    NW or Bane?

    POST-ACTION

    well im going by a build that mac, i think, made a while back with afew tweaks to cap percep. which isn't horribly expensive but more than I have.

    NW or Bane?

    POST-ACTION

    well i've actually already got a bane at 50 but unslotted and am playing the NW up right now. I'm more or less broke redside though so this is essentially when i can switch them over to pimp slot them.

    NW or Bane?

    POST-ACTION

    Been trying to decide which to make since both do fairly well in PvE but was wondering the difference since i've seen more bane than NW/forts in zones (although that isn't really saying much since i haven't seen many banes). so im wondering if one fairs better than the other, or if it matters since both get shatter.

I know I do.

    A little respect for a fellow human being isn't so much to ask, is it?
    it wasn't a mistake though, it was on purpose. and we've been waiting on a fix for close to 2 weeks now. (and still going since i haven't seen a patch yet).

    Oh, PvP could use some luvin' too. I hear Psi for blasters casting and recharge times are a bit unorthodox in comparison to their damage output.
    doesn't matter, flurry and jump kick do more damage that most of the set anyway.

    It's fixed. Whoops, fix is too powerful. RAGE AT DEVELOPER

    Developer tweaks fix to make it more reasonable. COMPLAIN THAT DEVELOPER BROKE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE SO WE SHOULDN'T THANK HIM FOR FIXING IT!

    ==============

    To Castle and all the developers on CoH, thank you for making a game I enjoy so much and don't let the negative people ever get you down
    and in all fairness, the original "problem" wasn't a problem at all. the mito's being perma held doesn't really effect the difficulty of the tf. I think what pissed alot of people off was, again, the lack of common sense, shown by the lead powers guy no less, it takes to put anything with mag 50 hold prot into an 8 man tf. it was the dev's fault, they fixed it, no harm no foul.

    EDIT: also, with the exception of this and the AoE capp nerf which was originally much lower in beta, people generally thank the devs no matter what they do. even the botz nerf from what i remember people were thanking them. I don't think its unfair to call them on a change that is complete crap.

    And besides... WHY can a TF continue when you FAIL 2 missions??? Huh? That's never made any since to me. And for full rewards too. That's just stupid. IMO of course.
    no one lets them die, they fight back

    ranged defense, kite like hell, do some quick ST damage to whatever needs to be killed and cancel jump TF.
    but yea, its kinda hard to say anything without seeing a build.

    I think the big thing is the lack of common sense behind the change. as previously stated, if you have any basic understand of game mechanics, you would know that 50 mag hold prot *and* 50 mag res is crazy for an 8 man team. castle just arbitrarily just made this change without either A) testing this first or B) not listening to the people who had tested this and said it was crap in the first place. well all that and the fact that a TF, that was quite fun, is now undoable and we have no time table of when it will be doable again, which wasn't helped by castles tone, what i read as apathetically saying "meh i'll get around to it later when i have nothing better to do", in the supposed i'll fix it post.

    Seriously, if the TF is too easy, then relook at the rewards. People do this TF over and over because it is FUN. Because it is co-op, high level, and just plain fun. WHY screw with that?

    I seriously hope this is reconsidered. Until then, I will miss the LGTF, but will consider it offline until it is do-able by a normal team again.
    don't even do that. the original version of the TF was, in no way, exploitable or broken to provoke such a hard nerf, I and i think im safe in saying all of the player base, thought the TF was perfectly challenging and fine as is(er was). the rewards don't need to be changed and if the devs want the difficulty to be adjusted then A) this is not the way to do it and B) increase the merits for the harder task.

    why was it fixed in the first place? even if they did have negative holds, it wasn't tf breaking or exploitable.

    freedom pvp is basically 24/7. id say virtue is probably just as good for most casual pvpers(if they exist anymore) because its not as srs bsnz as freedom is, but thats just from my experience from free server transfers, so take that for what it's worth.

    I wouldn't build cold as a buff bot since your shields will get DR'd to s**t. I would use /cold and /heat (again, therm?) as disruption/sapp. However, id probably switch the two(in fact i did) by which i mean make a cold/ for pve fun and a /therm for pvp.

    Sure, not every player will agree or disagree about that particular power but to state " frostworks sucks" as a fact just because you think so is plain silly.

    I loved teaming with /cold corrs when I ran my veats. I bet you can't even guess why..lol.
    turbo pretty much proved that frostwork has the least effect out of the other 8 powers. yea it has some situational uses, but so do most of the other powers that are pretty widely agreed upon to suck. short of a defebcer build and an IO mule, I never recommend it. for pvp, you should already be slotting for HP anyway, especially when cold primarily is disruption set.

    But what exactly is it that makes them the bad guy?

    As a follow up to the definition of a hero questions, this time I'd like to know what makes your villains "evil"? And to further the thought, what really is "evil"? Sometimes, the answer is not always so black and white.

    If you were to look at Darth Vader and Magneto, it can be argued that they are not necessarily "evil" in the classic sense. Both started as "good" and have chosen to stand for what they believe in and protect those they hold dear. Yet as we all know, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions".

    Thinking of your villains (or any favorite villain you may have from TV, books, films etc.), what qualities sets them apart as "evil"?
    1. What motivates them?
    2. Is it money? Power? Or something less granular?
    3. What are their beliefs?
    4. Do they consider themselves "evil"?
    5. Are they connected to your hero in some way?
    Lastly, whom would you choose as the "supreme villain" from the CoXverse and why do you choose them?
    speaking as Calm Down

    3. ^^^^^

    4. hellz to the yeah

    5. i'm connected only by calming down leo via sapp

    lastly 1) lol@coxverse 2) supreme villain is Harvey Maylor. he's got the evilest of evil agenda's. I'm not quite sure what it is yet, but he'll slip up eventually.

    Defenders in Pvp

    POST-ACTION

    defense doesn't matter, it'll get DRed to nothing.

    look, if you're main purpose is to do damage than A) you shouldn't be doing a defender and B) you shouldn't be doing FF and/or emp

    both FF and Emp are buff sets in pvp, if you don't take the buffs in either set, then you're basically a nerfed blaster.

    for duels, against any experienced pvper, you'll get wrecked, and in zone with no buffs you'll be basically worthless. defenders excel in disruption and buffing, neither of which those builds do any of. even for a damage build, you still have no vertical movement so TS is gonna suck for you, and you have no exit i.e. phase so thats gonna be an issue(even with PFF anything with aim/bu will hit you anyway, as i said defense will get DRed to nothing) not to mention taking fighting does nothing for you.

    defenders aren't laughable in pvp, an FF/DP or emp/DP that only wants to do damage is. The current pvp system, awsum as it is, unfortunately doesn't help most concept builds, if its not specialized it'll be much harder for you to excel. if you're absolutely hell bent on going DP, you're better off making a DP/EM since you'll atleast do some damage and can be built to have some pretty good range in it.
