Thanks Father Xmas...

purchased the comp on your $1300 link and it screams!!

Rikiti invasion was smooth without even one stutter...wow..

I doubled the RAM...and after christmas im getting another vid card...

Thaks again...

This is the vid card Father Xmas has in his $1166 rig...(ati)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150477

and this is the Nvidia rig in my $960 rig

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130566

Is one much better than the other?...

Im kinda afraid to go back to ATI...but not unwilling...

Im apologize for my unusable link...and for posting in the wrong place...

Thanks for all of the responses anyway....very helpfull..

One more question....

Is ATI better than Nvidia?.... I just remember all the trouble i had with ATI and city of heroes being compatable....( i noticed COX has ATI now advertised so i guess its true)..

Thanks again for all of your help....

Im a 5 year vet....love this game and the community.....these boards have been helpfull time and time again...

Im asking for a different kind of advice this time.....a new gaming computer rig advice...

I only play COX and nothing ...so this new comp is soley going to be used for this game...so if it helps please keep that in mind..

Just recieved a $1000 bonus from work so this is a pre christmas "you da man" gift to me...

Yes..that is the limit...please try not to creep over that amount...for some reason the wife winces when it climbs over that magical number...my aggro is lessened if we dont reach it..

Ok...here is my first stab at it..(and please stay with www.newegg.com)...and I already have a monitor...its a beauty...

Thank in advance...I know some of you hate these types of threads so please forgive me...

Ok..Professor Coldfront is a Fire/Ice tank...my build is..

1.Fire shield
1.frozen fists
2.Healing flames
4.Ice sword
6.swift
8.Blazing aura
10.taunt
12.Plasma shield
14.health
16.consume18.Burn
20.stamina
22.ice patch
24.boxing
26.Fiery embrace
28.tough
30.hasten
32.frost
35.greater ice sword
38.frozen aura


Ok..here is where Im not sure what to do...To me its down to two choices..

A.Earth mastery

41.stone prison
44.Quicksand
47.stalagmites
49.?

B.Pyre Mastery

41.ring of fire
44.Melt Armor
47.fire ball
49.?

I can see the benefits of melt armor....and that power alone is making me lean to Pyre...

Anyway..the servers are still down for maint...and im bored....so any advive is apreciated...

Oh..and for you fire tanks that run when a team fights carnies or any Psi for that matter..try this...

I would cast ice patch/burn then back up while the scrapper(sr/ma) would "tank" on the patch..worked pretty well...

Thanks in advance for any advice given...

do you think they would call me and wake me up when its really back up?...

that would be nice..

there is an announcement thats it is up...but its not...(sigh)..so im still here...waiting...

please...please....pleaqse....brute and tanks take taunt...how many times do I have to say it..

It makes a huge difference...

I see this difference as a tank (with /without taunt)...and as a squishy who has died (because the tank had no taunt) and who has lived because the tank could pull a mob off me from across the room...

TAKE TAUNT....Most tanks/brutes cannot do their jobs in team form without it...

ahh...thank you...

I needed a WORKTABLE!!!!

arg....so simple...(sigh)..

Ok..I deleted one table...made a worktable...made the teleporter....and all is fine...

Thank you...

Ok...I have everything ready for my mini base...EXCEPT the stupid teleporter!!!

I ran into this before...i have no idea why they make this sooooo frustrating....

I cant seem to find any way to build the teleporter...yes i have the salvage...heck...i got it all..( Computer Virus 1 Polycarbon 1 Luck Charm, OR Circuit Board 1 Steel 1 Rune , OR Temporal Analyzer 1 Titanium Shard 1 Fortune )...

Have the room built...the becons are in my inventory...and I see the raid teleporter!!...
Looked in the Personal item tab also.....I have tried to build the teleporter at a workstation....but i see no option for a teleporter..

Why do they make something so simple and needed....so frustrating?

Anyway..thanks in advance...and I hope this helps someone else in the future...

I was thinking...

I hear people have trouble keeping their arsonist alive. If I use this macro...on my arsonist (Roscoe)..and I notice him getting pummled he should stop attacking and run to my side..so I can heal him.

/macro Flwp "petcom_Roscoe follow passive"

I have two macros already...Ive broken up my minions in two groups...the first (primary) group attacks while the second (secondary) sits back in BG mode..and attacks only after I or my minions are attacked.

Works great for me..KISS.."keep it simple stupid"..

Was just wanting to plan ahead for the spazzmatic/suicidal arsonist...

If the above macro wont work...could you suggest another?..

Thank you in advance.

Mr. Wiseguy (thug?dark)

Solo Drone (bots/traps)

Ford, chevy, Dodge

Toyots, Nissan

Porsche944

Thank you....

My bots/traps is at 18...and having a lot of fun. Range is fun .. after leveling my "ninja squad of blood and guts" for a while, the change was welcome.

My ninja/traps is at 14....its fun but everyone is right about the ninjas and thier "pajama" armor....wow..talk about squishy.....But man...do they look cool.

My thug/dark is 10....and for the fun factor its running neck and neck with bots/traps.

Its hard for me to play MMs because Im used to being the one doing the killing....BUT....I have to say...thugs/dark is keeping my interest so far....

I feel like "in" the action....and contributing a lot. I just got my upgrade...and Im sorry..i took dual wield. I need to shoot at something!... Ill respec out of it later...but ill get the cone attack (unload clips?)..just so I can look the thugs in the eyes after the mission and say "man...did u see me nail that Troll?....Kerpow!! head shot!"

Thanks for the help everyone.....

Oh..and I have a quick question...

Its about thugs/dark..

I keep reading that i DONT want to equip my bruiser (brute) because he will handclap people out of the tar patches ect....

If I "upgrade " my pets I upgrade them all...So I would avoid upgrading the bruiser by summoning everyone BUT the bruiser...upgrade my pets...then summon the bruiser?

Is this right or is there another way to have my bruiser avoid the "upgrade" pets power.?

Thank you in advance...Im real new to MMs...sorry for the basic question.

All ,I can say is "THANK YOU cfischer999 !!!"

I have only had two masterminds in my 4 years of coh/cov. I have found them to be frustrating especially at the higher levels...32 +...

I had a poison/undead...and a TA/ninjas.

I have moved from victory to Freedom because of the lack of population. I hated to move after all this time...but after moving...and finding team..after team..after team...Im glad I did...

And thanks to your guide,,,Ill try MMs again. Im trying a traps/ninja MM....Thank you again..

oh..almost forgot...what is the largest active server?...It seems to be Freedom....but I want to make sure I transfer to the most populated server...and one that seems to hold that mass well...

Thank you again in advance..

Thank you...

Im sorry to bother you...my searchfoo is weak....

I am leaving Victory after 4 years...because of the lack of population...and am planning to move to Freedom...or another highly populated server (hero and villian side...if there are any suggestions)


My question is...If I transfer a rich character from victory to freedom...does his cash go with him?....
Im hoping....starting out with no cash is hard...

Thank you in advance...

Same problem here.....lost 2 slots...and got the same cut and paste response.....now on 24 hours...and still short 2 slots.....Hello?..Hello?....is this thing on?

Same problem here...but now Im missing two slots......and Im on 24 hours and it still isnt fixed.....

hopefully its not down long..i guess ill eat breakfast....its just raining outside...and Im bored....so its no big deal...just couldnt find a posted reason for the downtime

Thanks again for your quick/kind answers....ill try again in a few...

Thank you...im sorry for bothering you..back after a few months....forgot how often this game is down...

every day?

Cant find a posted reason as to why they are down....

This is BS...why is this happening again...I want my slots back...
