The first person that truely inspired me back in Issue 2, when i was still a wee little nooblet. He took me into redemption and gave me my first (and still mostly missed) home on Justice. He gave me so much advice, and helped me with so many things, i can't ever forget those moments.

QFT

I have made a lot of friends here, but Redemption and Frostigy made for some of the best experience I had in this game. I remember the raids back when it was uncertain if it could be done successfuly, and the missions. It was great.

Regards to Deffiance sucking. This is not the thread to post that. This is the thread to find the real problem. As far as it sucking. I firmly believe that it does not. If it sucks for you, then you do not have a good team. It isn't as good of a power Solo. Your team needs to keep the agro off of you when you are in the red and have Deffiance Activated. If your team does their job, you are a killing machine. I have a RL friend that is a controller. Together, using voice chant, we run through missions at 4 or 5 times the normal rate.


[/ QUOTE ]

I just want to say that this thread has been worth reading if only for that last little bit. I wonder what kind of chants they perform to go through mission 4 to 5 times as fast as the normal rate? What is the normal rate? I gotta get me some of that chanting action.


Sorry if this was already brought up. I'm still laughing.

For the record while I am a solo player the times I do team it is with experienced....and often "AWESOME" players. Defiance never even comes into it because I am healed by the "MISSINFORMED" or the bad guys get hit by "THORS ASSASIN" before I even get there.
The argument that defiance is good as is, is dumb. It's great that you found a way to use it but like all other things blaster if you compare it to the special abilities of other ATs defiance sucks.
If defiance had a beter scale for dam vs health at least then someone who solo's all the time, or people on a truely "AWESOME" team would be able to better benefit.

As it stands only those who work realy hard at making it work find any use for it. Or those who are on not so good teams.

As such you must prove it.

Anyone else having memories of Circuit_Boi?

We don't need to. You're the one with limited experience, as so stated. We're all in agreement, you're the dissenter, you go prove it.

Actually, no, defiance has sucked since it's inception shortly after I5. The posts that you are finding are testament to that effect.

[ QUOTE ]
As a developer myself, I find it hard to trust users on their statement of what is actualy going on and regularly rely on Historical data to prove or disprove said statements.

I have begun to try and search for it, but am getting frustrated because all of what I have found so far has been statements to the effect that Deffiance is bugged because of its effect, not an actual bug more a unsatisfied player.

[/ QUOTE ]

I cannot even begin to descibe the irony of this statement given your bickering with me over the last few posts. You and this attitude are precisely what I think is wrong with CoH and it's dev team. They're too wrapped up in their vision to understand that it's not just about the power being bugged (which, I gather, it is) but it's about the fact that we hate it! and it's not fun and that it's useless

Does it not occur to you that perhaps the sheer preponderance of posts may... y'know... indicate that there is in fact a problem?

[/ QUOTE ]

Bingo!

Keep in mind that anyone can copy a lvl 10+ toon to the test server, use that toon to make a sg, then make thier own pretty looking base complete with IoPs. I wouldn't put too much faith into anyone who says they made their own base on their own.

Not to call anyone here a liar, I'm just saying keep it in mind.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is true but a lot of items can still only be obtained through salvage, and you dont get that for free on test, so a good way to tell is if the person has a lot of salvage made items in the base (like me).

Not exactly a theme song, but I often start with this:

followed by music then this:

This SG has 1 member (me) it seems my one other member has quit. But here is my base, I paid for 95% of it through willpower alone.
It is technicaly not raid ready yet, but that is only because of the bug that kicks in after 4 IoP markers are placed. I have the influence and am waiting for the patch.
While it will be raid enabled, that was realy done just to see if I could, and I have no real intension to do any more than 1 PvP raid (just to try it)
Anyone on Justice interested in joining an SG for Solo players (and full access to this base) send a pm to me or @markus v8.0.
The only requirement is some time spent in SG mode to pay for upgrades and rent.

Some more good news...

Ice Tankers and SR Scrappers have long lamented that Defense doesn't scale with level. Because mobs higher level than a player possess an inherent to hit bonus, Defense isn't as effective over levels as Resistance.

A while ago, peoople have requested something be done. Well, we've done a bunch of work and done this. Defense powers will now work equally well against critters, regardless of their rank or level. For instance, your defense powers will work equally well against a Boss or any critter up to 5 levels higher than you, as it does for an equal level minion. This change has no effect on a player who does not have any Defense.

This change is coming in I7

[/ QUOTE ]

before you guys get all excited, remember that 0 defence to even level minions and 0 defence to +5 fits into his discription.

I will withold my praise until I see it implemented.

You know I used to think I was king of badges, but the truth is I don't know anything about the CoV badges (since I think that game is stupid) and of late there seem to be many people surpassing me in number and knowledge of badges.

I just hope they bring in more rewards for being a badge collector. I don't need to be the best I just want to benefit.

Edit: But I am still king of animated avitars of Markus V8.0!

LOL! I was thinking more a new power to use every 20 min.....maybe something conected to the hat? Like pulling attack bunnies from it?

Yeah.......Killer Attack Bunnies!!!

I still say there should be an accoalade marker badge for 300

it's so worth the DL Trust me on this

Trick Question. The answer doesn't matter. It has the same psychological effect that a one-shot does.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bingo. This was exactly my point.

PvP is a very fine balance and there are a lot of ways to creatively combine powers for extreme effect. Assassin Attacks, while powerful, are only the most visable (irony?) example. There are others which are worse and whatever solution we come up with for 'The one shot problem' has to address as many variations as we can identify.

[/ QUOTE ]


I dont think 1 shots should be done away with, in fact I think that sniper attacks should be increased to match.

Most excellent.

Consider this bumped!

Right now a lot of posts have talked about the high Prestige cost of Base items - and that they're bringing in a ton of Salvage but can't really do anything about it.

Bases, as they currently stand, really focus on mid and large sized groups earning Prestige - so the complaints have a good point. We're trying to work something out so that a smaller group can get something useful quickly - and also put Salvage to use! Can't promise a timeline, but we are working on it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Try to keep in mind that those small groups have already put everything they had into the Big base, so if you end up making something smaller for us pls allow our existing work to be transfered.

Over the 4 day weekend, I left my computer running with Eviscerate on Autoattack. (Both my target and my character were set to not take damage so there was no worry about killing each other.)

I attacked a total of 38917 times.
I hit 29275 times.
I missed 9642 times.

That is a 75.22% overall to hit chance against an even level critter with no defense powers.

There is no "Accuracy Wrap Around" -- otherwise Blasters with Targetting Drone + Aim + Build Up would never, ever hit, which is not the case.

[/ QUOTE ]



Blasters with targetting drone cannot have build up.

[ QUOTE ]
One of my favorite tactics, actually. Nice to see other folks using it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Isn't this tactic the very reason they put in supression on SS.

I don't agree with supression, but I don't think a dev should be promoting a tactic that other devs have deemed "broken".

Get rid of all supression, thats what I say!

I don't know if that is even possible. I spent 6 hours in a PvP zone and oly got to 158. Then I zoned and it was back at 0

Have any lv 50 heroes rececived the Forward Observer badge for doing a patrol mission in a PvP zone?

I tried doing it by teaming with a lv 23 who could get the patrol mission and he got the badge and I didn't.

Any suggestions?


Thanks!

anyone know what you have to kill to get the Fortunata seer Gladiator badge?

It's the only one I am missing (next to the bugged ones)

[ QUOTE ]

Alright this will be one of the stupidest questions asked yet...I've been away from the game awhile, how do I locate the reference points? If a badge is at -1223 etc, how do I get to that waypoint? Apologies for the idiocy, and many thanks for the big list of badges.

there is a /loc command (I think you can set it in options menu) that will give you the X, Y , and Z co-ordinates.
