Nine_Claws

My Brute has Mace Mastery. I took Web Envelope, Disruptor Blast and Summon Blaster. All 3 are still in my build, but only because I wanted the pet.

WE is good for holding foes (but not very important for a melee AT). Long redraw and recharge times though!

DB has good targeted dmg (but needs to be 3 or 4 slotted as a minimum). Definitely needs to have at least 1 acc IO in it. But has long redraw and recharge issues like WE.

SB is good for standard mobs, but they get killed quite quickly against EB/AVs.

Mace should work well with SoA spiders, but redraw may put you off.
If I could change my patron, I would in the blinking of an eye.

Haven't run naked down the street smeared in lime jelly.

[/ QUOTE ]Is that the last one you need, for the Jelly running Commander badge??

Just remembered a few more :-

Never had a second a/c
Never deleted a lvl 50 (and never will)
Never levelled a troller past lvl 25 (highest is lvl 24 at the mo)
Never played any other MMORPG since starting CoX (3 yrs+)
Infact never ever played any other MMORPG (fullstop)
Never joined FFM on a naked jelly run

Interesting Dings Night!
Does that mean you were leaching on one of your 50's???

Mine are not as interesting sadly :-

1. NC - Nov '06 - Can't remember how though!
2. Phlox - Soloing a malta mission, Dinged off a Zeus Titan!
3. UL - Last Month, Praetorian AV with friends!!

Yeah, it's just a slight glitch since they introduced the blank days offline for 1 day offline. If you're quick enough you get to see it.

[/ QUOTE ]See this message alot after logging back in, when the game has frozen on me. Normally 5-7 times a week!!!

1)Been like that since it was implemented sadly, a patch or two ago they fixed some holes and that reduced some of the lag but even then I find that mission to be pretty damn horrible due to it.

[/ QUOTE ]The only part of this mission that generally laggs, is the hill. From the beach (after the bridge), where there are plenty of generals/minotaurs/cyclopses gathered, then all the way to the construction site. This is now affectionately know as "Lagg Hill"

[ QUOTE ]
Seen any of the villain GMs (bar the Scrapyard Ghost).

[/ QUOTE ]Surprised that you've never run into Deathsurge, he's always loitering in Cap-au-Diable, by the WSDR building. Often there were 2 of him aswell, before the i12 fix, anyhow.

Well done mate.
Now all you have to do is get 5 stalkers, to match your hero achievement.

Also why can't I slot Mallaise' Illusions: Acc/-end cost lv 22 @ lvl 23 into an attack? All slots go dim when I select the enhancement.

[/ QUOTE ]Because it only goes into Confuse powers. You can see which IO sets each power accepts by holding the cursor over a power on the Enhancement screen.

[/ QUOTE ]As with all enhancements, ones that are not accepted in powers, always grey out.

For example. A power that only accepts defence sets/enhancements, will not take achilles heel as it is a defence debuff.

[ QUOTE ]
hehe,

the ghosting was fun everytime I got to the last room they were already aggroed & I never stood a change. In 1 of them I had 5 mobs attack me

[/ QUOTE ]Was funny at the end, when I ran to Hopkins with Hyper Stealth + Steath IO Set Bonus, and saw that there were 4-5 mobs near him. I then retreated to a safe place, where rest of team could be teleported too and waited for you to get here, only to see Clawd leap pass me into the mass group of 50-60 crey, and see his health bar plummet followed by a nice grey skull appear

P.S. What do I need to amend to take screenshots, that include chat box, nav box, power trays etc....

[/ QUOTE ]

Bind those:
sysrq "screenshotui 0$$screenshot"
shift+sysrq "screenshotui 1$$screenshot"

That way, every time you click shift with print screen, will include the User Interface

[/ QUOTE ]Thanks

[ QUOTE ]
Heya,
Can you let us know where you saw this, and what was going on at the time?

[/ QUOTE ]Saw a P-string yesterday, between 6:15 and 6:25pm BST on Union Villains. I was just about to take a named boss (Three Bind - Snake IIRC) down, in an instanced paper mish... when I saw the P string. As mentioned above, believe it was in the hero event message colour. Can't remember the exact P number though!

P.S. What do I need to amend to take screenshots, that include chat box, nav box, power trays etc....

[ QUOTE ]
Make damage break Crowd Control abilities (mezz, hold, sleep etc). Being able to just CC someone/something constantly while also doing damage to them makes you literally invincible.

This is overpowered and no longer relevant to the games of today.

[/ QUOTE ]Bad idea. What's next, an Empath Fender/Troller that cannot heal, or remove taunt from all Tanker Powers.

If you don't like mez, just fight Trolls only. Or in PvP, don't pick duels with Trollers/Doms.

You sir, get the prize for the worst suggestion for 2008.

Not done MoLRSF
Not powerleveled a character to lvl 50
Infact never PL'd at all
Haven't Farmed missions in a team
Not completed any Ouroboros mini TFs on my lvl 50 scrapper or tank (Nosferatu I hate you)
Still Haven't got 500 badges on my main hero (only 12 away though)
Haven't played my scrapper without Integration, since I got that power (eons ago), even for restrained badges!!
Haven't succombed to a 2nd a/c (and thankfully don't have too now)
I haven't deleted a lvl 50 character
I haven't deleted over 50 characters
I haven't played on Vigilance
I haven't played an EAT above lvl 17, hope to change that with my spider (lvl 13 at the moment)
Not attempted New Hami, only attempted Old Hami once.
Never done the CoP, and no doubt never will
Never done a base raid
Never obtained an item of power
Not completed a build that I'm 100% happy with (or fully IO'd it)

should I stop now...!

[ QUOTE ]
paragonwiki says that it has only ever been sucsessfully completed on the usa servers taintedgreek thats PARAGONWIKI

[/ QUOTE ]Don't believe everything you read. Paragonwiki says that maximum no. of days for SG leader auto-demotion is 45, when mine is currently set to 90.

Depending when it was to take place, I could also bring my SS/NRG Brute. So 50 Brutes taking on Hami, could be fun, but very short

Actually saw this myself yesterday. Was taking down some snakes in a cave mish... .
The boss had a correct name, but his minion had a P number. Not seen that for a long time.

Was fun, even the chaotic suicide (ghosting) runs!
And I even finally managed to get a decent recipe (for resale), LotG End/Rech, currently selling for 1-1.5m.

Thanks for organising this X.

Russian Rocket - Superspeed Technology Fire/Fire Blaster
Grave Mistake - Necro/Dark MM
Metal Carnage - Bots/*** MM
Straight Jacket - Psi/Mental Blaster
Brick Outhouse - Stone/*** Tank/Brute

Yep agree. A sonic bubbler is ideal for this task. A /rad greatly helps too, not too mention a good taunting tank. But as Xemulas siad, surprised that you didn't complete it.

The tank, troller and empath should have been able to handle LR easily. And the scrappers should have taken no time at all to demolish those towers.

TAB, CTRL+TAB, SHIFT+TAB

[/ QUOTE ]Full sentences are so much clearer, specially when talking to someone who has just come back to Citys after 3 years..... your brief input was as useless as it was short.

[/ QUOTE ]Made perfect sense to me though...! However, Blue Rabbit could have specified that these were targeting commands. And you can target by nearest, next, previous and farthest away.

It would be nice though to be able to target strongest or weakest enemies, in nearest proximity to you.

[ QUOTE ]
During this, time our team leader had an unfortunate power outage and the team leader star transferred to the next player, our absent, and very "Distracted" friend who was AFK. As a result we had to abandon the TF as we couldn't get the team leader shifted to another player.

[/ QUOTE ]To get around the AFK team leader option, I would suggest the following.

1) The AFK leader is still in the mission (after completion) and everyone else is outside. If they do not exit the mission within 5 minutes of the completion, then the star should be automatically passed to the next player in the team list.

2) AFK Leader not in mission. The leader should be subject to standard rules, if they grey out (AFK) for 5 minutes or more, then they should be automatically disconnected from the server. This would then make the team 1 player lighter, but star would pass onto next active player. The AFK player then can log back in and still be part of the original TF.

If the same person is continually AFK when logged in, then it's up to the leader (and the team) whether they kick them or not. This ultimately stops the hassle.

Some people go AFK for good reasons, but not everyone is polite enough to say it. You'd feel pretty lousy blaming someone for making the TF split up, if they couldn't do anything to prevent it. eg. An Epileptic Fit, a Heart Attack, Knocking Themselves Unconscious, Falling down the stairs etc...
