When was your latest update on the launcher? I believe somewhere last week there was an update that made the launcher non-responding for several people. (where re-install was the easiest/cheapest way).

Exact same issue here, Ati drivers, no doubt. CoH just hates Ati, or Ati hates OpenGL, in short... only in time maybe there will be more stable drivers.

Tomax got it nicely shown on all fiery embrace buffable powers (melee set of brute and tanker etc).

For example:
http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/power...attle_Axe.Gash

•44.49 Lethal damage PvE only
•20.02 Fire damage (0% chance)

When you hit fiery embrace, the 0% becomes a 100% chance.

There is a Freakshow mission (and also a Carnival version i believe?), wich kinda reasemble how the old PDP looked like. Lemme dig through some screenshots, i think i still have some.

Kinda the reason i gave up blasters. Yeah they ditch out more damage then their 'counterparts' (domi, defender, corrupter), but those nearly have all some sort of status protection where controller can get additonal mez-protection from Psionic mastery (though base cooldown of 360, having it up 50% of the time by just 3 recharge SO's give its great value).

Also you have the stun grenades, wich (if they are equal to the AR M30 grenade) is a AoE typed ability and bypass your ranged defense completly. Against rikti i just gave up, you can basicly have a tray full and still get mezzed while getting whooped by a rikti blade.

Blasters are fun in a party where someone else is taking the beating, thats where i like to do my thing. Solo, no way.

I came to the point to start a dual boot with Win7 32bit and 64bit, as under no circumstances the 32bit Windows 7 crashes. Both clients were idle in Atlas AE near peaktime, where my 64bit locks pretty much every 20-25 minutes, the 32bit just keeps running without a single problem.

The only crash i had so far on 32bit was during stresstest few days ago, but i gues thats more the timeout of the mapserver then the client itself.

Ageless destiny is new, Tier9 endcrash been around since they made the powers. There are quite a few ways to continue the fight after you popped the tier9. Just pop a few blue and you should be ok untill your recovery kicks back in, from Ice epic you can take hibernate wich gives you a new recovery, an empatch can use that errr.. recovery buff on you, kin troller/defender can use the end-gain power (old days people would actualy pay attention to what others were doing, rather then just spam stuff). /elec and /fire blasters have the +end drain power (dark too?).

Solo its mostly a 'oooooh foook!' moment, where the ice blaster version is probably one of the strongest versions (knockdown and flee) in terms of survivability (pop a blue and use the 2 holds to shut down possible bosses).

Agree, incarnate power does bring the 'frequent' use of the T9 nuke, but the way to handle with crash-nukes is the same as 16 issues ago.

Gave me lotsa time to play around on the beta server with the powerset

And it looks damn juicy, 9% base defense, 12% base tohit-debuff, heal, rechargebonus, i say very viable for my new farm corrupter

I can recall there was a topic about this back on the old EU forums, believe it was bridger that gave more info about this.

But boils down indeed to the part most were just fictional, later some were modified and became 'ingame heroes'.

Combined with the maintaince, it was nearly a full day downtime.

Personaly the most annoying part was the fact initialy mostly EU players and early US players were online when they started parties on Pocket D. They started giving out random codes for costumes, but as time passed more and more US people came online.

Eventualy Avatea (who did a awsome job though, and she is shy on the webcam!) was doing a rock/paper/scissors match with a huge bunch of US players, maybe would give out few remaining EU codes afterwards. At 1am the US thingie was still going, its pretty lame that the 'few little good thingies for EU players' was overwhelmed with US players comming online.

I did enjoy the Ustream, but eventualy was way too much trashtalk going on.

From all my years of tanking with every tank-set around, far out Granite (stone) remains 1 of the toughest to take down, but Inv comming pretty close second due the huge defense they gain from their toggle (and tohit).

But there is no tank that can jump in any given group of mobs, positional defense typed will have a huge advantage versus Psi based mobs (wich is the weakness on many tanksets), but they also have lesser resistance to migiate the hits that will pass their defenses.

With only Granite (and stoneskin) you hit cap SL and nearly 80% resist all-non-psi, 32% defense to all except Psi, you can bump this up with Weave, Manu and 3% global to push it near the 45% softcap. From there a bunch of sets you can easily take away the -60% recharge (im at 67.50% atm).

As you take tough/weave (incase you want the 45% softcap), you can even tank pre-32 content, not perfectly par with other tanks, but with a pretty heavy defense against E/NE, Psi and S/L, along with moderate resistance against fire/ice. But the drawback, you have to use rooted to have mez-protection, so you will be still slow and stuck to the floor.

To bump up your survival even further, ice melee. With huge ammount of -slow, a single target hold, a knockdown icepatch (perma) and a AoE footstomp-alike sleep (same dmg/recharge). True, doesnt work against AV's, but against missions, icepatch keeps down several mobs at a time

As for the perma, it will change like the Tier9 from Shield and willpower, unaffected by recharge bonus/buffs so it will always hve a cooldown (well, unless you use afterburner once).

Since when does blaster got /kinetic?

This might be linked to the server goofing up, since the last update people have issues with 'stuck on activating clickies' and sometimes entirely vanishing buff/debuff icons.

In short, this more likely due some serverside issues then MM pets itself.

Yeah maintaince till 11.15pm, lets up the entire day of downtime

Rule #1 : Never.ever.touch.Granite

Serious, never.

Granite is what granite always has been, pre-ED, pre-hitcap, pre-villains, pre-IO's and pre-everything.
