I'm not griping about this, it just struck me as strange that I could acquire it but not be able to use it until 25. I think both Tealeaf and ClawsandEffect have a lot of good ideas about why it might have been this way.

[/ QUOTE ]

Part of it, I think, is simply wanting to K.I.S.S. it.

Gating a zone by level is not new tech.

There is no "You are level 25 badge" that we know of - visible or otherwise.

Doing it as they've done helps keep the badge database looking cleaner without requiring any kind of new tech, yet lets them tell you that you have it.

Well, currently there's no cross-side transfer of any kind.

[/ QUOTE ]
That is completely FALSE.

There are a number of players that transfer influence/infamy for little more than auction fees. I recommend @Smurphy.

[/ QUOTE ]

Please note, I have never used his services, but I do trust @Smurphy. He is trustworthy, and generally willing to help.

If it does not target an enemy, it will not break stealth (except using glowies, of course)

What powers do you normally run?

What enemies? Rikti Drones for example don't have +Perception, but they do ignore stealth values.

Addition : in at bases there are storage racks for both enhancments and salvage, but you need permission to add and remove items for that bin. It is "SG-wide".

No. You can try using the consignment house, but that has risks.

Did they replace her with a Nemesis Automaton?

Ex-Nemesis ftw!

I seem to recall Fire's self heal being up pretty often - have to double check one of my lowbie fire tanks, though. Too used to my high level ones.

[/ QUOTE ]

That would be the one exceptions - as most of the self heals that give the +RES(Toxic) are dull pain clones... which fire's is not.

[ QUOTE ]
When you mentioned that you would go red while fighting, you didn't mention what you were fighting. What damage the mobs tend to do depends on what you are fighting.

If you are fighting Vazhilok Zombies, they do toxic damage and usually a low level tank will have no defense against toxic damage. Then you become as squishy as a blaster.

Survivability comes from teamwork. Controllers to hold mobs in place and debuff, Defenders to buff and heal, Scrappers and Blasters to do megadamage. Tanks keep the mobs away from everyone else so they can do their job.

If you are getting hurt fast, someone else on the team may not be doing their job.

[/ QUOTE ]Nobody has defense against toxic

For toxic damage, you either defend against it's delivery type (AoE, Ranged, or Melee) or you resist it. Only one with low-level resists easy for toxic that I recall are WP (High-pain tolerance) and Dark Armor (toxic resist in their first armor toggle). Most other sets with a self heal have toxic resist in the self heal... but it's not up like it is for WP or DA.

If you choose Freedom or Virtue as your main server, be prepared to take your chances, and don't complain if that happens to you. =)

[/ QUOTE ]
This is plainly false. In the old days, if Freedom or Virtue filled up to a "maximum" capacity they would lock it until a certain number of people left. Until they did, no one else could get in. That stopped a long time ago.

Now, when the server population reaches a threshhold level they begin locking it for a few seconds, then unlocking it on a cycle. The longest I've had to wait to get in during the last two Double XP Weekends or the Anniversary Week was two minutes. That's it. If you log in and you see Freedom or Virtue greyed out (locked), just click back and log a second time. Odds are it will be unlocked the next time.


[/ QUOTE ]

This is true. I still suggest, though, not putting all your eggs in one basket - if you go on Freedom, find a West coast server as well, as there are (rare) network issues either in a data center or elsewhere on the 'net that can prevent you from reaching half the servers, as well as giving you an alternate if you feel Freedom is too busy.

From a little cut-paste I have dealing with starting on another server -

[ QUOTE ]

What you want to consider is a west coast server. Those are:
Champion
Guardian
Justice
Protector
Virtue

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

One way to cheat if you ever need to remember, is on the server status page, it alternates East Coast/West Coast.

I tossed Kismet Accuracy proc in to Maneuvers and if I toggle on Maneuvers and stand there, I never see it proc on the logs.

[/ QUOTE ]

The Kismet +ToHit IO doesn't proc, so it won't send messages to chat tabs. What this IO does is apply a buff to the caster every time the power it's slotted in is activated and lasting for 120s. The buff doesn't self-stack, it's overwritten every time the buff is reapplied, like Force Field bubbles.

Toggles actually work like click powers set to auto-fire. At specific intervals, just as if it had a recharge time, a toggle will reapply its effect. In Maneuvers' case, that interval, the activation period, is 0.5s. So every half second, it reapplies its buff. With the Kismet IO slotted in Maneuvers, you also get the Kismet buff refreshed every 0.50s, and it will last for ~120s after Maneuvers is turned off.

That's why it doesn't send messages to a chat channel, because it doesn't randomly apply its buff like a proc would and because it would spam a chat channel with rapid fire messages.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, the 120's & procs activate no more often than every 10 seconds on a toggle or autopower.

[ QUOTE ]
At any time, without telling us, they can run a script which free the names of characters who:
- Are under level 6, and
- Are on accounts inactive (unpaid) for over 90 days

A character whose name is freed loses that name if someone else tries to take it. If nobody takes the name, the name is secured again by logging into the character. If the name does get taken, the character is given a free rename.

We don't know how often they have run or will run the name-freeing script, just that they can do it at any time.

[/ QUOTE ]

And you will know that character needs to have it's name resecured because when you select it, as I recall, the character will no show off to the right like it normally would.

It's also not a cone, but a rain, and costs more end still.

In super hero terms it's not unheard of for certain people to develop their ability further to alter the emotions of others.

[ QUOTE ]
The limitation is an anti-farming nerf to keep players from exploiting certain enemy groups on various maps. It comes from the days when a Tank (usually Fire/) and a Blaster (also often Fire/) would herd an entire map of Freaks (or Wolves or Ninjas) into a single dumpster and blast them into oblivion.

Good luck trying to get it reversed.

[/ QUOTE ]
Uhm, the thread's not talking about unlimited AoE target caps; It's asking for the target cap on full auto to be raised to 16 (I think), for parity with other tier 9 blasts.

[/ QUOTE ]

Then for parity - it would need to have it's recharge increased by a factor of 6, changed into a PBAoE (Death blossom Full auto?) and include the end drain/crash.

EDIT - also have it's end cost increased 33%

Did you petition it? Either on live or test?

[ QUOTE ]

No, the CoV CE does not come with any of the Pre-Order helmets.

[/ QUOTE ]

Alt was referring to the Hero-clix figures, which he erroneously though were included in the pre-order.

[ QUOTE ]
Didn't they have some prestige grants for testing purposes? Maybe its from that.

[/ QUOTE ]

1 - Not as much as he had.

2 - Only on the Training Room, not TR01. And nowhere now.

[ QUOTE ]
Hey, at least you didn't get the bug where you enter a different instance of the mission and find yourself in the map all alone.



[/ QUOTE ]

its happened to me like 8 times, lol.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was not all alone - the other new guy also joined me.

Then when we tried to fix it, the whole team loaded into the new instance.

[ QUOTE ]
Also the pre-release CoV also had a Hero-Clics figure.

[/ QUOTE ]

The only hero-clix releases were:

CoH DVD Collectors Edition - Statesman, no Cape

CoH Regular Retail - Random from what was available to the CoV CE

CoV Collector's Edition - Arachnos: Lord Recluse, Ghost Widow (left), Black Scorpion, and Captain Mako. The Freedom Phalanx: Statesman, Manticore (left), and Positron.

The Pre-order for CoV did not come with a heroclix - there were four versions of the Pre-order code, which where Best Buy, Gamestop, Somewhere else I cannot recall, and "Everywhere Else" - there were four different helmets although they added one to the Ghost Widow helm edition so both guys and girls would have one for that code.

[ QUOTE ]
actually all you have to do is quit the team and then join again. at least that has been my experience when this happens.

[/ QUOTE ]
Different problem.

What he is describing I've had happen solo.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm having a similar problem with AE.

Most arcs run without issue but a few won't do anything at all.
I click on the arc, click play and get the warning box. Click ok, but the contact is still the hologram and the AE icon in my UI won't turn on.

I have no missions and I'm solo....

[/ QUOTE ]

The arc is invalid. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no indication other than the fact that the mission fails to properly set - noticed by the two things you pointed out - the contact remains the standard holo and the AE icon does not show up inside the XP circle.

[ QUOTE ]
Oh cool, I did not know that, might get it today then, they do look nice, also If's not much to ask, Is there a way other than the CE of CoV to get the arachnos cape? They don't sell those on my region nor other regions ship to it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Note, Villain Epic Archetypes do get a version of the Arachnos cape but it is not quite the same.

[ QUOTE ]
Excellent >_< thank you!

[/ QUOTE ]

One thing with all pets - for a pet attack to have a chance to trigger a proc, that attack has to use that set. For Acid Mortar or rains, they have one attack, and any set the summon power takes is a category the attack uses.

However, some more complicated pets, such as Henchmen or the Singularity have several attacks, and for example some henchmen will take -Def IO sets, but only when they use an attack with enhanceable -Def will that chance a trigger of the proc, and not all of their attacks have enhanceable -Def.

I have a feeling the side-switching will only be available for ATs created once the expansion is live. The short movie for the expansion gives the impression those who are given the choice to switch gradually from good to evil are Praetorians.

The expansion might contain story arcs and task/strike forces that are made to either facilitate or prevent a full scale invasion by Preatoria.

Then again I'm a n00b.
What do I know.


[/ QUOTE ]

It's been mentioned that anyone can go there - and do the side-switching stuff.
