I can't remember where it was or who posted it, but someone posted a rundown on the color hex and how it was assigned on one of the topics somewhere.

It was most probably Mateo since he seems to be the most savvy on the forums about this sort of thing.

BTW Laxx, have you ever run Lightning Field on your Elec/Elec and found it to be worth it? I have not, as I said, at lower levels, but may give it a spin in my 40s if it is effective.

I will say that lightning field was sucking more endurance than it was helping kill stuff. I just deleted him and remade him skipping Field this time and I'm going to try just ranged skills instead of including that toggle skill to see if I end up with a bit more stability in my tactics.

If it is useful, it isn't for any build until after Stamina is slotted for sure.

Also, you can use slash commands or a macro once you get into window mode to adjust the window sizing, for values other than the dropdown sizes. The command is /screen x y. So for 1280x960 I would use /screen 1280 960. Basically I use these for when I need to change game window sizes when i'm doing stuff behind the game window.

Thx for the info and ideas.

I'm not too concerned with how I will affect teams because I solo. I just need to be able to lock down multiple mobs and kill them without getting hit. The end drain seems to be the way I should focus the build, since without end there can't be any incoming damage. I also want to maximize the way I can hold mobs because that is paramount I think. I haven't decided yet if clap is something I will get or not. In a pinch it seems like a good way to keep mobs off when i'm waiting for recharges.

Just as an example, I tried /windowscale tray3 2.0. I logged out and on logging back in the size stayed.

The ids of the tray are:
tray1
tray2
tray3
tray4
tray5
tray6
tray7
tray8

the scale can be anywhere from .65 to 2.25, default is 1.

I also attempted to see if locking powers impacted scaling and they don't on my end. Have you tried a /wdw_load or a /window_resetall yet?

I completely avoid the AE and I don't even pay attention to broadcast at this point. I have just gone through and removed Broadcast from my chat filters. If people truly need something they will whisper me or go to /hc which i'm always watching.

Use the search tool and send people whispers who seem to have similar flags or miss interests that you do.

All servers have AE broadcast spam, I don't know of any server where you will find that doesn't. So far on Triumph, I still see a lot of ppl running mission content and asking for real mission teams in local. I see this more on blueside than redside though. Redside typically just seems to have less people than blueside in general so that may be a factor in your results.

A partial solution to this, in my opinion, is to remove AE buildings from lowbie zones. This eliminate most of the farm spam in broadcast, this will allow the newbies to enter the game in the traditional way, doing official content and getting real teams. They can then learn the game is FUN so when they finally get to a zone with an AE, they won't feel so inclined to farm it right away all the time.

As i was reading this reply I just had an idea...

Rather than remove AE from lowbie zones. Give the max lvl AE mission someone can see in that specific AE zone no higher than the intended lvl Cap for the zone. IE if someone is in Atlas AE area, give them maybe a lvl 10 cap for the AE missions they can see. If you can't cap the missions ppl can see then maybe limit the max cap that someone can attain in those zones. IE if you sidekick someone in the Atlas AE the max they can go up to is 10. Anyone over 10 in those missions gets Exemped to 10.

Thank you all for all the helpful info on tactics and the additional information. I seem to be on the path in line with what the majority of you have said, he just seems to really suck at lvl 8.

I've been slotting for damage on the primary fast skills because I did notice that end drain at this lvl doesn't do squat.

What I do have is as follows:
Elec/Elec Lv 8 Blaster Build

Didn't the rouge thing happen two weeks ago?

She was a calico. A lot like the one I have now. I wanted a cat and found out someone found an itty bitty kitty that wasn't even weened yet abandoned. I was maybe 12 or 13, so I asked my mom to go get it while I was at school. I remember running home after school to meet her. When I got home my mom was busy feeding her baby food in this big box so she had a way to clean her paws off cuz she was basically bathing in the baby food. She was so itty bitty... barely the size of my palm. she turned out to be psychotic though....but aren't all calicos.

While I was in the military, my family was having some issues and all of mine and my siblings childhood keepsakes were lost. Including a bear I'd had since I was two years old.

I don't know the specifics something about a flood or bad storage or something. So much happened while I was gone, they didn't take care of my cat, let her go wild and she ended up ran over...

There's some things that should never be lost and I'm still a bit miffed that I couldn't control the situation.

At least you were able to hold on to some of those nifty collectibles.

Now, if I could get a toon to look like a fish, I might be tempted to name it Habanero Sushi.

Reminds me of Impossible Creatures. It would be so fun to be able to make stuff like that. Or what were those figures back in the 80s Humanoid animals in tech armor...grrr I can't remember and I used to collect them.

Battle Beasts!!! Thats what they were.

I see no status bar on the options to open, that is why I was suggesting the slash commands.

I can't find quite the guide I'm looking for, so I'm asking anyone who has experience with this to help me formulate a successful toon path.

I'm working on a Hero, that is MU based in concept, an Elec/Elec Blaster with no melee. So far I've see a run down on the Primary Elect tree but all the other Dual Elec guides I've found focus on melee to augment the build.

Does anyone have any experience with a Ranged Only, with possibly the exception of Thunder Clap, Electric-Electric Blaster build?

I dunno if this happens to anyone else, i doubt its age because even as a child movement would put me to sleep or have other affects. To this day if I'm overly tired in a car, I'll fall asleep. However, I digress, on to the real comment:

Anytime in games I fall or descend from a high point and can see the ground or anything below me looming closer and closer anticipating an impact, I get the roller coaster stomach pit feeling.

status is actually tied to the menu?

Were people constantly taking lowbies before they even knew what game content there was and mass PLing them in some other manner?

Being a noob is one thing. It just doesn't seem like this was a problem concerning new people before. Wasn't it mostly just alts of ppl using the PL system?

I got it! Yay! (For those that don't, where do you think "Able to leap tall buildings with a single bound!" came from?).

I assumed thats what it was referencing but how is that a geek point when the theme says so.

well Freedom is the most populated but with high populations you get a higher concentration of people you may not enjoy playing with, just like any mmo. Virtue is the primary Roleplay server.

If you go down to the server forums you can find a good idea of what they have to offer.

With architect you get a free boster pack and the 30 days free. You can choose either the magic or cyborg pack.

With good vs evil edition you get the goodies and 30 days free, but any additional booster packs will still cost 9.99. If you plan on getting either magic or cyborg down the line, the best value is the architect.

/windowshow health should work.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've tried both /window_hide and window_show for health and got the properties for both health and status, they both show not openable or closable. I couldn't get either to hide through commands. I'm not sure show would help in the situation.

- Everyone asks everyone else for their age and you realize you're 20 years older than everyone around you.

try going to a toon that it is working on.
open the options and go to general
at the bottom of general you should see window settings
hit the Save to Default file button under window settings
Log on to the toon having problems
then type /wdw_load

see if that works.

Possibly move the whole game off of opengl and on to direct x so we dont have as many compatibility issues.

How does blizzard do it? They obviously don't code their modern games with an OpenGL graphics model yet have Mac Compatability.

[/ QUOTE ]Blizzard's engines can use either OpenGL or Direct3D on Windows, and use OpenGL on all other platforms. Direct3D is a Microsoft controlled technology, and it only appears on Microsoft-controlled environments (Windows, XBox360... not counting Wine/Transgaming's reverse engineering).

[/ QUOTE ]

In that case, I can see why porting COH to D3D only would piss ppl off since its only a windows thing.

\ key on mine opens the menu, not the status bar. I don't see a keybind anywhere for the status bar, and its set as not open or close, just scaleable.
