Quote:Agreed. Ledger was clearly a talent on the rise. Most strapping young guys like him are lining up for romantic comedies and action flicks. Ledger didn't, not really. He took on tough and controversial roles and committed to them. Sure, not all of his movies were great, but you can't find one that he was lousy in. He always brought some light, some verve, to a role.Originally Posted by Ironik
Those are all very different roles, though. Throw in Two Hands, Roar and Monster's Ball and you can see what he can do. Pretty impressive for a guy in his early 20s. (Ledger was 28 when he died.) Plus his ability with accents was amazing. Ned Kelly, wow.
I have no doubt that, had he lived, he'd be considered one of the great actors of this generation. Sadly, he was only just tapping into that promise when he died. But, was he established? He was. -
I have the Tier 3 Destiny on my tanker and it is damn good. 944 at a pop. I may eventually go in a different direction with this toon, but that will be after I get my healing badges. I've already made good progess on the first one.

The only thing I would want is a "flag" that I could place on a recipe that would essentially disallow me from selling any salvage required for that recipe, at least until I unflagged that recipe.

That's correct, you can now get Shards below 50.

Now if we had WOW's subscribership, and they could simply throw cash at silly stuff like a pack for custom butt tattoos that never get seen because they're ALWAYS covered by costume parts, I could see them doing something like this.

Quote:He's VERY overrated, in my opinion. He's done some good stuff, for sure, but a lot of the time he's just seething on screen and he looks lame. This is quite common in sci-fi/fantasy type movies which require a certain sense to pull off... when otherwise good actors can't quite "get" the genre and look ridiculous. See: Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face, Tim Roth as General Thade AND Emil Blonksy, etc. Daredevil failed mainly because neither Affleck or Farrell had the sense of the genre.Originally Posted by CaptainFoamerang
He is? o.O
My two cents. -

Quote:Really? Cap is on, like, one page... total. Nuke, the "weird dude with an American flag painted on him" was in it considerably more, but he stands in stark contrast to Cap's minor presence, and is really the only reason he appears. Honestly, even with it's brevity, I thought it was one of the most powerful portrayals of Cap I had read to that point.Originally Posted by CaptainFoamerang
I was a little disappointed in Born Again. It started out okay then for some reason Cap and some weird dude with an American flag painted on him got involved.

Quote:That movie wasn't great, but I don't think it was nearly a bad as everyone makes it out to be. It has become chic to pan it, regardless. The sad thing is that the material, Daredevil in general and the Miller/Bullseye/Elektra thread specifically, was so amazingly good that the film can only disappoint.Originally Posted by sleestack
This is a remake/reboot I can actually get behind. The Affleck 'Daredevil' was horrible, and I'd like to see the character done well on the big screen.
I'll give any Daredevil movie an honest chance. -
Quote:Exactly. If some poor stressed-out overreacting EU bloke is going to up and quit the game because he has @vanda1 on the EU servers and just cannot survive with another name, I'd happily give it up to him. Really, man. Who cares? It's a global name... just change it to something else you like.Originally Posted by Black_Light
So since you don't care I assume you will change your name to US_<whatever> to save the poor EU bloke that has the same global name as you?
I envy your situation if THIS is something worth complaining about. -
Quote:So, putting that little "EU" in front of your name is reason enough for you to just up and quit the whole game? Overreact, much?Originally Posted by Black_Light
Todays announcement told me that I probably has three to five months left of playing City of Heroes since the odds that @Black Light and @White Knight isn't in use anywhere on the US servers are in use feels slim to me.
I wouldn't mind loosing the right to the name, if I had had a chance of keeping them, but being told you a second class citizen, we don't care about you since US is the bigger market probably will make me quit. Admittedly I wasn't online for the first year, I didn't join until EU Beta but I've had an active account since then, and now being told that me and my name isn't worth anything since I'm not on the US servers feel bloody rotten.
I'm sure there will be good things about the merger, but for me it might be the end since I wasn't even given a chance, I was just told YOU LOOSE! -
I don't have Mid's here at work and so I can't punch out a build, but essentially go to this page: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Invent...hancement_Sets and find every set that offers the defense bonuses you are looking for, probably melee, AoE and ranged. So, you are going to slot Kinetic Combats and Touch of Death into some attacks. You want lots of Obliterations and a Gaussians slotted up.
Good news is that you won't need many -if any- purples.
Bad news is that many of these are high-demand IOs and can get up there in price.
Also, you want to get Combat Jumping and Weave and slot it accordingly. It isn't all that difficult to softcap positional defense on a brute, but it's not going to happen on accident, unless you're a stony in Granite. You may have to make some sacrifices, dumping powers you like for some you don't so that you can slot a power with more desirable bonuses, picking Fighting pool, short-shrifting some much-used powers and fully-slotting seldom-used ones.
Have fun. -
Quote:This came up at the Bay Area Meet and Greet. From what I gathered, while we loved the Herocon, it wasn't exactly a money-making venture on their part, and may even been very costly; that was a lot of hotel space. They asked us how much we would pay for a Herocon, and when they noticed that there were still a lot of hands in the air when they said "$100", I think they were surprised.Originally Posted by XxBudweiser8xX
yes and from what Ive read, This did not go over well. SoooooAgain Im asking when their bringing back the already proven successful HEROCON
I think we may see another Herocon, but it'll be more expensive than the last. How much was that one? $40? $50? I don't remember. I'd bet the next one would be two or three times the cost of the last, and they will probably gauge interest before they go that way. -
Quote:True, but that's doing the same series of tip missions every day for 70+ days... for ONE recipe. Eesh. That's a damn big time sacrifice.Originally Posted by White Hot Flash
That's what A-merits are for.

Quote:This.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
The +Regen (+25%) is better than a Health IO in Health (which is about a +17% increase in Regen). However, if you have a Numina +Rech/+Reg already in Health, the Numina Health IO in a addition to the set bonus for having 2 of that set would be about a +28% increase in Regen. So, in Health, a second Numina (Health) > Reg.Tissue+Regen.
If I had unlimited slots to fill Health, I would go with the four uniques, the Numina Heal, and either the Panacea Heal or the Miracle Heal to get the recovery bonus. -
Miracle, Regenerative Tissue, Numina, and Panacea... that's four by my count.
I don't have all four on any single toon. All of my toons have a Numina. About 50% have a Miracle. About 25% have a Regenerative Tissue. And about 3 or 4 toons have a Panacea.
It all comes down to the type of toon and the slots you have to spare. -
Quote:Yes, this.Originally Posted by NightSable
8 Fire/Rad Trollers. This has been done with superteams many times in the past.
It's an unstoppable force. I've found against AVs and GMs, 7 fire/rads and a scrapper with good single-target damage is a little better, just to have someone dealing huge damage numbers against debuffed-into-uselessness foes. But, it's not like 8 fire/rads need any help with anything. -
Other people who attend events outside California may have a different perspective to offer...
I have attended the Herocon and most of the Meet and Greets out West, and I had some observations:
Virtue has the biggest attendance... by a wide mile, as far as I can tell.
After that, Freedom and Justice are about the same, with the former bringing less than you might expect given their size and the latter bringing more.
Even being a tiny server, Protector gets a pretty good turnout. -
Quote:I'd argue that Justice has/had about as many Hami raids per week, but with a smaller population. I know that, on Justice, by the time the Hami raid is scheduled to start, the Hive has long been full.Originally Posted by Oldeb
And on Hami, yeah, we take him out a lot. I'm sure it's changed with incarnates and shards now, but for a while Virtue had more Hami raids than any other server. Virtue even had people go over to Freedom to help organize some raids there. Which is proof of just how much the two servers hate each other despite all the bluster.
But, without a doubt, if you want regular Hamis, it's either Virtue or Justice. -
Quote:I was just kidding. Virtue is about the only place you see any ERP at all and so I was just joking about it, as I sometimes do when I'm playing on Virtue, which admittedly isn't much anymore. My experience on Virtue? I have a full slate of toons, two 50s, but probably haven't been there in a year.Originally Posted by Positivity
Stop propagating stupid myths like this. How much experience on Virtue do you really have? Fact is, you can only see ERP if you go to Pocket D.
In my absence, said toons are probably ERPing with each other in the base with the power shut off. -
Quote:I think it's both. There are more puddles and each does more damage. It's very ouchy in there.Originally Posted by PumBumbler
I noticed the greater incoming damage but I always associated it with multiple puddles, since more come and usually are concentrated around BM, since that's where all the action is.

Quote:Freedom is the busiest server and the unofficial PvP server. Lots and lots of good players there, but the added traffic is also an double extra helping of dumb.Originally Posted by Murphy_NA
Is there any major differences between the servers? Would the population say, "Server A is typically where X people go?"
Virtue is second busiest server and the unofficial role playing server. You are just as likely to find yourself caught in some erotic role playing with a fat 45 year-old shut-in living in his mom's basement as you would taking down Hami.
Justice/Infinity/Champion are next-busiest. Justice is likely the unofficial raid/TF server. For it's population size, I think Justice offers the most developed TFage, and regular Hami and ship raids. Also, much of Justice is on test server and in Beta and so prior to launches the server populations drops into the bottom bin.
The others all have strong communities, but are tougher to find for outsiders. -
Quote:That could very well be. It's a nasty uptick in damage.Originally Posted by Gaderath
I think its more like quadruple; It starts at like 50 a tick on my regen, and I think it ends around 180 a tick (and usually 2 ticks at a time).

Quote:Exactly. I've noticed lately on our Apex runs that as long as one of our kins is present, we can just dogpile BM before the retreat. After the retreat is a different story, as I think the patches are doubly dangerous and there are more of them.Originally Posted by UberGuy
Towards the end of the mission, even one patch is bad news.
