Latest addition:
Power Quantification: Damage Resistance
Still looking for numbers for Controller and Defender resistances (ancillary pools) and the toxic resistance granted by Essence Boost (Peacebringer) as I was unable to find a decent guide with numbers that I had confidence in for those archetypes. If you have these numbers, or a link to a source you trust then please do get in touch (any powers with a resistance of 1.000 are merely temporary markers for when I do get accurate numbers).
5 stars
this is seriously one of the best CoH info websites out there. hope you continue to play the game and update Red!
Just wanted to let you know that I use your guide all the time. It keeps getting better and better! I really appreciate the time and effort you have put into this valuable resource.
- Completely revamped the powerset guides:
http://www.nofuture.org.uk/coh/powers/
Thanks for all the kind words, and as so many people have already asked over the past few weeks: yes, I am working on a CoV equivalent of the site (which will launch after the NDA is lifted for obvious reasons)
I know where my vote is going for CoH "best" votes this year.
Excellent work there.
█ Players Guide to the Cities
255'083 page impressions last month, not bad considering it was about 30'000 back in January 
Thanks to Nomme for sending me a load screenshots to build a skeleton guide to Explorers and Exploiters, hopefully I'll get round to doing that TF myself and filling in the blanks soon. Also to Graydon_M for capturing a bunch of villain mugshots that I was missing and sending them on to me.
Mainly I've been working on the new databank (I'll think up a better name later), my favourite section being the new villain listings which includes each villain's "Risk Factor" to compare how difficult the devs themselves consider each enemy via their individual experience multipliers -- and it's already turned up a few surprises for me depsite only having a fraction of the villains covered so far.
Example: Death Shamen = x2.6500, Storm Shamen = x3.9600
Given the Death Shamen summons two pals that can turn a three on one battle into a rathy nasty five on one struggle I can't believe he's considered less risk (since risk = reward) than a Storm Shamen who I've never had any real problems dealing with on any of my characters.
CoV section is also ready to go (well, once the NDA is lifted and I've decided who my main villain will be to front the site with).
Introducing the Convalescent's Guide to CoV ...
Currently covering content from levels 1-15.
Content for levels 15-25 in the works.
25+ content will be some time off I suspect as I've still got over 2000 screenshots for levels 15-25 to go through :/
Some highlights:
<ul type="square">[*]Story Arcs & Accomplishment badge missions[*]Rogue Isles' network of contacts[*]Temp Powers[/list]
Great work as always Tomax!
I like to run it blind the first time through, but I love to be able to come back to your site after and see what I missed for next time
- CoV story arcs for levels 1-30 pretty much complete
- Pirates of the Sky Strike Force added
- Revamped the temp powers guide CoV/CoH to make it a little easier to read now that there are more temp powers in the game
- Revamped the badges guide CoV/CoH: particularly the history badges page which was very difficult to read with so much info on one page
In my biggest update for a while I've put up updated stats for all primary and secondary powersets in the game.
More updates to this long out of date section are to follow, including data for the Ancillary and Power Pools.
Secondly, I'm looking for volunteers to help me cover the Patron content when it is released. It will be some time before I can take a character through each patron arc, particularly as I prefer CoH to CoV at the moment.
All I need is one person per patron who will do all the content exclusive to that patron and take screenshots like crazy whilst doing so to pass on to me. If you're really keen you can process the screenshots ready for me to put straight into the database, but that'd just be a bonus.
If you'd like to get involved in this then get in touch with me on my site's forums and let me know what you're willing to sign up for.

Interesting.
I don't see "two extra zombies" as a threat, but "stun if squishy, hurricane if melee" is a major inconvenience. I mean, BP husks come in 12-packs.
Of course, I tend to be running lethal or fire damage. I went to DA with a ice/ice blaster duo'd with a dark/dark defender. Once.

So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.
Keep up the great work, RedTomax.

My server exploded, no idea how long it's going to take to get everything back up as I don't know the full extent of the damage yet. I really hope the HD survived as I don't have backup's of some of the later scripts, and come to think of it don't have very up-to-date ones of the rest :/
Only Lord Recluse could have devised such a devious plot, he will pay for this!

Dooooooom!!!!!!
Keep us apprised Tomax. We live for your site, we die for your site...
The HD lives (I think)!
Looks like an overheating problem, going to upgrade the case and maybe have a new mobo put in while we're at it. But thankfully when all that is done the website should be intact.
I'm already starting to jones for your site. I can't believe how many times I use your site as a reference until it's down. If you need any advice or help give me a shout, I'm a computer geek myself.
Thanks Red Tomax! Keep up the good work.

Oh, please!, let this be so! 
The HD definitely lives, which is great news!
I need to sort out what kit to buy (and just how much I want to spend on it 
). Might be a while before the site is back up as don't want to rush into buying something that isn't going to be reliable long term -- but everything will be back ... (I'm so tempted to say "soon" lol).
Ooo, a package? For me!
Shortly thereafter ....
*Invests three pennies, buying 0.0000000000001 shares of Google*
*Tugs at a piece of string*
*SNAP*
*Chews a piece of used bubblegum*
*EURGH*
*Flicks a ball of lint*
<sigh>
*Sucks on a peppermint*
Ahhh, everything seems much better now.

dawg...seriously...dawg, I know this guy that's sorta like MacGuyver man...just give me the word man...give him the few supplies he needs and you'll have the most uber computer ever.
Seriously, from some rope, a toothpick and a snorkle he made a Spanish Gallion
(heart sploded when it realized the site went down)
We have a new server, hopefully if everything goes smoothly I'll have the site up and running again Tuesday/Wednesday.
Crafty bump to try and reduce the number of global tells/PM's asking me what's wrong with the site
Edit: Post 300 -- Yay for me!
Can you post another Crafty bump on your latest rumor about getting your site back up?

Wanted to personally thank you for having such an awesome online resource to CoH. I swear by your page. It has great information that I would otherwise have to do multiple searches on different pages for the information that you have collected on your one website. Thanks a million.
