Shared Recipe Storage Racks.

Global Account storage items (1 storage for all, or seperate [recipe, enh, salvage]). Only Toons from the same Global Account can access them.

Nameable Salvage Racks/Enh Tables.
Ie: "Science Enh & Natural Enh", "Magical Salvage", "White Salvage".

W00T - YATTA - or whatever pple say nowadays to show their excitment.

What do you guys think about arranging something once we "go live" to celebrate.
Costume contest, SF, Rikti Raid, or...??

Or we arrange a Rikti Raid of our own to celebrate the new SG

Monday 1st of March at 8:30pm Eastern Time I wil be running my very first Manticore TF (levels 30-35).

This will not be a speed run.

---------------
As a side note - for those unaware we have a new SG "S.E.N.T.I.N.E.L" - it already has TP to most zones, Enh Bench, Crafting Table and Salvage Racks (as of last night - more may already be added).
I welcome all Bluesiders to join this new group that will be run by Lili, Min Min, Redoubt and myself - much the same way that SINISTER is run.
---------------

Cheers

Okay next Monday (22/02/2010) at 8:30pm Easters Aust time (NSW) I will be hosting a 3rd Respec Trial.

Meet in PI (Peregrine Isle) and be level 44+ (NOTE: SSK does not allow toons below level 44 to be part of this respec).

This respec puts us against Rikti.

Team spots are not reserved - its a first in first served basis on the night.

See you all on Monday

Cheers Rangle, Im comparing at the moment

I forgot to include my Data Chunk (so chunky you can carve it - if you get that referrecne you get 2 merits)

Hi all, kinda new to IO builds and this is all done using Mids.
Trying to keep the cost down so no Purples .

I already have some of these sets (5 of the Gaussian, 6 ToD, 4 Sciro, and 2 of the Healing Uniques [forget which ones], 5 CrushImpact).

Am aiming for Def first and Recovery second.

Also I do SSK down to do TF or to help my friends which is why I made the default IO level 33 - kinda middle ground.

Also I use Ninja Run + the Jetpack to travel.

Have a look and recommend some options or if I have missed anything important:

Thanks all

Fire_Minded I normally walk into the mob before using Shield Charge. The AaO +dmg kicks in and SC does ever greater damage, then Whirling Axe and Pendulum and that is a LOT of damage. Anything standing then gets Cleave (after lining it up to hit 2 mobs if possible - any more than 2 is too hard).

Axe DOES take a lot of END - before my tank got to 44 and took PhsyPerfection I was always waitign after a fight for my end to come back. larger fights or fights against tougher enemies normally saw me popping blues.

I am in the middle of respecing and re-IOing him to keep my Def at 45% and finding the best way to do so without purples (3 slotted Blessing allows me to not need Mako or Oblit/Scir for the +Range and +AoE)

//Hands Oedipus Tex heart medication and walking frame.

"Its ok old timer, yes the past was harder but constant advances in technology allows the newer generations an easier ride.
We all thank you for your hard work and toil.
Know that when you pass on we will remember you and /em drink to your memory.
People for many generations will still refer back to your glorious DOM GUIDE (even if it is outdated) .
Rest easy old timer and know that the future is in well intentioned hands"



Ohhh btw yes Im happy to run an "old skool" SF

I have a SD/Axe Tank and find that I rearly (if ever) hit more than 2 with Cleave.
It does require some trial and error lining up more than one but even if u miss the damage is enough to be included in your attack chain.

Pendulum = DROOOOL.

Awesome graphic, 180 degree arc, good damage. I took Pendulum late as I wanted to get my Def higher (Weave) but am thinking of respecing now that im 50 (as of 3 days ago).

I found that END was an issue even witrh Stam 4 slotted. I am however still IOing him as this is my first serious attempt with IO's.

Create a file in notepad with the following:

//Summonin' Dem Thugz!!
//
Menu "Thugs"
{
Title "Callin' The Posse"
Option "&1 Call Thugs" "powexec_name Call Thugs"
Option "&2 Call Enforcer" "powexec_name Call Enforcer"
Option "&3 Call Bruiser" "powexec_name Call Bruiser"
Option "&4 Gang War!!" "powexec_name Gang War"
Divider
Title "Thug Buffin'"
Option "&5 Equip Thugs" "powexec_name Equip Thugs"
Option "&6 Upgrade Equipment" "powexec_name Upgrade Equipment"
}

Save it as a .MNU file (ie: Thugs.mnu)

Then in game type in the follwing:

/MACRO "Thugs" "POPMENU THUGS"

First "%%" (ie: Thugs) is the button name.
Second "%%" (ie: THUGS) is the name of the *.mnu file stored in "\Program Files\City of Heroes\data\texts\English\Menus"


This will allow all Sumon and Enhance/Upgrade power to be selected from 1 button.

NOTE: you need to create the files BEFORE you start the game as it reads for these files when it starts.
Or create during the game but restart.

Anyone got a tissue?

Update OP with Lyriks idea

You dont need a 1680*1050 area to choose your powers.
When in Tailor, give me zoom and move controls. Make the power selection smaller - it doesnt need to take up 1/3 of the screen, with the colour selector another 1/3 and my toons animations appearing behind the colour selector.

Even if the Tailor weindow is Maximised keep the options small giving me more room to view my toon. It HAS to be perfect

I find it annoying that when you go into areas of the game interface you loose access to the chat windows.
Examples are: Tailor, Leveling/Respecing, Power Slotting.

What I would like is instead of those areas bringing up a whole new window, it appears as an "underlay" to your UI windows - effectively still showing your Chat, Target, Nav, Team, Power etc sub-windows (are the Target, Power areas needed - not for this discussion no but I guess it will be easier to show all the sub-windows rather than having the new interface only show "Chat" windows.

If the sub-windows cover parts of the interface, then you can either hide them (clickable option) or move them.
The clickable option would work like when in the tailor and designing your powers "Hide Menu" but would be "Hide Chat" or "Hide Windows" or something.

Opinions...

Good point - didnt think of that .

Also what do you people think of a back-spin attack where the toon spins clockwise doing a backhand-swing for a PBAoE power, rather than ANOTHER jump-slam or backflip-slash animation?

I think we've missed the most important problem with the OP request.
Two-Handed animation would mean you couldnt also use the Shield powerset.
Cant use a shield to defend yourself while that hand is also swinging your weapon. Doesnt work.

So unless there was a "Great Sword/Great Axe/Maul" Powerset that was ONLY two-handed I dont think you'll see BS/Axe/WM ever getting two-handed animations.

While more gameplay options are great, it still needs to be somewhat realistic in some aspects :P

Never done a Hami run and ill try and make it.
Helping a friend pack their crap so they can move next Wednesday.

Whats involved in a Hami run?

By then I HOPE to have my Crab respecced and IO'd as much as possible (got a lot of INF off a Purple).

This will be a Team based toon with TT:M, TT:A, TT:L, L:M and L:A running (yes im currently working on my Recovery lol). So all up im probably granting a 30% DAM and 22%ish Def and 10%ToHit buff to all those who want to hold my hand

Even if I just stand there buffing everyone and throwing in a Cone or TAoE when my END allows for it (and allowing my Disruptor bots to run free).

Never done the Barracude or Renault so will see whats on offer and who offers the biggest bribe...

My Crab is currently at 49 - although I need to have a 2nd look at the powers and current IO's and do some better IO planning.

Not sure what I should be aiming for with my build (Def, Regen, etc).
Got 2 Pet powers (Spiderlings and Distuptors) but decided against the Patron Pet (Coralax).

If we do a MTF in the future - 3 Crabs [with TT:M] would be awesome

Yes!!!! I won - wooohooo - Thanks Cai

Still wont tell ppl where the Words Of Wisdom are in case that helps with the Red side content

Good luck all (maybe I should make a second account...?) lol

Yes ive still got the bruses from ur prodding Redoubt

I can see where ppl trying to get Blue#1 are wrong - I clicked Finish to the Arc accidentally and lost all the clues for the final mish.
There was a bit I almost missed myself in the arc that hints to part of Prize1... Dont want to say too much in case it unfairly helps someone
