  1. Just a quick one, I'm making an AR toon for concept and didn't want to take Dev so was thinking EN. My question is: Does the power boost effect work on the fear of ignite?

    Oh and if your worried about pure range being not very good, I built my en/en blaster with 35% +dmg from sets and now hardly have to use the mele powers, bein able to one shot +3 minions with snipe without aim or BU is funny.
  2. I call dibs on being Hero 1. He might be currently MIA (or a rikti now), but legend and he had a mighty sword (fnar fnar)

    Oh and that cape.... WANT.

    And that's not including Flitz, who has been maintaining the Team GBH base as 'interim' leader for about a year now! I really should start recruiting.

    Hmm join the Club, the SNHS now has two members but Precip (my alt) is never leaving as she's been there since day 1.
    So I have a huge fully stocket base with a bunch of TPs and about 3.5mil prestige. Coalitioned it with my personal SG, so no need for TPs etc in my main base.

    Odd FPS

    I'd second that, if the version of herostats you run is out of sync with the current live version of CoX it can cause huge performance issues. The titan tracker used to do it, but iirc they correct a couple of issues.

    What have you got set for your depth of field and bloom effects?
  5. I guess in the higher level zones you tend to get a healing blanket that covers people in the thick of it, plus people chucking FS right left and centre. That will help alot.

    Don't want to start a nerf fire/kin thread, but damage cap, fire damage + SC raid lastnight and it was a wholesale slaghter (and lag fest)
  6. I like to run Impervium armours rather than (Titanium Coating) in all 4 of my dmg res toggles. This gives you +10% recovery and +9% max END. They do have a high price though, spent just over 180mil on 16 (4 sets of 4) recipies and the salvage to craft.
    Maybe I would go for a couple of sets of crushing impact for the +rechrg and +acc in place of the makos.

    Otherwise looks nice.
  7. Got all the non-zombie badges on 2 alts today. We also did 3 Eochai's in a row. 1 spawned right after another in talos, about 400yrds away.
    4 defenders (3 rads) and a scrapper took him down...

    Anyway, who farms the same TF over and over in 24 hours?

    If you have say 4 lvl 50's you can get 8 recipie chances for under two hours work if you have a bunch of like minded people.

    I hope they don't say you get a big bunch for flashbacks (having just ground through all the sub lvl 30 badge combinations)
  9. Oh one other tip.

    As you friends if you can coalition with them. Free Base TPs means you can leave that expensive section out.
  10. Happy cakeday (dark or otherwise )
  11. I have a SG just for me and my alts. I mainly use it for crafting and storage of crafted IOs. It's not that I don't trust the coalition guys, but I'd rather know that all my stuff is there and sorted the way I left it.

    As for paying for it, if you keep it very small it's free. Or even the smaller paid for base plots don't break the bank.

    Having a second account helps with invites etc. As for prestige, It's quite easy to make 50k in an evening accross two toons.
  12. Would still like en mele for scrappers or elec at a pinch.

    Dark or Rad for blasters.
  13. Making a DM/DA scrapper in i3 because some one on the forums said they were rare and "a bit more of a challenge" than the claws/regen I was playing......

    Oh and dropping a bonfire on lag hill in itf because I was tired (honest) and though that was the icon for flashfire.....
  14. I still think the guy air walking in the city hall is the best one. I mean come-on 4 years and not corrected.....

    My wife and my 4 yearold's teachers were not overly impressed with the one phrase she could remember after 1 read.....

    Then when the next week she explained to her class mates what happened to the food you eat (ie where poo comes from)........


    Oh and as to the OP, I just can't be bothered any more. Myself and my SG mates will all still be here. Some may take a month here and there to play "the new big thing"tm but they soon come back when they find out it's junk.

    I13 screenies!

    Sure it's all been said above, but I LOVE the fire shield. Some of the rest are a bit Meh though.
  17. Oh I forgot:

    Precip: Storm/elec . weather related name and a type of cleaning fluid (didn't find that out until I started working at the hospital)

    Question

    Hopefully this shouldn't arrise as I have created toons on a number of the US servers with what I consider 'My Names'(tm). So I would just delete the lvl10ish name place holder and move my mains.

    I like to do this in all games I might like to play. Get in the beta and then reserve my names.
  19. 1st Toon: Larac - Old D&D 1st ED toon
    1st to 50: Dagar - Old Rune Quest 2nd ED toon
    2nd to 50: Dagar Blonstaff - full name of the above mentioned toon

    Superiluminal - Space type name I found on dictionary.com sounded good for a PB

    Rest of mine are nearly all names of books or obscure cyberpunk/steampunk characters.

    Affordability

    I'm sure the drops thing must be random. But some times it does seem to be slightly off.

    For example I hadn't had one drop in nearly 6 weeks on min 10hrs a week farming, but then I had 3 in one evening. The person I know who has the most pimped out builds farms ALOT prob 3 times as much as I do and it must be said he gets purples drop alot more oftern than I do.

    One guy I speak to alot does two katies a day every day on a lvl 39 toon hoping to get a mircale. He's got plenty of nice stuff lotg's etc in the past few months, but not the one he wants.

    Some one also said to me that you get better drops after misison completion. Could be true, could be a load of old toss. I tried it and got a couple of nice rares, tried it the other day and got jack.

    It's all just luck of the gambler

    EN/EN/FM Build

    Hi all,

    I have been working through a few builds for my en/en blaster and have come up with this. I already have nearly all the enhancements in the build and have most of the rest as recipies ready to craft.

    Are there any glaring errors? Have I missed something really really obvious?

    I have been going for +dmg, +acc and +rechrg.

  22. Mine would have to be my DM/DA/BM. Maily because he is the only one I have spent the time and INF to fully IO with as many purples as I can cram in.

    He can quiet easily tank the nictus's in ITF and stay allive in pretty much any situation. Although it's getting really stupid the number of MoSTF attempts I've been on where people have gone ewww scrapper, make sure you stay out of the way all the time and then been faceplanted becasue they were chatting about how ubba they were....

    The BS/DA/DM could be more fun if I wholesale swapped the IOs over, but I don't currently have the INF or drops to fully pimp him.

    Basically any scrapper is fun.
  23. Sounds better to me.

    Oh and happy cake day frice.
