  1. Nearly always the sands. I;m great at lining up 3-4 mobs behind it, which will coast me through street sweeping lowbie levels.

    My Axe brute has the ghost axe. A few others as well, which I wish I could change on them.

    You're not likley to notice the people who turn well without mouselook.
  3. I'ld remind and repeat that an anitivirus scanner is no longer enough by itself for most windows computers anymore.

    For free use, I suggest avast, with superantispyware (which for free provides real time scanner) with use of malwarebtyes antimalware now and again.

    For a little extra money, the real time scanner for malware bytes is very good, and has a great blocklist of malcious websites it prvents your computer from access (really useful for free websites that have dodgy advertising).
  4. About a 100 characters, with about 60 I regularly log in and dayjob/tradehouse/mission or two with.

    Of late though havent had time to more than a mission or two per session, and tends to be one of my 6 or so main characters.

    That's human nature.

    You can see how much people fuss over being asked to just to possibly share a name in this thread. Losing a name even though they never use it? Yeah, they'll pony up $15, some just out of spite. Then they'll come to the forum and complain about it.



    .
    You think people who havent played for years, will hear about a possible name purge, and care enough to pay NC money to keep it? Really....

    I think the stealth pool will be more so, its doesnt need much in way of slots, fits the LoTG +recharge, and can see it freeing up superspeed picks too - instead of stealth IO + superspeed, it will be stealth IO + Stealth power + ninja run with swift/hurdfle.

  8. I'd still like to know if someone else had the name beofre I went with it.

    I have a few characters planning the same.

    It's goldside.
  12. In case you dont know; blasters can use thier first two powers from thier primary, and 1st power from thier secondary when slept/held/mez'd.
    So it really pays to have effective and slotted attacks for those powers (aside from some secondarys - looking at web grenade)

    Plus there is illiusion controllers, so I'd be surprised at people being caught out by stalker stealth.
  14. I've tried with PUGs too many times to like him. Be nice if his warning has changed a little - fraction more time - was always getting someone caught mid animation.

    I'd like to enter too. Or see a contest that I could enter.

    Good luck to the EU, make a darn interesting NPC
  16. From nerdrage thread about power supression: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=234898

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    What complaints if powers suppressed in markets like they do in Studio B

    Re-Toggling
    Travel Speed
    Base Teleporter
    Crafting Table
    Losing/needing to rebuild permadom
    RPers who never land on ground (prob other RP issues too)
    Hasten to recharge base TPers/long recharge items
    Using any of the TPers mission teleporter right from WW/BM or hopping zones from one WW/BM to another, pocket D, etc

    There's also that costumes, capes, costume changes and auras probably induce more lag than most toggles.
    There's also that the same people who intentionally grief with power spamming will be able to train mobs (espically redside) into the market zones.

    ~~~~~~~~

    A studio B type entrance seems the best solution.
  17. It leaves it open to develop a third Epic AT for goldside.

    It also makes sense to me, in terms of that the AT are epic in story line not powers, so you need to expereince so of that story line side forst.

    2 ?s

    Lotsa characters. Pretty well all my epics use dual builds as they can be played quite differently (eg huuman form/tri form kheld, bane/crab spider).

    A couple support characters have more solo based builds early on, but that kinda peters out as keeping two sets of enhacnments are a bother.
    A few more have halk baked duo builds, eg for winter event with lots of travel.
  19. Do a search for changing port number at the NC soft helpdesk; sometimes ISP throttle or slow the speed of downloading on certain ports.

    Free Jetpacks ??

    I think it was only the chance to win a jetpack code for a month, not a certain thing.

    gift gr?

    You should be able to gift them the paypal money to get started if you cant do a reallife object gift.
  22. If you are low level, there are also dual builds that are like a respec that you dont keep enhancements with.

    We get free spec's pretty regularily, typically every issue which is 3-4 times a year.

    I do tend to save free specs until close to the next issues release which I was you might want to look at dual build depending on what you have already slotted with your character.

    You might also want to look at http://www.cohplanner.com/ which has two build planners
