first of all, Cryptman you better state time and date for your TFs.

For tonight i am also available with two heroes:

Feywild WP/Stone Tanker lvl 25
Dusk Howler Sonic/Dev Blaster lvl 25

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

After 15 months of residency in Paragon City finally Psy-knight will hit the big 50. As most of us, i had a dream for him to hit big 50 in Statesman TF. We barely managed to do that but thanks to power lines i dropped even before starting that event yesterday.

So on Wednesday evening, starting from 20:00 BST i want to try that again.

You know there is no need to make a post for that, you can start a team in game too. But i just wanted to share that special moment with some friends (yeah i am big old softie ).

Anyway as regular if you want to join please leave your Character name, AT, level and global handle.

Highest Regards,
Knightly

I wouldn't put them many slots in entangling arrow.

I'd also consider putting a Achilles-Res proc in Oil Arrow.

Yup slots on EA seems a bit high for a power i barely use but i was after +Recharge global bonus. (After Psy-knight's nearly perma AM + Hasten everything seems so slow )

As he is still lvl 12 that means slotting will change in future and i will take your advices in considiration when slotting that powers.

First of all i am really sorry for my weird leave. There was some problem with power lines of my location. We lived without electricity nearly a full day (except 2 hours when i tried to roll TF but without a chance).

As this weekend is DXP weekend we won't team up. See you next week and stay safe.

As we couldn't make this one, even the Statesman TF we intended laters thanks to our power lines (don't worry they are alright now... i hope) i want to thank Velinia for showing up for both events.

For others, don't worry guys you didn't miss something. We will do it another time.

I don't know about what the Lupin is (with a simple guess, Master Minds now getting werewolf pets ) but i think "Let's you pick from all" part pointing choosing from any AT no matter if you will create a villian or a hero so you can easily go rogue or seek redemption.

(Acutally i was more thingking about getting any powers like CO intending to do but then slapped my head, now i am back to normal)

As i don't want to start flames or disturbance in forums community let me leave it at that: your reason to report that name is wrong.

As Lord Frantix's regular Sunday morning TF attempt kinda failed (well we completed Statesman TF but he didn't show up) i decided to see another one of the TFs i didn't attend.

Here is the details:

IMPERIOUS TASK FORCE
Contact Imperious
Zone Cimerora
Minimum Size 6 players
Level Range 35-50

As all of you know you must become a Midnighter Member to enter Cimerora. There ain't any other requirements i am aware. As a newbie in this one and as i heard it is pretty tough people with experience are welcomed.

Everyone knows by now but here is my hero anyway:

Psy-knight lvl 47 Mind/Rad/was fire but will be Earth Controller. (As i will choose a new epic pool for Psy, this will be a good try i think)

Hope to see you there;
Knightly

PS: If there ain't enough replies to this thread you probably won't find me by contact but you can reach me from my global @Knightly, as best thing to do in these hell-hot summer days is playing CoH in my home's comfy, i will be around.

I don't know if this has been suggested before but i vaugely remember something like that on this boards.

Anyway this kinda thing is what i am missing most about DDO. Other than a search panel a social panel where you can advertise your mission (or better you can input a search comment with a game like Coh where missions spawn in different doors unlike DDO's stable quest enterances) and required ATs will be good. But on the other hand some ATs especially non healing defenders can take it a bit offensive as for much of the player base Defender = Healer.

Also i heard there are a possibility of Matchmaker system as my friend recalls it. Which will probably do what you are asking for.

Are we all okay for this weekend? If i recall correctly Jay and Spirit won't be around this time.

Anyway if there won't be any teaming and any willing members i will be leveling up my new blaster on Union. If you want to see Union Side action feel free to drop by.

Cheers and Have a nice weekend,
Knightly

Hmmm here is some names i used to use but not on live servers anymore and i will not likey do them again.

Desert Marauder:
BS/WP scrapper (as arabian scimitar tho)

Bubble Pop Electric:
FF/Elec defender named after a Gwen Stefani song.

Paragon Belle :
A frozen in time and re awaken woman who had a crush on Statesman. With her 30's like outfit and AR she was a nice looking blaster.

Devil's Chant:
Originally he was my first Sonic/Elec blaster who hit the lvl 20. Thinking now it is more close to a Sonic/Dark or Dark/Sonic or Fire/Sonic troller/defender.

Grasshooper Boy and Toxic Roach:
My two early days beetle themed heroes (even way before the insect wings and all that bug boys around). As you can guess Grasshooper Boy was a MA/something scrapper with SJ. Toxic Roach was a Rad/Rad defender.

Lone Crane:
Hot looking female martial artist now in the depths of mental garbage. Even tho my current scrapper is a MA/WP her name is Lady Gravestrike and has more nice background story.

Canadian Storm:
Storm/Ice defender try. If you are into Canadians like me nice to play with one. (I hope this ain't sound as kinky as i think )

Godess of Love:
My first ever Mind/* troller.

And lastly a name i can't make a hero to fit available on the Union server as i write this post: Elemental Chaos.

I know there is a player (at least his nick in forums something like that) in US soils.

Actually list can go on and on as i make at least 2 new heroes each day and delete them. I will drop by and serve you another names if i remember somethings good.

While i was trying to change my Psy-ranger from Mind/TA to TA/Psi i realized that i can make a controller like defender with good damage and more stronger debuffs.

I go with TA/Ice for 2 more holds and good damage. I am thinking now that maybe a TA/Sonic will be another good controller like defender with a good plus, energy damage from sonic powers (especially a cone with good range like Howl) make you ignite Oil Slick Arrow maybe???

Here is the build if you have any advices as i don't have any high level TA defender or controller.

Also if you can compare secondaries for more controlling options with TA and if my choice is a good one, i will be grateful.

Thanks for your concern.

Knightly

PS: Don't mind the sets in slots. They can be very high on influence but i have 5 heroes (a cure to my altisis) which i will make perfect in time.

Hmmm i knew i forgot something. Anyway have fun out there.

I believe what Golden Girl keep saying is true. You can't leave this game when you get a hang of it. You'll eventually come back and taste this unique atmosphere.

I left CoH after nine months? Not totally left tho, kept my sub up but barely played. But everytime i stepped into servers my friends instantly greeted me with warm wellcome backs. As much as some immature community was cause of my leave, friends was the ones who kept me tied to this game. Even on my DDO days, on my favorite raid i found myself wishing my friends from CoH were there to enjoy and help to take down that nasty red dragon, Velah.(Heh luckily we have a similiar challange in CoH now, Statesman TF. Even if we fail it feels so good to take down that challanging AVs. Still need to see Imperious one tho.)

I am not a MMO player. I played CoH, DDO and if you count 2 days of WoW, WoW. No other game has special feeling CoH has. When you created a hero in CoH it is totally yours. No hero looks like another, everyone unique even with same power sets. That creates a special connection between player and character.

Thanks to community both in game and forums there are many special things to do in this game. Task Forces, Themed Teams, Cossie comps, Special events or just simply helping young ones by following the foot steps of other veterans (Even the Mother's Love is the first example everyone of us think, there was a tanker who helped one of my lowbie character with taunting villians in Atlas which i am doing from time to time whenever i came across one in trouble with my tankers)

In the end this game has a unique place in all the MMOs in the market i believe. Only one thing i really wish to see in CoH is something like the Social Panel of DDO so teaming will be much way to easier (please don't get me wrong i never have a hard time to get into teams as my heroes can solo but having tells for an invite when you are in a full team is really upseting me)

Long Live CoH (and CoV even i don't venture into ways of evil. My highest villian ever is still lvl 7 )

The problem is how much of the sources will become open ones. I mean can players will be able to create their own custom weapons, clothings, hair styles, map textures, items and vechiles.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think we'll be given anything other than what's in game already. Too much data to take from one person and then send to everyone else.



[/ QUOTE ]

If we are talking some vault like NWN vault people contribute with different things. Some made scripts while others did models for everyone to use. In the end there were many beautiful things (heh we even had horses way much before Bioware release them in their last NWN module) done.

I am afraid and also hope there will be many improvements to the game this way that devs claimed can't be done because of time/financial issues. Even new power sets.

But you are right about downloading issues, they take time. Luckily most of the modules will probably use same hak packs.

*Sigh* After that much talking i have an urge to play some NWN modules now.

Here's a linky for others who wants to take look at NWN Vault. (Heh this is also a custom portrait made by my very own self )

NWN Vault

You can look what they got, this link only leads to Portraits section of the Vault. Use right side column to see other sections.

Hmmm i think i am dreaming something like NWN builder in my head.

The problem is how much of the sources will become open ones. I mean can players will be able to create their own custom weapons, clothings, hair styles, map textures, items and vechiles.

Other than those i really want to hear some sound on mission briefings. ^^ Maybe this player build maps will be the end of Mute NPCs.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Praf Sir.

Hope your day will be enjoyable as the rest of your life.

That was a real blast guys. Thanks to everyone who joined that awesome teamage.

You can continue leveling your blaster mate if you can convince Jay to continue as a tanker.

Heh i made two boring ATs but to be honest in our team both are very nice to play. (Even i love Radiation Emission it is a pain to play solo, Pace of the Turtle leveling)

Oh and forgive my dumb brain i really messed up with days. This friday is 11th, not Double XP weekend but the date i can get my 15 months veteran rewards: Wings. So we can team this weekend too.

Ramon started another thread for another concept team. As i said already before our team is full with 8 people at the moment and there ain't any other answers for a second team.

So as Ramon handled this case in his own way i decided to continue with existing team. If we'll have a place open in future we will be happy to see you in team. Keep your eyes on this thread for future posts.

Cheers,
Knightly

You say regeneration is possible though? Would that really be considered as a natural ability?

[/ QUOTE ] Think of it this way, when you get scratched by a thorn bush, or when you get a papercut, etc... your body heals (regenerates) the effected area. Sure I appreciate this type of regen is slow, but it's definitely a natural ability.

As to teaming, unfortunately the time is no good for me. However, I already have a MA/WP natural scrapper (lvl 18) with no travel powers... that could help in the future.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am sure what you mentioned is natural regen of HP and End in game all characters have. A Regeneration as a Scrapper secondary is a bit of a super power (or mutant power in Wolverine and Sabertooth case )

Hmmm Wednesday nights seems nice.

Instead of a bubbler i will go for Kinetic/Psy-Nrg-Archery or Storm/Nrg-Ice-Rad. Let me know which one ain't covered yet. If you really need a bubbler i can try it tho.

But i have only one request: No Ice Shields on me. (I hate that shields, no matter how much they protect me i prefer dying instead of looking stupid inside a block of ice. Also i like to see my cossie which i spend times to create a good looking one )

Okay as things are back on track we can talk about our Saturday evening.

As you know our two members were missing last week and we are at lvl 15. So i suggest to enter Positron TF. Next week we will continue with Skyway bank mission and finally we can start Faultline Arc (another Nocturne kicking will be nice).

Objections?

Cheers,
Knightly

Rules:
must be natural in origin
powersets are limited to purely natural or technical abilities



[/ QUOTE ]

First of all let me say it is nice to see you are starting that team.

For concept if you want only natural origin well there are alien races whose have natural powers like Krypton people (or whatever they called, Superman's race), Skrulls, Wraiths and many other races. So all power sets can be used; if you only want humans with natural like abilities (which i can't count regen as one, Super Reflexes is tho) you must say it.

Also i think one of the problems is AVs and GMs. I never faced an AV or GM with a TA defender/controller as a sole debuffer so i can't say much about its potential in that situation. Also Medicine pool can be so slow and inefficient in such a situation. Plus no mez protection or buffs to increase your relatively easily resisted damage (as most of your damage will be Lethal/Smashing). So accepting alien races can be a good option.

Anyway for me Natural origin is simply boring, i have one very misfortunate one in Union just for the sake of having all ATs and Origins: a BS/WP scrapper (my least playable AT and least liked origin (hmm maybe coupled with Technology))

So good luck to you all, it will be hard but fun event i guess.

I wish i can say something about it. As far as i know only willing ones are Me, You, Phantoms and Jay for a friday team.

As i know Jay confirmed he is available on most of Fridays maybe we could start a team with another concept (All magic or All controller for example)to gain more players. (Heh maybe i should start it on Union where i can find more players to join)

But for now i am just waiting for answers but also i am aware that clock it ticking. I doubt a second team has an opportunity to catch first one like this but we will see.
