I know this thread is a little old now but no point in making a new one...

Has the forum migration changed the way the character copy tool works at all? Because i can't sign in. Every time i try i get a blank page.

She's been busy posting on twitter..... There was almost panic over a missing tongue smiley!

Same here lol.

Lo' to the EU folk.


And howdy to teh Americans spying on our forum

The CoH website i guess, not the forums.

Just hijacking this thread with a comment about said message...


Does it really have to "post" it self in my chat box every time i zone..... I don't think so.

I'm sure Paragon Wiki will have info on figures but i manually work things out so not sure.


Defenders in zones get 40% resistance to all and from another 45% from temp Invulnerability. However, after DR, the total is only 45%.

Yes, that's making the base resist pointless really. Oh well.

Don't rely on mids figures, they're not all accurate regarding PvP stuff. Just use as a guideline.

For example, fenders don't have capped resistance to all unless your in arena and you've turned DR off.

I some times get this when something is being grumpy. Mostly on Union.

The way i work around it is to click on Defiant, highlight a toon, then back up to server selection and pick Union again.

I don't know what that does and i don't know why it helps but it does lol.

That's next weekend

You may have inputted your details wrong the first time by mistake and because you've tried again it thinks your a fraudster. It's nothing to worry about though, the "fraud" warning automaticly drops after a set unknown period of time. Just means you can't get your SB:3 today.

If you did put your details in right then contact your bank and ask why it was refused.


Aptum....

Unfortunately that sounds like you bought a US code... So i'm sure support will sort that out for you, even if it will be slow assistance.

The rule of 5 applies to every bonus available. The advantage of the lotg +recharge IO though is while you can only have 5 of them, you can also have 5x 7.5% recharge set bonuses from set's like kinetic crash and sting of the manticore.

f.x. you can only have +12% regen on five sets, if you have a 6th that gives +10% that doesn't count.

[/ QUOTE ]

Of course the 6th +10% regen will count, you only have one 10% bonus.

Aye, i realise the AoE pet buffs are huge improvement from the old ST buff method but i still think it takes too long.

I'm very impatient so it may seem longer to me than it actually is but i know setting up after every death would drive me potty after 2-3 times. Hence my opinion on way MM's aren't good in zonal.

Finger lickin good iirc?

Not quite.... That would've been even better tbh lol

On a side note however about the previous arc if the devs/gm's get round to it, its designed for a large team of 8 or so and is extremely difficult the further you get in!

[/ QUOTE ]

Dude... Have you just warned the developers of this game that your mish is hard?

I'm pretty sure the [I win] button will just about get them through it

[ QUOTE ]
I just wanted to make it clear that I'll need to get your title of choice approved before I can give it to you ingame. Those yellow titles are quite noticeable above your character's head!

I hope we (the FBZ cozzy code lot) didn't get you into trouble?

After that comment, I'm tempted to see how you do VS the Bots/Traps of the in-game Alpha, Rent old chap

Sure... Always up for a fight. Though i hope you noticed i said MM's were no good in Zonal not MM's are no good in PvP :P

Well i'll start off with saying Dark is all kinds of awesome in PvP when built right. Zonal and arena. Corruptor ice blast is low on damage till scourge kicks in but it's not too low to the point of it being usless... Just means any fights will take a little longer, but no problem.

On to your questions.

1) As said above far from it. Dark is epic in PvP 2.0

2) I would gladly give you a Dark build to look at but i use Mids hero designer not SP's so it wouldn't be much use to you. As for strategy, that's something you'd need to work out yourself. There would be no point in anyone telling you how they play a character as you'll have your own play style which will then result in a new strategy being needed.

3) I would say it was both. The lack of skill will be the main problem but coupled with the fact that you're only running with basic IO's and your left with the reason why you die quick.

It will also depend on what your fighting. A blaster will more than likely steam roll you but a defender or controller would lead to more of an equal fight.

4)In my opinion no MM will be good in zonal PvP. Too much time is spent setting up pets after death which get's very annoying, very quick. Also, just like every AT when your outnumbered you'll go down quick but the MM flaw is if you move out of BG mode your dead anyway, no chance of escape.

As for the 2nd part of this question... A stalker would be best as a team mate for a domi.

5) US servers do have plenty more PvP than the EU but the same can be said for every group of the game. As for the Eu side of things you'll be better off stopping on Union rather than Defiant for PvP as there's loads more things going off.

Union might seem dead but it's far from it. Nothing like it used to be mind but there's always a decent sized PvP fight going off in RV every night and there's also arena fights going off throughout the day.

6) If you find a character you enjoy playing then yes there is. If you invest enough time into your chosen character to learn how to play it well and invest hundreds and hundreds of millions of inf to IO it to the best it can be there would be nothing stopping you from having a "signature" PvP hero or vill depending on you preference.


I'd suggest reading up on the i13 and to some degree i14 PvP changes so you can better understand how everything will work now seeing as you've been away for so long. Then go in game and practice till you've gotten to where you want to be. Take defeats with a pinch of salt but ask yourself "could i have done anything differently then to survive"

Hopefully that way to learning curve won't be too steep.he

One last thing to add is that by having a hero and villain both equipped for PvP is a really good idea so you always have something to use no matter who or what is in the zone so keep at your tank or fender (which ever one was yours)

Any other questions, feel free to ask


Rent.

Is golden.

If the servers could cope, we would. Last time we had an event in RV it resulted in unplayable lag.

Seems 50 people in one zone is breaking point.

I nominate arc 258941 Forging the Bond - Phoenix Force Arc 1/3 by Infurnus.


Just a very very good arc tbh.

although I won't get any purples that way I will at least get more drops, meaning more inf.

You can get purples from 47. So stopping xp at any of the last 3 levels is beneficial.

Can i have your stuff?

When Marvel tried to take NcSoft to court, claiming copyright infringement, because the character creator gave people the ability to create Marvel characters i'm sure it was laughed at by NcSoft.

NcSoft's argument was that Marvel would then have to sue every pencil and pen manufacturer as those items also give people the ability to draw the exact same Marvel characters but without any kind of policing.

I was told this by Rockjaw and Bridger at a player meet and unless Marvel tried to sue NcSoft twice (once for the in-game creator and once for the offline one) then i would be inclined to say they have no actual agreement with Marvel about the offline creator... They probably just removed it because it's not worth the hassle. Plus that would be another program they'd have to update.


On a side note, player created ones will probably be taken down because of NcSoft's IP not because of Marvel.

Aren't Solo cards those you get given when you are 16?

I'm sure you'd have more of an idea than me.
