Cold: when you dont show up, I am guessing it really is the time differance, RL and what not. So no problems.

last year the City scoope did a few articals on power teams. How they can be very powerfull. I would like to do this and tryed with my SG but a few member have low play rate so doing a power team is hard.

tanks yes move slow through, but can live through most. blasters would have to be quick and killing machines. defenders power teams tend to get the name "Mage tanks" they have high deffences and ranged attacks that are not as strong as blasters. Problem is finding something everyone want to do. My choice would be blasters or scrappers.

yes I looked into doing this in the past

1st i would like to say, there are those that would miss Doll, I only teamed a couple of time, but had fun.

2nd: the Change to the /Psy doms, is something I think the devs are working on. You ask what is the best Farmer red side and 8 out of 10 response get fire/psy doms. This might be a response to the farmer and those that use the dom to power level there X number of alt's. The Balance and final swing of the nerf bat has yet to hit.

the bit off topic on the market stuff and caps, i agree with Master Ping, that is the worse idea they could do. I have 1/10 of what ping does and I could see some very fast cash coming to me if a cap was in place. not everything is sold on the BM/WW.

Infact alot of your toons weren't really built that well.

Her toons were built to her specifications for enjoyment of her $14.99 a month. Who are you to dictate what makes something fun for someone else or not? Sorry to get a bit flamey here, but I absolutely HATE when someone judges someone else's character as "good build" or "bad build". There is a reason that the game allows you to select your powers on level ups. Because not everyone plays the powerset the same way. IF you can't play with a person because of their build or play style, then you have the right to find another team. It doesn't have to resort to slapping labels on people or their characters.

Likewise, if the Devs make a change that makes the game not fun for her anymore, she also has the right to take her $14.99 elsewhere. And although we will miss her and would like her to stay, we can express these wants without labeling her, as a person, or her toons, as well built or poorly built.

QFT what BA has said, the game is not 100% about min/max the powers and playing the best build like everyone else. Its all about choices and playing the way you want. I have broken a few rules on build and came out just fine.

I will be on at my normal time tomorrow, but at start time I maybe a bit distracted doing a Virtual machine upgrade, I shouldn't have to do anything, but just need to be connected to work if I do.

BA: 1st if you ever see me on, and your wanting to work on angry, shoot me a tell. task force are the only thing that I wont quit on. Plus I would rather you keep your job, this is only a game after all.

Wednesday seems to be the best night for me still over all.

Side note:I am updating the static team roster today as well

really if you get a full team of the same arch type, things change a bit, All tanks teams can grow fast and weed through things, Rom or some of the other AV then may need the shivs as pets just for regen debuffs. Join one of the tanker tuesdays if you want to see what a bunch of tanks can do.

I would say either a blaster or scrappers personal if we go for a power team theam (All one AT).

as for taking a boring power (Bubbler / healer - I know I have a hard time playing them but I can also find a way to make them work - all ahead full)

As i said for sundays team, I am up for a Round 2, Nice to have a team to play with. As for Hrist idea of a ITF, I am up for that as well. Hot knife has a couple that we need to work on opening the Zone (think the plan is to work on that this week).

Oh I also would like to at least invade the hive one night to work with the Hami Raiders.

This is just something for everyone to think about.
(I posted this for my wednesday night static team as well.)
I know we have been plagued by RL issues and we have lost players this summer, but I'm hoping that by late summer or early fall we can have everyone to 50.
Once we hit 50, would you be interested in starting over at 5th level again? Now here is the idea i had. What if we set up the new team with a theme, instead of just random toons.
A few examples:
All the toons are winged Valkyries
or
All the toons have elemental based powers (fire, earth, ice etc...) no weapons, Martial arts etc...
or
All the toons are the same AT, but have different power sets

Just an idea that i had, what does everyone think?

[/ QUOTE ]

I am up for that .. I enjoyed the run, would like to contune on (right now it is hard not to play the toons as I want to do that last push to 50) Last night change was good sine saturday I did some tanking.

The Claws scrappers are nice for AE.

if your going to throw in posi. I would say get a fire/? blaster

Last 2 speed posi were done with fire blasters
tank, 2 blasters, bubbler - 2 hours
2 blasters, Kin -1.5 hrs

I had a decent niche going last week...about 5m profit per crafted IO, but high volume, like 2-3 per day. Now that niche is completely blown with 50+ for sale and prices down towards 1m. Unfortunately, I still have about 6 crafted ones in my base. I'm gonna have to sit on them for a few weeks and hope some people give up...

[/ QUOTE ]

My red side niche is still going, slowed down with the recipes drying out and price going up 10x (still getting a few at the low price). Paid for almost all my Crabs IO sets, some buys are still outstanding.

blue side I am working on my 2nd ebil now.

My SoA, Crab Twitchy is now lvl 50, Dinged on LRSF

BUMP

time is ticking away

Lucifus Mephisto is right about ppl that have been playing for a while. They just might need more information. teaming with them and giving advice is when you can. maybe even point them to the forums, there are a lot of great build guides and helpfull inforamtion as well.

Tanker tuesday is a great way to get tanking help.

I need to see which toons need this.
I think my BS/Regen Scrapper needs it, and I KNOW my Emp/Eng Defender needs it.
If I'm not on Family Duty at the Hospital, I'll bring one of these above.

Learning the game a Slacker over view of what is learned at the start.
Levels 1-5:
Movement: Getting around on the map via way points, Following someone, or location (Sewers, Train, Ms. Liberty)
Powers: beginning powers, what does what and start to get the feel of your toon.
Levels 5-10:
Pool Power: How they help and the striving for a travel power, subsidized with a temp travel power. What might be needed
Powers expanded: starting an attack chain.
Inspirations: Better living threw pills, what are they, what they do, and how they can mean the life/death of your toon.
Game sounds: The dreaded endurance Bong, Power down of powers. Tone of a flashy/clicky.
Game txt: finding a names boss in a mission.
Levels 10-15
Enchments: basic slotting, to add survivability, DO, and what some of the basic acronyms are.
Travel Power: Fly looks cool but is it what you want. How to run through the street and not be stopped by every trash can, fence or whatever becomes your lol bane. Leaping tall building into a mob of doom. Tping yourself into power lines, or other objects that make you not go where you want.
Levels 15-25:
Expanding the live of your toon: health, stamina
Why not more of damage, protection what not powers until later on.
Do you still have fun? If not have your tried something else, what have you learned about your play style.
Levels 26-50
This is where you start being supper or not. Time to expand of what you learned and start looking and invention IO replacements.

Thanks for the response .. above is really my 2 cents of what someone should be getting the idea of.

[ QUOTE ]

What i think needs to be addressed is the SG's that are farming these new toons to 50 and not mentoring them the right way. I was on the lrsf a week ago with someone that was proud of the fact he joined COH and hit 50 in 3 days thanks to his sg.. and yet had no idea what vengence did, what the oroboros portal was, or what badges were for. It was pretty sad and extremely frustrating.



[/ QUOTE ]

I think this is the reason why they are wanting to do this, Good idea yes, but as Dinah might has said. everyone has a different idea on what is a good player and what not. I have see so many ppl join PuG and start saying so and so has the best build. Giving advice to someone that is doing his/her part on the team based of what someone else said. They were the ones slowing down the progress of the team not the one getting the advice.

problem with power lvl toons is if its in a hands of a new player, they dont know what does what and does learn how to use the powers together. that is what the process of going up on the lvls is to do, Plus people are different and not everyone wants to play it the same way.

best thing to do is ask the person to start over rebuild the toon and stay out of AE or off teams that are making you miss learning why something is there.
