If you ask me, it's time.
I miss the days when I would wake up and find a group any time of the day, morning or night. And almost none of the maps were empty.
I understand all good things must come to an end, but a server merger would be a great way to slow that process down.
With the new expansion coming and merged servers, CoH could be pretty close to what it used to be.
Let me know your opinions
I don't see a need for merger either. I am on Freedom because I like crowds more often than not, so I do understand your sentiment. Things appear to be fine...but I never play other servers so I may be off-base on that.
To those that don't like crowds, just do what I do.../hide, "not accepting invites", turn off chat box. It's really easy to play this game alone...no need for a low pop server at all. You'll see other toons, but you don't interact with them. Not sure if that bothers anyone or not.
I wonder if there will ever be a need for mergers and how we will know when Memphis Bill's post is no longer applicable? -
Quote:I hadn't actually thought of Burn like that. Hmmm...Originally Posted by jthig32
With capped S/L defense and high S/L resistance, I very rarely even use Healing Flames. You go so long between needing a heal that you could really just depend on inspirations if you really tried.
Although I should mention that Burn also provides me with another layer of mitigation (and the random stun in Stalagmites to a much lesser extent). Without Burn you will take a bit more consistent damage, as they won't be running back and forth.

enjoy.
It takes a lot of cash and time but you can get a fire tank to the s/l softcap. I've got one that is currently sitting at 19 +% defense to s/l and 70% + resist s/l. Eventually he'll be sitting over 30% def. s/l. He does fine in most situations. Getting Tough and Weave has helped him tremendously. I was running +0x8 Malta and Nemesis missions solo and rarely had to use inspies or healing flames. -
Yours gets pretty close to the cap for melee too I see!
I gave it a quick try myself just now but didn't really get close on defense. I've got more recharge and more regen and HP. Your healing flames scares me a little. Do you find that the capped defenses make the extra regen unnecessary?

I popped in to check out some info on Fire/Fire and there are two threads!
Grin. I must be getting closer to my thread then.
While searching for mine, I saw this thread title and popped in to take a look.
I too have Temp Protection and I leveled with with it...but, I guess I could get rid of it.....hmmm.

Quote:I seriously haven't played the character in about 4 years....I've forgotten anything I may have once known about the set.Originally Posted by jthig32
I just don't understand taking Temperature Protection. Your using an entire power for 10% Cold Protection and 20% Resistance to slow?
On endurance, I just build for it. I took Consume at 49, but honestly I could live without it. And I don't have PP.
As for feeling tanky, my personal preference is to cap defense, either Melee or Smashing/Lethal (the best option, imo). (Anyone want me to tank for them with this character? lol.....)
I'll look around for ways to cap melee....I like the sound of that. -
Welcome and come on in....the water is fine.

Um...wow.
You're not taking Incinerate or Great Fire Sword?
Is this a leveling build or a build at 50? It it's a leveling build you have to take Fire Sword Circle much,much earlier.
I don't see any reason why you need Temperature Protection.
I'd have to see the data block, but I highly doubt you need Stamina, Consume AND Physical Perfection.
I would really recommend doing a little searching for other people's build ideas on Fire tanks. And look through the guides.
I just moved my old one with the free server transfer thing and thought I would see what I could do with his build.
The one I worked up in Mids also has Temp protection, stamina, consume, and PP. I really hate running out of end though. 
I was thinking of trying to go for +hit points, +regen in the build and am grabbing it in every set possible. I really don't care much about killing stuff (don't care about burn), more worried about making him "tanky". -
I moved two MM's over that I was going to move later for GR. Saved me some cash.

Sorry I missed last friday... I've been participating in some of Tammy's all fire/rad STFs lately (I think I got her addiced to it), and completely forgot about our regular Friday meetings...
I'll be on for this Fri!

I did one with her last week I think. It wasn't all Fire/Rad though. I forget... -
I'll be around tonight if it goes down. I'll try not to be in the middle of a respec or something.

Quote:We had a good combo going too. Two bubblers, Two /SR Scrappers (that was overkill for them), leadership toggles going, 3xrad debuffs, 3xAM....even the Blaster was safe.Originally Posted by New Bee
Thanks to Jeet for organizing a quick 40-minute ITF. Only had a couple of deaths surprisingly. Ended up with 3 fire/rads, 2 defenders, 2 scrappers, and a blaster. Was a lot of fun.
Hope we can get some more fire/rads next Friday.
With our safety so heavily weighted in favor of defense/-tohit, I was worried about the auto hit nictus at the end...but they all melted. I do think the one Scrapper got a little too cocky after having it so easy and ran in alone (faceplant). I've done it though...sometimes you forget it's those buffs that are making you into a god.
-
I'll be around.
-
I'll bring Jaina Organa (Dk/Dk Defender) if it's Sat. I may have the Fire/Rad thing on Friday in an overlap situation.
-
Yes, we totally wrecked those Cimerorans. Everything died instantly and we suffered no defeats (looks around nervously).
Well..ok...we had that one "problem" which shall not be mentioned. I blame the Kin!

Fridays at 8pm EST is fine with me. We starting tonight? If so, this might be the only Friday that won't work. Got the remnants of out of town guests stinking up my house.
They may aggro me this evening and prevent me having any fun.

Quote:Perfect for me.Originally Posted by AlienOne
Ok, let's try to plan for a regular time of Friday evenings starting at maybe 5pm PST. That'd be 7pm CST, and 8pm EST.
Sound good?
"Alien"
*EDIT*
Also, as a side note, try to join the "Freedom TF" channel, as I can include a message of the day every once in a while as a reminder to you all that it's coming up. Additionally, if we have way more than 8 people show up, we can start a second team, and all talk in our own channel or something. I also have my own Ventrilo server as well, if anyone's up for speaking "live."
I believe I do have Vent installed on my computer. It is quite "immersion breaking" though. I've never been able to get used to it. ...Hearing a deep "mountain-man" voice coming from a tiny female toon just kills the whole feel of it. lol...
But I'm aware of the benefits on something like this so I can do that too. (Lucky for me my Fire/Rad goes with my voice better) -
Happy TG'ing (it seems in keeping with gaming typing to put "TG'ing")
-
I'm good on Friday, Sat (12:00pm and later), and Sun. Must go to bed early during the week though.

Cool!
Good to see at least 1 person is interested... I know of at least 3 people who are currently leveling up their fire/rads to get them to 50, so if I happen to catch them all on at once, we may log on with our 50s and exemp down to level up the lower level guys, so we can properly do this...

I'd love to see more cohesion after yellow mitos die, I don't say anything cuz I'm waiting for a leader to emerge from this. Drogoh mentioned and asked "is there a targeter." and at one point I thought he stepped up to being the damage targeter. I'd like to see whether blue team leaders and teams taking down blues first or Green team leaders and teams holding greens take down Greens first or not, I'd really prefer more of a cohesion working together to bring mitos down faster. Normally once yellow mitos go down, the main targeter will then direct people together like old hami times and start using $target to point which mitos to kill. Preferably Greens first then Blues. Reason Greens first: well, they will continue to heal blues and the longer it takes to take them down the longer the blues stay up. The longer it takes the more HAMI TAUNT tank has to pop EOE till all mitos are down.
I heard also last night, "how come it's taking longer to take them down tonight?" Well it's a bit tough when everyone is still scattered everywhere like performing mothership raid when we need to be like a doctor taking biopsy of each cancer cells. I'll assign a targeter if I have to next time :P:P I hope someone would rather take charge of the mito damage targetting after YELLOW MITO kill phase.
Thank you thank you hehe Great Raid.

Depending on the time, I'm in. I owe Ghost Widow and LR a couple.

I'll try to make it with my Dark/Dark Defender again.

Good times again Tammy. I guess we were too good though....didn't get a Hami-O cause we finished faster than Friday. (I wonder if they should lower that timer like they did on the TF's?) It's cool though...53 merits is nothing to sneeze at. (Not sure how sneezing at it would help if it was too low)
