I'm sorry, I was unaccountably touchy about pointless things earlier. I try to keep it to a minimum on the forum but, eh. I am sorry.

You can't activate sprint in combat but you should always activate it as soon as you exit combat. And going into combat does not always shut it off. Most often, it stays on until someone hits you with an impairing effect or you take several hits. It's a preventative - not reactive - measure.

(seriously, I really hate it when people assume the most inane interpretations of what's been said - no one suggested turning on sprint while being pursued - we said to turn on sprint, period. Why take this to an absurd degree that was never proposed?)

If it's not about you, then you don't have to make it about you. And it wasn't about you. It was about Golden Girl, who loves to insult people who play any game other than CoH.

I don't mind anyone thinking it was the best game evar!1! because I happen to like it a lot, and it is the game that got me into trying MMOs at all. I just don't see the whole point of tearing down other games and communities to make one's favorite look better. If anything, it makes it look worse.

Love, like, neutral, dislike, or hate CO, I wouldn't take GG's word for anything in the game. Her observations aren't about objectivity, but about boosting CoH as the best game evar!1! and insulting anyone who plays anything different.

Orbital cannon (anvil of dawn) does a decent amount of damage and does it while you fire your other weapons. It's lackluster even at rank 3 if you don't take anvil (and of course you can't be rank 3 and take anvil, but anvil really is a much superior choice).

Damage Boost (Lock and Load, for example) -> Orbital Cannon -> Implosion Engine -> Sonic Device -> Micro Munitions -> Minigun makes very short work of everything, plus the implosion engine keeps them in the AoE.

Unless you're watching behind you it can be really hard to tell who's leaving and who's joining the chase and it really can seem like you're being chased all the way across town. It is annoying.

Ah, that makes sense. You may have collected a volunteer fireman or two as well, and they can hit pretty hard.

Ah, so it was more of an analogy? Sorry about confusion.

There's an early tooltip that tells you about sprint that I saw once - on my fourth character. I learned about it by seeing other players outrun me and checking keybinds.

In time you may come to rely on the mechanic. I know I do.

Try joining the CoX chat channel. The people there are generally fairly helpful, and the channel itself is pretty drama free. Sometimes, the community rep Trailturtle drops in.

As I said, not all mobs have the same leash. But, seriously, there is no way that zombies followed you from the Beach to the church. What likely happened is that you got more than one group chasing you, and the group that caught you started chasing you much closer to the church.

Also, if you run inside the church, the zombies will just die.

Draugr seem to have longer leashes than zombies, but they can still be outrun.


I don't understand how you could possibly see that kind of motivation behind the regeneration. It's just regeneration. If you got away from them, you'd regen to full too.

Also, did you know that if you press X you can activate sprint? It's not superfast (at least not early on), but it can make getting through crowds of mobs somewhat easier.

I can understand this. I really hate it some days, because it gets the better of me. I used to hate it a lot, when I started playing WoW in 2005, but I'm used to it now, and used to finding ways to avoid the mobs entirely, or letting them chase me, but they rarely catch me.

And if this pisses you off, I do not look forward to your first encounter with the ak'ab. D:

No, he's right. ME3 is a good game.

I disagree with him in that the original ending is weak but that's because to me it lacked sufficient resolution or a sense of what was going on. My understanding is that the extended cut takes care of that.

Then I totally didn't mean anyone like you, Bill. I don't have any issue with people disliking stuff. It's when they twist it into abuse that I object.

Juryrig remembers nothing. Ka remembers everything. Caliburn doesn't remember anything at first, but as you help him adopt the mantle of Archmage, he gains access to the memories although he doesn't remember them so much as know these things happened.

This isn't true: You contribute to starting the apocalypse in the first place, and end up going to Vibora Bay to help stop it. Once you travel back in time, two of the central contacts you dealt with during the apocalypse either immediately or eventually recall the events and work with you on preventing them from coming to pass. You get a series of missions that ends with Therakiel's Temple, a 5-person lair, and ultimately prevents the apocalypse.

I don't know, I didn't have any trouble interpreting this story arc. I'm not sure how you missed the central bit involving Dr. Ka and Caliburn that is all about preventing the apocalypse.

I don't know, did you use it as a reason to stalk and abuse bioware employees?

There's a line between "I don't like your product" and "therefore, I will abandon all pretense of civilization in my interactions with you."

I think this has more to do with fans being utter prats in response to ME3 and DA2 than it does with EA trying to kill the studio.

You also get energy back by blocking, by selecting an energy unlock power, and certain other powers (like concentration, a ranged damage boost toggle).

I don't have this problem.

Aside from the part of the mission that doesn't update when you exit the headquarters, what was broken?

I found the events in the mission worked fine.
