  1. Hi all,

    Just wanted to see if anyone could help me verify a bug. Since todays patch everytime I try to exit my SG base via the front door or a portal the zone I'm loading into freezes.

    I have no trouble moving from a zone to an SG base, or from zone to zone--just SG base to zone.

    Anyone else experiencing this?

    No endurance cost? I must have missed that somewhere! Time to go through some old patch notes.
  4. Last time I made a brute (few months ago) I was able to throw an endurance reducer into brawl. Today I can't.

    If you look at the enhancers allowed the list reads as follows:
    , Enhanced Recharge Speed, Enhanced Damage, Enhanced Accuracy

    The comma preceding the Enhanced Recharge Speed implies that there is another enhancer that should be listed before it.

    Did End Reducers fall off your look up table?
  5. Perhaps if the functionality of KB was changed a bit people would find the scatter more acceptable.

    Example: in the pen and paper game Champions from the 1980's, Knock Back caused additional damage to the targets based on the distance they were knocked and if they hit something solid along the way. Granted, the current CoH engine would probably not be able to support such a system w/o adding a few different table entries for different types of KB, and the devs would likely dock your exp per mob the way they do when confused mobs contribute damage to a target, but that would be a positive step--right?

    As for getting back on topic...

    I believe that the desire to play any of the blast sets on a corrupter is related to balance issues. I've done Fire, Ice, Rad, Energy, Electric, and Dark on Corrupters. Fire and Ice were simply head and shoulders above the other sets in terms of single target, AoE and secondary effects. A distant third, IMO, would be Energy. even though I loved the characters, the other Primaries made me feel like I was underpowered in comparison.

    ...meaning I have to forego slotting standard IO sets in favor of frankenslotting to accomodate KB enhacers/sets? Again, that's limiting versitality I have currently with the set as is.

    I get that you would prefer KD. I understand that a lot of other people might as well. What I don't get is why.

    When I ask most people they say "scatter is the problem". When I provide a solution they respond with "it's too much effort". You, Silas, have indicated that these aren't the issues that bother you. So what is? What makes Energy Blast so reprehensable?

    That's exactly what I'm saying. I enjoy having the versatility of KB AND KD depending on the situation.

    If someone is getting beat on in melee I throw all the KB I have at the mobs doing the damage. Likewise when soloing KB is a boon.

    On teams that want to 'group things up' or that react poorly to scatter I shift into KD mode.

    If you reduced the mag of the EB attacks to <1 making it all KD you would actually reduce my versatility thus making the set less fun.

    Energy is fine; I'd say fix the players.

    One way to change you KB to KD is hovering over the target group. Another is knock them against a wall. Both of these methods work like a charm in regards to mitigating KB. Unfortunately this is too much effort for some.

    My Energy Blast Corr has a pain secondary, and I love it.

    Thanks!

    There is a bug regarding Enforced Morale (EM) being applied on a Dominator with Domination running (and I think when Dom is charged and ready to fire as well--can't remember). Essentially EM is completely overridden. I've tested all the other ATs, and it only happens with Doms.

    I've sent numerous bug reports in game, and have even started a thread (long since purged), but didn't manage to get the attention of the powers that be.

    Things I haven't tested yet:
    Dom + Clear Mind
    Dom + Clarity

    At least you now know you're not going crazy
  10. Thanks Nurse!

    I've applied, submitted my credit score, faxed my last 10 pay stubs and signed the requiste partial power of attorney!
  11. Hi all, I'm looking for an active Golden/Silver age super group for my tank. I'd like to participate in some RP activities as well as teamed SG play; maybe some story writting too if I feel inspired.

    Please feel free to message me or post here of you think you might be interested, or know someone who is.

    Thanks!
  12. Thanks for the replies! It's nice to know that I'm not just experiencing extreme bad luck.

    I'm going to do some additional testing using the info provided by Miladys_Knight and TwilightPhoenix. It'd be nice to be able to relate the failures to a busy netgraph, crappy FPS or something tangible.

  14. How long ago did you play your MM? The issue I've been having has been happening as early as i17.
  15. Hi,

    Was playing an Illusion/TA controller today and 1 out of 10 (being generous here) of my oil slicks (OS) actually lit. This happened over the course of 2 1/2 hours on a multitude of different maps (several indoor office buildings, new style caves, warehouses, ect.).

    I know OS used to frequently fail to light on uneven ground, but the vast majority of fails I got today were on flat surfaces.

    Can a powers person take a look at this?

  17. Upon exiting the game the CoH client will just sit in my program tray using 1 to 2 gigs of RAM and 0 processor clock time. I actually have to end the CoH process in the task manager to get the client to unload.

    I'm running a GeForce 8800 with Forceware 197.45 in 32 bit XP Pro.

    Any suggestions?

    BS/NIN Builds?

    There may be some kind souls who will do all the work and make a build for you, but most people expect you to do a bit of work yourself first.

    You may get more responses if you make an attempt and put up a proposed build indicating what type of set bonuses and such you feel are important.

    Just a suggestion.

    Only really needed if exemped below level 23. Rage covers the accuracy issue just fine.
  21. Your build is a little tighter than mine and I've yet to find something in the game (not including AE missions) I can't tank.

    Sure, I had to use inspirations to tank Recluse to get my MoSTF badge, but the only support character I had on the team was a Force Field Defender. Once the red tower went down I was never in any danger.

    Give me a day and I'll post the build I have on mine so you can compare and contrast.
  22. The new tool looks slick, but now I can only copy characters from 1 of 4 of my households accounts--and guess what, it isn't the one I play on.

    Rather than place the onus on the subscriber to make 3 additional forum accounts which would never be used, could you just get the team to fix the tool? I mean it worked just fine before the "upgrade".
  23. Wow! I'm not sure which I want to play more: a bungling sidekick or a Sarlacc Enforcer

    Oh, and invuln is a sturdy set with proper IOs and a little "round em up" mentality.
