Murphy_NA

Here's my new character in City of Heroes. Pictures to come soon.

If interested, see the story of the superhero Synapse and how he also escaped Bein's laboratory here: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Synapse#History

Keith Murphy was a software engineer who worked for Crey Industries. Keith has a unique gift; he is a low level telepath and technopath. These powers allow him to both communicate with his mind to other people and also to machines. His powers however, are extremely weak, he is only capable of reading people’s feelings and having an intuitive sense of how computers work.

One night while walking home from work, Keith was grabbed from behind and thrown in the back of a van. He was tied up and taken to the secret underground lab of Dr. Rudy Bein. For years, Crey Industries was trying to unlock the mystery of how to replicate mental powers with technology. Keith’s gifts may be weak but it was very rare for one person to be both a technopath and a telepath, so he was a prime candidate to be experimented on. Keith was an unwilling test subject in many painful DNA and tissue alteration tests. He was kept hostage and it wasn’t until the rescue of Steven Berry (Synapse) by Ray Keyes (Positron) did Keith escape from Bein’s laboratory. As he left he stole many of the devices he helped create, and uses them to fight against all villains and especially the Crey.

Keith, who now fights crime as Murf, has many devices that will not function on without unlocking them with a simultaneous technopathic and telepathic command. These devices include a gun that emits a powerful psychic beam of energy, various psychic energy turrets and even bombs that spray psychic energy in all directions.

Murf - Level 10 Corruptor on Virtue
Beam/Traps/Ninja Run

Powers:
- Telepathic Beam Gun
- Telekinetic Suit, allowing fast movement and high leaping.
- Telekinetic coil grenade
- Telekinetically created Caltrops
- Turrets that shoot shells charged with telekinetic energy.
- Taser
- Nemesis Staff
- Blackwand
- Crey Utility Backpack
- Backpack - Jet-pack add-on
- Backpack - Item teleportation (So Murf can access large items without carrying them)

Awesome time, wish more of you could have gone!

Is there any major differences between the servers? Would the population say, "Server A is typically where X people go?"

Any Victory players going to PAX-East this year?

I'll be at PAX. If anyone wants to meet up give a shout.

Thanks for the link!

To all the Galaxy Rangers, Xen of Onslaught and whoever else. Glad to be back and looking forward to play with you all again.

Running up a Rad/Mental Blaster. Currently Lvl 21.

That's NcSoft's version of a Rick-Roll.

Leaders: @Murphy, @Vos

<ul type="square">What we are: [*]Adults: (Most are from 21-40 years young)[*]Casual PVPers[*]Nightly Players[*]Dirty humored folks[*]AFKing now and again for real live occurrences.[*]Frequent swearers.[*]Players with different levels of experience (some since beta, some less than a month)[/list]
Generally we are hardcore-ish players that have hardcore real lives too. So expect us on nightly, but also expect us not to get mad if the kids start crying and you have to AFK.

<ul type="square">What we are not:[*]Powerlevelers (we may bridge our last levels, but we won't be PLing your bot)[*]Thin skinned.[*]Hardcore PVPers[*]l33t talkers!!!111one[/list]
Basically, any behavior that annoys the masses will get you kicked.

We have people playing with their boy/girlfriend, wife/husband, brothers/sisters and we're very much a big rowdy rude family. Some are seasoned COH veterans, others haven't been on a week. We welcome all, and if you think you fit the mold, give us a try.


Here's some pictures of our base..

Correct. I still could but the less stuff I have on my PC the better my chances of not getting fired.

Ok, I'll try every hour or so, chat you up soon.

Is the IRC Channel down?

Looking for an artist that can help me with making a Christmas present for my girlfriend. I'm looking to have a picture made, sizewise from 8 x 11 or bigger, of 6-8 characters. 2 characters will be our main heroes, 2 our main villains, 2 will be our real life selves in normal clothing, and possible 2 others of our real life selves as well. I'm willing to pay but will be looking for the best artist at the cheapest price. Anyone interested please email me at klmurphy311@hotmail.com.

Thank you!

Sorry I posted this in the wronge section!

I've gone 10 pages back in the blaster forum, and have seen a bunch of posts concerning the 2ndaries for blasters. It seems most people take energy, and noone takes Ice or Fire for PVP.

Can anyone give some advice concerning the pros and cons of each 2ndary?

Can you use aid self while phase shifted?

Super, Ancestor Spirits and Sorcerors seem to be bugged. I did Verandi's arc and everytime a sorc or spirit spawned, they were level 29 in a level 34 mission.

[/ QUOTE ]

Me too. Later on I got some lvl 29 sorcs and some lvl 36 sorcs in a 36 mission!

It bugs me that the trial to fix a flawed character is so hard. I mean you're already at a disadvantage by having a problem with your character, does the trial have to be so brutal?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not hard if you have a team that works together well. If you're on triumph and need some help look me up.

I didn't think kill-X kills counted unless the SF leader was in the zone with you. Is that wrong?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm happy to report you are wrong! That's why I put that trick in the Guide

Good luck!

Agreed, the vines didn't bother us much. The spamming of heals ("I'M GOING HAMI RAID!" (tm - Murf)) protects against the COT just fine... they couldn't do enough damage to drop any of us.

Haha just someone with group heal and someone ready to shoot it off the 2nd anyone gets hit.

As far as convincing... well tell them that if they don't you'll stop punching the AV in the neck?

Have you ever considered that the "healers" might not need you to be punching the AV in the neck? I mean, my defender solos AVs just fine. It takes a while, but it gets done.

Maybe if you had a Dark Miasma corruptor debuffing the AV you wouldn't need heals at all, what with them preventing 99.5% of the damage from happening in the first place. That same corruptor could then blast away since he/she/it doesn't have to spend so much time healing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure man, with so many powers in the game I'm sure there's more than 1 way to do almost any difficult encounter. However the group I assembled work with great ease. If you find a group that completed this SF easily, why not post it?

God guide overall. I'm sure more strategies will come along from other teams but this is a great intro to the trial.

Changed the wording a bit... would still suggest 2 spam healers though. Just makes for and easy fight.
