  3. I <3 my Spines/Fire. Slotted the way I am, I'm getting my heal back just in time, no need for Consume ( I use it as another attack) and doing fine with your Target Group. I'll PM it to you from Mids if you want to take a look at it.
  4. I was just on Protector (Asking friends if it is happening to them) when I logged out, I hit CoH (To do the HijackThis log) and now it's saying I have a 2 1/2 hour wait for it to update? My anti-virus hasn't caught anything, and my Updater shouldn't have deleted anything, but I'll have the HiJack this up ASAP.

  6. I've looked through the thread. That is how I got the /command on my pings.

    I'll do the CoH Helper and HijackThis now.
  7. I wouldn't mind a /small/ damamge buff to defenders, but I don't really wanna see a +rech inherit power. Like stated above, Rads and FFs won't use it much, and that makes them wanna be blasters with their attacks.

    Ex: Rad/Rad Defender. Toggle base Debuffs, with quick attacks already. +Rech Inherit to an already perma- Neutrino Bolt = worthless.

    I can see a TA/A Defender liking it a LOT, or even a Triple Dark Defender, but it's not ok for the class as a whole.

    Just my response to it all
  8. Ok, so I usually play on the Virtue, Guardian and Pinnacle servers, but now I can't access them without being Mapserved right off the bat.

    I've messed around with others servers, and found out I can only access Protector, Victory and Champion servers, which I have only 1 toon each on.

    I'm on the West Coast (Arizona) and i was wondering it was just maybe East Coast servers, until my friend told me Guardian is a West Coast server, one that I can't play on.

    Any hints or suggestions? I've restarted computer at least 4 times, Verified Files about 4 times, Anit-virus full scan twice, and even reinstalled the whole game from my CD (i3 when I bought it) twice. Still can't access my main servers.

    Update:
    Ok, I used the /netgraph 1 to see my ping, etc etc. On the three servers I can play on...
    Protector: Ping of 120
    Victory: Ping of 120-145
    Champion: Ping of 124-145
    The servers I play on often...
    Guardian: Ping of 745
    Pinnacle: Ping of 394-450
    Virtue: Ping of 1302

    Any suggestions? I called my interent provider, nothing is up on their end either. I didn't do anything to my computer, no new updates, etc.
  9. Looks good.
    With my Rad/Rad I went with a damage/end intensive build.
    I love to see him do damage, and rad isn't that well off in that category. debuffs are maxxed out, and since I like to play "Up in your face, in my debuffs where you can't hit me" style, I think it worked out fine.

    But I love your build too o.o;
    Hope it's fun ^^
  10. I gotta say, I don't see many sonics or Forcefields that much anymore. Since it's easy to hit soft-capped defense in the higher lvls, so why need them?
  11. I work tonight from 8-10pm. And then Saturday 2-5pm and then Sunday 8-10pm again. All PST. Anytimes but that works for me. I really don't know if we should play on 4th of July, and probably shoudl hang out with family.

    Me saying this when my family are all out of town camping and I get stuck working cause it's our busiest time of the year... T.T ...oh well.
  12. I wouldn't mind jumping it. Global me @Strike Katana.

    Usually, virtuebadges09 and Virtue LFG Alpha has ITF talk all the time. Along with other TF/SFs and the such. I could probably get some friends as well if we need to fill out the team.
  13. Well, Stormy finally pointed me to the right thread! x.x

    I saw that the old thread was gone, and I just waiting in game for any info from you guys XD

    Anyways, last time was fun. One time, we should just have fun and roleplay. ^^
  14. *Scared of Sheckitis.*
    This'll be interesting...
  15. Congraz on 5 years. I hope to be there! I don't have plans (yet) So I'll pencil you guys in
  16. Nice.
    I hope I can get a team together for this... I got tossed into a random team last time and we didn't do so well cause we haven't teamed together/didn't know how we played.

    I'll definately have a team, If my two friends say ok.
  17. Your right Mngwa...

    But Banes don't "suck" they are a Villain Epic ArcheType for a reason. They are made for people to use them how every they feel like. Just like the Hero Epic ArcheType, they have choices on what they want to be. They take time to work with and find the exact way you like to use it. Just because it's "not the way" you want it, doesn't mean you can respec and try a different way. If you want a T9... go Widow. If you want more defense, make a Crab. They made it so each path is different so you can choose.

    I think the Devs like the Banes how they are, so do I. I do more damage than a Stalker (slotted the same way) and I can take a beating (Cause I slotted for Def/Rech). Just depends on how you want to do it and how you execute it.

    Note: Yes. I have invested 1.1B into my build so far and still not done. That's with no purples too. Yes, I do have 41% def to all but Psionics (23%) and 69% to Ranged. I'm not Pure Melee (Took Mace Beam and Spirit Shark). And it's not hard to get money (now) because of AE and the Recipe rolls. Take advantage of that.

    I'm done. Go ahead and tear my post apart ^^ I really would like some criticism and if you want, Tell me on the boards and I can give you a look at my build.
  18. Oh... a Bane talk...

    My bane, Spider Scout, is great in both PvE and PvP. I only took single target hits; Pulverize, Shatter, Mace Blast, etc; and I took all my defensive powers + Leadership Maneveurs. I was doing great in PvE against minions/Lts and they had a 65% chance to hit without me slotted. I single targeted them all to death, and moved to the next group. Slotted he's even better, I hit Defense cap on S/L and close to it with Fire/Cold and NRG/Neg. Soloing he's a beast, and with a team I still get suprised looks from the other ATs on how well he does.

    Like every AT, building/slotting is the best way to find the true potential of the AT. Even if it is one like the Bane. *Shrugs* Sure he doesn't have a T9, but slotted makes me almost good enough to the point I don't need one. I still die, not saying he's a tank, but played right and their true potential comes out. (I didn't grab my T9 on any of my scrappers cause it's useless once slotted)

    Now for my rants ^^
    Animation Times: Yes, they are a bit long. Mace has always been a bit long with animation times. I can see them maybe dropping it a few .3 seconds, but that's about it. To keep the game balanced, Animation times need to work per Power strength. Shatter is strong even outside of Hide so it's going to have a longer animation time than Pulverize.

    Defense: I want debuff defense resistance since that is all we have.... I got it so my Bane has some resist, about 10% (20% in PvP) but it's not enough to survive off of. PvP, Surveillance from the Blasters + Kat -def [censored] me indefinately.

    Web Cocoon: I love it. Saves me so many times with a +Hold proc in it. Yes, it might be expensive and most players bypass it but it helps me in PvE and PvP. Not to say it's good or bad, it's personal likings of the power, but even a single target hold can save your can from behind cleaned.
  19. I'll most likely be there. Gotta get Spider Scout out of the PvP zones for once and actually do something "Productive" with his Roleplay :P And no.... girls, he's single >.>
