    Those are my thought as well, Vanden. I'm sitting here refreshing like a chipmunk who had a 5-hour energy drink.

    Cups!



    A friend snagged me the Hero and Villain cups at Hero-Con last year, the Villain cup developed a big crack in it after about two weeks, so I put it on my desk to hold various thingamabobs. It finally bit the dust this morning, and I was honestly sad, and I thought you all should feel my pain.

    Thanks for the deal, and I'm glad I could help.

    Better slotting in hib
    Defense is useless on squshies.

    Thats what i can think of right now.
    I had no idea if hib was worth slotting or not. With those suggestions in mind, how is this? :

    Good point. Bumped up the runspeed. I was under the impression that the magic KB number was 43, an end reduc would put me at 42.

    Fire/MM - Halp?

    POST-ACTION

    I've been bored with PVE as of late, and I have a Fire/MM that is sitting around waiting to come out of retirement. Was hoping I could get some help on the build? Would be for zone in RV. Money is no object, and with that in mind, this is what I came up with:

    I've never built a PVP toon, but I believe that this may not be too terrible of a start?

    If it is terrible, please, rip into it. I'm all ears.

    I made my own Trafficker-knock-off after teaming with the toon. Here's the most recent (revising to a S/L softcap build for fun in I17) version of him if you wanted to peek at it:

    Having personally played in this exact situation with this toon, and with Smurphy's toon, no problem. We did a MoITF race on virtue not too long ago, Smurphy and I both routinely took point. Neither of us died, and there was very, very little support.

    I've also done many-many 22-25m ITFs where I was the only support, and I never had a problem dying. When you're at an unsuppressed speed cap 96% of the time, it's incredibly easy to use the geometry to your advantage.

    I play my toon exactly like Smurphy does; fire ball in Positron's face and all. I never exemp, though.

    Occasionally when I fight Rikti and some other enemies I don't have a break free, get mezzed, and get wailed on. This one might also be a push between resistance and defense. Resistances let me get wailed on for a few instants longer but defense lets me sometimes avoid getting mezzed entirely. Push?
    The resist shield gets suppressed when mezzed. You're getting hit without any resistance.

    I'll give you a shout when I respec, you can check it out.

    Would anyone be interested in trading 5 redside LoTG 7.5%(at 50) for 5 blueside LoTG 7.5%(at 50)?

    If so, toss me a tell on @Tark, I'd be glad to server-hop to get them, though I am natively on Virtue.

    Thanks.
    (To clarify, as it's 5AM and I doubt the sense-making-ability I have right now, I need redside LoTG, I have blueside LoTG.)

    Will this be available for pre-purchase through Steam? Makes it a billion times easier to gift it to people.

We’re working with NVidia and ATI about this, but you all can speed up the process by contacting NVidia and ATI about updating things on their end to get it to work.
    Awesome. Feel so much more confident about my 5850 now.

    I17 - Dark Mirror

    NCsoft has announced today that players can look forward to Issue 17, which has been titled "Dark Mirror," this April! Most players expected to find the new graphical updates featured in Going Rogue with the release of the upcoming expansion, however, it appears that the previously announced "Ultra Mode" will make it in with Issue 17!

    Ultra Mode is an optional enhancement mode, enabling players that have the hardware to take advantage of the new bells and whistles to do so, without disturbing the game for those still running City of Heroes on their toasters. The mode will enhance the game with a "a new look and feel with a heightened level of detail in lighting, reflections, shadows and water effects."

    Issue 17 will also introduce a "new and nefarious foe" that will be able to match players "blow for blow." Given the Issue's title, I'm guessing it will be your doppelganger, but for now Paragon Studios isn't saying anything more than that.

    A short rundown of the issues other features is available below:

    * New badges, new missions and new player emotes
    * Epic Archetypes now available at level 20
    * Improvements and additions to Mission Architect
    * Enhancements to UI and game systems
    * And dozens more

    Was all that not exciting enough? How about the fact that beginning on March 2nd, those who pre-order Going Rogue will receive early access to the expansion's two new powersets, Dual Pistols, and Demon Summoning in April?!

    The Going Rogue "Complete Edition" has also been announced, featuring both City of Heroes & City of Villains, 30 days of game time, and the "Complete Collection Item Pack," which contains Alpha and Omega costume sets and auras, four stance emotes, and The Shadowy Presence invisibility power.

    The Going Rogue beta will begin this Spring, with the expansion's full release expected in July.
