So we got servers (US, Europe) and we got 'dunnos' (defiant, freedom, zudunkft).

We have regions (EU/US) and Servers Defiant, Zunkuft, Freedom, etc.

Merging servers is bad IMO, merging regions would be fairly palatable.

Take up roleplaying. Suddenly you know the names and dates of these quaint, American festivals.

The devs at NCNC will get absolutely nothing done for most of next week. Thanksgiving is really pretty much bigger than Christmas, despite being a pretty recent invention, and at one point being decried as racist. Interestingly, it seems to hook up fairly well with a European (Dutch that I know of) festival which happens around December 5th. Can't help but wonder whether the Puritans took it over with them.

Anyway, America shuts down next week Wednesday and doesn't emerge until Tuesday, and then they seem to wonder why we shut down for the week over Christmas. Hey ho.

[/ QUOTE ]


Ahhh!

But many MMO's launch content patches or events just before Thanksgiving so as to keep their players interested when everything else has shut down for the week.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well WoW, LOTR & Conan all released their patches last week (although Conans Funcom are European) so they've over a week to monitor and fix any issues.

Any smaller margin than that is too risky IMO. Even a week and a half is rather close for my liking.

Or that was the plan but crying on the forums about changed PvP and last minute tweaks/bug fixes have pushed it back so now it'll be afterwards, we can't really tell

What code did you use to make the main account? If it was the same type of code that you're trying to apply then it won't let you. Same as CoH + CoH. I assume its to stop you paying for time with cheap games.

If main account was made with CoV and you're trying to add a CoV Deluxe/Collectors I 'think' that works but couldn't swear to it.

QR is a glory, but single slotted it won't hold three un-slotted toggles up that well.

People tend to massively overlook end red in their toggles because they believe it's all about damage or damage resistance or defense, or whatever. 'Secondary' slotting is ignored until high levels (and more slots), and then people wonder why they have endurance problems.

(Equally typically, people slot up their attacks for damage, neglecting accuracy and recharge because they don't understand the statistics of attacks. People often go for 'big bang for the buck' instead of actually analysing the data.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, all my resistance toggles like Temp Invul have 1 -end cost and 3 resistance, same as every other res power like that.

What I'm trying to say though is that many powersets don't come with anything to help endurance, and therefore we need something to boost recovery rather than being forced to take stamina, unless we wanna have to rest after every 1-2 groups.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well at 21 you don't have SOs and DOs are not worth much. Personally I don't slot with RES/DEF Enhancements until I hit SOs at the very lowest.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you are missing the point (or I might be missing the point)

Confront takes up space in a primary set which could have been used for something else which amplifies the primary set or compliments the rest of the attacks in the set. Group Flight and Group TP does not take up space in a primary set and thus you can't compare it.

I say again, there is an alternative to Confront if you want ... you can take provoke from the Presence Pool power, so why did the developers think it good to put in a taunt for a scrapper in the primary set.

As for your sarcasm. It isn't the topic of discussion, so what you do with it is your indaba my friend. I couldn't care less.

[/ QUOTE ]
I used Hasten merely as an example.

How about Inertial Reduction (Kin), that should be removed because you can get a better Jumpy power from Leaping pool.

Or Reconstruction (Regen) because Medicine has an Aid Self power.

Or lets remove Quickness (SR) because as we already know Hasten exists in a Pool to take instead and the SR could get another +DEF toggle.

And before you tell me that these are not identical to their poolside companions nor I will point out are the Presence set powers.

I haven't missed the point of your suggestion I just don't agree with it, you however seem to be missing my point that removing something from a main set would be a very bad step, not least for the hundreds of people who do take it, slot it and love it.

Edit:
Just to be clear though I have never taken a taunt power on anything but a tank.

To add:

I am an 8' foot tall female, with a metal exoskeleton. I can fire high power blasts from my hands, why in hells name would I need a gun? More to the point unless it was a track mounted howitzer it would be less damaging than me anyway.

[ QUOTE ]
Lost Ninja, I asked.

I didn't imply that it's a crappy power and needed to be taken out just on my account. I was simply wondering how many scrappers took taunt from primary set (seeing as it is something you can take from the pool powers).

The one in the primary set if I remember correctly is a single target taunt while provoke in the pool power is a group taunt.

So, it makes sense that you could fit something else in there, maybe something like another immob power

[/ QUOTE ]
I didn't suggest that you did. I was trying to point out that while one person may dislike or not use something that doesn't mean that the power is a waste of space, which I'm is why the devs haven't removed any of the incredibly less used powers like Group TP or Group Fly...

As most of the players in game don't frequent the forums and more than half of the people who have replied on this thread seem to like the power I think it might be an underappreciated gem rather than a waste.

Would me simple posting /unsigned have helped any more than some gentle sarcasm?

ROTFL!

And yes Dante, kin is a pretty good debuffer for those heavy targets. Good -regen, -dam, -rech and very good heals to keep melee types alive. You won't be doing much to their end, but that's not a real issue. And with all the nice buff loving you can spread kin is an overall good set in a team to bring an AV to it's knees.

Transference will keep their END full even if SB doesn't... or did you mean something else?

The END drain of Transference on some mobs will drop their entire END in only a few hits while others never twitch.

Get rid of Hasten, I don't use and TBH I can't see why anyone else would want to...

[/ QUOTE ]

I hope you're being sarcastic...

Think of those really big damage powers. You'd like them to recharge faster, wouldn't you?

Hasten + Stamina = Doesn't matter if the powers recharge quicker because with Stamina you can grow your end back like a urm...athlete.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes it was sarcasm...

Just because you don't use something doesn't mean it should be replaced by something else was really what I was trying to say.

The Rogue Isles is even more surprising. Surely *some* random guy in a trenchcoat should be handing out weapons by the handful, in exchange for cold, hard cash.

[/ QUOTE ]
Not played a villain yet who ever had any cash, they keep robbing banks but don't get any money.

Thing is they never said a merger was impossible just that they have no intention of doing it. All those people holding your breaths waiting for it, might be dead before it happens.

Well you can still buy boxed new CoV Collectors edition, so it might be worthwhile for those who want the things to buy them that way. On eBay each character was about £3, and a new set costs £5...

I think you can apply a CoV code to any account that doesn't already have it so for those who want cape/icon it might be worthwhile, its also cheaper than a months sub which is included.

edit:
ebay link

600 Million or more I'd guess.

LoTG +7.5 Recharge x2
2x5 Purple IOs @~40m/IO (recipe)
1x5 Purple IOs @~20M/IO (recipe)

Get farming.

edit: Prices are rough and based on Hero AH not villain as I don't check those prices often.

I'm rather hoping to duo* TFs once I have my fire/rads up to fifty.

*By duo I mean dual box them and solo as I'm the only one there.

Plus if there is less than 3 people there are no AVs unless you are on INV.

And that I didn't know... that will make all the difference.

Think most of mine ended up in the bin, as for the cape and logo you could gladly have mine as I don't think I ever used them Much prefer the other capes especially things added since, and not being particularly evil the Arachnos logo is not much good to me.

[/ QUOTE ]

You threw them in the bin?!

People buy those things on eBay.

[/ QUOTE ]
People buy all sorts of tat on eBay, thats their look out.

Mine sat on top of my computer for six months and got dusty, then cleared out, I ight have one or two or some stands but most will be in the great landfill in the sky by now. Which TBH is where they belong.

Possibly better in the Brute forum as thats where the Brutes hang out.

However in purely normal terms:

Don't bother slotting more than three of any type of standard IO, the fourth IO has virtually no benefit, at level 50 the third common IO has only marginal importance. You'd be better running two ACC + 2 DMG and one ACC/DMG Set IO.

Hasten if you include it wants three slots. Little point in taking it and not slotting it.

For what you have said concerning costs I find it odd you have not used any purple sets at all. Though that sai you can only slot two with this build (Melee and Ranged) You could drop Resurgence and take Web Envelope which can slot a third, that'd give you 16% Recovery, 45% Accuracy & 30% Recharge (unless my Maths Coprocessor is dead).

This is what I'd go for:

Though TBH personally I'd maximise recharge over DEF/RES but that is down to play style than actual anything important. And my WP is only a 41 scrapper and my EM is only low thirties and a stalker, so while my advice is free its not the best. Try in Brute they play this sort of thing all the time.

Tunneling/Burrowing

Actually could be done in a way with TP, change animation from strong man thing to the animation those red cap weirdos have in Croatoa, spin into ground spin out somewhere else. It'd look odd when you arrive somewhere strange like the top of a building but...

Oh and add some code like the Oruboros portal which won't let you have an exit off the ground (Target In Air). To make up for the lack of real vertical travel ala TP make the range better and give small def buff at exit for 5s or something.

Think most of mine ended up in the bin, as for the cape and logo you could gladly have mine as I don't think I ever used them Much prefer the other capes especially things added since, and not being particularly evil the Arachnos logo is not much good to me.

You should be able to add it yourself through the database view, I know I mod things so that I can the benefit of teaming. Wouldn't know how to make a whole new set though.

i want it alllll reseting back to normal i tryed that options thing and it didnt work, is there a way i can reset it or should i send a petition off to have it looked at in game?

[/ QUOTE ]
Did you try?
[ QUOTE ]
Or create a wholly new character, go into AP type /chat_save logout again and log into the character who is borked and type /chat_load. Best thing about this method is that it only resets the chat settings and not anything else.

[/ QUOTE ]
If not try that first, I know it works for me, and as I was told to do it this way to reset chat in the past (mine died shortly after i12) it should work.

1. Go into the City of Heroes root, thats where the CohUpdater.EU.exe file is found.
2. Check that there isn't a file called chat.txt, if there is delete it.
3. Start the game and create a new character.
4. Once the game is fully loaded type /chat_save in the box you type chat into and press enter.
5. Return to the main login screen.
6. Log in to the character that has broken chat tabs.
7. Now once again in the chat entry box type /chat_load and press enter.
8. While it should work immediately it might be a good idea to log out and back in with that character just to make sure the changes stick.
9. You can now delete the temporary character you made.

Notes:
<ul type="square">[*]From now on the default chat settings can be loaded at any time by typing /load_chat.[*]Whenever you make a new character they will use the chat settings from this file be default.[*]If you change your chat settings in the future you can save the new settings with /chat_save.[*]If you want different chat settings for different characters you can use /chat_save_file &lt;file name&gt; (&amp; /chat_load_file &lt;file name&gt replacing the &lt;file name&gt; with the name of the character.[*]The settings file doesn't change what Channels you are a member of.[/list]

Best to look on ParagonWiki and find out what AVs/GMs each TF has.

Dr Quarterfield (Shard TF) has no AVs/EBs/GMs so is soloable but needs 8 players to start, and finding 8 players in the shards is normally hard.

Synapse yoy have to kill the Clockwork King in the last mission, as a tank you might be able to not die by him but whether or not you can do enough damage I couldn't say.

Sewer trial - Don't think it can be done solo, you need to take down four (or more) generators at the same time.

For the rest don't know off hand but I think they all have AVs or worse.
