Nachtraserei

Hello forum goers! I need some help in sprucing up my Mind/Psy dominator.
My over all concept is pure lock-down, but I do want ample single target damage for solo work. A few AoE's would be nice for teaming.

My only request is Perma-Dom without Hasten. After playing around in Mid's for a bit, I had Domination down to a 91 second recharge.

Thank you for the quick reply's. I'll try all the suggestions, and I didn't realize it the no operation command was nop instead of null.

Once again thank you.

Greeting once again City of Heroes community!

After downloading and patching the client, I set up a subscription and started playing the game again.

I logged onto my Master Mind and with great glee discovered that the pet control binds I had made oh so many years ago still work. The same goes for my teleport bind.

I have decided to make my Spines/Dark Scrapper my main for the time being. I would like to start fresh with my key binds, but for some reason or another, I cannot remove the pet control or teleport binds.

To date, I have tried:

• Retyping the bind and setting it to null.
• Retyping the bind with a different power.
  • When I retype the bind with a different power, its like a random draw for which command gets executed.
• Resetting my key binds in the options window.
• and I have just recently tried to locate my actual bind file.
  • I was unable to find the file or folder in which the file should be located.

I have asked my local Liberty community, but no such solution could be found. I now come to the global community in hopes that there is someone out there that has experienced the same issue I have.

Please, I need help on resetting or removing all binds, be they custom made or built into the game.

Five issues and one expansion ago I stopped my IV drip of CoH to expand my gaming experiances. Suffice to say I have since returned having forgotten alot of the stories with renewed interest in my past main character, Mentalwarp. He is a mind/psy, and i am now happy to say, /psy dominator.

The many months of playing a different game has caused my own mind to become soft, and squishy, no longer sharp in the ways of sowing psychic terror within the Rogue Isle's.

To that extent, I am proud to say that I am man enough when I need a crash course on dominator build pertaining to the Mind/Psy/Psy set-up mentioned above.

I'm looking for two distinct builds: A solo'ing Mac truck, capable of locking down my -1/+4-5, somewhat large for a returning newb, groups of enemies.
And a second build to maximize AE control with AE damage. I do remember that the CoH community is great, and I appriciate any pointers you can give!

Thanks in advanced,
Mentalwarp

P.S.
Don't put the fitness powers in the builds. Thanks!

Hey all, I'm looking to make a new villain, other than my SS/Shield brute and fire/earth dom, and have decided on a weapon user, which is something I usually don't do. I have chosen to go the Archery/TA route and would like to know if their is any build out there that has soft capped defense to ranged and AoE.


Powers I want:

1. Snap Shot
2. Aimed Shot
3. Fistful of Arrows
4. Rain of Arrows
5. Disruptor Arrow
6. Posion Gas Arrow
7. Toxic Arrow
8. Glue Arrow

I would like to stick with the following pools:

1. Fitness
2. Medicine
3. Teleport
4. Leaping, for Combat Jumping

My current server is Liberty and despite the new SSK feature, teams are still tough to find, so I have adapted my play stayle to solo'ing at -1/+3-4 during the 10-35 range, then -1/+4-5 for the rest of the game. I only ask for soft capped defense just for fun.

Issue 16 has come to a live server near you and me. With that in mind I have decided to make a new brute. The details are as follows:

Server: Virtue
Faction: Villains
Archetype: Brute
Primary: Super Strength
Secondary: Shield Defense
Name: Rularuu's Rage
Biography: <blank>

Now all may seem fine and dandy, but I have hit a wall. I would like to create the back story for this characte; but I know very little about the Shadow Shard and Rularuu. I have been to Paragonwiki to read all I can on Rularuu and his aspects, as well as the Shadow Shard itself. I have also read that fantastic guide on Rularuu. It's all very interesting stuff, but I still have a few questions that I would like answered, and that is why I have come to you folks.

1. Where did Rularuu originally come from?
2. Why did he come to Earth?
3. What was Rularuu doing in Paragon in the '60s?
4. Was the Shadow Shard always in existance, or when the Midnighter's trapped Rularuu, did they actually make the pocket dimension from scratch?

If these answers are not know, is there a good chance that Manticore (the Dev) might be able to elaborate if I send a private message?

As always, I do appreciate the help this community at large gives to one another.

Well, I just got a brillient idea to check the guide to guides, and sure enough I found the guide I was looking form. Please move along, nothing to see but a young impatient player.

I was reading a thread in the stalker forums just a moment ago and was thinking about issue 16 when I came acroos a rather interesting piece of data that I had long since forgotten. Stalkers have a base 10% chance to crit, going up to ~30% chance to crit on 8 member teams.

With the new changes to the difficulty setting, would it seem justifiable to allow stalkers to maybe gain a bonuse chance to crit up to 20-22% for the settings that allow them to choose what team size the equal?

I don't mean to cry buff stalker, it is just a honest question I have and would like a reasonable answer. Humor is recomended...

Hi there! I don't freaquent these parts to often. Tonight though, I have an odd issue, no idea how it was created, but I seem to have gotten an entire clue + picture in my chat window. It is from the first mission H.T. gives in the villains tutorial. Any idea as to why this happened? Is it impending doom that my client will crash soon? <edit> I can see the furture! Someone, quick, tell Recluse! My client crashed as I was busy remaking him into something more suitible to my playstyle.

Okay, here are my first screenshots after i13 release.

First, a Christmas tree for the Holiday room I'm making:

There are new Aura ‘combinations’ that are now available which combine Auras on different parts of the body simultaneously.

Say what.

Does this mean my Cinderfrost deamon can have a fiery and a vaporous(sp?) aura, like frostfire?

Now that the Ghost Sibyl is a contact, who's hotter; Ghost Widow or Ghost Sibyl?

I think this is the most important question I can think of from this article...

As for the invasions times, they are really wierd. i was watching the zone events tab on villains, and GV got pegged 2 times in a row, before the first one ended. This was on Freedom.

[/ QUOTE ]

Were there 2 instances of Grandville when that happened (since it's Freedom, during a holiday event, it's probably safe to assume that this was the case)? If so, one of the invasions hit one of those instances and the other you saw hit the other instance. There was a post somewhere around here with someone commenting that they went to one instance of PI on a server when a zombie invasion was taking place "in PI." They were surprised to find that both instances of PI weren't being invaded, but they shouldn't have been. The game sees those instances as separate zones, so the invasions will treat them that way as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

That could have been it, I wasn't really paying attention, mostly hanging in Cap so I didn't notice if GV had more than one instance.

I love the zombie invasions, but like other people, I too wish they had a reason to be happening. Saying they are just mad and it happens to be Halloween doesn't cut it for me.

So... A new idea since we don't get many tier 3 drops for treats now, how about a thanksgiving event that spawns a Giant turkey monster? When defeated, it grants 3 Teir 3 inspirations. Have characters be limited to receiving the reward 10 times though. It can be justified fairly simple too. NCNC resides in U.S.A. Thanksgiving is a U.S.A. holiday. Also, we all know BaBs has a seagull character with animations, he could modify that to look like a giant turkey.

A brand new computer... Huh, well what do you know, I'm in the market for a free computer. I got 16 days to make the best character I have ever made... Dang, I wish I didn't have a creativity block right now.

Personally, I'm glad this was posted.

It beats reading all those "OMG!!! They nerfed my powerset!!!! I am SO gonna make 50 posts to complain about it!" kind of posts.

[*] Arachnos Widow / Widow Training / Strike: Corrected Widow Strike power. It was separating damage into 2 packets, instead of a single packet of damage.

[/ QUOTE ]

what??? does that mean only lethal damage and no toxic DOT??

[/ QUOTE ]

No, it means it now does two ticks of dmg, on par with the 1-2 jab animation thats is strike. I think, I don't have access to Veats, so I'm not sure if it's that animation.

Whacking Positron with Synapse would be the perfect crime; two people dead, no murder weapon.

Of course, crack Posi's armor, and there won't be much for forensics to do anywhere near the site.

As of I9, positron can control his powers. The TF contact now shows his shiney, bald head.

I want to set up something horrible, stop the war between the Rularuu and the Knives of Artemis; because I think that mission would be pure hell for just about every archtype.

[/ QUOTE ]

I would love to get in on that mission!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed, I think half the funs going to be trying to come up with the biggest PITA mission for your team .

I'm thinking of a joint Malta/Carnie one for starters .

[/ QUOTE ]

Sappers, Sorcerors and Succubi, oh my!

[/ QUOTE ]

Nonononononononono... it's:

Sappers, Dark Ring Mistresses and Nightwidows, oh my!

[/ QUOTE ]

No, it's Sappers, Vanguard: Sword, and Dark Ring Mistresses.

Three words: Hallways of XP.

The new way to farm- load S/L only foes, no bosses, and lots of straight hallways of mobs.

That's my one and only concern about this issue (which, on balance, I am incredibly psyched up for, more so than any in recent memory). With Vanguard Merits... ok, fine, I can't really join Vanguard until I'm 35 anyway, and even then I'm not "accepted" right away, so not being able to get the costume parts until much later makes some sense.

But with these -- if they're only unlockable per-character via the 35+ missions (the ones that take you to Rome), then what you're saying is that if I want to make a Roman-themed character, I need to play him for 35 levels (about half of his pre-50 life, elapsed-time-wise?) with a costume that's not thematically appropriate to him. And that's a big, big deterrent to me. If they must be unlocked via a Merit system, at least let us transfer those Merits from one character to another so that our characters can look the part from day one.

for concept...you can wear the togas or what ever until you become a soldier and dawn the armor.

Great, now we get to have houses... I call the Pi house!!!!

If you are still taking requests, would you care to take a shot at Nachtraserei?

Also, if any other artisits would like to draw up a quick and nifty Avatar, I'd really appreciate it... Unfortunetly, I would not be able to pay for your services, and I don't like the feeling that gives me... But I don't like not having a cool avatar... And, for what little I know about art, I like your first sketch... Snakebites... Very simple looking.

... So, not to hijack this post or anything, but how would one going about asking for someone to perhaps draw one of those really cool, custom made avatars I see every where? I don't want to ask for one for free, because I don't like doing that, but on the other hand, I don't want to have to pay for a picture... Unless... Hmmm... Chirstmas is around the corner and I havn't told anyone what I want yet... Well, so how would I go about that?

I noticed under prizes that the the grandprize winner, and the 3 catagory winners each recieve a GvE edition of City of Heroes... Now what if they already have both city of heroes and villains? And when you need the game to enter the contest, it seems kind of redundant to have a prize be the game itself... Now I know some still only play heroes, or only villains, but it seems the majority have purchased the GvE upgrade, and all the new players can only purchase the GvE pack in stores now... So, why is the game a part of the prize?
