  1. Welcome Avatea.

    I hope you like both CA and our community. Good luck in your new job and new life.

    And don't believe what people say about Golden Girl, she is the sweetest.

    Its a great game, run by a [censored] company, we might as well just get over it now.

    Well said, Londoner. It is a real pity only two games i have interest in current MMO Market run by horrible companies.

    For rubberbanding, LCMS's i can say i am getting them more and more each day... even on solo maps. I can't remember if i've got them in public zones but i am surely getting too much for my taste on mission maps. And it is not only me, usually all team get LCMS at the same time.
  3. I usually use Thunder Strike for KB part of the attack to scatter mobs while soloing. Sure my all powers do KB but it is the only AoE attack of Apostle other than Nova.

    So in the end it is so so. Animation is also cool but you get more damage then you inflict during that animation.

    I have an empath/elec defender and he can zap a lot of endurance from enemies with just short circuit. I also slot ball lightning for end drain. I also remember reading that defenders also get a bonus to the end drain that they do, but can't find the link at the moment. I think a kinetic/elec would be very good. You could drain speed, regen, recharge, endurance and damage.

    Doesn't all defender blasts have secondary effects boosted? I guess my Nrg defenders make way too much KB than my only blaster.
  5. Nice work indeed. I wish i can color things like this. Need to spend more time on computer for coloring i guess.

    Villain artwork

    Wow nice art work. I liked ink stage more, as you can see everything clearly. Also coloring is quite good, i am very clumsy when it comes to computer coloring. It still feels odd after years of hand painting.

    Keep up the good work, mate.
  7. Even i don't like 3D Art (i find it unnatural for my taste) i have to admit your works are best among what i see. My personal favorites are action poses.

    Well done. Hope we can see more of your works in future.

    Empathy

    Only pool i can suggest to an Empath (or any kind of rez + veng user set) is Recall Friend. Not a must have but good to have as i find it priceless when the right time comes.
  9. <QR>

    Thanks for the official statement, GR. It is really sad to see you go. I hope future will bring better things in your life. Take care.

    I didn't completely read all the posts but what i understand from general behaviour players liked this news. Not me, i still think this official statement is too late for something they planned since last year. I don't trust NCNC/NCWest or whatever you want to call them.

    I can understand in order to survive in Economical Crisis they need to cut off stuff. Many companies world-wide doing it. In my opinion important news like we got last week must be declared to playerbase by company. Hearing that kinda important things from other sources is ugly.

    Anyway i know from general behavior of NCsoft my opinion matters so little for them. I wish good luck in their future projects but for me my NCsoft adventure ended, i am just waiting for my time to leave.
  10. Hmmm tonight i have Super Rad team but i think i can be there if i remember. I still have two Defiant alts. Hmmm which one to bring...
  11. Knightly

    Mind Control

    Yeah this is why i deleted my Mind/TA after level 14. In future in order to lock mobs i will need the Total Domination and there were too many good powers to choose. Also i wasn't using TA part as much as i wanted.

    Instead i rolled Araf as Mind/Kin and as i am delaying Siphon Speed he is going good atm.
  12. Yay for us! We completed Citadel without too much hassle. I have to admit that was my most enjoyable Citadel run.

    Our base is looking er... exotic. Thanks to Herczeg for both base design and his surprise show up on Saturday Night.

    This weekend we will continue Croatoa Arc (not many missions left iirc) and Katie Hannon TF (just for Mr. Marvellous to get a witch hat to complete his "goergous" cossie :P )

    Also very special thanks to Mister for his company on Citadel TF. Your help is much appriciated mate.
  13. It also effects mobs end too iirc as it is aacepts End Mod enhancements.

    To be honest i didn't find both EM Pulse and IW on Psy-knight. In solo IW maybe helps a bit versus surprise attacks by mezzers otherwise you have decieve (i have confuse and mass confuse) to effect mezzers in the first place to attack you or your team. Depending on decieve and your holds is better idea on a troller. IW maybe good for non confuse sets especially.

    In the end it is best for yourself to see and respec it out or not. Every hero has their own unique style.
  14. For pet recharge set see Maelywns post in Inventions section.

    I dismissed EM Pulse on my Mind/Rad but i have two powers to disable enemies unlike a illusion troller so i don't have any idea if they worth it or not.

    For your build, i am not that keen on superior builds so can't say anything, sorry.

    Gracious, this is all turning rather political! - em,cower

    I've emailed practically every global NCSoft PR department I can think of on three continents and let them know in no uncertain words exactly what I think of the current situation, and pointed them the way of this thread.

    All I can say is if somebody... anybody doesn't get back to us to let us know what is happening - then I'm sorry but there is something fundamentally wrong with the company as a global business. There is no business scenario including a company takeover that warrants total communication blackout for your customers.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    After seeing GR posting here and don't (can't) say a word about things streghtened the idea of silenced employees scenario more. So as higher places didn't say a word in this time of crisis... well we are kinda alone for now. They will inform us when they please/pity us. Honestly if they will decide to say something after 3 days i will never trust their honesty either.

    So i think i will join Statsis and others on greener pastures in the end. That disrespect they shoved us is unforgiveable in my opinion.
  16. As usual when i am feeling troubled i grabbed my pen and paper and draw my latest favorite hero in game...

    Araf

    Still have doubts about re-rolling him as Mind/Rad tho'. As Rad more suited for his judge role...

    Anyway without shadowing it looks meh a bit If i draw others i will post them as well.

    Also this picture shows Apostle and Psy-knight in their original forms.

    Now What?

    Could do what im doing in that using the trial account to get a feel of what the community is like over the pond before commiting yourself to it. The rumours are true as well, you get a lot less lag. Oh and i logged into freedom earlier today (was something like 5am their time?) and was still a lot of sewer teams running.

    Are you trying to convince us to follow you into US servers?

    the truth of the matter is u wont see the full nature of i13's demise until the q1 fy 2009 is realease as i13 was only realeased on the 2nd of dec

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The truth of the matter is that Issue 13 had a sustained positive effect on server populations and subs.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    As i said i am seeing more new players or returning players in Union these days.

    Can we say same about i14? I don't think so especially on New Player point of view. People don't get into games to build mods for a game they know nothing about. At least that is my idea.

    Now What?

    [ QUOTE ]
    I may well do that, not spending all my time on WoW now that my main is geared up over there (gief Ulduar plox).

    Wait, no replying to tells? How are you supposed to arrange to get into teams? Blind invites only??

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That or some kinda trial account sense to find sewer run starter in Atlas. I am seriously amazed with that ability of trial account users. And don't forget you will only level up to 14... for me it is a nights works

    It's hard to say exactly what has happened without the month on month figures, but with December '08 including an issue release and only being just under 400 higher than the previous quarter, that's BAD.

    Another thing to note is exactly how many staff the Brighton office lost in September. From 149 down to 84. I wonder exactly how many are left after Wednesday?

    To be honest... With such numbers, if I were senior management at NC I'd be asking serious questions as to the continued viability of CoH... They almost certainly have a close eye on it.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Interestingly i am seeing more returning players and new players in game nowadays.

    On the other hand i don't think i14 will have a big impact on game or it will drive more new players to the game. I hope things will change with i15 and it is as big as they claim. After release of CO we will see less new players i guess.

    I am not sure future is Doom or not, my only current goal is taking Flying Circus to the 50 then i can take my leave also. I always trusted NCsoft when it comes to Dev/Player relationship but now, after what happened and still not having an offical announcement really [censored] me off. It is not a last moment decision in my opinion and they choose to remain silent.
  21. Hmm okay than here is somethings you wish to consider;

    - Only one slot in Speed Boost is enough i guess, End Mod. If i recall correctly it is a fast recharge power already and it's end mod value is pretty good.
    - You will probably want at least 2 acc in your Siphon Power.
    - 1 slot in health is enough. You have your own healing power and it won't make you a regen scrapper. Maybe two is also a good idea if you come across some proc like Numina +Rec/+Reg. (You can get it thru Merits which is too simple if you ask me)
    - 6 slots in your armor is bit overkill if you don't planning to slot it with a full IO set. Also maybe it is a better idea to swap places of armor and Siesmic Smash. 1 End. Rdx + 3 Dmg. Res is enough for your shield so you can 6 slot SS.
    - You can put extra slots in Decieve or Siphon Power. Malaise is a good IO set to slot in Decieve, gives good bonuses and not that costy except one or two rare salvages.
  22. I meant respec in TF PoV. If you want to do Synapse or Posi you will be auto-ex'ed you know.

    Did you place slots according to your idea of slotting or is it random?
  23. Heh we are overpowered or what?

    That was an enjoyable teaming and amazed me.

    I think i will use my last pool choice for Concealment. So we can ghost some TF missions and do it on a fast pace.

    See you on Monday
  24. LOL, Cuffzter.

    One tip that work for us on Valley of Lag. If you start mission from the end; taking Romulus and other AV first and run down the valley somehow lag is decreasing.
  25. I can see your point Damz. I think recent events effected all of us in some degree. It is good to see you can still enjoy the game and good luck to you on US side. Show that high nosed Americans (they don't like GG, can you believe that? ) how an event organized.

    Have fun and take care,
