Quote:Viable or not, it wasn't popular because the vast majority didn't consider it viable.Originally Posted by Aneko
I've been playing single-form Peacebringers for years. There's always someone (not you) saying that they were unplayable until now, and it just isn't true as a general statement. The latest changes will probably make a successful Peacebringer attainable by more people, but they've always been viable.
Now? On paper. In theory. It looks viable. In game? ... casually testing. If it isn't viable in-game for myself then it is being deleted and I'll wait for another round of buffs to happen before I try it again. (If such buffs happen again. We'll see.)
I want to like PB. They are pretty. But pretty doesn't mean fun, and having fun with something is the only workable definition of viability in a video game. Its' been entertaining so far; part of that is expectations of its' improvement as I level it higher and invest more into it. If I hit 50 and an acceptable (to me) level of investment and it isn't fun to play at that point ...
Poof goes the PB. -
Thanks for all the advice. I'll put some more thought into it and make something later this week.

Quote:For me, its either a skippable or a set mule. The graphics make my brain 'itch' (an interesting sensation, I promise), giving me headaches if I leave the power on (the longer its' on, the more it hurts). Not sure why ... only that it does it.Originally Posted by Socorro
Quantum Acceleration is, of course, faster. And while it's on there's zero flight drift. When you stop, you stop instantly. Some may like that - it seems to make moving around indoors a bit easier even though it's faster (watch for mobs though, cuz you can't attack them until you toggle it off). It's does give a decent defense bonus so you're less like to get one-shotted if you do smash into a mob.
Oh, and it'll hold a LotG. That sold it for me. -
Quote:Recharge is always useful. If nothing else, it means the self-heals are up faster.Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
Hrm, interesting. I still recommend building more than 135% global recharge, though.

Quote:Light Form has a recharge of 5 minutes (aka: 300 seconds) and a duration of 1 minute, 30 seconds (aka: 90 seconds).Originally Posted by Bionut911
So, with the recent changes to the specs of a Peacebringer's powers I've had to reconfigure my build, the problem is that my main platform is now a mac -_- (there is no working up to date version of Mids for macs.) So I'm here to ask this, about how much global recharge is needed to make light form permanent? I'm assuming that, with prema-hasten it's somewhere around 150% just like a warshade's requirements, but i'm not sure of this exactly.
Assuming it is three-slotted for recharge with IO50s, you'd need 135% global recharge to achieve perma- Light Form without a gap. (234% recharge including enhancement values.)
Including Hasten's bonus of 70%, and that'd be 65% additional global recharge needed for perma- Light Form.
(300 / (1 base + 0.99 enhancement recharge + 1.35 global recharge) = 89.82 seconds) -
I would like to suggest that a purchasable power be added to the cash shop, a power that enables tracking of mobs. The function exists already (when you are almost done with a mission, the remaining mobs show up as red triangles on the map). I imagine it would have to be a toggle so it would continuously update, though a click with a duration (like Reveal) may also be workable.
If it tracked the glowie as well, that'd be a plus. -

Men of the CoH community, if you and your lady vested years of play time into the game and you break up leaving the characters they both make, do you delete all or does one just claim their characters and rename them?
Ruling?

Whatever gets your rocks off, little one. -
I'm trying to make a lowbie brute (that will stay lowbie; level-locking at either 20 or 22), who is intended to handle a limited number of targets. For single-target damage, which primary should I be looking at?
I've had fire-melee, dark-melee and energy-melee suggested in-game. I have no personal preference outside of a smooth single-target attack chain and the mostest damage.

He appears to be as anatomically correct as a ken-doll. Maybe even less so than a ken-doll. (It was pointed out to me. I can't unsee the blank smoothness. Help me?)
-
I'm okay with continuing to pay the endurance cost if that is the easier route to take.
-
I've love for the toggles to stay up when using a different form. Charge me the endurance cost for maintaining the toggles (without giving the form any benefit from the toggles) if necessary. It'd be neat.
I can't see a downside to it. Thereby, it isn't going to happen.
-
Relatively simple question to help with my most recent attempt at playing a Kheldian: Which power selections do y'all suggest skipping for a leveling (at least somewhat triple-form) Peacebringer? Any powers that I absolutely should not skip that aren't immediately obvious?

Quote:Bolded bit is the important bit. (yet) If my memory does not fail me the incarnate trials are supposed to increase in "challenge", with each new trial being more "challenging" than the previous ones. I recall something about the ever-escalating difficulty being part of the point.Originally Posted by Schismatrix
Not true. At least not for CoH yet. You can't expect to succeed if the entire league is 'suboptimal', but then i guess it depends on where you put the line between 'optimal' and 'suboptimal'. Even with the new trials that line still can be placed pretty close to 'can use keyboard without shorting it out with drool'.

Quote:I agree completely. I used the scare quotes for a reason. I've made posts in other threads indicating my (rather negative) opinion of "challenge".Originally Posted by Fluctuation
You could argue that not having that has contributed to keeping this games community largely a positive place for the past seven years, compared to others.

Quote:The game changed. You can still play that way, but we have an end-game now and it is only going to become more important as time passes and more of it is released.Originally Posted by Captiosus
I saw people posting crap like "the game begins at 50" in the MARTy thread and wanted to slap them. That line of thought is true in other games like WoW, but not this one. This game has always, always been about the experience of going to 50 with a new class, gradually feeling more and more super, making new friends, new alliances.
Ha!Quote:We should be thankful that they've added any end game at all.
Its' not a perception.Quote:That said, I'm not terribly fond of the Underground Incarnate Trial. The length, mechanics and players feeling the need to organize leagues by perceived perfect group composition is starting to smell a bit too much like WoW's end game.
People want "challenge". "Challenge" has its' requirements. One of the requirements of "Challenge" is that the sub-optimal are excluded from the content because the optimal can't afford to carry them and still succeed at the "challenge". The greater the "challenge", the more narrow the optimal range becomes and the more the suboptimal are excluded by necessity (assuming the league wishes to succeed). -
As per the title. I've a broadsword/shield-defense brute who doesn't have taunt yet, and would like to know if it swashes the sword against the shield when taunting (as the other weapon-sets do) or if it grunts (in which case I'm not taking taunt; have enough grunt'rs already)?

Quote:On my newest masterminds, I've been putting those enhancements into the minion henchmen power. Yes, all five of them.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Still, that's me. Are you using your starting enhancements to hold you over until level 22?
For the rest of my new characters, I've put them into their attacks as soon as they have room for them. They're rather useful. -
Shiny Penny Syndrome, the devs' have it. Power Customization is so old, they'd rather work on something new and shiny.

In the tutorial, the description of the Shivans says they were thought destroyed in the 1950's - however, the official site says it was 1989: http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/game_i...ary/shivan.php What's up with that?
Obligatory response: lolLore -
We'll get the remaining power customization when they feel it is appropriate to charge for it; and we'll get charged per power pool (and potentially per character per power pool).
Or they can surprise me. (I don't expect to be surprised.) -

I had previously purchased all of the booster packs (and various goody packs). You know, when they were still sold on the NCsoft store. The cash shop doesn't recognize those items as being already purchased. It really, really, should.
If this is "working as intended", its' working in a very sleezy way. (Yes, I already /bug'd this in-game.) -
Quote:People are buying paragon points now, and those points are showing. It seemed reasonable to inquire where the accumulated points went (with the answer being that the script handling that hasn't been run yet; now to see if the script has bugs in it).Originally Posted by MaestroMavius
It's like Christmas morning today! All day!
The 0 points thing... that's like sneaking downstairs at 2am and wondering were all the presents are. It's not Christmas just yet. Almost. Which is still better than Soon™. -
Quote:Heh. Issue Launch Bugs are nothing new. Tried asking in the ustream chat but was spammed into oblivion, noticed that others had the same concern (from a different thread that wasn't about this) and so went ahead and asked in its' own thread.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
The script to grant accumulated points is one of the final things we will be doing before bringing the Market online.

That is because it does not include game time purchased through boxes. It considers all months of game time attached to a CoH/CoV Retail Box as Free time, not paid time.
