I've also noted a bug when soloing MA's (Which I reported but nothing has been done against) I play a Squishy controller. Before I've had no real difficulty soloing by using blind as cc and phantom army on the really big groups. In MA though I have to search for missions without any costom mobs at all. Why? My blind isn't working as it should with custom mobs. It works fine on meele mobs, but all ranged mob s are still happily fiering away with deadly accuracy even when blinded. My boyfriend have had the same issue with his cc power(he plays blaster). And another issue on the same notes custom characters are much better aimers than normal mobs.

For me the trouble is most people do like to use custom groups making it nearly impossible finding arcs without them, and especially finding good arcs.

Custom Critters who are given a ranged damage powerset as their primary, as they are based on PLAYER powersets, are automatically gifted with Defiance from Blasters inherent.

This means, if you use holds on them, they'll be paralysed and unable to run away, but can still use their tier 1 and tier 2 powers (and presumably, their tier 1 from their secondary powerset).

Not quite sure if they still get Defiance if the ranged powerset is secondary, may need some testing.

Other inherents which Custom Critters seem to have inherited, providing they get the proper powersets is Overpower - from Controllers, allows for double magnitude hold. There's probably a ton of others which haven't been documented.

Incidently, my illusion controller has never had a problem against ranged custom mobs... remember, you have Deceive, Spectral Terror, and Phantom Army as well. :3

I made my souvenir similiar to the ones ingame - with the title of the storyarc listed in the souvenir after the first paragraph.

There's always that option at least. :3

Overall I'm glad you enjoyed it and I WILL be looking at pretty much every point you've raised to improve the arc further, only one that really stumps me so far is what to change the 80's PPD to as I couldnt find a set that wasnt overly super as a secondary ( plus the whole 80's kung fu movie does look quite amusing on my play throughs )

again, suggestions from all welcome!!!

Instead of Super Strength, use War Mace. As you're using 80s policemen, use Police Baton or Police Nightstick. Not sure when Nightsticks (the kind you see in-game) were introduced in America, so may be safer to use Police Baton.

I know it's probably been asked a number of times already, but with the new wave of people repeatedly begging for powerlevelling on-game, could the ignore list possibly be extended?

I might as well give it a shot, Col. :3

The Trolls have arisen from the depths of the Hollows! What is their master plan? EBs in almost every mission (especially the last, which also has an AV), may not be suitable for all ATs to solo (though two people who commented on my storyarc said they did it with tricked out blasters). Recommended level of play is 35+.

Note as always, you can turn Bosses into Lieutenants, Elite Bosses into Bosses, and AVs into EBs by playing on normal difficulty. :3

Couldnt have said it better. My thoughts exactly. PLing leads to annoying noob lvl50s. I get my 12 month vet badge this weekend and have 4 lvl50s which had minimal PLing (a few lvls each here and there) and I still feel like there is so much I dont know

From what I know, MA doesn't award defeat badges, or the achievement badges such as damage taken, etc. If you have any suspicions, just check their badges for badges which a normal person would have gained in their career. :3

As many have stated, the new looking building in the warzone looks a tad ridiculous. They could at least move it inside the Vanguard compound or fairly closer.

Seeing as Arachnos (who back Dr. Aeon) and Crey Industries (who helped fund the whole MA enterprise) are the main investors behind Architect Entertainment, wouldn't it be better to have a neutral faction of Arachnos and Crey patrolling/guarding the building than Vanguard heavies? If you want Arachnos heavies, use Arachnos Heavy Blasters (the ones normally seen in Recluse's Victory), only with the faction "AeonCorp Security"

I don't use numpad commands on my mastermind. I use the teleport binds, combined with left shift, left ctrl, and left alt, in order to move minions, lieutenants and the boss around. I use a five button mouse with the two extra buttons to command either the bruiser (since I'm thugs), or the other five henchmen to attack. In addition, I keep the standard three commands given to you at the very start. :3

Requiem - Double agent, active in both the Council and the 5th Column. Using both of them to further the Nictus' agenda.
His loyalties lie first with the Nictus, then with the 5th, then with the Centre.


[/ QUOTE ]
From what I can tell from Ouroboros, Requiem was actually the LEADER of the 5th Column. Bit hard to be a doublecrossing agent when you're the leader of said organisation. However, he is faithful to the Nictus, so who can say? Perhaps the 5th Column would have been his own personal army on a world filled with Nictus if he had his say.

All that went out of the window when the Center took over the 5th and absorbed it into the Council, so naturally, from his exploits in Cimerora, he's a bit peeved by that. He told his last remaining... well, an awful LOT of followers to hide themselves within the Council and wait for the day when the 5th would return, so he obviously still has strong ties with the 5th even if it doesn't technically exist anymore in present time.

As for Vandal, he's not a robot, he's a cyborg, which is a difference - he still has organic parts (presumably his brain, for one).

I wish I knew that before I unpublished my storyarc to fix for errors. :3

Thanks for the info

Like how we can purchase Freedom Phalanx/Vindicators/Arachnos/etc packs, we need a Cimerorans Heroes pack which would consist of the following:

Imperious (Elite Boss)
Imperious (Hero/Archvillain)
Daedalus (Elite Boss)
Daedalus (Hero/Archvillain)
Sister Solaris (Elite Boss)
Sister Solaris (Hero/Archvillain)
Sister Airlia (Elite Boss)
Sister Airlia (Hero/Archvillain)
Sybil Bramlett (Elite Boss)
Marcus Valerius (Elite Boss)

As for Sister Airlia's powers, just give her Ghost Widow's powers.

Reason why is that the existing Imperious, Sister Solaris and Daedalus are listed as Boss Signature Pet class? How is that right? We need stronger Hero and EB versions for making Cimeroran arcs!

Whatever build you choose, don't forget Tactical Training: Maneuvers!

So, did Eviscerate's critical rate become the same as all other attacks when unhidden (10% base, with 3% per team member)? Because if so, then the description of the power basically needs to be changed.

[ QUOTE ]
Yep.

[/ QUOTE ]
Is that an answer to my first post or second post?

[ QUOTE ]
It became single target.

[/ QUOTE ]
I didn't actually notice that, but since I haven't played this level 25 stalker (just hit 26) for like 7 months, it hasn't really affected me. :3

Why was it changed anyway? Did it receive a buff in damage to compensate?

"You spin and slash violently at the foe in front of you. This attack deals exceptional damage, and has a high chance of landing a critical hit even while not hidden."

So, with issue 12's (or whatever, I don't remember exact date) update of stalkers which gave them all better odds of using attacks while hidden, fear from Assassin attacks not killing their targets, and 10% critical rate to all attacks out of stealth with additional % for people in team, how does this affect Eviscerate, which presumably had a "high chance of landing a critical hit"?

I checked its info ingame to find "0.00%% chance for 79.26 lethal damage on target". Damage obviously depends on level and enhancements, but I'm thinking this is the left over thing from prior to the update? If so, would that be why it's now "0.00%%", which means Eviscerate now follows all other attacks of 10% base critical rate while unhidden?

Well, she could at least make use of some parts of the costume pack, such as new wings on her head, or the valkyrie skirt or belt.

So, with the new Valkyrie-named costume set, when will Positron's sidekick Valkyrie get to wear some of the new Valkyrie pieces?

Super Reflex - Good overall, vulnerable to non positional psi and toxic damage, vulnerable to defdebuff.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pretty sure each passive along with the toggles all have resistance to Defense Debuff, making you almost capped if you choose to take them all. And that's where the problem lies, in order to make full use of Super Reflexes, you need to pretty much take every power, with Elude as an optional choice if you're not going for softcap.

"But before Hero 1 and Omega Team left this world, they put together a time capsule. They knew they wouldn't be coming back. It's just a few things: letters to their children, old high school photos, things to help people remember who they were. The city hasn't opened it yet because, well, people don't like to admit that Omega Team is never going to make it back here. The plan is to open it on the seventh anniversary of the heroes' sacrifice."
-- Justin Greene (from Cape Mission, CoH)

Seventh anniversary according to game timeline (not real time), means seven years after the Rikti War ended on 27th November 2002. This means that the Time Capsule should be opened on 27th November 2009.

So, is anything planned? Some sort of special game event?

Just wanted to pop a note again to everyone who took part with Operative Opiliones the Crab Spider. Very nice work, we combined in around 1 hour 35 min.

Team was something like:
Crab Spider
Crab Spider
Bane Spider
Fortunata
Earth/Psi Dominator
?/Dark Corruptor
?/Kin Corruptor
Fire/WP Brute

Special thanks to the other VEATs for possessing Maneuvers each - combined, the whole team had softcapped defences Other VEATs, remember to take Maneuvers!

Bleah, getting a Fraud Suspicion on my card when I'm trying to buy the mac version - probably because I'm on holiday or something at the moment. D:

My DM/Sr is now over the soft caps and was just below them before I13......... what happened?

[/ QUOTE ]

What hasn't been mentioned yet is that Touch of Death (popular set for Super Reflexes) got bumped up from 3.13% to 3.75% or something like that. So, if you had several sets of Touch of Death, if you were just under melee cap, it's small wonder you're now over it.

I think a better 'uber' inspiration would be a gold one which gives you tier 3 inspiration resistance, defence, attack, tohit, tops up your health and endurance, and tags on break free. To make it, you'd have to combine eight specific tier 3 inspirations (include the tier 3 awaken one too) just to build one of them.

What else would probably need to be added is to combine six tier 2 inspirations of the same to make one tier 3. Tier 1 obviously can't be allowed since you can buy them from vendors or contacts.

She is a officialy a dominator, but she mostly uses patron and signature powers.

In reality NPCs don't have ATs. None of them have inherents for one thing.

To fight against her, you will find she mostly mezzes.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm pretty sure Cimerorans have Scrapper's inherent (critical hit). Wretch apparently has Fury inherent, thought I'm not sure if Black Scorpion does...

But anyway. NPCs probably will never get access to Domination because it will probably be broken in their hands, haha, so you can't really measure it by that alone.

However, it could be said that to simulate the domination, they just gave her mag100 Soul Storm, to pretend that she's constantly using domination...

Can Scirocco or Ice Mistral use Scourge? If so, then you could always check if Ghost Widow can Scourge opponents...
