Ironblade

How about thematic considerations? I paired electric melee with electric armor. Loads of fun. Took him to 50.

It's random. I was standing outside a mission in Independence Port on a level 41 scrapper. For entertainment, I decided to use Dragon's Tail (AoE knockdown attack) on a group of Family almost 20 levels below me. I got a tip. We went inside the mission. I got a tip in the 2nd spawn.

I ran my ice/SS tank through Ramiel's arc and didn't notice anything different. I don't recall anyone speed boosting me.

Well, taking Granite doesn't cost any influence. Can you estimate what your build cost?

A while back, this was a well-known way to get to Pocket D but OUTSIDE the structure.
Well, maybe not 'well-known'.... but it worked consistently until it was fixed.

No one outside of CoH marketing is going to know that.
My 'guess' would be: not soon, since it was on sale so recently.

There appears to have been a slight change in how targeting works when an enemy dies.

Previously:
Have enemy targeted.
Enemy dies.
Enemy rezzes.
Enemy is still targeted.

Now:
Have enemy targeted.
Enemy dies.
Enemy rezzes.
Targeting is lost.

Does anyone know the reason for the change? My first thought is that it's to address AFK PvP IO farming where you have someone using a self-rez power. I was wondering if they would do something like this and was waiting to see and hoping that death would not cause loss of targeting as this would break some warshade powers. Having the actual rez break targeting seems like a reasonable change that will have very little impact on 'legitimate' play.

Unfortunately, for reasons I won't go into, I don't think this is going to have much impact on AFK PvP farming. In fact, this is such a feeble attempt to address it, that I wonder if there is some other reason for this change. Any ideas?


As for AFK PvP farming, it seems to me there is one easy way to take care of it....

(Not sure if all details here are correct, as it's before my time.)
Once upon a time, there was no auto-logout due to inactivity. People would leave their toons near the transit hubs and it caused lag so auto-logout was implemented. However, if you logged out while on a task force, you were dropped from the task force. So auto-logout did not apply when you were in task force mode.

Fast forward to today - logging out while on a TF does NOT drop you from the task force. So why do we still need auto-logout to be suppressed while on a task force? Is there any reason why auto-logout should not be applicable to all characters at all times?

I'm in. I'll probably bring Ironblade, unless some specific AT is more useful.

Most of my characters are male. Generally, when I make a female toon it's because something about the background or name suggests/requires it. As an example, I had planned to make a WP/Ice tank named Taiga Tiger. That name was taken, but Taiga Tigress was free.
