Hey all,

I created a toon a week back in the test server and it had an AWESOME golden skin UI color.
Now it seems I can't recreate it, and was wondering of anyone knows the RGBA colors?

Thanks,
Doubs.

Guys, I respectfully disagree.

These day and age, with the MA running on its fullest potential, people do like fighting +4 LTs, while sidekicked to 50. They (mostly) cannot do alone, and they need a full team to do it anyway. For farmers, that part of I16 is already here. That is, unless I am mistaken and farming is that much worse still (with a team of 5/7 just sitting on the side while a fire/ice tanker sweeps the floor).

Mind you, I still reckon the farming requests will remain as they were. This is because two simple reason - everyone thinks that a team of 6 produce much better XP, and everyone think that they can't solo a bunch of +4 LTs.

This issue is designed for us non-farmers and excitement-looking people. The one with a scrapper that wants to see how good he can get, and those dou folks who had enough of the current difficulity meter. Sadly, the farmers will still populate Atlas Park until they will be stopped.

So I dare to start this thread again:

Does anyone else think that the bug where the first letter disappears when writing something in the chat, when running CoX under Wine, is now resolved? Does anyone dare to check?

Got a kin/sonic at 41, and she is indeed dancing her head off where ever she goes. Even without Speed Boost, she does well.

Yeps

Always say the BST time - it's like an unspoken rule around here

Planning on starting on friday, going through the weekend as we go...

Hey guys,

I haven't done something crazy in a while, so bear with me.

Do you remember those times, where traveling from Peregrine Island to Atlas Park was all about taking a ferry to Talos, jumping over the water to Skyway, and finally flying to the train? Ohh, the grinding that took place back then...

Back then, getting a toon from level 1 to level 40 took a hell of a lot more than 55 hours (total). And now, when I can easily take my troller down the yellow road to level 40 in 55 hours, it's [censored] me off.


What? The first SSTF.
When? Starting at Feb 20th, a friday, at 19:30. It will run as long as it will run, and we'll take our time doing it.
The twist? Only trollers are allowed.

Yes, you heard me. A trollers only SSTF1 weekend.

Attendant list:

So this was completely unexpected:

Cosmic Balance: This power now functions while shapeshifted—Dwarf and Nova forms gain the same benefits as human form.
Dark Sustenance: This power now functions while shapeshifted—Dwarf and Nova forms gain the same benefits as human form.
Gleaming Bolt, Glinting Eye, Gleaming Blast, Luminous Detonation, Shadow Bolt, Ebon Eye, Gravimetric Snare, Shadow Blast and Dark Matter Detonation: Increased base Range to 80’. This makes Human form Kheldians ranged capabilities more useful overall. The 80’ range meshes more evenly with other Ranged AT’s capabilities.
Peacebringer AT Multipliers: increased Human form Melee Damage multiple to 0.85, increased Human form Range Damage multiple to 0.8 and increased Dwarf Form Melee Damage multiple to 1.0.
Warshade AT Multipliers: increased Human form Melee Damage multiple to 0.85, increased Human form Range Damage multiple to 0.8 and increased Dwarf Form Melee Damage multiple to 1.0.
Dwarf Form: You may now shift into Dwarf Form even while Held, Slept or Stunned.

Not only are we getting damage buff, not only do we get the inherit powers in the other forms as well (which, I don't think anyone noticed using the realtime numbers, CAN make a real difference), but we can now change to dwarf while mezzed!

As the rest of the page says, if held in dwarf mode, the resistance will get suppressed, but protections will remain as is!
Coupled with the awesomeness eclipse and double mire, the damage buff to dwarf form is quite nice as this makes dwarf a better scranker - hopefully by much.

Anyway, down to the details:

According to this old forum post from I7, the base damage for all damage is 1.0 (also known as base blaster damage):
<ul type="square">[*] The current base melee damage for dwarfs is 0.85, which is incresed to 1.0![*] Human form's melee damage is 0.75, which is increased to 0.85![*] Human form's ranged damage is 0.62(!), which is increased to 0.8!!![/list]This is a HUGE buff to kheldians. I'm going to respec my WS into being more human-formish...

"While Peacebringers are like bounty hunters,
Warshades are like killing machines."

That said, if you're planning on soloing, the first choise (Peacebringer) is probably the best for your needs, as it gots some pretty decent (although not the best) melee attacks, 2 self heals and 2 HP boosts (including dwarf).

However, by level 38, your Warshade will be able to cap his damage, his accuracy, and his resistance to everything including toxic and psionic, basically makes this "a flying purple fortress of doom" that can solo an entire outdoor map for 8 people, filled with psionic mobs and an AV (Mother Mayhem, for example).

If you ask me, I liked being a flying purple fortress of doom better than a self healing weak version of blaster...

So my MasterMind, a level 36 thugs/dark is basically my all-content toon, and there is a contact, level 35-40, who asks you to do any respec trial in order to do its missions.
Therefore, I'll be running the first respec this sunday, 8th of July at 1pm sharp. Reason i'm running the first one and not the second one is because i'll hardly get any XP (if any) from the first one, and will not outlevel any contacts this way

The respec is 24-33, so i'll exemp down to 33. Minimum to start it is 4, so the higher the levels you join with, the better. Also note, that the contact I mentioned gives you some pretty good AVs/Heroes missions to do. Please sign up

I'll join in with my WS as he needs it - will show up on time unless said otherwise

Aye, SSTF2 was crazy as hell, doing the TF in a total of 3:20 instead of 6-7 hours.

My WS still need Positron, so if you're going to do that one, let us know

Erm, was just about to post that my meeting tomorrow got cancled, and saw that post you said that SSTF2 is delayed to next week?
So, are we doing SSTF2 tomorrow, and when?

I'd love to do SSTF2 with my troller, so count me in. However, I might be late as I have a meeting earlier that day, but i'll try and be there...

Global handle, btw, is @Double

Ouch,
I would if I could but I can't so I won't, already attending a hami raid today (http://uk.boards.cityofheroes.com/sh...=1&amp;fpart=1)

Unlike the others, i'll go for the buffer/holder AT. Tankers and Scrappers do have damage, so they aren't completely gimped (as fire/ go burn, stone/ got granite).

Try playing earth/sonic to 50, or earth/ff, ice/ff - something like that - one of the trollers primary which does no damage (compared to fire/ trollers O.o) and a secondary which won't make it easy on you to solo (like /rad, /kin).

Can count on me mate! Will get my troller, if it's of any use now...

Well, WSs are one of the more challenging ATs to play. If you unleash their full potential they are devastating to the opposition. But if the most complicated AT you can think of is a scrapper you are more likely to be devastating to your own team.

[/ QUOTE ]
Can't even imagin how many times i've gone into an out-door "defeat all + AV", like that nasty Defeat Mother Mayhem and everyone else on the map. With the right team, it can be swift and painless, but if you add a WS into the gang... He can pretty much solo every minion and LT in 2 attacks, and clean up the bosses in 10 seconds or so, moving on to the next mob with full end and HP :P
However, it's a skill hard to master, as they say, so you should play every level of a WS, even if it can get a bit slow - it pays off.

I had the pleasure of teaming with him many, many months back. He will be missed and he was, and still is, a great part of this community...

Hey again,

Just letting you know that I will bring my Kin/Sonic defender, along with my friend, who will play a Fire/Energy tanker, both are 28ish

If it starts at 13:00 GMT, count my WS in...

Wierd, last night I was /ghiden though - try now and if it fails write the global here/PM me and i'll just add you or soemthing

Luc! Add me to your global than, @Double

Hey mate!

I was in the ELITE. Inc. SG a good year or so back, even more. You might remember me as Double Flame or Double Shade...
There are still a few of us playing, like myself, Ms. Personality, Psydock, and maybe even Protector...

Stay in touch mate, you can find me here or send me an ingame tell at @Double ...
