2) Nope. Only the SG that earned the prestige can use it.

altho salvage can be traded.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well yes. Salvage can be traded with anyone. But the OP didn't ask about that.

I also want to toughen up for PvP!

Take Epic Shields. Slot Epic Shields. PM me everytime your PvPing so I don't have to be there.

Y'know, people may start to get the impression you're afriad of Ice/Storm Controllers...

1) Coalitions are mostly good just for the social aspect, you link up the two SG's...very handy for finding teams with good people.

2) Nope. Only the SG that earned the prestige can use it.

3) Other SG's can visit your base...I'm not sure how it works with raids though. Hopefully they'll be able to help out.

4) Yes. If you're friends with people in another SG it's a good way to keep in contact and make fresh ties with other good people.

What PVP badges are there? I have the kill 20 heroes one on my villain (and possibly on Ms. Freedom actually)...not sure about others.

I'd be up for that. Badge hunting with the rsik of PVP

With Ms. Freedom I think...she's my badge [censored] character.

I think I remember Statesman saying he'd be adding more end game content in 'Year 2' of CoH (so this year). Probably not increasing the level cap, but still allowing our heroes (and villains by then) to become more powerful.

i thought you let them pay extra for picture's?

[/ QUOTE ]

She does pictures!?

[/ QUOTE ]

She does way more than just pictures, i just feel sorry for her chiropractor

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm really not sure I want to think about that!

I can't stop...

Doesn't say anything about it being interuptable in Villain Builder. And 4 seconds is alot faster than waiting for hide to kick back in.

Ah...but we ninja are trainned to work past the pain...even if it is eating through our bones...

That looks pretty similar to my Kat/Regen build actually. I have only have 2 heals in integration...I don't find it heals enough during battles to be worth the extra slots.

Now that you can't get perma-DP, 3:3 slotting is (imo) the best way to go. Then you have 2 nice clicky heals, one which boosts your hp.

As far as Build Up, if you plan on exemping much - take it earlier. But if you don't exemp...it doesn't really matter.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've just been doing some testing with Ms. Freedom and have (finally) settled on a build.

So I take back what I said about Integration...it does make a big difference.

I ran through a couple of Carnie missions on invincible, and I mean ran through. I didn't run out of end once (and this is against the end draining carnies), I was almost one shotting +3 minion even without criticals or build up. And I didn't even use DP or Reconstruction once. I really didn't feel at all nerfed.

Oh, and just noticed the question about IH.

the 3 heals are more than worth it, I tried it without...and it's not really that much use, I died more often than not.

I'd say the 2 end redux in Integration is overkill...I was fine without any. That said, I don't know about the end use of BS...so maybe one would be handy, try out a couple of missions on test to see how it feels before you finalise it.

Smoke Flash
---------------- Base Power Stats -------------------
Click | Target | AoE( 25 Ft )
Cost: 20.00 Act: 4 Rchg: 120.00 Dur: 20.00

Blinding Powder
---------------- Base Power Stats -------------------
Click | Target | Cone( 40 Deg. )
Act: 1.8 Rchg: 160.00 Dur: 15.00

Doesn't seem to bad to me, but I guess there aren't that many people at a high enough level to have their say yet. After all you need to be 28 and 35 for these two powers.

[ QUOTE ]
I hadn't thought of that. Falling damage doesn't unhide you so why should lava......


[/ QUOTE ]

Well possibly they might spot the hero shaped hole in the lava? Or the trail of lava you leave when you get out?

I can't say I've had too much trouble with Flash Freeze. I usually get domination up 2 or 3 times a mission...not sure if that's more or less than other sets though.

She does pictures!?

Depends really...if I'm alone, and it's a team of 5+ attacking...I'll probably run. If not, I'll stick it out.

Sorry - I don't think no PvP was Coh's USP. I am sure there are planty of MMORPG out there with no PvP.

CoH's USP was the ability to be a superhero in a MMORPG world with decent graphics (as I'm sure there's a MUD out there that allows the former).

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup. A Tale in the Desert for one.

I always thought CoH's USP in the MMO market was...um...playing as a (super)hero

bases are part of the expansion, so yes, you have to buy the expansion to use them.

No it doesn't... A mate and I have stuffed a single SG with 7 alts each and we got the 20k for each one. Alts don't matter.

[/ QUOTE ]

Certainly does as far as I've tested, we've been getting the 20k awarded and then immediately revoked.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, that explains it! I've been wondering about that message!

[ QUOTE ]
and there are some reports that your inf gaining reduces the closer you get to 35

[/ QUOTE ]

There haven't been 'some reports', that's just how it works. The devs have said so.

You've outlevelled Bloody Bay

We had 4 Corruptors and 4 Brutes...a pretty high damage combo, especially when you add in all the debuffs from the corruptors. The main enemy for us was lag...I'm not sure about all of the team, but some of us got some major lag when the AV spawned.

[ QUOTE ]
I bought it on the basis of the unique selling point. No guarantee for the future plans. I would expect that when they decided to add to the game they will do it in a way that it does not interfere with the premises that some of their customers perceive the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Please explain why you think it does interfere.

Nothing from the pre-PVP era of the game is taken away. Anything to do with PVP is completely seperate, there are probably 3 missions in the rest of the game that take you to those zones (one to be introduced to a contact in each zone), and they only take you into the safe zone, which you can leave the second you've spoken to the contact. And even that is going to change, the person you have to speak to will be outside the PVP zone - meaning you will never have to step foot in that zone.

Did it last night.... Bat'Zul is insanley hard and we actually gave up cuz we cudnt even get him down to 90% health....


[/ QUOTE ]We killed him in 20 seconds....

[/ QUOTE ]

Same here...it was quite a suprise. We actually had more trouble with his minions and their bloody ambushes.

[ QUOTE ]
Why on earth does this power effect players? Its unfair.

[/ QUOTE ]

Erm...because it's called tp foe?

In the PVP zone other players are your foe...why on earth wouldn't it work on them?
