    Penny, you gonna let 1 or 2 do the Mito Mash on the alien scum??????
    I was planning on placing some bids for the EoE's this evening. I am betting that they are already sold out. Then again, my emp def is in FoJ, hehe.

    As for the mitos, I assume you mean pulling the Rikti in to help - was definitely going to use that. I wanted them to draw as much fire as possible. I think you are a better at targetting here and would prefer you call the shots while the Rikti are being decimated.

    All in all, I was thinking the following:
    Miss 1 - Work our way to to me...er...Penny, but clear the room only and don't free her until we are ready. I don't want the clocks getting a free shot to end the run early. Probably could even pull the mobs out of the room so that we don't hit the generators. The AV will be fun, just wait for the team to be together before rushing or someone will die about a half second later.

    Miss 2 - Oh this will be fun for the Horsemen. I don't see an issue until the 3rd and 4th ones. Again, broken record, if we stick close and go at the same time, should be straight forward.

    Miss 3 - No idea if failing is allowed on a Master. Assuming we have to complete as usual. No issues except the AV and his mega AOEs to avoid.

    Miss 4 - I like this mission, but could use some help calling out targets. Pulling Rikti and then to Mitos/Pylons followed by Hami.

    Miss 5 - I guess if possible, stealth down if people want or just fight our way down. Pulling the AVs will be critical since that ramp area will too much of a mess and an easy spot to die. Once the AVs are out, AS A TEAM, lets take out the generators. I don't want someone to split off and die.

    (the above should be heard in the sounds of Charlie Brown's teacher for a more realistic experience)
  2. Sounds good Flux. Have a few for me!

    Agreed. Well said to the OP.

    Master of LGTF?

    Just posting that I made a thread for this Friday night after the CAD SF run, I wanted to set up an attempt for this.
  5. First, I like this idea very much, so /signed. Lately, it seems to me that I make a really nice toon and outfit, then go 30 levels, getting use to the look, then adding an aura, so I have removed the aura. It just doesn't seem right (to me) anymore. So if we could have auras and capes earlier, I would definitely use this reward for my alts.

    However, with some recent threads about players being upset on waiting for Vet rewards (in particular the 60th month reward), I am wondering if this will be viewed as another "unfair" reward that relatively new players "will never see". Costumes are such a big attraction of this game, would this go over well?
  6. GP - PM the mods, see if you can get this as a sticky.
  7. Hopefully others will see this from the other thread. We got Masque and a maybe by EB. Woohoo!

    I'm down if you have room.
    Voo was too slow. So I posted one here.
  9. Okay, didn't see Voo post...

    But want to try the Demon VS. Demon- All Demon Summoning Virgil SF.

    Meet in CAD 830PM EST this Friday 21 May. Come for the Chaos!


    As a bonus since Voo thinks I will be asleep by 9 ...

    If these rumors are true for MoLGTF, then why not after the SF! It is my favorite TF. Will target between 930 to 10 PM for this after the Virgil SF.

    If interested for one or both, sign on up!

    EDIT:

    To clarify, there will be one SF (Virgil in CAD). And if we can get done between 930 to 10 PM EST, I want to try a MLGTF afterwards. Therefore one strike force and one task force.

    Still some room!

    Moving List to First post:
    CAD SF:
    Me (Pen Tacle)
    Voo
    EB
    Spiderdragon
    Flux


    MoLGTF:
    Me (Beej emp/psi def)
    Voo
    Astrolynx
    Ravenous33
    EB
    Flux

    Please let me know you are joining if I don't have you on global!

    Also, they've talked about changing Granite as well. If I recall correctly they said if they were to buff the other armors in the Stone Armor set, they'd have to tone down Granite Armor.

    Though with it's penalities, remember with that also comes -DMG and -RCH.
    Not sure what you are getting at with stone. If anything, since we have earth assault now, I wonder how long will it be before the earth blast set request will be posted - just like the ones for a dark assault which may be a mix of DM and DB.

    All in all, I was trying to point out you mentioned concept and there are players that want powersets for their concept and particular sets ported over because they don't want to be limited.
  14. Bummer, will be out that night. /cry

    ...

    It's about more concepts, if you can't see that, you're not trying.
    But then you would have the posts by players screaming for X powerset because their super-duper concept and they are being limited.

    Why not ice armor if you have ice blast or fire/fire or en/EA or arch/nin or DP/SR, etc.? Those sets are very different and how would they be balanced when mixed or when slotted out with various IO sets?

    The devs have to look at the whole game, which is what Claws is getting at. You make this AT weak, and no one would play it except for concept. Too strong, and nerfs will follow (with all the fun forum posts). I agree it is possible to figure out the numbers, but I would venture that to fit the whole game now and with what the devs have planned in the future like End Game has to be factored in.

    We don't know if there will be ice or regen brutes or nin scrappers and so forth. It is not as easy to say "just don't give it to them", as mentioned above.

    And Techbot's post scared me a little to hear "whatever it takes" or just make a new scale. I feel it is more complex then just throwing a few numbers around. Does SR, WP, Invul, EA, or Ice when scaled differently to "whatever it takes" work as intended? Or will one set shine and the rest be avoided for being "squishy".

    My thoughts

    I would also add on the use Search function. Many of these ideas have come up before repeatedly with lengthy discussions.

    - Level 6 Swift
    - Level 10 Hurdle
    - Level 14 Health
    - Level 20 Stamina

    Slots can still be put into these powers by players choice.
    Some have pointed out old post by the devs that END requirements would be removed before Stamina becomes an inherent. IMO, it is a "nice" power, but not required to play the game. You can slot END red enhancements, use IO sets to boost recovery and/or maximum END. END management is part of the game and a challenge for every player to learn.

    2) New capes, something like Storms and Banshees of xmen. Not just the same boring capes they have

    3) Curly hair styles for the ladies. long and mid length
    There is a thread in a few sections above that is for requesting new costume pieces. These could go there.

    Quote:
    4) New emotes. Check out the sims games, they had lots of neat ones there.
    I don't care about this, but listing some specific suggestions would be helpful.

    Quote:
    5) I am a fan of the supergroup base, but maybe we could get our own places. Like apartments. I played some online games that let you do this and I think it would be a great addition to COH/COV
    Again, the search function will show older threads on this.

    Quote:
    6) New travel powers. Like Champions online has. Some were really nice there, but I like COH more lol
    Again such as...? I know people have brought up swinging and tunnelling. But how would those work in this game?
    Can you tunnel up the ramp to the train in Talos? Have you been to GV and notice that some parts around the main building have tunnels underneath? If you were tunnelling, you would suddenly find yourself in those tunnels.
    How does swinging work in the tight caves or in open areas like Nerva or IP? Some players say they don't care whereas others say they do - who is right?

    Quote:
    7) Let there be jet packs for players who want to fly, but not use wings and such. but not that bulky one you get on bank mission.

    Thats all I have for now.
    From what seems to get brought up is the attachment point. If you make extreme size toons (very large vs. very small) the jetpack doesn't attach correctly in that it is away from the back floating in space or buried in the back. I would love to see jetpacks used more, but there may be some issues still to get it right.
  17. by clicking the scales of your posts!

  18. Spanking time - but for who?

    HBD Masque!!!
  19. Bummer, will be out starting tomorrow for the whole weekend. It is a good revamp and hope the other TFs get similar treatments - although not in two parts (meaning I would rather not run 12 TFs to get TFC). Enjoy and have fun!

    Going to have to find a night to run these two Posi's since I will be out next Friday again. Sigh...
  20. It has been suggested many, many times about unslotting on a limited basis. It would be a nice QoL change, but ClawsandEffect is right that the dev haven't indicated they would change their minds on this.

    But I will add a recent post for reference, that I thought was a great idea, in case the devs did change their opinion.

    Vet Rewards

    Now if you want to say that it is different because each person contributes a different amount of time to the game then that is fine. But if that is your stand then vet rewards should be tied to the amount of time spent logged into the game, not the amount of time you have had your account for, which is why I brought up people being able to prepurchase game time then not log in for 12 months.

    Its more than possible that I'm not explaining myself clearly so let me try and sort it out.

    Person A has been playing regularly for 12 months.

    Person B prepurchased 12 months of game time 12 months ago but has not played since doing so.

    Person C has just started playing and has prepurchased 12 months of game time.

    Its sort of like that math thing I (dimly) remember from high school.

    A=B Because they both receive vet rewards
    B=C Because they have both shown the same level of "loyalty" to the company.

    Thus A=C and C should be receiving the same level of vet rewards as the other two.
    NO! C can cancel the account before the 12 months are up and A and B have shown their loyalty by actually BEING SUBSCRIBED (past tense) for 12 months. C has not. A and B can not cancel time already played/paid.

    A = B =/=C

    Edit - And please stop thinking the devs have not thought or heard of this. They KNOW. Some things are not about money, but just a thanks - nothing more, nothing less. If they want infusions of money, they are able to come up with all kinds of ways to do so.

    I think the answers for a WS have been covered.

    A WS can help in a number of situations as mentioned above. I don't know if you use the Wiki, but here is a link to their description: Warshade.

    As for the Fortunata, I would think of this toon like a psi dom. Again, here is a Wiki link FYI on powersets:
    Fortunata Training
    Fortunata Teamwork

    In my experience with the VEATs, the Fort does act more controller like, but gets the benefit to give some team buffs like Mind Link or Vengence. They also have access to some attacks if things get rough. So when I saw your OP and saw damage and control up front, Fort came right to mind at first.

    And also indicated in a earlier post, you could dual build to a Widow, which is my favorite toon. So it is like have 2 toons in 1.

    Edit for typos.

    Edit2 - And I just noticed this recent discussion on NW vs. Forts. The thread can help in describing the 2 even more. (thread)
  23. I can't tell from the OP, but have you considered a Fort or WS? Those can do the things you are looking for to a degree (-healing of course). Otherwise, the dom you have sounds like a good match.
