screenies that tease ... ive seen better teasing from a 67yr old woman ffs

[/ QUOTE ]You should really start hanging out at more expensive strip clubs.

Personally, I found the teaser quite teasing.

I was changing costumes earlier today and in one of them my arms were missing - my gloves were still there though, so I looked like a punk rock rayman.

I'm not having any trouble with consume tbh, like Shannon says, slot it for recharge and it's fine.

I could certainly do with something to combat mobs that actively drain my endurance, but maybe that's just me.

I don't mind the 30 second wait for logging out, but I would like to see the "press any key to cancel" thing adjusted a bit so you can alt-tab while you're waiting.

I've had more fun in game today than ever before - aside from reaching 50 for the first time, I think I've encountered just about every classic superhero cliche.

I saved the world(tm), rescued a damsel in distress(who just happened to be a newsreader under siege from drilling machines - turtle power!) and uncovered a sinister conspiracy(also tm).

I've beaten up nazis, a giant robot, evil clones, a villainess who came on to me as I was kicking her head in, alien invaders and a couple of small armies. And to top it all I even got to punch Nemesis in his stupid gold face.

Three cheers for our unique brand of punchy justice!

Finally got my first 50 with my tanker, Flashing Atom.

Thanks to everyone who's helped me out on my way there =]

Ferris Bueller, you're my hero.

LeighB's suggestion worked (and is probably what I had on the other character)

When I say saving the keybinds left F toggling the zero-g pack, I mean the key toggled sj/cj but when I saved the binds to a file, the file showed f as "powexecname zero-g pack", which was an outright lie.

On my stalker from back in the day, pressing F toggles between super jump and combat jumping - I wanted to copy this behaviour to a new character, but when I save the keybinds it has F toggling zero-g pack.

Anyone know a) how I did this originally? and b) why the game won't tell me?

Congratulations

I know it's probably not a priority for many people, but I think some new travel powers would be nice, for the sake of characters that don't suit the existing powers and for the sake of some variation.

A couple of ideas I had were:

"Money" power pool, with a couple of gadgets, a motorbike (essentially just superspeed without the super) as the third power and a helicopter (instant transport to your base/nearest trainer/whatever) as the fourth.

"Adrenaline" powerset with fear resistance, freerunning (sort of half and half sj/ss with maybe pulling yourself onto ledges that you can't quite jump onto) as it's 3rd and a parachute (for base jumping) as it's 4th.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

To be perfectly honest, I can imagine a similar crowd gathering on *any* ship once word gets around that a woman is on board.

I have to say, Cimerora is excellent - it has more character than almost any other zone.

If this is what updates are going to be like from now on then hurrah! Also, since time travel is playing such a big part in the game at the moment can we have some dinosaurs? =p

That thread has info on how to protect the character order

I've had a new laptop with vista on since christmas and aside from that flaming nvidia problem I've got absolutely no complaints.

Eventually dell got off their [censored] and released a driver update that more or less sorted it out anyway, so now I get the message very rarely (almost never) instead of near constantly.

As for coh, it runs fine on directx 10, though it's worth mentioning that if you *do* get that driver stopped responding error, it seems to crash coh where some games will recover after a few seconds (or minutes).

So, er yeah, vista is great but get an ati card.

grats dal =]

mine's @punitive =]

i should be around on friday night and i'll be happy to help farm this - i'm only lvl32 though, but if that's ok then just give me a shout

i checked in the builder and you're right, 1 recharge in web envelope makes it 15 seconds, 2 is 12 seconds and 3 is 10.something, so not really worth it

anyway, i've rejigged stuff and this is (hopefully) my final build:

thanks again for all the help everyone =]

big thanks to everyone who helped out tonight =]

and sympathy to Gravi Lax, who disconnected just before we killed jack =/

i was going to suggest sharkhead (cause i know at least 3 or 4 spawn points there) but tbh, i'm not fussed where we do it =]

anyway, i'm online as of now, so if anyone's interested, give me a shout in game and we'll try and get the ball rolling

[ QUOTE ]
Which zone were you planning to hunt in?

[/ QUOTE ]i know he won't spawn in any lower level zones, but other than that does the zone make much difference or does he have the same chance to spawn everywhere?

i should be on most of the day, but there's usually not enough people around for a hunt until evening, so, er, no - i've no idea when =]

let's say 7pm (assuming bt don't unplug half of britain's broadband again)

since today is the last day of halloween, has anyone got a hunt planned? if not, shall we plan one? =]

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah that looks ok to me, apart from the fact you've 6-slotted Rise of the Phoenix, which is a bit pessimistic - looks like you're planning on dying A LOT
...
Also if you're going to be using Tough all the time once you get it then you might as well move that second EndRdx from Acrobatics into Tough - it will save you more End per second there.
...
And I'm not really convinced you need all those recharges in Web Envelope, but you may have a specific purpose in mind (PvP I'm guessing - that would explain the 3x THBuffs in Build Up too).

[/ QUOTE ]anything above level 30 is just guesswork tbh, i put so many recharges into web envelope because according to the character editor that would bring it's recharge more or less into line with burn (and i figure one's not much use without the other), i see your point on phoenix though =]

[ QUOTE ]
Also as you're not slotting Jump Kick, and its rubbish anyway, you might as well take SJ at 28 - its faster than Fly so there will probably be times you would use it instead (like escaping from or chasing people in PvP) - I mean it's not like you're going to use Jump Kick at all, is it?

[/ QUOTE ]good point

thanks again for the help =]

edit: forgot to ask, is 3 tohit overkill in build up then? and how would you recommend i slot phoenix? 1 health?
