    Thank you for contacting us about this current issue, until stated
    otherwise     there will be no refunds of any City Of Heroes accounts at this
    time. You may request a transfer of equal exchange of your remaining
    balance on City Of Heroes for time allotment on another NCsoft title of
    your choosing.

    GG NCsoft, GG.
    Thanks for all the fish. =|

    Before everyone gets too worked up. You are overlooking one small point in their response (which I've highlighted ~ i hope! ) It says "until stated otherwise"

    We have been told by Posi and Zwill that there will be an official announcement from Ncsoft about how they will handle refunds. This isn't it. And so you are getting a generic response, probably based on how they normal deal with requests for refunds in normal circumstances. This isn't to say that at the end of the day, we don't end up at the same place, but I'll wait to get p***ed until they make the official announcement.

    "Enter the fight as Statesman" tip mission is bugged. When you enter door you are supposed to be dressed as States but you currently are not. Tried resetting and didn't help. Got a GM in game to check and he said it was bugged and there was nothing he could do after trying. Filed a bug report and he escalated it but I don't see it on this list.

    Thanks, that certainly helps as well.

    Plainguy:

    Appreciate your feedback. Guess I wasn't clear enough about what I don't know. As you correctly pointed out, I know little if anything about what sets are best for what purpose. When I said I was fairly comfortable with the powers and slots I meant the number of slots not the enhancements in them. And even then, I may not have the correct number of slots for a power when using sets. Truthfully, I've always been a very casual player and never paid much attention to maxing out builds etc. I've always just enjoyed playing the game as best I could with friends.

    It seems now with the new end game material, incarnate abilities, set IOs etc, that this really isn't very viable any longer so I hope to begin to learn about all of that going forward.

    So, I've started reading these boards, downloaded Mids and have begun working with them. Didn't want to just come on here and say "Make me a build" Neither you nor anyone else should have any reason to do so. This is my first, albeit very poor, attempt to create a build but wanted to post one so I had some thing to start learning from that included the powers I would like to have in the finished product.

    No worries about thick skin. I knew from the start that my attempt was probably very far off the mark. I appreciate your response and will read up on the material you linked. (Hopefully I'll be able to make heads or tails of it! )

    Thanks again and any other suggestions, comments, or ideas are still very welcome.

    I'm dusting off a lvl 50 Defender that hasn't seen much playing time in a long time. Not even respeced to compensate for inherent fitness. Fairly comfortable with my primary and secondary choices and slotting though I would certainly welcome suggestions for improvement. My biggest concern is I never really know how to slot pool powers and the Epic pool as well. I mostly play with a group of friends, rarely solo or pick up groups. Looking forward to the new content in DA and am curious as to what I should do with incarnates on here as well. (i.e. what would be best alpha? what about incarnate choices beyond alpha? etc)

    Here's the build as I've crafted it in Mid's. Look forward to your advice & suggestions.

    This happened on two of my toons today when I first logged in to Triumph. Other were fine. Only thing in the tray on those two toons were Holiday Cheer & Holiday Spirit (or whatever they are called)

    Thanks for posting this guide!

    Question....

    The description for Defender/Power Mastery/Power Build Up makes it sound as if it's a combo of Build Up and Power Boost from the Blaster's Energy Secondary. Is this the case? Build Up typically only affects DMG and ACC while Power Boost affects secondary effects such as Knockback, Disorient, etc.

    If so, this is a great combination to take!
