Mine is level 13 atm...I find it interesting that some of you took a travel power. Since Kinetics come with Inertial Reduction, I'm just waiting until level 18 to get that, and slot it with jump enhancers.

This lets me have 2 extra slots along to way to play with new power choices.

Your guide is fantastic, but we do things slightly differently on Champion...where you mention putting the raid lead on follow I believe, we mostly get a bubbler and put her on follow, and add the targeter to server friends and click through his targets.

We have a good healing blanket going most of the time and Kins spamming IR so teh Mitos tend to fall fairly quickly, generally we go into a wedge pattern for clearing starting with the Greens then moving on.

I've also never seen Jack Frosts at a raid, we mostly use Sinularities and Dark Servants, but that is an interesting addition to be sure.

For the rest, agreed and it's good to see Hami is getting his on other servers.

But FC's and all that aside, the problem is PvP debt. TPing foes is not the only way it happens... The few times I've PvP'd I've gotten debt... not once from TP foe. Usually I happened to be fighting a mob and a Stalker would come up behind me and do enough damage not to kill me, but the next NPC hit did it (which will almost be a constant frustration for Stalkers who want bounty points, and their prey who get debt, when they bring in the "no one shot kill" rule- but will be a vast source of glee to those that want to "grief" and cause debt)... or in the din of battle with a worthy meal (sorry.. opponent)...

Yes this has happened to me! Someone was under Fight Club at full health and in a mob, I queued up Assassin's Blade to kill them, whiffed (!) did a follow up with Build Up and Soaring Dragon which left them at very low health, went for the finisher but the Arachnos there finished her and she got debt .

She was understandably upset; I told her she was on the other side and I wanted to kill her, not give her debt and then offered to PL her out of her debt. This mollified the situation somewhat.

I love the fact there are Arachnos and Longbow mobs fighting for control of the Siren's Call zone, it does add a new dynamic.

The Devs could also solve the entire problem with some sore of algorithm about damage taken. If a majority of damage was taken by another player and you got killled by a mob, no debt. If the mob did most of the damage then you get debt...of course this doesn't take into account the massive damage over time from some mobs and so on, and isn't a perfect solution obviously.

I'm hoping Recluse's Victory is a little better than SIren's Call.

Just to make things clear here -

If someone attacks you in a PvP zone and you are having an RP event (like FC) that is NOT harassment.

If you are in a PvP zone you can attack another player repeatedly.

However - you cannot trash talk someone using vulgar words, racial slurs, sexual slurs or other UA violating actions. That IS harassment and can be actioned against by the GMs.

You could also be actioned for exploiting in a PvP zone - for example - by hanging out as a villain in a hero hospital to gank heroes as they respawn. This is not as designed and may be actioned.

Well I guess i've been told.

Obviously Red names make the rules not I.

Therefor official ruling "Not harassment"

However, I think this is entirely garbage. and it clearly a contridiction to the NC Soft rules and regs.

Note that she said nothing about giving debt.

Perhaps the Devs think it's okay to give debt? To my knowledge it is not.

Since CK has given me debt repeatedly, I really have little time for him and will avoid him whenever possible.

Very nice!

Can we get one about the Devouring Earth and Hamidon someday? I'd love to find out when those mushrooms started taking steroids.



Are the villain backgrounders archived somewhere?

Great thread idea!

I am trying to collect the "Siren's Song" badge for my 50...I've been in Siren's for well over 5 hours...mostly in the hospital camping and dancing.

Is there a way to track progress for this? Do you have to be active in the area?

You guys all make excellent points.

Right now I am loving Defiance, but my Blaster (the only one I have ever built) is level 8...Ice/Nrg so the Defiance means I usually finish mission a LOT faster than I normally should.

That said, I think the Corruptors got what we should have, the ability to nail down injured foes.

Also, I don't think I've ever ever eaten pavement as much with a toon a I have with a Blaster...

has anyone reported re-getting the temp summon? (i.e. use it and get it again, or even get extra charges)

[/ QUOTE ]

No but funny thing happened to me.

My 50 on Champion got the Snow Beast summon.
After the servers had an emergency restart, she had Amy Jonsson instead!

So I went from a limited use SNow Beast to a Witch that will heal me and buff me, 5-times use.

Web Chambers 50 Kata/SR SCrapper
Light Blue 50 Emp/Dark Defender
Neuronia 50 Mind/Force Field Bubbler
It 50 Fire/Fire Tanker

This is quite useful but the crux is recharge times and speeding them up...that's the crack cocain so many of us are on, so to speak.



Thanks for the gift though Posi.

P.S. I loathe the Positron TF, it's soooooooooooo long for the first TF in the game...especially when you exemp down from level 40...

Well thank you for the very informative post.

As for CoV, I will be passing. I am mostly interested in Issue 5 going live, and I have too many ideas still to put into effect in CoH...

The problem with CoV is...if I play CoV...I'm not playing CoH.
