Vojin

Sweet, that's exactly what i wanted to hear. i got a cool Dom idea that is going to flesh out extremely well once we get color customization.

the pet IOs work in it, to the best of my knowledge, but it isn't like most pets.

It can not be targeted, and also it has no HP, so the def bonus doesn't affect it, nor does it affect you. I believe the chance to build up effects VS but in that regard, VS only has one attack, so only a couple, maybe two or three, attacks (which are like Charged Bolts) would truly be affected by it.

The thing VS DOES give you is a major defiance boost. Which can be pretty slick if you cast it before or after AIM and Build Up, i used to do that sometimes on my Elec/MM/Fire.

Since this is a thread about Plant/Thorns, I figured I'd pose the question here instead of starting a separate thread about it.

For Doms, how crucial is Fly Trap?

To the best of my knowledge, you can only have one out at a time. Which kinda stinks, but tis what it tis

The Praetorian Name thing is interesting. Let's look at some examples:

Statesman == Tyrant
Back Alley Brawler == Marauder
Positron == Anti-Matter
Mynx == Bobcat

So, in general, the Praetorian Name of a character is a reflection of their current name, but with a more...aggressive, sinister twist.

Given that:

Castle == Checkmate

Hmm...in this spirit then...

Jyoti. A hindi name meaning Light. She is an illusionist and an archer. This one would be tough for a counterpart.

But I'd have to go with Kali for the counterpart name.

so Jyoti == Kali

Now Ashni means 'lightning'. She is my Ice/Elec/Elec Blaster and the avatar of the Shinto storm god Susanoo.

It took me a while to think of one for her but I came up with Murakumo since, in Japanese, Murakumo means Massing Clouds/Gathering Clouds and deals with the legend of the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.

So Ashni == Murakumo

Finally, the toughest one is Vojin. The full name of the original battle suit is the Vojin Paradigm but he also has the Ouro version of himself from the future called Mender Avaruia (i am not on my desktop now but Mender Avaruia like Mender Silos in that if you rearrange the letters it is the name of a Hindu diety.). There is also the versions of the suits he uses Redside, like the Jotunn Prodigy and the Jotunn Proxy and the future Vojin Pandora once the Super Science Booster comes out and i can buy it.

He is also a Sonic Res/Energy Blast/Psi Mastery Defender (Sonic/Energy/Power in 2nd build. Electric/MM/Fire as Mender, Energy/Electric as Prodigy, Bots/Traps as Proxy).

But I think I settled on Polemos for him.

So, in sum.

Jyoti == Kali
Ashni == Murakumo
Vojin == Polemos



I like this game! 5 stars! Made me think.

In short, has the Reichsman TF been improved before launch in anyway?


[/ QUOTE ]
I didn't check out the TF until very late in the beta, but all the problems you mentioned were still there and are still there since it's gone live. While no dev has commented on it, I believe eventually they'll at least add a cutscene or two in.

That'd really help because if you aren't the team lead, following the story in the TF as it stands is difficult.

[/ QUOTE ]

I really hope so.

Hey guys, I was hoping someone could help me out.

I currently do not have the internet on my desktop (where my City of Heroes game is) since I am literally half way through moving my stuff into my new apartment (yay for being broke now!).

I heard that Issue 15 went live. Yay.

I was wondering if someone can fill me in then.

Is the Blueside Reichsman TF still completely illogical? Do we find out what happened to Hero 1's time capsule? Are Nemesis, Countess Crey and the like still, surprisingly, held captive by Reichsman? Is that explained any better? Do we get a cut scene of Reichsman beating the crap out of Statesman?

In short, has the Reichsman TF been improved before launch in anyway?

I found the post by Horatio about looking into the canon issues, but I was unsure if he was talking about the SF or both the TF and the SF since the post was under a thread about the Strikeforce.

If it is still like it was on Beta, I must admit, I find the story filled with Killer Whale sized plot holes upsetting. If that is indeed the case, I hope it gets so MUCH needed love.

Thanks if anyone can answer this question for me.

[ QUOTE ]
So, those pages and pages of discussion of how the hero side TF makes no sense...

[/ QUOTE ]

I have the solution.

Alcohol.

Liquor.

Drink enough of it and by then, it should make enough sense.

That was pretty amazing if I may say so.

[ QUOTE ]
I use it with my [u]Sonic Brute[u]. It's a good way to one shot an annoying minion or One-Two a lieutenant.

Tell me where you got one of those. Now.

Thinking about gacking my Necro/FF MM and rolling up a Necro/Traps MM. Anyone tried this? Good combo or bad?

If i could have made it to level 38, I'm sure Necro/Traps would have been my first Villian 50. Alas, got deleted in frustration. But don't give it up!!!

Force Field bubbles apply a moderate damage DoT to your character. I heard they also reset your chatbinds, Generic your character, and delete your account. I seen it happen.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pics or it didn't happen

This thread makes me feel smart.

I wish I had something to contribute but my highest melee character is a 37 Eng/Elec brute.

Just wanted to say, ur threadz gives me brainz stuffs

Whenever someone specifically asks to not receive a buff, I make it a point to keep that buff on them all the time.

You want to RP your costume? don't team with people you don't know. No one is going to be admiring your costume but yourself during combat anyway.

Your system can't handle it? don't team period or adjust your graphic settings to make it bearable or here is an idea upgrade you memory or graphics card to something that isn't 5 or 6 years old.

Ignorant of it's benefits? Thank you for proving that you need the buff to even hope to function on the team.

[/ QUOTE ]

See, as a Sonic Res Defender, I also enjoy buffing people who do not want the buff. Mainly cause I get to scream at them while buffing them.

YOU WILL TAKE THIS (buff) AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!

[ QUOTE ]
I did not write "play properly", I wrote "PLAN properly".

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, I re-read it. For some reason, I saw play instead of plan.

My apologies then for my rudeness.

Still /unsigned.

My Ice/Elec/Elec, changing the Electricity to a whiter shade of yellow.

My Elec/Men/Fire..as weird as this might sounds, I was hoping to go for a clear, whiteish color. For all of the powers.

[ QUOTE ]
in sum...what are you talking about?

[/ QUOTE ]

I answered that already.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, my point was just that you were saying play 'properly'.

You can play properly without ever looking at Mids. these designers are more of a tool to help figure out which direction you want to go in preemptively, but in no way are they needed to play 'properly'. I can say, for myself, I play for 2 years without Mids or any tool and I leveled up and built just fine.

These tools, in addition help the player figuring out a direction to head without using respecs, are also good for min/max building. And it sounds like that is something you are looking for. Something that has a bit more precise data. Which is fine, and I get that.

But my point stands in that you do not -need- a tool like that to play properly.

So...now that i know what you are talking about, with a roundabout answer I determined from your posts, all I can say is I hope you're asking players to do this, and not Devs, cause I'd, personally, rather the Devs focus on new content, proliferation especially, and fixing bugs. Not this.

Edit: in noticing the subject line again, I see you are asking for the Devs to do this. So I guess I should say /unsigned instead.

uh...is my Protector Bot SUPPOSED to bubble my Acid Mortar?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. Protector Bots bubble every buffable pet you have, including Acid Mortars and Seeker Drones. The annoying part is that they bubble you last so sometimes they skip bubbling you because there's an Acid Mortar sitting 200 yards away that's higher on their list than you.

So wait....they'll bubble a Shivan and an RWZ Heavy?

The Jotunn Proxy has just become infinitely more dangerous...

NOOOOO Suggestion of _Enos_ has been foiled!

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
As an example you might be familiar with Enos, I respec'd Maker into Aid Other when he was in the 30s I think, dropping Repair, and it was much, much easier to manage that way. Also lets you help the teammates in a pinch. Repair unfortunately doesn't do that for you.

Opinions vary though, as you've noticed. So take this as just one option if you're really stuck for power selections or slots

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm...da Maker has Aid Other...

Well...da Maker IS pretty bad [censored]....

You have given me something serious to consider DH...something serious indeed. *puts on Monocle and Tophat* Serious indeed.

[/ QUOTE ]

lol Well I dunno that I'd declare Maker to be a bad [censored], but I appreciate the compliment, sir! Maker is more of a utility guy. I play him when I'm looking more to play a support kinda role instead of leading the charge. And it works well for me in those situations.

[/ QUOTE ]

....so....what you're saying is....no Tophats and Monocles....

DAMN IT MIDS! WITH UR INFERIOR NUMBERS, I ALMOST PLAYED IMPROPERLY!!!!1111

...

...

in sum...what are you talking about?

Give it to Masterminds.

...

My initial snarky idea for the post was just to say the line above. But I feel I should elaborate.

I have seen sooo much of this around the forum. "Oh, Brutes are not tankers? why do they have taunt?"

Or.

"Masterminds are supposed to be the tankers of CoV."

Blah Blah Blah, etc. etc.

Many of you forum-goers have seen similar arguments all over the place.

So. Please.

For the love of god. Give Masterminds Taunt. Make it an inherent power. Give it to the pets. Whatever.

to be the 'Tanks' (so to speak, since rolls are so variable in CoV), Masterminds need some form of argo control in a Taunt, and shouldn't have to dip into Power Pools while the 'Scrapper' of CoV, the Brute, gets it inherently.

If Masterminds don't receive some form of taunt, this, to me, leads me to believe, that Brutes are now considered the 'Tanks' of CoV

Editor's Note. My apologies if the post is TOO snark-filled. I am just frustrated by team-mates who, first thing they ask me is "where it the Brute?", or seeing people bicker about it. Not sure why this set me off today, but it did.

So...Suggestion.

uh...is my Protector Bot SUPPOSED to bubble my Acid Mortar?
