However it seems the rudeness and anality of the previous community had rubbed off on me.

However, for me it's pretty accurate. I've been playing *consistently* since then (actually since Feb 2005 instead of March, but close enough.) I *predate* bases and global names. I predate villainside and PVP. Would you like to actually have me answer with that degree of experience, or would you prefer getting pissy over getting more information? If the second, I'll just say "Go here: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Main_Page and don't ask anything that's covered there" and leave it at that.

For future reference, that *is* me getting rude, which I'd call perfectly justified in this case. Me answering a question? That tends *not* to be.

A support player or two can easily supply sufficient damage. No tank? a scrapper can take a decent amount of damage, especially if a support player is covering him by weakening his enemies or making him tougher. In fact a team of all support players with no main tank or damage dealer is still an extremely effetive group. Also, there are several power combinations that people will say are the best, like Fire control and kinetics for a controller, or fire blast for blaster, or stone armor for a tank. While these ARE effective power sets and combos, it is not possible to make a "bad" character. You may be less effective than others, but by no means are you useless. Basicly, I recomend a scrapper for your first character. Personally they are my favorite archetype. They can take a hit, and dish out some hefty damage. Controllers are another one of my favorites, and while they can be very hard to play (especially if you are solo), they are potentially extremely powerful. Blasters are a bit of a challenge as well, but only because they are fragile. Not a complicated character to play. Then there are tankers. I personally dont like playing tanks, I find them kind of dull. However many people enjoy them and thay can make a major difference on a team. Defenders are another archetype that is potentially frustrating, but very fun, and quite powerful. Then there are Warshades and Peacebringers. You don't get to play them until you get a character to lvl 20, and they are possibly the most complex archetypes, namely because of theyre ability to shapeshift. As a human they can deliver modest damage from a range, and have some decent powers to resist damage. However they can shapeshift into a kind of flying squid, and deliver a powerful ranged punch, but they lose virtually all of theyre damage resistance. They can also turn into a large, lobster like creature. This form is wicked tough, and can heal itself. However this form is slow and can only attack at a close range. All in all, no archetype or powerset is bad, but they are all unique. Try out a whole bunch of characters before you pick a favored archetype.

Oh, and welcome to Paragon City and/or the rogue isles. I have found the CoH community to be a very friendly one in my 5 years here, and I hope you have the same experience. As for a starting Server, I recomend pinnacle. It is a small community, but there are enough people to get stuff done. It is also the friendliest server I've been on, and in my experience, most peple are very tolerant and understanding of new players. if you do decide to play there, look me up. My global name is @szpek (if you wanna talk to me, type "/tell @szpek, inseret text here"). I have a small casual supergroup (basicly a guild) you're welcome to join

As some of you may have already guessed my avatar is in fact a Schooner. I guess I should explain myself. I am from Australia. We have seven different territories/states and each has its own rules. Let’s start where I am from, in Queensland. A Schooner is 425 mL so it’s about three quarters of a pint and is probably the most common measurement that a typical Aussie man would ask for in a bar. Alternative measures are a pot, which sounds bigger but isn’t, it’s 285 mL. Or you could ask for a glass which would be 200 mL.

Over in New South Wales, schooners and glasses are the same but a pot is called a middie. In Victoria it is all the same as Queensland but in South Australia a glass becomes a butcher, a pot turns into the schooner and a pint is only 425 mL, which is a schooner in everybody else’s language.
In Western Australia a glass is a bobby, a pot is a glass and a schooner is a pot, according to some sources. But others say it works out the same as it is in Queensland except a pot is a middie as it is in New South Wales. That’s because in Western Australia a pot is 575 mL which is slightly more than a pint but close enough to be called a pint by all the English people who live there.

I am not making this up, it’s for real.

In Northern Territory a schooner is a schooner but a pot is a handle and a glass is a seven. Although another source tells me that a glass is a six not seven, because the seven is actually a pot and the handle is 425 mL which of course, in most other places is a schooner.

Stick with me on this, we only have Tasmania left to go.

In Tassie, just as in N.T. (probably) a glass is a seven. But a pot is a ten and a pint only 425 mL.

And if your still confused by all the mL's. Just remember that 425mL is equal to about 14.3 oz.

Hope this helps to clear the confusion.
