Well, that's a problem with your character; not the mission or zone. I can TP across Firebase Zulu or the length of Indpendence Port non-stop.


Or not. It's actually a pretty easy mission. I've soloed it on a number of different AT's with no problems.

So you haven't done the RWZ arcs yet?

Aren't these numbers a bit high, like by a factor of TEN!? I have an HD widescreen monitor and my resolution is 1920x1080. Maybe trying to drive a screen resolution with almost a quarter trillion pixels is causing a problem.

As I recall, there is a third party program that lets you change the game resolution from outside the game..... called TweakCoH maybe? I'm not sure.

And he played on the Infinity server. I actually ran into him, once upon a time ago....

Yes, but I think the OP was referring to casual players getting them as drops. Since they won't be slotting the purple, they will sell it and receive a large amount of inf (to a 'casual player').

Yes. My scrapper already has the Efficiency Expert badge at this time. At default settings, as I recall, the 15 minute timed mission took me 4 minutes and the 30 minute ones took between 8 and 12 each. Beating the timer is very easy if you have reasonable damage output. Stealth also helps. A very low damage build might want to bring a DPS pal with them.

This was my thought, as well.
I think the Swap Ammo power is also a test for something more dramatic in the future.

All that happens is that they disconnect without displaying a countdown.

Now, when someone gets their named changed to 'Generic 012345678', you can actually see the change as it occurs.

You could be multi-tasking.

Or did you mean you don't brag about what you've done in the market?

Bah! I have already defeated you in my mind, because I have the will of the warrior!
Want a rematch? Hah! You lose again!

+0/x1 and I still get tons of bosses, often bringing a friend, while solo.
And your settings don't affect the spawns, anyway.

I'm a badge hunter. I recommend doing all of them at least once. If you want to work your way up to the epic grind, hold off on Dr Q. That is the longest - by far. Just look at that merit reward.

Three characters to take down the AV's? hmm.... These guys are actually pretty tough - particularly Lanaru. Storm powers are always annoying. If I was hand-picking a team of 3, I'd want controllers with debuff sets and pets for damage.


No. If some LOG OUT, it will still spawn for 8. If people QUIT THE TF, it will scale down to the new numbers of players. It has been this way for quite a while now. ALL task forces will scale down as low as 2 players. If you only have one left, the TF disbands.


No. See above. There was a short time when they did not scale down. This was an early (and sloppy) attempt to prevent exploiting task forces (8 join, 7 log out, 1 person solos it easily, 7 log in for the final mission). This was changed so that if people QUIT the task force, it will scale down. You still need 8 to start them.


P.S. What server are you on? If this is on Infinity, I'd be up for any of these TF's. Also, I have 2 accounts so I could use one to pad and/or sit at the contact.

Am I missing something? Is there a reason to avoid saying what the ambushes are? I mean, it tells you the second you enter the mission exactly what's coming.

I agree on this. It requires a little too much organization for something that happens with no advance warning.


I don't see this at all. Even if no one broadcasts about teaming, if you go to the 'unofficial meeting spot' for that zone, there will often be a number of people already there just hitting stuff. This makes it easy to get a crowd. All you need is people that like to hit things. No discussion or planning is needed (aside from /L Can I get a team?).


I only agree for the Banner event.
Furthermore, if they could be announced or planned in advance..... maybe occurring every hour on the hour. That way, you could plan with your friends, "Hey, let's get some teams together for a banner at 8 EST."

Definitely a useful guide. My stone tank is 31 and I've started slotting IO sets. It looks like he'll end up pretty high performance although it's not cheap. I'm going to have 4 or 5 powers slotted with four IO's as follows:
Luck of the Gambler def/+7.5 recharge and LotG def/end
Gift of the Ancients def/+7.5 run speed and GotA def.

In four slots I'll hit ED on the defense and have +7.5% recharge, +7.5% run speed, +10% regen, +2% recovery. Not bad at all.


How many buttons does your mouse have? Mine has two extra buttons on the left side and these are 'standard'. Regular mouse drivers, Windows and CoH recognize them just fine. All my characters with Teleport have it bound to Button4. I click the extra mouse button to target, then the left button to teleport. I don't need to touch the keyboard at all.

I felt that invuln pretty much sucked until I got SO's, while WP seemed (to me) to start off relatively strong.

As for which is tougher in the long run, beats me. I have both invuln and WP at 50 and both have the Fighting pool. Both are really tough. I've tanked Lord Recluse with the invuln, but never tried it with the WP. Both of them (actually, most of my tanks) have tanked the ITF and did fine.

I guess it depends on what you plan to do. For 'all around tanking', I'd say WP is easier to play and more versatile. For 'extreme tanking', like Lord Recluse or multiple giant monsters, I'd say invuln. To be fair, I specifically built the invuln for extreme tanking and the WP for versatility since that was my IMPRESSION of each sets forte.
