I know one thing for sure. It will be hard to get a good IO'ed villain build. Good thing I don't do leet builds and SO's are cheap.

Lets hope we can sell those useless merits in i14. Then at least they will be worth something for me.

BTW - interesting to notice that not all respec trials are equal:

Terra Volta Respec Trial 2 20 25 -5

Which is logical when you consider that the first respec is often done by inexperienced players with bad builds.

However this will change fast because from now on everybody will want to respec 1.

EDIT:
Interesting to note that this updated list gives us the approximate median average time to complete the various trials/TFs/SFS, as the rewards are calculated from the median average with a points/hr rate of 24 for trials and 20 for TFs.

So we now know that the median average time for Positron (64 merits) is something like 3hrs 12 minutes (being 64/20 hours).

I think it a pity that they only look at the time it takes and not at the difficulty of the TF/SF. There are some that offer a good challenge and those should be worth a bit more.

I would like to see a /stuck that would bring the mobs back to their proper spawning position. For those mobs that ran of the maps and their ilk. Problem is that while it would solve the stuck/missing mobs problem it would probably be exploitable.

Pocket D is a very logical place to start a co-op tf imo. I would love to see a tf starting from there.

I don't think it would make much of a difference between Defiant and Union to get a villain team going. There are less villains then heroes out there. To make matters worse, villains are very good at soloing so most players are not really in the need to get a team as well.

I suggest you to make a few heroes as well for those moments you are fed up with playing solo.

Not a bad scenario but

What about some villain loving? The best thing about the Valentines mission is that it is a coop one. That heroes and villains need each other to get the objective.

And no, this isn't a mission for a villain. Imo this needs a bit more tinkering.

BTW on my Bane there is also a problem with the attack mode. In this case she is holding her weapon (the energy mace) and instead of doing an attack, she just keeps it holding in ready mode when i use a ranged attack. This happens with every ranged attack and every weapon (tested it on 4 cossies).

Yo villain have a cookie! Rawr

Villian is my cookie eat him last!

Cookie Cookie!!! Au Au

All close for my Cookie Aura!

Lets Cookie Carefully

It gets tricky when they summon pets. Then AS is not going to be of much use because those pets keep disrupting it. Hmm makes me wonder, can you fit no disrupt Enhancements in AS? Might be worth taking then.

It's very rare i meet a pre maddona or, conversly, someone thats so bad that the whole team implodes because of them. Some teams work out better than others but no one, generally, has a hissy fit. It's pretty much all good natured fun.

And I think that's exactly how it should be.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have the same experience. Most people are just trying to have a bit of fun. It is seldom that I encounter people going into that hissy fit (new favorite word ). Most people try to nudge persons with not working builds who are a menace for the team with sometimes less then subtle hints. But it has been a few years since i have seen people thrown out of teams or people starting to whine or rant. I guess most of those went to WoW.

Hmm. Cant stick to Stalkers myself, I find playing with /DA scrapper is pretty close to being a stalker, except with more consistant damage and a lovely heal.
I say ditch the stalker. Unless someone can advise you to do other wise.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well a lot of people gave some advice on hos to play a Stalker. Especially advice about how to play a nin/nin stalker. I followed up on this advise and found that my Stalker has gained a bit more survivability. Enough survivability to allow me to play her once in a while. A thing that goes well against normal opponents.

I even managed to take out a few EB's. I had to use dozens of inspirations to do so and it was on the lowest challenge settings. But I managed to get both Barracuda and that awful Freak tank with his summoned earth elemental thingie. Next mission will be the grand finale and I can't bring myself to do that one knowing that i will have to face him again and some others that are worse. I remember that my main needed lots of help and i know that my stalker will not be able to solo it. Even if i load up fully on inspirations. So I suppose I will wait until the EB cons grey on me. Sigh. I hate EB's.

Was fun even though my creation didn't get any prizes. You have to wonder what is wrong whit huge muscleman and tiny bows

But anyway:

Thanks Twang for this event! Never seen so many archers in the same CoH place!

Just a question.

Can characters with the longbow temporary weapon apply?

MY AR/dev blaster has no problems. Tried several weapons and most of the powers. All work fine.

Yes Grinning.
I petitioned it and tested it abit.
If you choose the "Single Shot" you dont get graphics on any A, B or C guns. Did test it on male and female (not huge).
However, choose Pummel and you have grapics.
Did not test further then lvl 1 *cough*

[/ QUOTE ]

Tested it on a huge model. Don't work with model c weapon (didnt test the other 2)

The gun will load when you use pummel. But to use it in combat you need to pummel first. After the gun is loaded, pummel wont restore it. So if you open with single shot it is invis and stays so for the entire combat.

well my veat soldier haven't had a correctly drawn weapon yet. Didn't use any of the vet powers so its not that.

As a matter of fact. Use the Teleport pad from your SG to travel to Port Oakes and voila you end up in front of the correct door. Very handy.

Besides Dr Aeon wrote an excellent report that University rots your brain. You get all the education you need from Television.

By the way, how do the VEAT arcs fit in with the whole Destined One storyline of CoV?
When you break out of the Zig, is it just assumed you were a Destined one who'd joined Aachnos, rather than a normal freelance Villains?

[/ QUOTE ]

They fit into the Destined one Storyline like a glove. A seamless excellent storyline. It would be a spoiler to tell you if they are destined ones or not. And I wont tell ya (for one thing I still have to find out myself ). Besides, this is a ploy to get you to play another character!

Tried creating a new veat (soldier) and I couldn't help notice that she is no longer holding her weapon. It looks a bit weird shooting with a invisible gun.

Anyone else got this problem?

And its a fun arc as well. Well worth the time doing even if only once. So much better then the endless: Oh look the council did something bad again, well arrest them all. What do you mean you are bored to tears about the council?

The ourobouros arcs are not SF's. They may behave like one but they are not.

Why?
- No badges associated with them like every SF/TF does have
- No merit rewards to speak of.

Heroes not only have the caves, they also got possi for the low levels. A boring TF but it has gained much popularity because it gives tons of merits.

And so this topic has become a flamefest.

Blegh. Padlock please.

That idea could work. It could even fit into the going rogue thing.
