    I wouldn't concern myself with what other builds people are using, if you enjoy it, keep playing it. I have a rad/dev blaster and a lot of people would say that's not a great combo.. but it's fun so I keep playing it.
  4. I will have to second fire/fire...

    IMO it truly is what a blaster should be... you're EXTREMELY squishy, your only mitigation is killing the baddies before they get to you, but the amount of damage you'll be able to do will make you an asset to any team as long as you let the tank (or whoever is acting as tank) get sufficient aggro before you unleash hell...

    Nothing more satisfying than running into a group of 10 baddies after the tank hitting inferno and have almost every one of those same baddies drop.

    And knockout blow. Winding up and letting bad guys have it, Popeye style!

    Couldn't agree more. However, when you say swapped to ground punch... can you do that?! If so I had no idea!

To extend your analogy, he isn't telling you where all of the easter eggs are he's telling you where the one that you missed is once you've found all of the others.
    I have to agree with this... I've done missions before that I've cleared except one enemy or one glowie and spent more time looking for them than the rest of the mission.

Understand that the player in question also played World of Warcraft for a couple of years and apparently such gear discrimination is a lot more common in that game.
    Having played WoW for several years I can say that gear discrimination is MUCH more common there... I've not hit 50 so I can't speak from experience but from everyone I've talked to in game or on these forums it's not even an issue... your friend needs to get the WoW out of her head lol.

    On the other hand she may just want to get the best enhancements to build the most powerful toon possible and there's no harm there but she definitely needs to understand it's not necessary here.
  8. Solo I usually set it to -1/x3ish when I'm running around by myself I like to feel invincible lol.

    On a team as long as the team can handle it I try to keep it at +2 minimum. Aside from the xp boost I prefer a challenge when I'm on a team.

    First let me say that I found this entire post hilarious.

    This particular one got me to thinking of all the random music I've listened to while playing this game... mostly metal however, one day I youtubed "I need a hero" by Bonnie Tyler.

    Do this and one of a few things will happen.

    1. You will not stop laughing, primarily due to the cheesy 80's electronic drums sounds.

    2. You will actually get into it, just don't tell anyone... and don't let your girlfriend see you. You'd think she caught me watching porn...

    3. You will be inspired to make a gameplay video using it as your background music.

    This will probably be me... I'm a bit of a nut about making my toons as awesome as they can be lol.

    To discourage over-use. Which probably can cause the above item to happen more.
    I suppose covering the cost makes sense, it would be cool though if we could have a free one every so often though, even one a month would be cool IMO. I can't imagine that being an issue if the servers can handle 6 a week. I know not everyone's using the freebies but I've used most of mine with no problems.

    On re-reading it, it did come out that way though.

    What I meant was more along the lines of a general "why does everyone keep asking and/or complaining about level 50 content when it's the exact same thing every mmo has".

    Actually, I guess even that sounds a little snarky.

    So, I'll just apologize if I upset you and shut up now

    EDIT: Oh, and welcome to the game. Enjoy it, it's a heck of a ride.

    lol no apology necessary but thank you. That's kinda why I prefaced my original post as such, I know those of you that have been playing for awhile have seen lots of posts about this so to you it's more like a "I just answered this YESTERDAY!"

    But definitely enjoying the ride thus far... my altoholism is causing me to take the scenic route at every opportunity though lol.

    And to Darth, I've tried some of the AE missions and even just playing them is fun... going through one where all the baddies were named "Tech Support" was awesome lol...

    Wow you really see yourself as a victim, as the one who's being picked on by all the big bad forum members?

    Do you seriously not consider the possibility that the problem is YOU?

    Please, if you haven't, check the thread I linked in my prior post. You've brought this all upon yourself.

    If you really don't get it then I honestly don't think you're stupid, I think you probably truly suffer from a social anxiety disorder of some sort. I've established that I'm not worried about being openly insulting so believe that I'm not saying that to be rude or insulting, I'm quite sincere.

    I thought your name looked familiar. I jut invited you to the SG. I'll just send word out in Coalition chat. I have been working on a scrapper lately. Still looking to level my blaster, though. I may be forming a TF tonight.

    Oh, heck, who am I kidding? I'll be forming a TF tonight. just not sure which one. Pushing to get to L 35 for numina and TF Cdr
    lol yep that's me and Radu is my blaster of course (still need to get him an invite to the SG actually) I'd love to run a TF tonight but band practice bleh! Recording starts this weekend so won't be on much then but as I've said before (and haven't shown yet sadly) I'm usually on most nights lol.

    Now that I'm thinking about it though it depends what time the TF starts practice nights I'm usually home by 9:30ish so I may be on after that.

    Cadler is 35 now but I have no issues exemping down or whatever

    I'm sorry, I wasn't clear... I didn't use the word tool to be subtle, I've always considered it to be a fairly obvious insult. In fact I wanted you to be insulted by it and judging by your response... you were. Go me! In fact here I'll spell it out.

    You are an idiot.

    Better?

    Edit: I did notice fewer errors in your most recent post. Also, it's not just your grammar it's the way in which you seem to carry yourself on these forums, like I said before think about it if everyone's telling you the same thing it's not beause they're picking on you (aside from blatant insults) it's because they're trying to help you understand why whatever is being discussed is an issue, whether it's your poor grammar, your taking offense to people trying to tell you how you should play while we tell you your over-reacting and to just ignore them or in a true pot and kettle scenario you openly insulting Tonality FIRST in this thread:

    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=205036

    Let me say it again, you're an idiot.
  16. Not sure how accurate this is but it shows the halfway point is lvl 45 judging by the cummulative xp required to get there.

    This is another good point and is why I haven't started having my toons spread around until recently... the toons I moved I rarely play my "main" toons will likely always been on Virtue.

    One thing I am curious about that isn't related to the thread is why there's a $10 charge to transfer normally. Having transferred as many as I have recently it's obvious that it doesn't take much effort for it to take place, every transfer I've made so far (about 10) has been instantaneous.

    With all my Virtue slots full and free transfers available I actually made that happen over the last couple weeks spreading some over Freedom and Justice... I know those three typically "fight" over the highest population and may have issues during the event I'm hoping having some on each will at least present me with options. I tried playing on Victory once and it truly felt dead to me.

    I actually read that thread before starting this one... I started the new thread because as you pointed out that one is 6 months old and it became a thread more about the awesomeness of macskull's avatar and never addresses my specific question.

    GAH! My head's going to explode if I keep thinking about it right now.

    LMAO I find this absolutely hilarious as my not soon enough to be ex-wife stole my Wii and subsequently sold it.

    Now that I think about it again... it's not so funny lol.

    Because there are always new players, e.g. ME

    Judging by your response you probably didn't really read my original post but skimmed through it kind of assuming you knew what it said, which is understandable.

    My highest lvl toons being in the mid 30s I actually just experienced my first TF last night so when it comes down to what is at the lvl cap I'm not looking for "more than activity X" I'm just curious as to what people do as I've never experienced most of it.

    While I understand your frustration and borderline cynicism with my question, it's not necessary, weren't you new once?

    Sweet, I'm not in a rush to get to 50 but thought if it's as boring as some claim it is once you get there I need to go even slower lol.

    I know this has been brought up before and I did try to search before posting this because I KNOW for those of you been playing awhile this question is probably rather annoying... but what do you do at lvl 50?

    I've seen people post that they essentially retire toons at lvl 50. I understand that there's no real "endgame" like in some other MMOs but the thought of getting a toon all the way to 50 with nothing else to do with it but farm is kinda disheartening.

    I know at one point I saw a thread going over things to do after hitting 50 but when I searched I couldn't find it to save my life.
