so you are @goldengirl
okay -
no one could have took it from 34/38 to -98 in 30 seconds hmm.
anyway, no it's east time. -
triumph. I want them on a couple characters though. I don't start playing until about 2-2:30 am
odd my reputation was fine, now it's -98, like a person with forum admin powers did it cause no way that many people.. That is so rude. I don't even cause trouble on here. -
yeah i play at like 2-5 am and no one is on, and I'm not changing servers and I really like to play alone anyway, so I hope all this new stuff is available to people who just like to solo too. The game always has been solo friendly. I do think things that are group, should reward with group oriented rewards so like the roman costume pieces can be achieve by solo or late nighters like me who have never seen the inside of that mission. i meani quit WoW and many other mmos because end-game was big raids or groups etc. I DO WISH those costume pieces were tied to solo content. Again group stuff should be group rewards. It makes more sense that way. I have 14 level 50s and I can't even get the mission done once. I don't play on weekends and weeknights I am working right now.. but I will be playing at about 2:30 am .. alone, as always, but I enjoy it.

I never took travel powers before and I still won't and don't even play the hours people are on to do task forces. Plus , yes fly should be way faster.

Dual guns that "borrow" gun kata animations yet the purpose to shoot in those ways, is to avoid other trajectories blah blah like it says on gun fu or the equilibrium site, yet the blaster is weak as hell. Those guns should have been mixed with melee pistol attacks and made scrapper, brute and I guess tank. So we could at least stand up to things and pretend we dodged it, without getting 2 shotted each spawn. If not, take it out of the game, do it right and put it back in on the right classes. It has no business in there if it's only half done, fast design. Added with no understanding of what it even should be like or is about.

StrykerX was taking to me about a previous post. stay out of 4chan and your brain picks up on these things =)
-
I can't switch servers. Most of my names are taken and are real important to me, so I don't care to switch and rename or have a 1 or something else. I'm not playing right now and I can't until about 4am my time to 8am. My personality is more of the leader type, so I don't get along well with people dishing out orders. I play this game and should say fight in this game, like a gambler gambles. I fight fast, let the situation play out, usually live through it fine. No planning, no buffing, no nothing. Just fast and quick choices because I know exactly what needs to be done, without waiting on it.

Don't worry, you're still free to theorize your conspiracies.

This set needs some sort of SR ability that goes off during use cause of the rooting. Since they ripped off Equilibrium they should at least do it right.
What's missing:
"Keeps the defender clear." Nobody can touch you.
"Treats the gun as a total weapon." You can shoot people with your gun and pistol whip them with it.
it really makes no sense for this to be blaster. I mean someone shooting guns in this specific way is going to have some sort of skill at evading being hit, slept etc. It's really poorly thought out. Would have been a great ranged scrapper (a new spines) especially with pistol whipping replacing attacks like suppressive ammo and making another gun melee attack to replace swap ammo since that should be an inherent power of the guns (like the comboing with the dual blades.) -
has anyone tried electric with it, and if so was it any good?
-
swap ammo shouldn't even be a ""power" you take, but an inherent feature of the guns. It would have been better if they put aim there or some sort of protection when firing the guns. right now it's like flares and super flares. i am always stuck in animation when i die. it's the only time it happens.
In all honesty, seeing what it's based on and how those movies it's inspired by or games, the character should have been a new ranged scrapper (like spines) cause it sucks to get knocked on your *** by enemies when rooted shooting, and the the whole gun-kata, etc stuff. It's just not making sense that someone that is shooting like that is going to be knocked down easy, since they'd be acrobatic like Bayonetta or Dante ... or Preston (Equilibrium) and several others. There's no point to them shooting like this in city of heroes with such elegance, if the character can be knocked down, held, slept and all that unfun nonsense. -

Before anyone speculates the purpose of the following thread it is only here for information that is getting skewed by the public at the moment. I am in no way affiliated with NCsoft nor do I have any secret source of information. All of the following information has come from official announcements or specifically are marked as my speculations. Please do not take offense by this thread as it is for information purposes.
Since everyone seems to have a problem with understanding what is going on right now this should sum it up for you:
No one on these forums minus the Devs and those in the Closed Beta know what is in Closed Beta at this time. One could speculate all day on what you think it is about and what you think should be in it, but the fact of the matter is no one knows, or no one knows that CAN tell us. If you ask about CB as this point it means that you aren't going to get an answer you want. I want to know the same as the next guy or gal about closed beta, but the cold hard fact is that nobody knows that can tell.
Things I do KNOW about the Closed Beta:
-The closed beta that is current is not GR. GR is the entire expansion coming out in July 2010. The closed beta for GR will be later on but obviously will NOT include Dual Pistols or Demon Summoning since one is already available and the other will be in April to PRE-PURCHASE CUSTOMERS ONLY.
-The current Closed Beta does not use the Loyalty Program described here: http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/new..._and_thin.html
The official announcement states that only GR Closed Beta will use the Loyalty Program. No other Closed Beta was included in the description, which means no guaranteed Closed Beta access for anyone on the upcoming Issue 17.
Things that I personally speculated about the Closed Beta:
-I believe that since the DP Closed Beta did not include the Loyalty Program, since it is such a small piece of the pie that is GR, that DS will most likely not use it either. Simple as that. Get over it people, it's probably not going to happen! I hope that we get a good team of players in there that report the bugs and make it what it needs to be!
Other facts that I know are for sure correct about the current state of affairs:
-Ultra Mode is no longer part of the GR line up. The Devs stated that if they could they would get it out sooner, which meant that it was never considered and exclusive part of GR by them. Once again they don't owe you anything when they test this in Closed Beta. Loyalty Program does not apply here. Sorry people!
-I have heard rumors that Demon Summoning is now part of i17 just like Ultra Mode. THAT IS A FLAT OUT LIE!!! Nowhere does it EVER say that in any official announcement!!! The only time that Demon Summoning and i17 are in the same sentence are to say that they will be released around the same time, i17 for free and DS for PRE-PURCHASE CUSTOMERS ONLY. DS is not going to be a free part of i17 kids! Sorry!
-There will NOT be an increase in your monthly fee for the game. It will be $15 a month still for CoH/CoV/GR. It is all inclusive. The only thing you are paying for is the expansion. That is all about that.
-There is a lot if whining and complaining about the PRE-PURCHASE of GR. Here is my conclusion on this taken from another post I posted, think of A, B, & C as your purchase options:
My take on this is if you have the money and you want to spend it on the game then do so. If money is tight, don't get on here and whine to everyone about it, just don't get the expansion. If my money was THAT tight I would probably not even pay the monthly subscription to play the game. Get a clue people and manage yo money smart! (Ok sorry had to throw a YO in there
)
So all this being said I hope that this clarifies some stuff for some people. Sorry if any of these parts sound like I'm irritated, but I am lol. I am not irritated at those that don't know, I am irritated for those that have just taken the Devs words and twisted them or have someone tell the answer with proof and they still say they want Dev clarification.
If you have not been following these events very closely, I hope this thread keeps you from having to post another thread with the same questions. (Like everyone else has been doing...) There have been far too many threads on the forums all asking the same quesitons a different way. I hope this thread severs it's purpose in telling you this information so you don't have to go start your own thread asking the same stuff everyone else has. (That's what the search feature is for anyway...)
If anyone would like me to try to further clarify something I have said I would be more than happy to try, but keep in mind, unless I add something on here I forgot about, I don't know much more than this. I don't have a magical source for information. Also, please let me know if you think there is something else I should include in this that has some HARD FACTS with proof not just a suggestion.
Have a good day all!
P.S. If this thread helped you in any way please leave a comment! I would like to know I didn't type all this for nothing -
Quote:I know, and thanks for the reply. I don't play at hours anyone is on. I mean I have never even seen a raid happening in this game and I am more a solo player anyways so in some crazy way my hours and no one being on and liking to play alone works well for me. I can't play weekends much either (when I'm home) since I have a serious family issue to commit to. I wish but no.Originally Posted by StrykerX
You can buy and craft the entire purple Confuse set for around the same price as some high end non-purple sets (like Obliteration). Figure 50-100 million or so at worst. The recipes themselves can be quite inexpensive so if you can get good deals on the salvage and use crafting discount tokens from the Entrepreneur day job you may get it for under 50 mil. Since it gives you 5% ranged defense and 10% recharge as well as nice damage and recovery boosts it's well worth it for a Blaster.
I'd suggest running a few ITFs and buying a LotG +recharge recipe with merits, crafting it, and selling it. You should make enough to buy the full Coercive Persuasion set and have change left over. Alternately, run each of the signature task forces once since doing so gets you Task Force Commander and a free +5% HP boost.. that gives more than enough merits for a LotG. -
ah well i can't afford purple sets. i have never had one and i have like 15 50s. i never could make that kind of money and still get the other sets i wanted. not soloing anyway.

Hey strato, can you explain world of confusion a little for me? I have it slotted similar on another blaster and it never seems to really work well for me. I don't understand why really. Is it needed even? I have a similar build to this and I took all the gun attacks and thus no room for World of Confusion.. so I was just curious about it.

Nobody is stopping you from being ignorant if you wish to be. Simply go play the game if that's what you enjoy, and leave the balancing act up to those that enjoy doing that.
Anyone who doesn't see these guns need to be a little stronger (their guns for christ's sake) is blind. -
yeah i know, i have the badge and nothing. In fact nc soft is a month late on one of my rewards as is. I'm tired of having to email them to remind them that a vet reward was not awarded.

Welcome to this episode of Umbral's "Get Your Information Correct, Please!"
Mids' doesn't handle rolling DoTs correctly. FSC really has a base damage of 121.44.
Mids' also doesn't have the proper damage on Shield Charge because it wasn't increased to account for the AT mods change. SC really has a base damage of 200.2 damage.
Golden Dragonfly deals 164 base damage in a 10' long, 20' arc. You can get 2, at most 3, target with a single application of GD and it requires a decent bit of placement. The hard cap on the number of targets is 10, but it's literally impossible to fit that many targets into the area of the effect so that number is pretty useless.
FSC, SC, and LR are all PbAoEs with 10' and 20' radii respectively. FSC can easily target all 10 targets for its target cap and SC and LR can easily target all 16 of their targets.
Don't attempt to compare a power that has a tiny bit of AoE capability as a tangential asset with powers that are legitimately AoE powers. You're comparing apples to oranges in an attempt to make the question of balance irrelevant. Welcome to the required Straw Man facepalm. If you're going to do it the same way next time, at least try to make it a bit harder to tell along with actually getting the numbers right. Maybe use Shadow Maul instead of Golden Dragonfly, because at least Shadow Maul is intended to hit multiple targets. -
it's an inherent power of the guns, we should just get and they replace it with Aim
-
i don't know why there isn't any double experience in the mission architect. I hate doing these maps the developers made over and over and over. I've done them 329849023 times on a lot of characters for several years now. I like my maps better, and they ARE harder than this stuff. I know some people would make maps of bosses or whatever but who cares anymore. Some of us don't, we just are bored to death with the canon stuff. The dialogue is pretty boring too. Tired of looking at enemies with costume pieces I'll never get too.
btw since people can play the important epic classes at 20, they should just let us get those task/strikeforce costume pieces through story arcs and then change the rewards in those task/strikeforces related to group play, like base rewards or something. I mean seriously... there's no other way I'll ever get them. Been years. -
they should have given swap ammo as an inherent ability of the guns, not a power you pick. In the place of swap ammo, there should have been a power called AIM. It's weird swap ammo is a power you choose. it's like making domination a power you have to actually pick. It's ridiculous.
-
since they changed the epics at 20, why not change the roman costume pieces so people who don't have a supergroup, or play at odd hours or don't play with more than maybe 2-3 people can FINALLY get them, on all the characters they have (I have tons) but I can never do those taskforces. Change the rewards in task/strikeforces to be supergroup related loot and let the costume pieces finally be obtained by people like me.
I mean there's absolutely no way since the game came out and even before then when I played other mmos will my work schedule ever change or will I have enough hours on the occasional day off to get that stuff on like one or two character, let alone 17 characters.
On my days off I spend time with my family, it's a serious event as someone is very sick in my family, so computer games are out of the question.
I am just suggesting this because really the EPICS now available SO early.... when I had to earn all of them on both sides. That's fine but make these costume pieces in these strikeforces available too now and PLEASE think about changing the loot rewarded in those types of missions to people who play in big groups and have supergroups with bases that need items or recipes or whatever, I just want to finally get some well deserved costume pieces for variety that I'll never be able to get any other way.
Release the hold on those costume pieces like you did with the epic classes (which I think is a bigger deal.) -
they better add one for that lame roman taskforce. i play so damn late at night no one is ever on, not that I'd want to group with most people. First i have to be able to get in alone though to do it and yeah I know it can't be done but 1. there is never anyone one the hours i'm playing to do it 2. i need to do it for 18 characters, I won't group with idiots that many times 3. because I'm not in a SG or want to be 4. i'll do it
