I am becoming more frustrated with Entangle and Roots and how they apply to fliers (or don't, in this case). It tells me that the target is in flight even though they are showing very close to the ground. It only seems to get worse as I fight higher levels now. Circle of Thorns Ghost are becoming the worse offenders. I’m using my Air Superiority to try to beat them down, but they’re so hard to hold and immobilize as it is. Any tricks out there that I can use? I have vet powers – Sands of Mu, Black Wand and Nemesis Staff, but the recharge is slow and the accuracy is 50 / 50. I just keep chipping away at them as they run off, life steal and continue to decrease my accuracy with every hit.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It's not announced anywhere. I wanted to get in a couple of hours of play before work too...

I thought I lost this guide. It's an awsome guide! It's nice to use it again. Thanks!

It's timeless information!

YEAH !!!! You are Awsome ! Thank You. That's it. I love this Guide !!!!!!!

I should not have deleted the bookmark to a real good guide. Now, after searching over 200+ pages in the guide section, I can not find the post any where. I am thinking it was deleted. Maybe one of you still have it some where. The guide was a detailed list of I/O sets vs. Single Orgian slotting. I think it was called the cheap man's I/O guide.

The poster went through the whole thing between traditional slotting on power types and how to craft for I/O sets to get the same basic numbers but more perks. The poster also focused on sets that were cheaper to buy off the AH as opposed to the purple sets.

I'm angry at myself for deleting it when I left CoH for a few months. Now that I'm back, I'd love to use it again for reference. It was an awsome post. Anyway, if you still have a link to it, please let me know. I'd really like to go over it again.

I too am returning after about a year off. There was a lot of cool stuff going on when I logged in. I had new contacts, new story arks and the AE mission designer. That was the best. I played a few and I even started writting my own.

One thing I did notice, they still have you choose to allow or disable stuff going to the website, but as of yet, I've not seen any website info relating to those options. I don't think they've ever done anything with it. It may be in the new roll out of the message boards when they go live.

WB & Enjoy!

If you have a Supergroup Base with storage, and both characters have access to it, you can use that to transfer salvage and enhancements. You can't transfer inf that way, but if you transfer a valuable item (rare salvage probably the best) it works just as well.

Interesting you should say this. I was looking at creating my own SG with my 50. Then I thought, I can't do that. I have no way of bringing my alts into the SG. I would have to find someone to sit there and invite them in and then kick the person out of the SG or is there a way to auto invite alts into an SG that has been added since I was last on?

Thanks for the info.

Now to get things rolling again.

I'm coming back to CoH after taking a year break. I have a few questions as I start getting back into things again.

1) Does CoH have a way of transfering inf & items between toons on the same account or do I still need to ask someone to be there to trade with?

2) I am going to be running the flashback missions to complete missions and pick up some badges I missed out on. Will I be able to collect salvage during these runs at the lower levels or will I get normal salvage I would pick up as a 50 or can I even pick up salvage as I run these missions?

3) Am I still able to drop missions? If so, has the one week timer been changed?

I look forward to running CoH again! Thanks for your input!

Oh, and those of you that think this is just horrible. That NCSoft wants to "soak us for money, boo hoo" or words to that effect, let me just say that last I heard NCSoft is a business. And their business is making money. If they don't make money then they can't pay their people, they can't hire more people, etc. Those of you that are criticizing them for adding this option are essentially criticizing Wal-Mart when they add new items to their stock. More things to sell to their customers means more choices for their customers and more money for the company. Please allow me to welcome you to the Real World(TM), where everything runs not on gasoline or electricity, but on money.

Of course if you don't want to pay $10 for a respec please remember that no one will hold an Assault Rifle to your head and force you to do so.

This is exactly true. You pay for what you want. If you don't want it, don't pay for it. There are enough ways in-game to accomplish the same thing. I'd trully rather have them offer these features for a price and make money to help support the game rather than raise our prices ever 12 months to play it.

Hay Smitty.... I have the same issue.

I have 4 years of respects available to every character I make right off the back. There are costume changes and respects sitting there in my badges for vet rewards. Then I get 3 more when running the trials. Then every so often they grant one free for releases or power changes or stuff.

Personally, if it takes that many changes to get a character working for you... well........

Is buying levels, or badges next?

Already done. I purchased the VIP package where I have the VIP Badge and the teleport to Pocket D. That was $9.99 / account. Wasn't there a wedding package that was just released for sale not too long ago for Mantacor & Sister's wedding? I didn't purchase that one, but you got stuff there too.

I am so excited about Issue 12. I think this is going to be a hard one to beat in the future. I’m just sad it’s going to cost me so much money in the long run. After this, I am going to have to go back to gaming addiction anonymous again. I was doing so well too.....

I wish NC Soft NoCal the best of luck! I look forward to the content and adventures in both our future!

My level 50 Ice / Storm Troller has not been redesigned after DE. Even with the endurance reduction and my stamina still slotted with all 6 slots, I am having issues keeping up my attacks as I did Pre-DE. I know I can add a couple of End. Reducers in my powers and break up the extra 3 slots in Stamina, and the extra 3 in hasten, but I just don't see how that is going to help in the long run. I have attempted to copy over to the test server, but as of yet, I am just playing around in the CoV and just not interested in messing with it yet. But, even with the DE and the reduction in Endurance cost, wouldn't the 6 slotted stamina still have a bit better effect than it is, but again, I will have to just play with it and see how it works.

In creating a Super Group. I found that I wanted to add my alts. to the group. But short of giving someone you just met the ability to invite people, can you make it so SG creator can invite alts in to SG at time of creation? It would give me a greater sense of ownership of the SG until I get to know others more to trust them with the Invite Authorization.

Thanks for this forum.

I used Ice Slick and Freezing Rain around the capsule. This kept it nice and safe from all those that would want to do it harm. I also used Gail for extra measure. There were too of us, Fire / Fire Tank and myself, Ice / Storm Controller. We finished in about 10 minutes. We had Lost at lvl 20.

I have been using the Fire / Kin build and the Ice/Ice blaster build. These builds have been working great! I am just a part time player, and unable to build relations enough to get groups on regular basis. Solo is a much better option. Even when I get in a group, the solo builds have proven to be a bigger advantage! I can keep my own against orange & red while in group while working well on blue and white in solo. I have been in PP and Hallows almost not stop now. I am really happy with what I have here now! Thanks for the Great Idea!

I have gone through the books (manual & Prima Game Guide) and I have been trying different ideas. I like this one with the Fire/Kin controller. One questions, why the super speed powers and not the fly powers? It makes him harder to control and gives very little ability for roof top missions until Hurdle at lvl 22? Thanks for the insight !

PS, Ice/Ice is working great ! I had already used the exact same setup. "Great minds think alike !"
