There is no sewers trial for the Hollows - do you mean the Cavern of Transcendence trial? -
Great. Thanks.

I had never used Beast Run before this week. It seems awfully fast for low levels--does it continue to be useful? How does it compare to a "real" travel power?
-
I even mean Hess and the Hollows Sewer Trial

I always knew that you could unlock TFs like Katie Hannon through the arc, but then a player in game said that once you do the TF, it unlocks for you even if you haven't done the arc. Is this true/confirmed?
Thanks. -

Maybe not, but it doesn't stop your opinion from being a bit silly.

Quote:Either I was not clear (probably) or you missed my point (maybe). I didn't say I would never blast as a defender as much as I don't care if it is an ice blast, or a sonic blast, or a ______ because no matter what I choose, there is not much difference.Originally Posted by Zem
I like icing... don't you? No seriously. I have had team leaders tell me not to blast on my Corruptor even. "Just heal" they'd say. By which they mean, "Just do your supporty thing, whatever the hell that is."
It's silly. You only need as much support as you need to keep people alive, to keep the enemy debuffed, or whatever. Beyond that, heck yes you should blast! Think about it. Even if you did only a THIRD of the damage of a Scrapper, don't you think if you asked that Scrapper if he'd like to be able to do 33% more damage, he'd say "Hell yes!"? -
Quote:No, you are right, I am not looking at the combat tab. And you are very possibly right that the numbers change a little if I am not looking at orange numbers. At the same time, if we are talking about 2 tenths of a point of orange, is there really a noticeable difference then? If I can, with 3 attacks, ALMOST get one point of orange, am I really happy with the -res? Someone else might be, but I probably don't care that much.Originally Posted by MikeRobe
Do you have your combat log tab open? Are you sure your numbers are not changing or are you just looking at the orange floaties? You are firing more than one sonic attack, right? Shriek will stack with scream and knock the resistance down further... shriek will not stack with shriek (from the same caster)

Quote:OK, but if I am not seeing my numbers change with -res and there is nothing I could do to increase the -res, what could I do differently?Originally Posted by macskull
You're doing something wrong. Debuffs on Defender attacks are quite potent and you're not playing your character to its full potential unless you're using your primary and your secondary.

I am not seeing any link to where I can download the NCsoft Launcher for Mac. I have looked and can't seem to find it. Someone help?

Quote:I appreciate the input. I know the descriptions say things like -resist and whatnot, but never see much of this in practice. Just the other day I was on my /sonic and I was testing it. My power would hit and the next hit with the same power produced the same numbers. I did this throughout the trial and never saw any change in numbers. Is there something I am not recognizing or doing wrong?Originally Posted by Mr_Kingkillaha
Defender secondaries are plenty helpful. -resist in sonic, -tohit in dark, etc some secondary sets will go better with some primaries.
I'm curious to see your blaster builds. I can't imagine not using my secondary. -
This is clearly just my opinion, but I feel when I am making a defender, it doesn't really matter what I choose for a secondary. It seems like the choice will not make or break my toon. My primary is the reason I exist as a defender and any damage I add is purely icing on the cake.
I actually feel the same about *most* blaster secondaries. I do see how the flavor of them is a bit different and can impact some, but FOR ME, the choice doesn't matter much. I won't have much issues liking the primary regardless of my secondary choice. I have some blasters (fire/fire, for example) that I use literally ZERO powers from my secondary.
Am I the only one? -

As I said in the Triumph Server section, most MS Raids on Triumph aren't scheduled. I hear about 1-2 a year that are scheduled, but that is far from normal.
-
Does Triumph server have set Mother Ship Raids in RWZ like other servers?
-
Anyone know anything about Triumph, Justice, or Champion?

Quote:I was laughing when I first read this, "Long time Traps player". The reason I laughed is that my first thought was that it was a new set, how can you be a long time player. Then I thought about the one traps toon I have and she is pretty "old". Time in this game goes so fast. I still think of CoV as "new". It's crazy to me that it is so many years ago.Originally Posted by Gemini_2099
I was a long time Traps player, but Sonic Resonance works far better for the dynamic, action paced teaming environment that CoX is all about. Traps is a lot better for those that like smaller teams or solo.

Quote:Isn't the benefit that you, as a defender, for example, do not have to aggro a mob to add the debuff. By being able to put it on an ally, the mob aggro doesn't happen until your ally attacks, and then the aggro still doesn't go to you. I don't think that is "no benefit".Originally Posted by Turbo_Ski
Most players right off Sonic entirely because of the Ally-based toggles, they are that simply that stupid of a design decision and no benefit whatsoever for such an annoying handicap.

I wanted to say, "I guess I will just sit at the front of the cave since I won't be able to help any.

Quote:Waiting for respecs seems to make sense. Thanks.Originally Posted by The_Spad_EU
I'm saving my unslotters for respecs where I need to remove a few key enhancements extra, no idea what I'm going to do with the boosters.

I am wondering if people could tell me when their server has set times for MSR. I believe Liberty is Friday and Sunday at 9:30 EST. I believe Victory is Sunday at 8:00 EST.
Where else? -
I haven't touched some of my character rewards yet. I am wondering what others are doing with their Enhancement Unslotters and Boosters. (Yes, I know, unslotting and boosting!). How are you making your decisions as to not waste them? That is the essense of what I am wondering.

I went on an Eden run today and brought my sonic/rad defender. They said we would go fast because they had 2 Time corrs (which I will admit are good). Then the guy says, "Oh and we have a kin, too." I mentioned that I was a sonic so I could contribute to the debuff, to which I got a "Sonic? Meh" and that attitude prevailed throughout the trial.
I understand why some people think sonic (and bubbles, too) need an overhaul, but they are hardly useless, but on my team of 8, I seemed to be the only one who thought that. -
Quote:Speaking of Street Justice, what do we know about it? I haven't seen any official information (did I miss it?). Everyone seems really excited, but what can anyone tell me?Originally Posted by Wing_Leader
Yeah, the only time frame I've heard for the release of Street Justice is "some day soon".

Quote:The dots have to do with server load and not how many people are on (so there is a relationship, but it is not as simple as red is a lot, and green in none). So in that sense, you were not tricked, but perhaps misunderstand server load. At least that is what I have been told over the years.Originally Posted by ryancowboy6
I had a bright idea to leave my sg on Freedom server and switch 2 of my favorite toons to Exalted (VIP). My thoughts were that all the paid players would switch over and there would be some kick a** groups and teams... My Freedom server had 2 yellow dots as well as the Exalted server.. I made the transfer.. I knew I was in trouble when there was no one standing at the BM at Cap. So then I hit the pocket D Vip button... " Bam" 2 people on the dance floor...? Quickly I bought 2 more transfers and back on Freedom.. Was I tricked by the 2 yellow dots on the Exalted display?
