Well, you could choose to skip the tutorial and start in Rogues Isles.
It sounds more like the OP didn't apply his serial code from Going Rogue correctly, or made a brand new account by mistake. Or is just plain confused, possibly by the new tutorial. Hopefully he replies again and clarifies exactly where the problem is. -
Quote:You also have to remember that Ouroboros several years old. A lot of the tools they have in place now didn't exist then. IIRC this was one of the main improvements just after they were sold to NC Soft. They would have been just coming up with new systems after quite a while on a fairly low-budge maintenance by Cryptic.Originally Posted by Texas Justice
The Devs have said before that Ouroboros is a dirty dirty hack. I can't recall if it was something said in a uStream or at the Player Summit, but they did say that as the reason why they haven't combined them.
That's why the "simple" solutions proposed by so many players won't work. -
My Shield/War Mace tanker. I started to toon mostly for concept. Shield Defense starts out kinda weak. There's just barely enough defense to soft cap SD at high levels, so before SOs it's still really quite vulnerable compared to something like Invulnerability.
Then SOs make a big difference, and IOs make an even bigger one. Now the sturdiness is great, War Mace provides self buffs, soft controls and AoE which mesh well with Shield Defense's self buffs and AoE. It's a very decent combo.
I'd include my Fortunata too, but that wasn't really a surprise, I was gung-ho on that character from the beginning. -
Quote:I don't click on a CoH icon to start the game, I use the launcher. Is a "direct start" like that even supported any more? It might just be luck that it is working at all.Originally Posted by Quantum Evil
So lately, I have been clicking my trusty COH icon and the NC Launcher will activate and then open the little Launching Game window. Then it just stops there until I force a close from the task manager. When I click on it a second time, it'll work just fine. Is anyone else having this issue or is it just my karma justifiably coming to get me?

The old GC and DA were previously accessible by Rogues, but not any more. Which is the issue.

Doesn't *need*, no, but it is certainly easier if half the team is +3. -
TPN is easier once you figure out how it goes, and can organize a small krew to clobber seers while the rest of the league beats up technicians. Until you can do that, it's a disaster.
BAF should be pretty easy. If everyone was dying and quitting, then you had a newbie league. It was either all unshifted or +1 like you, or all new folks who didn't know anything about it. An normal league with a bunch of +2 and +3 should be able to carry a similar number of new folks (Barrier for the win), but if you don't have enough shifted folks it is much more difficult.
Keep plugging away at those, is what I'm saying. Eventually, more folks will learn them, you'll get more shifts, and the trials will get easier. -

I know logically it doesn't make sense to have a portal to them in red side's Ouroboros since they were blue side zones.
To me, "logically" it does make sense. Comic book logic, anyway. If it's just an "echo," why can't Rogues and Villains visit? It really doesn't seem like an issue to me, from any story or RP perspective. (I'm sure there's still technical hurdles...)
But anyway, yes, soon-ish, I hope the devs put some effort into doing this. -
I'll try to be there; I need to get some stuff done to clear out that slot on Sunday however. *crosses fingers*

Quote:I think the reason for Hamidon swarming, however, was the war between Primal and Praetoria. The detente between Cole and Hamidon was being broken by all the struggle between the resistance, Primal and Praetoria.Originally Posted by InfamousBrad
Wasn't the whole point of the KIR trial to keep Praetorian Hamidon from getting access to Praetoria and the portals underneath it? Wasn't Prometheus' theory that if that happened, Praetorian Hamidon would swarm through into our dimension and kill us all? Wasn't it?
Wars over, no more struggle, Hamidon calms down. Or that's what I was thinking.
Cole actually did save both our worlds, by destroying his. -
Also, I'm not an expert on SS/WP brutes, but I don't see any issues with the way you've slotted yours. It seems a reasonable plan.

BTW, did Zwill mention anything about the All Access Paragon Market section

That *is* a rule and one they do enforce for everybody, VIP and F2P alike. No worries, you just didn't know about it. I'm sure no one will object to getting build advice here, the rules aren't like that.
(BTW, I did send a PM to Z-man, and he replied, basically, that he would consider it.) -

Meanwhile, the 30 teams are inside a mission doing team things.
This is the problem that both the search window and the LFG queue were supposed to solve. We're still not quite there yet. -

Quote:These are both improvements I'd like to see as well. 1. Improve the search window, please. It's still more confusing that it needs to be to find people. 2. And make the LFG work for teams, so that anyone who wants can open their team to the LFG and folks can join.Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
Changes that need (should) be made, though, are improvements to the search window (namely, a button to filter out players already on a team). Also, trying to make the 'LFG' window help you find a group would be nice as well.
While I'm thinking about it, the Search window and the LFG should be integrated better. We can set a "looking for Trial flag" in our Search window. Why not add a player to the LFG queue automatically? Ditto for TF/SFs. And the "looking for any" flag should likewise put you in the LFG for anything.
(Actually, I'm wondering if the "looking for ..." flags in the search window are obsolete now, but that's another discussion.)
Finally, when the 2nd request above is implemented ("make LFG work for teams") the rest of the flags in the Search window ("looking for missions", "looking for patrol", etc.) should add you in the LFG queue for teams.
Going the other way, if I'm in the LFG queue for X, then X should appear as my flag in the search window.
(We've been asking for the ability to find the number of players in the LFG queue, and see who is waiting for what. Could this capability be added to the Search window? Hmm... maybe...) -
I'm expecting some dogs and lions lore pets any second now.

Guys, I seriously doubt any of our Mods would outright Ban someone for posting a build in the wrong section.
You have a valid point; I'll PM Zwill in a moment and suggest that the Build Forum also be given all player access.Quote:Originally Posted by monkeyslap
I am not VIP so I am not able to post my build in the Archetype forums section, which I think kinda stinks.
Quote:I was wondering if it was against forum rules to post my build in this section to get advice from experienced players.
Nope, I vote for not against the rules in any way. It's a question, post away.
Don't forget to use Mids if you can: http://www.cohplanner.com/ -
I've using the Roman outfit with the Spartan shield and flanged mace as my time travel look for a while now.
If you can add maces as acceptable along with swords, I'll try to show up. -

Staff Fighting isn't tomorrow.
Although, I would say that tomorrow's item is pretty much my favorite Paragon Market offering. -
This does sound like fun, especially the "die as many times as possible" part. Who wants to start getting a team together for that ITF?

On my badger I need Keyes and MoM I think. Most if not all.

Yeah the invention license is $2 per month AFAIK. That'll reactivate all your IOs you have slotted, and allow you to visit the University to make more. You *won't* have Auction House access still--that's another $2 per month.
However those are probably the main ones as far as your personal situation is concerned. And you can play a lot of stuff for $4 per month.
Also, don't forget that you have two builds now (visit a trainer to switch to your 2nd build). You could SO out the 2nd build and be fine with just that, if you really don't want to pay. You won't be as awesome as all the IOs, but you won't suck either. -
Does it come with retractable claws and a smart-gun link?
