OK, I admit it... back for a bit. Solely because of 2xp and wanting to have all my characters available for whatever we run!

... well, and wanting to try the Stalker changes. And grav on my grav/kin. And grav/elec dom...

... and really missing actual travel at speed you don't have to pay ridiculous amounts of money for.

.... and not having your look change because you need more defense...

... er, and...

... bah. Frigging COH, I tell ya.

(Now once billing and the forums talk so I show up as VIP for at least this month....)




Hi all.


* OK. Not just 2xp. Bout of life sucking badly, parent dying, etc. and just wanting the mindless stress relief that hauling a Fire/SS tank into a mob of enemies and pounding the snot out of them - as opposed to 1-2 enemies being a hassle - brings.

Temporarily back! >.> No, really! (No, really. Moving at some point here.)

How's Dark Control?


And for a scouting report:
Yeah, was off in TOR. Still kind of like it... but there are more times than not that something there would make me go "Y'know, COH does this better."

I *hate* slowly sprinting everywhere - and paying for training and power upgrades! (Even the speeder isn't that much faster.) Plus smaller teams (4). And having stuff stay lethal well past when they shouldn't be a concern, IMHO.

I do think they've come closest to the COH costume/every other MMO gear balance, though, with their upgradeable/moddable armors and weapons. Can't customize the look that much, though, which is disappointing. At least not that I found. Found myself really wishing that I could at least assign a default color combo to the armor, so it wouldn't look like such a mishmash as stuff got changed.

I'm half tempted to write a SWTOR to COH swapper's guide - though, admittedly, I wouldn't call myself even near-pro at SWTOR. I just go in and blow stuff up or stick a lightsaber through it.

Missed the other thing.

My condolences man.

dark control is ridiculously good for soloing, haven't really teamed with it
possession (mind control) to open a fight
then single target hold
if there are a group of foes you have a fear cone every 40 seconds base

I did notice Freedom was at 3 dots today. Haven't seen that in awhile

*attaches the cone of shame*

We ran out of stones, so this will have to do.


you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you <3

Sorry to hear about that Bill.

Welcome back, take your mind off of RL by bashing a multiple hundred heads. I find it more relaxing than golf or bowling.

Welcome back, Bill.

I hope you find what you need in the City. It is a great place for stress relief.

And yes, Dark Control is AMAZING.

... so, desert zone with creepy hotel in I23? >.>

*sings*
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
full of sand from that passing superspeeder over there
Up ahead in the distance, I saw some shimmering lights
Obviously an incarnate trial, Judgements popped left and right....




And thanks everyone. Kinda nice to be missed!

... someone needs to make a supergroup of characters that all wear the metallic outfit.

They can be the Steely Knaves.
