New CoH Player

Just wanted to shout out and say hi - tried the 14-day trial a week or two ago, hit the L 14 trial cap and decided to sign up and become a paying customer. Been soloing about 98% of the time - currently in Steel Canyon running around. Been running some missions - solo of course. Was able to hook up with 2 groups so far - that is some insane fun. Wish the game had voice support for those group efforts, maybe I just missed it.

Ice/Ice Blaster - L18 - practicing to pull villains as solo blaster so as not to get over run. Practicing range, hold, melee, and retreat when needed. Not sure how the whole inventions and recipes thing works - still sorting that part out. I have been using/buying/upgrading enhancements to fill power slots. The other short term power drops - forgot the names - come in very handy when soloing.

Located CST (GMT-6) normally play 8:00pm to 10:30pm nights - a bit more on weekends perhaps. Older player - so if we hook up dont run so fast through the mission.

Other games I play - World War 2 Online active since November 2002 - now you know I am nuts, EVE for 2 years running, DDO for 1 year (discontinued) and LOTRO for 1 year (discontinued).

Yeah, I know why Thunder Frost when I am Ice/ice - not sure.

Welcome to Protector.

Welcome aboard. Glad that you decided to give the full game a shot. If you have any questions we are a pretty helpful group.

What server were you on for LOTRO? I've got a few characters on Arkenstone. I got the lifetime account so, it is nice to come and go from that game and City of Heroes as I wish.

Welcome to Protector! If you ever run across a mission you find you need a hand with, feel free to message me @DJKyo and I'll be more than happy to help you out! Same goes if you're ever looking for a team or have any questions!


City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

Unfortunately there's no built-in voice support. However, some players maintain Ventrillo or TeamSpeak servers for this. It's relatively inexpensive if people are sharing costs, but it takes a little bit of know-how to set up.

Recipies for IOs (Invention Origin) usually give slightly superior boosts to the various stats (comparative to even-level Dual Origin/Single Origin of the same level). Moreover, there are IO sets where you have an enhancement that boosts two (and sometimes three or four) attributes simultaneously. The only thing you can't do with them, that you can with Training, Dual, and Single Origin enhancers is combine/merge them. However, unlike those enhancers, these don't degrade as you out-level them.

Other inventions are things like temp powers to boost resistances, etc.

And I think the "short term power drops" you're thinking about are Inspirations. And yes, they're dead useful.

Hop into channels like Jello Shooters, Protector Watch, etc. This will get you introduced to groups of people who play together regularly. It'll enable you to get into more teams than you would simply by hoping someone is throwing together a pickup team. And, when all else fails, start your own.

I maintain subs to CoX and PoTCO. Almost never play PoTCO anymore, but I keep the sub.

Hey, it's a name. Could be worse. You could be Bob From Accounting.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

There are already several toons named "Bob From Accounting" on Protector.

Don't forget to join some global channels for chatting and finding good teams you can trust!

Jello Shooters is the "biggie" it's where many of us who post here are in, and there are several others listed in our thread somewhere. Shooters will always come to your rescue if you need help somewhere, even if we are a little... weird around the edges.

Which one? There are only two choices: Positron, Synapse

If he's made 20, the next option is Sister Psyche.

4 things:

1. Welcome to the game and Protector!

2. Never ever take anything I say seriously. Ever. Opinions, stories, nothing. Unless its about numbers or info, it probably won't be true.

3. If you have a question about numbers or info, feel free to send me a PM on the boards or a tell in-game to either of my globals (they're in my sig).

4. I think its a little early in his CoH life to expose him to the horrors of a Posi or Synapse TF.

The Hallows Trial isn't so bad.

But then again, it's pretty boring how most teams run it.

Also, hello. Ice is awesome.
