Well at least everyone who reads this can start helping by not spamming the arena themselves.

It could be a bug, but as not everything needs to be activate all at once, I can see it as a design that you can have some grace control (not sure about power, never having had that problem)


[/ QUOTE ]

Erm, they do. I'm not sure if its a bug or not but I'd suspect some of your items aren't really working. Did you check them all?

[ QUOTE ]

Less posting when you should be asleep, more grinding SoW's when you should be asleep plix.

Oh now I get it why you were in Sirens last night

[ QUOTE ]

Even if you were SJ-ing and got knocked back in mid-air, chances are you'd probably be at the "getting back up" part of the animation by the time you hit the ground

[/ QUOTE ]

That is impossible afaik, you are in falling animation all the way down to the ground and after few bounces you do the 'get up' animation (Trust me, Ive power thrusted people off skyscrapers in sirens )

SK = sidekick (lackey and LK in cov)

Player who is at least 3 levels higher than you can sidekick you, which means you will fight and play as if you'd have the same lvl as your mentor-1 lvl. (you wont gain any new powers but the game will treat you as if you'd be higher lvl). For example, you are lvl 15, and a lvl 50 will sk you. The game will treat you as a lvl 49. This marvelous piece of code allows for lower lvl people to keep playing same missions as their higher lvl friends and is one of my favorite features of COH/COV.

For sidekick to function, you must stay close to your mentor. The game will warn if you stray too far.

Sidekicking will not allow you to pass the minimum level requirements of hazard zones.

You can sk other people when you are at least lvl 10.

The forums don't seem to like replying to you btw Hammerfall, click reply and by the time you hit submit it tells you the form is no longer valid.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats because if I edit the post while you were replying to it. I'm afraid I edit my posts very often right after posting..

[ QUOTE ]
Thats the arcane equivalent of the advanced database. Could you copy that character over to test, start a dummy base (assuming you haven't already made one) and see if you can place it (with it successfully attaching to your main control item)? Wondering whether the issue I've been getting with certain aux items lately is similar to the arcane one shortly after the CoV beta.

[/ QUOTE ]

Iirc there have been functionality problems with arcane items ever since bases were introduced.. The devs seem to test things with tech items mainly..

What about:

All fights at Level 21, any levels can enter, no AT limit, heroes and villains allowed in the same team?

Would make for some interesting tactics.

[/ QUOTE ]

U mean lvl 21's only? If so that may be a lil' bit tricky 2 get sufficient numbers

[/ QUOTE ]

He said any levels. :P

Fights take place at 21, auto-exemplar.

[/ QUOTE ]

Id have loads of characters available for lvl 21 fights, but only one for lvl 50 (Im not playing my tank in pvp). I hope you go forward with this.

Smoke flash is bad.

Placate is a must.

Thats a start. Caltrops normally isn't worth it unless you make a build that specifically needs it (like tp foe in pvp or whatnot).

You will want to 3-slot your defensive toggles with defbuffs sooner or later. Rin is important so is Sha. The build above is a nice start . I'd take hurdle instead of swift though.

Edit: Well in normal PvE there are a lot of ways to build your character so experiment and have fun.

Even if you do get mezzed in mid-air, it only lasts until you hit the deck, after which Grounded kicks in again.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah but I'd imagine you'd land on your butt which is a no-no in PvP. (we were talking about KB resist)

[ QUOTE ]
Keep in mind that keeping your fury high is ALSO a way to reduce end useage. (IMO a very effective one too)

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree. Using more attacks per enemy is weak endurance-efficiency ^^

[ QUOTE ]
PD's are in for the event that's not in existence yet.

[/ QUOTE ]

You guys are insatiable

I wish I could participate with low lvl alts but everytime I try I get disappointed because they are so weak.

Both Acrobatics and Unyielding has been foolprrof for me so far.. My tank hasnt been KB thru unyielding ever, and neither has my blaster thru Acrobatics iirc..

[ QUOTE ]
You need to be higher than 45 to be able to get into the Zone. Other than that there is no limit.


[/ QUOTE ]

lvl 45 is enough to get to enter the Hive.

[ QUOTE ]

they were saying they wanted to add this port to mission as a feature of an improvement rather than being the default.

[/ QUOTE ]

Result: we will propably have to wait another year for this improvement to be programmed and introduced..

I still think poison can be real good in PvP, it can top any debuff numbers dark has, as long as it hits which is where dark gets some headway with tar patch.. Dark just gets the AoE heal which so [censored] good with MMs its unbelievable and I think should be *cough* nerfed.. But poison is pretty much -everything (except -fly and -jump..) which I like so much Weaken is like a reverse power boost and it doesnt end there..

I wish Id get my poison MM lvled some day..

I could probably sell it on Ebay. There must be someone out there who's lost most of their Monopoly money.

[/ QUOTE ]

Iirc monopoly is moving to credit cards these days so the old monopoly money may end up as a collectible lol.

(trying to lighten the atmosphere)

Power thrust has no use in combat really other than knocking people about. In my own PvP build I have 2 acc in it so I can hit with it in PvP when I need to but thats all there is to it really. Energy punch I love personally, underrated damage and one of the fastest attacks there is. You can squeeze it in many attack chains because it is so darn fast.

Bonesmasher is one of your big damage attacks and I recommend getting it when you can

I believe frost breath is an ok power in PvE but not that good in PvP.

..This has given me doubts about Union tbh..

[/ QUOTE ]

Strangely enough, Defiant also received it and were protesting heavily; but not as nastily I hear.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, before anyone carries my words any further I meant that there seems to be a higher percentage of those jackasses who flame over tells and channels than on defiant. I'd fathom most of them don't even post here at the forums. I did not direct this statement specifically at RPers or those PVPers that I know personally.

edit:
Since I don't PvP on union I'm not touching the subject of what the pvp zones are there like. I have to admit that I don't like non-PvP things in a PvP zone either, and will not tolerate getting told off from PvPing in a PvP zone either.

I hope you catch several of those hatespewers from the chat logs and they receive what they deserve from the mods. I have never been aware of any particular rifts between RPers and PVPers, at least any PVPers that I appreciate.

I can't believe anyone could ever believe this for a second.. It was funny joke but I'm sorry to hear RP community got flamed for no reason of their own.. I hope you can get over it and stay in game.. Don't let 'them' win.

..This has given me doubts about Union tbh..

Thanks for response.

[ QUOTE ]

As for kb protect, in PvE grounded is more than enough,

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I was asking because my builder doesnt state grounded has KB resist SO it works only on the ground?

[ QUOTE ]
why are people trying to make up rules when they're losing? shouldnt it be anything goes? ive earned my insp, so shouldnt it be my right to use them as i please?

[/ QUOTE ]

They..........................whine. Ignore their pleas and mash them

Scrappers have a brawl index higher than any villainous AT in the game

[/ QUOTE ]There is no such thing as brawl index

[/ QUOTE ]

This guy seem pretty convinced there is...

[/ QUOTE ]

Lol, brawl index.

Hey, sorry if theres another thread about this in the forum depths but im lazy.. But can somebody give me a short recap of Electric armour, what it needs and what is unnecessary. If someone can provide fairly reliable numbers Id appreciate it.
Im not trusting my hero builder much.

Particularly, does it have a hole in knockback resistance as it looks like? Do I need acrobatics? What resistance powers are worth slotting and why. I have an opinion about what I want but Id like some failrly reliable info.

I'm aiming mainly for PVP but my question is more of the overall usefulness of the Ela powers.

Edit ps. and which of the toggles are endurance-hungry

My new EM/Elec brute, Captain Hellfire has been unleashed on roque isles and I like it already..

Villains PPP - basically pointless in a PvP arena.

[/ QUOTE ]Heavy -spd, -rech pointless?

[/ QUOTE ]

If youre referring to mace pool then the problem is its duration I think, which has felt pretty weak from the little experience I have.

On comparison hero epics feel certainly stronger.. All defenders get telekinesis, hello? hello? Trollers get mez resistance (I mean if they already didnt have from their secondary..) etc etc I mean how can anyone say that PPPs are on par with that stuff..
