hm. fair enough points. but I'd at least like to say that I apologize for offending her in any way. -
Quote:Ever see the movie Wayne's World? A phrase from that film comes to mind: psycho hose-beast. It may sound like I'm joking, but I'm not. For someone to have that kind of reaction to your response.... I think either the person was playing a prank on your or has serious issues. Either way, it's a sign to steer clear.Originally Posted by DoctorParadox

So when it comes to there being more Kheldians around, will people simply not invite them?
"We don't want Kheldians, we get Cysts!"
I really hope not... -
Quote:A model for what? A sculpture? A paperweight? The cysts in the ITF are inanimate objects that are no more threatening than the superadine crates you have to destroy in the Hollows missions. The cysts in the ITF do nothing.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Seriously. The Cysts on the ITF are working better. Use them as a model on how to do things,
What's REALLY cool in the ITF is when you get a 'real' cyst along with a neutered one and don't realize it until the fluffies start popping up.

Quote:Yep. That's exactly what I was going to say, but I decided to read ahead and check if anyone had already said it.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
I believe that these totally clueless individuals are AE babies that returned for the 2xp weekend then discovered they couldn't get 2xp in the AE. Having no idea how to actually play the game they try to form their idea of the perfect team.
Sounds like AE n00bs to me. -
Right..... um.... good luck defending the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada?

Quote:Boo hoo hoo.Originally Posted by OnlyHuman
So you're trying to compare non-combat pets of another game that from the get go can be unlocked after a few hours and there are more then one? And I have to wait three years too get one, an only one. Crap!,.. My bad again. Guess it's money well spent for me.
I would hate to see how you handle disappointment in real life, where it has an actual impact on you. -

Quote:Yep. I leave it off until I'm in the fight AND it looks like it will be a tough fight. If it doesn't look like I'll need all my toggles, that's the first one I drop.Originally Posted by Biospark
For a Tank, I think its kind of unfair that Cloak of Shadows was not changed to something else which gave defense but not stealth. But thats just my opinion.
The reason I say this, is that if you are planning on tanking for a team, being Invis/stealth is counter-productive to your role. I am sure there are some folks that have a way around this, -
Quote:Emphasis on the word "now". I remember being poor. I mean, like, POOR. Poor enough that I had to respec multiple times while leveling so I could sell back my SO's in order to afford new ones.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
On any objective scale, poverty is now completely voluntary.

Quote:No. The regular enhancements (SO's - Single Origin enhancements), which expire, are obviously expendable. When you get new enhancements, or a different type, you can just drop them ON TOP of the enhancement you want to replace and it will get rid of the old one. Also, if you really want, you can drag and drop them into the little trash can in the lower left corner of the enhancement screen.Originally Posted by Arcelian
Only way for me to use these since I put the consumable enhancements in my slots already is by respecing, or so I understand.
1) It's so slow.Quote:I'm also regretting choosing super jump over flight, which I must ask, why would anyone NOT choose flight?
2) Why would The Hulk be able to fly? Or The Flash? Or Batman? Quite simply, for most heroes, flying makes no sense.
FYI, you have another option available. You can switch to your SECOND BUILD. Every character can have two complete builds with different power picks, different slotting and different pool powers (like flight vs leaping). You can NOT change the powersets. If you started as a fire/energy blaster, you can't change that.Quote:My plan is to have these non consumable enhancements ready for when I respec....but I'm not really sure where these trials are that I have to do to be able to respec?
Or am I totally going about this the wrong way?
You can switch to the alternate build at any trainer and you can switch back any time if you decide you like superjump after all (but you can only switch once per 15 minutes). -
It sounds like you simply got kicked out. You could try posting in the section for the server it's on and ask if anyone can put you in touch with the current leadership.
-
Just be to clear: you must already be flying and have 'auto fly' (AKA auto run) active in order to use the flypose emotes.

Are you by any chance on a satellite connection? That's pretty common on satellite. The workaround in that situation is to start the updater, then start another, then another and another. You want at least 5 or 6 of them open, trying to connect. As soon as one connects, the others will display an error message and you can close them. I would try this even if you aren't on satellite.

As for Dark Regen, that's a power that begs for frankenslotting. You can get over 90% on heal, recharge and end reduction in five slots.Oops. When I said over 90% on heal/recharge/end reduction, I actually meant ACCURACY/recharge/end reduction. I figured the heal was so massive, and I would only need the power at all when fighting a crowd, that slotting for heal was superfluous. And I didn't want to spend 6 slots.Quote:Originally Posted by Talbein_Vikshus
Dark Regeneration
2x Theft of Essence (Acc/Heal, Acc/End/Heal) = +regen bonus
2x Touch of the Nictus (Acc/End/Rech, Acc/End/Heal) = +hp bonus
2x Harmonized Heal (Heal/Rech, End/Rech) = +recovery bonus
which yields 80% acc, 82% endrdx, 83% heal, 69% rech at max level for each IO
Not quite the numbers Ironblade gives out but I don't know the slotting he uses offhand. -
Quote:It certainly sounds like it is NOT merely more slots being available. Since you would have to pay to unlock them, they can hardly be considered "free character slots".
And Much More
Collect new badges, experience new additions to the Mission Architect system, enjoy additional free character slots, and more. -
Quote:For the record, question whatever you want.Originally Posted by GeneralGlory
For the record I'm questioning the timming of 2xp weekend before the issue drops. I disagree with the 2 contact marketing theory. At this point we aren't growing our player base.
I don't think anyone will lose any sleep over it.

Look on the bright side. At least it has human-size figures that appear in the fog and disappear when you get too close.

Quote:And yet I had MULTIPLE people asking me to team when I was online around NOON today on a 'low population' server (i.e. not Freedom or Virtue), while you'd expect people to still be at work or school.Originally Posted by volcainc92
Today i thought it would be easier to find team i was wrong. I've been playing city of heroes since it was in beta. When city of heroes came out you were able to find a team no trouble at all. Now almost 6 years later its almost impossible to find a team.
Imagine that! -
Seeing lots of good advice here. My guy is dark/dark with Tough and Weave. He runs TEN toggles so IO'ing for +recovery and +END was definitely necessary. I also went for positional defense.
As for Dark Regen, that's a power that begs for frankenslotting. You can get over 90% on heal, recharge and end reduction in five slots. -
Quote:Sure. I have a SD/axe at 50. He's built primarily for survival so his damage output isn't as good as it could be but his survivability is awesome. I think my ice/SS does more damage - probably because I really slotted for it and have a bunch of +damage set bonuses.Originally Posted by Fire_Minded
Anyone else have a SD/ Tanker they are very happy with?
-
Quote:It's definitely useful. Once you're on combat, the stealth effect goes out the window anyway. Frankly, I often leave this and Weave turned off (particularly when solo or on a small team) to conserve END. But in a tough fight, add both of those and it makes a world of difference.Originally Posted by Street_Wolf
In scoping out the powers a bit, I saw cloak of darkness in the list, and although I'm no expert on the Tanker AT, I just thought that that sounds kind of contradictory to what a Tanker does best, which is to hold aggro. (Or so I think that's what it is.)
So I figured I'd ask the Tank community here, is CoD bad for a DA/* tank? Or is it still an effective power?
7-1/2 to 8% defense is not a big deal by itself but, if you can add anything else to that, it becomes noticeable fast. I have the Steadfast unique, Combat Jumping, Weave and some set bonuses. HUGE difference. -
Quote:Actually, that's a security measure and it doesn't relate to it being the same retail item. And, annoyingly, it's random. I have successfully purchased the same item twice in one day on the same credit card. I have also had the system tell me NO and had to use a different card for the second purchase.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
Also, note that I believe there is a block on purchasing the same retail item twice in the same day using the same billing information, so keep that in mind when new versions come out for upgrade.
