The /dark power, shadow fall. I took it on my mastermind and I think, as a stealth power, it's meant to turn you transparent. The problem is when turned it on it looks like this -
Maybe not the best shot, but you can see the chest area turns very blocky, instead of see-through as I think is intended. Has anyone had this issue before, or know of settings I could try? Might not seem like much, but it annoys me so badly I won't use it currently. -
As someone who's only recently come back after years in more "typical" MMOs, I'd say:
Firstly, ask in the help channel what channels people use on your server, and join them. There are no intrinsic CoH channels for chat & grouping purposes, so getting into these makes things a lot more active.
You can group with anybody that's capable of doing missions on the same side as you, no matter what level. That guy saying there's 1 spot on a level 50 mission team, will take anyone? He means YOU. Even if he actually doesn't, no harm in checking. You will be automatically raised or lowered to the team level, and still get xp.
Play what you enjoy. (Pretty much) nobody cares what AT or powersets you have, as long as you contribute it's one big happy family.
This even includes energy/energy blasters, who some people (ok, me) would happily burn at the stake. -
Good point about obliteration in head splitter. I remember specifically putting it in shield charge in the first attempt because the endurance doesn't matter so much; but the second try I was focusing on getting to the softcaps and didn't catch that.
I suppose I could switch it to whirling sword in a pinch, and put multi-strike back in headsplitter.
Didn't think about the gaussian's set in focused accuracy, but it certainly seems to make sense; with a single io in build up recharge it's more or less the same currently.
About true grit, seems I don't actually need the set bonus from that reactive armor now, so I'll play around with it a bit more. -
Thanks for the suggestions. Had another try at updating it, the main points being:
I was over the softcap on ranged, so I switched a mako's to crushing impact for extra recharge.
Switched multi-strike to another obliteration in headsplitter, to hit the melee softcap.
Dropped parry and got grant cover.
Added a kismet +accuracy.
Put 3 membranes in active defense, although as they seem to be going for 500 million each on the market I might leave those out for now in the actual build. With nothing to spend it on, I kind of slacked off on my marketeering.
Added 2-3? LotG +recharges.
Still under the softcap on aoe, but frankly I think I can live with that.

Like the title says, this is first time trying to make a build. I think I did ok, but as I've never had a 50 (scrapper is still 38) I'd appreciate it if people could look it over and point out any flaws.

I've started a hero for the first time since the game was originally released (left and came back for CoV) and these are confusing the hell out of me, I simply cannot seem to complete one.
I've tried: killing the initial looter spawn inside the bank (playing a defender)- while I'm in the middle of this, the villain gets back to the entrance, joins in and crushes me. This sends me to the hospital, with a waypoint to their getaway truck to stop them escaping- except the mission just fails without them coming near it.
I tried stealthing past the first spawn, but even without a fight and heading straight there the villain breaks down the door before I even reach him, I can kill him at this point but apparently the looters at the entrance still escape (?) and the mission fails again.
Is there some mechanic I'm missing, or is my low damage the trouble? Because the win/fail conditions seem frankly inconsistent with what you're actually supposed to be doing. -

Hi all, just a reminder that the CoH legacy updater has been deprecated, and will no longer allow players to connect to the game through it. Please use the NCsoft Launcher or the Steam platform to launch City of Heroes.
Sounds great, except Steam still launches the old launcher, and hence I've no way to play any more. -
New installer won't run for me either. I just get get "this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way", then the encountered a problem crash report.
-
Has anyone been able to get it working from a steam install since the launcher switch? The new installer download from the game client page won't even run for me, just crashes instantly.
-
Apparently getting the same problem. I thought the faq on the new launcher said we wouldn't have to worry, that they'd update steam when the time came?
Now launching CoH does nothing except bring up the updater and keep trying to connect with a big "page cannot be found" message in the window. -
I just started playing again after about 5 years, and I'm trying to find a character to stick with. My first love is definitely Brute, and I've got a few of those on the go, but I wanted to dip into the buff/debuff area.
I had the idea of either a corruptor or defender, but frankly my corruptor drops dead as soon as anything looks at him. That led me to rad/dark, keeping everything debuffed/immobilised while I (or my team) takes care of them.
So now to the point, I went back something like 10 pages in the defender and corruptor forums, and can't find a single mention of the combo. In fact, the single guide there is for it was apparently written in beta. Can anyone share their experience with these sets? -
Still crashes, but takes a little over an hour now instead of 30 minutes. I've sent the bug feedback and going to stick with this version for now, it's bearable at least. This is with a radeon HD5870, if anyone else is hoping it'll improve for them.

Quote:When you say you had a crash at the end of your session, do you mean when you were trying to log out?Originally Posted by ChaoticGood
Installed and ran all morning with no hitches, first time since the 11.3 drivers! Aboot time! Had a crash at the every end of my play session but that might have been because of installing another game at the same time!
I only had time last night for about 30 minutes after installing the new drivers, and it crashed when I logged out to character selection screen. -
Thanks for the heads up, downloading now and keeping my fingers crossed.
-
Same results with the 11.4 drivers. One thing I'm curious about, when I run driversweeper there are 2 registry entries it won't delete, from "CurrentControlSet". I honestly don't have a clue, I'm just wondering if those hould be sticking around or not.
-
No luck with /unloadgfx, unfortunately. The upside is at least I can play for about 2 hours now, unlike crashing every half hour with the original 11.6 drivers. Barring any other suggestions, maybe 11.4 will do the trick (or 11.3, 11.2 etc...)
-
Thanks for the replies. With the exception of safe mode, that is the method I used to uninstall the drivers. I doubt it's the fact that my graphics card can't run it, like I said it only happens after playing for a while, usually after switching areas. I'll try /unloadgfx next time to see if that'll work.
-
I just bought Going Rogue and started playing again after a few years. I've been having the problems associated with the 11.6 catalyst drivers (crashing every 30 minutes or so) and rolled back. Solved the crashing issues but now after playing for a while I get some serious graphical weirdness:
These are an example, were taken in a mayhem mission. You can see where the jailbreak villain has no torso, her cell has no texture, the other 2 pics were taken inside the bank. I tried verifying the game files, all fine there, so is this just going to be a case of just going through earlier drivers till one finally works properly?
Really hoping this is a seperate problem that I can fix, it's not as bad as the crashing as restarting the client fixes it, but it's obviously still very annoying.
