  1. I have a concept toon, a speedster (don't we all? ) and really, I just want him to be fast, but is 6 slotting super speed (or any travel power, for that matter) worth it? If not, how many would you put on a travel power? TIA!
  2. On last question, and I probably missed it on the Wiki: The toon I am starting my crafting with is a lvl 41 Natural Origin MA/SR scrapper. How can I tell what IOs will work with him, or will ALL IOs work with him, or any of my toons?

  4. Ok I think I am getting a grip on this now. Let me ask you guys this (didn't see it in the Wiki): When you have a recipe, and it shows the items you need/have, does it take in to consideration the stuff in your vault or just the stuff on your person?
  5. After returning to the game, this seems to be the one area I need the most help in. I am just thick sometimes, but a lot of it doesn't make sense. Is an invented training enhancement better then a standard single origin one? I have a lot of items that it says I have the influence and the items for, but the only option is "buy" and I can't even do that. I also have a list of salvage I can convert in to "brainstorming" or some such, whats that about? I also have several yellow and orange salvage I'm told is worth something, but what do I do with them? Same with Merit awards, they're listed under salvage, what can I do with them? I also have a lot of AE tickets.

    I appreciate any help you guys can toss my way.

    Cool, thanks man! I appreciate it!
  7. I'm just curious what kind of numbers I am getting, but when I do a /showfps I just get 0.0000. Is there a way to bring it up in a hud and leave it on screen while you play?
  8. Question: How much of a difference in performance is there between the gig GTX 460 and the 768 meg one?
  9. Ok so it looks like I will be going with the RadeonHD 5850! I appreciate your input, sir!
  10. Nah, no odd OS issues. Still using XP Pro right now. I have a 600 watt power supply so power isn't an issue. Is the a sub 300 card that would be better than the 2 you suggested or the extra dough wouldn't deliver the performance to warrant it?
  11. I need one that I can run CoH, DCUO and SWTOR at good to excellent settings with decent FPS. I currently have 4 gigs of RAM, an ASUS GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz dual core CPU. It's only PCIE 1, but as I understand it, that slot will run a a PCIE 2 card, just not as well as the 2 would, right?

    I'd prefer to keep it at $200 or less but will go as high as $300 if the performance is leaps and bounds above the lower card.

    Just looking for info or links or whatever you guys can offer.
  12. Hello all, I have a lvl 10 trick arrow/arrow defender and I am trying to get used to the play stlye, having never had a debuffer before (which is what a guild-mate of mine told me I am with that toon... lol) and so far, end use hasn't been an issue for me. Will it be later on? Should I start the path to stamina at 21? Any tips you can give me on this power set and debuffing in general? TIA!

So the advices you'll get here PvE wise wont be valid for PvP. Good luck and have fun
    Ok, thank you! I just returned to the game and saw I could make a second build, could that be used, for say, PVP (last PVP question, I swear! )?

I also concentrated on recharge bonuses in the build to make all the other attacks come up as quickly as possible. I didn't even bother with Flurry because I had two like it, but better. I do have to handwave/rationalize about half the primary's powers though ("oh, I'm...um, stealing your speed and freezing you in one place", etc.). Man is he fun, though. I try to play him as spastically as possible (as befits the character) and when he talks, I type him like this "Ohboythisissomuchfun.Lookatthatguy,manisheuglyHEY LOOKSHINY!"


    That is awesome. I sincerly LOL'd when you told me how you role played him, because that IS Impulse of old! He looks great! If they made a Flash movie, that's how he'd look.

    Yeah, I have. I went from lvl 1 to 8 in the sewers in an hour, maybe less. May just do that. I was really hoping though someone would say "If you 6 slot it its worth it" but I get the feeling it isn't.
  16. I checked the sticky, but a lot of them seem rather old. Is it that the power set hasn't changed in a while?

    While I'm on it, is there a PVP build guide for the MA/SR set? TIA for your help!

    But for future, reference, Sands of Mu is the better of the selections.
    Ok, thanks. My new guy is only a level 8, maybe I will come across it at some point. Thank you! I just love speedsters in general. Was actually going to put one in the comic I'm writing eventually.

    Ah well, you win some, you lose some. Has anyone ever made flurry worth while?

    Hmmm I should have that one I believe. Maybe I missed it?

    Isn't that just a temp power though?

    Here are some suggestions for you:
    Ma/Sr
    Elec/Sr
    Ma/Wp
    Elec/Wp
    Elec/elec
    Ma/elec
    (all scrappers, if your more ranged, Dp something could work.)
    Did you take flurry on yours?
  22. I don't mean the travel power, either. I ask because the Flash (Wally West, though I am enjoying Johns run on Barry... I always thought the DC universe was better served with him dead, but I digress) is my favorite hero. Waid and Johns runs were quite epic.

    So yesterday I made my first attempt at building a speedster on Virtue.

    To start, I went with a blaster, electricity/electricity, but honestly, that isn't what I wanted, but it was the only way I could think of to convey what I wanted to convey.

    I am thinking more of a Melee type thing, but obviously with super speed. Heck, the Flash's attacks could be similar to how they were in DCU VS Mortal Kombat. For defenses, sort of like super reflexes, but instead of ducking and weaving, he'd jerk around a lot, here one pico second, there another, sort of thing. They would be able to run up the side of buildings or across water. Maybe do a ground vibration attack or a dual spinning arm induced tornado attack.

    All I know is I forgot how much I hated flurry until I put him on my new guy, which immediately takes him from being practical, to a concept character, since flurry barely damages minions 2 levels below me.

    What do you guys think? If this has been done a million times, I apologize.

    Vidiotmaps?

    Hey guys, when I used to play I had some 3rd party maps, if I recall, by a person named Vidiotmaps. I can't remember anything else, I just knew that when I brought up my map in game, I saw his stuff with all of the zones and so forth. Are those still around and how do I use them (install them?)?

    Thank you! Is there a "family plan" where it would be cheaper for him and I then paying $30 a month?
