I got 11 free between my two accounts and purchased 10 more. The purcahses went through quickly and no problems placing any of em.

My only problem is they are all full of new toons now, but I think thats my fault.

Hahaha! Awesome. Altaholism: expands to fill all available space.

Has NCSoft considered working with PlayXPert's stuff? It's still beta, but I heard about it on a podcast. Apparently it does an overlay over an existing game's GUI, and provides a bunch of control widgets like itunes controls, cross-game friends lists, voice chat controls, etc, all without blocking the view of your game.

This post about vivox reminds me of it, because vivox is a partner of theirs and is providing a vivox widget to their overlay system.

4. Aegis Psi/Status Res: (3% psi resist/20% status resistance). Always on even if the power is off

This functions like a set bonus also.

Please see my previous post. I didn't question the formula. Just wondered how she came upon it. The point I was making was how the % listed on the enhancements are misleading. Arcanaville's formula is dead on the money. It's the flaw in what we were led to believe that is my issue. Sorry I confused you on that.

And I hate to break it to you, but calculating enhancement boosts is no where near E=MC². And unlike a theory, they are proveable. Once you get past the fact that the % are not as stated.

[/ QUOTE ]

If your complaint is that the devs have made recharge enhancement numbers deceptive, why are you posting it in Arcana's guide thread? It doesn't belong here.

First you ask a question, and then it gets answered, and then you admit your question was disingenuous and you knew all along what the answer was, and just want to gripe. It's rude.

I'd say nonstop travel suppression on the flag bearer, and also suppress all teleport on them (no tp foe or recall). In return, perhaps consider a +hp, +def, +res compensation.

CTF would be pretty fun in coh. Either instanced in "long" maps (Steel, IP) or in a new pvp zone (hah).

If you tk someone with no knockback protection from high in the air, you’re able to create a knockback which lasts for quite a while. The tk’d person will be unable to do anything (including popping inspirations, hitting powers, etc) for the duration of the tk.

[/ QUOTE ]

This should go away with Issue 12. TK's Repel will no longer affect players.

[ QUOTE ]
Many feel that cage suppression or some other mechanic to prevent permacaging should be added. Currently, cage has no specific counters and a single IO’d sonic can keep another player intangible for 90% of a match. Some like cage as is, and discussion about it is available here.

[/ QUOTE ]

"Cage" Suppression is being added in I12.

Something is not working.

One day into month 49 now and no 48 month Vet Reward. My account said yesterday was indeed the completion of 48 months. I also see some people have their reward from last week.

Not a big deal, but it would have been nice to have gotten the reward yesterday, on the actual day.

It feels like those of us who were in the headstart should get them 4/25, but hey.

Yeah, I noticed it was a lot better than I remembered it being. I took a good chunk of time off and, looking at it now, your guide was likely also written some time after the Burn nerf, which really hurt the primary, imo.

I'm just giving you a hard time. Seriously, one of the best guides I've read for any class in any game I've played for along time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks! And yeah, I had a fire/em tank, and was quite sad when Burn was nerfed.

[ QUOTE ]
I loved the guide and once I get mine unlocked I'm certainly gonna put some of your ideas to the test. However I was rather hurt by your comment that Fire tanks suck. I don't suck. :'(

[/ QUOTE ]

It's pretty important to note that I wrote that before Healing Flames was buffed, and it was a heck of a buff. Also, IOs can benefit self-heals quite a bit, so my opinion of fire tanks has gone up quite a bit. (At the time, dwarf form had 25% more resistance than a fire tank to all but fire damage and a comparable heal, but Healing Flames is a lot stronger now).

Neat. And first post after a mad scientist

Apparently I'll need to roll a fire/fire scrapper and a something/psy blaster at the same time.

Man, I got played. *tries harder to remember it is 4/1*

Mmmm. Fire/Fire for scrappers. This is a very appealing development. What the heck is the damage on BU+FE+GFS? (or BU+FE+HS for that matter)

I like it..

There's an error here:

Health and Endurance:
Regeneration (assuming max mobs in range): 1094% (1016%)
Max HP: 164% (148.3%)

EndUse: 0.85/s (0.8/s)
MaxEnd: 114.5% (110%)

[/ QUOTE ]

Your differential from IO to this build is 76%. That is the sum of your set bonuses. However, the set bonuses section does not list the +10% and +15% from the numina and regenerative tissue uniques, so your total should probably be 25% higher. (That, or they ARE included in the numbers and your common IO numbers should be 25% lower.)

[ QUOTE ]
great post (lotta numbers...bad headache...must drink beer...)

Anyways, I've had a PB for a long time, just started playing my WS again, and I just have a quick question... It's not gameplay related at all, just more informative. Have you (or anyone else) ever found a Level Table for Kheldians? Like the one in the manual showing when you get your 4th primary power, when you get new insp slots, etc etc, but for Kheldians, since we get powers unlocked (I believe) every single power level. I've been looking for a while, just can't find one though...

[/ QUOTE ]

My guide has the available levels of each power, although I don't post them just in a list for that info.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I think I ran into the same problem. I'll have to wait until I get out of work to confirm, but I think I got around this by-as insane as it sounds-throwing another set of quote marks around the file name; it has the odd effect of having back-to-back quotation marks at the end of that bind.

Of course, my Kheld isn't quite up to 20 yet, so I haven't been able to test the dwarf form binds at this time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you have anymore detail into this? I am quite confused still.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't have any advice, since it just works for me - but I think he is saying

bindloadfile 'c:\coh\pb_humanform.txt'"

(so that's [single-quote]c:\coh...[single-quote][double-quote]

If not, maybe he is saying use double quotes instead of single quotes, which seems bizarre.

Is this your initial /bindloadfile from the command line in game that is failing, or is it failing when you actually try to switch forms?

[ QUOTE ]
On February 12th, we introduced a change to Task / Strike Force and Trial Missions whereby the monster spawns would not scale down below...


[/ QUOTE ]
I love this change. Lets us solo tougher task forces that are intentionally beefed up, and lets people solo them for recipes and such at a solo level. (Or duo, or trio)

Man, I *really* love this. *claps*

And it is far less exploitable (no more running it solo and having 8 people rejoin for the last mission).

As it was pointed out, it might be a bit rough on posi teams who lose a few people, but on the balance, I definitely prefer this over the live version.

Next up: let us, at the start, intentionally scale it higher. (ie, start with 1, scale to minimum of 4 - and I'd like that for oroborous missions als please)

[ QUOTE ]
I was "borrowing" my son's account the other night (I pay for it) and tried what I guess is the most natural pairing: fire/kin troller and spines/dark scrapper. I also played with two defenders: storm/rad and storm/sonic. What has been your best combinations? I haven't been able to find any guides on the subject. Thanks all.

Fire/kin + spines dark, or fire/kin + fire/en blaster.

Currently Recruiting: Yes!

RP Level: RP encouraged

PvP Level: Interested, small handful of enthusiasts

Theme/Concept: Classic justice-and-liberty focused group, with unique personalities.

Activity: 10-20 unique members, light activity most evenings and moderate on weekends. Currently in a lull. Very active coalition, people on more or less all the time.

Requirements for Membership: Be mature, courteous, and fun.

Leadership: Daewen, Shadow Force

Coalition: Coalitioned with 4 RP top-100 SGs.

Other: We have a wednesday night superteam currently; we run other scheduled events occasionally such as TFs, badge runs, etc. Prestige earning is not required (nearly 10M banked we don't yet know what to do with - at least until CoP trial is back), but prestige earning is generally paid out with influence (inflrestige generally 100:1), so it can be profitable to play in SG mode early on. One rule is the golden rule. About #78 on Virtue.

Yes all the most recent changes to the game have converted it to City of Farmers,

1) purple recipes tied to mob defeats = best way to get them = farm or PL
2) XP smoothing = reduced the number of drops per level = farm oro to get stuff.
3) XP smoothing = sweeping hazard zones are the best place to level (again, we've come full circle on this one) and while you are sweeping you get to farm.

Lotta really bad ideas here that all point to skipping content and merely farming as the "most efficient way to play the game"

[/ QUOTE ]

And still the most boring.

I'm going to love this change because it's going to give me what I want for once. I get to have cranked up spawns, not for farming, not for drops, but for the joy of the carnage.

All at my own pace with minimal harassment of other players.

Right on.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pretty much what I was thinking. I've always wanted the ability to spawn large maps for my solo characters when I'm in the mood for a challenge.

The only bummer is you still have to harrass a bunch of other people to start it.

I'll just answer that in case Brev isn't around - going into Dwarf or Nova detoggles all toggles and removes all auto powers. Click-activated powers stay on until their duration ends.

I think the question here is: when will your hero costume pack be available in the DAZ Store?

Your link to 1up.com (the first one, not the article) is broken.

/me confused

I have 3 suggestions:

(1) Chance the duration on dispersion bubble to 10-15s (leave activate period the same). Consider a bit of KB protection.
(2) Replace repulsion field or repulsion bomb with a this power: You target an enemy and a large force field appears around him and contracts, dragging all enemies in the AoE TOWARD your target. In other words, it squeezes your enemies together, like an anti-knockback. Not sure if it's possible with the powers system. Both knockback or repel would be fine here. A nice alternate power would be a wall of force. You target a location, it appears there, say 40ft wide, perpendicular to the line between you and your target.
(3) Change the activate on repulsion bomb (if it is kept) to 1s or so, give it a better animation, and a more consistent stun. (I'm thinking 100% mag 2 + 50% mag 1 at a minimum). (As a side note, after 3 years of play, I only got to see Repulsion Bomb because I took it; I'd never, EVER seen anyone use it. After 3 years. That's pretty indicative of something.)

Imagine a team that can complete missions without suffering deaths on Invincible. I see them from level 22 onwards, so it shouldn't be too hard to conceptualize. Now present an argument for why that team should consider a FF defender equal in worth to ANY OTHER HERO THAT CAN BE BUILT.

[/ QUOTE ]

Poor argument. If they can already complete missions on Invincible without suffering any defeats, it doesn't matter WHAT they add; they will still do just fine.

Don't read into this that I think FF is fine as is; just that particular line of reasoning always bugs me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. That team, if they're fine, could pick up the FF defender, then trade scrappers and tanks for blasters, who can then speed up the damage dealt.

Although we'll never see what's really best while there's an arbitrary difficulty cap. When we can spawn 8-man maps of +5s when solo, we'll really know what the best teams of any size are.
