Quote:Logic?!Originally Posted by Lothic
Apparently the Mods of this forum feel it's more useful to have multiple threads open on the same topic than it is to have related posts organized under one thread no matter how old it is. The "logic" of that will always elude me. *shrugs*
What's that?
The ad hoc style of moderation and rule enforcement 'round these parts' nowadays is almost laughable at this point. Almost.
To wit; The recent surge of DCUO related threads that have managed to escape the inane "No game other than this one even exists" rule simply because it's mostly trashing it...
How a thread can be considered 'dead' when it's only 3 weeks old, weeks in which we saw a decline in forum posting due to testing and double XP is beyond me. Even more so when said thread is an interesting and thought provoking one that continues to spur conversations.
Instead we have to abandon all the 'Good Stuff' that was already covered, create yet another thread on the topic and spend most of the posts repeating what was 'Locked' in the previous one...
Oy. -
A few I just now learned/figured out.
/Cleartray will remove everything from your trays except macros. Very useful after a respec.
The most recent discovery I'm very very pleased about.
If you have a mouse with the side buttons you can bind attacks or inspirations to them.
The Back click is Button4
The forward click is Button5
Currently going thru all my alts and giving them these binds;
/bind button4, inspexec_name Respite
/bind button5, powexec_name Fly
Allows me to free up an additional space on my tray by removing the travel power icon as well! -
To look at it another way, Shouldn't you be saying that Controllers and Defenders powers all need to be looked at to be both useful when teamed AND solo?
No??
Then why expect Time Bomb to be useful when teamed? It's a trade-off.
Not to mention that when your teamed you shouldn't even need Time Bomb.
tl;dr: If I don't expect my Heal Other to be useful when I'm solo why should you expect Time Bomb to be useful when teamed? -
And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, I am determined to prove a villain.

136 across all servers. Some dating back to Issue 4 still sitting at level 20.
I generally make it to around level 28 before shelving them for some mysterious reason. Makes my play sessions rather.... erratic. As I'll jump on one for a level, then another for a level etc etc.
Took me 3 1/2 years to get my main to 50 and he's still the only one I have... -
I've always heard it was left that way on purpose, as giving our henchmen better AI would make us way overpowered. This way our moronic minions keep us just a tad above all the other AT's instead of lightyears.
That said. I'd be a happy camper if they'd just fix the bug that cropped up with Demons and stop my Robots from brawling everything... Was much more manageable when they would get stuck at range. -
Is this just a feature for the B.A.F. Trial or the game in general?
-
Yeah...
I just mentally change the 'P' to a 'B'.
I mean, I get the meaning behind it but honestly I like the sound of
Strike Back more and it's less confusing.
Gotta wonder what they were thinking when they gave us the WTF acronym as well...
Then there is the new Dev Beastyle and his unfortunate abbreviation of
BS.
>_< -
The most visually impressive for me would have to be Eden.
I just love the feel of a world overgrown. Makes it feel very apocalyptic.
Most stunning the 1st time you see it would be a tie between
Boomtown and the Crashed mother ship.
My personal favorite zone to play arc wise is always Croatoa.
Favorite zone to just chill in has to be Atlas. -
Congratulations on the Epic ding!
My favorite 50 Ding was more planned out. I got to within 200 points of 50 and turned off XP. Then I went to Atlas and kneeled infront of Liberty. At the right moment I used the complete mission option and Viola!!
A new 50 was born for all in Atlas to see!
Back OT.
I rolled up a Warshade a while back and was initially underwhelmed. I love the concept I came up with and the general feel of the toon but just felt so weak starting out that I couldn't really get behind him.
What level did you start feeling competent at? I'm just not sure I could wait 30+ levels just to get Eclipse. -

Oh, and another non-animal-headed costume making use of the animal fur option (and the savage emote):
Amazing Ape in his skivvies!
Someone had mentioned not being able to do proper briefs on the furry legs... But I thought this worked pretty well (with dark colors for the briefs, at least... they're still hairy, if you look closely... but, for the most part, I did not notice while play testing with this costume).
And just for good measure...
Amazing Ape (aka Professor Silverback) pondering things (once again using the savage emote)...
Even though I don't like the thought of a sudden influx of Animals coming to town, I've already figured out a reason in character.
For me it will be explained that we discovered another dimension where sentient humans never came to be, thus allowing other animals to take our place. This world is being destroyed by some disaster/ being taken over by Cole. So we're getting an influx of refugees.
So, with that in my head as the reason why, I don't mind joining the Pack/Herd! -
Yeah, that looks even more clunky to me. Though in all honesty it would really only affect my Empathy toons. Having the Alignment and AT types covering the health is the only realy problem I see though.

Like Johnny could ever understand any of Reed's tech...
Personally I like the new outfits. Spidey in particular. Kind of looks like something we could do with our creator with the pattern down the legs, just missing the spider emblem. -

I once raced someone in-game from Atlas to Portal Corp on a level one alt without using the trains on a bet.

Thanks that did it!

I installed GR last night to my new computer via the online client, as I figured it'd be easier than digging for the CD. Everything went fine except...
Now I don't have any COH related icons avail for some reason. The icon shows some Microsoft clipart and when I right click and go to properties and click the 'Change Icon' button the only ones that come up are the default ones for the PC.
Any clues why this is and how to find the icons? -
To tell you the truth. The only Redside character that felt anything like all my Blasters ended up being;
Brutes.
Once Fury is up and running, being able to one shot left and right gives the same feeling as a Blaster, with the added ability to not die.
I tried Dom's and Corr since they were both ranged but found them significantly lacking in damage compared to my preferred class.
Brutes provided that burst damage feeling I'd been missing...
That said, I specifically bought GR just so I could roll up Evil Blasters and Heroic MM's!!
Nothing tops being an Energy/Energy blaster in the Isles! I love it. -
I wonder what'd it'd look like if 24 Blasters all clicked their Nuke's at the same exact moment during the BAF Trial... You'd probably see the explosion all the way in Nova.
-
For out and out damage I would have to say Fire/Fire as well.
But for if you sacrifice a little bit of that damage and go with /Ice instead you'll get a ton more mitigation! Late game nothing can touch you as you melt everything in sight!

Well I just went out a bought a Dell Inspiron off the shelf at Wally world and was blown away by the increase in performance.
The long loading time doesn't exist on my new machine. The loading bar is on screen for all of 3 seconds now.
However, if I try my Friends 1 year old Laptop (That can run STO without issue) he has the same 10 minute loading bar.
Also, my old computer still has the same issue.
Makes me wonder if it's a driver issue. -
Yay!!

Just came back after a few months away and thought my rig was finally 'giving up the ghost'
Takes 10 plus minutes to get to the password screen for me.
I'm not at home or I'd provide the specs. -
As a veteran Blaster, I have to say
No chance.
Defiance 1.0 felt like a gimmick, yeah it 'saved' me a few times but more often than not, the internal debate on if I should pop a green or trust my defiance buff usually resulted in me faceplanting.
Defiance 2.0 doesn't suffer from this problem and has actually saved me much more, yeah when I'm held I can only fire off my weakest attacks but most times when me health is really low I only need one more bolt to finish them off. -
Fire/Fire Blaster
Fire/Mental Blaster
Robotic Mastermind (Once your past 32)
Those are the big 3 off the top of my head. -
I've been a confirmed Atloholic since 2005. I've created somewhere around 500 various toons over those years.
1 was a female and she got deleted at level 3.
Just felt to weird to run around with a female avatar. So I stick with guys.
Means there is a whole bunch of options in the costume creator I'm not even aware of.
