    Avatar?

    Time for me to take a step up... I need an avatar!

    Any tips for uploading? For instance, dependable websites, acceptable file types, dimensions?

    Only 1 ACC?

    [ QUOTE ]
    On a side note I love the detail and char bios on your virtue vrs. In particular Dredge and Ghoro and look forward to reading the others whenb you finish them.

    hmmmmm, maybe I need to investigate and figure out this V verse myself.. kinda like the idea of writing my chars stories.. lest some of them.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Unfortunately I haven't been able to put much time into their stories and backgrounds. Each character eventually crosses paths with the others, so I mean for their stories to be part of something greater in the end. I'm glad you like my work though.

    The only assumption I meant to imply is when my lvl 50 slotted 2 acc AND leadership and a few global acc gets reduced to 30-40% chance to hit fighting 2-3 +3 CoT dark using bosses...Your skill would have to be WAY above the bar and well above my humble skill to succeed same mission with one less ACC SO.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It's not purely skill, it's merely help from to hit buffs. It's all incorporated into a larger equation that decides whether you hit or not. Accuracy can only boost your odds in small amounts, whereas a little accuracy paired with a little to hit buffage can go quite a bit further.

    I can't agree with this and if you ran that all boss CoT mission in beginning of Midnighters arc on any of your 50s for example, I doubt you would either. Unless of course you lowered your game diff. For me tho making my enemies weaker so I can slot only 1 acc is not desirable.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I like that you make the assumption I only play on easy. I can easily make the assumption that your skill isn't quite up to par for playing on harder difficulties and that's why you find those missions difficult with 1 accuracy, but you wouldn't like that.

    So, let's be fair and say your milage may vary and 1 accuracy has worked for me through most of the game's content, including Invincible lvl 50 STF's, LGTF's, ITF's, Midnighter's arcs, AV soloing, etc. If you are having difficulty in your experiences then please ask the appropriate question next time instead of making fault assumptions about other players.

    Only 1 ACC?

    1 accuracy is all you'll ever need. It's relatively easy to use IO sets to get global accuracy raised another 10%+ if you really feel you need it. Not to mention the to hit buff powers available to all ATs (depending on build, of course) in one or more powers (Tactics, Focused Accuracy, Build Up, Aim, etc.)

    Brute or Tank?

    Yes, here is the link to the recent thread, all 12 pages of it:

    Brute vs Tank
  8. I can imagine we don't have military in the game because it would be based on the RL United States military (since Paragon exists in Rhode Island, in the US). So, a lot of political issues would arise.

    If somehow it were to happen, I could see the military perhaps battling Malta and Nemesis in mission story arcs, not really having open battles in city zones.

    Brute or Tank?

    I'm exhausted, I could swear seeing a heated thread on this last week.

    Talking about mid, any idea when it will get ugraded to include I14 sets? Gladiator's armor is not there.

    thanks

    [/ QUOTE ]

    According to a post in another thread, Mids original designer is throwing in the towel. But, someone else is apparently taking lead over it, so we should be seeing updates in the future.

    Also, check out the KB and recharge on AS. It's up every few secs, and can knock down bosses with each use, mitigating unbelievable amounts of damage.

    Mid's doesn't help us Mac users who don't have access to Windows...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Mac was my first and only brand of computer for about 10 years. I gave it several chances to catch up in terms of its compatibility issues with... everything. I tried...

    But, I couldn't wait any longer. My life became 20,000 times easier with a PC, and I could finally install CoH on my machine (pre-Mac release, of course). I feel your pain, I really do, but that's Mac for you.

    Not until there's nobody left to pick up the reins of the program. I've actually talked to Steiner about it (the guy who has picked up Mids' development), and I think we'll be just fine.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    In that case, very good news! Kudos and many thanks to Steiner!
  13. Mids will eventually become out of date, but by then I guess we'll have to go back to what we all did pre-Mids: Respec Trials.
  14. I can hit the run speed cap without a travel power on my Kinetics defender. AND it's perma with luck on my side.
  15. I thought blue was your Mana bar...

    *runs away before being stoned*
  16. It seems like a plant controller should be able to throw or project plants at targets that will then grow and entangle them. Kind of like Poison Ivy throwing potted plants at Batman in the cartoons and comics.
  17. I just create a BS generic toon really quick and trial and error. I log out and check the character creation screen and click back and forth between the generic toon and the character I want to duplicate. Eventually after 2 or 3 tries I get it right. Takes only about 5 mins.
  18. One day I find myself as a City Official, the next I'm a Shop Keeper. I can't seem to hold a job for more than a week before I'm moving on to the next one. Will I ever find my niche?! I mean, sure, crimefighting has its advantages at night, but during the day I need a steady career to help finance my cleaning bills, hospital stays, and fancy gadgetry. Anyone else having similar problems? Please help!

    SG Name Change

    I started a thread on this not too long ago, you can use it as a reference to what has been discussed so far on the topic:

    Option to rename SG
  20. Never played a plant controller before, but I've played other controllers with no problem with "target in air." Does this only apply to plant'ers?

    What is ED?

    I'm surprised the topic hasn't yet plummeted into a pit of flames, guess players are FINALLY getting over it.

    Im french, as you prolly know allready.

    We won't hold that against you.

    Like the others have said, you really have to think this out before posting. Your logic has taken you as far as "there's a problem." But you haven't thought through your proposed "fix" for it. Like, the other thousands of problems it would create in its place. Kind of like those medicine ads, the ones that help cure one ailment only to introduce 50 other side effects.

    Not sure if it's auto-hit or not but I don't remember missing all that much if I did.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Just ran a few missions using it and I haven't missed once. My other attacks were missing like usual, even when enhanced to 1.38 accuracy against the same foes. Then again, the power is PBAoE and I waited to use it in the largest crowds, so it may have only affected say 2 or 3 out of 10 targets...

    I put AmazingMOO's list up on Mediafire, if you want to add it to that list.


    Here's the link.

    Thanks for the updated list, always interesting to look back on things like this.

    Actually say what your idea is so that you can get other people to discuss it. You can do it here.
    If some thread gets hot and has a lot of positive responses then there is a chance that something will happen.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Problem is I've seen a few good ideas or suggestions in threads that got buried in the rubble of flame wars that were brought on by many a troll. Granted many of them were brought on because the OP'er couldn't except negative criticism and chose to flame rather than constructively argue a point in his/her favor, but there are still those out there that (like the Joker) just "want to watch the world burn."
