Sure, the vast majority of people would use it for sensible purposes, but pretty soon every freakin topic would be filled with those grotesquely annoying "ROFL Cat" things. I just wudnt be able to tolerate it.

^This.

Twould be hellish indeed. I'd be off sharpish if it ever happened (not that its ever going to according to K & GR).

In terms of PvE Rad may come out better due to the AOEs it has (2 + a thin cone which should accept Forced Feedbacks). Plus you can stick Achilles Heels in any of the attacks.

My personal take would be Rad or Archery, with Kin I reckon it'd be a case of chaining 2-3 Kin powers (FS, Siphon Speed and either transfusion, transferrence or Siphon Power) and then blasting away for a bit so Archerys Redraw mightn't be too bad.

I'd go with Rad or Archery for team PvE. Sonic for solo/small team PvE and Ice for PvP I think.

If I was making one now I think I'd lean towards the set I haven't played at all : Archery. Although I'd be thinking "ooh Rad sounds fun too"....

I agree with Extremus. I'd like a far more flexible way to look at someones bonuses. To be honest the current list is a piece of [censored], I don't see why they thought implementing it that way was in any way useful or worthwhile.

So yes to the suggestion, with maybe an Opt Out for all those who don't want to use it.

if I was to see a psychologist, I'd probably admit to being a bit embarassed about playing a MMORPG at the age of 35, when most of my friends have families, wine evenings and dinner parties. But then again that's the child in me, that I long to embrace. I am more addicted to CoX, than Alcohol, Drugs (any kind) or Gambling!

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm the same age as you. I've done the whole dinner party thing. I also had a few years... ok, most of a decade... where 90% of my evenings were spent in bars/clubs. It’s fun for a while, but it can become a habitual chore, like anything. Don't let the whole “social conformity” thing get to you. CoH/V can be just as fun and social (if not moreso) - as a bonus it doesn't give you a hangover or liver failure either I don't feel like I'm missing much.

Though variety is good - I probably spend more evenings playing CoH/V than I should (around that 90% mark I mentioned earlier, heh), but it's cheaper and safer than drinking yourself silly, or many other hobbies I've been into (including sailing, wargaming, shooting, windsurfing and p&p rp’ing). The only drawback I see with MMOs is that the only exercise I get is in my clicking/typing fingers

But here gaming in general has become a lot more socially acceptable than it used to be even 5 years ago, so I don't feel any "shame" about it. MMOs are a lot more social than vegetating in front of a TV all evening (which is what most of my friends with their own families do nowadays - heck, it's what most of my own family do). Nobody even batted an eyelid at a family dinner party recently when my mother's 55ish year old friend pulled out her Nintendo DS and started playing it (my mother wants one now, lol), and my mother has often caught my PC-hating father (who is in his 60s, like her) playing some of my brother's old PC games on their PC. Gaming is here to stay - give it a couple of decades and gaming will be more popular than TV with the masses.

Agree 100%. I did the clubbing thing in my 20s. After a while it gets boring every week (although I still try and do it occasionally). And I frequently do the dinner party thing (although I hate the name. I just make dinner, people come over, we eat and drink etc and have a laugh). And if there's a Wii about generally it'll turn into a bowling match or round of Mariocart.

Nowadays, since so many of my friends have moved away MMOs (or Friday Night Team Fortress 2 with rum and team speak) is a great way to stay in touch. Much better than vegging out in front of a telly and watching some awful show.

And my mum and my girlfriends mum have also caught the DS bug. Its spreading!

Those ingame ratings are a bit dubious at best.

From what I've read though the reason Stone Melee is considered better it that it gives better survivability via quick recharging AOE knockdown.

However, I have a feeling these will not be availiable for Stalkers. A shield is kind of... noticable.

all the better, they'll be looking at the shield and not notice the sneaky stalker behind it hehehehehehehehehehehe

Maybe they'll be customisable to look like furniture objects.

Pot plant?

Not the best thing to be disguising yourself as, given the amount of students who play CoX.

Dang!

Don't think I'll be rerolling on the EU servers though, not a team-dependant build like Plant/Emp

Oh, I've a new Plant/Emp on Freedom now too (does that count?)

Not always. Befoire they halved it for instances it was pretty noticable, especially on Train Wreck teams.

Nowadays its pointless.

My laptop couldn't be described as a rig in any way, other than jury-rig to get games working on the blighter.

[ QUOTE ]
FWIW, brand new rig built over the weekend, consisting of:

E8400 Intel Core 2 Duo CPU @ 3ghz
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Motherboard with latest BIOS
4 gig Corsair 800mhz RAM
nVidia 8800GT running latest video drivers
Vista x64 Ultimate Edition

Currently running smooth as silk, not a single crash in ANY games so far. Never seen CoH looking so good, and smooth.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nice!

I always smile at people calling them "rigs" though. It's not an 18 wheeler truck you've got there (but I suspect the fantasy that it is could be the reason they get referred to as such, by males anyway).

[ QUOTE ]

If we can not discuss tells on the forum then all threads about gold sellers and all other threads about farming tells should also stay of the forum but they don't do they, and a tell about farming pvp rep falls in my view into the same thing and how many others did this person tell ? just this one I don't think so do you ?

[/ QUOTE ]
No-one said you can't discuss them. But Tells are not a Public broadcast.

Personally I'd have probably just declined and moved on.

I certainly wouldn't have made a thread ranting about it. What's the point? It's no worse than Filler requests and I just decline them (with an ignore for the spammy, rude ones).

In fact since it doesn't affect your Teaming status its probably a little less disruptive than Filler requests

Legally speaking it'd be a bit of a dodgy move to make alright, at least as an offical NCSoft EU employee & spokesperson.

I've found I use Ice Arrow way less than my Controller hold though, its slower to recharge, slower to animate (better nowadays but still slow) and doesn't do damage. So the Psi proc was useless there.

You're probably right though, with all the single target mez Mind has you'd could probably even drop Ice Arrow (I'm Grav, so I really need it for bosses).
