Are there a good amount of people actually on Beta? Like, actually enough for trials and stuff?

Hamilton plays CoH?
Man I am so surpri....wait no, this makes absolute perfect sense. -
Quote:I think for one of the first times ever in the history of this game the GoonSquad and the rest of this game's community are all on the same page. Our little group of misfits, casuals, power players, and RPers have literally shed tears over this thing. We do not have a "leader" but I can safely be the voice of us all this one time and say this is truly devastating. Want proof? Go to the Something Awful forums, Games, then MMO HMO section. Check our thread devoted to this game. Then read the last few pages of nothing but digital tears.Originally Posted by Tutelary
Something Awful forums then go to the MMO HMO section. If you have a different type of passion for the game, aka, you defend it to its very core, don't go there. They have a different type of passion for the game/community.
So implying we don't, or wouldn't, defend this game to it's very core is pretty harsh, even for us with our super thick skins. We love this game, it's developers, and yes....you guys. The bat-guano insane community that makes it happen. Everyone in GoonSquad would have quit long ago if it were for all the people involved in this game. EVERYONE.
We are a very close knit group and we have zero drama within our bunch believe it or not, rumors aside. I can't speak for other game's GoonSquads but our little slice on the internet has been considered the best GoonSquad ever and all of that has to do with the super cool people in it who don't "get" drama. The most drama we ever had was trying to decide if we should abandon our original servers and move to Virtue. Other than that it's all genitalia jokes, the most ridiculous costumes you can make, and number talk. I'm going to miss it. -
Zwill, you have another thread to post in. We are a huge sad group of pandas right now and we all want e-hugs.

I'm Tim Willard.
10 year Army veteran during the Cold War. Former NATO observer/NBC expert. I worked on the MAD program, and was an honest to God Cold War Supervillain.
I ran a top secret site full of chemical and nuclear tactical weaponry. It had underground tunnels for us to ride out the nuclear strike that would hit the site in the opening of World War III. I had Rangers to provide emergency security and strikes. I had GSG-9 teams at my command. I had West German Army guards.
It was my job to make sure that nuclear fire and chemical death was brought to Warsaw Pact targets if they every jumped at us. I helped plan MAD protocol. I helped rewrite the NATO doctrine for chemical weapons use in an urban environment.
I was 18 and a supervillain.
Now, I'm old. I'm a published writer, RPG designer who has written a best selling tabletop role playing game. I work for a publishing company with the official job title of "gunslinger".
I'll miss all of you, and miss this game. -

And there's another issue with Regeneration as it stands.
If you've not poured a good billion or two into defence IOs, a bit of lag or a long power animation can easily have you eating more rug than Ron Jeremy. -
It definitely is something I have considered. Unfortunately I don't have a bio character on beta without redraw to test how good it is. My beta character is tw/bio and I don't even feel like testing it there. Any set witjout redraw will pair well with bio. Not sure if every set will redraw will benefit.

Gonna have real trouble in late game though. A good amount of -def, and its a lot of energy damage.
Also fine with me considering what I get with bio. The set is a damage powerhouse. -
Quote:Which is fine by me since I'm chasing sl softcap, recharge, damage, end in that order. I wasn't aware of the 3% difference in the exotics though since I only really paid strong attention to sl in game. Ill eyeball it more now though. In defensive I should still soft cap them all.Originally Posted by _Pine_
The extra 3% is for Fire/Cold/Energy/Negative (and a little for psi) in Environmental Modification. So yeah, your S/L might look right, but your exotics are 3% lower.
-
Well I'm getting the same numbers in game as I am in mids just by turning off evolving armor in mids. If you turn on EA you get your defensive adaptation numbers.
I'm at 45 sl in game and in mids, while in offensive. -
If you want to see your defense numbers while not in Defensive just turn Evolving Armor off.

Altitis wouldn't be a problem if trials were actually fun to grnd incarnate on. WTB incarnate TFs that give trial rewards, that way I can feel useful post 50 again as opposed to being on a league and feel like I'm doing nothing with a 10b toon.

....you don't use rage.

I have both a SS/Fire/Soul and TW/Fire brute, similarly invested set wise. The TW/Fire does beat the SS on pylon times, haven't really measured AOE farm times, but for me to do that on the TW I have to have a flawless attack chain the entire run with zero misses, whereas the SS can have a flub here or there. The DPS difference is minimal enough to not make a big difference and it all comes down to preference. The SS is much MUCH more faceroll friendly. I got my best times with the standard TW attack chain and with BM popped was using: FT RA AOD FT CB FT. If RA would miss it would really hurt my time.

Invuln is probably the strongest +tohit secondary set, with Invincibility giving +2 percent per foe base, +3 percent each with three cytos.
Dark Melee and Claws/Spines are probably the strongest +tohit primary sets, with perma soul drain or followup. -
Quote:My BM rotation if anything is pressed between last FT and BM: FT RA AOD FT CB FT WS FTOriginally Posted by Hopeling
The rotation you named is impossible - Momentum would expire before you got to the third Follow Through. Momentum also kinda throws a wrench in trying to make attack chains the usual way; I usually just wing it. I've seen some posters talking about a very high-end chain... I think it was RA-FT-AoD-CB-FT? That one requires very high recharge though.
Non-BM: RA FT AOD CB FT
Three FTs in a BM rotation is possible.
"One does not simply wing-it with Titan Weapons". -
Obviously it will be amazing with SS especially due to stacked rage and fury. Ss makes everything great. Claws will be good also, although id recommend scrapper version, but play whats fun.
I've tested high end tw/bio scrap and the damage due to bio is super nice. Hopefully it makes it out of beta safely. -
Quote:And its 22 for insta snipe? Win.Originally Posted by Granite Agent
Looks like 6-slot Gaussian in scrapper tactics gives 11.03%?
-
Any scrapper with a Kismet, tactics, and bio armor in offensive mode will be able to have enough tohit for it to be perma. On beta Offensive Mode currently gives 7% to hit. Kismet is another 6%. Tactics can get you the rest I think. I'd have to look. Also if it weren't for that horrible re-draw claws/db would be great for it.
-
Lack of a taunt aura personally drives me nuts, even if overall elea pretty much the best defensive set. It's a great combo on a brute, amazing really. I do know bio armor is dropping soon and will have a taunt aura, hopefully it gets out of beta is a survivable state.

My take on EM/Regen.
http://www.cohplanner.com/mids/downl...E4F21766BFD05D
My first 50 hero was a claws/regen and my first 50 villain was a em/ea. As fun as TF is it's just a set mule these days. This build assumes high-end play with T4 agility and Ageless. -
Quote:Ugh this is so stupid.Originally Posted by Cheetatron
I think Alpha slot recharge should work as a global buff rather than a slotted one it's already kinda unfair that alpha recharge doesn't boost incarnate powers I think this is a fair trade off
No you got it right unfortunately
I've been playing since issue 2, ive done everything in the game content wise, it is the gameplay mechanics that keep me around (and occasionally trolling the easily trolled). Why are we punishing min/maxers in a game about being overpowered? -

Ill/Cold controller. Not a defender, but better!
