Can a Firetank, tank Lord Recluse unaided.

Yes/No?

[/ QUOTE ]With tough, yes, if they're very good and lucky, but it's still not pretty. And RotP'ing really isn't the tactic they'll be using.

[/ QUOTE ]

Absolutely no RotP needed or fight pool.

[/ QUOTE ]I'd love to see you tank LR with no support or Tough, I really would.

But what I'd most likely see would be death.

It's a set percentage per mob (supposed to be, at least, whether there's some way to influence it like there has been with loot drops I'm not sure of).

The amount of merits awarded per merit drop is based of the rank of the rikti, one for minions, two for lieutenants and three for bosses.

And of course, the mothership raid rikti drop merits for every person that gets rewards for them.

The Mirror's contest had over 9400 entries. The winner is from London and I'm currently checking to find out if we're allowed to reveal his name.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can you at least tell us when the Mirror are going to publish the results, if you're not allowed to post the winners?

[/ QUOTE ]Or check if the winner was a CoH player. Should be easy to match the name with the subscriber database.

[ QUOTE ]

So, given a choice between a tauntless tank and a taunting tank, with ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL.

[/ QUOTE ]But that's impossible. Not taking taunt allows the tank to have some other power in their build.

Another Mind Dom with the exact same build.

[ QUOTE ]

Personally, I find my regen is more or less fire-and-forget.

[/ QUOTE ]Still? I mean, sure it was before the nerfs, but now that we have four clicky powers that boost our survivability I find it to be a very reaction-based set.

[ QUOTE ]

Rikti start at around 5-6 (technically ), but Nemesis soldiers aren't seen until much later.

[/ QUOTE ]Actually, the first of Nemesis' creations (even if you don't include the ones you're referring to, since they're due to his influence as well) start at the same time.

It does add to the "armed to the teeth" (pun intended) appeal though. My soldier is certainly going for crab while taking most of the attacks from wolf, although I am taking a few crab attacks as well for maximum AoE goodness.

[ QUOTE ]
I say the Costume Creator is coming out (oo-er) in offline mode

[/ QUOTE ]Not going to happen, mainly due to legal reasons.

[ QUOTE ]
Rofl. Is this thread STILL going on? I really cba to read through all that has been posted since my previous one. And I hardly see the point in this continuing.


[/ QUOTE ]You're new here, aren't you?

We're only on page 2 now, taunt threads tend to go on far longer than that.

If you don't mind having the claws at your back, I'd go for Wolf/Crab. Just keep the gun attacks from wolf, and grab Aim, the whole secondary and Omega Maneuver from crab.

Or you could go with bane powers like described in the linked guide.

And yeah, wolf spiders are pretty awesome.

Ghost Slaying Axe misses half the time due to the undead using dark powers with -acc!

[/ QUOTE ]
How... Shocking.
Could it be because its -acc?

[/ QUOTE ]Unlikely, because there's not a single power in the game that does -acc

Actually, the US servers got an upgrade not too long ago, so are now a little higher specced than ours. The problem, though, isn't the actual servers themselves. I've always suspected the netcode the game uses isn't that efficient, and it's known that the internet infrastructure, at least between the UK and Germany where the datacentre is located, sucks big time. So the problem is likely a combination of iffy netcode, and [censored] network.

[/ QUOTE ]This problem isn't between the UK and Germany though, because it also applies to those of us outside the UK, and on the US servers as well.

[ QUOTE ]

Perhaps one should consider not WHY TAKE TAUNT?, but WHY NOT?


[/ QUOTE ]Because every single power in my build is more useful than it, and there are still several other powers that would be, but don't fit in.

As for taunting far-away mobs off squishies, I've found that a fire ball in the face does the job quite well.

One type of lag I did notice a couple of time during the weekend was loading screen lag; that usually zips by in a few seconds for me, even for large zones, but there were a couple of instances on Saturday where it took several minutes just to enter a misson. It did seem to hit the whole team, although some more than others.

[/ QUOTE ]Was the holdup during the actual loading process, or at the very start before the bar was moving? If it's the latter, it's usually (AFAIK) because the shard is unable to find a mapserver for you. Which is understandably quite common on DXP weekends.

[ QUOTE ]

Fix and cause.

[/ QUOTE ]Well, that's fairly nice.

It would be good if they could increase the capacity of the servers to handle such things though, because it does occur at times in other missions as well. AoE knockback especially tends to cause it (at least, when the mapserver is busy in general), due to mob ragdoll.

[ QUOTE ]

Played in the GoEH SG team on Sat morning, got from 35(or 36 maybe) to 39

[/ QUOTE ]This.

Also, got my Wolf Spider/Crab Spider from 2 to 32.

Just look at the Roman TF. the 3rd mission has so many patrols, mobs and etc. it's super laggy doing nothing. And the netgraph shows no network lag there.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well that's graphics lag then, which is your local machine, so nothing to do with the servers either...


[/ QUOTE ]Nah, there's no FPS drop. I'm not sure whether it's a problem with the server not keeping up, or a bandwidth problem in the datacenter that for some reason doesn't show on the netgraph, but it's definitely not client-side.

[ QUOTE ]

PS: Incase people missed it, NC was weird that it accepted Maestro in the first place.

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, it's pretty weird of a company to want money from their customers all right.

based on mission owner's AT, body type, powersets and origin

[/ QUOTE ]Definitely don't want. Content like that will either assume too much (For example, see origin of power arc), or not be noticeable at all.

Would work for badges and souveneirs though.

It would be like trying to argue the Contaminated, Infected, Luddites, Goldbrickers, Arachnoids, Dockworkers, Scrapyarders, Cage Consortium Guards, Wailers, Prisoners or Spetsnaz deserve more content, when basically all of those factions already fulfil the niches they were created for.

[/ QUOTE ]Well, you could probably get something more Luddites. And I don't thing we see King Midas in the game either.

[/ QUOTE ]

Except as a Contact? In a car made entirely out of gold...

[/ QUOTE ]I don't recall there being anything in-game saying Golden Roller is Midas.
