No that's not what I'm saying. But is that a topic you'd like to discuss?
Now, what is worth derailing this thread over is Diablolique's belt! SO WANT! -

Can always spot Avionecta's work. Great addition to your collection X.

Have you never noticed all the statues of dead heroes littered around Paragon City?

Quote:the way to possibly do that is an alternative contact to Ramiel. A contact only available to Premium/Freebie players.Originally Posted by Pepper II
So, you want to get freebies to subscribe and premiums to resubscribe for a while? Show them what they're missing.
Step 1: Unlock Mender Ramiel. Let everyone run it.
You don't really get a reward, other than a shard and the unlock. But it lets people get a toe into the incarnate system who otherwise don't have one.
Step 2: Give a taste.
When a character hits 50 (limit of 1 per month, or 1 every 2 weeks or whatever, if there has to be a throttle to discourage PLing) let them be "full" VIPs - no free points/tokens/etc, but let them try out the trials, the SSAs, an extra slot with locked powersets (with full warning that "This is just a test run, these will be re-locked unless you subscribe/buy them!") for, say, 72 hours realtime.
Some people won't care. Others will want to get going, or re-unlock those slots or powersets, which can only bring in money.
Could do it as an alternate opening to the alpha slot than the Oro one too for VIPs, and giving Ramiel an option for a one time 72 hour access to Incarnate abilities could be the way to go instead, I think I just prefere something a bit different
But should this be per character to maybe get them hooked on a character they may not have been hooked on before? Or per account? -
Hmmm...I kinda like this, especially as something different than hero patron powers (which I neve cared for).
But there doesn't seem to be many dead heroes to make homage power pools too. -
SS/FA/Soul Brute should have the ST DPS to solo an AV. Not sure on the GMs, but for those, I personally worry less, as I just go with the idea of AVs being tough super battles, and GMs being those things that bring a father of super heroes together.
Now for these builds, are we looking at incarnate powers included or not? -
My thoughts on /NIN was it's DDR was low, and didnt have enough to back it up in the presence of -Defense.
I never really tested my /NIN out in itrials past the first two (which went ok) but one of my favorite TFs is the ITF, and with all that -Def, I felt like I had as much DDR as my WP...ie...close to none (I know it has more). -
Quote:Really, I try not to stack it, as that means less time attacking. Maybe that would be such a problem if the animation for the clickie was shorter.Originally Posted by Lucky666
I think some people forget that nins mez protection also gives base 22.5% psi resistance stack 2 or 3 times and psi is nothing for nin. Turn that into a toggle and it's nothing but a nerf and I would not be happy. \
Also Ice armor is the ugliest damn armor in this game I don't care how good it is I aint running around looking like a giant frozen poop sicle lol
Add in high defense with that resist, and Psi becomes less of a worry. Basically, I wouldn't see it as a nerf.
Though the idea of making the animation faster...that could work too! -
My suggestion is to start submitting pieces into the Fan Art competition!

Nonsense. In a superheroic setting, there doesn't have to be any correlation between size and strength, or between physical strength and melee attack power.
Rogue, a well known super strengther doesn't look like she could lift 50tons.
While I don't mind it coming up with some sort of most likely weight for RP reasons, why stop there! Get full on measurements! \o/
Personally, I just add the weight into my bio for my own sort of completionist type of deal. I don't really think the resources need to be used in such a way. But if they did it on a spare time type of deal I wouldn't object. -
Quote:Have you tried WP? Gives up the higher resists, but more healing/HP, and better defenses.Originally Posted by Diggaroo
I'd like to say Electricity Armor is my favorite, but there are also other competitors as well. I -HEAR- ice is good. (Just look at this thread if you don't believe me.) I also like Dark Armor, due to it's ability to basically "reset the battle" with its heal, Dark Regeneration.
The key to any good survivable build is to have a good mix of both Defense and Resistance. You want to aim for 45% defense (I believe this is the softcap) and then you also want the resistance to back yourself up when you do finally get hit.
The reason I like Electricity Armor so much is because of these things here;
- Massive Endurance Drain Resistance: Sappers? No problem. Nothing is going to drain your endurance!
- A fantastic "consume"-like power. Comes back quick enough for me to keep all my 9 toggles on and keep my endurance bar above half. It normally never leaves 75%.
-Fantastic Resistances: Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is above 30% resistance. (Except for toxic. Damn you, toxic.) Obviously energy damage won't phase you, smashing/lethal is 50% with enhanced tough, and my others are a decent 30%-45%. Slap on as much defense as you can through IO's and you've got around 37% defense without incarnates.
The ONLY thing I dislike about my Electricity build is the fact my heal is a little on the slow side when it comes to recharge. It's good, so don't get me wrong. 50% health back and then a massive endurance cost reduction bonus for 10-15 seconds afterwards is beautiful, but sometimes you need more than that within a 30 second time period. That is why I took Rebirth +Regen. My resistances are already good. My defenses are close to cap. I just need heals to keep myself up. Regen is a great bonus to add on top of it.
Built right, Dark Armor with some good defense and tactical endurance management can be pretty scary as well. Overall, both perform really well.
Again, also try Ice. I hear it's also a good one. Mid's Hero Designer is always the best way to go when you're aiming for min/maxing.
But all things considered, I'd think they'd be pretty equal with IO builds. -

There is still a New York city in the CoH universe!
Much like the DC universe, CoH's Earth is a bit altered from real life Earth. Basically having extra cities as well as the RL cities.
Paragon City has also become the equivalent to New York City, in that it's where a lot of the action takes place.
For Marvel comics that's New York City itself.
For DC, the equivalent is Metropolis, though Gotham seems to get quite a bit of attention imo. I'd say that's more of a difference between power levels though. -
Well, from the defensive powerset side of things, yes, Fire Armor and Shield are the way to go for more damage. However, Fire Armor is usually considered one of the weakest in terms of survival.
Also, while FA and Shield add more damage, I think most people only worry about the primary when it comes to scrappers/brutes when it comes to AOE.
Sadly, those for who AOE matters, think Stalkers lack any AOE (ELM would prove them wrong) and that all scrappers/brutes have some decent AOE (my dark melee, martial artist, energy melee, sword wielding scrappers/brutes would prove them wrong). -

Quote:Oh! I knew it wasn't from PW. It just reminded me of the graphics.Originally Posted by Redlynne
Actually, that pic of Ghost Widow I posted was a background pick that NCSoft used to have for one of their web pages on the website a while back (I forget which one). When I saw it, I knew I had to "have it" and I use it as the desktop for my iMac on the OS X side of the box. The Windows side I use another one of the rotating background pics that was on that NCSoft web page featuring Sarah Morrison (of Tabula Rasa fame) as my desktop picture. It's a nicely done image of GW!

Quote:Well, I only wish I could be this talented! I've left links to the artists page! If you like her work, I highly suggest getting a commission from her. Her prices are WAY WAY under what other artists have asked for. And I commissioned the piece from her specifically because I think she does amazing work with colors!Originally Posted by hazard
Wow!
That is some kick-*** artwork. I LOVE your colors! How do you do 'em?!?
That group-shot is pretty freaking awesome! You can tell that a LOT of work went into that. Very, very impressive.
I saw some of your sketches on your DA account as well, and those are really good too. I no lie. I a little jealous.
*paws at BrandX* "More?" -
Quote:Truthfully, I'd say it depends on the buff.Originally Posted by MrHassenpheffer
Would a buff encourage more people to make dual pistol builds?
Would that increase the value of the sought after Maelstroms pistols costume recipe?
What is the drop rate of that anyway?
My favorite combo with Dual Pistols is Time Manipulation. But even with TM's -Regen, I found I just wasn't making a dent in hard targets, and that's what I want to do with my own characters (solo AVs...dont care about GMs).
So combine low damage (and admittedly TM's -Regen is low) with lack of mez protection (softcap defenses is lots of times, not enough for survival) and while the combo has some of the best animations (imo) in the game, I just find myself going back to melee! -

My newest commission by the talented Avionetca! Another piece of BrandX and Emiline White (this time in her hero outfit)! -
Time Manipulation!
Dark/Time/Fire has a very magicy feel to it which is what I want for my concept. I've rerolled the character quite a few times, I think this will be the combo that sticks. -
Nice pic of Mr Believer! He was much fun at the party!

Im hoping they're just saving Staff Fighting for next week, as some of us would LOVE to get in on double xp with the new set
Not launching with i22! But a week after is good!
or putting Staff Fighting on sale the day before double xp then taking it down untill later would also work! >_> -
Quote:Well then, with that thought, why not combine Independence Port and Talos Island into one zone!Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
Hehe, I know we're getting way off subject here, but...
While I respect and understand the fact that we have a lot of zones and it may be too many (at the very least, too many that are under-used... and perhaps a global teaming/communication system that is under-used, combining to make a bigger problem)...
However, I don't think I'm in favor of removing any zones without making existing ones BIGGER.
While I agree that things may be too spread out, zone-wise, I feel like things are too cramped!
They're both the same levels. It makes the zone bigger, while changing it! -
Or some of us could just have our own ideas ont he characters personalities that fit into whatever exporsure we've seen in game.
And in this field, getting rid of others lingring works is what ruins the writing. One More Day ring a bell?
"I don't like that writing...let's get rid of it!"
Not liking to work on someone elses characters has me wondering why people would get into the field that requires it.
