    Hmmm...I dont see it archived and the only other GR info from September is the one from gamespy...a totally different interview.
  2. It's kinda sad that there aren't any news updates regaring CoX like there used to be (I can't tell if it's just the lack of news or just that the new forums just suck, and you cant find anything in it.)

    Anyways I found this....for anyone who hasn't read it yet, since I haven't seen it referenced on the forums.

    http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/74507

    note to marketing/pr/devs.....any news about the future of the game would be much appreciated...a tidbit here or there, a riddle we need to solve, teaser, one-liner....anything...i'm dying here.

    did you have a winters gift and how much global rech did you have with the toon you fought the cold with.

    2) If anyone has a build for Cold, could you share because i'm new to the set? Thanks in advance.
    I dunno if it's me...but I just can't get this build to work "well" within the new pvp. The effectiveness to slow movement speed and -rech just aren't what they used to be and played a large role in it's survivability. Another thing is the inability to get a good combination of a self heal, perception, phase (phase or hiber) power, and enough kb protection.

    Everything I've played against seems to do more damage then it can dish out, so it feels like i'm constantly playing defensive.

    I'd like to know what your build end's up being....

    Say you have a level 49 villain, and convert it to being a hero, then level it up to 50.
    Would that unlock the Kheldians, or the arachnos soldiers?

    Since this is an expansion.....im going to guess you're going to need a 50 to play GR.

    P.S. This is not present in the Live client yet, as the Mac patch hasn't been published from the Training Room yet.
    My mouse coordinates are constantly resetting on Live =(...unplayable.

    Let's try and hit multiple other possibilities at once:

    Start up in Safe Mode first to see if anything loaded at startup may be causing problems:

    1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
    2. Press the power button.
    3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
    4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).

    Then try to launch CoH Test Server client again and see if it works. If it does, then something being loaded at startup is causing a problem with CoH.

    After that, restart again normally (no shift key) to load everything normally again.

    If that doesn't work, try typing this in Terminal: "dscacheutil -flushcache" - and then also launch Safari, and select Empty Cache from the application menu.

    And if all the above fail: There is a rare issue with Transgaming's Cider that can produce that specific error (in your console log, the one about 'macdrv') on very specific versions of MacOS (10.5.7/10.5.8), only on Macbooks. You might have better luck with Snow Leopard instead. In fact, if the bug isn't fixed before Live date, I'll probably start recommending Snow Leopard with it just because of the possibility of that happening, since it's such a pain to track down.
    It's sad that I havent heard from support.

    Anyways looks like my problem is solved. I dunno how. i did another fresh install, trash the preferences folder, flush dns and reboot.

    When double click on the app in applications the icon appears in the dock, and thats it. When you click on it, it says Application Not Responding and I have to force quit. The updater never shows up at all. Again, was working fine until that last patch. I have even tried installing test server a couple times now...

  16. I suddenly can not get my test server to run the last build on 10.5.8....Always get application not responding.

    2. What made you assume I'd want Darkest Night?
    3. Why slotting Stamina THAT much?
    4. Why not take Electron Haze when it is a rather good power?

    All in one, I'm rather excited at seeing this build, and the very, VERY strong bonuses the build offers; what deeds can this build help with? (i.e. soloing AVs etc.)
    If you neglect howling twilight and the procability of nuetrino bolt to make a buzzsaw type build, i dont think soloing av's is possible with that build.

    Another recommendation could be the use of Natural Response Mechanics (NRMs) as opposed to artifical ones (ARMs) like Travel Suppression. For example, a natural response to super speed, flight, and so on would be the lessening of accuracy. In this model, the faster you go, the more difficult it is for you to accurately target. The outcome, then, becomes natural: If you want to fight well, you slow down. Subsequently, an indirect response later becomes less people choosing the power, but not entirely discarding it as an option.
    Didnt the player base complain about this and put Travel Supression in it's place?

    if no psi blaster try your fire/em (build the right way) and a mind/thermal troller or a sonic/thermal Curr

    or a mind/fire dom and a earth/Narg dom.

    Stalker and Earth/narg dom is a nice combo.
    2 v 2? i wouldnt mind seeing 2 competent properly built rad/darks fight those combinations.

    Plus its "bugged". Well, the damage is delays so most people without great regen really hate you, because once they know they need to heal 3 more attacks just hit them. At least I heard that was bugged.

    And Psy because even with the new resists for all its still the least resisted.
    not psy...cuz you wont have aim.

    The heal is one of the big reasons. My defenders heal is like close to 800 when PB'd.

    Other things that have contributed to the rise of dark.

    - Offensive Toggle Drops - Before if you were dark, and if you were RI'd there was pretty much no way of getting those toggles off you.
    - No More Toggle dropping - Now that you dont have to constantly toggle up powers like shadowfall, acro, tactics, epic shield, you can focus on healing yourself instead of retoggling.
    - DRs effect on Tohit was greater than DR's effect on TohitDebuff
    - Winter's Gift - dark was always penalized because of no slow protection...now you can get some...enough that if you are slowed by HL....your great heal will come back.
    - IO sets.

    I'd also give a nod to Dark/Ice. Oh how things have changed, but people are still blind and lol at dark.

    I've dueled what I thought was a good sonic/rad and was still able to win. How ever I think in a map were its a little harder for me to move around he might of been able to even up the score.

    I'm not sure how taking Dark debuffs off of me is going to be any harder then taking Rad debuffs off. I've also tested my earth/rad troller with Power boosted debuffs and BU+AIM was all I needed to shed them. When BU+AIM was not there I just needed one yellow.

    But I'd be interested to see if there's truth behind what your saying. But I fear BU+AIM+Will Dom slotted with Placate proc will end this dispute.

    This isnt about getting hit or not. This is about being capable of beating a build 9/10 or even 10/10. The two most constantly used tohitdebuffs, for dark, in a duel, arent toggles so not sure what you are referring to by "Taking them Off". The third one yes is a toggle. but sometimes theres just no point in putting it up until you know there is a good cycle of debuffs up.
