I know I am not a DHP but, well done! I haven't been able to check SG rankings lately. But seriosuly, well done!

Doesn't the lag make ALL your toons unplayable?

EDIT: Battle Bots / Force Fields? They wouldn't be able to hit you and with Force Bubble, they wouldn't be able to get to you.

OR if you're a Villain go to Port Oakes and see the SuperGroup Registra. You should be able to pay him.

Look at the date of the thread, and some of the responses. This is from almost a year ago when there was a sound effect bug.

EDIT: Oh wait. I think I know what you mean. When you use the attack, before "Beeeeeeeep" of the laser eyes there is a sound like "Brrrrrrrrpppp".

You may not understand my sound effects, but I do.

I'm so tempted to just try and keep up that charade, obviously fake as it was.

No, I'm not ;o) I had to Google him to find out who he was, however! LOL!

And yeah - I think fashion coordinators could make quite a business in the city. It would be the 'costume competitions' of old ;o)

What will you call your business? "Flare Eye for the Superhero Guy"?

Now why can I see that working?

But seriously, if you like self help fashion programmes then this one is not bad, much better than Trinny and Susannah anyways!

We had costume competitions? When? I know nothing of such shenanigans!

Just to clarify... is this a SG for LGBT Characters or Players?

[/ QUOTE ]

Characters by the looks of it.

And Winter... ARE you Gok Wan?

I am glad to hear the plans are going ahead. I will meet you and the rest of the team at Positron promptly. I look forward to whatever tasks we will be bestowed with as well as seeing what different array powers you all display.


((Thank heavens you moved the date to next Thursday! I just haven't had time to come on of late and re-roll Illudra. She should be more than ready by next Thursday! Thanks, Jonas!))

((Hello Jonas. Illudra here. I am going to re-roll her as Mind Control / Force Fields just wasn't me. I am going back to my original plan of being an Illusion / Empathy Controller as the name suits the concept better.))

Illudra's Biography.

It was obvious from a young age that Stephanie Texel was born with powerful psychic powers. She could project the twisted images in her head forth and place them in the minds of others as well as provide an aura of mental fortitude. As she finally grew out of adolescence and her powers fully manifested, the Circle of Thorns decided it was time Stephanie became one of them. They attacked the Texel household, but Stephanie conjured up her psychic thoughts and the images in her head. She fought the Circle, mentally breaking some of the mages, but overexerted herself and fell unconscious. Stephanie woke up a week later in Independence Ports’ Bell Point Hospital only to be told by Aurora and Sister Psyche that the Circle had managed to escape with her parents. Vowing revenge, Stephanie now fights for justice as Illudra, in the hopes that one day she will find her parents alive.

((Hope you'll have me. I am re-rolling her today so I should be Level 13 / 14 by Thursday. ))

EDIT: ((She's a Mutant))

It is ridiculous the amount of people who go in and are there just for farming and then moan when they get attacked.

[/ QUOTE ]
Almost as ridiculous as people who tell you to stop attacking their friend as they're "only here to talk"/"only here to show me their controller". Oh wait, that's actually FAR MORE RIDICULOUS.

[/ QUOTE ]

Umm... that was for like five minutes? Not a whole half an hour or more like farmers! And my friend was just attacking some Arachnos as I wanted to see what Illusions was like. All I asked was that you leave us alone for a few minutes and then you can attack us. So I don't really see your point. And saying it is far more ridiculous gives me the impresssion that you like the fact people or yourself can farm there. I think me asking you to leave me and a friend alone for FIVE MINUTES pales in comparsion to farmers ruining a zone which would be rather enjoyable if people used it right!

And they could do something with Recluse's Victory. Instead of having Level 54 Turrets why not reduce them to Level 50. This would dramatically lower the rewards they give. Also, lower the "Elite Boss" Heavies down to Level 50 so it can prevent players from being one-shotted. Or scrap the heavies even. More than half the population of the game with any Archetype can solo a Boss their level anyway so I don't see the need for Heavies. But then again the Turrets are close together so why not space them out a bit more?

What's wrong with RV?

/em rant start!

I have said it before... and I'll say it again! The only reason nobody wants to PvP in RV is because when you go in and you attack someone they then broadcast "N00b!", "I am farming. Don't attack me!" or "I am here for pillboxes". It is a PvP Zone for crying out loud!!! If you can't handle being attacked AND killed then don't go in! SIMPLE! To eneter a PvP zone (where you get a message saying "You WILL be attacked by other players!") and then broadcast "Don't attack me. I am here for Inf!"... well sorry ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, that in my books doesn't apply! If someone says that I then start to grief them by preventing zone reset (like you're supposed to) or I start killing them. It is ridiculous the amount of people who go in and are there just for farming and then moan when they get attacked. Then when you state it is a PvP zone, they send a torrent of abuse your way! I have not once, not once ever entered RV and found people actually playing the game it was there for! Sure the Inf rewards are nice and the EXP and sure we all farm (myself included) but I do endulge in PvP (if someone is ever there looking for PvP). IMO the zone is not a PvP zone... instead it is a Farming Zone. I think when you enter a message should come up saying "Farm to your hearts content and enjoy the nice rewards without being bothered by other players!".

/em rant end

P.S Do something about it Devs!

EDIT: And if you were to remove Heavies, this would make it harder to beat a Level 54 Boss Turret. Easy way around that. Oh look. Level 50 Boss Turret. Problem fixed. This would work since half the population of CoH can solo Boss catagory enemies +2 to their level (well I can anyway). And making them Level 50 would dramatically lower the rewards you get instead of getting half a bar of EXP from killing four Level 54 Bosses. Basically... nerf the zone. And if they do, it will be the best nerf we've had... since they nerfed something they shouldn't have (looks at Instant Healing power in Stalker's power tray).

You very rarely see Dark melee Stalkers? is there a reason? should i steer clear? Cheers for any insight


[/ QUOTE ]

Because Dark Melee is the most crappy Stalker Primary there is!

I would take Ninja Blade or Martial Arts if I was to re-roll my Stalker (who is Claws/Regen and dearly hated ).

Can someone shed some light on which one would be better? I'd like to benefit for teams but also be able to solo (only the odd badge mission, not a great deal). I can see how the two sets are both good but I have come to a halt on which one to choose.

O_O

NEVER SLOT A HOLD WITH DAMAGE ENHANCEMENTS!

Why people do that is beyond me!

I have mine slotted 2Acc / 2Hold / 2Rech.
But 1Acc / 3Hold / 2Rech is good too. But NEVER EVER slot a Hold for damage. It is entirely pointless. If I found you have done this I will come and hunt you down!

Ok. I re-did my build with the advice given.

Is that better?

In English please? I do not know anything about numbers or what the hell EPS (Endurance Per Second I am guessing?) means! I have never even looked at numbers before!

You're really gonna have to tone that down. I looked at it and thought "... what?".

So I am a loser at life because I PvP? ... ROFL! Yeah... right! People who say things like that just suck at PvP and get pwned all the time because they spam "Cheat!" and "I'll have a one on one with you if you don't use <insert power here>!". Pfft!

Flitz is the same as the character I am planning. Great minds think alike

And... PvP is something I would like so I think I'll stick to my original build of 2 Acc / 3 Dmg! Thank you for the advice though!

Well I could replace one of the Acc enhances for an End Rdx enhance. Or would I still miss until I get Focused Accuracy?

Hi all.

I have a Scrapper who is currently sat at Level 28 and she totally rocks. She can solo perfectly! But (there's always one of 'em isn't there?) I am beginning to wonder which is better? Super Reflexes or Invulnerability?

Super Reflexes is all about dodging so if you get hit it will hurt. Invulnerability is about taking the damage, but being a Scrapper I do find myself in the need of heals. I have made two builds with the powers and slots I would and have taken in the case of my current Scrapper.

That is the Super Reflexes one.


I have made them how I would so if you think I am mad for not taking Aid Other and then Aid Self... well I wont finish that sentence.

Please feel free to criticise, slag off or praise anything. Ideas and opinions much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any replies, Rap

Believe it or not, my Stalker was meant for PvE! But a quick Respec balanced that out. It is true that Stalkers have the advantage of being un-seen in a PvE zone but that is the point of the Archetype to begin with so furthering your ability to be un-seen advances it. But there are ways around it so I think it is equally balanced... sorta :-\

Pfft! Prug you've nailed me many times with your Scrapper whilst I have Hide + Invisability on. Or was that a combo of Super Reflexes, Tactics and a few yellows?

Wow! That's an awesome drawing! You look exactly like the girl who was in PD last night
