Do not worry everyone.

Little birdie says big Executives have been expressed to and yes even they having humanity. You can saying it may of taken little persuasion to hear out coming proposal but ears and eyes are open. There are many inside sources looking over threads, I promise this.

Just put faith on Tony and his peoples, even Golden Girl helping.

Please keep us posted. I would like to invest.

Thank you!

Melissa,
I never knew you personally but, I have been a fan of you and the rest of the brilliant developers, who created such a great game. This saddens me on two levels.
1. I compare this dissolution to the break-up of the Beatles. You never really knew them, but you were always left us with an emotional and communal satisfaction.
2. In 2009, I was a successful manager, for a well regarded company, which I worked for nearly 8 years, and I was laid off with many of my other colleagues. I understand from a human stand point, how difficult at time it can be.
I finally, did find a new position after 10 months of searching. During that time, I played COH often, partially to get over some of the depression you feel when your just not landing the jobs you are applying for. I want to thank you and your team for helping me personally get over a tough time.
If there is anything I can do to help you all, I would do so.
Thanks,
@IORNCLAD

Although I loved this game, I do understand making tough decisions for the sake of profitability. The platform they have, even with free2play, is not sustainable, developers and servers cost money.
A great solution is to create a CoH game that is stand alone and can be played on line, much like GW and GW2. If they are willing to sell the rights, this is how I would resurrect the franchise.

To answer the question regarding great archtype mob busters:

1. Tanks are the best - the right tank can agro an entire room and live to talk about it
2. Well built Controllers are great mob busters but need some help from their pets
3. Although it pains me to say it, Scrapers are good with some agro control and beefed up IO defense sets (I'm just not a scraper fan)
4. Avoid Defenders and Blasters at all cost

Everything except Malta sappers, radiation baddies like Nueron's baddies.

Have fun

Stone is great as long as you like your nickname to be "Captain Slow"

Invul is a great set as long as you get tough and weave. It's simple and powerful at high ends.

Will Power is also a good, but a bit tricky, as you are now balancing regen and defense. But you get that Psi defense many tank builders are looking for.

Shield is good as an offensive consideration, some good team defense for your efforts, but I personally think it's overrated

The other power sets can be good, but are very complex to get right. I see them more of a fun alternative than a true defensive tanker build.

A couple of things I see:

1. your Health and Stamina have 3+ slots. You really shouldn't have more than 3 in each and you can use those slots in defensive powers. This will be a mute point with issue 19.

2. if your just going to P V E, Hassen isn't a necessity. You may consider a few IO sets that increase recharge. Again something that you might keep once inherent fitness exist.

3. Need more slots in Tough, at least 3

4. stay with 4 malee powers and focus the rest of your powers on defense

5. I may have missed one but I did not see all the WP powers. Pools are good but Primary defense powers should always take presidence.

I hope that helps.

You may want to wait til inherient fitness comes out. You will have 3 more powers to pick and will make a difference in balancing the build. I will say this, having the right IO sets will make a world of difference in giving you the right amount of regen and defense.

Personally, I have never had the desire to make an Ice Tank, although with fire, it looked like a fun power set to play.
I know a lot of people will question me on this, but I say, why shields?
I have yet to find shields to be a great solo defense set and it's way too toggle heavy. The only plus I see so far is shield charge.
My guess is people like to try out something different, and go with concepts, rather than go with more reasonable defense sets.

Unstoppable is a last minute resort. You really don't use it unless you are in a real bad spot and even then I make sure to time it with dull the pain so I don't wipe out.
There is really no no need to slot it, if your capped, and you definitly don't need IO's for it.
This may change when we get inherient fitness, but I'm just speculating.

LSK,
Hang in there bro. I was out of work for almost a year myself. Something will come around. Good Luck, I hope to see you back soon.

Sorry to hear your leaving Guil. Good Luck!

We are currently looking for new active members to continue the tradition.

I tried to get one going once. Someone said it only took 45 mins to complete. Reality was it did take 45 mins just to assemble the team and another 30 just to get the mission started because 2 of the 3 teams were in a completely different intance than us. Needless to say we never finished it.
I'm sure it is fun but the set up is the true pain, unless you can get 24 SG members to run it with you.

Foundation of Freeddom will be hosting a Costume Contest for Heroes and Villians in Pocket D on December 11th 2009 at 6PM/pst. All are welcome to attend.

I have an Inv/SS Tank. He works great but the IO's make him better and you don't need the most expensive IO's to make a big difference.
As a previous person mentioned, look into soft capping him. I personally like having enough damage to get most enemies out of the way in less than 4 punches. The best defense is a good offense. It's really about balance not becoming a defense spunge.

Can we make it a Dalorian with a flux capaciter instead? =)

Let me first state that I am a loyal player and feel COX is the best MMO of its type. That being said, I hope the developers are concerned about distinguishing themselves and that feel the heat from the competition. I feel the competition will ultimately bring on new ideas and improvements that no one has thought of before. We as the gaming community will benefit. Even though I hope COX will win this battle, I think it is one that is healthy and necessary.

My top 5 reasons to have player from around the world on the same servers:

1. Super Groups can gain prestiege 24 hours a day
2. Less Servers means more money for bigger and better updates
3. More players means it will be easier to team
4. More chances to PVP
5. More opportunities to play if you can't sleep at night.
