I find people who use the word "Hate" in theyre titles or label people haters usually have some issues that need to be resolved.

Quote:Umm you might not want to start with a domOriginally Posted by Naruto98
Thank you so much for the info. I'll try to make a mind fire dom since a lot of other posts suggest to make that toon. Please post any build that you think are good. Try not to be too pricey. My question is should PvP toons have high defense and resistance because other builds for PvP have low defense and resistance but high regeneration and stamina. Should i also get perma hasten? Thanks all for feedback.
They are good toons dont misunderstand, but they take a certain amount of skill and knowledge, not to mention money to build, to play correctly or you will might be sleeping on the pavement alot.
We learn by dirt naps so not alls bad hehe, just dont want you to be dissapointed and not pvp anymore. The more the merrier
I'd go with regen scrapper or almost any stalker, stalkers with phase can escape most situations ..
This will allow you to watch "hidden" alot and see whats going on around you, learn a few things while running from the gank squads lol "joking"
With some advice on build a tank is an excellent 1st choice because of the larger hp points u have some survivability.
I started pvp wit stalker years ago, found it at the time to be best to learn and watch. Nothing wrong with sitting around watching what others do
GL
Edited ... Defense is not useless in pvp while added accuracy now does plow through low defenses .. the melee toons that use defense like stalkers can be quite good depending on how you build it. Elude type powers still are very good, keep in mind no build not resist or def will save you if its 10 vs 1 u r going down lol.
Defense on defenders, blasters, doms, corrs.... well the lowe defenses u r capable of r not ver good, resist sheilds are the better road and real easy to cap.
You will learn more about builds and what works and what doesnt as you experiment and go along .. some good stuff to know ..
Health Points = higher the better try and cap this
Obviiosly regen and recovery is imprtant same as pve .. in pvp u have some people who will try and sap ur end so becareful if ur a heavy end user.
Resistance is the beter choice for most toons not all. but tough from fight pool is good on all toons.
Recharge rate try and cap this
Damage for most builds should be up there, unless your a healer or buffer and trying to play more support .. Becareful alot players do nothing but go after support because they are afraid to attack a tank or brute lol half a joke but there are some lazy people want nothing but quick easy kills
Price .. ive made some very playable toons with reg io sets, no purps or pvp sets, you would be surprised what u can get away with for reasonable money
What server you on? if u need some help pm me maybe i can help n show u a few toons i enjoy in pvp.
again good luck -
I just used paypal and it went through fine, guessing its luck of the draw when using CC # and them being able to handle the numbers trying to purchase ..
If you have it use paypal, or get frustrated lol -

Quote:Who assumed? lolOriginally Posted by Quasadu
usually Double XP does not apply to AE. I see no reason to assume it will be different this time.
I think hope was the word i used lol
And still hoping .. -
I was wondering if anyone has heard of 2xp for AE this time around, I know last time there was none during the special 2X weekend.
I was hoping this time around AE might be granted the same respect as other missions and arc's

Quote:What he saidOriginally Posted by XFUNK
For casual zone pvp or small arena fights some PVE builds can do suprisingly well. I have an invul/dark tank made for PVE that does really well in zones. And i have a fire/mm blaster that the Pve build is actually more fun to play in pvp than the PVP build.
I see a lot of people on my home server saying the reason they don't pvp is because other players have "more purples" than they do, which is just silly.
Some powerset combos do better than others and yes player skill and basic familiarity with the pvp mechanics( there aren't many) will give an obvious advantage, but a cheap basic io build can do just fine in most settings.
Don't feel that you need to spend 10 billion on your toon before you can pvp. There are many cheaper alternatives that can get you in the fight. everyone dies, just get out there and have fun.

Quote:The Siege mish is still outragously bugged with over the top regen so 99% teams cant beat him, forget soloOriginally Posted by Heraclea
I did this the first couple times through, and it worked then. His regeneration is wonky: the character I was running it on when it bugged out was a rad defender, and if any character in the game could cut his regen down to size, that one should do it. I suspect he is regenerating whether he has a clone out or not.
Also a report of a BS/Shield scrapper not being able to dent him. Anything that can be soloed should be soloable on that one.
Now they make another mish like this? seriously ....
This sint a TF its a story arc isnt it, why do we need something with crazy regen to = challenging lol lets be a little honest here, this whole alpha slot thing is to give 50s and never ending "endgame" goal lol
Why the fudge do we need a trapdoor that u cant solo?? gee let me waste n hour trying to get a team in a month when the novelty calms down
Sorry dev's bad call on this one, n btw fix siege too while ur at it, pleaseeeee -
Quote:A friend of mine had his email items missing also last week or so, it was right after a server maint...Originally Posted by Tatum
How come the only time I get a response from GM's is when I classify my petition as "STUCK" anything else I never here a word on it. Just ran Abandon Sewer Trial and received no reward. I also never heard a word back about enhancements missing from my Emails going back now about a month.
They emailed him they they were advancing his petition to a higher tech, who emailed him and asked for more details. As of yet there has been no actual remedy except for the two emails.
He cashed in merits for recipies before the downtime, minutes or hours i have no idea, but when he returned after servers up the emails were gone, I would assume to replace merits cant be that hard but who am I right ..
Might be good idea if they send gerneral warning out dont email yourself anything on server reboot day LOL half a joke hehe

Quote:lol someone mentioned vid card overheat, wonder who it was .. lol, It's a more common issue than people think, many give up n just buy new cards, systems ..Originally Posted by EvilGeko
Well so far so good, but this actually worked!
No crashes during an Apex. I'll try turning the fan up next time I play. Maybe this is the solution.
anyways glad u might be up and running, good luck -

Here's the last error if anyone can decipher:

Going back to 10.9 drivers.
Nothing is going to really come up in any error reports because nothing is set up to watch vid cards temps and since ur system is only worried about cpu temps u wont see anything there.
Last time but its worth a shot to check this, took me a week to realise what my issue was and funny thing is this happened to a friend ingame bout 1.5 yrs ago. because of his issue back then its what made me go there.

Quote:+ if your planning on pvp with it weave wont do much at all, tough on the other hand will have a noticable affect in pvp, however it max's out quickly if you get an epic with +resist you will probably hit the cap and tough will be a waste of a power and endurance.Originally Posted by Jade_Dragon
Well, not really. Defenses work best when stacked with other defenses, and so having just Tough or Weave by themselves isn't that helpful. On the other hand, when stacked with some IO defenses, plus Combat Jumping and some defenses from the Epic pools, they can really start to do some good.
What you are probably wanting to know is that Tough is 10.5% Resistance to Smashing and Lethal, and Weave is 3.5% Defense to all. That's about the lowest it gets, even a Corruptor gets more benefit out of those powers, at 11.25% for Tough's Resistance.
Also since Tough is only good against Smashing or Lethal damage, it's really only useful against melee attacks, so it's really only useful if you're planning on being a Blapper.
Finally, I would say that if you are going to pick up Tough and Weave, you won't want to bother with it until after 22, when you can slot it with some End reduction. In the lower levels you will probably find it impossible to keep either up all the time, much less both of them. Honestly, Combat Jumping is probably better for the early levels, it's only half of Weave's Defense, but costs almost no End, and will enable you to get in and out of melee faster.
Food for thought incase your considering a lil pvp

Quote:I recently upgraded one of my pc's, I used my older case but upgraded the mb and processor..Originally Posted by EvilGeko
Tried 10.9 still getting crashes. I don't understand this. I can play other games for hours with nary a problem. CoH has decided that it doesn't want to work with me.
Everything was fine from August to October .. November I noticed some crashing during AE or High mob number missions, at first i thought it was the game .. others had problems dc'n .. but my issues caused a restart wich worried me.
Flash forward ..
After the crashing became more common I noticed my pc cranking up big time during those instances processor and with that the fans kicking in higher..
granted I had air conditioner on during aug-sept room was cooler, but i was considering an overheat issue
but the processor temps were fine, more than fine..
hmm I thought video card overheat (i run 2 ati's/crossfire).
I tried the old school method of taking side case off n placing small fan next to it and presto bingo bango no more crashing..
Im getting a new case just being lazy but the newer processor and mb ontop of the games new ultra modes and obviously higher content/people/graphics is just enough to push my cards over the edge on heat. it will cause just enough of a delay to crash ur system sometimes.
No Air Cond on sometimes during the past months after summer started fading .. an the game cranking up my system tells me something is drawing more from me.
Atlas chatting fine or base building fine.. solo mish set low fine .. 8 man mish n bang crashola .. thats what made me thing graphic's cards with all the effects flying..
Can't hurt to try it, take side case off n aim small fan into it.. if solves the porblem get another case fan or case, I have watercooled fan for cpu but now i need push more air thru for the vid cards .. after the holidays lol
Good Luck -
OOPs just realised it was the cd rom drive you mentioned ignore my reply, editing because im sleepy n didnt fully read it lol
Good Luck -
They didn't remove it. Its a bug and was reported on test the dev's are aware of it and confirmed it is not something they intended and will return soon/someday

Quote:Not sure but it is a possibilty. I hadnt tried it untill just recently since i was working on some other things.Originally Posted by NordBlast
I'm wondering if it became broken in some recent patch.
I've done this mission solo on my bane in first 2-3 weeks after i18 release ( against Siege EB though ).
While he seemed to be little more difficult than most of EBs, I haven't had any problems with his heals. I had to kite around alot to avoid his orbital nuke though.
Funny because the rest of the arc is ridiculously easy with the help of the hero elites kicking butt all over the missions.
No balance on that arc is there lmao, fun to do though n watch lol -
Quote:Yes it doesOriginally Posted by Mega_Jamie
It does give badge credit, Siege was the last AV I was missing, I did that mission, I got the badge.
All the pretorians count towards the badge in the new epics, do the arc and check the defeat badge count.
They all count now -
Quote:Yea sad isnt it lolOriginally Posted by EarthWyrm
We didn't have a full team, but 2 scrappers + rad defender + kin defender left us unable to take him down, even when both scrappers spiked a pile of big reds right after he healed to damage cap themselves (all the minions around him were already dead, so no FS...). We drained him to zero blue-bar with transfusion/transference and the heal still went off. It went off when he was chain held and the PTOD were down (switched from my kin to a grav/rad, and 2 rads was also a no-go). If there were something in the mission that you could DO (like, if shutting down the transmitters shut off his ability to heal), then there'd at least be some strategy. But a bag of HP who heals for 7k every time you get him down to 25% health is not a challenge - it's poor design. I shouldn't need to try to find a Cold or /Poison for some -special to beat a flunky AV.
Not really fond of waiting to lvl 50 to get this badge/accolade through oro and running another set of X mish till it pops up, is this really that hard to fix??
Oro limitations on any arc's aren't exactly player friendly in this instance since you cant join any teams untill u finsih whatever goals your shooting for. Players/teamates must be within level range ..
So you need the time to commit to the Oro arc .. wish you could pick individual missions thru from Oro list in this particular arc since the new replacement is broken
-
Passing on this one too

Quote:Was going to ask that next TY, looked last night didnt see it. Im lvl 48 Oro showed lvl 45 stuff so im assuming these are only available to 50's?Originally Posted by Ironblade
FYI, both arcs are available in Ouroboros. The new arc is called 'A Hero's Epic'. The old one is called 'A Hero's Hero'.
P.S. Both of Tina MacIntyre's arcs are also there. The new one is 'The Instant Army'. The old one is 'The Praetorian War'.
Either way ill check tonight for those titles Thanks Iron appreciate it

Quote:True lol and i dont really mind it, just that whenever u say something os broken someone always says how much they love it LOLOriginally Posted by Ironblade
Odd. I've soloed that arc on different toons and never found Siege particularly difficult. I've only soloed Recluse once but I thought he was harder.
Ah, but you posted in a public forum so there WILL be discussion.
I tried a different approach
Was the mish the new revamped version of ole siegie poo and his pretorian bots? looks like they revamped it to be more inline with going rogue graphics, animations and toons ..
I did find this arc funny with Stateman rolling thru every other mish tooling the badies lol im half way thru them il finish it tonight hopefully ill get old siegie later on. -
Quote:Im not getting any choice in arc's just rolling through them as they come, I'm assuming after going through one round it will repeat with the old missions, as jenkins did before the revamp she offered up all the Pretorians again in slightly different missions..Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
when i ran through the old maria arc seige wasnt any different than he used to be (like no heal ect)
the new seige only appears in an extra mish after you complete "heroes epic" story arc as far as im aware of
Anyways I did notice these new missions do count towars the badge/accolade.
Full teams with debuffers also failing on this my friend said everyone quit after an hour lol funny stuff.
Toss out some more dance emotes .. its ok if mission fixes are put on hold lol
Good Luck n Adios -
Quote:I am running the old arc and still .. stuck on mish 2 lol if he doesnt count then why even add it into Jenkins ...Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
first of all, the siege in that mish does NOT count towards dimensional warder
i think the knowledge of his heal being completely overpowered has been out there since GR launch, and most poeple just avoid it since it doesnt give badge credit anyway
this is a new model of seige too if you run the old arc then he will still be his old wimpy self
I'll auto then I hope your right. -
Hello Mr Dev if you read this, can you check the heal on the revamped Seige mish on the AV arc's Hero side.
I normally could solo this and take my time to get the badges needed for the accolade. Sure depending on the toon im using some elites were harder than others.. obvioulsy im not doing this on a diff setting to get AV's.
So using a tank right now it was lvl 47 mish set 0-1 no boss .. I could get him down below 1/3rd health n his heal kicks in .. after an hour i gave up, even had friend join and help.
I levelled my toon to 48 upgraded enhancements to 50s same friend he was lvl 43 km/Reg scrapper lowered diff to -1 so now im 2 levels higher and still its a stalemate because his heal is always up n ready for him to use. I dont think a 3rd level higher will even matter
So that being said and im not asking for advice or want to form a team or using this n that of coarse i know all about those options lol...
I can take down Lord Recluse in the patron arc's with any toon ive made since that launched being 2 levels higher .. Isn't it a little unusual to be able kick the kingpin of evils butt but not a flunky? lol
If any red name reads this can you check the rech time on the heal please and consider changing it, I know teaming is encouraged however this in this it has never been needed before. It isnt a tf/sf. I dont have time for teams and to be perfectly frank just not in the mood at times.
I want my soloable story arch back and be able to unwind n chill with 0 drama and 0 waiting lol
Again 'Not" looking for advice so please id appreciate no "realism blah blah i like it i hate i agree i disagree i i i" lol not being rude just nothing to discuss really im posting letting the chips fall where they may ....."
Just a request to Mr Red Name
Thank You -
Quote:Possibly .. My friends have noticed the same thing with defense based toons with Veats being the exception.Originally Posted by Mercury_Down
Maybe you have noticed a difference because more ATs have access to +tohit powers like tactics or focused accuracy (+tohit and acc in FA) with the APP/PPP switchovers providing more flexibility in builds. It's only going to get worse for defense-based toons when inherent fitness and incarnates show up in i19.
A few think it is a nerf but im not too sure since no mention of anything like this was said.
Was pretty sad to see elude had zero affect the other day when I was hit by 2 toons who never missed once lol while a few months back i would have been able to withdraw quite easlily.
Just wondering and asking .. staying away from any def AT's for a while since it = dirt eater lol
