My main character back in my EQ days was a Barbarian shaman named Jalia McMarrin. I've recreated her as a defender in CoH.

Quote:Well I know it was a joke but honestly, the short-lived AC2 had options for graphic violence (lots of blood) and cartoon violence (Bam! Pow! balloons for impact). They were completely client-side of course, other people saw whatever they were set for... but it would be a lot of fun for a comic based game. ^_^Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Actually, I think we could see that as a graphics option sometime

The Azuria Task Force -- 30 missions featuring virtually every villain group in the game, all of them stealthable since each involves retrieving a lost item (clicking on an object).
The Herb, That Guy From Accounting Task Force: "I have a sad tale to tell to you, brave heroes. In 1987 I made a grave error -- I made a serious miscaculation in my company's tax audits that resulted a net loss of over 3,000 dollars on the final balance sheets. I discovered the error last year while checking my past audits to pass the time, and I haven't had a good night's sleep since. I need you to go back in time and fix that error...."
The City Trash Collector Costume Pack (complete with "Hey, lookit what someone's throwing away!" emote).
The Fairy Godmother Costume Pack (with magic wand emote that transforms the intended target into a beautiful princess until the stroke of Midnight). -
I like doing sewer runs once in a while, but mostly the 1-20 game does not excite me and I'm likely to PL myself through it because I can (yay for 2 accounts).
22+ is fun, 32+ is extra fun. -
Pegleg Martial Arts.

Just FYI, Vidiomaps this morning is infected with a similar virus.

Given that I'm West Coast and have some errands to run after work, I'm not going to be home by 4 PM. Sorry about that, you guys have fun!

I didn't see anyone doing any Knives characters, and it seemed like you'd be able to pull one off without too much trouble, so I tried it:
Not sure if I'm 100% happy with the look yet but it's not far off. I made a claws scrapper (with wrist blades) first, then decided that it HAD to be a stalker (duh, of course). Maybe a character I can use for GR. Also, I decided to do a bit of a tribute to Major Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell:
The idea is an elite Knives of Artemis cyber-operative/assassin who's left the group and gone freelance (and possibly even crosses to the side of the law).
Needs more work though, and probably a better name. -

See, they could buff MA a little but if Blue Steel got any stronger it might break reality...

Quote:Actually... there are a few things. Hami raids are for levels 45-50 only. These and Rikti Mothership raids are the only regular multi-team raid events like you might commonly see in other games. Rikti invasions, zombie invasions, "Supernatural Activity" banner invasions, and giant monster fights are the only other things I can think of that might involve multiple groups (and especially Lusca the giant octopus which kind of requires a mini-raid to take down).Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
In City of Heroes, there is a lot of content from 1 to 50, but there is actually nothing that is specifically "level 50s only" (yet). So take your time and enjoy the ride.
There are some task forces that are for levels 45-50 as well... but the main point is, you don't get to 50 and then spend the rest of your life raiding like in many other MMOs. On the other hand, at 50 all parts of the game are open to you. You can run any task force, join any mission team, run nearly any mission solo through Ourobos... and while you aren't constantly upgrading your gear, you can work towards perfecting your build with IOs and work towards badges and accolades. It's not that there's nothing to do at level 50, there's plenty that you can do.
With all the people talking about journey not destination, I'm not sure if anyone answered the underlying question, but there is NO level grinding in this game. Leveling is easy at any level. Grinding for influence or badges or recipe drops, on the other hand, is up to you... but you can get to 50 first. ^_^ -
Quote:This happens to me when I'm working over a build in Mids too. The problem is that your six slots left are lower-level slots so they're only available for powers at or below the level of the slot. It's annoying.Originally Posted by Postagulous
The unslotted six is due to Mids making each slot attached to that level, so I placed and removed slots until I jumbled it up so the six can't be added.
Short of starting over, the only solution is to carefully shift slots one at a time. I do this by finding the lowest level power that I can add another slot to. The slot should appear to the left of any higher-level slots. Then you remove the IO from the slot furthest right, and replace it in the slot you just added. Then you can remove the slot on the right, and your free slot has been converted into a higher-level slot that can be placed further up the level chart.
You may have to do this sort of thing multiple times to sufficiently free up your six slots so that you can place them where you want them.
If you're looking for recharge, Doctored Wounds are still a relatively cheap set, despite their popularity, and especially if you slot below level 50. Although I can understand slotting 2-3 Numina's for Willpower, the extra regen and hit points are nice. My WP scrappers are mostly slotted with Numina's.Quote:The goal is speed of attack and speed of regeneration. I'm depending on Divine Avalanche as my main damage mitigation, and it sure is working well now. I am very impressed with this toon.
I like Fury's build though. ^_^ -

This is the stupidest idea I have ever seen, and I have seen some pretty stupid ideas in my time. I seriously want to post point-by-point rebuttals to prove how stupid your idea is, but it's not even worth the effort. Please stop advertising your crappy SG that nobody is going to join here. I'm not even trolling.

TopDoc got to 50 with a defender in the Iron Eagles (Justice hardcore SG). Our group was pretty restrictive, although not quite as much as this concept. I believe he mostly PuG'd also.
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...=hardcore+debt
Original group was started by Catwhoorg, that was the group that Topdoc was a part of (and got to 35, sounds like he mostly solo'd up to that point). When Smurphy wanted to start a similar group we "took over" the Iron Eagles and ran it by his own (more restrictive) rules. That's when Topdoc took his character to 50.
As noted, these groups can lose steam quickly, and Smurph's version of the Iron Eagles are pretty much not active right now. But I do believe we had a few people who were in the high 20's and low to mid 30's without dying. My third toon was a Peacebringer that I had gotten up to 19 or 20 and is still in the SG and not dead yet. ^_^ -
Quote:I took a ton of screenshots for each character... basically ran a council radio mission for each set for 6-8 people and kept swinging the camera angle around and hitting print screen. I had to work hard to not just pick out an Eagle's Claw screenshot for each character and call it good. ^_^Originally Posted by Sailboat
Eagle's Claw makes for great screenshots.
Shinobu's main costume has rocket boots actually (that's why they're mentioned in her bio). Never tried a pegleg MA before, but the idea itself amuses me. I might have to swap a costume out temporarily just to try that. ^_^Quote:Sister Power (using the old Super Reflexes graphics) makes her stand against the Malta Group. Note the platform go-go boots...one of the fun things to do with MA is to use costume options to make the foot look more weapon-like. Beast claws, hooves, platforms, oversized boots, a peg leg, robot legs, rocket boots...all kinds of fun stuff with which to kick people in the face. It's like weapon customization for MA!
I should use platform boots somewhere too. As you might have noticed I'm a bit overly fond of the kickass schoolgirl look. Kinda like Josh Whedon I guess. -
As I noted in the Market channel, I was the beneficiary of a 90 million bid on an item that was selling steadily for me for 9 million a pop.
But on the whole I think I would have preferred to pick up a Regen Tissue unique for 35,000. ^_^
Makes you wonder who has a bid in for that low though. Hopefully someone who could never afford it otherwise, and will put it to good use. -
I'd be up for that, on either Virtue or Freedom. (Well... in February I could travel for it too of course.)

(And yes, Tiffany is not a lot different than Shinobu, and Jalia is not much different from Tiffany... Shinobu has been one of my favorite characters to play so I kinda cloned her once or twice. ^_^ ) -
I now have four high level martial arts scrappers. I present them to you, along with a pictorial argument for why martial arts is one of the coolest sets in the game:

In the past you had to get 7 fillers to run a mission set for 8. I never engaged in the practice.
Today I can do that any time I want. In fact, I have to go talk to someone to AVOID doing that when solo. ^_^ I'm sure there are a lot of people, like me, who are taking advantage of the mission settings that did not regularly solo missions set for 8 the old way.
