When I started CoH... almost 2 years ago now (wow)... I began with the free trial (which I think was longer than 14 days), I tried WoW as a free trial at the same time. Guess which won out!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

I did an EU trial initially because there were no US trials at the time. I believe it was 14 days but there wasn't a lvl cap or chat restrictions. I made it to my 20s on that account.

Also keep in mind that with the full mask option, you can't remove/cover your human ears, which I just don't get.

[/ QUOTE ]

but you can color them the color of the costume rather than have them skin color.

[ QUOTE ]
Well they CAN also see all your bonuses from sets, too. From that it can be inferred if you've got higher rarity or cooler stuff.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes I've noticed that when looking at other people's info, but I'm using SO's, so no cool shiny bonuses to my build yet

[ QUOTE ]
also had trouble with contacting people, when i chat with someone, it didn't came up in my chat window somehow. anyway, i am gonna use up my trial period and then i make a descision if i gonna keep playing the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Honestly, for me my MM didn't shine til post 20. I didn't hate getting to 20 by any means but whenever I go back to pre-20 either via Malefactor or Ouroboros, I'm gritting my teeth in frustration...

I'm not sure that the trial will change your opinion but its worth a shot. I'm much happier at 42 than pre 20 by far. I can take on and defeat without difficulty much stronger opponents relative to my level than I could pre 20.

[ QUOTE ]
Most likely just looking at your power list. Not saying viewing your slotting is impossible, but pretty sure it would be a hack used and against the EULA

[/ QUOTE ]

Thx, I just was wondering if there was an in-game mechanic for it and there's my answer

[ QUOTE ]
Honestly, so much has changed in 4 years, it'd probably be best to forget most of what you used to know, make a new character, and learn the game all over again from level 1.

[/ QUOTE ]

In addition to this, if you're on triumph @inokis. I'll help you out any way I can.

...Which isn't a bad thing. People keep saying its a good build. However, are they just looking at the powers via info, or are they somehow looking at how I slotted my powers?

I've never found a way to look at anyones power management so I'm just curious.

Slots have diminishing returns after 3, so its rather pointless to go beyond 3.

Having played wow for over 4 years, from 6 months after launch til a month before WOTLK; I can say I wish I had started this game instead of wasting my time in WoW.

You're opinion has officially been negated

[ QUOTE ]
That happens with particular AVs, such as Black Scorpion. I won't spoil too much, but the ole boy can surprise you at the end of the second arc. He owned me like twice in a row on two characters. Then I go for him again and he falls like a sack of taters. The defense rolls and if you are mezzed really factor into these little encounters. Stock up on inspies, if you survive the first five seconds, most likely you will win with your usual tactics.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll keep that in mind. I'm just happy that I've got my first set of Patron Powers unlocked

OTW to see the Arbiter in Nerva as we speak.

[ QUOTE ]
You know what should really happen? The game should drop its subscription down to $10 a month. That way we could all spend $5 a month more on gambling.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or just get a free monthly Jet Pack

[ QUOTE ]
he is the eb that you have to fight at the end of black scorpions first arc that gives you your patron power villian side.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well I don't know what the problem was the first two times I fought him. Maybe he was bugged. This third time I took him out without any real problems. He didn't hit me with ranged nearly as hard and I easily took two hits from his melee and it only brought me down to half hp. He never got any of my bots down below half HP. Twice as easy as the first two fights and I didn't change anything.

Go figure.

did you clear the room first before taking on the doc? and before you took on doc, did you eat some purple insp's? sounds like you need a better course of action then what you have. if need be go get yourself a shivan before you fight him again.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, it was just me, my bots and the [censored] who killed me. My strategy has gotten me through 40 levels so far and This is the first AV besides Nosferatu I've had any problems with. I don't think its so much strategy as it is his pure damage output. I don't typically use inspiration beyond respite and I've never found the need to.

[ QUOTE ]
Skip Purples, then. Head for the Oranges.

Reduce the incoming damage as best you can. =-3

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll see if something along those lines works. I really hate losing to AVs.

[ QUOTE ]
Heh. I know how you feel, there. I generally try to avoid 'farming' for certain temps, but I have no qualms using ones that I already have at the moment. >.>

I still have my first Cryonite on my Bot/Storm, the Spirit Potion, Frenzy Mutagen..

I really should use this stuff more often then I do.

[/ QUOTE ]

I just got Rikti Drone and Rikti Weapons from doing the Ambassador arc. Not sure if those would help. I may try getting a Shivan if a third try doesn't work.

[ QUOTE ]
You could also, depending on level, go hunt temporary powers to help out a bit.

I do believe the Cryonite Armor is flashbackable... I'll dig up a list.

[/ QUOTE ]

I try not to do that, seems like cheating to me. Some AVs seem easier than others depending on the AT. This one seems particularly deadly to my MM

[ QUOTE ]
actually if your in body gaurd mode 2 hits of 400 won't kill you. the damage gets spread out between you and your pets. adn if you eat purp's, he will barely touch you. what you can also do is lv 1-2 more times then before training up to those lv's go back and beat him. that way you wont have to waste the respec you get for getting your patron powers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Trust me, when I took two hits of 400 actual damage back to back, while bodyguarded yes I died I was there I lived it, or died rather. There was no time for an inspiration it was Bash Bash defeated.

Already tried staying at range.. He aoed all my bots dead in one hit and then I toasted from fire damage.

[ QUOTE ]
should have rushed him in body gaurd mode. the damage gets spread out and your survival rate is much higher. also make sure you take a full tray of inspirations, preferabaly purp's and reds and greens. if you did do this then i'm not sure what else you can do but some others might have some good ideas.

[/ QUOTE ]

I only use bodyguard mode, thats how I fight. I only have 715 hitpoints. Two hits of 400 makes me a goner.

[ QUOTE ]
I don't recall ever suffering defeat against him, but I've also never fought him solo with a Mastermind.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hes a nasty [censored].

Its considered as a title, not actually part of the name. It will display above the Character Name according to whether you enable or disable the display of titles.

OH MY GOD is all I can say. Maybe some people out there find him a cake walk but wow.

I attempted to hold his aggro at range ... BOOM! ... Oh yay my bots are gone, at which point his DOT made short work of me thereafter.

I attempted to hold his aggro at melee ... Swipe Bash ... two hits for 400+ damage and I was defeated.

I thought nosferatu was hard but dang at least I was able to defeat him.

Anyone else care to share their humiliating defeat at the hands of this menace?

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not sure what you mean by "dom-like", but I'm going to assume you mean it's like their inherent power Domination and not referencing the power itself when used by a Dominator (Doms have access to Power Boost in a couple sets).

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, Domination is what I'm referring to. It would be cool if Power Boost worked like that.

After the 4th reset she spawned in the area I needed her to be so I was eventually able to complete it. It happened in one of the previous missions in this arc to a mob I was fighting as well.

I'll see if it happens outside of this mission arc as well.

This one in particular as soon as shes done fighting she just sits in midair and starts zigzagging. She won't move, she won't follow. I don't want to hit the complete button because if theres more in this arc that do it then i'll be stuck doing one part every 3 days. I've been playing 3 months and have never seen this happen. I'm hoping its a server glitch that can be remedied.
