Minotaur

Dr Scott made me think that I don't recall any retired or active heroes or villains in a wheelchair. Is medicine/cybernetics so good that this doesn't happen any more ?

I have an ice/MM/elec blaster that I really like, currently only SOd, T3 reactive, clarion, ion, cimeroran, T4 spiritual.

Am moving towards IOing, budget highish (purples fine, no PvP IOs), and undecided what I should slot for.

This is mainly intended as a team/league toon, I'm not worried about soloability.

I'd be interested in hearing opinions as to whether I should go after extra defence (and if so which), or recharge and offence.

I like the elec epic as it gives me 3 cones of different damage types, so I can have full separate ST and cone attack chains.

Very experienced player and build designer, but more for melee types than ranged.

We really need to find a way of doing this. Have just been on a trial where for no obvious reason he just jumped clean over the wall (causing the trial to fail) from the NW corner.

Only suggestion is that he aggrod on somebody exiting the hospital despite other people hitting him at the time.

I'm not going to quote FP's wall of test, but most of it's laughable.

What's stored in base is IOs, the rest is fluff.

Note that FP quotes the amount of personal storage if you've purchased the max amount of adds, these people have spent nothing on storage, one is currently unemployed and would be subscribed if he wasn't, he's not spending much money on it (although he does contribute to CoH by occasionally buying the odd new powerset). So they can hold 10 IOs per character, and 16 ? stacks in the AH, but most stacks are of size <3 as you don't tend to accumulate 10 level 37 oblit quads etc.

Also it's not a whole lot of fun to actually play a character where your enhancement trays, recipe and AH slots are always completely full, and unsurprisingly as they only get access to say 7 of their 50 characters (they're vet enough to have IOs), these are the ones they play.

And yes you can invite a VIP player to your SG. I did this for mine till I made my second account, but you tend to find they're never actually around when you need them.

Unfortunately, I know of 2 players with solo SGs who have recently returned as F2P, they have left again because while they can use their SGs, they can't pay the base rent which is a related completely bone headed design decision.

I have made a second 99 cent account and will keep paying for a couple of months till I get the extra token to get SG access on it. My main account will stay VIP and the second account is purely to invite toons to my SG (which is shared with a friend who rarely shows up now), but you really should be able to invite your own characters while offline.

Mainstream SGs just don't work any more with the storage item restrictions. I'm part of a very large SG, and we can only survive by having personal SGs to stash loot in. I have at least 3 bases full of my own personal stuff, and several other members of the SG have nearly as much.

I REALLY dislike the way the pink patches of death are implemented in MoM. Why put the large slope leading up to the nightmares if you don't have the tech to allow the patches to ground hug. A patch appears upslope of you with you facing down the slope fighting. a little lag occurs and you're dead without ever seeing the patch which was over your head, worse on short toons.

A couple of questions:

The snowbeast, vanity pet or the functional one ?

Do attuned set IOs and the normal level based ones combine for set bonuses, ie can I put 2 attuned eradications in a power and the other 4 normal ones and get the set bonus for 6 ?

Nice patch, shame the grant of the 2 holiday temps cleared all my trays on all my characters

This sort of rudeness has been leaking into CoH and not just for I-trials.

Last night was on a posi 1, unsurprisingly there were more titanic weapons present than in the average dodgy movie. So 5 brutes, tank, scrapper and blaster went in. A level 42 brute proceeded to die (the only death at that stage) complain about the debt and leave saying "recruit some support instead of me". I sent him a tell explaining that wasn't possible on a TF and it became clear he knew that, but wasn't prepared to play on that badly designed a team.

I have to say my experience of other MMOs is that it's much more common there. It's largely the absence of this sort of thing in CoH that keeps me here.
