  1. I'm wanting to give Scrapping another go but I'm unsure what set to choose.

    A quick rundown.

    My 1st scrapper was DM/Regen. I love this guy! From the 1st moment Smite hit at level 2 this guy has felt powerful. Even with only 4 main attacks he's always been a beast.

    But, Regen as you know, requires you to be paying attention constantly. I decided I wanted to roll up a more robust Scrapper so...

    Over the years I've tried;
    Claws/Regen
    Broadsword/WP
    Kat/SR
    Kat/WP
    Elec/Elec
    Kin/SR

    All of them stalled around the mid 20's though, as they just felt very weak compared to my DM. Since I mainly play Blasters I love extreme damage. Claws was the worst, I felt like I was slashing air with all the damage I was doing at 26 with fresh SO's. Electric seemed promising but just wasn't providing that same 'OOmmpf' that I got from DM.

    So...

    In your expert opinions, Is there a set/combo I haven't tried but would fit my style? Should I stick with one of the above and focus on IO's?

    I was debating rolling up a War Mace/? since I've heard it hits like a mack truck but I'd also like suggestions on the best pairing, if that is the consensus on a set I'd enjoy.

    Thanks for the assistance!

Moved one of my 50s over hoping to try the new trial but it's been a ghost town...so I am on the fence of maybe going back to my home server. Would like to have a 50 on the VIP server for dev related events.

    I fully expect that within a few weeks time Exalted, the ViP server, will become known as The itrial server. All itrials, all the time, with very little lowbie groups running.
  3. Well, that's just from March - August. The rest of the time the entire store is filled with Christmas decor and merchandise.
  4. I recall Jack being adamant about us not being 'SuperHeroes' and instead just Heroes.

    I think his 'vision' was SuperHeroes can't die, therefor we couldn't be Super.

    Then again, there is the whole DC™ issue.
  5. That was really well done. Loved the humor, the blatent cross promo just took it over the top!
  6. Indeed! I was hoping it worked like that, the bonus token being for 1st purchase regardless.
  7. What Badges can you get on Exalted that you can't on the others?
  8. I keep telling my friends, give it a few more years and Wal-Mart won't even bother changing it's stock. They'll just end up having all Holiday stuff out year round. 2 Isles for Halloween, 1 Isle for V-Day, 2 isle for Christmas/Thanksgiving.

    With the appropriate Holiday getting expanded on if it is within 4 months of it.
  9. Wonder how we'd feel if we didn't even have the option to buy it NAO. If it was attached to the old Vet Rewards, as the 90 month reward. Then it would truly be out of reach for most.

    Still not saying I agree with putting such a lust worthy set so out of reach for most, just giving reasons why it could be. If we saw the Celestial set running around as much as we're seeing Rocket Boards, it would kind of deflate the significance of the set.
  10. I don't currently have any Incarnates as far as the endgame is concerned. However, of the toon's I have only a few really make sense to go the incarnate route.

    Renewal of Ra would make sense, he's the embodiment of the essence of Ra, brought back by the well as one of it's temporal champions.
    The ChronoKnights.
    I can see him going the Incarnate route, eventually.

    Hmm, currently he's the only one I'm playing that would even make sense having that kind of power.
  11. Gandhi's belt would be perfect for my Ra themed character, anyone kind enough to tell me what it is?

    Please don't say Celestial... Please don't say Celestial...
  12. Maestro Morbidus - Necromancy/Dark Miasma.

    He was a dark sorceror who died in the late 1700's. Using his magic, he was able to 'trap' the essence of Demons within him, absorbing their power in the process. Once he trapped enough demons within himself he was able to escape back into the realm of the living.

    His goal?

    Destruction of all reality...


    He loathes reality, in all it's facets. Even the thought of an 'afterlife' is almost to much to bear. To this end, he seeks out as much ancient knowledge, as much magical power as he can. His ulitmate goal? Awakening Rularuu and assiting him in the destruction of everything.

    Only then can Morbidus truly rest.


    (How's that for apocalyptic?)
  13. Us 'casual' players usually don't have many 50's. Even less of us actively play our 50's.

    Casual players tend to have lots of alts stalled around the 30's. We play casually, like 4 hours a week casually...
  14. I'm 3 tokens into filling tier 8... Even that has Celestial feeling out of reach for me. Shame to, so many toons could use some of those pieces...

    Though, it does have me curious. With such an extravagant initial offering, I can't imagine what's going to replace it when it gets rotated.

    10 Years of CoH

    Started playing 3 days before issue 4 went live. Been here ever since!

    Went to wally world to pick up UO at a friends request. Saw Statesman in the corner of my eye and picked up the box. The picture inside with the Hero flying high above a city... SOLD!

    You can. At least you should be able to. I bought and added the Rune aura to my level 8 Beamer tonight and the leaves aura for my level 1 plant/poison the night before.

    (Now that I think about it. I haven't tried any of the level 30 standard aura's. They may indeed be locked out.)
  17. Broken forums are broken. I had to reset password just to even get back on after the 'update'. Now the remember me button might as well not exist.

    From what I heard, those models made the animations act wonky. The beam would be coming out of the air 2 feet to your left on some attacks.
    To bad, I'd prefer having the Shock Cannon on Beta Beam as well.

    You can still unlock the Aura's at level 30 like always for free. The option to buy them is for use from 1-29! No more waiting 30 levels for that aura to complete your concept. You can also buy the 'right' to wear capes at level 1 now, or wait til 20 and run the mission like always.

    To clarify: You are NOT required or expected to send back a ton of extra inf later. It's a gift, not a loan at 30000% interest.


    Poor Brewster.
  20. I messed up...

    I had about $20 I could spend on points this month. Instead of being smart and buying the 400 points package 1st time out, to get the reward token, and then buying the $15 package, to get another token. I bought the $15 package 1st.
    So I think I jipped myself out of a token. Oh well.
  21. I've got a related question. The way I interpret the power... I use Disintegrate, then one of my single target attacks to get the spread, keep following up with ST attacks until it spreads and then use AoE's.

    My question is, will my teammates ST attacks trigger the spread? What if they are Beam as well?

    Beam Rifle/what?

    I see nobody is looking to pair it with Kinetics. I've never played Corr's before but was thinking about trying Beam/Kin...

    Should I maybe go with something else for reasons I'm unaware of?

    Time Overpowered

    This makes me curious about the dreaded 'n' word. No not that one.

    So, with these new sets, what happens if they do turn out to be OP'd. Would the Dev's nerf them down like before now that they are being purchased individually? I would hope so, for overall balance reasons. I can just see a huge fallout compared to the normal deal, if everyone can post.
  24. Next purchase here I come. After 7 years, I'm kind of tired of helping Hero1 get his stuff back.
