If i can get a team of the usual gang gathered i'll be more than happy to run an ITF with you on saturday.
send me a tell ingame. @jb-warsmith or @jb-warrior

it's a simple fact that masterminds could use another primary set. while the ideas are many, not all of them are worth the attention. but i'll still give my personal opinion on what a new set could look like.

Snakecharmer (or simply snakes)

Tier 1: a basic attack of some sort. like a poisonous spit or thrown dagger (poisoned).

Tier 2: Summon Snake - this will be the basic trooper of the mastermind.
their first attack should be a melee attack with blade/claw/fang.
first upgrade should give them a poisoned thrown dagger attack.
second upgrade could be a poison spit or a AoE melee attack.

Tier 3: a stronger attack (see tier 1). could also be a melee attack with high damage, maybe DoT.

Tier 4: 1st Upgrade. it should upgrade the pets from hatchlings to vipers

Tier 5: An AoE attack or cone (poison spray?).

Tier 6: Summon Mamba. These are the main killers of the mastermind.
first attack should be pretty much the same as snakes. a melee attack with blade/claw/fang. only stronger/more damaging. maybe with toxic DoT.
first upgrade should give them a cone attack with thrown daggers (poisoned).
second upgrade could be a poison spray attack (cone) and/or melee AoE attack.

Tier 7: This tier is completely open. it could be anything from a swarm of snakes crawling up from the ground entangling and immobilising the foe dealing medium/moderate DoT to a basic pet heal. you guys could add a lot of thought/ideas to this Tier.

Tier 8: Summon Cobra. This is the high damage dealer/crowd controller. with strong melee attacks and psychic mind control powers.
first attack should be a strong melee attack.
first upgrade should be a poison spray (cone) or cone/AoE melee attack
second upgrade could be a AoE/cone sleep/immobilise/hold.

Tier 9: second upgrade. should upgrade pets from viper to elder.


The idea of snakes come from starting too many new villains in my two years of playing CoX. i've had the thought of how cool snakes could be as pets for masterminds for a long time (and every time i've been through the Mercy Island arcs) but havent bothered to write it in here before. i dont even know if the idea has be mentioned before.
This set could be an "easy" way of giving us another much needed primary set for masterminds as most of the models and animations is already part of the game. it's in no way a perfect description of what i want/think, it's just an idea to get others started

it took me 4-5 months to realise that if you check someones vet badges when they start wagging there jaw at you then you have some idea how informed someones opinion is.

[/ QUOTE ]

and what about those with multiple account like me (and several of my ingame friends)?
my main account is 21 month vet. my second account is only 6 month vet.
you shouldnt judge people by looking at badges as some people learn very fast and others never really understand what they are doing (i have an ingame friend who's 36 month vet and still has to ask about EVERY part of his build)

on topic:
i dont think there are any bad things in the vet program. pretty much everything is "new" compared to what we had before the vet program started. we didnt have trenchcoats or greek alphabet. free costume tokens were given when the devs felt it was in its place and we could only get 3 respecs (and those we had to fight for and still do).
it can always be argued that some things arent as "good" as others but in the end we didnt have any of these thing before I8 and the vet program.

on a personal note i would like to see my vet status of 21 months added to my second account. it's still the same person playing no matter what account i use and i pay for both of them.

P.S. the last note wasnt not entirely true... my GF pays for both my account. i pay for our internet connection

i'll bring my lvl 27 kin defender - Kinblast
FF will bring her lvl 26 stone tank - Tectonica

if you can't find us online with these toons just send a /t to me.

jbWarsmith out!

if you do this friday afternoon/evening then i'm in and so are my gf.
throx lvl 50 DM/DA scrapper
Fireflayer lvl 50 fire/ice blaster

send me a tell @JB-Warsmith

P.S. what is the minimum lvl on this? we could join with our lvl 25 kin defender and stone tank if that is better.

depending on time and current circumstances i know at least 2 people who wants to lend a hand and give the new hami raid a try.
me with my 50 scrapper (throx - dark/dark)
my gf with a 50 blaster (fireflayer - fire/ice)
neither of us has ever done a hami raid before but are willing to give it at least one shot (most likely several) dying a lot is not an issue to us but we prefer not to

jbWarsmith out!

P.S. give me a shout next time (@JB-Warsmith)

EDIT: we both have and use TS 2

seems like my MM needs both of these too
i'll se if i can make it as i have a respec trial scheduled with my SG m8s.
/t @throx and i'll tell you if im up for it

just respeced my lvl 41 Dark/Dark Scrapper yesterday

my comments are based on my own play style and experience. also this is my first toon to reach this lvl, so take my advice any way you like..

1. i would take Shadow Punch a lot earlier since it has a good damage output.
2. i didnt take Murky Cloud untill i was in the 30's. the damage resistance it offers is good, but i've done fine without it so far ;-)
now, on the other hand, i need it for the endurance draining resist (carnies and malta are very nasty when it comes to this).
3. i respeced out of Death Shroud because i found it very annoying having to run after my enemies. i need the enemy close for 3 reasons. 1- Soul Drain 2- Dark Regeneration 3- Dark Consumption.
4. i havent chosen a single fear power. they just dont fit my play style ;-) but will eventually have a go at these (probably with a new Dark/Dark scrapper. since i enjoy this toon so much)
5. the way ive build my scrap i can have 4 shields running at the same time and keep going like the duracel bunny. my shields are: Dark Embrace (2x endred 3x dmgres), Obsidian Shield (2x endred 3x dmgres), Murky Cloud (2x endred 3x dmgres), Cloak of Darkness (2x endred 3x defbuf). whenever i get low on end i pop my Dark Consumption (obviously!)
6. there are a few powers that i take the moment they are available: Siphon Life - this baby will keep you alive untill you get Dark Regeneration. Soul Drain - just too good a buff to be missed out on :-D. Dark Regeneration - this is a lifesaver! this power enabled me to take on 3 freak tanks +1 at the same time and be the only one left standing ;-). Soul Transfer - when the enemy eventually takes you down they will discover that it was a big mistake! what better way to pay back the baddies than get right back up with most of your health & endurance (depending on the number of enemies within reach) and give them even more hell :-D
7. oh! and Stamina is your best friend ;-)

when choosing a name i usually get my inspiration from one of my other hobbies, metal musik or warhammer 40000.
with my most resent MM i thought of a concept before anything else. it's a science MM with necro/poison.
her name was found using wikipedia as my english isnt perfect, and the inspiration came from a single band called Carcass. they were a goregrind metal band that excisted in the 90's.
my MM got the name Regurgitess (from the word regurgitate, obviously) and her pets got names inspired by songs from said band:
Zombies:
Putrefaction
Maceration
Rancidification
Knights:
Plague
Cholera
i havent come up with the name for my lich yet, but i will as soon as i get the power
the zombie names all has two things in common
1) they have to do with some kind of decomposition of a corpse (human or animal)
2) it STINKS!

having had WAY too much tea for the past month (actually ever since i started playing CoX) i'm back to drinking cappuccino. but to answer your original question: yes, i do like a good cup of tea.
as for the off topic... well tea IS important! but then again so is coffee and cappuccino (and BEER!!!!)

...or better yet! macmoo could join my SG on union (why do i have a constant urge to call it onion)


JBWarsmith out!

Golden_Girl --> Heroes of denmark play on union. i've seen a few of them, asked some of them for advice, and been yelled at by one of them (long story). i will continue to speak with them when we meet, but i won't join them just because they'r from denmark. there has to be chemistry and i have'nt felt that yet.

Hammerfall --> the problem is that most of the nice people are already in a SG. but will give it a try

macmoo --> it's not like i WANT to have my own SG, i just thought it could be fun. the idea never was to be a big group, 6-10 ppl would be fine by me. but as it is right now we'r 2 ppl and one of us with a messed up computer (to put it nicely).

Cpt_Lightspeed --> thx for the invite. i'll probably come to atlas tonight for a little chat but don't know how much time i have.

Gravecall --> you make it sound so easy but i'm not known for my patience when it comes to computergames. patience is something i reserve for work and driving cars

All --> thx for the nice replies. if anyone has anything to add please feel free to post your opinion.

hello

My gf and i started playing CoH (and CoV) a couple of week ago.
when we hit lvl 10 (or rath i! as i spend more time playing and less time googling ) we made a SG.
we'r really enjoying this great game so far and want to make more ingame friends but it seems rather hard to get new members into a SG and that goes souble for us as we dont know a single soul in this game, have no experience what so ever, and have'nt figured out all the game mechanics yet
now we'r talking about abandoning our own SG and joining another one. the problem is... we don't know which one! (surprise!!!)
we have no demands and want no obligations (except to make a lot of new friends).
we play on union and mostly it's CoH (though we both have low lvl villains in-the-making).
we would like to join a danish SG (since that's where we live) so we could be in on any SG-members only RL- party/meeting/activity. but any nationality would be fine as it's really only about making friends ingame/online.

we can be contacted here or be found online as:
Throx (lvl 23 Magic Dark/Dark scrapper) currently doing talos and independence. <-- Me
Fireflayer (lvl 20 Magic Fire/Ice blaster) currently picking up leftovers in steel canyon and skyway. <-- my girlfriend
