Smurphy

I was looking at applying my SS/Elec Brute with oodles of IOs to a Tanker. It was in the 80% S/L, 60% F/C resists, 32ish Second Energize, 600% Regeneration and 20%ish Defense along with PermaHasten to churn out the Foot Stomps.

I think that's pretty good.

Me, Tark, Hobo and Rat.

Why aren't you out playing the game, finding stuff, and selling it on the market for these outrageous prices?

There's also significant differences in lag on mission 3 on different servers. After doing it for a year or however long its been out on Freedom... I can run up the hill and trigger all the ambushers on Victory and consider it "playable". I guess that means my standards have been crushed.

At minimum, you want Rage to recharge in about 115 seconds so you can turn it on before it goes down. I believe this keeps the defense crash from occuring. Sometimes that doesn't matter and you can wait until about 5-8 seconds into the crash to turn on Rage again so you have a few more seconds of smashing stuff every cycle.

It depends on your accuracy. Stacking Double-Rage on Brutes is outrageously over-rated. A SS Brute should measure his damage in Foot Stomps: "This pack takes 3 Foot Stomps" "That pack takes 4 Foot Stomps" "This one two". Unless you go from 4-->3 or 3--2 etc. then you don't really improve your killing speed. All you do is increase Rage crashes. Accuracy is different. Some Brutes will need more Rage to hit some high defense enemies. If you feel that at times you want the bonus accuracy from double Rage, or very rarely the bonus damage to overcome a fierce foe, increase your recharge in it as much as possible.

Personally, I just slot a single To-Hit in Rage on my SS/X Brutes with Hasten and IO set bonuses. Some have a few To Hit set IOs specifically for the bonuses, ignoring the recharge slotted in Rage.

Thanks for posting that for me... uh... Chriffer.

The Golden Rule doesn't apply at all... ever... anywhere.

When I act like an idiot or say something stupid I want people to tell me that I'm acting like an idiot or doing something stupid. In my personal experience with my application with the Golden Rule (and I assure you, I've got a lot) this doesn't work out so well.

Just like everything else it is fine with proper endurance reduction slotting. Put two (or the equivelent) in your attacks and more in those or other powers if needed.

There's no other way to say this...

If you play the game, shoot the bad guys, and sell your stuff on the market and you can't afford common salvage then you are an idiot.

I think something with Ice/ would be at the top. Lots of fast activating single target attacks. Freeze Ray pretty much single-handedly can control every single player spawn. I'm not even sure if you'd even bother using your secondary with Freeze Ray.

I've done many many all Cor ITFs. Speed runs with all Cors can easily get below 25 minutes with experienced players.

Most often my friends and I run it Fallout style. We crank up the difficulty and try and kill each other. Our best is 2.28 Deaths per minute, Relentless, Enemies buffed and players debuffed. Only skipped lag hill on mission 3. That's 153 deaths in 67 minutes on that difficulty essentially killing everything between us and them. I think that's a pretty good description of what an all Corruptor team can do

Go hunt. Kill skulz.

What can you defeat in this game and NOT get common salvage, or tickets, or merits or something to sell and buy common salvage?

It's common salvage. It's still common salvage. Go shoot something.

I don't think any of these suggestions accomplish anything other than removing some "sticker shock" feelings players get. Perhaps there will be a small affect on a small portion of the player base. However, most of these suggestions will not make it easier for players to obtain items. Most of these suggestions will not make more players have access to items.

(copy/paste)
One thing to keep in mind is the difference between a change in the money level and rampant unchecked inflation. The 10% fee keeps the second from occuring. Simply, players cannot/will not produce enough Inf to make each item cost 2 Billion and burn 200 million in fees. Prices in CoH will not continue to rise indefinitely.

An increase in Inf relative to items is one thing. That's like changing from Earth orbit to Saturn Orbit. There's just more Inf in the system. There's "rising prices" going from one position to the other but eventually it will stop. This is what we have in game today. It may be a large change and it may still be changing but eventually it will stop.



Rampant inflation is another thing. That's more and more inf being produced and always existing. If there was no 10% fee this would occur. It's like a spiraling orbit always getting larger. There's no end. This does not occur in City of Heroes.



If sticker shock is really such a big deal they should simply knock off a digit on everything and round up. That will make all the numbers appear smaller. That's all that most of these suggestions accomplish.

Roll something with Fallout and team with me or some other people who like wild, reckless, care free play

One of my favorite powers I use it to kill teammates and move bodies around.

Recall Friend has that obnoxious interupt time, a longer animation and a prompt for players. Team teleport let's me jump over a body and put it right where I want it in relatively no time at all.

Also, I like to kill teammates.

It's possible to do it in about that much time. I've done it in about 5 and 1/2. I can see how doing it in about 4 flat is possible without "exploits". I have trouble understanding how it can be much lower than that without exploits. I would LOVE to be proven wrong A simple 15 minutes demonstration with herostats out would suffice my skepticism.
