I slapped Brass Monday up on Youtube. Feel free to check it out.

I've noticed this too. Every time I show up in PD with one of my 50's the place is empty. I've yet to run the Underground trial.

When you see it, you'll squit bricks.

Aaaah, Titan Weapons...

Give me a ruddy great big axe with blades the size of dinner tables and I'll be happy.
Give me a warhammer the size of a small car and I'll be even happier.

I'll be rerolling toons in their 30's for this.

/signed.

Quite frankly I've never been a fan of per character costume unlocks. The Roman gear in particular I feel requires a global unlock. I don't mind shelling out a few PP for it.

Hmm, redraw as a part of the set balance was something I was unaware of. Y'learn something new everyday.

I was about to suggest that the acc bonus be suppressed when toggled, however I have a feeling there is more than just that when compensating for redraw.

Redraw is a constant thorn in the side of anyone who plays weapon sets, be they melee or ranged. It hurts dps and looks odd having to redraw your weapon every spawn or so (Though Dual Pistols isn't quite so bad IMO). So, I'm pitching an idea that might help alleviate this issue.

The Weapon Toggle; put simply a toggle added to each weapon set that when activated draws your weapon and keeps it out permanently, even through animations that would usually holster/sheath it again (Sands of Mu). Should you wish not to have your weapon out all the time then you simply detoggle and weapons behave as they do currently.

Now there are some animations which would clip badly, such as stabbing yourself through the head or some such, in which case the weapon could simply switch to its 'invisible' frame and then revert instantaneously once the animation is over.

A perfect solution? Probably not, but it gives players an option.

Good advice, and some that even a few veteran players ought to take heed of.

Supergroup Interviews: Episode 3: Val Halen is finally up. Better late than never.

Here's another one.



Also, to those who've pm'd me about customising their login, due to the sheer number of requests I'll be composing a cut n' paste response with the relevant info.

I'll be honest, I quite like the original MK movie. Was it a great film? Of course not. But wasn't a truly bad one either. It's still the most faithful adaptation of a video game franchise to make it to the big screen.

That sequel however... /em shudder.

I'm not predicting a disaster with the reboot. Though I'm not expecting a masterpiece. Just so long as Michael Bay isn't involved and Erhen Kruger goes nowhere near the script, I'll think we'll get something halfway entertaining.

At this stage I'd recommend getting the Hero merit. They'll give you the most bang for your buck as they can be used to nab some of the more sought after recipes. The Signature Story arc is by far the quickest way of attaining one.
Once you're 50 however, the incarnate stuff might be more beneficial, but Hero/Villain merits are still good value.

Whilst I currently have freespecs and vetspecs coming out of my ears, I tend to treat them with a degree of value. I tend not to respec my toons until they're 50 or in the high 40s.

The answer is not to stop playing, but rather play more. Get a feel for the archetypes and their basic power types, get an idea of how to slot each basic type of power in order to produce a functional build. To clarify, if you play melee toons then your basic three single target attacks will likely be 6 slotted with 2 acc, 2 dam, 1 rech and 1 end. Your basic armour toggles may be 5 slotted with 2 end and 3 res or def. Start with TOs/DO/SOs until you hit 50. You can find plenty of guides detailing all the powersets and their optimal slotting right here on the forums, they're are probably the best place to start.

I tend to get an idea of where I'd like my focus to be as I level up. In which case I use Mids to plan your build accordingly. Once I'm happy with the numbers and my toon is at or near 50 only then do I respec. I fill it back out with my left over SOs and work towards acquiring the IOs I need. Sometimes the resultant 'empty' build can be more or less effective than the functional leveling build, but once I start slotting those IOs it gets better and better.

I made this one a while ago (I18 I think). More appropriate cossie pieces have come out since.



EDIT: Oh yeah, and Beast Wars was awesome.

Humanity can produce true heroes, but we often forget that it produces truly despicable villains too. I hope Gary the Thief is robbed of his liberty.

A number* of you may have been wondering where I've been these last few weeks as my activity on these forums and in game has decreased dramatically. I feel I ought to update you.

I recently acquired a new job which in addition to providing me with dosh, also eats a lot of my time. Also, my internet connection has been so poor as of late that it was unable to sustain enough bandwidth to play CoH. That too has been resolved and I'm now the proud recipient of fiberoptic broadband.

For those among you wondering when the next track of the CoH Score is coming, I will be working on something new but cannot say for sure when it'll be.

CoH Freedom is just around the corner, and with my new connection I shall be right in there for the VIP head start. I'll see you in Paragon/Praetoria/the Rogue Isles my good chums.

* number may actually be zero.

Firstly: oooooOOOOOOooooo. Colour me intrigued.

Secondly:

I can't decide whether to laugh or facepalm. It's as funny as it is feeble.
