I think 4 shards or 20 threads per day would be more fair.

That's 1 uncommon component.

Maybe 5,000 tickets for 2 shards or 10 threads and you can claim each reward twice per day.

This. And he tends to wander from where he's supposed to spawn.

Someone needs to put some Scooby Snacks (or Nachos) below his spawn point so he stays down!

I don't think the article really touches on anything that we haven't already speculated on ourselves here on the forums.

But for what it's worth, I think that Going Rogue needed to happen to get us where we are today. It's one of those things where you have to have something bad (or just not good) happen in order to build upon it and make it better. A foundation is a foundation whether it's good or bad.

Going Rogue did have some good things going for it - the seamless zone transitions, the world zone mission specific glowies (new tech), Ultra Mode, and the alignment system, to name a few.

As far as the Paragon Market goes, I have a love-hate relationship for it. I'm happy that it brings in an influx of cash for the game but I still feel that it needs some work. Being able to purchase enhancements in the store still doesn't sit well with me. I understand the "why" of it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it

Either way, I hope CoH stays strong for another 8 years and then some. It's ~$15/mo well spent in my eyes. On demand entertainment for $0.50/day? You can't beat that.

LOL! I don't know whether to be excited about that or pity anyone who plays it.

Imagine walking down the street and on your HUD you get a little prompt saying "Wild Pokemon appears" and a little avatar pops on the screen. Then you engage in a battle, but you get really into it and turn your cap backward and throw your imaginary Pokeball all the while people are staring at you wondering what in the hell you were smoking and where they can get some. Too priceless!


Until Skynet becomes self aware and decides that humans are a virus that needs to be exterminated. It could happen! I mean, couldn't it? Bueller? Bueller? ;-;

But just because we're not dealing with the problems you mentioned doesn't mean we wouldn't be dealing with completely different problems resulting in the same outcome.

In the interim, I'm perfectly happy with the NY Public Transportation System.

Yea, when you start talking recharge and proc chance numbers that goes way beyond my knowledge

Hopefully someone else can chime in on that regard.

Knowledgeable folks have suggested to me that you get more mileage out of the -Res proc in Burn. So I trust their judgement.

As far as the Fury proc, it was my understanding that it worked best in a quick recharging power. I spam Burn like crazy so I figured it was my best bet.

For what it's worth, I love my build and this is (at the moment) my most fun toon to play.

On my TW/Fire brute I have burn 3-slotted with Brute ATO (including the +Fury one) and 3 slotted with Fury of the Gladiator (including the -Res proc) and I absolutely love it.

My fury bar is always maxed out and when it drops, it shoots back up very quickly.

One word: Lag

Go onto a mission map and test it.

Open world zone events tend to cause lag and/or disconnect between the server (even if you don't fully experience it).

Maybe I'm not using the correct technical reason for why it happens, but for argument's sake, try out the Perma-Dom on an instanced mission map and see how that goes. If it works fine, then you were having some type of lag during the zone event. If you still have the issue where it's not perma, then that's something that needs to be explored further.

I try to get at least the Atlas Medallion on the characters that I play regularly.

Depending on what I'm doing, or if I'm exemping, I also use SG Buff Stations - especially the +Recharge, +Recovery and +Knockback Protection. Those come in handy big time for TFs - and they last 45 minutes, which is very nice.

Since I bought a lot of the Super Packs, I have Team Inspirations in my mailbox. I tend to use those on TFs for an extra edge. I used a few on an ITF last night. Were they needed? Probably not. But it's nice to have a Team t2 Breakfree on everyone. They last 5 minutes. At the final battle with Romulus, you don't have to run out every time a Nictus resurrects him.

The Envenomed Dagger is a nice debuff to have also. It's one of the few temp powers that I use often. It's very nice on the Cathedral of Pain trial too.

I'm also a big fan of Secondary Mutation and Mystic Fortune. Even the "bad" buffs are good buffs!

(My opinions are based on level 50+ content and builds with IOs and Incarnate slots unlocked. If you're looking for a level-up opinion, just skip this)

I have two Titan Weapons brutes and I love them both very much.

I have a TW/Elec and a TW/Fire. If I had to say which has more survivability, I would go with the TW/Elec. Not to say that my TW/Fire dies a lot, because it doesn't, I just think that the TW/Elec dies less. (In reference to 50+ content)

TW/Fire is a monster at AOE damage. Extra recharge from Luck of the Gambler 7.5%s definitely help with Build Momentum coming up quickly.

Oh, TW itself is very endurance heavy so you will need ways to mitigate that. Elec's +end power (I forget the name) has a decent base recharge and gets better with slotting. You also get an endurance discount every time you use Energize. Fire has Consume, which is on a higher recharge time. For my TW/Fire, I opted to go with the Cardiac Alpha for the global endurance reduction. That, plus Consume, basically made my endurance problems vanish.

tl;dr version

TW/Elec = more robust build/durable, less damage (compared to Fire)
TW/Fire = awesome AoE damage (Burn ftw), a little squishier than Elec

Both of my brutes are rocking around 50% Smashing/Lethal defense, in addition to their respective capped resistances (fire, elec).

That's why I'm asking.

Once per offer could also be interpreted as once that particular day it's being offered.

As in, you can only claim your goodie once for that day (no double dipping).

Ah well, can't wait for more info on the promotion

I hope we get more information about this.

I'm curious to see what's not included in the pool of freebie items, more specifically, if it's an account unlock, and you're VIP, how that affects you.

I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, just genuinely curious as to what we can expect.

So with that, Thank You Paragon Studios for this nice little perk!

That means that the airlines are actually Decepticons!?

Let's just hope that the cars aren't accessed by your Google Account.

I can Google having an App for remote ignition and driving for that matter.

"Don't want to take that pie to Mrs. Smith's house down the block? Load the pie into your GoogleCar and from the convenience of your Smart Phone have your car take it there!"

Annnnd before you know it, your account gets hacked and your car is missing.

I also hope that the cars have a "manual override" built in that disconnects it from whatever AI is controlling it.

You can now queue for Task Forces and Trials in addition to Incarnate Trials via the LFG System.

So, you're not dealing with just instanced events anymore. Task Forces and Trials require you to travel through different zones and sometimes require interaction with street mobs.

While I can definitely see the benefits of this type of technology, it also scares the pancakes out of me.

If we get to the point where everything we do is automated, we will forget how to do anything the "old fashioned way."

I mean, how many people still memorize phone numbers? Cell phones have pretty much made that unnecessary with the built in phone book and internet access. Don't know a number? Just look it up. And then when you lose your cell phone, or breaks, you're suddenly posting on Facebook asking people to text you their numbers because you lost it.

But I digress

I love technology just as much as the next person but it still scares me the direction things are going in.

Google's HUD

Character/Account items never expire. They're claimed through the email system but aren't actually emails - you can't forward them for example.

I agree with Alpha in that I think your best option (if you've already claimed the items then re-emailed them) would be to just claim them and put them in the enhancement tray of one of your characters.

If you're looking for a "leveling up" suggestion, I can't help.

But at level 50, with some slotting, Fire/Kinetic Controllers are pretty smashy.

I play mine the same way I play my Brutes/Scrappers ^.^ Charge in head first, get aggro, and smash!

If you're looking for more of a support role than a smashy/damage roll, you could always try an Earth/Cold Controller (lots of control, nice buffs/debuffs) or some flavor of Dominator.
