Some context - I've been out of CoX for a year and a half and I"m getting back in the saddle, with my prime, NRG/NRG/Force Blaster.

Lots of stuff to re-learn/learn anew.

I've gone through some of the more recent guides and threads on here and I have a basic question.

I've got two IO Sets, Freebird and some set for my sniper attack. I have one free respec. What's the best way to proceed (still have Stamina, need to respec to get inherent stamina at some point).

Should I create a build to fit the IO's I have now, build up recipes\sets then respec later, or should I build for the future?

Some other questions I could use clarity on:
1. Permahasten is still a goal right? 3 x Recharge?
2. I notice some NRG/NRG builds not taking sniper attacks?
3. I need more defence as I'm fine being a blapper. What primary or secondary powers should I not take in favor of +Defense builds, eg, Fighting\Boxing\Weave?

For #3 in the past I've always focused on smart blasting in groups or pushing out enough DPS\blapping + inspirations to eek through tougher fights if I have to.

Any tips for a death from above, range\blapper would be appreciated. IF there's a pointer to a more recent guide (newest was from early 2010 looked like) that too would be great.

Thanks.

On a somewhat unrelated note, I just want to take a second to thank you guys for being so positive and excited about this feature that's consumed so much of my life for so long.

You can please some of the customers some of the time ...
... the other one's are just plain ungrateful idiots!

this game should lower its monthly fee to $9.99 instead of 14.99 imo. its getting old. its 5yrs old now. any game this old should not be going for 14.99/month still. if the rate wasn't so high i would keep my subscription going for a longer time. since its so high i will only subscribe for one more month before quiting.

Find your bridge did you?

Pusillanimous, odious, pestiferous crepehanger!

I am a Type R Cat Herder - fear the meow herd!

Honestly I'm befuddled by the utter lack of publicity about the amazing milestone that this MMO has achieved - player generated content!!! What other MMO has this even on the horizon?!

Whoever is doing marketing for y'all need a shot of adrenalin.

Leave the dev's alone.

They worked miracles with 13 people, now that they're on steroids and upstaffed you're going to see some AWESOME content coming.

Let. Them. Work.

Actually, it means you can SKIP taking the first or second power in the Travel Power Pools and, at level 6, pick the travel power immediately. No pre-requisites.

I certainly hope you're planning to offer these to the PC version players too ... ?

... I would MUCH rather have seen the resources be put into a technology refresh than deployment to another platform...

This feature is ... interesting.

Not bad, kinda nice, still ruminating.

Interesting, hmm.

In the end we wanted to create a special gift for those folks that come out to our booth and show us love.

You get my love once a year with my annual subscription, every year since CoH went live.

Sheesh.

It is not a set of player costume pieces and it required very very little time to create as the PPD Hardsuit was already made and the power to change you into it was already made for the Halloween event.

Ok. I'm fine with this then if it's a perm version of a temp power.

Nah. This sucks. Some of us on the east coast that can't squeeze in a trip to the west coast for Pax are getting shafted. I would have preferred a temp power reward that expires after N uses that something more permanent like a costume set.

While I still think PA, PAX and CoX rock, this move is the fail.

I'm hoping at some point there's plan for a GFX engine overhaul. Sure, it may be a year or so in the making, but after they put in ragdolls and other CoV enhancements in CoH, well ...

What about something for the rest of us ...

Option to enable/disable chat window fade isn't working. You can set it to disabled, but once you zone, chat window flips back to fading even though option shows it disabled.
Happens consistently on all my characters.

Careful when you save/load window options between CoH and CoV - you can end up with a red, or blue, color for your UI if you save from CoH and load in CoV, or vice versa

This doesnt seem to be working for me. I do have "Remember Account Name" checked, but It's not remembering the order I moved them to- in fact, now they are showing up completely scrambled. To the point im even getting "unavailible slot" showing up in the middle of my list sometimes.

There a bug with it that the next build should fix.

[/ QUOTE ]

It only sorts the last 12 characters your sorted, look in the file under your logon name under the CoH game directory.

Good to hear there's a fix coming.
