  1. Cambo is an Ausie and so was ghost Raptor, not seen Cambo around for a while now I think about it

    There will be a thread here, and as there will be fewer posts on it, the chances of the devs seeing them will be higher - another benefit of the Euro servers

    I'm glad at least somebody still believes the Devs actually bother to look here

    Yah, couldn't find a good concept for a Cold/ toon...

    Down on his luck, too poor to own a coat, thus its a Cold Defender.......... see easy
  4. I normally say "elec" as a staple response but I might say Munitions this time just for a change. Its a shame about the early power choice on it though

    And here I thought this would be a rational post proclaiming that, yes, MA is indeed the new end-game content. Ah well.

    Rational post? Not seen any of those since the CoV beta board, what do they look like?
  6. Think its probably too late to close it now, the whole boxed version and all. I was never really for it to start with, rather have had them putting out new arcs themselves than spending this time on a faulty tool that was delivered before it was ready and yet already had to be put back. But then its been a while since an issue release made me smile and I've actually had more joy from the boosters packs and more anticipation for the next one of those than for I15.

    Shift+Tab sounds like a good idea :-D I'll actually change my key bind to do that by default. Thanks.

    Is it normal for an Icey Tanker not to target mobs for most of the fight. I swear I don't remember ever having the experience before although I did recently return after a break from CoH.

    My WP/Fire tank doesn't target foes until I've hit at least combustion to make sure I'm grabbing most of the agro, if that hit all of them and they are tight around me I'll probably move on to Fire Sword Circle before I start tabbing around and taunting.

    My Ice/DB targets straight away cause I plan to start the weaken combo, or energy torrent to get mitigation from the start.

    My Ice/Ice normally lays down a slick before I target and will then hit Energy Absorption. or the other way around, depending on recharge.

    So I think the secondary makes a difference as well as the primary. When playing my Ice/Fire blaster on a fast moving team I don't always get around to targeting before the group is dead as I'm working on PBAoEs and LBAoEs, it probably works similar for tanks, if its not a "taunt" moment and you're PBAoE heavy you probably wont be selecting targets as its an unnecessary key use that takes time
  8. you ditched your cold??! Fool!
  9. I normally use Shift+Tab to the first ltnt I find on my Rad, cause that's the reverse order to people who tab
  10. That's fairly impressive, I find the TF a bore on a team, Solo it would be a true challenge of my patience. To still be able to think your way around problems against the last AV is impressive

    You can roll a blaster with a mix of range and melee, or for extreme play you can go all melee on most builds (with the option of 2 builds per character we now have, you can take your pick

    [/ QUOTE ]

    We can have two builds now? How does that work? Sorry to sound so dumb I feel like a total noob

    [/ QUOTE ]

    If you go to a trainer you can choose to select your build. The first time you select your second build it will need to be, um, built but after that you can switch back and forth between the two. I think its every 15 minutes (someone correct me if that's not true) that you can select which build you use. You need to buy enhancements for each build but that is no great chore unless you want them both to have the really expensive unique IOs

    I'm currently enjoying playing "Does it herd?" more than playing "Find the content" while I wait for the two new TFs in I15 and hopefully some amazing news about I16 to keep me interested.

    Mostly am just stock piling inf and rares for a rainy day on a 50 but I can see from that how could be fun to PL, to be PL'd seems dull though.

    Basically until I get new story to follow on from what we have all I have of interest is "I wonder if I could do that........" which normally involves something stupid. I blame DSorrow for starting me off soloing AVs on scrappers, which led me to thinking "What can I do with my AoE toons" hence the game of "Does it herd?"

    Most spectacular death, involving as many mobs as possible is another good one till i15 comes along.

    Got 17 Fire Melee/Fire Blast bosses on my Ice Tank last night, oddly was fine until HF ran out, then died in seconds

  18. I was answering the OP rather than putting out the same views I put on the locked thread as to what I thought an exploit was. Trying to respect Sing's request and avoid the talks on punishment

    I think an exploit is receiving an disproportionate reward for the effort you have put in due to a flaw in the game engine.

    I would consider farming with the aid of multi FF generators as an exploit.

    I wouldn't consider farming groups only containing bosses as one as the risk there is higher, thus the reward can increase.

    I consider leaving your PC logged in with your character inside a mission earning you badges while you sleep the worst kind of exploit (though I did AFK trick or treat the first year they did that so in a way it is something I am guilty of too)

    Using the damage proc to kill Hami over and over again for reward I would have considered an exploit had it gone live.

    I'm unsure whether Perma Elude and Merma MoG back in the old days were an exploit or not, but they did remove all level of risk from the game. I think I can put them down as poor planning by the devs instead

    A majority of players have indeed been requesting measures to be taken against farming since Beta. Measures can now be taken.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I think the fact it was broken in Beta and still went live is what some people are taking an issue with when I read back through.

    If the devs thought of comm officers to be an exploit they could have removed them 1 week after I14 went live and it became obvious... they didnt.
