The only issue with the terminal is that it doesn't really "make sense" given the story of the trial.

Like, why would the heroes use a terminal to summon up the villains to come attack?

The Terra Volta trials are so frequently the WST, but I just can't will myself to do them any longer. It's extremely dated and needs to have some sort of update to bring it up to the standard of the rest of the trials and TFs in the game.

My biggest issue is the fact that you're stuck waiting... and waiting... and waiting for another wave to come. A few ways to rectify this is to add a little box that tells you how many more waves you have and give a countdown for the next wave. Doing this allows your team to at least prepare for the next wave, and it lets you keep track of how much longer you have with the wave numbers.

The second issue is obviously that you have so long to wait for these waves. Just shorten them. I don't think anyone will mind. It would cut down the time needed to beat it by a lot.

Aside from that, I don't have too many problems with the trial itself. The rest of it is fine. However, the waiting in this trial seems completely unbearable to me. Fixing that in some way would make this trial much better, in my opinion.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

The above post still stands! Join our group for fun times.

This group is still kickin' it and being awesome, fyi.

TF2 hats are not to be underestimated.

People preorder games and never play them just to get a hat in that game. It's pretty insane. Valve seems to love working with other developers-- especially the smaller ones. I think trying to tie CoH with TF2 would do wonders. A lot of people are playing RIFT now because of the TF2 crossover, and they would have never even heard of RIFT without it.

Probably my favorite character I've ever had. I recommend frankenslotting for good acc/dam/end on all of your attacks, because your endurance will hurt a lot. Once I got enough IOs (Miracle, Numina's, Performance Shifter procs) then I was able to drop Consume and enjoy my Brute further with focus on recharge.

Hey guys, I recently made a Necro/Dark MM. I'm really enjoying it, but I have a few questions for you.

1) How do I slot the Soul Extraction? I don't know what this pet excels at at all, really. As I see it doing a nice spread of damage and control.

2) How do I slot the Lich? I know he's a control/debuff monster. Should I just do 2 Acc/ 2 ToHit Debuff/ 2 Hold? Also, are strictly all Hami-Os the way to go with this guy when I get to 50?

3) How do I slot the Dark Servant as well? No idea on this one.

4) What set bonuses are best to shoot for? I have no idea what might benefit me most.

5) What's a good APP/PPP to go with? I was thinking Soul Mastery so I could get Oppressive Gloom for even more lockdown, but is that overkill?

That's all I've been thinking about for now. Thanks.

I have to agree with basically all of the changes suggested. Particularly, Spec Ops need the most help aside from the Serum. Serum is just worthless. Spec Ops need huge buffs- and I feel like buffing them with lower recharge on their crowd control powers and giving them a stealth strike will help them the most of anything.

Someone needs to be a representative and send a PM with a link to this topic to... whoever is in charge of powers balance now that Castle is gone.

I've been having this problem too. The way it seems to be happening with me is that it works the first time I try to start up CoH after my computer turns on. However, if I try to log in again at any point later, it just keeps trying to load. I have to restart my computer to get CoH to get past the loading screen. It's rather annoying.

I'm running on Vista, for what it's worth.

This group is awesome. So join it if you're awesome too. Or if you're on the edge of being awesome and are trying to make that leap to awesomeness, you can still join and become awesome too.

Thanks guys.

I feel like the one handed animations would look really awkward, would they not? Especially when you get to the more elaborate ones.

So I wanted to try out a Shield Defense/Kinetic Melee Tanker, but I noticed the first two Kin attacks are all one handed. Are all of them one handed? Because I'm not sure if I can tolerate one handed animations with Kin Melee.

Thanks.

I've found my share of what I consider very good names. There are times, however, that I've had a ton of problems getting ones I'd like. And it's for weird, obscure stuff too. Blazing Effigy was taken, as was Cosmic Rush. I toss a hyphen in there and I'm good to go.

Meanwhile, I've gotten some names like Lethal Accuracy, Mic Check, and Advent Dusk that I'm very happy with. I'm also a very big fan of iconic, heroic-sounding names too though, and they are very difficult to find solid ones. Also, other hard ones to find are ones dealing with the elements. I've had very hard times trying to come up with something good.

What I've noticed is that people tend to get the name first, holds onto it or uses it, and lets the concept fill out itself. I, and I'm sure many other people who have expressed issue with this problem, come up with the concept first and try to find a good name for it.

I'm not saying that there aren't any good names out there or anything of the like- because there are. But if you're trying to match names to a concept, it becomes very very tricky. Especially for us RP types who kinda get pickier about picking out a name considering they're a bit more involved with their character than the average non-RPer.

I have to say that Pocket D isn't nearly that bad. You need to sometimes work for your RP. Find a reason to approach someone and don't just stand in the corner all quiet. I've found plenty of good RP in Pocket D lately. Of course, the best way to get RP is by being in an SG. I have a few of them and I'm rarely ever bored in-game.

Just my two cents.

You spelled Shield wrong.

So I was running around Grandville and speeding recklessly into anything and I plopped into some water randomly put on a nook in Grandville. And then I see a Coralax Red Hybrid under the water, drinking a cup of coffee.



Oddly enough, it's the only area in the game where you can swim under the water as well. For those who want to check it out for yourselves, it's at the coordinates 4868.3 -489.1 806.7 and here's a map for reference:



Needless to say, it gave me and my teammates quite a laugh. That is, until our Brute went to check it out with his Aura toggle on and ruined our fun. Nice little easter egg.

So I can't pre-purchase it at retail and get access to the two new powersets? Guess I'm waiting then.

Congratulations Sean.

So I feel strongly enough to bring this up here. And I rarely ever post on the forums anymore.

The Dev/Community Digest needs fixed immediately.

Honestly, the Dev Digest was easily the most important part of the forums. I like to know what's going on with the game and what I can look forward to, or answers to popular queries. I'm not willing to go fishing through tons of topics to do so though. The Dev Digest made everything easier and kept us all informed rather well. Without it, so many people have deemed the forums not using at all- myself included. Granted, there are a butt load of people who find it useful still, but there's also a large number who don't.

And I feel strongly about this that I feel like people should be nagging about it relentlessly. ...Or at least once a day.

Wow. Only fifteen people all this time. And you guys have made the game this much better and added so much. I'm seriously amazed by this.

Sorry, OP...you talk a good point, but in the end, my MA/REGEN scrapper kicks [censored] all the way home and back.

I just got a Regen Scrapper to level 49. Then I read this guide and realized how right it was, so I deleted it. I'm just glad someone shed some light on this powerset before I got really into the set.

You realize you just put someone on ignore because they made a completely legit argument concerning this power set, right?
