    Good thinking, no harm in giving it a try xD cheers again mate.

    Hmm... now it doesnt seem to inviting hehe. Especially since I doubt my time on the game will extend far into the 2011 anyway. Might just stay put on Union, cheers bud =)

    =o Carni didn't know you had transfered, wondered where you disappeared to x] *waves*

    How much does it actually cost to get the US version etc.? I havn't looked into that yet...

    And if I get the US version I'll probably transfer my main over with all his inf and stuff =)

    Howdy people,

    To make a long story short, I play on the Union EU server and am fed up with it's lack of activity. It can be hard to get a TF together half of the time, not to mention the other events/special teams hiding away in my mind. So now I'm considering transfering over to the US servers and Virtue has been one of the servers I've heard about the most. I do have a few queries though:

    1. How is the Virtue playerbase when it comes to TFs and events? Would I be able to get decent turnouts on a regular basis? Regular meaning that I'm not looking at a 1 in every 4 TF that's arranged actually going ahead, as seems the case on Union at the moment.

    2. I'm no good at the whole time changes between EU and America but how busy would it the server be? It's 3:40 in the afternoon right now if that's any help in giving you an idea of when I'm on...

    They're my main worries about changing over, any helpers would be great, looking forward to maybe playing with you in the future .
  5. Mr_Wuffles
    So you are! Fixed =)

    I sent an ingame email about the team to one of the members and then realised they dont save sent emails in the game... so once that player comes on and forwards it back to me I'll send it on to the rest of you :P.
  6. Mr_Wuffles
    Okay we should have enough now, I'll get in touch with those who are game and sort out what time/day is best for everyone. Will update the thread when I sort out the day =)

    Oh and, if anyone else wants in throw your name out there. The more the merrier, perfectly happy to have two smaller teams going if we get more than 8 showing up on a particular day. And there'll usually be one or two who can't make it, so there'll deffinately be a spot for people!

    Hi all!

    Long story short, a new scrapper team is forming. The secondary power pool is up to you, all we want is for the primary to be spines. This would be a once a week regular team, a particular day to be decided when we get the eight people. Whether you already have a spines scrapper or want to make one from scratch, we'll be either exemping to the lowest level or sidekicking to the highest, so it's all good.

    If you would like to join, just post your global name and I'll add you to the list .

    Team

    */regen?

    POST-ACTION

    I've got the following level 50 scrappers:

    Kat/Regen
    MA/Regen
    Claws/Regen
    Broadsword/Regen
    Elec/Regen

    And a DM/Regen sitting at 46(near 47).

    From my many many MANY hours on regen, I'd recommend either claws, broadsword or katana. Broadsword and katana are probably the easiest to play from 1-50. Claws is very fast too (that's my main) and you tend to go through missions in a matter of minutes with the quick attacks.

    As for taking the Unique Costume pieces from the Signature Characters: No thank you.

    I like Statesman's Cape and Hero-1's cape is -fantastic-. Libby's belt is sweet and everything on Mirror Spirit is gorgeous. But they're signature pieces to make those heroes unique in all the world. Why? So that players cannot impersonate them completely.

    Mind you, I can make a really good Liberty or Psyche. I can even do a fairly decent Swan, if I've the mind to do so. But I can't perfectly emulate them. It's the idea that our heroes are unique. We aren't -really- as someone could make a costume identical to our own at any give n time. But with the number of costume pieces and people's varied tastes it's incredibly unlikely to happen.

    Making a perfect copy of Statesman on the other hand... Well among other things you've got the Grief issue. A player pretends to be Positron and goes out cursing, sending lewd tells, and performing other nasty and rude acts in his name. Now the Developer is likely going to get into a spot of trouble for this, whether he did it or not. And even if it comes out that he DIDN'T do it some portion of the playerbase that heard the first story by word of mouth without going to the forums and learning it was faked will, forever, believe that Positron cursed out some 6 year old girl and should be on the next "To Catch a Predator" Chris Hansen tosses out.

    So let's -Not- release all the unique NPC costume parts, HMmm?

    -Rachel-
    Said nothing about ALL the unique parts, just those capes =P

    It would hardly be much of a copy just to have the same type of cape, it's not like the costumes would look identicle :P

    Personally I find those NPCs aren't great enough to deserve their own unique cape style. Sure Statesman is the face of CoH, but I've always found him to be dull and not exactly a unique hero in any way. Same goes for Imperious, I've seen that guy get floored on an ITF more times than I can count! And the Honoree.... okay I'll give the devs that one, he's cool.

    I've said it a thousand times to anyone who'll listen and I'll say it again! The Honoree, Imperious and Statesman have FAR cooler capes than the ones we get! Why on earth can't we unlock their style of cape? It could be done as a mission at level 50, the sign of true awesomeness or whatever. But I DEMAND we get those capes accessible, they're just too cool to let go to waste!
  13. Mr_Wuffles
    That's perfect I can be on up until 10:30PM GMT on Sundays.
  14. Mr_Wuffles
    I'd be up for this, depends on day and time though. Best times for me would be the weekend.

    Sounds to me like you were using Instant Healing wrong. If you try to use it reactively like Reconstruction or Dull Pain when you're low on HP, well, if you're taking enough damage to get low on HP in the first place, you're going to die.

    It is best used before a fight that you know you're going to take a lot of damage in. With as much as it boosts your regen, chances are you won't even need Recon or DP. And as far as the duration, how long are you going to actually NEED 1600% regeneration for? 90 seconds is plenty for the vast majority of situations I've ever encountered.

    The only power I consider skippable in Regen is Revive. Resilience is an awesome place for a Steadfast Res/Def, and it's a great power to take at 49 because it doesn't need any slots at all.
    I second the dislike of said book.

    Instant Healing is an amazing power and like Claws said, if you use it before a fight it can do wonders. I tend to use Dull Pain and Instant Healing together before leaping into extra tough battles, using Reconstruction as the main heal with Moment of Glory there in case I get to red and all heals are down.

    Also, if you use Moment of Glory and then use Instant Healing you'll be at full health by the time MoG drops.

    It's an amazing power when used well (which realy isn't that hard to use if you use logic).

    Also the only regen power I think you should skip is revive. If you die then the trek back from the hospital should give you enough time to realise why you were poor enough to die

    I've never been into blasters much, furthest I've gotten was a 32 Fire/Energy. But the thought of a pure ranged blaster intrigues me. Did up a build on mids but dunno if it's good or not, any advice would be very welcome

    May I join you in a facepalming for me putting MoG so late? Dunno what the hell happened there xD

    Here's a revised build using both yours and mine, only problem I see would be the recovery/end drain but the regen and recharge are an improvement from your build with the defense relatively the same.

    EDIT: I left out the accolades simply because I forget to put them in all the time. But I will be getting all the +HP/+End ones :P

    It depends on how hard people say it hits... I recently got a BS/regen to 50 and I found that it hit quite hard, harder than my katana/claws/DM and MA scrappers. The recharge itself isn't too bad. But even so, more recharge never hurts!

    'Tis true though that it doesn't seem to be the most populary primary, I don't see many union players running around wielding a good 'ol BS. But I fail to see why, it's a very strong set and I find it very enjoyable

    Here's the build I used for my claws/regen. It's quite expensive though so it could take some time to get completed. I actually ended up replacing the purple sets but I can't remember what with... The hami enhances are also just icing on the cake really so I left them til last.

    Basically you can see what you might want to aim for in defense/regen/recharge.

    Where to begin... I'll post my claws/regen build in a few hours when I'm on at my computer (just on laptop atm) so you can see what you could aim for (I'm extremely pleased with my claws/regens performances. But here's a list of what I see straight away wrong in your build...

    1) You left out focus... Essential claws power, best attack really in the whole set!
    2) Revive... Not needed, with a proper build you'll rarely die.
    3) You're running a mere 3 troggles and have QR, stamina and PP. QR on it's own would be enough really. My claws/regen runs 7 toggles and only has QR, no end problems either!
    4) Conserve power isn't needed. Claws/regen is one of the most endurance friendly scrappers you can have.
    5)Laser beam eyes.... just no xD

    That's the very basic stuff I can point out (without going into poor slottings). Read on for more spots you didn't do well in!

    6) Slotting 2 purples in one power is useless. You only get .07 more recovery from them and that's pretty pathetic when you take into consideration how much it will cost you.
    7) Panacea... iirc that will cost you 2bil... 'nuff said methinks on that one.
    8)The +recharge IO in kick is a waste of money. You won't be using kick in your attack chain so the +recharge chance will never occur.
    9) Numina/Regenerative Tissue/Miracle uniques shouldn't be in dull pain, they belong in either health or fast healing. In DP they only occur when you use it, while in health or FH they are always in play.

    There are more but I'll leave it at that for now. Sorry if it seems like I'm being harsh but ya gotta learn the hard way I used to be awful at builds but now I'm decent, as long as it's /regen....

    For bonuses you should be aiming for good regen (600%+) and good positional defense (That's melee, ranged and AoE). Iirc my claws/regen has around 35% melee defense and 25% AoE/ranged. Next would come some recharge (anywhere from 40-80) and +HP.

    Like I said, I'll be at my computer in a few hours and will come back and post my build so you can compare the two. Feel free to PM me or send me a tell ingame (@Mr. Wuffles) for help regarding claws/regen

    Happy Scrapping!

    My regens run five minimum... Four if you disclude combat jumping since the end cost of that is laughable. My regens can go up to 7 toggles (6 discluding CJ once again) and maintain amazing endurance (without stamina). Neither should have endurance problems really.
