You're a bit off on this. Firstly, pressing the two mouse buttons does not move you to any destination - it simply moves you forward. Second, it SHOULD activate auto-run after a few seconds. That is the default setting.

Nope. It was ALL wolves the last time I did it. Unless it got changed recently....

Yep, known bug.


Been like that a long time. Better than it used to be and they continue to address it.


The term "music" only refers to the music out in the zones. Everything else is classified as a sound effect. This is working as intended.


This happens when something interferes with the emote, like another emote, a combat stance, some armor toggles used to do this. Known bug.


Then don't do it in combat. Working as intended.


Actually, you can use macros and keybinds to do costume changes WITH or WITHOUT the emotes, whichever you choose. Same thing applies to the costume change window. The emotes are always optional.


I don't have any crabs (figuratively speaking) so can't address this one.

Mutation is your origin, which has limited impact on play. Based on the powers you mention later, your powersets are Invulnerability / Fiery Melee, typically referred to as invuln/fire.


Yeah, it kind of was. In your fire set, you will have a power named Taunt. This power makes Provoke/Challenge look like trash in comparison. Make no mistake, there are good powers in the Presence pool, but a tank gets a better power than either of the first two.

As for the travel power, if you have one or both of the temporary travel powers which you can get from the Atlas Park or Kings Row Safeguard mission, then you can delay getting a 'real' travel power for a long time.

I note that you later say you're level 12. If you don't have the Zero-G Pack (temporary jump power), you can still get it. Go to Steel Canyon or Skyway City. Talk to the detective assigned to you to get a police radio, if you don't already have it. Do a few scanner missions (3, I think) and you'll be asked to talk to the detective in person to get a Safeguard mission to protect the Kings Row bank. Complete that successfully and you'll get the temporary jump pack.


Better the other way around. Temporary Invulnerability should be prioritized since it gives 30% resistance. The passives give 10% each and many people wait until later (late 20's at least) for Energies and Elements.

Unless you later decide to invest in IO sets (special enhancements - too complex to address here), you won't need more than 4 slots in Temporary Invulnerability and 2-3 in the passives (I would say just 2 early on - you'll need the slots elsewhere in the early levels).


You know, I have a level 50 fire/fire brute and can never remember which fire power is which from the names.


In the invulnerability set, you have a few key powers that you should take as early as possible: Temporary Invulnerability, Dull Pain, Unyielding, Invincibility. If you want five 'key' powers, the next one would be Tough Hide, but those first four are VITAL to any invuln tank.


There is no 'first' server. The servers are listed as follows:
1 - the last server you were on
the rest - listed in order of 'server load', with the lightest usage at the top (This will more or less equate to 'lower population'. The lowest population servers may seem a bit quiet, while the highest population ones may seem too darn crowded - there's something for everyone.)


One final suggestion: scroll further down on the first page of the forums and find the Tanker section. Plenty of the experts read all the sections, but for questions specifically about tanks, that would be the place to post.

Do you have any vacation plans, or anything else that will keep you away from CoH?

Like I said, I'm pretty sure the badge missions are listed at the bottom of each arc list. They really should be flagged in some way.

Thank for starting a thread for the explicit purpose of ragging on people.

We seem to get around mostly with teleport, anyway. I can often make really good time on the gravity geysers and, if they aren't conveniently situated, I have Teleport. Once I'm there, I have Recall Friend.

Did you try the 'Paste Special' command? When you want to paste, right-click in the cell and pick Paste Special. You have the option to paste values only, formulas only, etc. You can leave the formatting behind.

Exactly which arcs? Just about every level bracket has two 'badge missions' (which can actually be multiple missions long) which do not count as 'arcs'. I believe they are always listed as the final one or two items in the level bracket.

And yes, it would be nice if they were marked that they don't count for the challenge badges, but they aren't.

Fixed that for you.
Those loons were on invincible. They took over 2 hours longer than team two. Seriously, you might want to make an exception when you're doing the TF from Hell.

Do we know how the number of green dots is derived?

Okay, people don't save their humor for the public areas apparently. The -rep entry I described above was followed by a +rep entry with the comment "bbbbbb". I actually LOL'ed at that one.


P.S. If you're thinking about sending one with "cccccc", sorry, that's just being a copycat at this point.

I'm sorry, but I must dispute this assessment. I can summarize my argument with one word:
HAIRBALLS!

Mind you, I'm not saying I don't like cats. I love cats. I've never had any pets other than cats. They're just not perfect.

Can you smell the irony here? (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
