When you have teamed with 5 tanks who fly, and of those, 4 of them were stupid enough to FLY (Not hover, but actually FLY) during combat, with no thought to shut it off, and apparently no thought to reduce end use on fly, or perhaps any of their other powers, and run out of end in the middle of a fight, what would you do?
I think that's what's bothering me. It's called prejudice. Every sentence there is negative against a tank that can fly. And, even if someone is a newb, I don't think they're a moron. That said...oh, hell...I am really prejudiced with the Trial people. I was on a mish with three out of six. The tank that retreated to behind us was almost as bad as the AR/Dev who wanted to be a scrapper...not a blapper, just a scrapper. Death rained on us.Quote:I do not assume anyone is bad at what they do until they show that they are. I laugh because I remember the morons of the past. I prepare for the worst because I do not feel that the team should suffer if one person happens to do something I have observed in the past. That's just how I am.
Nothing wrong with pugs, don't feel the need to defend yourself. How else are you going to meet new people? Friend 'em, rate em [good or bad]. Build your network.Quote:So why PUG? -

I love unsuppressed run speed.
Don't get me wrong though...if slotting swift and sprint and slotting for +run speed hurt me in other areas I would not have done it...but as you can see from my build it's a pretty damn good overall build...which is what i always go for.
*and though the consensus is that Punch is a turd, I took it because I didn't want to stand around waiting for Jab to come up. Though I see you took it too. -
Good, then I"m not crazy. Or we both are.
I haven't planned out the rest of the slotting fully. Really depends on what sets I'm going to do and I plan a respec around 30, rearranging for whichever set is best.
Though I don't think that Sprint could benefit with any set, unless someone wanted to speed their flight too, and I'm not sure there's a set like that. -
SZ,
I'm taking flight as my travel and I sincerely hope no one on my team begrudges how I get to the mish. I'm not going to hover around during combat though. That seems really odd and, frankly, goofy.
Loved the "I don't mean to X, but X" statement. Those are always so funny when they pop up.
So, is tp or ss better? Jumping has CJ which keep the kb down, but that should be handled by a toggle [which CJ is actually.]
How is the way a Tank commutes making it inferior? I'm really curious how not having the other pools are better. -
There are too many powers that need to be taken with the wp/ss. I'm going to fly but would like my running to be a little faster...
Should I slot sprint?
I actually already put one, for a total of two. I tried to find some data on how fast I could get with three and some SO or IOs.
Thoughts? -
Here's my plan currently, and I'm at 40.
Name: Ink Girl
Level: 50
Archetype: Scrapper
Primary: Martial Arts
Secondary: Invulnerability
+---------------------------------------------
01 => Resist Physical Damage
01 => Thunder Kick
02 => Storm Kick
04 => Temp Invulnerability
06 => Dull Pain
08 => Crane Kick
10 => Stealth
12 => Air Superiority
14 => Fly
16 => Unyielding
18 => Hasten
20 => Swift
22 => Health
24 => Stamina
26 => Dragons Tail
28 => Invincibility
30 => Super Speed
32 => Eagles Claw
35 => Tough Hide
38 => Focus Chi
[You are here]
41 => Focused Accuracy
44 => Resist Elements
47 => Resist Energies
49 => Crippling Axe Kick
Now, if I'm respeccing. The things I could lose w/o bothering me would be:
01 => Thunder Kick
10 => Stealth
18 => Hasten
30 => Super Speed
I can't comment on the ones past 40.
Removing those, I think I'd add fighting [Boxing, Tough, Weave] and Rec Friend. Wouldn't mind the tp team option, but I can't justify the powers. -
If you want to look speedy, MA is not what you should pick. It's a good primary, and fun, and while it may fit your concept of fighting with no weapons, you're not going to be the Flash. The animations aren't slow, except for Eagle's, but not fast.

I think it should have a fee, (1000inf buys a ticket) and at the end of the day, or week, that money gets split in half, at which point the winner would recieve half, and the other half would get put back into the system, much like Wentsworth does with its fee's.P

If I decide on the challenge of a 100% solo toon, I'll do it on Guardian then.
Or do you think I'd get more blind invites? All the natives would be going "OMG! A Person!" -
Yesterday we had to download the system again because of the PvP "minimal FX" issues. Very quick fix by the devs, btw.
I've had CoH be one of the most lag free games I've played. When I hear others complain of logging in, losing connection to map server, lag, I think it must be their ISP. [mostly] -
There's a slot machine in CoH?
Fee = realism. I have no probs that my lev 1 can't sell his insp from Outbreak until he gets 350 for the fee at Went.
No lottery! [And I'm not even baptist.] -
I'm not understanding what we'd do with a "bank." I'm a walking bank as it is. If you want to transfer [money launder] from one character to another, use Went's. I gave 3m from my 43 on Liberty to my 10 on Freedom last night by selling the 43 a rare but worthless lev 50 enh for that amount.

Some of us prefer to play on low-pop servers, and for those who don't, well, there's always server transfers.
I don't want them to get rid of any servers unless they are taking the two lowest and merging them, as long as Liberty isn't one of those [and I think it's about median]. -
I've done a few Blasters but never for the long haul. My old AR is stalled at level 31. Her secondary is Energy which some people love.
Recently I made my AR/Dev and am really pleased. The only problem is trying to get all the stuff I want. No real mistakes to be made, IMO.
Here's the URL of a thread here that I recently asked advice for what goes on over lev 20.

Good luck with it and if you're ever on Freedom, give Betty Forever a shout. -

I'm answering your post name question "How early is too early for IO's?"
The obvious (but what some people will automatically give me flack about) is level 6.
I have slotted level 10 IO's on characters at level 7. Not fully, but some IO's here and there.
Is it worth it?
Yes, if you want them, if you have the influence for them, and/or if you don't want enhances that will expire. - or if you have them sitting around the base because you made some for a crafting badge.
I have tended to try to slot out my characters completely with level 20 IO's (so starting at level 17).
However, now that the leveling speed increase effects characters past level 20, I may be rethinking when I slot IO's.
It is very likely that some players will level up 5 or more levels on a good team before they have a chance to take a break and get more enhances. So having IO's means that you will at least get some benefit from enhances.
At the same time, is it worth waiting until you are a higher level instead of running around with IO enhances that are 5+ levels old?
I have a feeling that I will still be trying to slot with level 20 IO's and throw some in there at random at lower levels.
If I don't have the time, inf, salvage, etc to build IO, then I may or may not run to a store to buy some to slot until I get around to making or getting IO's from my base to slot them.
My low IOs have kept my blaster from running out with nothing slotted when time didn't allow for changing. But I've sent my scrapper out with all slots empty before. -

Go to options under keymaping and look for "select target", "farthest target", and "nearest target". You will be able to pick any key on your keyboard to do those task. Actually, they have pre set keys already but I can't remember what they are because I always change them.
Rats, I was hoping there was some secret easy way. -

Good advice, and I agree. Thank you. Regularly playing Controllers makes me very used to switching targets. In fact, I'm amazed at how such a simple concept escapes most players, and how much better and more survivable teams would be if more people did just that. You know, help the team.
How do defenders/controllers do it? -
I'm both on Liberty and Freedom.
Liberty is very laid back and sparsely populated. Very few teens spamming idiotically on the broadcast channel. Serious toon is serious.
Freedom is more populated, but not thick with people. I've been in groups who, when on a longish mission, when we saw we were getting crap for XP, still finished the mish. On Liberty the mish would be abandoned. Also, the idiot spamming in Atlas is present. But there are enough people that, even if you are hunting in the isles of Talos, as long as you have your "looking for any" flag set you'll get a message for invite.
If you want bad craziness, I think Virtue is your ticket.
When you get to the server selection screen, the busiest server is at the bottom.
ETA: Had no idea this was 10 pages. I was responding only to stuff on the first page. This is a troll thread. -
I have IOs in a blaster of mine that are level 15. They are pretty good for that range with a 19% in one area. They cost me around 30k each maybe.
But does that make any sense? I already feel they're stale compared to the SOs that I could pick up [If I knew which tech store had that lev]. And the sets, some of them start at 16.
I think I might be before the point of non-diminishing returns here.
I have three core toons. A 43 scrapper, a 23 blaster, and a 18 scrapper. My 43 is almost exclusively DO and SO. My 23 is totally IOs though I'm having a hard time finding EndMod. My 18 is just random crap, he's claws and has been levelling so fast I've taken him on mishs with absolutely nothing slotted [and he did fine.]
Thoughts? -
I hear they are going to have Willpower for blasters now. And Tanks will get AR.

I'm hoping you don't get disappointed. Combat jumping != no kb. It provides immobilize protection.
This is why I should write more of this stuff down.
Thanks for the Karamba, etc, info. I need to get with the whole series IO stuff. I've made too many of the same kind only to find I can't slot them together. I do, however, usually make around 700,000 when I sell them. Why would anyone pay for a made one? You can buy the parts for a fraction of that. -

Quote:They have no FX for Inv for scrappers. I find mine looks much more badass without sparklies all over her.Originally Posted by _Blu_
Does that include powers like Super Speed and Hasten? PLEASE tell me yes! I'm getting tired of that same 'ol yellow hand fever.
Though if the Devs are looking at this: Please make a No FX Option for all the Travel Powers, Some of my characters can't use the lightning cloud without it going agaisn't theme...but SS is just the best way to get around...
I don't like how hasten ruins my toon's look, but I like being able to look at others and see at what intensity they are fighting. Some don't have hasten recharging often, or at least don't use it much. I know I will lay off on a mob that's light, especially if I expect bad craziness soon.
I wish the colors hadn't happened. Pink fire protection makes it impossible to see. And if running with the irritatingly bright SS glow and that, I couldn't see anything. Plus, it would be nice if I could tell the difference between darkness and fire sometimes.
