Well, my hubby and I noticed last night that the cheerleader in front of the University said something about Alpha Beta being the best. We didn't stick around to see if she said anything about revenge.... And the colors of her uniform are appropriate for AB in that movie, too.

OK, here's mine.

My husband and I play together a lot. He got CoH when it first came out and tried to get me interested while I protested that it "wasn't my type of game". Then I got hooked into watching him play. Then I played with the character creator when he wasn't playing (we only had 1 computer at the time). Then I made a character, "just to try it out". Then we started "arguing" over whose turn it was to play. Then we started "arguing" when 1 of us got to far ahead of the other. Then we bought me my own computer to replace my dead one and my own copy of the game.

We made a lot of characters that would duo well, but rarely made linked stories. He did at one point make a character to go with Navy Wife (yes, based on me ) but he couldn't get into it and ended up deleting him. We now have too many characters to count across 3 servers.

Then I got into CoV beta before he did, and boy did that cause some tension! But luckily he got into beta before we filed for divorce . If we didn't game together, we'd hardly get to spend any time together.

We have also gotten so many of our real life friends into CoH/CoV that we can have 2 almost-full teams of people we actually know. And that includes 2 more married couples.

Thanks for posting this guide!

Question....

The description for Defender/Power Mastery/Power Build Up makes it sound as if it's a combo of Build Up and Power Boost from the Blaster's Energy Secondary. Is this the case? Build Up typically only affects DMG and ACC while Power Boost affects secondary effects such as Knockback, Disorient, etc.

If so, this is a great combination to take!

Yep! My emp/psi defender has this and it's great! Greatly boosts damage when I use it to boost my Psychic Wail and also greatly boosts my heals (love those big green numbers).

Right out of the box... NO enhancements
<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>
Power MPH
Walk 15 mph
Swift** 20 mph (+5)
</pre><hr />

Now I add one SO to each to see the increase.
<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>
Power % Boost per SO MPH per SO
Swift 33% (to the +7.5 base) 2.5
</pre><hr />

Now what would we expect if we 6 Slot each power... assuming no speed caps.
<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>
Power 6 SO Boost
Swift 30 mph
</pre><hr />

Now I know there are caps with Most powers and here they are:

Power Apparent cap
Swift** 30 mph

OK, I have a question about your numbers for Swift. You say that base walk is 15 mph and Swift unslotted adds 5 mph and each SO in Swift adds 2.5 mph. Shouldn't that make the total of walk + 6-slotted Swift be 35 mph? 15 + 5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 = 35 You seem to be only adding the base walk speed plus the SOs in Swift, but not Swift itself. Or am I just reading this wrong? I know that 5 mph might not seem like a big deal, but I'm a Stone Tank and this is actually my only travel power. I'd appreciate clarification on this.

One I see a lot is LD = link dead or link died = disconnected, crashed. For example:

Did X quit?
No, he went ld.
