    2.33 Ghz quad core, 4 GB ram (down to 3 and a bit due to 32 bit OS), and a 1 GB Radeon HD 5330 video card. I don't imagine that my PC is considered relatively fast, but it WAS running Ultra Mode just fine and crashless until recently.

  2. According to the GM's when I petitioned it, the Antacid and Lambda Looter badges award with 10 of the item and using none of them as well as getting ZERO of the other one.

  3. I'm getting pretty tired of having my game lock up for about a minute or three and have to have VPU Recover come and save me whenever I open my contact window.

    What driver version (ATI) do I have to roll back to (currently back to 10.9) or settings I have to disable to make CoH stop crapping itself?
  4. Some Judgments I'd like to see:

    Contagion: Works rather like the Ion chain effect, deal Toxic and Lethal damage. Tree options could be debuffing Regen, adding additional DoT ticks of Toxic, and enabling the use of the Vomit-style hold.

    Dischord: Energy/Smashing damage, Sonic themed. Targetted AoE, but with a huge graphical effect spanning the width of the AoE radius.

    Seismic: Fire/Smashing, Earth themed. I see this as a placeable AoE rain type thing. But backwards. Rather than having the particles fall down, the ground cracks to expose a lava flow beneath with bits of flame, smoke, and ash rising from beneath.

    Plasma: Fire/Energy. You know that big beam cannon thing Iron Man does in the Marvel vs. Capcom games? Something like that. :P

    Spire: Lethal TAoE. A massive, jagged pillar of stone rips up from the Earth.

    Noneuclidean: Cold/Negative DoT PBAoE. Dark energy surges forth from the PC, creating a rip in reality through which horrible, grasping tentacles reach through, lashing out at anything nearby.

    Abyssal: Fire/Toxic TAoE, A portal opens above the targetted foe, allowing hellfire to spew out for a moment before closing again, so as not to allow anything untoward into the mortal realm.
  5. I think the chain works by having a power activate that repeats the attack on another creature or two and sets some kind of "Don't hit me again" flag on the critter for a certain period of time. I assume that flag doesn't very long, so on occasion the flag will expire while the chain is still jumping around.
  6. I've had the thing pop up about three or four times now.
  7. If you stagger/alternate it with Consume it might be enough, though I haven't tried it yet.
  8. Yeah, the pets are most certainly not going to survive. Though if you have the passive buffing pet, that guy'll hang around for the full 5 minute duration.

    At the moment Ion is bugged, as the initial hit is normal, the additional jumps are affected by damage buffs.

    Reactive Interface's DoT ticks are insanely useful. And if you're going the farm route, having Burn, Elec Fences, and Ball Lightning help quite a bit, since every tick of damage they do has a chance to apply the -res and DoT effects. Burn in particular.

    I also took the Ageless route, since even with Cardiac I still have the occasional Endurance issue and more Recharge is always helpful. I also have found it useful in non-farm content, since the only enemy groups I have a problem with are the ones that drop massive amounts of -def on me. Pop a luck or two, hit Ageless, problem solved.

    For Judgement I would advice to go with Ion at the moment if you're going for maximum damage (due to the aforementioned bug), or Pyro if you want to have something to throw around during your Rage crash. I use it and Sands of Mu so that I still have something of a damage output during what is otherwise my downtime, which is also when I use Ageless or Consume.
  9. Yup. That have a base chance to hit of 64% rather than the usual 50%.
  10. http://ustre.am/vO1I

    I'd love to watch but it's so choppy as to make it impossible to watch.

    Can anyone post an ongoing summary of anything worth noting that goes on?
  11. I'm just curious, as spurred on by the 30 minute deadline of server maintenance, a 24 man league I was just in managed to complete the trial in about 20 minutes or so, as confirmed by the 10 minute reminder.
  12. Can someone post a summary?
  13. Morty Kal for me last night was 25-30 minutes.
  14. Both times it happened we were on Freedom, once was around 3 PM and the other was later, like maybe 7ish?

    It's happened to me once on the BAF and once on Lambda.

    Both times it was a maximum sized pre-made league.

    Both times it happened immediately upon zoning in.

    Astral Merits?

    Eventually they're going to be used for something else.

    But right now it is indeed just "Hey, you beat a phase! Have some bonus threads!"
  16. You know, I was kind of wondering if something like that was happening.

    My endurance has been terrible all day today when I was doing the trials.

    But when I was running my tips missions, I didn't have any problems.

    Yes, it's quite possible. I has a Lambda team that got the Big M down to 5% HP before time ran out, and that was only because we only managed 8 of the 10 items and had to spend time grinding the spawns outside to get more temps.

    If we'd had two more acids or two more pac grenades, we'd have got him.
  18. I'm kind of annoyed with the way the trial mobs are built. Piles of Fire/Energy/Psi damage, boosted to hit capacity, the capability to FLOOR my Willpower's Regen, the ability to floor my EVERYTHING'S recovery, massive -Recharge and slows.

    It's like they took everything I hate about Malta, Carnies, PPD, and the Knives and stuck it all in one faction.
  19. In order to keep the reinforcements from building up there ought to be a few people or one of the three teams, dedicated to wiping them out while Siege and Nightstar are whittled down. We got them down to 15% HP on ours, and then we were overrun when we had several people have to hospital at once, thus being unable to get rid of the bosses.
  20. We had this happen at the start of a BAF Trial with a pre-made league of 24 members.

    Entered the trial, immediately got kicked, league disbanded.
  21. It means they will always recharge in exactly 2 minutes (I think is the time). No more, no less.

    To be perfectly honest though for the amount of influence you've poured into this build, from a power-building point of view you'd be about a million times better off with a shield defense scrapper. More HP, more damage, more resists, same defense, same capped DDR, slightly less recharge (which can easily be compensated for via spiritual), a retarded pbaoe on a short cooldown, and a t9 that doesn't suck.

    If your concept requires SR though, feel free to ignore the above paragraph - just felt it needed to be said.
    Can't pair up Katana and Shield. Only Broadsword.
  23. And if all the children in the world were born boys we wouldn't have a human race anymore. *rollyeyes* :P
