I love my AR/Dev blaster... so much so I made him my badger. But like others have said it is not the best blaster combo if you're looking to steam roll through content solo at lvl 14. It's a slower paced set that becomes more survivable with prep work if you are going to solo.
With that said, my AR/Dev has a "few" IO sets on him and while he is slower paced while solo'ing compared to other blasters he is very survivable. While I team with him on TF's mostly, his AoE is devastating as I get Full Auto up on every mob sometimes twice if there are a few bosses and how many other blasters are on the team other high dps AoE's.
Lvl 14 is tough to call it quits on a toon though; I find most toons slow before 20. I think this holds especially true for AR/Dev as you don't really have any of your AoE's or the END to fire them off in rapid succession. However there are plenty of threads on the forums complaining about AR/Dev synergy, dps at higher lvl's, lack of single target dmg, etc. so to say its a great set and your missing the point would be far fetched at best. Some people simply don't like some sets. Play what you like, it is just a game after all. -

I know these people in the camp are just "civilians" and not trained soldiers who would know how to set up a proper defensive perimeter around their camp. But if they seriously let their guard down so much that the zombies were able to just walk into camp via the unguarded road or some-such then they really all deserved to be killed right then and there.
I know people in this thread have been arguing the idea that after several weeks/months the campers would grow tired or complacent enough to let their guard down. But seriously folks they just saw a "geek" like a day before a few yards from their tents. If there was ever a time for them to "wake up" and get serious about being prepared it was then.
Basically I would feel better to learn there was some kind of "trick" as to why they were so easily attacked (like someone cut the wires) because if they were just totally stupid then I won't have much sympathy/empathy for them from now on.
I can see the clip now where his bleeding stump has a bunch of zombies following him as he comes across the van. He climbs in through the back, with a bunch of the geeks trying to get at him and he drives out to the camp for a special delivery!! -

I'm sure there are quite a few Illusion Controllers out there whose concept involves them summoning featureless energy people rather than duplicates of themselves. So would this be a new option somewhere just for this one power, or baked into the animation effects like choosing Original/Bright/Dark, or what?
If optional, then /signed but like everyone said, if time to change the coding is an issue do the devs want to spend it on an option that might be used by 1 powerset from 1 class??Quote:Originally Posted by DrMike2000
But, it would be very very cool to have this option. -
Yeah I dinged this last night as a Rogue. Just wasn't patient enough I guess.
-
Can you get this awarded as a Rogue? Or do you need to be full villain?
I haven't been keeping track but I am "sure" I had gotten enough to have this awarded. -

Sounds to me like the searching for ideas would because you genuinely want to make a good impression. Now without reading too much into the untold long story this is what I have found in my experiences with my two nieces.
My nieces are very girly girls. Princesses, ponies, dress-up etc are always big hits. My advice would be to look at getting them something that they can open, set up, and play with. Money doesn't do any of that and the chance to make a good impression will be forgotten by the time the get a chance to go to the store and pick something out for themselves. The nine year old might get it but the other two are a little young for that. I made this mistake the first few birthdays with my first niece.
If you want to make a good impression on their parents however, cash IS king. Depending on your budget I would consider throwing in some cash into the card with an explanation that it is for braces, college fund, glasses or even another gift if one you picked wasn't a homerun. While the kids won't care about this and will be busy opening and setting up the real gift, this will go a long way with most parents.
As for suggestions for specific gifts, like FMP says, a budget would narrow the suggestions. I know what I would get them but you may think that the gifts are either too cheap and therefore insulting, or beyond your present budget constraints. -
Title pretty mush says it.
I'm looking at respecing a few 50's and was hoping to work out a few builds before hand. SuckerPunch's works but the is only updated to I16.
Anyone know an updated, Mac friendly builder/planner? -
I'd be willing to try and chip in on this. I'd love to bring my blaster but have defs and trollers to help out with.
I take it 3 pm eastern. -
So I get hired on at NCSoft, stay close to Positron and nerf everyone. Being reviled is not super!
TPBM you can shrink to the size of a small rodent. -

If your girlfriend (or boyfriend, or whatever you call your significant other) told you that you had to choose between her (him/it/them/whatever) and City of Heroes, which would you pick?
Her: It's either me or that stupid....
Me: DONE! Grab your toothbrush and those *** enlarging flannel pajama's outta my place. And don't call begging me to take you back till Monday; I'm doing an all Shard TF weekend. Laterzzzzzz.
Anyone who gives you an ultimatum like that is simply performing a power play. She's a control freak and trust me, it wouldn't have stopped with CoH. -
Not a big forum guy myself, but I thoroughly made use of and enjoyed your FF defender guide.
Also a classy exit from what seems like a classy guy. All the whiners/ragers/etc should have a link to this page posted when they go off the deep end and threaten to pack it in. -
As a history buff, I tend to use a connection to names of places, people, battles, etc. from history.
It may seem a bit easier for me as I come from a Canadian perspective. I have no doubt that names like Gettysburg or Iwo Jima are probably taken. -

Yep operator error for those who might care. for some reason when I installed the magic mouse the secondary click wasn't enabled. Had nothing to do with in game settings. :P
-
Hmm... i thought it was the holding the right click so I could swivel my camera angle that wasn't working so I'll peek at my options when I log in. Funny thing is my regular mouse works just fine so I figured it must have been something with the magic mouse.
Thanks for the reply. I won't be surprised to find out its operator error after having logged in and trying to play following a 15 hour work day. -
I'm coming back after a long hiatus to check out all the new stuff. In my first log in I noticed that I couldn't get my magic mouse to right click for changing camera angles and what not.
My search fu didn't result in anyone else expressing this as a problem so I am wondering if
a) anyone has had this as an issue?
b) if there are settings I could adjust to get it working again?
Just thought I'd ask on here before I get a chance to log in again and try to figure it out for myself. -

So let me ask you this then:Why cut the badges then? Why "punish" someone who did the efforts of "farming" (like no one here have EVER EVER farmed or PLed) with a higher badge count and reward those who only get to farm half of a same thing and get the same reward?
Because Ice blasters didn't slow everything they faced to a crawl in PvP zones and the opposite power balance was out of wack?Quote:Originally Posted by Skattershot
nerf Regen and slow powersets (Spines/Regen) in a PvP so the benefit goes to those who only invest in SS and 2 ranged attacks can pummel at ease?
See the above argument about "being fair." Equality does not equal sameness. Making unique characters with different powersets is what making an original hero fun and interesting for most people.Quote:Originally Posted by Skattershot
understand that Tankers/Brutes are melee, and aren't "designed" to have ranged attacks, but what about a "Blapper"? They get the benefits of both,shouldn't melee?
Ok this is sounding bland even to me but again not everything needs to be the same. If price is your deciding factor there are plenty of free MMo's out there.Quote:Originally Posted by Skattershot
WoW's had 3 expansions, factor in 40 bucks each and a low-cost monthly (yes,with taxes) and we have 4 $10 packs with a few costume changes and emotes. Still paying more more in the long run for CoX.
I play on a Mac. While I will be the first to admit that there are some annoying problems with the unsupported video cards, I play through it and at least I am able to play since my iMac is my only home computerQuote:Originally Posted by Skattershot

Quote:The badges that were taken back were taken back for a good reason. They were not being awarded as they were intended and people were griefing. I left and came back after a 9 month hiatus because badging numbers were becoming so ridiculous that I either played and farmed in all my free time or quit all together. I came back because I enjoy badging and have stayed because badging has become doable in regular gameplay while I still can enjoy things irl. I was a sliver away from empath before the big nerf and have no problems with where the requirements are now.Originally Posted by Skattershot
"Witchhunt?" Hahahaha! funny stuff. Well, excuse 'ems if my sentence structure" and grammar's crappy, just never thought i'd have to proofread what i say, but putting this in "SUGGESTIONS", i had this alterior motive:
Devs...LISTEN to the PEOPLE. I mean they've been saying the same crap for years,and while i hate to agree with some of it, they are original ideas. Ya'll be saying ya wanted new suggestions, being in a Suggestion place? OOkies, here goes...
1.)Up the badge-counts BACK to where they were in the 1st place.
Ok, sure... but really, this is suppose to be a major flaw with CoX?Quote:Originally Posted by Skattershot
2.)You gave us colors for powers and such,EXACTLY like Champions Online. Why not coloring the pets for Doms,Trollers,and MM's?
PVP=/=PVE. Hence different rules for the two instances. There were balance issues before they changed the PvP format, and you complain that there are still some? Create a new toon. PvP is going to be a moving target for some considerable time to come. Get use to it. Its not that Slows, heals, immobs don't work, its that they don't work in the same way. Adapt, learn.... expand your mind grasshopper.Quote:Originally Posted by Skattershot
3.)Instead of nerfing powersets in PvP, why not put them back? Slows,Immobs,Heals should work,after all, they do in PvE instances.
If this game is too expensive for you.... 1)Get a job 2)Quit smoking/drinking/donating to your favorite charity. 3)AE edition is on sale at Steam at present for $10 and comes with a month time card.Quote:Originally Posted by Skattershot
4.)Lower the price back to a "normal" state. You charged people double for both gaems,minus a small discout. Now that the 2 are one, why not get competitive with all the other MMO'S financial wise?
In short think outside the box and adapt to your situation. You sound like my father who talks about the good old days. -
Quote:So what you are trying to say is...... wait, are you trying to say anything?Originally Posted by Skattershot
Congratulations! If I didn't know better I'd swear you're trying to finish this game off and maybe go on to something else. You CLAIM to listen to the people, yet the ideas you come up, i'd argue that point seriously. For YEARS people have asked for the same things, like costumes for MM's and Tankers with a ranged attack,yet you wind up doing whatever you want anyways. The one true original idea that you had with Mission Archetect,there obvioulsy wan't a heck of a lot of forethought behind it, and you release another issue just to add to it? Get real, that was a waste of a really good issue. You should know that people with take advantage of anything they can, and if you didnt see the MA abuse coming...well....let's make sure we nerf it multiple times so those who DO enjoy the cool stories reap NO REWARDS anyways! Hooray for killing the Original thinkers! Now to reward those who PLed off of MA...hmm..Let's lower the badge counts by,oh,let's say HALF...Yeah,that'll anger all those badge-hunters who busted their butts for weeks getting certain badges when some noobie can come along and in a few short days attain the same goals some veteran who worked hard to get his. Yeah, that'll kill the veteran badge-hunters! Now, let's hit the poor...after all,some of them are paying twice as much for both games AFTER you already merged them into one set, when WoW's prices are half as much...bye bye low income players. Now, let's get the rest by announcing a NEW expansion that,of course we'll botch so hard in the beginning that it'll drive off the rest. I mean after all, we can't get 1 game set,let alone 2....let's go for broke! What's left? Oh,right,PvP....i know, let's destroy any supplement powers like heals,slows, and Immobs so the only thing we have left is people zipping around blasting away. After all, can't heal,and make sure them with the best range and speed wins,forget any other powerset. So all we have left is PvP with zippity zip shoot and run. Nice works Devs! Keep up the good work! This game has so much potential to run for years and at the rate you're killing it, it'll be lucky to live a few months past CoRogues....Maybe you should actually READ the forums instead of browsing it, Some ideas i think were pretty bad, but should lead to brilliant gameplay....

I also like the idea of making it into a zone with 'older' buildings, like the Bloody Bay.
However, there should be a reason to revoke the fog. A minor TF would do the trick
Finish it and the zone will be fogles for one 'in game day'. -
