers lol. I have downloaded the latest Nvid drivers and im using Vista 64bit with a 9800GT card. Oh and its a 19" widescreen monitor if that makes a difference

All suggestions wellcome, Ive also tried to do it in Regedit and that wont work either please help.

Hello People

Could someone please explain " Alpha Strikes " to me. Do all attack sets use Alpha Strikes ? or is there a set that use more of them than others?

The only reason im asking is because i have created a WP/SS Brute and i want to understand the Alpha Strike better as it says on the Willpower description that is my main weakness. So i would like to try and get as much increase to defence for it as i can.

Thanks all

So what everyone is saying in a nutshell is that no matter what build i do if they have pera Dom im dead unless i eat Break Free's like sweets.

What about an SR Scrapper wont Practice Brawler stop me from being held ?

Thanks guys this make interesting reading

I was thinking more on the line of a Hero being im going to be in RV with it. Thanks for responding though
