    CoH Jokes Thread

    A Virtue player, a Justice Player, and a Freedom player walk into a bar.

    Wait, the Freedom player disconnected, server's full.

    And the Virtue player realised they weren't playing a catgirl and went to buy the Science Pack.

    Left alone, the Justice player trips over Pinnacle passed out on the floor and logs off, because it's 5am.
  5. I think we could officially call Mercs the 'all rounder' of MM sets. Some unreliable controls, moderate AoE damage, good single target.
  6. When you said Ground Pound I was thinking a Yoshi-style butt stomp...
  7. One thing I discovered on the Manticore TF- Ignite and Burn seem to ignore Defense as well as doing tons of damage. Great for removing stubborn bosses. (Paragon Protector MOG, lookin at you)
  8. Given that Maelstrom is stated as a Blaster using Dual Pistols, I really doubt it's gonna be villain-exclusive. I have no idea where you heard that.

    ...and constant re-galeing.


    [/ QUOTE ]

    What stories do you re-gale them with to keep them in the corner?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Usually a riveting pamphlet about why I'm blasting them in the face that particular day.

    ...What do you mean other villains don't hand out pamphlets on this!?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Sure.

    ...if by 'pamphlets' you mean 'murder'.
  11. I figured Villain ATs were meant to be able to take care of themselves, so you don't worry about your teammates and focus on the murder.
  12. My AR/Fire can dish out quite a lot of damage. I'm only at 37 so far but Ignite and Burn are actually both useful for taking on big nasty things, and I tend to have separate attack chains- Full Auto/Flamethrower/M30 Grenade for AoE, Burst/Slug/Buckshot for single target, Fire Sword/Fire Sword Circle/Air Superiority if anything gets to close to me. Yes, I have both Ignite and Burn, since I like fire that much.

    Having Build Up and what is essentially Ignite with faster recharge makes the pairing worth it, IMO. Plus there's the level 1 immob, and some nice melee damage- though I tend to use melee as a last resort, to finish foes off or get them away from me.

    I haven't tried everything yet though. I recently respeced out of Sniper Rifle (too situational) and picked up Beanbag just to give it a shot- though generally anything that I haven't killed quickly enough can't be mezzed anyway. Knockback is your friend.

    New Forms?

    I wanna turn into a T-rex.
  14. His arm pouches are the one item we can't get. I assume they'll be unlocked with the Liefield Task Force.

    Be warned, teams with Khelds will hate you. Void! Oh, wait...
  15. We have enough lethal damage weapon sets.
  16. Prof_Backfire

    Lolz

    ...I still don't see your point.

    You don't want Stalkers to have this set, because...?

    Vigilance

    Vigilance needs the Defiance treatment.
  18. You must be teaming with bad players, maybe AE babies.

    Why don't you try playing a Mastermind yourself and see if you can do better?

    I wouldn't be surprised if Custom Critters in general were to get reduced rewards.

    That's an idea they could work with, since they seemingly insist on allowing all-Lt and all-boss maps.

    You're not going to see any real "nerfs" to Architect experience before they can see what I16's difficulty setting changes do to farming and the Architect Babies (the Winter Lord Babies of 2009). You might see another push to ban more farm arcs, but core changes to the system will likely have to wait.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I bet we see AE farmers pushing their difficulty to the max, and wondering why they get constantly wiped.
  21. I thought you meant Wolverine.
  22. I get market crashes randomly all the time.

    ...hah.

    power pool?

    All the way down the bottom at the right.

    Not that we're criticising, but Jump Kick kinda sucks. Don't worry, you'll get plenty of opportunities to change your build later on.

    Note that some powers don't show up in your tray at all- Passive powers, like those in the Fitness pool (which is highly recommended due to Stamina) are always active and never need to be clicked- so you can't even put them in your tray and don't need to.
  24. I don't think we get those arm pouches...
