She does look a bit like a vamp or flapper. 1914-1920s happen to be my favorite years to draw inspiration for fashion from as it transitions from these times to film noire which...I absolutely love.

Quote:While true, an SS/SD Brute would outdamage this to an obscene degree while still being survivable enough that there's not much point to sacrificing that damage for Tanker-levels of survival. While I'm sure there are some niche situations where a Tanker would be better, three of my Brutes are quite capable of soloing at x8 (two at +2/x8), and I've tanked for ITFs, LGTFs, and LRSFs with Brutes, so...Originally Posted by Psiphon
Hi Bill,
I've got a SD/SS tank that is certainly not low damage!
Obviously damage is relative, you tend to be at the cutting edge so your expectations are high. I'm sure if you rolled an SD/SS Tank you would be pleasantly surprised.
In the scheme of the game and other ATs it does good damage and is highly survivable on a small budget. -
Zoning works. I had to claim 9 times for a base I was working on. So I had to zone back and forth between Cap and my base. Considering it fills your inventory with tons of junk that you can't get rid of without placing, changing modes, and then reselling, it seems like it's a reasonably good idea just to avoid accidental multi-clicks.
But it would be an even better idea if you could just delete items from your personal inventory (with an okay prompt). -
There's something wrong with the game today. I don't know what it is.

Quote:What if it's MY grandma?Originally Posted by Golden_Avariel
Some of us would be angry if you dug up grandma (or dad or sister
) from the grave and abused the body for your own selfish reasons (and just so you can fight crime IS a selfish reason).
At the very least your lack of sensitivity for the dignity of those people and their surviving relatives would be appalling.
And my character comes from a place/family where this sort of stuff is common and doesn't phase them in the same way it does your characters, and they don't mind being used in such a fashion. -
Purple Patch:
Code:The drop in strength for +3 and +4 is very significant. +1s only take 90% damage, while +2s take 80%. That's -10% each jump. After that it falls a full 15%, then -17%. And at each interval they're doing another +11% damage to you. Even if you can survive the damage, +4s are taking less than half damage, being debuffed for less than half the amount, and being mezzed for less than half as long.Level Above Below +0 100% 100% +1 111% 90% +2 122% 80% +3 133% 65% +4 144% 48%
In practice I've found that while a lot of my toons CAN run at +3 and +4, anything over +2 is just horrendously slow. I've tried a few times even on large teams with lots of debuffs and damage to run at +4, but watching a whole group of 8 pause for about 30 seconds just to take down one boss, every spawn, is a waste of time.
It may be a perception issue though and it just feels slow, but isn't, in light of the actual exp given. But from my viewpoint, +2 is the sweet spot. -
Quote:I don't think it'll work that way. That would be directly affecting your powers, and I don't see any logical reason why someone becoming evil would suddenly become weak. I imagine what will happen is that you end up with 0 influence, and your infamy is locked out (unless you switch back). So while you're in Paragon City you can't buy items or do anything until you start earning some hero cred. That would make more sense than your powers fading.Originally Posted by Pimpstress_Bambi

Their tails are actually pretty good in terms of technology, but their implementation is... Odd. Granted, I don't know of many bipeds with long tails, but their tails are always up and perpendicular to the body, which just looks REALLY weird. Even from a purely physical standpoint.

I made my monkeygirl in CO when I tried it (for all of one day). Have to say the tails were really stiff and straight. They seemed very fake, even though they were animated. Hopefully ours won't be as starchy.

Quote:You don't like spending 19 endurance to do single-digit slotted damage at level 50?Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
I might be daft, but maybe I can hope they would balance MM personal attacks.
Seriously the endurance cost for what you get out of MM attacks is criminal, especially on Thugs. I had to respec out of Empty clips instantly, because of how appalling it was. And this was with SOs and Stamina, might I add.

Quote:You picked the right place to start! As long as you're friendly, you'll find the rest of our community is friendly too. And most of us like helping out newbies.Originally Posted by Varkarrus
I'm a total noob
Enhancements aren't too hard. There are various types though. You can check the wiki page (the wiki has everything by the way). It has a lot of technical stuff you don't really need to know, but it's still helpful. http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/EnhancementsQuote:and am somewhat overwhelmed. I got the idea of enhancements and inspirations now, but I still don't really know what to do.
For normal enhancements you can buy in stores (just check your map with M to find stores), you get:
* Training Origin (TOs)
* Dual Origin (DOs)
* Single Origin (SOs)
TOs taper out eventually. You can start getting DOs at level 12, and start getting SOs at level 22, but you don't have to. If you play the game normally, you should have no trouble getting enhancements. Just buy and slot what you like in each power. With some trial and error you'll learn what you like and what benefits you. There's no real right answer.
Basic way to do enhancements is to buy new ones every 5 levels. So levels that end with a 2 or 7. Enhancements can be slotted when your level is -3 to +3 the level of the enhancement. So if you're 22 you can slot enhancements that are levels 19 to 25. If they're lower than 19, they become red and no longer work, and need to be replaced. Oh, and don't slot more than 3 of the same type of enhancement in one power, as a rule of thumb. You can look up Enhancement Diversification if you want to know why, but it's easier to just understand not to do it! http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Enhanc...iversification
There are also Invention Origin enhancements (IOs), but you don't need to worry about those. If you are interested, the wiki has your answers again. http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Invent...n_Enhancements
As long as you're on trial, yes, it's restricted. You can still play arcs if someone invites you to a team, but you can't make your own stuff until your account is full version.Quote:First of all, I'm still on trial time. Does this mean I can't use Architect Entertainment? I clicked on everything. I did the tour, talked to all the holograms, and so on. It just says that I can't use it from this location.
This one's easy. Starting at level 6 you can take pool powers. Note that when you level and get powers from 6 and beyond, you have the choice of taking one of your primary or secondary powers as well as a pool power. You can have up to four pools, but you aren't limited in how many powers you can take from each pool, though the higher powers have prerequisites.Quote:Second of all, how do you fly? I want to make a flying character. I'm going to delete the one I already have in lieu for a better prepared, better looking one.
One of the pools is Flight. You can take Hover (slow flying for use in combat) at level 6+. You can also take Air Superiority if you want an attack. If by level 14 you've taken one of the powers in Flight, you can take Fly itself and fly around all over the place.
Another pool you should look into is Fitness. It gives you basic bonuses to your stats like move speed, regeneration, and recovery. Pretty much everyone takes Fitness for Stamina because it gives them more endurance to use powers with.
While that depends on what you like to do, most people start with Scrappers (heroes) or Brutes (villains). They get self defense and attacks and get a good mix of being hard to kill while also being good at beating up enemies.Quote:Third of all, what's a good noobish starting class?
But you have 12 starting slots per server, and altitis (the practice of having many characters -- I have 26 on my home server) is common in CoH, so feel free to make some of everything and see what you enjoy the most! You can also learn more about the ATs (classes) on the wiki. http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Archetypes
There's no "best" server. If there was, we'd all be on it.Quote:Fourth of all, what's the best server? The highest population servers are Freedom, Virtue, and Justice. Virtue is the unofficial RP server. Try them out and see what you like. Each server has its own identity and slightly different communities.
Welcome to the game, good luck in your journey. Let us know if you have any other questions! -
