  1. IMO there is nothing wrong with the Defiant server at all. As many of you are aware the Plastic Army is all but dead, due to players leaving post-ED. The villainous arm (Plastic Empire) is alive and well, but this has meant me spending a lot of time teaming on CoH with peeps who I had never met before and I have had no problem at all. There is an old saying "A stranger is just a friend who you haven't met yet" and I really believe this is the case, as many of the new friends I have met have joined our TS server and now have become a regular part of our little family.

    I thinks it's time for many players to lighten up and go with the flow, meet new players (both good and bad) and have fun!

    I think that is being overly generous. I can safely say that Photon seekers are, without fear of contradiction, the single most stupid pet in the game. Point Blank FTW or don't bother, and even then it's a lottery as to whether or not they actually attack anything other than a piece of scenery. The amount of times I have fired mine off only to have them float about looking pretty is unreal. Is there any chance that the Devs "look at" the AI? Again, by "look at" I mean improve, not give it a damn good thwack with the 'bat!

    Maybe they didn't see your broadcast?

    Aye, maybe they arrived after you broadcast in the hope they could finally find Sally, saw it and didn't want someone to come along and steal it?

    They knew, and also admitted to Snow on PM that they had the badge. So it begs the question - "Why be such a p***k?"

  5. Resist Physical Damage, Tough Hide and Resist energies are what I've stuck with since i3, and they have served me well.
  6. Try this:

    US Defender Guide

    Many of these have been updated to include the i6 updates.

    BTW I too feel sorry for the SR scrapper.

    What a ****head.

    Real shame that you can't name and shame on these forums.
  8. Me Pls!

    Good to see you back on form kiddo.
  9. Big Grats to one of my best pals in the game on his 50 Ding! After almost a year, complete with the obligatory break from the game, he has finally got his 50. One of the nicest guys in game, he has worked his socks off, got all the debt badges (well he is a blaster, after all!) and finally nailed Marauder with his trademark BOOM!

    Well done mate - now for that warshade you have been hankering for!

    Clicky!
  10. Friday night late would be good for me. Sadly I'm off for the Rugby on the weekend
  11. GRATS! Well Done! Sounds like it was fun!
  12. Happy birthday Snow m8! I hope there is lots of cake for teh Fatman!
  13. Inv/SS, easily. But then I would say that............
  14. Having played a DM/FA Brute to 40, I can safely say that it's a really good combo. As a previous poster mentioned, you get your immobilise prtection from CJ and knockback protection from Acrobatics. You don't need to take Burn at all. I have it on my Brute and I use it when a) the mobs are locked down or b) as an "oh [censored]" power when I need to dispel the mobs and run for the hills!

    Siphon life is a great power IMO as it not only hurts the mobs (and with the fury bar up it can do some serious damage) but it also reduces the mobs acc and heals you. ToF is a no no for a brute as you want the mobs to keep attacking you and keep that fury bar heading north. It cycles quickly as well and with the right slotting it can heal you to the tune of 33%ish of your total hitpoins every 45 seconds or so. Healing Flames is also a must have, slot it 3 heal and 3 recharge reducers and you're on to a winner.

    It is hard going until you get plasma shield, but after that milestone I found the going a lot better. Unfortunatly due to the ammount of toggles you need to run, it is a very end heavy set, so stamina and end recs are also a must IMO, unless you want to take the strategic path and rely on DC and Consume for your end needs.

    Here's a link to a great guide from the US Forums that I found a lot of use as a basis for my build.

    Clicky

    Don't give up on it as you will love it in the late game. Well I do at any rate!
  15. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Say it ain't so! Please?

    U take care pal, all the best with RL, and I hope U come back one day. The Fatman misses u already!

    Historic evidence would seem to indicate that Claws is about to be utterly nerfed.

    Remember when they were 'Looking' at Controllers?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Except we know they're going to be buffed

    ...and I'm not sure how claws could be nerfed anyway

    [/ QUOTE ]

    But all our fun was buffed in i6 as ED allowed us all to have more fun! Right...................
