Have you tried accepting the new contact and then talking to him again?
You don't have to do the contact's missions.
If he's still not talking to you then i'd say it is broken. -

Quote:Well, it's easier to debuff a target's -regen to the point that it won't regain any health than it is to calibrate damage on a per-foe basis to counteract regen and adjust accordingly. Also, as i recall (and i may be wrong), Arcanaville posted that the Devs had given some consideration to adding -regen to cage powers. i'm betting on adding debuffs being a more likely solution.Originally Posted by Jade_Dragon
Well, it just seems to me that since Detention Shield (or for that matter, Sonic Cage) on a foe precludes you and your team being able to damage it, it would be nice if some damage were dealt to compensate, even if only partially. And it WOULD be in concept, in JLU Green Lantern was seen to use his bubbles to "suffocate" foes, or to contain their own attacks so they would knock themselves out.
At the very least, a -regen would be nice, so the foe doesn't come out of the cage better off than when he went in. An amount of damage than counters his regen would accomplish the same thing. -

Evil, evil object.
Basically, it has a chance of spawning enemies based on the number of enemies hit by an auto-hit pulse. Difficulty settings don't much matter, since they are spawned via the powers system rather than the standard spawn system.
There are tactics you can use to minimize its effects, and, due to the nature of it's powers, Masterminds, Dominators and Controllers are at a bit of a disadvantage.

Quote:Gah! That's what i get for quoting an old guide.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
I feel the need to yet again tell people that you can't use LALT, RALT, LCTRL, RCTRL, LSHIFT, or RSHIFT as cord keys.
You can use any of them as a stand alone key, but not as a modifier key.
To recap:
LALT+<key>, RALT+<key> = ALT+<key>
LCTRL+<key>, RCTRL+<key> = CTRL+<key>
LSHIFT+<key>, RSHIFT+<key> = SHIFT+<key>
Any guide that suggests otherwise is misleading you.
i always just use ALT or CTRL anyway.
Corrected original post as well. -

Right-click your icon, choose Properties, and find the button that says "Change Icon". You can pick one of the old icons from there.
In the same window, in the field labeled "Target", my shortcut says:
WITH the quotes. I get the blue loading screen.Code:"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe"
-uiskin 0 gives the blue CoH screen.
-uiskin 1 gives the red CoV screen.
-uiskin 2 gives the gold GR screen. -

With Force Bolt's damage that would be nothing
The former is nice, but i think the latter is unlikely. There were some interesting ideas presented for improving "cage" powers in the GR beta involving adding debuffs like a massive -regen. Those seem more likely.Quote:OTOH, Repulsion Bomb getting damage was a really nice change. And I think if Detention Field did DoT to the foe held within it for its duration, it might be a more useful power, too.
Oh, and it's also true that Force Fields does nothing for a Defender's secondary, just like it adds nothing to a Corruptor's primary. After all, Defenders have ranged damage as their secondary focus.

We'll clarify the RSVP method asap. Since it is an NCsoft M&G we still have a few details to work out before we can do that.
And no, you don't need a Comic-Con pass to attend the Meet & Greet. You do need one for the panel though

Quote:That FF was excluded for game mechanic/design concept reasons makes sense. i don't necessarily agree with it, but since they've proliferated Trick Arrow i see no reason for Force Fields to not follow.Originally Posted by Trickshooter
I don't think Corruptors had Force Fields to start because the set lacked debuffs. Looking at the original sets for Corruptors, they didn't get any sets that weren't a combination of buffs and debuffs (TA, Empathy, and FF), and got replacement sets that were similar to at least two of the sets they didn't get (Thermal and Cold). I don't think it had anything to do with not being villainous enough, since MMs got it.
i'm willing to bet there's a lot of players who would've preferred pairing Force Fields with the Corruptor attack sets and inherent over having to wrangle pets or use severely underpowered attacks to also have Force Fields redside. Of course if you have Going Rogue now it's fairly easy to take a Defender redside, but some people love their Scourge.Quote:As for why they don't have it now, I think a large part of the reason is the current design of the set. Not what it does, but how it does it. Looking at the effects, and using the same modifiers, Corruptor FF would be almost a duplicate of the MM version in the values of effects most people care about.
Hey, at least Force Bolt would do more damage.Quote:Corr PFF would actually give less defense and resistance than the MM version because of the melee modifier it uses.
Deflection Shield would be the same.
Force Bolt would do more damage for Corrs, but do the same amount of KB as MMs.
Insulation Shield would give the same Defense, but Corrs would grant 17.2% more end drain and recovery debuff resistance.
Detention Field would be the same.
Dispersion Bubble would be the same Defense, but Corrs would get 1.72 more protection from mez at 50.
Repulsion Field would be the same.
Repulsion Bomb would do more damage for Corrs, but do the same amount of KB and have the same duration on the Stun.
Force Bubble would be the same.

Quote:There's a guide to creating binds here.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
You can use it as such, Vitality. You just have to rebind the keys to do so.
/bind numpad1 "powexec_slot 1"
...
/bind numpad0 "powexec_slot 10"
A lot of people prefer to use their numpad for situational binds instead of attacks, though. For instance, it's a great way to control a Mastermind's pets while still keeping access to their personal powers on the top row of number keys.
This section may be of particular interest:
Activating Powers by Slot
* /bind <key> “powexec_slot <number of slot for wanted power on tray>” Execute the power indicated by the number on the bottom row of the power tray. Examples from Grotus/Arzen535/Storyteller:
/bind numpad1 "powexec_slot 1"
/bind numpad2 "powexec_slot 2"
/bind numpad3 "powexec_slot 3"
/bind numpad4 "powexec_slot 4"
/bind numpad5 "powexec_slot 5"
/bind numpad6 "powexec_slot 6"
/bind numpad7 "powexec_slot 7"
/bind numpad8 "powexec_slot 8"
/bind numpad9 "powexec_slot 9"
/bind numpad0 "powexec_slot 10"
/bind mbutton "powexec_slot 9"
* /bind <key> “powexec_altslot <desired slot>” Executes the power in the alternate slot indicated. Alternate slot indicates the row on your power tray NOT on the bottom. Examples from Grotus:
/bind alt+numpad1 "powexec_altslot 1"
/bind alt+numpad2 "powexec_altslot 2"
/bind alt+numpad3 "powexec_altslot 3"
/bind alt+numpad4 "powexec_altslot 4"
/bind alt+numpad5 "powexec_altslot 5"
/bind alt+numpad6 "powexec_altslot 6"
/bind alt+numpad7 "powexec_altslot 7"
/bind alt+numpad8 "powexec_altslot 8"
/bind alt+numpad9 "powexec_altslot 9"
/bind alt+numpad0 "powexec_altslot 10" -
i'm pretty sure you can set the numpad keys to trigger tray powers under options, or simply write a bindfile to do it. With a bindfile you can even assign them to work with the alt keys for your secondary tray.
Edit: Not having done this myself i don't have a file set up to do that to show you. -

My sympathies, we've all run into Death Squads here and there, and I agree that there is nothing even remotely fun about them. What contact gives this day at the beach out?
Still not playing the game at all? -
Quote:Eh, i haven't felt the need and i've probably seen (and almost immediately disregarded) more of his posts than you have. He occasionally makes a somewhat valid point. (Almost by accident i think.) Mostly he just spews a bolus of half-baked assertions and off-target insults in fractured vaguely sentence-like word jumbles.Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
Wow, it wasn't even ME you were being insulting and dismissive of, and it got you on my ignore list.
That takes talent.
Personally i've never played an Empath past level 20 or so. Force Fields, Dark Miasma, Traps, and Radiation Emission suit my playstyle far more than Empathy. Force Fields i bubble up any teammates and focus on doing terrible things to the enemy. With the rest i mostly focus on doing terrible things to the enemy. -
