Ironically the first thing that happens when the Rikti invade a zone is they switch off the War Walls.

So they work well

[/ QUOTE ]They used to, until Rikti found a way to turn them off. Which means they're quite unnecessary now, and may get removed eventually.

[ QUOTE ]

And so are the Villains who accept them.

[/ QUOTE ]We do try our best.

I never use loyalty cards, particularly from supermarkets, for one simple reason. Tesco and Sainsbury don't give loyalty bonuses to make you buy groceries from them and not their rivals. They give loyalty bonuses to encourage you to continually use your loyalty card so they can collect more and more data about your spending habits so they can target you more effectively. They probably know more about your day to day routine than you do.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, just think about it, they might actually advertise something you'd actually be interested in to you. The horror.

[ QUOTE ]
So, I thought I'd let you all know that next week we'll (Palladium, Kerensky, Avatea and myself) all be heading over to visit NCNC for a wonderful week of meetings and discussions and suchlike.


[/ QUOTE ]If I was a cynical person I'd comment on how this makes it seem like you're never communicating with them normally.

But fortunately I'm not

Helmets are fine, and kinda expected. The temp power reward is pretty bad, especially since they implemented the origin damage bonus to the wand and staff, so unless you're natural the only real option is to pick the one of SoM/Axe that you don't have yet.

[ QUOTE ]

And its rubbish YOU say so? or just because its not the perfect tanking spec, although you raise a valid point. NOT to post my specs on the forums or ask for advice, because people insist on telling others how to play.

[/ QUOTE ]I personally wasn't criticizing your build, but rather your reasoning for taking those two powers.

[ QUOTE ]

The WHirlwind was taken as a breather, coz if they are flying round the room, they are not hitting me.

Flurry rather than hasten because I have to have something to do while my AoEs are aggroing everything!

[/ QUOTE ]Current version of Whirlwind = Scatter, scatter, scatter = Inefficiency. Besides, if you're teamed with a controller, you really have no need for it.

Hasten would allow other attack powers to recharge faster, thus negating the need for flurry. Besides, as a fire tank you want healing flames to be up as often as possible, thus making +recharge really desirable.

[ QUOTE ]

Psionic Tornado (Controller Epic) does knockup but on low mobs (green/grey) it often wends them flying backward (outward) as well, so knockup can be knockback as well. Higer mobs often just get knocked down so it can also be knockdown.

[/ QUOTE ]Post-ragdoll, knockup causes the mobs to move in a random direction as well. Which made knockup far less desirable as crowd control.

Of course, the best knockup power in the game was changed to knockback anyways, so it's not that bad a nerf.

Hmm, OP is a tank, why in hell do even want a stealth power?

[/ QUOTE ]What a stupid comment!!!

This is the type of stereotypical thing that really bugs me! If a Tank wants a stealth power or +stealth enhancement, then that's up to them. Just because someone wishes to take a different option, and doesn't comform to what 95% of others do, then that's up to them, surely? If we all played ATs the same well, it would be very boring!

[/ QUOTE ]
I still don't see why an agro magnet would want a stealth power but if you do the stealth pool would give you more bang for your buck IMO. (Set bonuses excluded of course.)

[/ QUOTE ]Why on earth would you waste powers for stealth when you can have invisibility with just superspeed and a stealth IO?

[ QUOTE ]
Those america cars guzzle to much gasoline anyway

[/ QUOTE ]Since when is Toyota American?

[ QUOTE ]
It changes?

[/ QUOTE ]The first one does at least, the others apparently don't.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not so sure the badge description matters these days - no other character will know if you've taken a respec; and besides - taking one doesn't necessarily mean you're going to use it, so the badge text becomes moot already.


[/ QUOTE ]The badge text actually changed depending on whether you've used that respec or not.

[ QUOTE ]
But PvP zones have their rewards, double exp on missions in them, Badges, Temp Powers, etc. and so to complete the required tasks I must also accept the consequences.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Double XP for PvP zone mishes was removed several issues ago

[/ QUOTE ]The double XP mission bonus (not that that's anything huge, most XP comes from mobs anyways if you can't ghost a mission) was set to only be granted once within 30 minutes.

[ QUOTE ]

So many people with /blinkers on. Are you not prepared to face the fact that CoH desperately needs to change if it's to compare with other games (*gasp* I said, "other games"! *oh noes*) which are the product of the evolution of the genre?


[/ QUOTE ]Do you not realise that with a completely crowd-control focused class, CoH actually innovated from the MMO standard? Besides, something so fundamental can't be changed once the game's gone live, unless you want to face an NGE-class disaster.

There's also the fact to consider that with some TF's the level of the last mission is actually one level lower than the cap for the TF. So a L50 character doing such a TF on heroic/villainous would receive a L49 recipe.

With regards using PayPal for subscriptions, we can't currently offer this as PayPal is not compatible with the recurring billing system.

[/ QUOTE ]

Further to this, we're continuing to investigate alternative payment means for subscriptions.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think it was Eve who used to take my sub from Paypal, or one of the other MMOs I tried at some point (don't worry never let my subs from here drop just went inactive) and I found it a great way to pay. I'd certainly move to it if it became an option here

[/ QUOTE ]I'm fairly sure DDO or LotRO offered it. Or possibly both, since they have the same publisher.

[ QUOTE ]

Based on the vid we saw I would have put him as an Electric Blast/Katana blaster myself.

[/ QUOTE ]Katana scrapper with energy damage procs slotted.

Although didn't he also have a gun in the vid, or is my memory deceiving me?

Standing next to Ms. Liberty in Atlas, before that became a popular way to do it.

[ QUOTE ]

Ah...a natural origin contact, so no wonder i never found out lol, i always pick sci or mutant origin

[/ QUOTE ]Any (non-zone arc) contact in the level range will give out the security chief missions.

[ QUOTE ]

When I tried to run CoH it seems to want to reinstall the game. It complains that it can't delete/rename certain files even though the new profile has administrator privileges.

What should I do?

[/ QUOTE ]Make sure the folder isn't set to read-only.

[ QUOTE ]
well, for what i understand, if you're hit by someone with Caltrops, you're considered being in combat, which will slow you down anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]Being hit doesn't suppress travel powers, attacking does.

[ QUOTE ]
Every /unsign is a vote against PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]Just learn to play/understand game design.

[ QUOTE ]
I figure it's probably just damage that wakes mobs from sleep/fear, but I'm not positive if anything else is flagged to do it as well.

[/ QUOTE ]Knockback/up and healing do at least.

[ QUOTE ]
tho could one version could have slow resist and the other no slow resist in the same way that SS in PvE has stealth and in PvP it dose not?

[/ QUOTE ]It has stealth against non-player targets. But, as stated, slow resistance can't be target based.

[ QUOTE ]
I can't think of any zero damage immobilises (or stuns, for that matter).


[/ QUOTE ]Web grenade and dark pit, just to name one of each.
