Open your "Powers" window and click on the "Combat Attributes" bit in the window handle.

I'm a regular player, and I'm getting a benefit - albeit mainly on the characters I play less often.

And badges! Shiny badges! *polishes display case*

Extending Hess would just exacerbate the "go into council cave. kick fascist bottom. rinse. repeat." effect associated with doing the late-20s TFs close together.

Posi could do with being trimmed, but on a small team I wouldn't even say it was long - I'm not exactly the hardest-core CoH player, and I did it in 2h13 recently as part of a trio (tanker/defender/peacebringer).

Anyway, I think the setback should be pretty heavy to avoid leading to a potential cookie-cutter build.

Flipside: A lot of (competent) people won't want to team with you, because you've nerfed yourself in the name of cool.

Given that it's not out yet, you can no more credibly claim that it is balanced than that it isn't.

And ten gets you twenty that CO will not be balanced by the time it goes gold.

I see no reason why co-op zones shouldn't have opt-in pvp on a timer, perhaps with a better drop rate if you are pvp-flagged.

Because Vanguard will ban your butt if you start infighting on duty

This is interesting. Strictly, you shouldn't have posted it to the forums, but only sent it directly to NC as a bug report, as you appear to have provided a detailed description of how to carry out an exploit.

Generally villians are easier to solo than heroes for some reason.

I think that once you drop Masterminds and Empathy or Force Fields Defenders from consideration, it looks a lot more even.

You convert base/component salvage to brainstorms, and brainstorms to Invention Salvage, at an Invention Worktable.

If you were allowed to leave the base in a temporarily invalid state, then the server would have to keep track of the entire editing session, and discard everything you'd just done if you got d/c'd while the base was in an invalid state.

Far, far simpler, safer, and more robust to just forbid the base to ever be put into an invalid state.

i swear some salvages that used to be worth like 3000 are now on 50-100 influence =S not good

[/ QUOTE ]
There is currently a glut of Invention Salvage due to people cashing in their old Base and Component Salvage. I'm sure it won't last forever.

speeds not bad for me, but i dont get why i even have to dl anything...wasn't that the whole point of the download that started when i logged off a few weeks back?

[/ QUOTE ]
The predownload doesn't contain the whole patch. It contains a snapshot of a beta version of the patch, which is enough to make your patchday download only be 53MB instead of 200MB.

If you don't want to overpay, never bid more than you think a thing is worth

But farming isn't playing the game

give to pvp some rewards

Siren's Call already does

It's gonna be a sb and Id machine and debuffer. But when i attack i do want those unresistable long range psi attacks.

Have fun with your "unresistable" attacks when a DA brute decides to remove your face

[ QUOTE ]
Ok, then make it 50k (each turret) x 7 (pillboxes) x 4 (turrets each pillbox) x 4 (times you can do it in an hour) = 5.6 million an hr, npcs and drops apart, provided that you just stand still the 5 minutes it takes to reset the zone

[/ QUOTE ]
And assuming nobody decides to intervene to prevent temporal reset, or assassinates you.

It should be noted that I heartily approve of both responses to farming

[ QUOTE ]
And they could do something with Recluse's Victory. Instead of having Level 54 Turrets why not reduce them to Level 50. This would dramatically lower the rewards they give. Also, lower the "Elite Boss" Heavies down to Level 50 so it can prevent players from being one-shotted.

[/ QUOTE ]
Works for me.

1- Confuse: How it works in PvP. How you can confuse a Player or MMs pets if you can confuse a player at all. Does it normal confusion or Boss state (double application)

[/ QUOTE ]
A confused player in PvP has their targeting reticule randomly redirected every time they attack, I believe.

Some powers may grant protection from Confusion, but by default a player can be Confused with a single application of a Confuse power.

[ QUOTE ]
And yeah if they can't see you, they can't follow you (only heavies in RV keep following you out of LoS, dunno if it's WAI or a bug, tho)

[/ QUOTE ]
It's not breaking LoS that stops someone from following you; it's moving far enough away from them that their perception radius, minus your stealth, is less than the distance from you to them. It's conceivable that Heavies have an enormous perception radius

[ QUOTE ]
The SG Mission Computer is USEFUL, but POINTLESS with the CoP trial working.

[/ QUOTE ]
It's only pointless-without-the-CoP for Heroes; for Villains, it grants access to Silver Mantis's Strike Force.

[ QUOTE ]
stalkers need better protection from ranged attacks.

[/ QUOTE ]
No, actually, they don't. You need to learn to deal with the fact that a blaster who pops Aim and Build Up back-to-back gets an eight second window where they can defeat the DEF of... well, just about anyone, actually. In PvE it's enough to hit a Paragon Protector through Moment of Glory.

[ QUOTE ]
As mentioned above, 4 seconds with every shield in the set, even against a few opponents is pretty rubbish.

[/ QUOTE ]
In PvE, if you take on three +0 Power Pattern Paragon Protectors at once, how well do you fare?

[ QUOTE ]
With some stalkers they think they are safe just by flying around in hide but by thinking that they become the hunted and get sneaked up on them self

[/ QUOTE ]
Anyone of any AT who allows themselves to be complacent in a PvP zone deserves to be casually dismembered by someone who's paying attention

[ QUOTE ]
by the very nature of being a defender, perhaps having enough defense? Perhaps? to survive long enough to at least have the chance to take out one of his foes.

[/ QUOTE ]
The nature of being a Defender is to buff or heal allies or to debuff enemies.

It's worth noting that that Emp/Dark Defender will also make a pretty ropey soloist in PvE, so I don't see why you're expecting him to be any good at solo PvP.

Edited to add: Would you expect that Emp/Dark Defender to be able to survive long enough to take down one of the three +0 Freakshow Tank Smashers that had all decided his head would look better with a few sledgehammer dents in it?
