  1. I thought tremor was inferior to footstomp because tremor is a pseudopet attack. May be wrong though.

    As for whirling hands, it is worth taking but its nothing thats gonna change your survivability at all. Energy melee is choppy as hell with or without WH.

    I just frankenslotted what was cheap at the time. Although, I did invest in a couple Thunderstrikes for the +Acc bonus.
    Exactly the problem I had building this. Kin handles all the usual desires.

    As for going for ranged defense, its too hard to softcap and dare I say impossible with my power choices. So, I opted for the more available s/l defense. Just need to squeeze out more from set bonus's...somewhere.

    Your logic has absolutely escaped me. Just because he happens to play on infinity doesnt mean ANYTHING he talks about is infinity related. CO and infinity have 0 relation other than the people making CO ripped off the game infinity is part of. It is outright rude to discuss it on this forum. IF you havent noticed (you may not, maybe because your one of them) this servers forum has been plagued by a select few who seem to be campaigning against the game on its forums. Im tired of it. I understand giving farewell speeches, not a biggie (as long as its one.) I am not against people saying where they will be going in those speeches (as long as they actually go and dont constantly stop by and never actually leave.) I dont care about what game you are now playing after leaving CoH. This is not your SG's forum, this is the CoX infinity server community forum. Go tell your actual friends about where your going and crap, Im not your friend and I dont care.

    I swear there is a games and for fun section on the CoX forums....

    Blaster Balance

    I think the OP forgot this game is balanced towards SO's and not toons IO'd out to the gills. Once IO's were added, endurance issues no longer barred toons from min/maxing. Recharge issues no longer existed, making it viable to use 1 or 2 attacks for your main damage chunks, thus increasing AT's damage to numbers never before seen outside of serious awesomesauce buffing.

    Blasters are by no means underpowered. Though I do admit some of the secondaries lack a real wow-factor.

    Plant/Kin advice

    What set bonus's should I be going for? I like to build em with a budget in mind, and posi's are expensive as hell blue side so yeah Ide be down for alternate slotting. I started to build it with defense in mind, but got stuck. I figured I needed s/l or melee defense since I am in/just outside of melee range constantly. Here is what I have so far:

    Code:

    So yeah any advice on slotting/direction of set bonus's is much appreciated.
  6. I am a firm believer that this has no place on the infinity server forum. That is all.


    Also, CO's graphics suck.

    That is all.

    Have you seen the dude with mad green boxes all over him? What else would that be other than granite armor? Just a simple aura? Cus I dont think theyd be slapping it on the advertisement for the power customization issue if it wasnt power customization...

  10. yeah but thats changing soon...
  11. I think its needed. It should pop up and ask if you are sure you want to pay <amount>, or if you chose to pay via voucher then that instead of the amount.

    Yes its being brought on by a personal experience, but I have had trouble with it twice now. This time it cost at least 5 million.
  12. Pretty sure its on sundays at like...8 pm est I believe.

    Crap that sounds like the death of a street fighting set. Not saying this could make Martial arts look like a street fighting set though...

    AE

    That brings up another question; what are some good channels for content teams. I joined one that some hero was trying to start but he turned out to be a radical anti-aeist so it didnt totally make sense...

    Would be cool if there was a list of popular publicly open channels...

    AE

    Hey Ive been checking in on the ae in rwz for the past couple weeks seeing if its at all active, and Ive found it isnt. Now I know some are putting off teaming with the other side til rogue comes out, but I think its a waste to let the ae in rwz sit unused. SO, anyone know of a good time to run ae in rwz (I could just be missing the peak time for it) or want to start boosting the rwz ae population?

    One advantage would be the 35+ level req in rwz. I know I get tired of playing on teams where I am the only high level outside of the ae missions haha.

    Another advantage would be less lag since you are no longer in atlas or cap.

    I dont know, thought Ide toss it out there.

    Oh and by the way, I know rwz ae was active when ae came out, very active actually. So...
  16. Ide be more down if the game didnt suppress travel when attacking. Ide be waaaaay down to strife around tossing grenades ambidextrously; constantly in motion, arms flailing.

    Lag on Infinity

    hey this hasnt happend to me for probly two weeks but for a little while there I (and team) was getting thrown out of the ae mission entrance every now and then. When we would go to enter, some would crash at the load and some of us would load and then be thrown somewhere random in Cap. We had people zoning-in mid air, on roofs, or in the ae building. I was violently tossed from the ae portal a couple times even. It happend a few times and I never bugged it (thought it was cool/funny, and not a bug)but maybe I should have.

    I have been experiencing the same thing. I have noticed it gets worse when
    A: we are running a lower level SF ie....Ice minstral or
    B: when we have a team of 8 running regular contacts....
    When I am running with a smaller team it is not occuring

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This is exactly what I noticed. I was solo for most of the night and it was fine...then once I got onto a team and we hit 7 or 8 people...it became very bad, very fast.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Though what you guys are stating is like...completely normal and has never been abnormal, I am experiencing abnormal lag on infinity as well as several crashes a day.

    I'm not going to say that this makes bugs acceptable. However, if you're playing coh after a long day of coding, you'd empathize with the devs.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Yeah I wasnt trying to discredit anyone, I was doing the opposite. Obviously to eradicate all bugs from the game would be unthinkably difficult, but I dont think anyone was asking for that.

    I took it as a balancing issue. I would prefer they handle *some* bugs before pushing the new issue out to live, opening up the door for more bugs to appear. Preventing a pileup, you know? Pretty simple request, standard personal opinion.

    I think people have to remember (when posting) that when someone opens a thread making a request, suggestion, plea, etc. that its just that and nothing more. It does not mean thats how the game is going to be unless you show complete hatred towards the idea, its creator, and the keyboard it was all typed on.
    I used to do it all the time...probably still will sometimes... out of boredom Im guessing. I dont know, whatever

    Here's a thought:

    Learn something about programs before demanding anything.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I believe thats why he is the player, not the creator. Even if he DID learn more about programs, went and took classes and maybe even earned a degree, he would come home and log into the same bug ridden coh. How exactly does learning about programs alleviate the situation. He is paying THEM to do the programming so he can explore the world they have provided.

    No, "programming is hard" is not an excuse, and I think any professional game developer would take offense from such a statement.

    OP isnt suggesting something new, and Im all for it. Ive crashed on average three times a session for the past week or two. That is three times more than Im used to. And it IS always when leaving or entering a zone/mission. I dont have the hardware he is working with, but like I said its a new problem.

    So, make things easier and wipe the slate clean. Especially considering the bugs Ive been reading about on the test forum...

    Thats the funniest thing ever. But Yah I do find myself checking things like badges and vet rewards these days...lol.

    A lot of people Ive been teaming with are people who have been given their account from family/friends...dont know why but it seems to be a new trend. Sure, you gotta deal with noobery and all but I think its always good to have new faces.

    Oh wait totally forgot why I started to say that....yeah so uh vet badges arent a good sign anymore. yeah thats what I wanted to say.
  22. If anything the devs are looking for similar moves...

    No one knows anything about it, so unless you get a redname posting here you can pretty much close your eyes and scroll through any page on the forum, and have just as much info as everyone else on if street fighting will become a set.

    Though yeah its basically a sure thing that dual pistols and demon summoning are the next set considering the devs have said they are going to be in the expansion.

    Elec control and street fighting ftw!
