The question is in the title. When you're playing CoX, what kills your enjoyment the most and makes you want to just take a break for awhile?

Reason I ask is because I was on an 8-man team earlier today and the leader insisted that we fight +0 council mobs. Imo, that's fine when you're trying to gauge the effectiveness of your PuG, but he kept it through every mission; and MAN was it boring. I think I stuck with the team for maybe 3 missions until I decided to leave and find another, but when I did quit, I just felt like...ugh. Anyways, that's just one of my buzzkills; don't get me started on rogue fire/kins.

While we're at it, can we make it easier to upgrade your enhances? Such as not having to say "Okay, I need 1..2...3...4..5..6..7...8...9 recharges" close screen, talk to clerk again, buy enhances, open enhance screen again, slot powers, rinse repeat?

What, am I the only person that has to count when they're slotting? I'd kinda prefer a simple, "Upgrade button." But that's a topic for another thread.

I think your best bet would be a scrapper then. In my experience with SD/Elec, everything's usually dead due to your Alpha strike (BU+SD/LR+SD/LR). With this in mind, what's there left to tank when your done?
Sure tanks can handle AV fights and longer battles more easily, but with enough IO investment, you'll hardly notice the difference imo.

A Fire/SS tank was actually the first tank I ever made back in 2004, and for some odd reason, he's still my favorite of all to play. But yeah, I pretty much retired him after they nerfed burn and have been waiting for a chance to bring him back out; which be soon due to the FA/ buff rumors that I've been hearing.

But anyways, anyone that ever does decide to make one, expect it to be a blast from lvl 1 to 50. Just don't expect much on the survivability side. =(

Reason: Requiring a support to be in the middle of a huge mob isn't neccsarily a good thing. They're very squishy with no resistances nor mez protection, it's just not a great design decision. Leave the melee to scrappers and tank, and leave the ranged support to the controllers and blasters. Also, the power favors melee AT a bit too much; as unless the blaster is within melee range as well (which 9 times out of ten) they shouldnt be, they dont benefit from the power.

Suggestion: Have it work similar to siphon power, meaning I can use it from range, and still get the maximum benefit out of it. Also, have it so the maximum effect is transferred to allies both around the mob and around the castor.

A player can dream cant he?

If it means that they're going to fix all the server issues that have seem to become more and more prominent over the past week or so, than by all means, they can take all the time they need.

If you're referring to the actual "power" named stealth, than no, not in my opinion. I feel that it's reduced movement speed and lack of being actually able to stealth is far outweighs it's only pro, which is a small defense bonus.
However, if you're referring to the power Invisibility, than yes, it's a very useful power; particuarly on TFs and such when your team just wants to get it done. Note however that Invisibility can often times be useless without a recall friend from the teleportation pool, seeing as how often times the glowie or hostage is surrounded by a big mob, meaning you may not be able to take them yourself and need some backup.
Just watch out for Rikti, arachnos and rularuu, as they're the only ones(off the top of my head) that can see through invisibility.

Hope this helps.

Sounds solid. /signed

Hey guys, so I just recently rolled a ill/kin controller and therefore, I am subject to the infamous "Sb Plz" requests. I don't mind giving the entire team sb because for me, if their powers and footspeed are moving faster, than things are dieing quicker, which is good.

My only issue is, the whole *Scroll to teammate name, click, scroll to sb, click; then rinse repeat 7x's" really annoys me. Does anyone have any bind shortcuts that they use to make this process more keyboard friendly? Such as maybe, *tab, F7, rinse repeat?* Or something along those lines.

P.S. I know I could just opt to not take SB and not worry about it in general, but I always get a bit peeved when the kin on my team doesn't have it; don't want to be a hypocrite.

Actually, this has been suggested before but one of the devs came to the thread and had to shoot it down, I believe it was BaB (don't quote me on that). But yeah, similar to before, everyone was all aboard the idea, even myself.

I personally asked for the death emote of you fall to the ground and recieve a chalk outline around your body . If things have changed since then, they may implement it, if they haven't, well then chances are, not.

With the Vet reward City Traveler, does anyone with it still take the pre-requisite power needed for their travel powers? Reason I ask is because I could easily take that slot and pick up something else, but is it wise?

I'm currently playing an Invuln tank and have CJ & SJ. I would drop CJ but I dont know if I'll miss the extra mobility, not to mention the small defense buff you get from it. I know on my blaster, I dropped hover and only took fly - no problem; but for some builds, it's a bit more tricky.

Any thoughts on this?

I'm sure this has been brought up before but I feel that a topic like this needs to be discussed every once in awhile so that hopefully the devs will take action.

The spawns in the reactor room need to be either made faster or stronger...

I can understand why the current system is what it is for the first respec trial (the one in Independence Port) as players are just diving into SOs and haven't really gotten their big hitter attacks so they may need the additional time. But for the Founder's Falls and Peregrine Island, it's absolutely pathetic at how easy and boring the reactor is. Honestly, it it were left to me, I'd do a complete overhaul of the reactor and make it something similar to the last mission of Faathim of the Kind's TF; you walk in, the enemies are already there and preparing their attack and then - madness (If you can't tell, I'm a scrapper/tank at heart) .

I'm not asking for much, just something challenging, but overall, fun. Think about it, when was the last time you actually used one of those coolant belts to heal the reactor?

Just my 2 cents of the matter.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if a theme song for us scrappers was ever decided on? And if so, what is it?
Or maybe even, which songs do you think best represents the scrapper?
For me, it's this one..... =P

Your pacify description made me laugh so hard, lol.

Anyways, I like all of them except for speed's and flight's. Just to throw my 2 cents in, I'd suggest for speed a power along the line of something like:

"Vibration (click power) - You can vibrate your body so fast that you begin to actually leave this plain of existence. The next few attacks targeted at you will pass right through you. However, staying in this new dimension can be dangerous, so time spent in this state is barred to only 5 secs per activation."
- Think of it as a shorter form phaseshift, with the ability to attack.

For Flight, I'd say: "Sonic Boom - Sometimes sight-seeing just isnt an option. When this power is activated, the hero/villain breaks the sound barrier and begins flying at unprecedent speeds. However, the sudden burst of momentum restricts the hero to only flying in a static direction and also drains them of a considerable amount of endurance in the process. (This is to keep it from being too OP'd from the other T'powers)"

As for Teleportation, simple: "Sudden Strike - This attack transports the hero directly in front of his enemy and delivers a crushing blow. (Of course, the enemy would be a targeted one.)"

Just my 2 cents.
