Ah yes forgot the maintennance teach me to be impatiant lol

Servers down? Cant see any posts here saying they are but im buggered if i can log in!

Splendid

Croatoa Task Force is still full though...

Theres two spawn points in heroes by miss liberty in atlas and back alley brawler in galaxy- there not contacts though they are the level trainers. Theres more choice of starting contacts for a hero as starting contacts are based on origin and which zone you choose to start in, ie atlas or galaxy.
Villains always spawn in mercy by kalinda but you can choose burke as a starting contact.You will find him in your contact list to set the waypoint to him if you chose him..still spawn in by kalinda though

A minionless Mastermind using sets that are available as a Corruptor? Erm... okay if you want the challenge I guess! I'd have just rolled up an AR/Traps Corruptor though! (and I did)

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, not sure why you'd make a minionless mastermind with the merc/traps set, because both of them are available for Corruptors, and you'd certainly find an AR/Traps Corruptor a lot less frustrating than a minionless merc/traps, imho.

[/ QUOTE ]

D'oh! I didn't know - really should look at the sets a little closer

Merc MM's gun looks better than the super soaker a corruptor uses?

Only upto a point.

Posted in general yesterday but basically theres a point at which a 75 member sg all active 24/7 cant generate enough prestigeto equal rent due. (its at around the level of 3 plots below the largest).

And dont even get me started on the purpose (or lack there of) of rent and the fact im being made to rent something ive already bought...

[/ QUOTE ]

ye thats buggin me also from day 1, why pay rent for sumtin we already bought...
taxes???

[/ QUOTE ]

Almost as bad as paying for something we make ourselves out of scrap using equipment we've already bought

I know but all those foolish heroes still said grats!
It was all part of my plan for world domination mwha mwha

(anyone calling me a misposting noob gets slung in the slave pits when the world is mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

To Cyber Villain of the loony toons who has been working so hard to get his first 50 these last few weeks!

Also we were meanies on teamspeak when he got there and played down the celebrations!

So.....

GRATZ!

(Getting your 50 DOESNT mean you can play EVE more!)

Superman = Brute, Batman = Stalker

[/ QUOTE ]
Given that they're heroes, it's more like Supes = Tanker, Bats = Scrapper...

[ QUOTE ]
Maybe it's just me, but when I hear the term "Mastermind" I'm thinking Dr. No (James Bond), Lex Luthor, even Dr. Evil (from Austin Powers)

In other words, someone whose job it is to hatch evil plans - violence is for lesser people. Let the minions take the heat and get their hands dirty. They should be honored to lay down their loves for a higher cause (i.e. me )

[/ QUOTE ]
Exactly.

If you want to be a martial artist, play a Scrapper or Stalker. If you want to be the evil genius who has ninja henchmen to do the fighting for him, play a Mastermind.

[/ QUOTE ]

Personaly i think superman is a cheat- his damage output would suggest he is a scrapper as its far too high for a tanker,but his defensive set is far superior to a scrapers(actually its probably higher than an average post ED tank )

Definatley think he should be banned for cheating

I expect this may be due to other henchmen classing as allies in the same way they respond to each other being attacked.

[/ QUOTE ]
I met the same problem while there was only one MM (me ) in the team.

[/ QUOTE ]

Interesting... could there be a holdover from henchmen classing other AI mobs as allies?

Was it a mission where two groups of mobs were fighting and causing actual damage to each other or an object? (rather than just being an animation)

[/ QUOTE ]
I was in a team. We just started the mission, so I was calling and buffing my bots. Someone didn't wait and attacked the first mobs. As soon as the fight began, my bots left me and ran to help him. I tried to ask them to go back (I'm superstitious, I hate to see them without the first buff ) but they didn't seem to understand.
The solution is to put them in Passive mode and ask them to go back but in this case, the protectors don't want to buff the other pets ... (sorry for my English).

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes have to say ive seen this a lot recently,certainly prior to the last patch,but im sure after the patch at xmas.
Noticed this happening both as the only MM in a group and when grouped with fellow MM. Setting the pets to passive doesnt help as they will still wade in even in passive mode with this issue. Using the goto command works it seems but this seems to completley lock up the pet AI and they just stand rooted to the spot even if i set them to aggressive. First time i encountered this was running halfway through a respec tf getting jumped by a nice big bunch of COT,ordering my boys to attack the cot boss to pull agro of our main healer and discovering my boys were frozen half a map away

Setting them to agressive,re issuing the goto command before issueing an attack command seems to work to break this cycle

AI generally could use some tweaks as pets do tend to carry out some bizzare actions at times,one particular example that stands out is my spec ops mercs that will run halfway accross a room in order to rifle butt a boss when they have plenty of time and room to work at range. Medic mercenaries i am sure are insane! AI for medics is all over the place,mine seems to have some kind of crazy death wish,now a standing joke in my SG as to what bizzare behaviour he will get up to next

I like the idea!
Id want my statue to be fitted with death beams and lazer rays so when the sg fellows are in the base,my statue(through secret alien technology) can pick up when team members are chatting about me and zap them with a death bolt if they utter the words- "that Vyncent really suxs ya know" or "that vyncent needs some pet binds to keep his damn pets under control" etc etc

I also want my own theme tune,every good villian(or hero) should have a theme tune

anyone?

You have an option in your....erm...options section that allows you to hear villain/hero chat depending on which you are.

Turn that on, get a coalition with your alt SG and Robert is your fathers brother.

[/ QUOTE ]

nope

options on tried forming coalition and im told cant for coalition with opposing side sg

any other instructions on how this is done?
yes both characters are the sg leaders can send each other tells but we arent allowed to form the coalition

Kept hasten and slotted all my primary damage attacks with 4 dam/2 recharges. Powers cycle nicely while hasten is running and the 2 recharge SO's compensate for the downtime on hasten. Secondry is devices though,so im using targetting drone to ofset the lack of accuarcy in my primaries.
I did initialy run with several defence powers but specced these out after ED and added in additional attack primaries.
While somewhat more squishy now i am finding i can spam a longer attack chain on the build,with minimal downtime on recharge and still keep the damage nice and high

just set the permissions to gain access to their base ive loaded tyl and had a gander at the villain plastic base

and might i say they need a decorator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

I was thinking more along the lines of coalition chat not base visiting. Tried to set up a coalition chat between my hero sg and my villain sg with no success. In fact the game tells me this cant be done

Am i being dense here?

Our COV supergroup is coalitioned with our COH supergroup, and we can indeed visit each others bases and mingle with the heroes. Can't kill them though....

[/ QUOTE ]

how?

Im getting a little sick of this game now. Not only are we recieving a constant barrage of stealth nerfs but now it seems,cryptic are introducing "stealth content"

What do i mean by stealth content?
Simple really new alledged content added in I6 and COV release that is there in theory but for all workable intense and purposes might as well not exist.

Base building was supposed to be one of the highs of COV. Would it be possible for a senior dev to pop in and explain to me why i should have to wait for months on end just to get a bare basic base?

Heres a tip for you guys-

I am not having fun-therefore i will cancel my account-therfore you dont make money

Over the last few months it seems to me that cryptic have been attending the SWG School of how to run a MMORPG

For those of you not familiar with this school it basicly involves nerfing your game into oblivion,ignoring player opinions,and [censored] your player base of so much they all go play WOW

Then again why am i not surprised when the games leed developer has gone on print(pczone) specificly saying that he knows best and we dont...?

I honestly feel like giving up,payed to go through [censored] like this in SWG i damned if im paying to go through it again here...
