Well I've been checking out Wizard 101, it's no COH but it can be fun.
and DDO [Dungeons & Dragons Online] it too is no COH but there are multiple classes and multiple races that you can play and you can somewhat control the look of your character. I can't say the community is anywhere near that of COH but it may change who knows I've only been playing on and off for a few weeks.
My brother has joined some of his COH friends on WOW, I was not wow'ed by WOW to be honest so I am not likely to go back there. -
I just applied, when you see Robert Hovestadt that's me..i have a tank on every server i believe.
-
It has been a great ride since I joined in 2005 even though I only have a single level it is a tank, INV/SS Bob the Bruiser on Freedom, but i have many tanks on many servers. I have enjoyed my time playing with many of you at TT, Rangle, LSK, Witty, and many others. Most of you don't know me as I am not at the Hami Raids and TF's that are run regularly, but you all know my brother if you are the Hami Raids [Static Rock and other characters].
I am going to miss the game sorely as it was my way to relax and relieve stress, now what do I do. I will be trying to find something else that is this much fun but i doubt I will find anything as their are no other decent SuperHero/Hero games out there.
I will miss all of you and all of the people i have met on CoH over the years. I will make some TT again before the end comes. -
=FREEDOM=
The day Bob the Bruiser made lvl 50 after 5 years of playing him. He was my first and still only level 50 character, i got a severe case of altitis. It now appears since I don't have as much time to play as some, that I will not get another 50.
Second best memory was Tanking for Hyper Star, i would draw in the mobs and then he would jump in and hit NOVA. It was always so much fun.
I could keep going but i'll let it go before i get emotional.
It's been a great ride, I wish it would continue. -
There is no joy in Paragon City after this announcement.
This is still the best Hero MMO in existence even if NCSOFT is clueless to that fact.
I have had a great time teaming with all the people of Champion and I am going to miss Tanker Tuesdays and all the great tanks that i got to team with. Witty among them on Champion and other servers when it began to go on tour.
I hope this a really bad joke, but I doubt it to be honest. I will play until the servers are gone whether I get anything accomplished or not.
Thanks for a great ride, I am going to miss the game and the people.

Welcome Back BlackDecember!
I am playing your Ice Assassin build [probably with some minor due to game updates] and loving it, so don't pass that up unless you are looking for something different then by all means go with some of the other suggestions. I myself play alot more tanks and brutes than blasters so I'm not sure I could make any better suggestions of combos.
Your wife might want to consider a brute they are alot of fun, what some poeple think a Tank should be more like if I remeber what I've read on the forums.
Good luck with your return and enjoy. -
I could find only one build to review and I don't really like the way it is built. I took it and put it in mids, not taking the fitness powers as they are now inherent. This is the build I found with changes due to Fitness being inherent.
I believe there are too many slots in CJ and SJ, and is the fighting pool really going to help an MM. I tend to play mostly solo due to when I have time to play, but I don't avoid teams when I can get on one. It is highly unlikely this toon will ever see PvP, so consider it PVE.
All suggestions for changes will be seriously conisdered.
Thank you in advance.

Quote:I'm sorry but guidelines for posting are seldom followed as it is now, which in combination with the poor search functionality already make its hard to find information in the archetype forums as they stand now. Mixing in another AT will only make things even worse, especially since I doubt you are going to have anybody retitle all the posts that already exist so that they match the guidelines.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
While I certainly appreciate your viewpoint:
What if we provided guidelines so that posts were easily identifiable within each forum?
I don't particularly view it as pigeonholing, simply as...well...simplifying. There's a rather large amount of forums to sift through here on our boards, and to a new, or even veteran player who hasn't spent time on the forums, it's a bit confusing.
Forums should be easy to understand at a glance.
It may be simplification to you it will end up a confusing mess to those of us that are trying to find information that is already hard to find. -

virture is having problems with the color sets when you make a toon... they always show black even when the toon is white.

Should I continue to report as bugs situations where the mission the contact talks about is not the mission that comes up when accepted?
Ex. On Infinity I went to Paco Sanchez and he offered me a mission to arrest Inferno, i accepted the missiona and it showed up as Arrest Scorch and his crew.
this will be the fourth time I have reported a similar discrepancy.. -
I would recommend giving this a read as it is up to date for I19.5:

Welcome back Kiloton.

OK so who did they allow to work on the servers before having their morning coffee.

I've been with COH for 6 of the 7 years, while my brother was with game from Beta but took some time off in the middle somewhere but has returned to the COH fold now. I have had times where I didn't play alot and i am not someone who can sit and play CoH for hours on end , therefore even though i have 6 years plus of playing time I only have 1 lvl 50 character. We more casual players enjoy the game just as much even though some content is impossible for us to complete. Well it is for me since in the last year or two it has become difficult to find teams, and since some of the TF's take 6 or more hours [which is a ridiculous amount of time in my opinion] they just aren't going to happen with PuG. That aside there is plenty to do in CoH even at this point, with all the possible permutations of characters that you can make, some combinations alone can make the game more challenging.
I personally avoid the PvP zones since i tend to be solo, and tire very quickly of being ganged up on by other players, plus I didn't buy the game for the PvP aspect anyway. I can't say what would improve PvP because of this.
I would like to see some kind of base option for individual characters, which has been hinted at many times but has never materialized. As to SG/VG base building changes, i am not sure what the issues are other than cost of some stuff. i have never built a base from scratch but have a inherited a few SG/VG's when players stopped playing. I have made a few upgrades to bases but have found no need to do major renovations so far.
So what will the Dev team do with the suggestions in the article? That is anyones guess, but i expect to be here for long time to come. -
I actually could make a second build when that option opens up, I don't have ninja run, but I have plenty of Vet reward stuff including resepecs and being able to take a travel power without the prior powers, i just happen to think CJ is quite useful.
-
Thanks for the suggestions Doc..Its early enough that I don't mind doing a respec, and seeing how that works.
-
I am running this character in Praetoria in case that makes any difference, and other then the IO's I have built I am using whatever enh's I pickup.

Thanks guys for the information.
By the way I got Freezing Rain and I love it, all that slipping and falling and bouncing around keeps them away from me.
-
I chose Storm/Ice after reading many threads regarding soloing with a defender.
Would anyone like to offer advice or insight into this partuiclar pairing?
I am up to level 6 [almost 7] and am enjoying it so far.
Thank you in advance. -
Since nobody else will say it I will INV/SS. Why? I've been there already and myself and my friend made it to 50 and my friend is an AR/DEV blaster. Built right there is no issue with INV/SS tanking anything the system can dish out.
-
I Have just one comment to make on this debate;
Fighting is NOT a must for a tanker in general. My only level 50 is an INV/SS and someone convinced me to take the fighting pool and 99% of the time I never use it, but since I hate respecs it will be there.
I am currently working on a WP/AXE tank and have no intention of taking the fighting pool as it appears to be a waste of endurance and powers to me, at least on my Inv/SS anyway. -

Is the event active all the time on the Test Server? I was there this morning for about 40 mins and couldn't find any presents in AP or KR.

Thank you for the response I will do that and see what i can find...
