Throw in bugs which should work but dont (like Forcefeedback: +recharge), and its enough to drive anyone batty.

1) IO sets should be lvl 33 for Siren's Call

Yes, this is true. Level 33 max, since Siren's caps your level at 30. I think it's fine to go as low as 20-25 for your IOs, though. You're not losing that much in final power effectiveness from the slightly lower enhancement percentages.


[/ QUOTE ]

The PvP sets are an exception to this, the bonuses for those dont go away when exemping.

<edit>
http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Exempl...n_Enhancements
is a great page.

As this is about Sirens specifically, The Minor Bonus Threshold come into play, where you can slot up to level 25 Dual-Aspect IOs, level 43 Tri-Aspect IOs, and level 50 Quad-Aspect IOs and suffer no bonus reduction unless you Exemplar to level 20 or lower.

Purples, esepcially the single type on (like armageddon:damage) get hammered by the maximum bonuss cap when exemping (step 1 reduce to 41.5%, then scale down further)

Yeah that's the other thing I was wondering about. How anyone could think that one group of players, especially a group as small as the ebil marketeers, could influence the devs one way or another. Most devs are proud of listening to user feedback and then doing whatever the [censored] they feel like. Just because the devs do something that we may agree with, doesn't mean we MADE them do anything.

[/ QUOTE ]

Of cousre the marketeers can't do that, that's the job of the Forum cartel, which doesn't exist and certainly if it did exist, they wouldn't be letting SwellGuy borrow the Van again.

AV--> EB in line with normal play
Invincible will always be an AV, through to a team of 6 or more on heroic to make the EB

EB-->Boss, appears to be triggered only solo on heroic.

A natural EB will never upscale to an AV

You get a nice Shiny History Badge: "Midnighter Archivst"

Well, I think you can have two accounts under the same PlayNC master account.

Go here and log in. Click on "Use serial code," and enter your code. (Or if you bought it through the NCsoft store logged into that account, it will show up there automatically.)

Keep in mind that your PlayNC master account name and game account name are not necessarily the same thing, although I think most people probably make them the same. If you have two City of Heroes accounts under one PlayNC master account, you'll have to have a different name for at least one of them.

Between us my wife and I have 4 CoH cccounts all under a single master PlayNC account, obviously each with their own unique names. (plus our Guild wars, AA (oops), TR (double oops) and Dungeon Runners).

Makes everything significantly easier to keep track of if you ask me.

They drop from any foe that is capable of dropping level 50 common IO recipes.

47 Lts drop level 50 common IO recipes, so always have been good for purples.

The word previously given, is that any bonuses for successful challange type settings, would be countered by a comparable penalty for failing said challange.

5 bonus merits for a successful MSTF (total of 43), would be matched by -5 merits (33) if you tried and failed

Id reply to that, but the Sun was in my eyes.



...

Nukes and Shivans are not required, but certainly make things go much smoother.

A perma-Mind dom is not required either, but makes things go much smother.

You do have to have the 'remember name' checked for it to work.

Doctored wounds is the one I see most often used for the +recharge aspect, its alos significantly cheaper than Numi

i would have thought its more that set bonuses matter to some degree in RV, but the pve game is so easy that they really are not necessary, but thats probably crazy talk.

[ QUOTE ]

Right, i'll be back later. Posts like that make my head hurt.

[/ QUOTE ]

yep.

And for the record I would kick, and playernote, a dark defender who doesn't take and use DN (or a rad without their toggles) far faster than anyone who is stamina less.

YMMV of course

ive never had an issue using firefox with ncsoft but you can always dl the IE tab add on for firefox. its great for any site that is IE only. like windows updays and stuff like that. just FYI

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks. I didn't even know it existed

It should be noted that the above link doesn't function (at least on Firefox) unless you change .net to .com

-Rachel-

[/ QUOTE ]Rachel: might be something in your installation. It worked fine for me as .net, with Firefox 3. But if it doesn't work for someone else, that's a good tip to try.

[/ QUOTE ]

The NCsoft site has always been an issue for me with firefox, IE works just fine.

[ QUOTE ]

That's nice. DN is still gone and it is staying gone; when something creates more hassle for me than it does benefit, its outta here.

You'll have a legitimate complaint when I'm on teams or in here saying "Man, where is my ST debuff! I need to get me one of those!"... but I refuse to go pick it up.


[/ QUOTE ]

Darkest Night is an AOE by the way....

Please explain to me:

Why is pressing in my case 7 (an attack) any more or less fun that pressing 5 (speed boost) ?

Simply, why is using a buff less fun than using an attack ?

Actually it can. Glue Arrow alone stops a lot of incoming damage.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, I'm sorry if it seems like I'm picking on you, but now we're promoting science fiction. Glue Arrow is an AoE slow that provides -20% recharge. This is the same amount of -Recharge as, for example, an Ice Controller's Frostbite. It's not useless, but it is not going to fill the void for a low level team that is taking lots of collateral damage and would like for their as-yet unshielded Scrappers to stop dying.

[/ QUOTE ]

But it does keep the people of of melee range of blasters... That alone is a huge survivability boost.

[ QUOTE ]

Personally, if anything I'd rather see it turned into kind of a copy of Omega Manuever.


[/ QUOTE ]

This is something I have been in favour of ever since the OM came out

Ah, you throw away one of the best tools in a set, and then complain about the way others build their characters.

Defender
18.75% tohit defbuff (enhaceable to ~30% with SO)
37.5% damage debuff

Corr 15% tohit and 30% damage debuff
MM 11.25% tohit and 22.5% damage debuff

Isn't the Friends and Family program the thing that lets the devs invite their CoH-playing friends and family to beta test before the closed beta invites go out?


[/ QUOTE ]

Yep. Basically the first small scale testing for the office and a few others. Normally lasts just a couple of days.

*flips 16mm film of the events of this evening*

Screenshots, demo files, costumes. none of them big but the do addd up

Im at 3 gig with a decent chunk of each saved

http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Bronze_Class_Recipe_Roll

there are 149 possibles in the 10-14 range, and 202 in the 15-19 range.


My lowbie has been grabbing enhancements as he goes and will roll other stuff once he is a little higher.

Id maybe suggest a pale green for the Pool Bs, something nice and visual.
